Women in the Biological Sciences
Provides a definitive archival collection of essays on a larger group of women, profiling both their work and their lives. The volume representative women from different countries and eras, and from as many branches of biological investigation as possible.
Teaching Thinking Skills
Bringing together theory and research on models of thinking, this work explores thinking skills, strategies, content, and results in depth, providing a framework for their application in the classroom. The authors highlight curriculum development, instructional procedures and assessment, professional roles and responsibilities, and teacher training. They also explore problem solving and critical and creative thinking, and current thinking skills programs. The bibliography includes works from 1980 to the present. Subject and author indexes are included.
The Collected Works of Julia Robinson
This volume presents all the published works -- spanning more than thirty years -- of Julia Bowman Robinson. These papers constitute important contributions to the theory of effectively calculable functions and to its applications. Outstanding among the latter are Robinson's proof of the effective unsolvability of the decision problem for the rational number field (and, consequently of that for the first-order theory of all fields), and her work that provided the central step toward the negative solution of Hilbert's Tenth Problem. These results provide upper bound for what one can hope to obtain in the way of positive solutions to the decision problem for special classes of fields and for s...
Introducing the Chemical Sciences
An introductory guide that is designed particularly for teachers and their students, but is useful in many other contexts. This new edition lists reference works; histories of science and technology; histories of the chemical sciences and industries including company histories; autobiographies and biographies; edited classical texts; and journals.
Telecommunications
The objective of this book is to provide a comprehensive introduction to telecommunications and their applications in teaching and learning. It contains up-to-date information about telecommunications, including the latest hardware and software. It discusses the most recent developments in computer networking and how to apply them creatively in the classroom and the school. There is an in-depth discussion of teleconferencing as a way to bring cost-effective instructional material to students. The book also explores distance learning and how it can be expanded to include the home and office as well as the school. There is a detailed presentation on how to ensure computer security in schools to protect records, grades, and other sensitive data. Practical applications and examples are given where appropriate. A directory of on-line educational databases, a lengthy glossary, and an index are included.
Kits, Games, and Manipulatives for the Elementary School Classroom
This comprehensive sourcebook, which identifies and locates kits, games, and manipulatives, is organized into broad subject areas, including reading and language arts, mathematics, social studies, science and health, and the arts. Some 1,500 entries provide physical descriptions of the materials and
Lise Meitner
She refused to participate in the Allied atomic bomb project and was greatly concerned about the development of nuclear weapons after the war.
Sophie’s Diary
Sophie Germain overcame gender stigmas and a lack of formal education to prove that for all prime exponents less than 100 Case I of Fermat's Last Theorem holds. Hidden behind a man's name, her brilliance as mathematician was first discovered by three of the greatest scholars of the eighteenth century, Lagrange, Gauss, and Legendre. In Sophie's Diary, Germain comes to life through a fictionalized journal that intertwines mathematics with historical descriptions of the brutal events that took place in Paris between 1789 and 1793. This format provides a plausible perspective of how a young Sophie could have learned mathematics on her own—both fascinated by numbers and eager to master tough subjects without a teacher's guidance. Her passion for mathematics is integrated into her personal life as an escape from societal outrage. Sophie's Diary is suitable for a variety of readers—both young and old, mathematicians and novices—who will be inspired and enlightened on a field of study made easy, as told through the intellectual and personal struggles of an exceptional young woman.
Parents and Schools
This book is based on the premise that schools and parents need to work together for the social, emotional, cognitive and academic development of children. While the school provides a leadership model, parents act as reinforcers of learning and prime movers in their children's education. The authors emphasize throughout the book that parents and educators need to celebrate the pleasure of teaching. In clear and accessible language, this work presents theories on learning and human relations. It then charts and reviews the important components of a successful school-parent partnership, giving specific recommendations on the best way to involve diverse groups of parents. Chapters are: US Famil...
Their Day in the Sun
The public perception of the making of the atomic bomb is an image of the dramatic efforts of a few brilliant male scientists.
