Literature and science are two disciplines are two disciplines often thought to be unrelated, if not actually antagonistic. But Robert J. Scholnick points out that these areas of learning, up through the beginning of the nineteenth century, ""were understood as parts of a unitary endeavor."" By mid-century they had diverged, but literature and science have continued to interact, conflict, and illuminate each other. In this innovative work, twelve leaders in this emerging interdisciplinary field explore the long engagement of American writers with science and uncover science's conflicting meani

Veel van de verschillen in de ontwikkeling en leerprestaties van kinderen hebben te maken met de leerlingen zelf: hun leven thuis, hun al opgedane kennis, hun motivatie. Het goede nieuws is dat er heel wat is dat scholen en leraren kunnen doen om de ontwikkeling en de prestaties van hun leerlingen te verbeteren; als ze de richting volgen die in dit boek wordt aangegeven.Vanuit de resultaten van 35 jaar onderwijsresearch beschrijft auteur Robert J. Marzano de factoren die de leerresultaten van leerlingen positief beïnvloeden. Door gebruik te maken van de manieren om de school in kaart te brengen en van de actiestappen die in het boek zijn opgenomen kan men aan de slag: de sterke en zwakke kanten van een school identificeren, prioriteit geven aan bepaalde onderwijsverbeteringen en een helder verbeteringplan maken en uitvoeren. In elk hoofdstuk wordt een research-based antwoord gegeven op vragen als: -welke didactische methodieken werken echt? -Waarom is het verzamelen van gegevens zo'n belangrijke component van schoolontwikkeling? -Hoe belangrijk zijn collegialiteit en professionaliteit? -Ontdek hoe iedere school op een hoger resultaatniveau kan functioneren

Standardised tests are measures of memory & analytical skills; but the ever-changing global society beyond a college campus needs more than just those qualities, argues Robert Sternberg. The leaders & citizens of tomorrow also need creativity, practicality & wisdom.

This volume describes and critically analyzes piracy and smuggling in the Greater China Seas region from the 16th century to the present. It takes a radical departure from the standard terra-centred histories by placing the seas at the centre rather than at the margins of our inquiries.

This research collection provides a comprehensive study of important strategic, cultural, ethical and philosophical aspects of modern warfare. It offers a refreshing analysis of key issues in modern warfare, not only in terms of the conduct of war and the wider complexities and ramifications of modern conflict, but also concepts of war, the crucial shifts in the structure of warfare, and the morality and legality of the use of force in a post-9/11 age. The collection focuses on strategies of war, conduct and control, before progressing to studies of the evolving nature of warfare, its privatization, new electronic methods and the financing of war. The reality and impact of warfare is analyzed through notions of legality, ethics and morality while the final section addresses the way we understand warfare, focusing on media representations, imagery and memory to explain why confrontation, conflict and combat have been and are likely to remain a pivotal part of human society and a deciding factor in international affairs.
