While most renowned for his oils and watercolors of Martha's Vineyard and the Lowcountry of Georgia and South Carolina, this celebrated American artist's oeuvre also includes marine and travel paintings, cityscapes, and still lifes. In this retrospective volume - the first ever published - the finest examples of Ellis's work are presented spanning several decades from the late 1940s through his most recent paintings."--BOOK JACKET.

Spanish Sojourns
The catalogue of the first exhibition to explore the Spanish paintings of Robert Henri (1865-1929).

Robert Henri in Santa Fe
In 1914, Dr. Edgar Hewitt, director of Santa Fe's School of American Archaelogy, urged Henri to paint in New Mexico. Henri's strong personality and liberal ideas regarding museum policy, particularly unjuried exhibitions, left a lasting imprint on the newly opened Museum of New Mexico.

Making Sense of Secondary Science
When children begin secondary school they already have knowledge and ideas about many aspects of the natural world from their experiences both in primary classes and outside school. These ideas, right or wrong, form the basis of all they subsequently learn. Research has shown that teaching is unlikely to be effective unless it takes into account the position from which the learner starts. Making Sense of Secondary Science provides a concise and accessible summary of the research that has been done internationally in this area. The research findings are arranged in three main sections: * life and living processes * materials and their properties * physical processes. Full bibliographies in each section allow interested readers to pursue the themes further. Much of this material has hitherto been available only in limited circulation specialist journals or in unpublished research. Its publication in this convenient form will be welcomed by all researchers in science education and by practicing science teachers continuing their professional development, who want to deepen their understanding of how their children think and learn.
