Journalism and the Nsa Revelations
Edward Snowden's revelations about the mass surveillance capabilities of the US National Security Agency (NSA) and other security services triggered an ongoing debate about the relationship between privacy and security in the digital world. This discussion has been dispersed into a number of national platforms, reflecting local political realities but also raising questions that cut across national public spheres. What does this debate tell us about the role of journalism in making sense of global events? This book looks at discussions of these debates in the mainstream media in the USA, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia and China. The chapters focus on editorials, commentaries and op-eds and look at how opinion-based journalism has negotiated key questions on the legitimacy of surveillance and its implications to security and privacy. The authors provide a thoughtful analysis of the possibilities and limits of 'transnational journalism' at a crucial time of political and digital change.

An increasing number of multilingual students, often with a migration background, are attending elementary schools in Germany these days. Also on the rise is the number of schools offering a bilingual program, where content subjects such as science and mathematics are taught in a foreign language.

The focus is on effects of foreign language input intensity with respect to students' language background, gender, cognitive abilities, and socio-economic background. This book also provides recommendations for English reading and writing activities in the elementary school classroom.
Promoting Healthy Aging Across the Lifespan
Worldwide there is a generalized trend toward aged societies. Between 2015 and 2050, the proportion of the world's population over 60 years will nearly double from 12% to 22%. As life expectancy continues to increase and natality rates lower, not only the composition of countries will change, but also its health landscape. However, an increased life expectancy does not necessarily mean a healthy life. In most high-income countries more than 20% of those years are lived in ill health due to chronic conditions caused by non-communicable diseases, which compromises functional ability and well-being - key components of healthy aging. In this way, not only people's lives but also societal structu...
