Reading in the Classroom: Systems for the Observation of
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Briggs, Kerri L. / Vaughn, Sharon / Moats, Louisa Cook, PUBLISHER: Brookes Publishing Company, As illustrated by Reading First and other reading initiatives, policymakers and educators are very interested in raising children's literacy rates and ensuring high classroom standards. Classroom observation is one effective method to monitor progress, explain outcomes, and determine best practices for reading instruction. Reading in the Classroom provides detailed discussions of the most current and representative classroom reading observation systems used throughout the United States. This book will aid researchers, policy makers, and curriculum developers in evaluating our current educational system with respect to literacy instruction. The chapters cover a broad range of tools, all of which are specific, field-tested, and reliable. These tools were developed to study a variety of research questions, such as the effectiveness of statewide reading initiatives, the increased incidence of culturally diverse students with learning disabilities, effective teaching strategies for English language learners, methods to record the writing performance of at-risk students, ethnographic classroom observations, and ecobehavioral assessment and analysis strategies.
Laughter and Ridicule: Towards a Social Critique of Humour
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Billig, Mick / Billig, Michael, PUBLISHER: Sage Publications (CA), From Thomas Hobbes' fear of the power of laughter to the compulsory, packaged "fun" of the contemporary mass media, Billig takes the reader on a stimulating tour of the strange world of humour. Both a significant work of scholarship and a novel contribution to the understanding of the humourous, this is a seriously engaging book' - David Inglis, University of Aberdeen This delightful book tackles the prevailing assumption that laughter and humour are inherently good. In developing a critique of humour the author proposes a social theory that places humour - in the form of ridicule - as central to social life. Billig argues that all cultures use ridicule as a disciplinary means to uphold norms of conduct and conventions of meaning. Historically, theories of humour reflect wider visions of politics, morality and aesthetics. For example, Bergson argued that humour contains an element of cruelty while Freud suggested that we deceive ourselves about the true nature of our laughter. Billig discusses these and other theories, while using the topic of humour to throw light on the perennial social problems of regulation, control and emancipation.

Basic Medical Terminology
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: U S Army Medical Dept Center & School / Us Army Medical Dept Center and School, Army Medical Dept Ce, PUBLISHER: University Press of the Pacific, Medical terminology is the professional language of those who are directly or indirectly engaged in the art of healing. You will need to know medical terms in order to read a medical record, to complete forms, to decipher a physician's handwriting, and to communicate with others in the hospital in a professional manner. At first, the medical terms may seem strange and bewildering to you and appear to be extremely difficult to learn. Fortunately, there is a logical method found in medical terminology. Many of the words used in medicine are made up of parts which are also used in other words. Once you know the meanings of the basic parts of the words, you can put them together to understand the meanings of many medical terms. These basic parts of medical terms are called stems, prefixes, and suffixes. During this course, you will learn to identify and define a stem, a prefix, and a suffix. You will also learn how they are used in combination to describe a medical term.

The Supervisory Couple in Broad Spectrum Psychotherapy
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bramley, Wyn, PUBLISHER: Free Association Books, Qualified therapists, as well as trainees, are now required to be supervised by an experienced therapist. This book is designed to help those who are just starting out as supervisors and those who may have been supervising for many years. Wyn Bramley proposes an apprenticeship system of supervision that would enable all qualified therapists to get involved. She stresses the need for internal monitoring for both parties and provides a method for this self-supervision. Particular problems, such as supervisees with difficult personality traits are discussed. There are also chapters on the role of ethics and philosophy in supervision, and on clinical teaching. Throughout the book, real case material provides illustration of the author's proposals, ideas and discussions. In order to fulfil the increasing demand for professional accreditation and registration of new therapists, most existing practitioners will have to become supervisors, a skill which in turn will doubtless become accreditable. This book is therefore a must for therapists with an eye to their professional futures.

