r ed Algae in Genome Age book most people reading this book have
childhood memories about being enthralled at the beach with those
rare and mysterious living forms we knew as seaweeds. We were
fascinated at that time by their range of red hues and textures,
and most of all, their exotic beauty. t o a scientist, red algae
represent much more than apparent features. t heir complex forms
have attracted morphologists for centuries; their intricate life
cycles have brought more than one surprise to plant biologists
familiar only with ferns and fowering plants; their unusual tastes
have been appreciated for mill- nia, and their valuable chemical
constituents have been exploited for nearly as long, most recently
by biotech companies; their diversity in marine, freshwater, and t-
restrial environments has offered centuries of engaging
entertainment for botanists eager to arrange them in orderly
classifcation systems; still, the red algae continue to teach us
how many more challenges need to be overcome in order to understand
their biodiversity, biological functions, and evolutionary
histories.
Literacy is arguably the most important goal of schooling as, to a
large extent, it determines young children's educational and life
chances and is fundamental in achieving social justice. New
Zealand's literacy education programme has long been regarded as
one of the world's most successful approaches to teaching literacy
skills to young children. Excellence and Equity in Literacy
Education questions this widely held assumption. In the late 1990s
the New Zealand government developed a national literacy strategy
aimed at reducing persistently large inequities in literacy
achievement outcomes. The chapters in this edited volume present
evidence indicating that the national literacy strategy has failed,
examine the major factors responsible for the continuation of New
Zealand's comparatively wide spread of scores in literacy
achievement, and describe the most effective strategies for
reducing the literacy achievement gap and achieving excellence and
equity in New Zealand literacy education.
The five volumes in the series entitled The History of Anglo-Japanese Relations, 1600-2000 explore the history of the relationship between Britain and Japan from the first contacts of the early 1600s through to the end of the 20th century. This volume presents 19 original essays by Japanese, British, and other international historians and covers the evolving military relationship from the 19th century through to the end of the 20th century. The main focus is on the interwar period when both military establishments shifted from collaboration to conflict, as well as wartime issues such as the treatment of POWs seen from both sides, the occupation of Japan, and war crimes trials.
