Children Talking Television; The Making of Television

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Buckingham, David / Buckingham, D. / David Buckingham University of London In, PUBLISHER: Routledge, Is television harmful to children? Does it destroy imagination, provode delinquency and violence, undermine family life and have other detrimental effects on children?; The author, himself a parent, teacher and researcher investigates the complex ways in which children actively make meaning and take pleasure from television. Chapters cover the popular debates about children and television from a general and academic perspective.

Finally, conclusions are presented and issues outlined for further research.; Drawing on theories and ideas developed within media and cultural studies, English, education, psychology, sociology, linguistics and other related areas, this book will be useful to both students and teachers in the field, and to the general reader with an interest in children and the media.

School Mathematics in the s

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Howson / Wilson, Leslie / Wilson, Robb, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, Countries throughout the world are faced with the problem of adjusting school mathematics curricula in an attempt to match rapid changes in society, technology and educational systems. The ICMI Study is intended to help those who wish to form a vision of what school mathematics might be in the 's and to work towards the fulfilment of goals. In doing this it will be guided by the experiences of the past thirty years, which have taught us that what is desirable might not be attainable, and that goals must be set which acknowledge the existence of constraints. The Study seeks to identify key issues and basic questions within mathematics education, to propose and comment upon alternative strategies, and to provide a stimulus for more detailed, less general discussions, within more limited geographical and social contexts. The text is based upon an international symposium held in Kuwait in February, and attended by selected mathematics educators drawn from all parts of the world.

Before Roe: Abortion Policy in the States

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Nossiff, Rosemary, PUBLISHER: Temple University Press, Few issues in contemporary U.S. politics have remained on the public agenda so long and so divisively as abortion policy. The landmark Supreme Court decision of Roe v. Wade, which held that laws prohibiting first trimester abortions were illegal because they violated a woman's right to privacy, still generates heated controversy today, a quarter of a century after it was made. The seeds of that controversy were sown in the seven years immediately preceding Roe, when state legislatures tried to reconcile religious opposition to abortion and individuals' civil liberties. In this groundbreaking book, Rosemary Nossiff examines the forces that shaped abortion policy during those years, and the ways in which states responded to them. To provide in-depth analysis while still looking broadly at the picture, she studies New York, which passed the most permissive abortion bill in the country, and Pennsylvania, which passed one of the most restrictive. That these two states, which share similar demographic, political, and economic characteristics, should reach two such different outcomes provides a perfect case study for observing political dynamics at the state level. Nossiff examines the medical, religious, and legal discourses employed on both sides of the debate, as well as the role played by feminist discourse. She looks at the role of the political parties in the campaigns, as well as such interest groups as the National Council of Catholic Bishops, the Clergy Consultation Service, the National Organization for Women, and the National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws. In addition, she analyzes the strategies used by both sides, as well as partisan and institutionaldevelopments that facilitated success or failure. Finally, in the Epilogue, she assesses the Roe decision and its aftermath, including an analysis of the pro-life movement in Pennsylvania. As the author remarks, "Without question people's positions on abortion are shaped by a myriad of social, moral, and economic factors. But ultimately abortion policy is shaped in the political arena. This book examines how one of the most intimate decisions a woman makes, whether to continue or terminate a pregnancy, has become one of the most politicized issues in contemporary American politics".

The Origin of Christology

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Moule, C. F. D., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, This book is about the processes by which Christians of the first century came to understand Jesus as they did. Some writers represent these as 'evolutionary', as though a merely human teacher came to be thought of as a divine figure (a new species, so to speak). Professor Moule suggests that 'development' is a preferable analogy, implying not the evolution of a new species of figure, but the development of understanding of what was there in Jesus from the beginning. The author re-examines four familiar characterizations of Jesus as 'the Son of Man', 'the Son of God', 'Christ' and 'Lord'; then he considers the reflexion in the Pauline epistles of an experience of Jesus as more than individual. In his concluding chapter Professor Moule speculates, in dialogue with Dr Haddon Willmer, about the implications of his findings for Christian doctrine. The book, which earned for the author the Collins Biennial Religious Book Award in , embodies his Moorhouse Lectures in Melbourne, Australia. It was first published in June .

Sony ST-SA5ES AM-FM Tuner

MACCHINA DI RIFERIMENTO DELLA LINEA ESOTERICA SONY. UN GIOIELLO COME POCHI CHE FORNISCE PRESTAZIONI DI RIFERIMENTO, CON UN LIVELLOCOSTRUTTIVO ALLO STATO DELL'ARTE. The Sony ST-SA5ES tuner is extremely sensitive so it is execellent for most FM-DX situations. There are only a handful of FM tuners which can either match or exceed its DX performance. Sony ST-SA5ES tuner has two 75 ohm antenna inputs which can be switched via the front panel, go to the first RF amplifier - a Toshiba 2SK241 FET. The RF front end is tuned by six KV varicap diodes. This arrangement is excellent for image and spurious rejection. The varicap diodes act as a automatic preselector which pass a narrow bandwidth (~ 2MHz) of signals to the first RF amplifier. For this reason the image rejection performance is 100dB. The FM oscillator is built around a Toshiba 2SK161 FET. The FM mixer consists of a Toshiba 3SK122-K dual gate MOSFET. Two IF stages are provided for wide and narrow IF bandwidth. Two 180 KHz Murata filters are used for wide if bandwidth. Two 180 KHz and two 150 KHz Murata filters are used for narrow if bandwidth. The IF amps used in the IF stages are Toshiba uPCHA ICs. A quadrature detector precedes the audio frequency amplifier. COME NUOVA, USATA SOLO PER FARE RECENSIONE DI RIVISTE DI SETTORE.

An Appeal to Reason: A Cool Look at Global Warming

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lawson, Nigel, PUBLISHER: Gerald Duckworth & Co Ltd, "Clear, analytical and compelling." -"The Economist" In this well-informed and hard-hitting response to the scaremongering of the climate alarmists, Nigel Lawson, former Secretary of State for Energy under Margaret Thatcher, argues that it is time for us to take a cool look at global warming. Lawson carefully and succinctly examines all aspects of the global warming issue: the science, the economics, the politics, and the ethics. He concludes that the conventional wisdom on the subject is suspect on a number of grounds, that global warming is not the devastating threat to the planet it is widely alleged to be, and that the remedy that is currently being proposed, which is in any event politically unattainable, would be worse that the threat it is supposed to avert. Argued with logic, common sense, and even wit, and thoroughly sourced and referenced, Lawson has written a long overdue corrective to the barrage of spin and hype to which the politicians and media have been subjecting the public on this important issue.
