In the late Cretaceous period of Earth's history, iguanodon Aladar
(voiced by D.B. Sweeney) is separated from his own species while
still inside his egg. He is taken in and brought up by lemurs Zini
and Plio, but when this adoptive family is all by wiped out by a
meteor shower, Aladar and his friends are forced to join a mixed
herd of dinosaurs who are migrating to a new nesting ground. This
tribe is led by the hard-headed Kron (Samuel E. Wright), whose
'survival of the fittest' approach clashes with Aladar's more
altruistic nature.
In this book, Robert Nelson reminds us that one of the most
important elements of teaching and learning is to inspire and to be
inspired. Given that inspiration itself has evolved through
metaphor, the inquiry distinguishes inspirational learning by its
peculiarly metaphoric character. We acknowledge that students
respond to passion and enthusiasm, that they seek stimulation,
purpose, motivation and inspiration. But because these triggers
operate through mysterious language and arrive at their modern
usage through metaphor, we have no means of penetrating their
structure or gaining access to their powers. We mishandle
educational practice through a focus on technical process and
machinery rather than the imaginary animating vision that
propagates inspired study through metaphor. This book corrects the
imbalance and argues that metaphors are intrinsic to all our
educational ambitions. It reveals the wide metaphorical backdrop of
learning and teaching that works on an unconscious level and is
only revealed through analysing the language that describes what
matters most. Inviting readers to explore learning in a
non-traditional way, this book will be of interest to researchers
and students in education seeking to understand better the nature
of inspiration.
Wind Energy Systems is designed for undergraduate engineering
courses, with a focus on multidisciplinary design of a wind energy
system. The text covers basic wind power concepts and components -
wind characteristics and modeling, rotor aerodynamics, lightweight
flexible structures, wind farms, aerodynamics, wind turbine
control, acoustics, energy storage, and economics. These topics are
applied to produce a new conceptual wind energy design, showing the
interplay of various design aspects in a complete system. An
ongoing case study demonstrates the integration of various
component topics, and MATLAB examples are included to show
computerized design analysis procedures and techniques.
