Sugars are familiar as vital sources of energy. Yet the biological
importance of the sugars extends well beyond their value as
cellular fuels. Introduction to Glycobiology reveals the true
impact of the sugars on biological systems, explaining their
function at the molecular, cellular, and organismal level.
Employing a two-part structure, the book leads us through essential
principles and concepts upon which the discipline is grounded,
before exploring the diverse roles of sugars throughout biological
systems, including development, cell signalling, and protein
trafficking. It also emphasises the importance of glycobiology in
disease, and explains how an understanding of the link between the
two is enabling us to develop new therapeutic strategies. Taking
the student from the fundamental principles to the frontiers of the
subject, and with a wealth of learning features to get the most out
of their studies, Introduction to Glycobiology remains the ideal
resource for students and teachers alike. Online Resource Centre

'The book gives excellent ways to empower children, help them solve
their own issues, and give them real strategies that will help them
deal with difficult situations in the future'-Elizabeth Barrett,
Civics Teacher Clark County Schools, Winchester, KY Create a safe
learning environment so students can achieve! Bullying is an
ongoing concern for students, with as many as half reporting that
they have faced aggression or harassment at some point. This
updated edition of Breaking the Culture of Bullying and Disrespect
provides the tools to successfully respond to bullying and other
negative behaviours by creating an environment that discourages
negative behaviour and encourages greater responsibility and
respect. The authors offer a comprehensive, therapeutic approach,
complete with sample transcripts and activities. Instead of using
punitive measures, which can model the very behaviours they are
trying to eliminate, educators will discover how to establish a
cooperative, caring environment and guide students in thinking
about positive alternatives to misbehaviour. This new edition
features: - Updated research, including real-life examples of
successful experiences - Additional case studies and a list of
problem-solving questions - A new chapter on brain research and how
children learn - An all-new section focusing on prevention methods
Empowering, enlightening, and practical, Responding to the Culture
of Bullying and Disrespect is a necessary resource for teachers,
administrators, and support staff dedicated to promoting respect,
tolerance, and responsibility in their schools.
`This book is outstanding. It addresses a definite need in schools
today and will be very effective in helping people understand some
of the school climate-related issues. If educators understand
problems and their causes and have potential methods of solving
them, only good can come from it' - Charles F Adamchick, Jr,
Teacher/Educational Consultant, Blairsville High School and
Learning Sciences International Blairsville, PA In this book for
headteachers and other school leaders, the authors explain how
administrators, teachers, parents, and staff can all work together
to create a positive school climate. Principals and teachers have
very different perspectives of the school and different pressures
that they are working under. But everyone is working toward the
same goal-improved student achievement. By breaking down the
misconceptions and misunderstandings that commonly crop up between
teachers, principals, parents, volunteers, and other school staff,
these different groups can work together to solve problems and
build a culture of caring and respect. This book is authored by a
psychologist and a teacher and the ideas and strategies are based
on 200+ interviews with principals and teachers. Some of the
problems addressed include gossip, cliques, negativity, and
competition - the authors provide innovative solutions for
overcoming these energy and morale sapping problems. The authors
also offer preventive strategies that help principals create a
climate of trust and support and stop problems from developing in
the first place.
