The Seventh Symposium was held on the campus of Stanford University with*a combination offacilities and weather which made it possible to add open-air poster sessions and coffee breaks to the programme. This was particularly convenient as the call for papers attracted close to three hundred abstracts and a total number of participants well in excess of this number. Some one hundred and thirty papers were presented in carefully phased parallel sessions and thirty six further contributions were made available in the form of posters. In addition, a lively open-forum session allowed additional speakers to make brief presentations. The staff of the Thermo-Sciences Division of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford undertook the local arrangements with evident success and their extensive record of contributions to Turbulent Shear Flows made the venue particularly appropriate. Also, the Centre for Turbulence Studies, based on the faculty of the University and the NASA Ames Research Center, provided a considerable body of expertise with emphasis on direct numerical stimulation.

The Handbook of Special and Remedial Education: Research and Practice is an update of the four-volume Handbook series, which provided a comprehensive summary of the well-confirmed knowledge in the field of special education available through the mid-1980's. The need for an updated second edition grew out of the extensive activity in research, policy developments, and related changes in practices over the past decade. The new single volume gives first priority to a review of the knowledge base, as derived from recent research and practices in schools and related agencies. It notes discrepancies between the state of the art and the state of practice. These disparities are further linked to brief discussions of policy issues and needed research, revisions in training programs, and organizational arrangements in the field.

This edition is segmented into three major sections. The six chapters within "Learning Rates: Issues of Concern and Prospects for Improvement" range from a discussion of early education for disabled children and those at risk, to educational resilience. The six chapters under "Distinct Disabilities" cover such topics as visual, hearing, and language impairments. Finally, the four chapters in "Associated Conditions and Resources" discuss funding, parents and advocacy systems, staff preparation, and emerging school/community linkages.

This fourth volume of the Handbook of Special Education: Research and Practice deals with the nature and nurture of gifted and talented youth, issues affecting students with severe disabilities and children and youth at risk. Section one focuses on gifted and talented youth, their identification, practices to accelerate and enrich their learning, their socio-emotional adjustment, and special categories of gifted students. New federal legislation in the US, changing views about intelligence, and growing concern over quality of education, make this section timely and important. Section two concerns students with severe disabilities with topics ranging from how they can be served in regular school and community settings to the transition to work and living in the community. In section three the theme is children and youth at risk from poverty, limited linguistic competence, limited cognitive mastery, and family problems. The chapters highlight what action can be taken to solve the educational problems associated with these risks. Special attention is paid to the problems of education in the inner-city.

Hardbound. In this volume the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education offers the first in a series of state-of-the-art analyses of research, theory, and practice in the various domains of teaching. The knowledge base for teaching and teacher education takes a variety of forms and is drawn from many disciplines and other sources. This volume specifically covers generic knowledge, that is, knowledge considered by the profession as credible and generally applicable in most content areas and throughout elementary and secondary levels of teaching. More than 20 chapters are devoted to the following elements of knowledge essential for beginning teachers to practise: Content of teaching, relationships between content and pedagogy, organization and management, understanding individual students, curriculum planning, context/environment for learning and teaching, and professional functions and responsibilities.

Fleet Admiral Mikus Padmon, a skilled commander and war hero in his early fifties, is known as a risk taker and a stickler for rules and proper protocol, although he himself often breaks them. A man responsible for winning two wars for the Galactic League, he's recently been reassigned to the academy as a sort of punishment. But when Manbiya petitions for entry into the Galactic League, usually only a formality, the Vercorians protest and Padmon has been called back into active service to lead the mediation. Behind the scenes, a plan is underway for the alien race of Vercorians to resume the invasion plans of the Manbiyan system initiated years ago. The Vercorians believe Manbiyan is a part of their empire and they intend to keep it. Padmon must use all of his skills if he stands any chance of holding off the Vercorians who have partnered with a race of reptilians known as the Ratarans. A fierce war unlike anything previously known is on the verge of commencing.

Discover the lessons of a life lived in service with this memoir, "Medicine and Me."

Written by Richard C. Reynolds, MD, this fascinating collection chronicles the life of an extraordinary eighty-four-year-old doctor, beginning with his humble upbringing by parents who never completed high school.

Nevertheless, Reynolds went on to launch a long and storied career that has seen triumphs and troubles, successes and failures, and some of the most breathtaking advances in medicine over the past half century.

Through it all, Reynolds weaves in the heartwarming love story between himself and a nurse-who became his wife.

Richard C. Reynolds, MD, graduated from John Hopkins School of Medicine and completed a residency in internal medicine at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He has held academic appointments at the University of Florida, the former University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, and served as executive vice president of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

After decades of working as a doctor, Reynolds still believes that medicine is the "best game in town."
