Evidence and Public Good in Educational Policy, Research and Practice
This volume draws together interdisciplinary approaches from political philosophy, social work, medicine and sociology to analyze the theoretical foundations and practical examples of evidence-based and evidence-informed education for the public good. It presents a range of conceptions of the evidence-based and evidence-informed education and a justification for why the particular examples or issues chosen fit within that conception for the sake of public good. It explores the current literature on evidence-based and evidence-informed educational policy, research and practice, and introduces a new term, ‘evidence free’, meaning actions of some policymakers who disregard or misuse evidence for their own agenda. The demands about the quality and relevance of educational research to inform the policy and practice have been growing over the past decade in response to the Evidence-Based Education movement. However the literature is yet to tackle the question of the interrelationships between evidence, research, policy and practice in education for the public good in an international context. This book fills that gap.
Quagga and Zebra Mussels
The introduction and rapid spread of two Eurasian mussel species, Dreissena polymorpha (zebra mussel) and Dreissena rostriformis bugensis (quagga mussel), in waters of North America has caused great concern among industrial and recreational water users. These invasive species can create substantial problems for raw water users such as water treatment facilities and power plants, and they can have other negative impacts by altering aquatic environments. In the 20 years since the first edition of this book was published, zebra mussels have continued to spread, and quagga mussels have become the greater threat in the Great Lakes, in deep regions of large lakes, and in the southwestern Unites St...
Learning to See
In 2011 Mark S. Weil committed the collection of old master prints, drawings and sculpture, which he had built over many years with Phoebe Dent Weil, to the Saint Louis Art Museum, placing it in an irrevocable trust to come to the Museum upon his death. The 40 sculptures, one painting, and over 100 works on paper (mostly old master, but including a small number of modern and contemporary sculptures, drawings, prints, and photographs) will fundamentally transform the Museum's collection. To honor such an extraordinary gift, the Saint Louis Art Museum will produce an exhibition and catalogue in March 2017, consisting of a selection of 28 sculptures and over 50 prints and drawings. The exhibition and catalogue will be arranged according to thematic sections that are designed to demonstrate the high quality of these works, and also to better understand their respective periods, movements, creators, and functions.
