It is hard for individual practitioners to explore their practice and the issues and questions it raises about learning and teaching, on their own. Practitioners need the support of colleagues to make sense of the complexities of their practice. This book is about how collaborative enquiry can be developed amongst practitioners in schools, and between practitioners across schools. It alsp places emphasis on why it is important to do so. The authors show how a system underpinned by the accumulated knowledge of practitioners can transform learning and teaching.

Unique graduate level textbook on quantum mechanics by the John David Jackson, author of the bestselling Classical Electrodynamics Jackson's posthumously published textbook, A Course on Quantum Mechanics, covers quantum mechanics at an advanced level, presenting fundamental principles and techniques including the Schrödinger and Heisenberg representations, angular momentum, perturbation theory, scattering, quantum theory of radiation, and relativistic quantum mechanics. Particular attention is devoted to the WKB and eikonal approximations, which can be applied to a broad range of physical circumstances. An especially thorough treatment is given to atomic physics. The principles of quantum mechanics are illustrated in applications to atomic, nuclear, particle, and condensed matter physics, demonstrating that quantum mechanics provides a quantitative understanding of matter and light. The book is drawn directly from Jackson’s detailed lecture notes and problem sets. It is edited by colleague and former student Robert N. Cahn, who has taken care to preserve Jackson’s unique style. The textbook is notable for its original problems focused on real applications, with many addressing published data in accompanying tables and figures. Solutions are provided for problems whose content is critical for understanding the material and whose physical consequences are the most important. Overall, the text is comprehensive and comprehensible. Particular care is taken to present in detailed the steps in each derivation or calculation. More than 120 figures are included to illustrate both underlying principles, experimental apparatus, and data. In A Course on Quantum Mechanics, readers can expect to find detailed information on: Wave mechanics of De Broglie and Schrödinger, the Klein-Gordon equation, non-relativistic approximation, free particle probability current, and expectation values Schrödinger Equation in momentum space, spread in time of a free-particle wave packet, density matrix, and Sturm-Liouville Eigenvalue problem WKB formula for bound states, example of WKB with a power law potential, normalization of WKB bound state wave functions, and barrier penetration with WKB. Rotations and angular momentum, representations, Wigner d-functions, addition of angular momenta, and the Wigner-Eckart theorem. Time-independent perturbation theory, Stark, Zeeman, Paschen-Back effects, time-dependent perturbation theory, and Fermi’s Golden Rule. Atomic structure, helium, multiplet structure, Russell-Saunders coupling, spin-orbit interaction, Thomas-Fermi model, and the Hartree-Fock approximation. Scattering amplitude, Born approximation, allowing internal structure, inelastic scattering, optical theorem, and validity criterion for the first Born approximation, partial wave analysis, eikonal approximation, resonance. Semi-classical and quantum electromagnetism, Aharonov-Bohm effect, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations, gauge invariance, quantization of the electromagnetic field, and coherent states. Emission and absorption of radiation, dipole transitions, selection rules, Weisskopf-Wigner treatment of line breadth and level shift, and the Lamb shift. Relativistic quantum mechanics, Klein-Gordon equation, Dirac equation, two-component reduction, hole theory, Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation, Lorentz covariance, discrete symmetries, and non-relativistic and relativistic Compton scattering. The textbook follows the unique—demanding!— style of Jackson's Classical Electrodynamics, A Course on Quantum Mechanics is an advanced level textbook, highly suitable for ambitious graduate students and their instructors, and containing novel problems with detailed solutions to aid in gaining a solid understanding of the subject.

Unmasking Masculinity (Routledge Revivals) - A Critical Autobiography (Hardcover): David Jackson Unmasking Masculinity (Routledge Revivals) - A Critical Autobiography (Hardcover)
David Jackson
R4,567 Discovery Miles 45 670 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

In this detailed investigation of masculine gendered identity, first published in 1990, David Jackson uses his own personal history to look at the specific ways in which men become masculine . In doing so he examines, but also offers some positive challenges to, the assumed qualities and values of growing up manly . Jackson looks closely at the psychological and social forces active in his own development: relations with his father, violence at school, male banter and joking, sporting activities, boys comics, and sexual relations. The title is a deliberate blend between life story and critical commentary that makes use of some areas of post-structuralist theory to make visible the social and emotional processes that contribute to one man s life history. With an innovative theoretical approach, this reissue will be of particular value to those interested in the social, psychological and cultural forces that have gone into the historical shaping of men and masculinities.

