Geography of Claudius Ptolemy, originally titled Geographia and
written in the second century, is a depiction of the geography of
the Roman Empire at the time. Though inaccurate due to Ptolemy's
varying methods of measurement and use of outdated data, Geography
of Claudius Ptolemy is nonetheless an excellent example of ancient
geographical study and scientific method. This edition contains
more than 40 maps and illustrations, reproduced based on Ptolemy's
original manuscript. It remains a fascinating read for students of
scientific history and Greek influence.CLAUDIUS PTOLEMY (A.D. 90-
A.D. 168) was a poet, mathematician, astronomer, astrologer, and
geographer who wrote in Greek, though he was a Roman citizen. He is
most well-known for three scientific treatises he wrote on
astronomy, astrology, and geography, respectively titled Almagest,
Apotelesmatika, and Geographia. His work influenced early Islamic
and European studies, which in turn influenced much of the modern
world. Ptolemy died in Alexandria as a member of Greek society.
This popular text describes the processes of doing teacher action
research. But it is much more than a dry presentation of "methods."
Filled with examples of teacher action research projects, provided

fully updated and substantially reorganized and revised, including
four totally new chapters and six new teacher stories. This
edition: provides more specifics on teacher action research

includes more specifics on data collection and interpretation
methods (Chapter 3); balances a detailed introduction to technology
for novice researchers with discussion of issues and questions
related to technology-based teacher research (Chapter 4).
Information on Web sites related to topics addressed in the
chapters and teacher research stories is integrated throughout the
book. A new Teachers Doing Research Web site
(www.teachersdoingresearch.com) invites readers, teacher research
participants, preservice candidates, and teacher educators to
participate in dialogue with the authors and editors of this text,
and with each other; gives expanded attention to teacher action
research with preservice teachers and to university/school
collaboration (especially in Chapter 6); examines the connections
between teacher action research and the larger arena of educational
research (Chapter 8); broadens the context for teacher action
research, through discussion of its influence on school reform both
in the United States and internationally. International examples of
urban teacher research are includ
