Anyone involved in science education will find that this text
can enhance their pedagogical practice. It describes new,
model-based teaching methods that integrate social and cognitive
perspectives for science instruction. It presents research that
describes how these new methods are applied in a diverse group of
settings, including middle school biology, high school physics, and
college chemistry classrooms. They offer practical tips for
teaching the toughest of key concepts.
First published in 1994. This book is a practical guide for those
involved in the daily care, education and development of people
with learning disabilities and additional behavioural and emotional
disturbances. It will assist professional helpers in understanding
the nature of an individual's difficulties and in developing
interventions aimed at alleviating them.
Satire plays a prominent and often controversial role in
postcolonial fiction. Satire and the Postcolonial Novel offers the
first study of this topic, employing the insights of postcolonial
comparative theories to revisit Western formulations of satire and
the satiric.
Satire plays a prominent and often controversial role in postcolonial fictions. Satire and the Postcolonial Novel offers the first study of this topic, employing the insights of postcolonial comparative theories to revisit Western formulations of 'satire' and the 'satiric'. Through the varying lenses provided by satire's relation to irony, allegory, narrative and the grotesque, this book offers new readings of important novels by V.S. Naipaul (Trinidad), Chinua Achebe (Nigeria) and Salman Rushdie (India). It presents a detailed study of the complex and multidirectional ways satire has engaged with the history and messy aftermath of empire.

How do scientists use analogies and other processes to break away
from old theories and generate new ones? This book documents such
methods through the analysis of video tapes of scientifically
trained experts thinking aloud while working on unfamiliar
problems. Some aspects of creative scientific thinking are
difficult to explain, such as the power of analogies, the use of
physical intuition, and the enigmatic ability to learn from thought
experiments. The book examines the hypothesis that these processes
are based on imagistic mental simulation as an underlying
mechanism. This allows the analysis of insight (Aha ) episodes of
creative theory formation. Advanced processes examined include
specialized conserving transformations, Gedanken experiments, and
adjusted levels of divergence in thinking.

This is a practical examination of the behaviours that people with
autism may exhibit that other people may find challenging. In order
to help the autistic person to move on from these behaviours, it is
important to understand their causes. The authors describe those
characteristics of autism - sensitivity to environmental stimuli
and difficulties with communication, problem solving, physical
movement and emotional well being - which contribute to behaviours
which other people may find unacceptable and which in some cases
may be harmful to themselves. Drawing on research and on their own
clinical experience, Clements and Zarkowska provide practical
advice for dealing with challenging behaviour and for looking
beyond it to solve the problem it manifests. They include useful
tips on how to avoid reinforcing challenging behaviours and
creating situations which might give rise to them, and principles
for implementing strategies for change.
Contains a Northumbrian folksong for SSA and piano.
