This text presents a research study into the development of
reflective practitioners in a pre-service teacher education
programme. The teacher educator in the study modelled his own
reflections on practice in the hope that it would help students to
apply reflection to their own teaching.; The results of the
author's research demonstrate that reflection on practice occurs in
three distinct periods: before anticipatory, during contemporaneous
and after retrospective a pedagogical experience. The book
concludes that when student teachers' own learning situations, both
within their university coursework and their school experiences,
become the focus for their learning about teaching and learning,
their understanding of, and practice in, teaching is enhanced.

Worship leader Neil Bennetts and theologian Simon Ponsonby share a
concern that modern worship is growing self-indulgent: more about
performance, less about an encounter with the divine.
They believe that this is a real and worrying trend in modern
worship. To correct it, they explore the Bible's teaching on
worship, addressing four key concerns: Worship as entertainment;
worship which lacks wonder and awe; worship as irrelevant to
mission; and worship which gratifies the worshipper rather than
honoring the Almighty.
The authors each contribute six chapters, tackling worship and
holiness; worship with passion; worship and the danger of idolatry.
How, they ask, can we rediscover the mystery of an encounter with
God, in corporate worship? How can leaders open themselves and
their congregations to the heart of God, releasing his presence and
power? How should we craft the unique dynamic of a people gathered
to sing to God?
Interdisciplinary Teaching about the Earth and Environment for a
Sustainable Future presents the outcomes of the InTeGrate project,
a community effort funded by the National Science Foundation to
improve Earth literacy and build a workforce prepared to tackle
environmental and resource issues. The InTeGrate community is built
around the shared goal of supporting interdisciplinary learning
about Earth across the undergraduate curriculum, focusing on the
grand challenges facing society and the important role that the
geosciences play in addressing these grand challenges. The chapters
in this book explicitly illustrate the intimate relationship
between geoscience and sustainability that is often opaque to
students. The authors of these chapters are faculty members,
administrators, program directors, and researchers from
institutions across the country who have collectively envisioned,
implemented, and evaluated effective change in their classrooms,
programs, institutions, and beyond. This book provides guidance to
anyone interested in implementing change-on scales ranging from a
single course to an entire program-by infusing sustainability
across the curriculum, broadening access to Earth and environmental
sciences, and assessing the impacts of those changes.
Since programmed cell death was first described in insects in 1964
and apoptosis was described in 1972, rapid progress has been made
in understanding the basic mechanisms and genes regulating
programmed cell death and apoptosis. In addition, defects in
various genes regulating programmed cell death have been delineated
in several experimental models of human diseases. This volume
surveys various aspects of these rapidly developing areas of
research in programmed cell death/apoptosis. This volume should be
of interest to basic immunologists and molecular biologists. The
volume begins with a historical perspective of cell death. The
remainder of the volume is divided into four different parts. Part
I deals with the signaling pathways in apoptosis, including cell
cycle control of apoptosis, role of ceramide in apoptosis, role of
antibody signaling, and biochemical regulation of apoptosis. The
mechanisms for recognition of apoptotic lymphocytes by macrophages
are also reviewed. Part II examines the role of various genes that
regulate apoptosis, including the role ofFas, FasL, and other TNF
family members in apoptosis and homeostatic regulation of immune
response. Recently described splice variants and their influence on
apoptosis are also reviewed, and the role of the members of the
Bcl-2 family in apoptosis is discussed in detail. Part III reviews
various aspects of apoptosis in B lymphocytes, including mechanisms
that regulate apoptosis/survival of B lymphocytes and the
regulation of Fas-mediated apoptosis in B lymphocytes.
This volume is the fourth in a series on depressive illness. The
first volume, entitled Phenomenology of Depressive Illness, is
devoted to a de- scription of depressive illness from a variety of
perspectives that include that of the patient, the clinician, and
the psychiatric researcher. It de- scribes the major subtypes of
depressive illness and places them in the context of the life
cycle. The second volume in this series is entitled Models of
Depres- sive Disorders: Psychological, Biological, and Genetic
Perspectives. This volume describes several major models of
depressive disorders, in- cluding genetic, cognitive,
interpersonal, intrapsychic, and neurobio- logical models. The
third and fourth volumes deal with the biology of affective
disorders in detail. These volumes are distinguished by a triaxial
ap- proach. In Volume III the biology of affective disorders is
described from the perspective of individual transmitter systems
and neurophysio- logic and biologic processes. In Volume IV the
biology of depression is addressed from the vantage point of
symptom components of de- pression, and similarities and
differences in the biology of depression are described compared to
other psychiatric disorders with clini- cally overlapping features
such as anxiety disorders or eating disor- ders. The effects on
biology of comorbid conditions such as anxiety, personality
disorders, alcoholism, and eating disorders are reviewed.
This volume is the second in a series on depressive illness. The
first volume, entitled Phenomenology of Depressive Illness, is de
voted to a description of depressive illness from many vantage
points including that of the patient as well as the psychiatrist.
Epidemiological, nosological, and developmental aspects are
included together with specific descriptions of major subtypes of
depressive illness. It is only after an illness is fully described
that an attempt should be made to generate models with ex planatory
and predictive properties. This second volume is that next step.
The major models of depressive illness are described. The limited
progress that has been made in integrating these models is
discussed, but with further knowledge, this will change. Each model
has different advantages and may apply more directly to different
subtypes of depressive illness. Such refinements also await the
results of future studies. However, the heuristic and clinical
usefulness of the models described is considerable and will inform
the reader about the current state of knowledge regarding the
etiology and pathogenesis of de pressive illness and directions of
future research. J. John Mann, M.D. New York vii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

These essays on novels and short stories from the beginning of Victoria's reign to our own times represent a wide range of critical and theoretical viewpoints on fiction. Covering lesser-known works as well as some of the most canonical texts of the period, the essays explore Victorian texts' connections with earlier literature, as well as twentieth-century novelists' responses to Victorian fiction. This collection emphasizes the breadth and diversity of Victorian prose fiction and will be of interest to students and specialists alike.
This book offers a collection of essays on novels and short stories
from the beginning of Victoria's reign through to the end of the
nineteenth century and into our own times. The essays represent a
wide range of critical and theoretical viewpoints on fiction, and
they deal with a number of lesser-known Victorian Works as well as
with some of the most canonical texts of the period. The
chronological range of the volume is extended by essays which
explore Victorian texts' connections with earlier literature, as
well as by studies of twentieth-century novelists' responses to
Victorian fiction. Overall this collection emphasizes the breadth
and diversity of Victorian prose fiction and will be of interest to
students and specialists alike.