Taboos in German Literature (Hardcover): David Jackson Taboos in German Literature (Hardcover)
David Jackson
R2,733 Discovery Miles 27 330 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Students of German Literature will have asked themselves at one stage or another why certain topics have received saturation treatment of the last two centuries while others have been either ignored entirely or at best grossly neglected. This book tackles this fascinating issue and illuminates why, at various junctures, specific topics and attitudes were regarded by influential sections of society as being either inadmissable or presentable only in particular, prescribed ways. While the presentation of sexual matters such as homosexuality and lesbianism is inevitably at the heart of the book, political, social, and ideological issues also loom large. The editor has recruited a team of prominent scholars to provide a penetrating, comprehensive focus that ranges from individual writers and their works, i.e., Goethe, Hoelderlin, Kafka, and Thomas Mann, to specific issues, movements and periods.

The Two Koreas and their Global Engagements (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2022): Andrew David Jackson The Two Koreas and their Global Engagements (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2022)
Andrew David Jackson
R3,544 Discovery Miles 35 440 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book departs from existing studies by focusing on the impact of international influences on the society, culture, and language of both North and South Korea. Since President Kim Young Sam's segyehwa drive of the mid-1990s, South Korea has become a model for successful globalization. In contrast, North Korea is commonly considered one of the least internationally integrated countries. This characterization fails to account for the reality of the two Koreas and their global engagements. The opening essay situates the chapters by highlighting some significant contrasts and commonalities between the experiences of North and South Korea's history of engagement with the world beyond the Peninsula. The chapters explore both the longer-term historical influence of Korea's international contacts as well as specific Korean cultural, linguistic, and social developments that have occurred since the 1990s demise of the global Cold War and greater international integration.

Kenneth David Jackson
R1,298 Discovery Miles 12 980 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

In the first three decades of the twentieth century, artists, writers, musicians, and architects from both sides of the Atlantic interacted to create a modern style for Brazil. Their works shaped Brazilian national expression and self-definition for the twentieth century and into the present, with renewed relevance as Brazil plays an increasingly important role in global affairs. Artists such as Tarsila do Amaral and Roberto Burle-Marx are appearing for the first time in museums in the United States and Europe, along with the concept of antropofagia from the "Cannibal Manifesto", a theory of cultural autonomy and a model for fusion, hybridity, and assimilation. This book offers a cultural history and interpretation of Brazilian modernism in the arts and letters, exploring how modernism depends on transatlantic negotiation and develops through interchanges between Brazilians and Europeans.

David Jackson
R1,038 Discovery Miles 10 380 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The rise of critical realism in nineteenth-century Russia culminated in 1870 with the formation of the Wanderers, Russia's first independent artistic society. Through depictions of the harsh lives of the peasantry, the fate of political activists, Russian history, landscapes, and portraits of the nation's cultural elite, such as Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, the society became synonymous with dissident sentiments. Yet its members were far from being purveyors of anti-Tsarist propaganda and their canvases reflect also a warm humanity and a fierce pride for such nationalistic themes as Russian myth and legend. Through close readings of single canvases, investigations of major themes and a multi-disciplinary integration of the Wanderers within Russian society, this book gives the first comprehensive analysis of the crucial cultural role played by one of the most successful and genuinely popular schools of art, the legacy of which comprises a fascinating panorama of life and thought in pre-revolutionary Russia. -- .

