Current Issues and Trends in Educationsynthesizes political, theoretical, social, and practical topics in a 21st Century context and promotes multicultural education, technology, and gender issues. This text is accessible enough to be used in an introductory education class and yet sophisticated enough to serve as a graduate textbook. It is comprehensive in dealing with issues facing educators today, such as demographics, changing perceptions and research of human development and learning, and education in nontraditional settings. Its four parts cover (1) "Political, Economic, and Historical Issues and Trends," (2) "Evolving Notions of Human Development and Learning," (3) "Changing Views of Instruction," and (4) "Issues in Accommodating Differences."

Target Market: for principles of economics, surveys of economics, international economics, international trade, or managerial economics. No prior economics is assumed, but the material can be taught at all levels. Written as a novel, the book makes the complex concepts, issues and terminology of international trade understandable for students. Professors complain that their students cannot grasp the nature of how some economic tools are used or how they work in life. This novel bridges the gap of concepts with applications by use of a fictional story. David Ricardo comes to life to discuss international trade theory and policy with Ed Johnson, a fictional American television manufacturer seeking trade protection from television manufacturers. Their dialogue is a sophisticated, rigorous discussion of virtually every major issue in trade theory and policy. To illustrate the positive and normative effects of international trade and trade policy, Ricardo takes the reader and Ed Johnson into the future to see an America of free trade and an America of complete self-sufficiency. The fictional element brings these topics to life so that students gain the intuition and understanding of how trade changes the lives of people and the industries they work in. The fundamental intuition of how international markets function including general equilibrium effects and policy analysis is provided.

This exciting new book integrates the explicit teaching practices that have proven effective for students with disabilities with the NCTM math standards that dominant current mathematics practices in the United States. In Part 1 of the book, teachers learn the fundamentals of mathematics assessment and instructional design for conceptual, declarative knowledge, procedural, and problem-solving lessons. In Part 2, the detailed scope and sequence charts, along with instructional guidelines keyed to the objectives, provide teachers with specific guidelines for assessment and design.

This hands-on workbook provides and easy and enjoyable means of learning and reviewing the fundamentals of human neuroanatomy through the acclaimed directed-coloring method. Because the text deals with only key concepts and progresses in small, logical, easy-to-learn increments, it is ideal for the nonexpert-students, professionals and lay people alike. There are other introductions to human brain anatomy, but this is a book with a difference. A Colorful Introduction to the Anatomy of the Human Brain: A Brain and Psychology Coloring Book was written by John Pinel and illustrated by Maggie Edwards, a team renowned for their ability to engage and fascinate the reader with their simple, cutting edge portrayals of the body's most complex organ and its psychological functions.

Taking a strong developmental focus, this book ensures that teachers understand the close relationship between observing, understanding what has been observed, and improving the educational curriculum and environment.

The years since the second edition of Reconstructing Quaternary Environments have seen an exponential increase in the volume of literature written on the Quaternary. New methods and technological advances have given rise to a number of multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary research groups able to offer startling insights in to short- and long- term climatic changes. This third edition has been revised and updated to address these developments and to freshly examine the various forms of evidence that can be used to establish the history and scale of environmental changes during the Quaternary. Building on the format previously established it reviews the geomorphological, lithological and biological evidence that compromises the Quaternary record, describes and evaluates dating methods and considers how these elements can be bought together in a robust stratigraphic framework. A new final chapter demonstrates how results using these different methods and approaches can by synergised to provide an overview of global environmental change. Compelling new evidence from the integration of polar ice and marine isotopes records allow the authors to examine a series of themes relating to climate change at a number of spatial scales and over a series of time intervals that become progressively shorter towards the present day. Clearly Illustrated to demonstrate key concepts and with progressive learning techniques employed throughout this new edition will be of interest to undergraduate students and professionals of Earth Science, Environmental Science, Physical Geography, Geology, Botany, Zoology, Ecology, Archaeology and Anthropology.

Written for advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level courses in Single Case or Single Subject Research Designs, and Research Methods in Educational and Community Settings. A practical nuts-and-bolts how-to guide to carrying out single case research designs, this new textbook is focused squarely on single case research in educational and community settings, emphasizing practice versus theory.The authors have put together a unique guidebook for courses in single case and single subject research for educational and community settings, and conceptualizes the background underlying this research approach, walking readers through a step-by-step approach to the components involved in doing such research. The text covers single case designs with a brief historical background on the development of these design approaches; some of the basic logistical barriers to and solutions for carrying out research in applied settings; and nuts-and-bolts procedures of carrying out such research with regard to designing and implementing measurements systems, choosing appropriate designs, and graphing and analyzing data. In addition, the text covers the basics of disseminating research via various professional outlets such as conference presentations and journals for researchers and practitioners. The tables and graphics included list step-by-step procedures for carrying out various data collection and research design strategies, offering concise summaries of some key features of the main procedural elements of single case research, and a guideline to crucial features and concepts. Written for a broad range of educational and other human services professionals, including teachers (general and special education), school psychologists and counselors, social workers, communication disorders specialists, and recreation, occupational, and physical therapists, this new "how-to" textbook fills a gap in the market for a single case, single subject research design guide focused on research in educational and community settings, with a strong emphasis on practice versus theory.
