This book reports on an innovative study into the first five years of mathematics teaching: FIRSTMATH. For the first time, the study has developed a viable methodology to analyze the knowledge, skills, and dispositions of beginning mathematics teachers as well as instruments to explore the contexts where they work. The book provides a step by step account of this exploratory (proof-of-concept) research study, using a comparative and international approach, and introduces readers to the challenges entailed.The FIRSTMATH study promises the development of methods and strategies to make it possible for teacher educators and future teachers to examine (and improve on) their own practices in an important STEM area.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a serious mental health condition that each year disrupts several thousand lives. What can be done to help its victims to better cope with, manage or even overcome it? Regardless of what conventional medicine has accomplished and understood so far by means of clinical studies, this essay, through its holistic approach takes into account several methodologies - including herbalism, homeopathy, hypnosis, relaxation and meditation techniques along with many others - that can be used either as stand-alone or as complementary therapies to help the victims find different ways to approach this disorder, have a better and healthier lifestyle and, hopefully, work towards a full recovery and, whenever possible, even prevention.

A prescindere da quanto la medicina tradizionale (occidentale) sia riuscita a fare o quanto abbia compreso fino ad ora attraverso gli studi clinici, questo opuscolo, per mezzo del suo approccio olistico, prende in considerazione varie metodologie - tra cui erbalismo, omeopatia, ipnosi, tecniche di rilassamento e meditazione insieme a molte altre - che possono essere usate come terapie sia a se stanti sia complementari per aiutare le vittime a trovare modi diversi di affrontare questo disordine, avere uno stile di vita migliore e pi sano nella speranza di avanzare verso una completa guarigione e, quando possibile, persino prevenzione.