The "Korean Wave", or Hallyu phenomenon, has brought South Korean popular culture to the global population. Studies on Korean visual culture have therefore often focused on this aspect, leaving North Korea sidelined and often considered in a negative light because of its political regime. Korean Screen Cultures sets out to redress this imbalance with a broad selection of essays spanning both North and South as well as different methodological approaches, from ethnographic and audience studies to cultural materialist readings. The first section of the book, "The South", highlights popular media - including online gaming and television drama - and concentrates on the margins, in which the very nature of "The South" is contested. "The South and the North" examines North Korea as an ideological other in South Korean popular culture as well as discussing North Korean cinema itself. "The Global" offers new approaches to Korean popular culture beyond national borders and includes work on K-pop and Korean television drama. This book is a vital addition to existing scholarship on Korean popular culture, offering a unique view by providing an imaginary unification of the two Koreas negotiated through local and transnational popular culture flows.

Almost forty years after the publication of Hobsbawm and Ranger's The Invention of Tradition, the subject of invented traditions-cultural and historical practices that claim a continuity with a distant past but which are in fact of relatively recent origin-is still relevant, important, and highly contentious. Invented Traditions in North and South Korea examines the ways in which compressed modernity, Cold War conflict, and ideological opposition has impacted the revival of traditional forms in both Koreas. The volume is divided thematically into sections covering: (1) history, religions, (2) language, (3) music, food, crafts, and finally, (4) space. It includes chapters on pseudo-histories, new religions, linguistic politeness, literary Chinese, p'ansori, heritage, North Korean food, architecture, and the invention of children's pilgrimages in the DPRK. As the first comparative study of invented traditions in North and South Korea, the book takes the reader on a journey through Korea's epic twentieth century, examining the revival of culture in the context of colonialism, decolonization, national division, dictatorship, and modernization. The book investigates what it describes as "monumental" invented traditions formulated to maintain order, loyalty, and national identity during periods of political upheaval as well as cultural revivals less explicitly connected to political power. Invented Traditions in North and South Korea demonstrates that invented traditions can teach us a great deal about the twentieth-century political and cultural trajectories of the two Koreas. With contributions from historians, sociologists, folklorists, scholars of performance, and anthropologists, this volume will prove invaluable to Koreanists, as well as teachers and students of Korean and Asian studies undergraduate courses.

Throughout the twentieth century, authors from Latin American countries have contributed some of the freshest and most original works to world literature. Foremost among these contributions are the works of the Latin American vanguardists, to whom this bibliography serves as a research guide. Rather than listing everything ever written by and about the vanguardists, this volume narrows its focus to a fundamental 15 year period, 1920 through 1935, and selects, assesses, and annotates both primary and secondary materials from those years. Secondary materials published since 1935 are also included as part of the listings. The guide is organized in four major parts. An introductory essay is first, formulating a multi-national working synthesis of vanguardism in Latin America and providing a conceptual background for the bibliographic listings. This is followed by a general list that is an annotated gathering of critical and bibliographic materials that documents and supports the multi-national approach established in the introduction. It offers a detailed overview of the general material available on vanguardism. The largest of the sections is the national lists, which provide categorized information on vanguardist groups, major figures, individual works, and literary journals, organized in a geographic framework. Both the general and national lists divide sources into those of the 1920-1935 time period and those critical studies written since 1935. The entries in these sections follow standard bibliographic formats, with titles maintained in their original languages and annotations in English. The volume concludes with a detailed, cross-referenced index that utilizes the unique designating numbers assigned in the bibliographic listings. For courses in Latin American and twentieth century literature, this work will be an essential reference source, and both public and academic libraries will certainly find it to be a valuable addition to their collections.

This text confronts the complacent assumption that "boys will be boys" which has resulted in a widespread blindness about the problem of boys in school. It challenges the culture of aggressive manliness within which most boys have grown up and the destructive masculinity that they learn later in life. This challenging is done by critically investigating the key social forces that shape boys - insults, put-downs, sport and the making of masculine bodies and militaristic culture. The book is a balance between theories on boys and classroom practice. Each chapter has a thematic introduction, a series of classroom strategies (including practical suggestions for classroom use), and an "in the classroom" section which includes a short account of working with boys on some of these themes in an inner-city comprehensive school.
