Schoolyard Ecology

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Barrett, Katharine / Willard, Carolyn, PUBLISHER: Great Explorations in Math & Science (Gems), In this series of outdoor, life-science investigations for grades 3-6, the schoolyard, is the environment to be investigated. Many ecological, environmental, and life science concepts are explored. Students learn biological sampling techniques; mapping and related mathematical skills are developed. In addition to temporarily collecting samples in "shake boxes," investigations focus on ants and spiders, and can be extended in many directions. Students learn that a bush may be home to a "community" of interacting plants and animals. Based on their observations and findings, students select a small area as their favorite location. Environmental writing about their favorite locations crowns the closing activity. This guide is designed to spark student curiosity about the patterns and interactions in nature, beginning with their immediate environment-the schoolyard. TABLE OF CONTENTS: Introduction Time Frame Activity 1 Exploring the Schoolyard Study Area Activity 2 Finding and Observing Spiders Tales from the Web Activity 3 Discovering Animal Communities Activity 4 Tracking Ants Activity 5 Special Study Sites Behind the Scenes Guide to small Common Schoolyard Animals Spider Web Identification key Resources Assessment Suggestions Literature Connections Summary Outlines "In this era of hype about hands-on activities, the school yard is too often given short shrift, except for occasional nature walks.... The book, a product of a team effort, underwent extensive tryout and review by teachers and specialists, and it shows."-"Science Books & Films," August/September "Overall this is a very thorough presentation of five excellentecological activities for children. This is the way science should be taught. The investigations encourage children to learn by "doing" and to discover for themselves how organisms interact with each other and their environment. The activities are also invaluable because they foster in children an appreciation and stewardship for other living things. If they can be taught to value spiders and ants, the rest will be easy."-"The American Biology Teacher," May

Southern Political Party Activists: Patterns of Conflict and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Prysby, Charles L. / Clark, John A., PUBLISHER: University Press of Kentucky, " The South continues to be the most distinctive region in American politics. Over the last half century, Democratic dominance in the South has given way to the emergence of a truly competitive two-party system that leans Republican in presidential elections. In some ways, the region is increasingly like the rest of the country, yet even the degree of change and the speed with which it occurred give the South a distinctive air. The contributors to Southern Political Party Activists examine both the development of American political party organizations and the changing political character of the South, focusing on grassroots party activists-those who are involved in party organizations at the county level. John A. Clark is associate professor of political science at Western Michigan University. Charles L. Prysby is professor of political science at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

Molecular Toxicology

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Josephy, David / Josephy, P. David, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Molecular Toxicology reflects the revolution that toxicology has undergone in the last decade, as the molecular and genetic basis of the science--including drug metabolism, carcinogenesis, programmed cell death, and DNA repair--has been elucidated. It is the first text to explain the principles of toxicology in depth and from the perspective of modern biochemistry and molecular biology, while also providing a sense of the historical development of the science. Emphasizing the latest molecular biological approaches, the book covers xenobiotic biotransformation; reactive intermediates and their interactions with macromolecules; cloning, expression, and analysis of the enzymes of biotransformation; and molecular toxicology of aromatic amines, nitrosamines, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and chlorinated compounds. The toxicology of oxygen and oxidative stress is also covered in depth. Extensively referenced, up-to-date, and rigorous, Molecular Toxicology is an ideal textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in molecular and biochemical toxicology, and also serves as a valuable resource for instructors and practicing scientists.

Theory Committees and Elections

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Black / Black, Duncan, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, In this book, first published in , the social choice theorist and economist Duncan Black aims to formulate a pure science of politics. Focusing on the mathematics of committees and, accordingly, of elections, Black's writing engages with the theories of Condorcet, Borda and Laplace in order to describe the ways in which different systems of voting will yield different results. This can, as Black discusses in detail, influence whether the chosen candidate or motion is relatively agreeable to all, or only suited to the majority group of voters. Black also presents a history of the political science of elections, placing his own work within the context of earlier research and thought on this subject. Professor Black ensures that only a basic knowledge of arithmetic is needed to understand his arguments, although his methods of reasoning will be more familiar to those readers who have previously studied mathematics and economics.

