oceans, humans have explored Earth's most challenging environments,
and have even journeyed on into space. But how did these places

live and work in these harsh landscapes? Most importantly, how is
human activity impacting them and their natural inhabitants and
wildlife, and what does the future hold for them? Life at Extremes:

from burrows and caves to the rocky layers that make up the Earth
itself. It looks at the unique wildlife that lives below the ground

unique hideaways, homes and even whole towns. Titles in the series:

Multiple Perspectives on Mathematics Teaching and Learning offers a
collection of chapters that take a new look at mathematics
education. Leading authors, such as Deborah Ball, Paul Cobb, Jim
Greeno, Stephen Lerman, and Michael Apple, draw from a range of
perspectives in their analyses of mathematics teaching and
learning. They address such practical problems as: the design of
teaching and research that acknowledges the social nature of
learning, maximizing the impact of teacher education programs,
increasing the learning opportunities of students working in
groups, and ameliorating the impact of male domination in mixed
classrooms. These practical insights are combined with important
advances in theory. Several of the authors address the nature of
learning and teaching, including the ways in which theories and
practices of mathematics education recognize learning as
simultaneously social and individual. The issues addressed include
teaching practices, equity, language, assessment, group work and
the broader political context of mathematics reform. The
contributors variously employ sociological, anthropological,
psychological, sociocultural, political, and mathematical
perspectives to produce powerful analyses of mathematics teaching
and learning.
