Rationing Education: Policy, Practice, Reform and Equity

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gillborn, David / Youdell, Deborah, PUBLISHER: Open University Press, Recent educational reforms have raised standards of achievement but have also resulted in growing inequalities based on gender, 'race' and social class. School by school 'league tables' play a central role in the reforms. These have created an A-to-C economy where schools and teachers are judged on the proportion of students attaining five or more grades at levels A-to-C. To satisfy these demands schools are embracing new and ever more selective attempts to identify 'ability'. Their assumptions and practices embody a new IQism: a simple, narrow and regressive ideology of intelligence that labels working class and minority students as likely failures and justifies rationing provision to support those (often white, middle class boys) already marked for success. This book reports detailed research in two secondary schools showing the real costs of reform in terms of the pressures on teachers and the rationing of educational opportunity.

An Essay on Contraction

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Fuhrmann, Andre / Fuhrmann, A., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, The book generalises earlier theories of belief change to cover all kinds of changes of sets by sets. The principal focus is still on changes of belief sets in response to new evidence, but the formal theory extends to all domains with a closure operation and a preference structure including, for example, systems of action. Contraction is the key notion; all other changes can be defined. Various new applications of the theory are outlined. A sentential version of contraction, subtraction, is proposed as a formal counterpart to 'except'-locutions in natural language. Connections are emphasised with other areas at the interface between philosophical logic and artificial intelligence such as reasoning from default assumptions or from inconsistent premises. A relation of merge inference is proposed as a means of retrieving maximal but nontrivial information from inconsistent premises. Merge inference respects certain anti-Boolean intuitions while avoiding a revision of classical logic.

Tecniche della sconfitta

Torna in libreria, dopo decenni di oblio, il capolavoro storico di Franco Bandini. Giornalista e scrittore senese scomparso nel , Bandini fu inviato speciale per oltre 40 anni del Corriere della Sera, della Domenica del Corriere, dell'Europeo e della rivista Tempo. Profondo conoscitore della storia della prima e seconda guerra mondiale e autore di opere fondamentali, è stato il primo sostenitore dell'ipotesi della doppia fucilazione di Mussolini, per mano prima di 007 legati all'Inghilterra, e poi dei partigiani comunisti. Era considerato uno dei maggiori esperti europei di Intelligence. Il libro, che rievoca i giorni delle decisioni fatali dell'Italia fino alla battaglia di Punta Stilo, è un j'accuse documentatissimo sulle responsabilità di tutti i generi della classe dirigente italiana di allora. Bandini spiega oltre ogni ragionevole dubbio come l'intervento italiano in guerra era voluto e desiderato solo dall'Inghilterra che doveva allargare in ogni modo il conflitto per provocare l'intervento degli Stati Uniti. Un libro fondamentale per capire i motivi della débacle militare italiana e del crollo del fascismo. inv. n. 39

The Cerebral Code: Thinking a Thought in the Mosaics of the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Calvin, William H. / Calvin, PUBLISHER: Bradford Book, "The Cerebral Code" is a new understanding of how Darwinian processes could operate in the brain to shape mental images in only seconds, starting with shuffled memories no better than the jumble of our nighttime dreams, but evolving into something of quality, such as a sentence to speak aloud. Jung said that dreaming goes on continuously but you can't see it when you are awake, just as you can't see the stars in the daylight because it is too bright. Calvin's is a theory for what goes on, hidden from view by the glare of waking mental operations, that produces our peculiarly human type of consciousness with its versatile intelligence. Surprisingly, the subtitle's mosaics of the mind is not a literary metaphor. For the first time, it is a description of a mechanism of what appears to be an appropriate level of explanation for many mental phenomena, that of hexagonal mosaics of electrical activity that compete for territory in the association cortex of the brain.

The Barents Sea, Russia's graveyard for nuclear reactors, is where a Romeo class diesel-electric submarine is supposed to be scuttled.

There he discovers that Yermin has masterminded the theft of the sub to use it as a bargaining chip on the black market. Yermin has captured Lieutenant Commander Francis Shipley of the British Intelligent Service, planning to use her relationship with Lane against him -- and he may have finally discovered Bill Lane's Achilles' heel.
