Empower your students as they reimagine the world around them
through mathematics Culturally relevant mathematics teaching
engages and empowers students, helping them learn and understand
math more deeply and make connections to themselves, their
communities, and the world around them. The mathematics task
provides opportunities for a direct pathway to this goal; however,
how can you find, adapt, and implement math tasks that build
powerful learners? Engaging in Culturally Relevant Math Tasks helps
teachers to design and refine inspiring mathematics learning
experiences driven by the kind of high-quality and culturally
relevant mathematics tasks that connect students to their world.
With the goal of inspiring all students to see themselves as doers
of mathematics, this book provides intensive, in-the-moment
guidance and practical classroom tools that empower educators to
shape culturally relevant experiences while systematically building
tasks that are standards-based. It includes A pathway for moving
through the process of asking, imagining, planning, creating, and
improving culturally relevant math tasks. Tools and strategies for
designing culturally relevant math tasks that preservice, novice,
and veteran teachers can use to grow their practice day by day.
Research-based teaching practices seen through the lens of
culturally relevant instruction that help students develop deep
conceptual understanding, procedural knowledge, fluency, and
application in all K-5 mathematical content. Examples, milestones,
opportunities for reflection, and discussion questions guide
educators to strengthen their classroom practices, and to reimagine
math instruction in response. This book is for any educator who
wants to teach mathematics in a more authentic, inclusive, and
meaningful way, and it is especially beneficial for teachers whose
students are culturally different from them.
Primary bile duct cancers are rare and generally aggressive
entities. Historically, this disease was managed exclusively with
surgical therapy with few long-term survivors. However, with
improvements in chemotherapeutics, targeted therapy, interventional
radiology techniques and development of alternative surgical
approaches, treatment has moved to the utilization of a
multidisciplinary care team employing multimodality treatments
which has finally led to improvement in outcomes. In this book,
Chapter One examines symptoms and the current state of medical and
surgical management of bile duct cancer, while Chapter Two
discusses the clinical aspects of care of extrahepatic biliary
cancers with an emphasis on diagnosis and management. Chapter Three
assesses the risk of bile duct cancer among beneficiaries of The
Health Insurance Society of Printing Industry (HISPI) using
diagnosis-procedure-combination (DPC) data in comparison with
general population. Chapter Four concludes with a summary of
results for chemotherapy and targeted therapies.
This introductory undergraduate textbook provides a concise, clear and affordable overview of parasite biology for students and nonspecialists, preparing them for more technical and detailed literature. Using examples from all groups of animal parasites, the text considers the various stages of a parasite's life cycle from finding hosts to surviving within the host. The author discusses the significance of damage caused by parasites and approaches to control, giving the book a well-rounded scope for those new to the subject or desiring a review of key points. A key feature of the book is its comparative rather than systematic approach. Suitable for all introductory parasitology courses in biology, zoology and human and veterinary medicine.

A selection of Weber's writings newly translated with critical introductions for the student.
Fukuyama's concept of the End of History has been one of the most
widely debated theories of international politics since the end of
the Cold War. This book discusses Fukuyama's claim that liberal
democracy alone is able to satisfy the human aspiration for freedom
and dignity, and explores the way in which his thinking is part of
a philosophical tradition which includes Kant, Hegel and Marx. Two
new chapters in this second edition discuss the ways in which
Fukuyama's thinking has developed - they include his celebrated and
controversial criticism of neoconservatism and his complex
intellectual relationship to Samuel Huntington, whose Clash of
Civilization thesis he rejects but whose notion of political decay
is central to his more recent work. The authors here argue that
Fukuyama's continuing fundamental contributions to debates
concerning the spread of democracy and threat of global terror mark
him out as one of the most important thinkers of the twenty-first
century.
