The hydrogen test-bomb Bravo, dropped on the Marshall Islands in 1954, had enormous consequences for the Rongelap people. Anthropologists Barbara Rose Johnston and Holly Barker provide incontrovertible evidence of physical and financial damages to individuals and cultural and psycho-social damages to the community through use of declassified government documents, oral histories and ethnographic research, conducted with the Marshallese community within a unique collaborative framework. Their work helped produce a $1 billion award by the Nuclear Claims Tribunal and raises issues of bioethics, government secrecy, human rights, military testing, and academic activism. The report, reproduced here with accompanying materials, should be read by everyone concerned with the effects of nuclear war and is an essential text for courses in history, environmental studies, bioethics, human rights, and related subjects..

In Consequential Learning, Jack Shelton speaks out about the disconnect between school systems and the communities around them. Today's students enter their classrooms from a variety of backgrounds and communities, but their classroom education has relevance only inside school walls. Teachers can no longer view their students lives as beginning and ending with the school day.

Shelton's concept of Consequential Learning recognizes that student's learning takes place both in the classroom and in the community, and therefore suggests the development of pedagogies with ties to both students' educations and the formation of their personal characters.

By encouraging students to use classroom lessons to the benefit of their communities, the students learn critical thinking and judgment. Students become self-aware learners, a core value of Consequential Learning, developed by Shelton through work with the students, teachers, and community members of Alabama's schools and colleges, as well as communities nation- and world-wide.

The book places emphasis on schools creating student work that is relevant to their communities, so as to encourage community involvement in schools. Shelton offers examples of Consequential Learning, as well as implementable strategies, demonstrating throughout how students gain civic as well as academic growth, becoming more fully able to join society as contributing, informed citizens..
