This is an all-encompassing and exhaustive exposition of the theory of infinite-dimensional Unitary Representations of Locally Compact Groups and its generalization to representations of Banach algebras. The presentation is detailed, accessible, and self-contained (except for some elementary knowledge in algebra, topology, and abstract measure theory). In the later chapters the reader is brought to the frontiers of present-day knowledge in the area of Mackey normal subgroup analysisand its generalization to the context of Banach *-Algebraic Bundles.

This book provides an easily accessible, user-friendly guide to issues of cultural and linguistic diversity, particularly as they impact the identification, instruction, and assessment of students with special education needs. The authors present practical explanations of important concepts, strategies, and case studies, making information accessible to busy primary and secondary teachers while also drawing on current research. This book includes: - Ready-to-use activities for observation, assessment, and/or planning - Flow charts, tables, and bulleted lists to make key concepts accessible - Guiding questions at the beginning of each chapter to provide teachers with concrete ways to begin reflecting on, and implementing, culturally responsive teaching practices for students within their school communities - A list of key concepts at the beginning and a glossary at the end of the book for easy access to core terms and concepts.
