`The book is at once accessible, evidence-based, practical and eminently readable...Readers will find in this book a treasury of learners′ voices guiding us towards the goal of more effective learning in classrooms′ - International Network for School Improvement `This book promotes an ambitious and inspiring conception of meaningful pedagogy and works to applaud those teachers who are determined to reflect upon, enquire into, and then facilitate ′′effective learning′′. A coherent and structured case is made for the primacy of ′′learning′′ over ′′work′′ - Learning & Teaching Update This book addresses an important, and too seldom addressed issue: learning. Not teac...
Report presents a series of analyses and recommendations for fostering the role of culture for sustainable development. Drawing on a global survey implemented with nine regional partners and insights from scholars, NGOs and urban thinkers, the report offers a global overview of urban heritage safeguarding, conservation and management, as well as the promotion of cultural and creative industries, highlighting their role as resources for sustainable urban development. Report is intended as a policy framework document to support governments in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Urban Development and the New Urban Agenda.
This engaging and clearly written textbook/reference provides a must-have introduction to the rapidly emerging interdisciplinary field of data science. It focuses on the principles fundamental to becoming a good data scientist and the key skills needed to build systems for collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data. The Data Science Design Manual is a source of practical insights that highlights what really matters in analyzing data, and provides an intuitive understanding of how these core concepts can be used. The book does not emphasize any particular programming language or suite of data-analysis tools, focusing instead on high-level discussion of important design principles. This easy...
It surprises many to learn that millions of Soviet Muslims fought on the frontlines against Hitler's armies. During the Second World War, as the Soviet Red Army was locked in brutal combat against the Nazis, Stalin ended the state's violent, decades-long persecution of religion. Religious elites of all faiths were suddenly tasked with rallying Soviet citizens to a "Holy War" against Hitler. Using evidence from many sources (in several languages including Russian, Tatar, Bashkir, Uzbek, and Persian), God Save the USSR recounts the wartime "religious revolution" that ensued, with a focus on the Soviet Union's Muslims.
Enabling the Business of Agriculture 2019 presents indicators that measure the laws, regulations and bureaucratic processes that affect farmers in 101 countries.

The report highlights global best performers and countries that made the most significant regulatory improvements in support of farmers.
Using newly-uncovered archival evidence, Jeff Eden sheds unprecedented light on the lives of slaves ensnared by the Central Asian slave trade.
This masterful book from top experts provides clinical insights on reverse shoulder arthroplasty gleaned from hands-on refinement of shoulder replacement techniques. Years of significant biomechanical and clinical research yielded invaluable knowledge that led to important improvements in functional outcome and implant durability. Among these refinements were stronger polyethylene derivatives, better ingrowth technology, and improved connection devices. As the durability and longevity of implant technology increased, younger active patients became suitable candidates for this procedure. In fact, RSA has played a pivotal role in making shoulder arthroplasty the fastest growing implant technol...
Reviews the current state of knowledge of neutrino masses and the related question of neutrino oscillations. After an overview of the theory of neutrino masses and mixings, detailed accounts are given of the laboratory limits on neutrino masses, astrophysical and cosmological constraints on those masses, experimental results on neutrino oscillations, the theoretical interpretation of those results, and theoretical models of neutrino masses and mixings. The book concludes with an examination of the potential of long-baseline experiments. This is an essential reference text for workers in elementary-particle physics, nuclear physics, and astrophysics.
El advenimiento de las terapias moleculares dirigidas y de la inmunoterapia en la última década representa sin duda un gran adelanto en la medicina. Este cambio de paradigma promete muchísimos avances en el campo de la medicina individualizada. A pesar de que estos fármacos suelen tener un mejor perfil de seguridad que los quimioterápicos convencionales, no se encuentran exentos de efectos adversos; y uno de los órganos más afectados es la piel. Sin embargo, es frecuente que estas toxicidades cutáneomucosas sean subdiagnosticadas– probablemente por su desconocimiento– y la demora que se produce en su diagnóstico puede afectar seriamente la calidad de vida del paciente y la regul...
