2314. Humanity has failed to colonize space. After expanding horizontally for centuries, all of Earth is covered in one giant city. The only way left to go was up, so they built towards the sky. Then, one hundred years ago, a meteor hit Earth, annihilating a region formerly known as Europe. The death toll was staggering, but that was not all. That was when the changing began and the first Evos appeared. With limited space for humans to live, Earth's government instated a law to keep the population healthy and strong. The Natural Selection. Anyone found to have a hereditary mutation will be sterilized - including their children.Mark is a Jumper, one of the few daring to take the Tubes going up and down the city. When he receives a note from his long dead father, and government agents appear on his door the next day, he is thrown into a journey that questions the very understanding of his life and the world he lives in...
Student Attitudes, Student Anxieties, and How to Address Them
Helge Kastrup; Jeffry V. Mallow
MORGAN CLAYPOOL PUBLISHERS

sidottu
This book is based on a commitment to teaching science to everybody. What may work for training professional scientists does not work for general science education. Students bring to the classrooms preconceived attitudes, as well as the emotional baggage called ""science anxiety."" Students may regard science as cold, unfriendly, and even inherently hostile and biased against women. This book has been designed to deal with each of these issues and results from research in both Denmark and the United States. The first chapter discusses student attitudes towards science and the second discusses science anxiety. The connection between the two is discussed before the introduction of constructivism as a pedagogy that can aid science learning if it also addresses attitudes and anxieties. Much of the book elucidates what the authors have learned as science teachers and science education researchers. They studied various groups including university students majoring in the sciences, mathematics, humanities, social sciences, business, nursing, and education; high school students; teachers' seminary students; science teachers at all levels from middle school through college; and science administrators. The insights of these groups constitute the most important feature of the book, and by sharing them, the authors hope to help their fellow science teachers to understand student attitudes about science, to recognize the connections between these and science anxiety, and to see how a pedagogy that takes these into account can improve science learning.
A moving story for any child who has felt lonely, worried, or anxious and found solace in friendship with a beloved pet. Summer is here and Tyra spends many happy days lying in the warm grass with her new cat, Vivaldi. What could be better than staring up into the blue sky with a purring kitten on your tummy? But soon it's September, and while getting her backpack ready for the first day of school, Tyra feels everything she is going back to and a hard painful lump forms in her throat. School is a place of no words for Tyra, a place where the girls stare at her and stop talking when she walks by, a place where she feels completely alone. Only music can put an end to this feeling, music and her cat. Maybe, just maybe, things will be different this year now that it's not Tyra alone anymore, but Tyra and her cat. Vivaldi is a book for anyone who's ever felt alone, anyone who's ever worried or been anxious, and anyone who knows what a difference one friend can make.

Between The Earth And The Heavens: Historical Studies In The Physical Sciences
Helge Kragh
World Scientific Europe Ltd
2021
sidottu
Consisting of separate cases organized by chapter and divided into independent sections, this is no ordinary history of science book. Between the Earth and the Heavens is an episodic history of modern physical sciences covering the chronological development of physics, chemistry and astronomy since about 1860. Integrating historical authenticity and modern scientific knowledge, the cases within deal with the often surprising connections between science done in the laboratory (physics, chemistry) and science based on observation (astronomy, cosmology).Between the Earth and the Heavens presupposes an interest in and a certain knowledge of the physical sciences, but it is written for non-specialists and includes only a limited number of equations which are all clearly explained in simple terms. For readers who wish to delve further, the book is fully documented and ends with a bibliography of cited quotations and other relevant sources.

Explores how much and what the World Bank and the United Nations can really be expected to achieve. The text begins with a detailed account of the evolution of the two organizations as multilateral development institutions and then focuses on the functions that the World Bank and the UN carry out, and the governing structures that underlie their activities. The authors then go on to question what need there is for these two multilateral institutions in the next century and which tasks they can undertake in promoting world development. Both the United Nations (UN) and the World Bank have repeatedly proclaimed their solemn ambitions to improve the lot of humankind. Dinosaurs or Dynamos? explores how much, and what, they can really be expected to do. Both have extended their functions far beyond their original mandates, while their decision-making structures have remained basically unaltered despite recent adaptations on the part of the World Bank. Such expansions have created serious strains on both organizations. The UN has ambitions to perform tasks, such as the search for 'good governance' and 'sustainable development', for which it is ill equipped. The World Bank has taken on normative functions - 'the premier development institution' - that are incompatible with its traditional structures. The authors ask, what need is there for these two multilateral development institutions in the next century? Which tasks in promoting world development can they undertake that others cannot? To whom are these institutions politically accountable, who sets their agendas and are they credible given financial constraints? Dinosaurs or Dynamos? is an essential guide for those working within the international community, non-governmental organizations, governments and students of development, economics, politics and international relations.
Matter And Spirit In The Universe: Scientific And Religious Preludes To Modern Cosmology

Cosmology is an unusual science with an unusual history. This book examines the formative years of modern cosmology from the perspective of its interaction with religious thought. As the first study of its kind, it reveals how closely associated the development of cosmology has been with considerations of a philosophical and religious nature. From nineteenth-century thermodynamics to the pioneering cosmological works of Georges Lemaître and Arthur E Milne, religion has shaped parts of modern cosmological theory. By taking the religious component seriously, a new and richer history of cosmology emerges.

Mœurs de province

Personne ne sait pourquoi Gustave Flaubert a rajouté de sa main, sur la première page du manuscrit définitif de Madame Bovary, celui du copiste, le sous-titre Mœurs de Province. A quelques rares exceptions près, la recherche flaubertienne ne s’est guère penchée sur la question, et depuis la mort du romancier normand, la plupart des éditeurs du roman a tout simplement supprimé le sous-titre, pourtant si significatif notamment pour une compréhension approfondie des intentions critiques de Flaubert vis-à-vis de la société bourgeoise de son époque. Pour l’auteur de cet essai, le premier de longue haleine à étudier le sens et la signification du sous-titre, les mœurs provinciales visées par l’écrivain dans son premier roman publié sont avant tout des mœurs langagières. La langue et les langages sont au centre de ce livre, où le personnage le plus troublant, la protagoniste Emma Bovary, est clairement victime de ces mœurs langagières bien que, à certains moments, elle arrive à sortir de leur contrainte et paraître une voix à part entière, tels les personnages romanesques polyphoniques de Dostoïevski vus par Bakhtine.
Offene und kooperative Vorgänge von Gestaltung gelten zurecht als ein Garant für zukunftsfähige Erzeugnisse und Dienstleistungen. Welchen Beitrag leisten dabei Designer und Designerinnen? Helge Oders Studie thematisiert die Akteure solch offener, kooperativer Prozesse, indem sie ihr sinnlich-ästhetisches Vermögen in den Blick nimmt. Sie versöhnt die lange als unvereinbar geltenden Pole der diversen disziplinären Kompetenzen des Entwerfens und des ganzheitlich-konzeptionellen Zugangs für die Gestaltung zukunftsfähiger kultureller Kontexte. Und sie beantwortet die zentrale Frage: Was sind angesichts überbordender Komplexität die Gegenstände, denen unser Erkenntnisbemühen gelten muss? aus dem Möglichkeitsraum des Sinnlich-Ästhetischen heraus – mit seinen "dunklen Phasen" und "entwerferischen Dingen".
