Stability and Change in Science Education -- Meeting Basic Learning Needs
In Stability and Change in Science Education: Meeting Basic Learning Needs, Phyllis Katz and Lucy Avraamidou present authors from five countries who have reflected upon this balance in their science education reform work in schools and other science rich settings.
Horace, the Skinny Hippopotamus
Horace and his three friends (a giraffe, a zebra, and a rhinoceros) look different from their peers. They all are teased and run away from home. They find companionship and adventures.
Towards the Elimination of Racism
Towards the Elimination of Racism reviews the information gained from previous studies that tackle racist attitudes and examines the possible direction of future research that tackle racism. The main emphasis of the selection is on finding ways to change negative racial attitudes. The book first details the trends of research in racial prejudice, and then proceeds to discussing the theories of prejudice acquisition and reduction. Next, the title reviews several studies that deal with attitude and behavior change. In the last part, the text tackles the role of various institutions in addressing the problem of racism. The book will be of great use to researchers and practitioners of behavioral science and its related disciplines, such as sociology, anthropology, and philosophy.
Eliminating Racism
The chapters presented here provide the reader with an awareness of the divergent views of what constitutes racism and frameworks for reducing it. This book points out that the dialogue and research on this subject since the mid-1970s have yielded increased contro versy over the theories, foundation, and continued existence of racism. Ironically, what we viewed in the 1954Brown decision and the Civil Rights Act of 1964as the beginning of the end of racism turned out to be the beginning of confusion over the course of action to ensure societal acceptance of political mandates. Hence, the title of this book captures the essence of the emotional core of any forum for examining racism, past and ...
Finding Ithaca
Poetry. "Losing a beloved mate of many years to cancer is a transformative grief for the soul left behind, a painful odyssey of discovery that rearranges every former certainty as we mourn. Grounded in the poet's study of Greek and Latin literature, Phyllis Beck Katz's FINDING ITHACA moves from the depths of irretrievable loss into empathic compassion for the difficult lives of others, and further, to arrive at the restorative grace of claiming a new poetic voice. 'It begins in silence, in secret, something growing inside us/ we do not know is ours.'"--Pamela Harrison

Ghost Orchids
Poetry. "Phyllis Katz's poems are crucial to us for their intrinsic beauty, for their attention to eloquent detail, and for their capacity to stir our souls. Writing after the loss of her longtime spouse, she knows how--without self-pity or--glorification--to evoke our sorrow, but both in her person and in her poems, she also epitomizes a noble resilience. As she writes at one point, 'Now she begins to open, / expand to find a new language / beyond loneliness and grief.' GHOST ORCHIDS is more than merely lovely; it is exemplary."--Sydney Lea
Developmental Psychopathology
This volume provides a forum for interdisciplinary perspectives in the emerging discipline of developmental psychopathology. The goal is to elucidate the four central principles of this discipline: the application of classical developmental theory in work with atypical populations; the delineation of insights from atypical populations that inform developmental theory; the integration of methods and theories from various social science disciplines; and the description of implications for interventions and social policy. So far, there have been few efforts to present each of these principles of developmental psychopathology within a single, unifying framework. Illustrating these central principles across a range of state-of-the-art research programs, this unique collection of papers will be invaluable for students, current researchers, and clinicians seeking a sound understanding of this rapidly emerging social science discipline.
Drawing for Science Education
This book argues for the essential use of drawing as a tool for science teaching and learning. The authors are working in schools, universities, and continual science learning (CSL) settings around the world. They have written of their experiences using a variety of prompts to encourage people to take pen to paper and draw their thinking – sometimes direct observation and in other instances, their memories. The result is a collection of research and essays that offer theory, techniques, outcomes, and models for the reader. Young children have provided evidence of the perceptions that they have accumulated from families and the media before they reach classrooms. Secondary students describe...
