This book describes the profound changes that occurred in the
teaching of chemistry in western countries in the years immediately
following the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik, the first
artificial Earth satellite, in 1957. With substantial government
and private funding, chemistry educators introduced new curricula,
developed programs to enhance the knowledge and skills of chemistry
teachers, conceived of new models for managing chemistry education,
and experimented with a plethora of materials for visualization of
concepts and delivery of content. They also began to seriously
study and apply findings from the behavioral sciences to the
teaching and learning of chemistry. Now, many chemistry educators
are contributing original research in the cognitive sciences that
relates to chemistry education. While Sputnik seemed to signal the
dawn of far-reaching effects that would take place in political,
diplomatic, and strategic, as well as in educational spheres, the
seeds of these changes were sown decades before, mainly through the
insight and actions of one individual, Neil Gordon, who, virtually
singlehandedly, launched the ACS Division of Chemical Education and
the Journal of Chemical Education. These two institutions provided
the impetus for the United States to eventually become the
undisputed leader in chemistry education worldwide.

In the wake of World War I and the 1918 flu pandemic, Clarissa
Dalloway, elegant and vivacious, is preparing for a party and
remembering those she once loved. In another part of London,
Septimus Smith is suffering from shell shock and is on the brink of
madness. Their days interweave and their lives converge as the
party reaches its glittering climax. Over the course of a single
day, from first light to the dark of night, Woolf achieves an
uncanny simulacrum of consciousness, bringing past, present, and
future together, and recording, impression by impression, minute by
minute, the feel of life itself.
Roanoke, Virginia, is one of America's great historic railroad
centers. The Norfolk & Western Railway Company, now the Norfolk
Southern Corporation, has been in Roanoke for over a century. Since
the company has employed many of the city's African Americans, the
two histories are intertwined. The lives of Roanoke's black
railroad workers span the generations from Jim Crow segregation to
the civil rights era to today's diverse corporate workforce. Older
generations toiled through labor-intensive jobs such as janitors
and track laborers, paving the way for younger African Americans to
become engineers, conductors and executives. Join author Sheree
Scarborough as she interviews Roanoke's African American railroad
workers and chronicles stories that are a powerful testament of
personal adversity, struggle and triumph on the rail.

INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER The book equivalent of a beach
getaway.--PopSugar A stunning debut.--BookRiot The instant national
bestseller about the generations of a family that spends summers in
a seaside enclave on Maine's rocky coastline, for fans of Elin
Hilderbrand and Beatriz Williams 1944: Maren Larsen is a blonde
beauty from a small Minnesota farming town, determined to do her
part to help the war effort--and to see the world beyond her
family's cornfields. As a cadet nurse at Walter Reed Medical
Center, she's swept off her feet by Dr. Oliver Demarest, a handsome
Boston Brahmin whose family spends summers in an insular community
on the rocky coast of Maine. 1970: As the nation grapples with the
ongoing conflict in Vietnam, Oliver and Maren are grappling with
their fiercely independent seventeen-year-old daughter, Annie, who
has fallen for a young man they don't approve of. Before the summer
is over a terrible tragedy will strike the Demarests--and in the
aftermath, Annie vows never to return to Haven Point. 2008: Annie's
daughter, Skye, has arrived in Maine to help scatter her mother's
ashes. Maren knows that her granddaughter inherited Annie's view of
Haven Point: despite the wild beauty and quaint customs, the
regattas and clambakes and sing-alongs, she finds the place--and
the people--snobbish and petty. But Maren also knows that Annie
never told Skye the whole truth about what happened during that
fateful summer. Over seven decades of a changing America, through
wars and storms, betrayals and reconciliations, Virginia Hume's
Haven Point explores what it means to belong to a place, and to a
family, which holds as tightly to its traditions as it does its
secrets.
For nearly 20 years, the author, Mary Virginia Orna has led Science
History tours to Europe and other parts of the world. Given the
broad popularity of her tours among those in the scientific
community, the ACS initiated a symposium on the topic as well as
this book. The goals of both the Orna-led tours and this book
include learning science through travel to sites where the science
actually happened and describing how such travel can interface with
the professional goals of chemists in academe, industry, and other
areas of endeavor. This book makes it possible to plan a
scientifically-oriented visit to well-known scientific sites armed
with information not necessarily available on the internet or in
guidebooks.
HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of
best-loved, essential classics. Clarissa Dalloway is a woman of
high-society - vivacious, hospitable and sociable on the surface,
yet underneath troubled and dissatisfied with her life in post-war
Britain. This disillusionment is an emotion that bubbles under the
surface of all of Woolf's characters in Mrs Dalloway. Centred
around one day in June where Clarissa is preparing for and holding
a party, her interior monologue mingles with those of the other
central characters in a stream of consciousness, entwining, yet
never actually overriding the pervading sense of isolation that
haunts each person. One of Virginia Woolf's most accomplished
novels, Mrs Dalloway is widely regarded as one of the most
revolutionary works of the 20th century in its style and the themes
that it tackles. The sense that Clarissa has married the wrong
person, her past love for another female friend and the death of an
intended party guest all serve to amplify this stultifying
existence.

their summer home on the beautiful Isle of Skye, surrounded by the
excitement and chatter of family and friends, mirroring Virginia
Woolf's own joyful holidays of her youth. But as time passes, and

modernism and the most autobiographical of Virginia Woolf's novels,
To the Lighthouse explores themes of loss, class structure and the
question of perception, in a hauntingly beautiful memorial to the
lost but not forgotten. Chosen by TIME magazine as one of the 100
best English-language novels from 1923 to the present.
