Fully aligned to the latest College Board's curriculum framework,
Chemistry: An Atoms-Focused Approach helps students understand
chemistry at the micro, macro, and symbolic level. Author and
chemistry education researcher, Stacey Lowery Bretz has
incorporated her research on how students construct and interpret
multiple representations into clear visualization pedagogy, which
emphasizes the particulate nature of matter and helps students
become expert problem solvers. This pedagogy extends beyond the
book into the AP (R) teaching, learning, and assessment package. AP

This book is about how TV makers--notably writers, producers,
and network programmers--are deeply influenced by public pressures
outside their craft. Many scholars assume that the relationship
between society and television is one-way, that the traffic of
influence moves from the content of a program to the behavior of
those who view it, and that if a show is too exploitative or
violent or stereotypical, it transforms the minds of those who
watch it in some manner. Authors Selnow and Gilbert maintain that
the one-way influence is only half-true. Even as television makes
its impact on viewers, viewers, society, and society's institutions
make their impact on television, often with more noticeable
effect.
Some of television's most influential and best known producers
and programmers (including Grant Tinker, Norman Lear, Steven
Bochco, and Gary David Goldberg) discuss the forces that affect
their selection of themes and treatments, why they include or
reject material, and how they view their opinion leader roles and
their roles as members of the society that is so influenced by
their products. Selnow and Gilbert examine many of the obvious as
well as less apparent forces that affect content decisions:
government regulations, interest groups, and advertisers. They
argue that the rapid advancement in telecommunication technologies
has as much to do with what we watch as any of the social forces.
The authors look not only at the current control of content, but
point toward the consortium of influences that will affect the
medium as it evolves rapidly throughout the next decade.

Health and safety issues now impose upon almost every part of
business life. The system of enforcement is managed and implemented
in the UK by The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) - but at times
it can be difficult to know exactly which bits of this elaborate
spider s web should be applied in a given instance, and which are
most important. This Quick Guide puts the subject into context,
providing a rational overview and a valid starting point to
applying health and safety in the workplace, and offers a concise
and readily accessible interpretation of what health and safety
legislation means in practice.

