An illustrated guide to introduction to major fossil groups.
An illustrated guide to introduction to major fossil groups.
E. H. Carr (1892-1982) was born into security but lived a life of controversy. Attacked for appeasing both Hitler and Stalin, he was not only one of the most productive writers of the 20th century but one of its most provocative as well. In this book--the first ever to deal critically but fairly with Carr's contribution to international relations, Soviet Studies and the study of history--16 internationally respected contributors grapple with his complex intellectual legacy. For those seriously interested in understanding the life and times of this most English of establishment radicals this is the place to begin.
This work is the continuation and revision of a project started in
2006 with the publication of In Contact by the Combat Studies
Institute. The original concept was to present a series of military
vignettes in a style similar to the widely used case-study
methodology commonly found in military literature. The final
version of Between the Rivers, instead of following this strict
case-study format, presents combat action vignettes as narrative
accounts of the various types of actions challenging combat leaders
in Iraq in 2003-2005.
Written and illustrated with unsurpassed clarity, Molecular
Biology: Principles and Practice introduces fundamental concepts
while exposing students to how science is done. The authors convey
the sense of joy and excitement that comes from scientific
discovery, highlighting the work of researchers who have shaped-and
who continue to shape-the field today. The second edition addresses
recent discoveries and advances, corresponding to our ever-changing
understanding of molecular biology. There are numerous new figures
and photos, along with significantly updated figures in every
chapter. There are also new end-of-chapter questions for every
chapter and many new Unanswered Questions. This textbook is
available with LaunchPad. LaunchPad combines an interactive ebook
with high-quality multimedia content and ready-made assessment
options, including Learning Curve adaptive quizzing. See
'Instructor Resources' and 'Student Resources' for further
information.
This book proposes a new theory of change in American higher
education that explains the resilience of colleges and
universities, and demonstrates how they adapt to new social and
economic conditions. It argues that the demands for new educational
missions, new sources of capital to finance innovation, and new
organizational and governance models lead to the creation of
institutional diversity. Using the theory of "accretive change" to
predict future changes, this volume asserts that the rise of
artificial intelligence and new investment models within the field
of social entrepreneurship will shape the next wave of universities
and educational institutions.
Library Collaborations and Community Partnerships illustrates the
value of libraries and their resources through an array of
alliances to improve health and enhance people's lives. It is
unique in its illustration of key principles of collaboration,
partner engagement, shared leadership, project development and
outcomes measurement, as well as the challenges inherent in
collaborations among diverse partners. The book includes
collaboration exemplars focused on education, health, information
literacy and capacity building for populations that experience
access and resource disparities. It highlights the innovative use
of existing assets, environments and diverse professions to broaden
access to resources and information to those in need. The
strategies, challenges, outcomes and lessons learned that are
described in the volume have application for a variety of settings
and populations. Highlighting the key role that libraries play in
guiding successful interprofessional collaborations with
communities, Library Collaborations and Community Partnerships
should be of interest to academics, students and professionals
engaged in library and information science, education, health care,
social services and community organizations.
This practical and accessible book, first published in 1987,
provides examples of ways in which schools can ease children
through the stress caused by changes in family structure. Through
case histories the authors illustrate the sorts of problems likely
to produce stress for children during divorce. In the following
chapters they deal with the stages of marital breakdown; children's
reactions to parental separation related to age; the law and legal
processes associated with divorce; the role of the school and its
organisation in helping children under stress, and the relevance of
curriculum content for such children. This title will be of
interest to teachers and students of education and sociology.
