The term Inclusive Online Education has generated great interest
within and across educational levels and contexts, yet practical
applications of it remain elusive in many institutional settings.
Chapters in this book highlight define and interrogate definitions
of inclusion. The research studies reported here focus on moving
the conversation about inclusive online education away from
individual accommodations for which students must qualify, to
models where learning experiences are designed for the success of
all students and teachers—both technically and relationally.
While some authors do mention the need to know and understand the
Universal Design for Learning (UDL), the authors in these chapters
go beyond UDL to include understandings about historical challenges
with inclusive education, emerging understandings about designing
strong online instruction, and how placed-based thinking and social
settings provide resources from which to draw in creating online
learning environments and experiences that are not only humanized
but humane. This book highlights research focused on moving the
conversation about inclusion away from individual accommodations
for which students must qualify to models where learning
experiences are designed to address historical inequities and
promote success for all students and teachers. Collectively, the
chapters underscore the need to choose materials, design
assessments, plan instruction, and engage with students in
accordance with relational commitments to equity. Inclusive Online
and Distance Education for Learners with Dis/abilities will be a
great resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students of
Education, Education Policy, Educational Research, and Disability
Studies in Education. The chapters included in this book were
originally published as a special issue of Distance Education.
Originally published in 1981, this book explores the plight of the
locally born or locally employed faced with spiralling house prices
and strong and unequal competition from the wealthier commuter,
second-home owner or retirement migrant. It was the first book to
examine the policy and planning issues in relation to these
problems from the starting point of basic research and analysis.
With contributions from an international team of experts, this
collection provides a much-needed international, comparative
approach to mental capacity law. The book focuses particularly on
exploring substantive commonalities and divergences in normative
orientation and practical application embedded in different legal
frameworks. It draws together contributions from eleven different
jurisdictions across Europe, Asia and the UK and explores what
productive or unproductive values and practices currently exist. By
providing a detailed comparison of how legal and ethical
commitments to persons with disabilities are framed in capacity law
across different national systems, the book highlights the values
and practices that could lead to changes that better respect
persons with disabilities in mental capacity regimes.

Bioethics has long been accepted as an interdisciplinary field. The
recent 'empirical turn' in bioethics is, however, creating
challenges that move beyond those of simple interdisciplinary
collaboration, as researchers grapple with the methodological,
empirical and meta-ethical challenges of combining the normative
and the empirical, as well as navigating the difficulties that can
arise from attempts to transcend traditional disciplinary
boundaries. Empirical Bioethics: Theoretical and Practical
Perspectives brings together contributions from leading experts in
the field which speak to these challenges, providing insight into
how they can be understood and suggestions for how they might be
overcome. Combining discussions of meta-ethical challenges,
examples of different methodologies for integrating empirical and
normative research, and reflection on the challenges of conducting
and publishing such work, this book will both introduce the novice
to the field and challenge the expert.
In June, 1981, we conducted a two day international symposium in
Rome devoted to original scientific presentations on arachidonic
acid metabolism in the kidney. Scientists from 20 countries were
represented either in the general scientific program or in the
poster presentation. This book does not represent the proceedings
of this international gathering, but rather the edited manuscripts
specifically prepared as sum- maries of the scientific
presentations. We feel that the timeliness and originality of the
contributions as well as the need for a compilation of existing
work on prosta- glandins, thromboxane, and the kidney warrant this
publication. The meetings would have been impossible without the
generous and substantial support of the Italian government, the
National Institutes of Health, United States Public Health Service,
and Merck Sharp & Dohme International. Supplementary support
was also received from Ciba Geigy S. p. A. , Ente Fiuggi,
Farmitalia Carlo Erba S. p. A. , Glaxo Laboratori S. p. A. ,
Hoechst Italia S. p. A. , Leo Pharmaceutical Products, Pfizer
Italiana S. p. A. , Sigm? Tau S. p. A. , Squibb S. p. A. , The
Upjohn Company, Wellcome Italia S. p. A. , and Burroughs Wellcome
Company. The efficient organization of the symposium was largely
attributable to the superb efforts of Elisabeth Mutschlechner and
Miki Scarinci of C. K. International, Rome. Linda Goldberg provided
expert and invaluable editorial and secretarial assistance in the
organization of this book. The book is divided into four major
sections comprising: I.