Introduction to Civil Procedure
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Freer, Richard D., PUBLISHER: Aspen Publishers, Students and instructors will appreciate these features of Freer's method: - covers all of the major topics in civil procedure, making the book suitable for use with any casebook - each chapter opens with a "Defining the Issue" section that clearly explains the major concepts, putting the material in context with related areas in commonsensical terms - integrates the topics of the course and emphasizes overarching issues to help students fit the smaller pieces in the larger picture - provides bulleted-listed hypotheticals for especially difficult principles -- such as aggregation and supplemental jurisdiction -- that show students how to apply the doctrine and rules to the facts The book encourages students to have fun with the material by, for instance: - discussing the stories behind some well-known cases and characters in the development of civil procedure, such as the relationship between David Dudley Field, the great procedure reformer, and his brother Stephen Field, the Justice who gave us Pennoyer v. Neff - relating an amusing opinion in which a judge went ballistic wondering why the Mottleys, who had been injured by a railroad, would settle their claims for free passes on the same railroad
Integrating Quantitative and Qualitative Research in
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bamberger, Michael / Bamberger, Michael, PUBLISHER: World Bank Publications, "Much of the early work on poverty was highly quantitative:... It became increasingly clear, however, that while numbers are essential for policy and monitoring purposes, it is also important to understand people's perception of poverty and their mechanisms for coping with poverty and other situations of extreme economic and social stress." Researchers have recognized over the past few years that quantitative analysis of the incidence and trends in poverty, while essential for national economic development planning, must be complemented by qualitative methods that help planners and managers understand the cultural, social, political, and institutional context within which projects are designed and implemented. This report is based on a two-day workshop held in June , where outside research specialists and World Bank staff discussed the importance of integrating these research methods. The participants reviewed experiences in the use of mixed-method approaches in Bank research and project design. This report is a result of those discussions. The report examines the need for integrated research approaches in social and economic development, presents case studies of integrated approaches in practice, and talks about lessons learned.
Exquisite Specificity: The Monoclonal Antibody Revolution
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Cambrosio, Keating / Cambrosio, Alberto / Keating, Peter, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, In Cesar Milstein and Georges Kohler were awarded the Nobel Prize for their discovery of "hybridoma technology," a method leading to the production of unlimited quantities of biological reagents of "exquisite specificity" known as monoclonal antibodies. Focusing on this ground-breaking development in the recent history of the biomedical sciences, this volume offers a description of scientific activity that delineates the development of scientific knowledge. Based on an extensive reading of the literature in the field, interviews with leading participants and on-site observation, the book follows events, materials and actors through a twenty-year period during which a laboratory technique was transformed into one of the most successful tools of modern biotechnology. Beginning with an analysis of the amiguities surrounding the initial status of monoclonal antibodies, the book goes on to explore the various practices and forms of knowledge involved in the reproduction of hybridoma technology. The analysis of the worldwide diffusion of monoclonal antibodies and their consequent transformatin by users is complemented with a close-up account of their adoption within two laboratories. The book ends with a detailed analysis of the patent disputes that have shaped the industrial destiny of monoclonal antibodies. Acquista Ora

Emerson in His Journals:,
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Porte, Joel / Emerson, Ralph Waldo, PUBLISHER: Belknap Press, This long-awaited volume offers the general reader the heart of Emerson's journals, that extraordinary series of diaries and notebooks in which he poured out his thoughts for more than fifty years, beginning with the "luckless ragamuffin ideas" of his college days. Emerson as revealed in his journals is more spontaneous, more complex, more human and appealing than he appears in the published works. This man is the seeker rather than the sage; he records the turmoil, struggle, and questioning that preceded the serene and confident affirmations of the essays. He is honest, earthy, tough-minded, self-critical ("I am a lover of indolence, & of the belly"), warm in his enthusiasms, a witty and sharp observer of people and events. Everything is grist for his mill: personal experiences, his omnivorous reading, ruminations on matters large and small, his doubts and perplexities, public issues and local gossip. There are abrupt shifts in subject and tone, reflecting the variousness of his moods and the restless energy of his mind. Drawing from Harvard's sixteen-volume scholarly edition of the journals--but omitting the textual apparatus that makes it hard to read--Joel Porte presents a sympathetic selection that brings us close to Emerson the man.
