Book Description

Teaching Science in Elementary and Middle School offers in-depth information about the fundamental features of project-based science and strategies for implementing the approach. In project-based science classrooms students investigate, use technology, develop artifacts, collaborate, and make products to show what they have learned. Paralleling what scientists do, project-based science represents the essence of inquiry and the nature of science. Because project-based science is a method aligned with what is known about how to help all children learn science, it not only helps students learn science more thoroughly and deeply, it also helps them experience the joy of doing science. Project-based science embodies the principles in A Framework for K-12 Science Education and the Next Generation Science Standards. Blending principles of learning and motivation with practical teaching ideas, this text shows how project-based learning is related to ideas in the Framework and provides concrete strategies for meeting its goals. Features include long-term, interdisciplinary, student-centered lessons; scenarios; learning activities, and "Connecting to Framework for K–12 Science Education" textboxes. More concise than previous editions, the Fourth Edition offers a wealth of supplementary material on a new Companion Website, including many videos showing a teacher and class in a project environment.

Book Description

This treatise had its origins in the authors' strong opinion that the discovery of new drugs, especially of innovative therapeutic agents, really does not happen as a spontaneous sequel to investiga tive research, no matter how penetrating such research may be. Rather, it seemed to us that the discovery of innovative therapeutic agents was a very active process, existing in and of itself, and demanding full attention-it was not simply a passive, dependent by-process of investigative research. And yet, many researchers some close confreres of the authors, others more distant-believed otherwise. We felt that their view reflected unrealistic thinking and that reality probably lay closer to what Beyer" maintained: We are taught to believe that if we can understand a disease it should be easy enough to figure out, say, the molecular configuration of a definitive receptor mechanism somewhere along the line and to design a specific drug . . . . And so we start out to understand the disease but never get around to doing much about therapy. The authors very soon realized that there was essentially no quantitive information available on just where and how innovative therapeutic agents were discovered. There were only anecdotal accounts, and these were able to be selected and presented in ways that could be used to defend any point of view.

Book Description

Published originally in France in the 1880s, this extraordinary and frank autobiography of a Victorian gentleman and the story of his addiction is one of the most remarkable books ever penned. My Secret Life is a life time history of the sexual obsessions which haunted an anonymous, wealthy Victorian, but the book is also a unique account of the life and times of the Victorian female working class., giving us an insight into the Victorian class system which controlled the masses during the late 19th century.This new edition has been retitled 'Satyriasis', the medical term which used to be applied to a person who, in our own century would be classed as a sex addict. The author of this extraordinary claims to have had intercourse with thousands of women, principally not of his own class, and provides much detail of these encounters along with the philosophical musings about the nature of human sexuality.This new edition of the work of Walter 'My Secret Life' is published in six volumes and the original text expunged of errors and irregularities in spelling. Each volume will be accompanied by a unique introduction to the text by the renowned Sherlock Holmes and Conan Doyle scholar, Kelvin I. Jones whose work on the eminent Victorian authors has spanned 40 years.