Le sue opere sono considerate una anticipazione di temi pacifisti nel campo della space opera e della fantascienza hard. Nato a Belfast (Ulster - Irlanda del Nord) il 07 aprile fu uno scrittore di fantascienza, piuttosto noto negli anni sessanta del secolo scorso. La sua aspirazione giovanile era di studiare medicina, ma le modeste risorse finanziarie della sua famiglia glielo impedirono. I suoi racconti e romanzi riprendono questa sua insoddisfatta aspirazione all'approccio scientifico e le sue storie spessissimo sono molto accurate e lo fanno considerare come uno dei maestri della "hard science fiction". Non riuscì a diventare scrittore professionista a tempo pieno, e seppur ebbe riconoscimenti dell'establishment (nel tenne a Belfast un corso di letteratura presso la "Workers Educational Association", e per molti anni fu membro del Consiglio della British Science Fiction Association e della Irish Science Fiction Association), nella sua biografia anglosassone si riporta che continuava a scrivere solo nel tempo libero e di sera. Continuò a scrivere anche dopo il suo pensionamento nel , dovuto a forti problemi di vista causati dal diabete di cui era afflitto. In Irlanda la memoria di James White è mantenuta vita tramite il James White Award Science Fiction Short Story Competition [1]riservato a scrittori di short stories, non professionisti, di lingua inglese, con temi rigorosamente di FS.

French Philosophy in the Twentieth Century

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gutting, Gary, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, In this book Gary Gutting tells, clearly and comprehensively, the story of French philosophy from to . He examines the often neglected background of spiritualism, university idealism, and early philosophy of science, and also discusses the privileged role of philosophy in the French education system. Taking account of this background, together with the influences of avant-garde literature and German philosophy, he develops a rich account of existential phenomenology, which he argues is the central achievement of French thought during the century, and of subsequent structuralist and poststructuralist developments. Gary Gutting is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Notre Dame and a leading authority on the work of Michel Foucault. In addition to continental philosophy, he has done important work in philosophy of science and philosophy of religion. Gutting is the author of several books, including Michel Foucault's Archaeology of Scientific Knowledge (Cambridge, ), Pragmatic Liberalism and the Critique of Modernity (Cambridge, ), and the editor of The Cambridge Companion to Foucault (Cambridge, ).

Existential Sociology

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Douglas, J. D. / Johnson, J. M. / Douglas, Jack D., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, This collection of ten original essays was first published in . It engages the 'crisis in sociology' at the most fundamental level of thought and experience. Existential sociology is defined as the study and understanding of all forms of human existence. Without seeking to erect a pristine philosophical sanctuary of its own, Existential Sociology examines and criticizes the underlying philosophical assumptions of previous theories of social science, while elaborating its own approach to human understanding. The contributors are concerned with constructing practical as well as theoretical truths about social life - how we feel, think and act. In contrast to most other sociologies, the emphasis is on the independence and dominance of human feelings over the evaluative and cognitive features of social actions. Students and teachers of sociology and people in related fields interested in the connection between social science and their own subjects will find Existential Sociology useful and absorbing.

Evolutionary Politics

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Schubert, Glendon A., JR., PUBLISHER: Southern Illinois University Press, This synthesis of research into the behavior of humans and other social animals ranges horizontally from a congruence of the perspectives of the life sciences, social sciences, and physical sciences and longitudinally from that of the most recent 60 million years, but emphasizing the last 12 thousand years. From a political science perspective, these essays focus on both individual and small-group political behavior. Schubert's work draws extensively on contemporary evolutionary theory, biosocial and psychobiological theory, ethology and primatology, behavioral ecology, experimental work in animal behavior, neurobiology, human development, and the philosophy of both life and social sciences. Introducing and concluding the book are essays that discuss the implications of biology and the life sciences for the study of political science. The others center on five topics: political ethology (naturalistic study of human behavior as animal behavior); political evolution; evolutionary theory; evolutionary development (ecological, epigenetic, and ontogenetic); and the evolution of human thinking.
