This live-action, big-budget family blockbuster brings Gerry
Anderson's cult classic 1960s puppet sci-fi TV series to the big
screen. Directed by Jonathan Frakes, the film follows the
intergalactic adventures of the Tracy family, headed by former
astronaut Jeff Tracy (Bill Paxton), who lives with his five sons on
the top-secret Tracy Island, which also houses the headquarters of
the top-secret International Rescue organisation. When villainous
criminal 'The Hood' (Ben Kingsley) orchestrates an elaborate plan
to remove Jeff and his four eldest sons temporarily from home, so
that he can invade the island and attempt to steal some of the
organisation's most valuable equipment, it is left to Jeff's
youngest son Alan (Brady Corbet) to save the day...
The Handbook of Research Design in Mathematics and Science
Education is based on results from an NSF-supported project (REC
9450510) aimed at clarifying the nature of principles that govern
the effective use of emerging new research designs in mathematics
and science education. A primary goal is to describe several of the
most important types of research designs that: * have been
pioneered recently by mathematics and science educators; * have
distinctive characteristics when they are used in projects that
focus on mathematics and science education; and * have proven to be
especially productive for investigating the kinds of complex,
interacting, and adapting systems that underlie the development of
mathematics or science students and teachers, or for the
development, dissemination, and implementation of innovative
programs of mathematics or science instruction. The volume
emphasizes research designs that are intended to radically increase
the relevance of research to practice, often by involving
practitioners in the identification and formulation of the problems
to be addressed or in other key roles in the research process.
Examples of such research designs include teaching experiments,
clinical interviews, analyses of videotapes, action research
studies, ethnographic observations, software development studies
(or curricula development studies, more generally), and computer
modeling studies. This book's second goal is to begin discussions
about the nature of appropriate and productive criteria for
assessing (and increasing) the quality of research proposals,
projects, or publications that are based on the preceding kind of
research designs. A final objective is to describe such guidelines
in forms that will be useful to graduate students and others who
are novices to the fields of mathematics or science education
research. The NSF-supported project from which this book developed
involved a series of mini conferences in which leading researchers
in mathematics and science education developed detailed
specifications for the book, and planned and revised chapters to be
included. Chapters were also field tested and revised during a
series of doctoral research seminars that were sponsored by the
University of Wisconsin's OERI-supported National Center for
Improving Student Learning and Achievement in Mathematics and
Science. In these seminars, computer-based videoconferencing and
www-based discussion groups were used to create interactions in
which authors of potential chapters served as "guest discussion
leaders" responding to questions and comments from doctoral
students and faculty members representing more than a dozen leading
research universities throughout the USA and abroad. A Web site
with additional resource materials related to this book can be
found at http://www.soe.purdue.edu/smsc/lesh/ This internet site
includes directions for enrolling in seminars, participating in
ongoing discussion groups, and submitting or downloading resources
which range from videotapes and transcripts, to assessment
instruments or theory-based software, to publications or data
samples related to the research designs being discussed.
At its very center, The Cultivation of Character and Culture in
Roman Rhetorical Education: The Available Means is a study of the
subtle, organic ways that rhetoric can work to cultivate a
particular character. This is an extension of the current work in
composition studies, which focus on the ways that writing
instruction contributes to the development of individual power and
agency in students, combined with an ancient understanding of the
ways that students learned to act within a particular, accepted
cultural framework. It recognizes and reclaims a lost dimension of
rhetoric, a dimension that is conceptually linked to the martial
culture of the ancient world, to show how ancient rhetorical theory
framed the discipline as an education in thinking, speaking, and
acting in ways that were necessary to be both a persuasive speaker
and an effective leader. Through close readings and analysis of
particular rhetorical exercises, the book shows how rhetorical
education shaped characters that were appropriate in the eyes of
the dominant culture but were also capable of working independently
to progressively alter that culture. In showing the ways that
rhetorical education shaped a particular character, the book
demonstrates the ways that the combination character, culture, and
virtue are vital to leadership in any time.

This title offers an engaging look at the debates surrounding the
benefits and dangers of the increasing use of technology in
eduaction. "New Technology and Education" explores the benefits and
dangers of the increasing use of technology in education, drawing
on different cultural perspectives from across the globe to
consider a variety of viewpoints. The reader is encouraged to
engage with each facet of the debate considering the philosophical,
psychological and sociological implications of the relationship
between technology and education. Recent debates and developments
are considered, including: What is the relationship between
creativity, education and new technology? Are subject boundaries
blurred by the use of new technologies? How do we plan for
technologies becoming redundant? Reflective exercises, interviews,
chapter summaries and useful websites encourage and support student
learning and the application of new concepts. This series presents
an authoritative, coherent and focused collection of core texts to
introduce the contemporary issues that are covered in Education
Studies, and related programmes. Each book develops a key theme in
contemporary education, such as: Multiculturalism; The social
construction of childhood; Urban education; eLearning and
multimedia; and, Language and literacy. A key feature of this
series is the critical exploration of education in times of rapid
change, with links made between such developments in wider social,
cultural, political and economic contexts. Further, contextualised
extracts from important primary texts, such as Bourdieu, Piaget and
Vygotsky, will ensure students' exposure to dominant contemporary
theories in the field of education. Grounded in a strong
conceptual, theoretical framework and presented in an accessible
way with the use of features such as case studies, activities and
visual devices to encourage and support student learning and the
application of new concepts, this series will serve well as
collection of core texts for the Education Studies student and
lecturer.
First published in 1987, this book examines the numerous
interacting physical, chemical and biological processes which
regulate the acidity of freshwaters. Natural acidification
processes are considered first, the the effects of acidifying
pollutant inputs from the atmosphere and of other human activities.
The relative importance of the different processes is critically
examined. Concepts incorporated are drawn from chemistry, physics,
geology, hydrology, plant science and forestry, soil science,
microbiology and meteorology. The authors have attempted to thread
the relevant information together to make a coherent story which
should be understandable and useful to readers from a number of
disciplines: undergraduates and postgraduates studying
environmental science, ecology, water quality and
hydrogeochemistry; politicians and managers concerned with
pollution control. Indeed, most of the text should be
understandable to well-informed non-scientists who want (or need) a
better grasp of this fascinating and important topic.
