No es necesario preguntarse sobre la utilidad de la tecnolog a en la escuela, tal como no se nos ocurrir a cuestionar la de los libros o las pizarras. Como instrumentos de informaci n y comunicaci n, el ordenador, Internet, las enciclopedias interactivas digitales o la televisi n son tan buenos o malos auxiliares del proceso ense anza-aprendizaje como los tradicionales. Lo esencial es saber c mo se los usa, qui n los usa y con qu fines. Tampoco cabe duda acerca de si debe incluirse o no en el equipo de recursos pedag gicos, pues ya forma parte del mismo desde que forma parte de la vida de las personas.Este libro expone una nueva manera de pensar sobre la inform tica vinculada a la educaci n, a la cual ni salvar ni destruir por s misma, aunque contiene tantas promesascomo riesgos, tantas ventajas como limitaciones. Los autores exploran aqu una serie de controversias actuales en torno del tema (la accesibilidad, la credibilidad, el hipertexto, la lectura cr tica de la Web, la censura, la confidencialidad, la comercializaci n y la comunidad inform tica) con el prop sito de encauzar la reflexi n cr tica hacia las premisas y consecuencias de determinadas pr cticas en los establecimientos educativos de todos los niveles.
The School of the Art Institute of Chicago

The School of the Art Institute of Chicago

Arcadia Publishing Library Editions

In 2016, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) reached its 150th year. What sustains an institution is sometimes extraordinary, sometimes mundane, and often simply a matter of the sheer will of those involved. An unparalleled museum school, SAIC embodies something greater than the individuals who have passed through it, and yet it has also depended upon the unique and special nature of its protagonists its founders who survived the Great Chicago Fire and rebuilt the school, a president who cast the hands and face of Abraham Lincoln, an alumna who was a celebrated illustrator and an activist in the women s suffrage movement, the creators of monumental sculptures throughout the country, and numerous scholars of art history and technique to challenge and shape its form. The school s history is punctuated by marvelous moments of heightened public discourse in art making and scholarship. This book represents a glimpse into the lives of generations of students, staff, and faculty as full participants in an astounding learning environment."
Democracy and Money

Democracy and Money

George C. Bitros; Emmanouil M. L. Economou; Nicholas C. Kyriazis

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2022
nidottu
The authors of this book argue that post-war fiscal and monetary policies in the U.S. are prone to more frequent and more destabilizing domestic and international financial crises. So, in the aftermath of the one that erupted in 2008, they propose that now we are sleepwalking into another, which under the prevailing institutional circumstances could develop into a worldwide financial Armageddon.Thinking ahead of such a calamity, this book presents for the first time a model of democratic governance with privately produced money based on the case of Athens in Classical times, and explains why, if it is conceived as a benchmark for reference and adaptation, it may provide an effective way out from the dreadful predicament that state managed fiat money holds for the stability of Western-type democracies and the international financial system. As the U.S. today, Athens at that time reached the apex of its military, economic, political, cultural, and scientific influence in the world. But Athens triumphed through different approaches to democracy and fundamentally different fiscal and monetary policies than the U.S. Thus the readers will have the opportunity to learn about these differences and appreciate the potential they offer for confronting the challenges contemporary democracies face under the leadership of the U.S.The book will find audiences among academics, university students, and researchers across a wide range of fields and subfields, as well as legislators, fiscal and monetary policy makers, and economic and financial consultants.

Triassic Life on Land

Triassic Life on Land

Columbia University Press

The Triassic period is generally viewed as the beginning of the Age of Dinosaurs. For paleontologists, however, it also marks the rise of the world's first modern land ecosystems. Over the past three decades, extensive, worldwide fieldwork has led to the discovery of many new species of Triassic animals and plants, suggesting that faunal and floral changes already began in the Middle Triassic and were more protracted than previously thought. The Late Triassic is a pivotal time in the evolution of life on land, with many of the major groups of present-day vertebrates and insects first appearing in the fossil record. This book provides the first detailed overview of life on land during the Triassic period for advanced students and researchers. Noted vertebrate paleontologists Hans-Dieter Sues and Nicholas C. Fraser also review the biotic changes of this period and their possible causes.

An essential element of radio technology and propagation is how to use radio technology and knowledge of radio propagation to design a network that meets the needs of customers. Mobile Radio Network Design in the VHF and UHF Bands provides the technical and fundamental knowledge required for advanced mobile radio network design to achieve this in terms that the engineer will understand, and augments this with essential information gleaned from the authors' extensive experience in mobile radio network design. In this book you will find out how some of the most highly-regarded radio network designers around go about designing radio networks that actually meet the needs of the network subscriber and of the network operator. It describes a well-proven framework that meets the essential need of ensuring that each step of the design project is carried out against known, unique and unambiguous requirements, and that these requirements have been extensively validated against the original requirements. Reveals the secrets behind coverage design, capacity planning, interference analysis and reduction, frequency assignment and verifying that the delivered network actually performs as promisedIntroduces the concept of documentary deliverables as part of the project and underlines the need for method statements, user requirement, functional, test and design specificationsProvides readers with a far greater understanding of the methods and processes necessary to bring about the successful completion of a radio network projectHighlights vital aspects of radio network projects that are not always apparent to every engineer, but which may have a vital impact on the success of the project The powerful approach used in this book will help to ensure the successful completion of every project and will be the basis for ensuring contractual compliance at every stage. It is an indispensable resource for all radio network design consultants and engineers, network operator technical managers, radio regulation engineers and military radio network planners.

This work offers a state-of-the art survey of information systems research on electronic customer relationship management (eCRM). It provides important new frameworks derived from current cases and applications in this emerging field. Each chapter takes a collaborative approach to eCRM that goes beyond the analytical and operational perspectives most often taken by researchers in the field. Chapters also stress integration with other enterprise information systems. The book is organized in four parts: Part I presents an overview of the role of CRM and eCRM in marketing and supply chain management; Part II focuses on the organizational success factors behind eCRM implementation; Part III presents cases of eCRM performance enhancement; and Part IV addresses eCRM issues in business-to-consumer commerce.
