The crisis around teaching and learning of mathematics and its use in everyday life and work relate to a number of issues. These include: The doubtful transferability of school maths to real life contexts, the declining participation in A level and higher education maths courses, the apparent exclusion of some groups, such as women and the aversion of many people to maths. This book addresses these issues by considering a number of key problems in maths education and numeracy:*differences among social groups, especially those related to gender and social class*the inseparability of cognition and emotion in mathematical activity*the understanding of maths anxiety in traditional psychological, psychoanalytical and feminist theories*how adults' numerate thinking and performance must be understood in context.The author's findings have practical applications in education and training, such as clarifying problems of the transfer of learning, and of countering maths anxiety.

The days of predictability and stability in organizations are gone. In today's world of rapid change, agility is a defining characteristic of successful, high-performance companies. In this environment, say Jeff Evans and Chuck Schaefer, it is essential that the ability of an organization to work at change be institutionalized. In Ten Tasks of Change, the authors offer a whole-systems approach to change at work and present you with a model for dealing with rapid and intentional change in the twenty-first-century organization. Bridging the gap between theory and practice, Evans and Schaefer give you a logical framework for:* Thinking through the objectives of the work of change* Planning the activities to achieve those objectives* Using a selection of best-practices principles to accomplish them . . . and much more!

In February 1957, rock'n'roll thundered onto British television screens when the BBC introduced a new programme for teenagers titled Six-Five Special. As the 70th anniversary of that influential programme approaches, Rock & Pop on British TV tells the whole story of music on television from those primitive black and white days to the digital colour of today.Featuring hundreds of programmes, detailed original research and personal interviews with key figures from across the decades, this greatly expanded, fully updated second edition, released ten years after the first edition, includes a wealth of recently uncovered information about programmes old and new.In more than 400 pages of lively text, the book relives the excitement of each era, as teenagers eagerly anticipated a glimpse of their musical heroes on the small screen. Remember the Beatles on Sunday Night at the London Palladium? Jimi Hendrix on the Lulu show? David Bowie performing 'Starman' on Top of the Pops? The Sex Pistols on Today? Frankie Goes to Hollywood on The Tube? The Stone Roses on The Late Show? Adele on The Brit Awards? This book does, plus hundreds of other memorable moments. Performance shows, documentaries, concerts, festivals, dramas, comedies, quizzes, talent shows and children's programmes all feature in this comprehensive, compelling history.

Andalas International Nursing Conference (AINiC) is a dedicated conference aimed at researchers in nursing, public health and other health sciences topics. The 1st AINiC 2017 was held in Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia, from 25-27 September 2017. The conference theme was "Strengthening Research Capacity and Disseminating New Findings in Nursing and Public Health". This event was successful in bringing together experts, researchers, healthcare professionals, and students worldwide. It was an inspiring occasion for most of the participants and was a great opportunity for research development learning, especially with regard to disseminating new findings in nursing and to stimulate networking of nursing professionals, researchers and educators. The research topics that were presented during the conference have clearly indicated the need for literature development and guidance of clinical practice decisions. We hope this conference has provided ample opportunities for participants to gain a more in-depth understanding of knowledge and renewed perspectives. All these aspects have been acknowledged by the participants during the conference. The 1st AINiC was a rewarding event and we look forward to your attendance and participation in the next AINiC conference that will also provide stimulating research developments, networking and cooperation.

There has never been a better time to drink quality beer. The number and variety of excellent beers in general circulation has never been greater, both in the pub (where guest ales and beer festivals are regular features) and in the supermarket. More people than ever are searching for an understanding of what makes a great beer, and this book meets that demand by presenting a crash course in beer appreciation, with short cuts to an understanding of the beer styles of the world, beer flavours, how beer is made, the ingredients, breweries and museums to visit, and more. So you want...is the ideal book, for anyone, from beginners to the more experienced, who wants to further their knowledge and enjoyment of beer. The novelty of this book - and its key point of difference with other beer titles - is that it doesn't just relate the facts but helps readers reach conclusions for themselves. A key element is formed by the interactive tastings that show readers, through their own taste-buds, what beer is all about.The book covers all the basics of beer knowledge (and more) but then points readers in the right direction for a greater understanding - towards places to visit, people to talk to and in-depth books to read.

Läs direkt efter köp

This is the biography of the mighty ceremonial war canoe Ngatokimatawhaorua that rests on the Treaty Grounds at Waitangi.The inspiration for its construction came from Te Puea Herangi. In the late 1930s the Waikato leader held a dream to build seven waka taua for the 1940 centennial commemorations at Waitangi. By 1937 two waka had been commissioned. Carved in Northland under the guidance of Pita Heperi (Te Tai Tokerau) and Piri Poutapu (Waikato), Ngatokimatawhaorua was one of them. But it was to be many decades before the true power of the waka to inspire a people was realised. In 1974 Ngatokimatawhaorua was refurbished by the late Sir Heke-nuku-mai-nga-iwi ‘ Hec'' Busby for relaunching during Waitangi Day ceremonies. It was then that Te Puea'' s dream turned into reality. By 1990, The Year of the Waka, 22 canoes and their 2000 crew gathered at Waitangi.Ngatokimatawhaorua and others became symbols of Maori unity and pride and an important part of the renaissance of the traditions of carving and voyaging around Aotearoa and beyond.

This book is about an adventure that God put upon my heart and put me on years ago. Years ago, I was diagnosed with a malignant melanoma, and three months after that, my wife was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin''s lymphoma. At that time, we had five children from the ages of two to ten. It was a life-changing and spiritual change for both of us. Also, this spring, I was given a sabbatical. A buddy and I drove across the country on our motorcycles. This book is about my adventure with God through cancer and what I believe was my and my wife''s ultimate healing, and it is also about my adventure and experience going across the country on my motorcycle. Each chapter will include/parallel my experience and adventure in a certain area with God and my adventure on the bike. My prayer and hope is that this will lead the reader to begin and/or continue on their own adventure with God. As God spoke to me, "There is so much more to Me than what you have learned and experienced. Just be open," I hope He will also speak to you. Let us go deeper and closer in our walk with Jesus.
