These proceedings present observational and theoretical results on
cataclysmic variables (CVs). Main topics include: interrelations
among CVs; theory and evolution of classical, recurrent, symbiotic
novae; dwarf novae, nova-like and accretion-induced phenomena; the
role of magnetic fields in CV evolution; CVs as possible precursors
of SNI-a; and links between CVs and super-soft X-ray sources. The
work should be useful for astronomers interested in cataclysmic
variables.
This volume takes on the vital tasks of celebrating, challenging,
and attempting to move forward our understanding of equity and
diversity in science education. Organized thematically, the book
explores five key areas of science education equity research:
science education policy; globalization; context and culture;
discourse, language and identity; and leadership and social
networking. Chapter authors -- emerging to established US science
education scholars -- present their latest research on how to make
science interesting and accessible to all students. The volume
includes international voices as well: Scholars from around the
world crafted responses to each section. Together, authors and
respondents attempt to refine our methods for examining equity
issues across classrooms, schools, and policies, and deepen our
understanding of ways to promote equity and acknowledge diversity
in science classrooms. Moving the Equity Agenda Forward is endorsed
by NARST: A Worldwide Organization for Improving Science Teaching
and Learning Through Research. The volume gains authority from the
fact that it was edited by one current and four former chairs of
NARST's Equity and Ethics Committee.

Cataclysmic Variables (CVs) are well furnished laboratories in
which one can investigate a number of important physical processes.
These processes include: thermonuclear reactions, nebular physics,
winds, mass accretion phenomena on compact objects,
magnetohydrodynamics, plasmas, thermal and non thermal radiative
processes, relativistic phenomena, dust forma tion, etc . . In the
recent year the most exciting development in our opinion was that
the small, cold and invisible secondary components of CV s were
found to be the prime motors for the evolution of close binary
systems, disclosing new scenarios for research. All branches of
astronomy and as trophysics often take advantage of the new ideas
brought by the study of CVs. It is for this reason, we believe,
that meetings on CVs are important for most of the astronomical
community. The idea of a Congress on CVs in Padova has been
fluttering in the air for a few years. After all - we thought - a
large part of the scientific heritage of Padova and Asiago
Observatories is represented by the study of variable stars and, in
particular, of CV s, as Prof. L. Rosino reminded us at the very
beginning of the Congress. We finally chose Abano Terme as the site
of the Conference, not merely because Abano is one of the most
famous centers in Europe for mud therapy, and astronomers easily
suffer from rheumatism, but also because we knew that a very hearty
welcome from the Abano Municipality and touristic associations
awaited us.
