While governing bodies have mandated that all students have the
right to an education, with disabled students treated to the same
rights and opportunities as non-disabled students, policymakers do
not always agree on what all-inclusive education should look like.
Challenges Surrounding the Education of Children with Chronic
Diseases explores the needs that children with certain
conditions-such as diabetes, cancer, juvenile idiopathic arthritis,
and inflammatory bowel disease-might have in the classroom.
Featuring coverage on a wide range of topics relating to
pre-service teacher training, school administrators' policies, and
the experiences of children with chronic health conditions, this
book is an essential reference source for teachers, educators,
school administrators, policymakers, and anyone else concerned with
inclusive educational rights for all students.
The Home Life of Sir David Brewster, originally published in 1869,
records the remarkable life of inventor, physicist, mathematician
and astronomer, Sir David Brewster (1781 1868). Written by his
daughter, Mrs Margaret M. Gordon, the book is aimed at a
non-academic audience, and details the extraordinary life and work
of this amazing scientist, who began his studies at Edinburgh
University at the age of just twelve, and who is best known for his
invention of the kaleidoscope and of the apparatus that initially
formed the structure of the core of the lighthouse, and thus his
work on the polarization of light. Mrs. Gordon cites Brewster's
many activities, including the publication of over 2,000 scientific
papers, though she stresses that she has written about her father
as the man, and not the scientist. The book will appeal to anyone
interested in the life and career of this undoubtedly brilliant
Scotsman.
