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.

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.
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, and the
enigmatic ability to learn from thought experiments. This book is a
window on that world.

Born to T'siyiak, a champion horse racer and Com-mus-ni, the
daughter of Chief Wiya'wiikt, Kamiakin helped relatives tend his
family's rapidly expanding herds. He wintered in tule mat lodges in
the Kittitas and Ahtanum valleys, shared in spring root gathering,
went salmon fishing in the summer, and participated in fall hunting
and berry picking. The young Indian also learned ancestral
traditions. Alone as an adolescent on the treacherous, icy heights
of Mount Rainier, he dreamt of the Buffalo's power and completed
his quest for a spirit guide. Muscular and sinewy, he became a
skilled horse racer and competitor in feats of agility. He married
and established his home on Ahtanum Creek, where he raised
potatoes, squash, pumpkins, and corn in large, irrigated gardens.
As Kamiakin matured, he became more prominent among the Yaka-mas;
leaders of both Sahaptin and Salish tribes often sought his
counsel. Through personal aptitude as well as family bonds, he
emerged as one of the region's most influential chiefs. He
cautiously welcomed White newcomers and sought to learn beneficial
aspects of their culture. His dignified manner and attire impressed
both soldiers and missionaries. In the 1850s, the arrival of
unprecedented numbers of White immigrants incited a cataclysmic
upheaval that would threaten the very existence of the Plateau's
native people. On May 29, 1855, the Walla Walla Council commenced
with a brief meeting attended by some 5,000 Indians, including
Chief Kamiakin. Two weeks later, with great reluctance, he signed
the Yakima Treaty of 1855. He also resolved to fight against the
destruction of his people and desecrations upon the land. Finding
Chief Kamiakin is his story.
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.
