Bear and Rabbit are the very best of friends. They live in their Bear-Rabbit house and cook their Bear-Rabbit meals in their Bear-Rabbit kitchen. But one day they spy a wonderful shiny thing and they can't agree who it belongs to. Could this be the end of a very special friendship?
Bear, Squirrel and Hedgehog have been out picking sweet berries all day long and now it's time to go home. They set off, back through the woods, but the sun is going down, and Bear is afraid of the dark.
Key Issues in e-Learning

This title enables readers to understand the key issues underpinning e-learning with a view to enabling them to use it effectively in their professional practice. This book offers education practitioners with little or no pedagogical grounding in the field of e-learning insights that will enable them to improve their professional practices in relation to the conceptualisation, design, implementation, assessment and evaluation of approaches to e-learning. The authors pay attention to the perspectives of both teachers and learners when exploring key questions including: How does technology affects pedagogy? How can technology best support learning? "Key Issues in e-Learning" avoids simplistic conceptualisations of online teaching and learning. Instead, this text draws on a wide range empirical, conceptual and theoretical evidence, and outlines practical approaches to improving practice and research.

Key Issues in Mobile Learning

Mobile learning is an emerging, and rapidly expanding field of educational research and practice across schools, colleges and universities as well as in the work place and in the community. It is starting to attract the interest and imagination of practitioners in all phases of education as well as of researchers and a number of national and international annual conferences have been established to share growing insights into attendant theories and practices. Key Issues in Mobile Learning offers a topography of the current debates and issues surrounding mobile learning and structures them in such a way as to provide an overview for practitioners, researchers, students and policy makers of the pertinent issues in mobile learning as well as a jump-off point for further work or practice in the field.
"Berlin Fresco" is the first volume in English by the German poet, translator, editor, and publisher, Norbert Hummelt. Born in the Rhineland in 1962, he has been a freelance writer since 1991, and editor of the literary-critical journal "Text+Kritik". He has taught at the Deutsche Literaturinstitut (German Literature Institute) in Leipzig and at the Universitat der Kunste (University of the Arts) in Berlin. He has translated the poetry of W.B. Yeats, Wordsworth and Inger Christensen, as well as Eliot's "Four Quartets" and "The Waste Land".
Early one morning, a funny noise wakes up Duck. It sounds like pshhh-pshh, and it comes from right under her bed. Duck is not quite sure what it is, and she is much too afraid to look...
"Duck! There's a monster under your bed! It goes, pshh pshh, grrr, bang bang, pam pam, grrrrowl! Oooooooeee!" Whatever could the monster be? Bravely the animals set off to find out... The CD contains witty narration plus original music and sound effects, and page-turning prompts for learner readers to join in!
'Duck!' Pig yelled. 'There's a monster under your bed! It goes, pshh pshh, grrr, bang bang, pam pam, growl!' 'And oooooooeeeeeeeeeee!' Owl added. Whatever could the monster be? Bravely the animals set off to find out...
Big Bear eats SO noisily! Slurp! Burp! Crunch! Munch! Yum! The rabbits who live nearby are frightened. What are those terrible sounds? It must be a SCARY beast! But Big Bear isn't a beast - he's a kind, gentle bear, and all he really wants is a friend...

Language and Literacy Teaching for Indigenous Education: A Bilingual Approach presents a proposal for the inclusion of indigenous languages in the classroom. Based on extensive research and field work by the authors in communities in the United States and Mexico, the book explores ways in which the cultural and linguistic resources of indigenous communities can enrich the language and literacy program.
Joint Source-channel Coding Of Discrete-time Signals With Continuous Amplitudes

Imperial College Press
2007
sidottu
This book provides the first comprehensive and easy-to-read discussion of joint source-channel encoding and decoding for source signals with continuous amplitudes. It is a state-of-the-art presentation of this exciting, thriving field of research, making pioneering contributions to the new concept of source-adaptive modulation.The book starts with the basic theory and the motivation for a joint realization of source and channel coding. Specialized chapters deal with practically relevant scenarios such as iterative source-channel decoding and its optimization for a given encoder, and also improved encoder designs by channel-adaptive quantization or source-adaptive modulation.Although Information Theory is not the main topic of the book — in fact, the concept of joint source-channel coding is contradictory to the classical system design motivated by a questionable practical interpretation of the separation theorem — this theory still provides the ultimate performance limits for any practical system, whether it uses joint source-channel coding or not. Therefore, the theoretical limits are presented in a self-contained appendix, which is a useful reference also for those not directly interested in the main topic of this book.
As a boy travelling to school by tram, Norbert Glas often passed the time by studying his fellow passengers' faces. He would muse on what the shapes and contours of their noses, eyes and mouths signified. Later in life, having become a medical doctor and a student of Rudolf Steiner's spiritual-scientific world view, Glas gained numerous insights into the mysteries of human physiognomy. In this, the first translation into English of his seminal work, Glas begins by defining the three parts of the human face and explaining the importance of their relative proportions. A person with a face that is more pronounced in one of these areas will tend to have certain personality traits, as well as specific physiological characteristics. People with a strong mouth and chin, for example, tend to have a strong will and an active, driven and assertive nature. With the help of numerous photos and drawings, Glas presents the physiognomy of three basic types of people, and further analyses the specifics of the human head, forehead, ears, eyes, mouth and nose. This book will be valuable to doctors, teachers, or anyone wishing to better understand - and hence tolerate and love - their fellow human beings.
The writings in this volume previously unpublished in English include the essay 'On Seeing in Nature', his doctoral dissertation 'Idea and Individual', a response to Karl Mannheim's famous paper on cultural competition, and a number of short stories contributed to a newspaper. Other essays collected together here concern primitive art, the sociology of German anti-Semitism, kitsch style and the age of kitsch, and the expulsion of the Huguenots from France. This edition includes as an appendix a draft outline of Elias' Habilitation thesis begun under Alfred Weber. "Early Writings" have been translated from the German edition, Fruschriften, published by Suhrkamp Verlag, Frankfurt/Main as volume 1 of the Norbert Elias Gesammelte Schriften, 2002.
This classic study of the life of the nobility at the royal court of France, especially under Louis XIV, has long been out of print. Recognised by historians as the benchmark for studies of early modern courts, which were an important but long neglected phase in the growth of the 'civilising' constraints imposed on people in increasingly complex networks of interdependence. Elias shows how courtiers - and finally even the king himself - were entrapped in a web of etiquette and ceremonial, how their expenses, even down to details of their houses and households, were dictated by their rank rather than their income. Includes appendix on the parallels between factional competition at the royal court and within Hitler's regime. Originally published in German in 1969 as Die hofische Gesellschaft.