In spite of a powerful tradition, more than two thousand years old,
that in a valid argument the premises must be relevant to the
conclusion, twentieth-century logicians neglected the concept of
relevance until the publication of Volume I of this monumental
work. Since that time relevance logic has achieved an important
place in the field of philosophy: Volume II of Entailment brings to
a conclusion a powerful and authoritative presentation of the
subject by most of the top people working in the area. Originally
the aim of Volume II was simply to cover certain topics not treated
in the first volume--quantification, for example--or to extend the
coverage of certain topics, such as semantics. However, because of
the technical progress that has occurred since the publication of
the first volume, Volume II now includes other material. The book
contains the work of Alasdair Urquhart, who has shown that the
principal sentential systems of relevance logic are undecidable,
and of Kit Fine, who has demonstrated that, although the
first-order systems are incomplete with respect to the conjectured
constant domain semantics, they are still complete with respect to
a semantics based on "arbitrary objects." Also presented is
important work by the other contributing authors, who are Daniel
Cohen, Steven Giambrone, Dorothy L. Grover, Anil Gupta, Glen
Helman, Errol P. Martin, Michael A. McRobbie, and Stuart Shapiro.
Robert G. Wolf's bibliography of 3000 items is a valuable addition
to the volume. Originally published in 1992. The Princeton Legacy
Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make
available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
Harry Redknapp spent 15 years at AFC Bournemouth as a player, coach
and manager, longer than at any other club in his colourful career
in football. Despite this lengthy association, Redknapp's days at
Dean Court have featured only fleetingly in his biographies to
date. Now, with the co-operation of Harry himself, the tale of his
rise from barely remembered player to the country's brightest young
manager is told for the first time. Harry shot to fame when lowly
Bournemouth dumped Manchester United out of the FA Cup, overcoming
a backdrop of financial turmoil to guide the Cherries out of
English football's third tier for the first time. He then bounced
back from relegation and from almost losing his life to nurture his
son, Jamie, from schoolboy sensation into one of Britain's most
expensive teenage players. Featuring painstakingly researched
archive material and interviews with team-mates, colleagues and
friends, this is an inside account of Redknapp's years at Dean
Court, as well as a history of two decades in the life of the
Cherries.
When making the transition to adulthood, young people with Autism
Spectrum Disorder can find their opportunities limited by their
impaired prosody. Through a program of evidence-based lessons and
resources, this book helps to develop verbal and nonverbal skills
essential to adult life, particularly in the context of looking for
a job or social situations. It is a complete curriculum, covering
everything from self-calming to fluency and conversational skills,
and includes lesson plans, handouts, and homework. The program has
been successfully used by the authors in their work with people on
the autism spectrum and will be a life-changing resource for
professionals as well as for parents and people on the autism
spectrum wanting to improve their ability to communicate well.
Info-metrics is a framework for modeling, reasoning, and drawing
inferences under conditions of noisy and insufficient information.
It is an interdisciplinary framework situated at the intersection
of information theory, statistical inference, and decision-making
under uncertainty. In Advances in Info-Metrics, Min Chen, J.
Michael Dunn, Amos Golan, and Aman Ullah bring together a group of
thirty experts to expand the study of info-metrics across the
sciences and demonstrate how to solve problems using this
interdisciplinary framework. Building on the theoretical
underpinnings of info-metrics, the volume sheds new light on
statistical inference, information, and general problem solving.
The book explores the basis of information-theoretic inference and
its mathematical and philosophical foundations. It emphasizes the
interrelationship between information and inference and includes
explanations of model building, theory creation, estimation,
prediction, and decision making. Each of the nineteen chapters
provides the necessary tools for using the info-metrics framework
to solve a problem. The collection covers recent developments in
the field, as well as many new cross-disciplinary case studies and
examples. Designed to be accessible for researchers, graduate
students, and practitioners across disciplines, this book provides
a clear, hands-on experience for readers interested in solving
problems when presented with incomplete and imperfect information.
This book is not for you. From a period spanning 15 years, the
works herein were a way of exorcising the emotions and thoughts
that would have poisoned from the inside. Now, for the fIrst time,
they are collected and presented for the public. Understand,
though, these stories were never meant for anyone else. Whether the
setting is a desolate apartment building, a porno set or an
everyday high school, it's still a world from the imagination of
Michael Dunn. His characters, often struggling to survive even an
ordinary life, are thrust into unusually grim situations which test
their ability to adapt. The short stories and poems included in
this anthology are dark and disturbing, but - at times - funny and
insightful. And even inspirational, despite their bleakness. To
fInd the light in the dark is to know how to not be afraid.