From the 16th to the 18th Century, hermaphrodites were discussed and depicted in a range of artistic, mythological, scientific, and erotic contexts. Early Modern Hermaphrodites looks at some of those representations to explore the stories they tell about ambiguous sex and gender in early modern England. Gilbert examines the often contradictory ways in which hermaphrodites were represented as both spiritual ideals and sexual grotesques; as freaks, erotic objects, and medical curiosities; and as literary metaphors and signs of social decay.
This volume challenges the imagery of cities by looking through a
gendered lens at how women utilize urban space. Focusing on the
conceptual and methodological manner of boundaries, the book
reminds us that women are members of multiple and diverse groups
and as such, they can be active, creative, and powerful agents.
Multidisciplinary essays, contributed by urbanists, geographers,
political scientists, and historians, explore the ways in which
women confront, break down, resist, and form new boundaries and
interconnections, both visible and invisible. Arguing for a change
in the traditional agenda of cities, the authors investigate how
aspects of urban life and space would look considerably different
if the alternatives and options presented by women and other
marginalized groups were taken into account. They urge us toward a
better understanding of how diverse social groups interact, how
urban space can enhance such interaction, and what role formal and
informal laws, by-laws, policies, and other planning measures
should play.
Wins, Losses, and Human Ties presents an historical and ethical
interpretation of the football playing relationship that links
Moravian College, in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and Muhlenberg
College, in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Through his historical account
of human ties, an account that is woven from game statistics,
uniform styles, football schedules, and meteorological data, Daniel
R. Gilbert Jr. presents a new way of thinking about accomplishments
in intercollegiate athletic competition. Intercollegiate athletic
competitors create layered relationships when they become
opponents. These opponents must then defend and reaffirm these
relationships. In time, they leave a relational legacy to their
successors. By working together, these competitors create an
ethical accomplishment: their human ties. Daniel R. Gilbert Jr.'s
study of the Moravian-and-Muhlenberg football relationship reveals
new layers of meaning hidden within intercollegiate athletic
competition, layers that point to several important and
oft-overlooked ethical components of such competition. Scholars and
football enthusiasts alike will appreciate Gilbert's carefully
researched analysis of a playing relationship that celebrates its
50th anniversary in 2008.
This is a new type of calculus book: Students who master this text
will be well versed in calculus and, in addition, possess a useful
working knowledge of one of the most important mathematical
software systems, namely, MACSYMA. This will equip them with the
mathematical competence they need for science and engi neering and
the competitive workplace. The choice of MACSYMA is not essential
for the didactic goal of the book. In fact, any of the other major
mathematical software systems, e. g., AXIOM, MATHEMATICA, MAPLE,
DERIVE, or REDUCE, could have been taken for the examples and for
acquiring the skill in using these systems for doing mathematics on
computers. The symbolic and numerical calcu lations described in
this book will be easily performed in any of these systems by
slight modification of the syntax as soon as the student
understands and masters the MACSYMA examples in this book. What is
important, however, is that the student gets all the information
necessary to design and execute the calculations in at least one
concrete implementation language as this is done in this book and
also that the use of the mathematical software system is completely
integrated with the text. In these times of globalization, firms
which are unable to hire adequately trained technology experts will
not prosper. For corporations which depend heavily on sci ence and
engineering, remaining competitive in the global economy will
require hiring employees having had a traditionally rigorous
mathematical education."
This IMA Volume in Mathematics and its Appllcations GRAPH THEORY
AND SPARSE MATRIX COMPUTATION is based on the proceedings of a
workshop that was an integraI part of the 1991- 92 IMA program on
"Applied Linear AIgebra." The purpose of the workshop was to bring
together people who work in sparse matrix computation with those
who conduct research in applied graph theory and grl: l, ph
algorithms, in order to foster active cross-fertilization. We are
grateful to Richard Brualdi, George Cybenko, Alan Geo ge, Gene
Golub, Mitchell Luskin, and Paul Van Dooren for planning and
implementing the year-Iong program. We espeeially thank Alan
George, John R. Gilbert, and Joseph W.H. Liu for organizing this
workshop and editing the proceedings. The finaneial support of the
National Science Foundation made the workshop possible. A vner
Friedman Willard Miller. Jr. PREFACE When reality is modeled by
computation, linear algebra is often the con nec tiori between the
continuous physical world and the finite algorithmic one. Usually,
the more detailed the model, the bigger the matrix, the better the
answer. Efficiency demands that every possible advantage be
exploited: sparse structure, advanced com puter architectures,
efficient algorithms. Therefore sparse matrix computation knits
together threads from linear algebra, parallei computing, data
struetures, geometry, and both numerieal and discrete algorithms."
Tumors of the Brain and Spine focuses primarily on approaches to
the treatment of benign, primary low-grade to high-grade, and
metastatic tumors in the brain and spine, as practiced by surgeons
and clinicians at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer
Center. The book is written mainly for the primary care oncologist,
general neurologist, and general neurosurgeon. Discussion of
treatment coverage focuses on neurosurgery, chemotherapy, and
radiation therapy, singly and in combination. Also included are
chapters on symptom management, molecular genetics and
neuropathology of intracranial tumors, leptomeningeal dissemination
of systemic cancer, epidemiology of brain tumors, and innovative
treatment strategies.
From the sixteenth century to the eighteenth century,
hermaphrodites were discussed and depicted in a range of artistic,
mythological, scientific and erotic contexts. Early Modern
Hermaphrodites looks at some of those representations to explore
the stories they tell about ambiguous sex and gender in early
modern England. Gilbert examines the often contradictory ways in
which hermaphrodites were represented as both spiritual ideals and
sexual grotesques; as freaks, erotic objects and medical
curiosities' and as literary metaphors and signs of social decay.
This volume presents papers from the 2nd Scandinavian Workshop on
Algorithm Theory. The contributions describe original research on
algorithms and data structures, in all areas, including
combinatorics, computational geometry, parallel computing, and
graph theory. The majority of the papers focus on the design and
complexity analysis of: data structures, text algorithms, and
sequential and parallel algorithms for graph problems and for
geometric problems. Examples of tech- niques presented include: -
efficient ways to find approximation algorithms for the maximum
independent set problem and for graph coloring; - exact estimation
of the expected search cost for skip lists; - construction of
canonical representations of partial 2-trees and partial 3-trees in
linear time; - efficient triangulation of planar point sets and
convex polygons.
This innovative collection explores the concept of space as it
relates to feminist studies. Utilizing a range of theoretical
perspectives, a distinguished group of international scholars
crosses over the 'thresholds' of difference, methodology, and
representation that challenge feminist geography. The contributors
extend our understanding of spatial connections, including the role
of social space in the construction of gendered and sexed
identities, the need to sensitize feminist methodology to 'place'
contexts, and the importance of examining representations as
sociopolitical and spatial artifacts. This volume has broad
interdisciplinary appeal while pointing in specific directions for
new research areas, new thresholds, within the discipline of
geography.
The latest in the successful Ruffin Business Ethics series, this
book argues that the idea of corporate strategy is worth rethinking
as a way of talking systematically about ethics and business. In
doing so, the author invents a new way of talking about corporate
strategy. Several ethical truths are discussed in the course of the
book. One is that how we talk about others profoundly influences
how we act towards them. Another is how we talk about others can
influence how those in our audiences will talk about others and act
accordingly. A third is how we talk about others can become easily
and comfortably routine. The author shows what it can mean to
substitute a new language about business for the discourse that has
'shackled too many men and women for too long'.
