  • - A Reader
    av Joshua Diem
    2 099,-

    "The essays in The Social and Cultural Foundations of Education: A Reader initiate conversations on fundamental cultural and social topics that are also integral issues in education today. Each selection was chosen because it offers a unique perspective that encourages readers to think about familiar subject matter in new ways. The topics addressed are as diverse as the authors. They include the role that race and racism still play in society, how the climate crisis is being dealt with, the fluid nature of gender and sexuality, and how popular culture offers profoundly important representations into who and what we are as a culture today. Designed to shine a light on present-day dilemmas, The Social and Cultural Foundations of Education: A Reader presents work that may well join the lineage of seminal writing in the discipline. The anthology was designed as a companion text for undergraduate courses in educational foundations, and is also an excellent supplemental reader for classes in social and cultural anthropology and sociology. Joshua Diem earned his Ph.D. at the University of North Carolina. Dr. Diem is now an associate clinical professor at the University of Miami where he teaches courses on the social and cultural foundations of education, education and race, education and pop culture, education policy, and qualitative research methods. Currently, his research focuses on domestic violence, specifically on men who batter. Dr. Diem hopes to add to the literature reconceptualizing health and sex education in public schools as well as to the voices calling for frank discussions of dating violence and gender inequality."

From its very first chapter, General Chemistry raises readers' awareness of how chemistry permeates every aspect of daily life, from the attraction between two people to the role of kinetics in traffic. The book moves the study of chemistry past the purely scientific and abstract, making it fresh, relevant, and relatable. The material includes Dalton's Theory of Atomic Matter and explorations of chemical reactions stoichiometry, and thermochemistry. Students will also learn about gases, quantum mechanics, electron spin, valence electrons, and the principles of molecular orbital theory. General Chemistry motivates students to embrace chemistry by teaching them the many chemical reactions carried out in their own bodies. It shows links between physics and biology that explain the many processes of life. The book is suitable for introductory chemistry courses for both science majors and non-majors. Narayan Hosmane has been teaching general chemistry for decades, beginning at Virginia Tech (1979-1982) and followed by Southern Methodist University (1982-1998). He has taught at Northern Illinois University since 1998 and currently teaches chemistry as it relates to daily life events. He is the Distinguished Research Professor and the Inaugural Board of Trustees Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Northern Illinois University. After earning his Ph.D. from Edinburgh University, Dr. Hosmane was a postdoctoral fellow at Queen's University in Belfast, Northern Ireland. His research interests include the synthetic and structural chemistry of polyhedron boron cage biomolecules. He is the recipient of numerous research grants, including funding from the National Science Foundation and the Petroleum Research Fund. Dr. Hosmane is a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemists and the American Institute of Chemists. He was recently selected to receive a 2015 Distinguished Faculty Award by Northern Illinois University for his service, and the first to receive the award while still active in research, teaching, and service to the university."
