Women in the Biological Sciences
Biology textbooks and books on the history of science generally give a limited picture of the roles women have played in the growth and development of the biological sciences, mentioning primarily the Nobel laureates. This book provides a definitive archival collection of essays on a larger group of women, profiling both their work and their lives. The volume includes 65 representative women from different countries and eras, and from as many branches of biological investigation as possible. In addition to biographical information and an evaluation of the woman's career and significance, each entry provides a full bibliographic listing of works by and about the subject. The volume includes e...
Women and Science
First Published in 1996. Following the author's previous work, Women in Science: Antiquity through the Nineteenth Century in 1986, an increased interest in feminism, science, and gender issues resulted in this subsequent title. This book will be valuable to scholars working in a variety of academic areas and will be useful at different educational levels from secondary through graduate school. This annotated bibliography of approximately 2700 entries also includes fields, nationality, periods, persons/institutions, reference, and theme indexes.
Encyclopedia of Mathematics Education
This single-volume reference is designed for readers and researchers investigating national and international aspects of mathematics education at the elementary, secondary, and post-secondary levels. It contains more than 400 entries, arranged alphabetically by headings of greatest pertinence to mathematics education. The scope is comprehensive, encompassing all major areas of mathematics education, including assessment, content and instructional procedures, curriculum, enrichment, international comparisons, and psychology of learning and instruction.
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.
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
