Brain-Friendly Strategies for the Inclusion Classroom

Judy Willis “Brain-Friendly Strategies for the Inclusion Classroom"
Association for Supervision & Curriculum Development | 2007-05-15 | ISBN: 1416605398 | 227 pages | PDF | 1,7 Mb

Many teachers in regular classrooms feel unprepared to teach students with learning disabilities. Fortunately, brain research has confirmed that strategies benefiting learners with special challenges are suited for engaging and stimulating all learners. In this book, neurologist and classroom teacher Judy Willis explains that we can best help students by putting in place strategies, accommodations, and interventions that provide developmentally and academically appropriate challenges to suit the needs, gifts, and goals of each student. Brain-Friendly Strategies for the Inclusion Classroom will help teachers

- Understand how the brain learns and the technologies that reveal this process.
- Implement strategies that are compatible with students' individual learning styles and honor their multiple intelligences.
- Improve the focus of students with attention disorders and help them gain the confidence and skills they need to develop goal-oriented behaviors.
- Create an enriching learning environment by incorporating student-centered activities, discovery and hands-on learning experiences, cross-curricular learning, and multisensory lessons.
- Implement strategic review, study, and test preparation strategies that will allow students to retain information and connect it with future learning.
- Build safe, supportive classroom communities and raise class awareness and empathy for students with learning disabilities.
It's time for teachers to lower the barriers, not the bar. Using strategies that align with research on how people's brains function, teachers can engage all students as individuals and help them reach their maximum potential with joy and confidence.

A Friendly Guide to Wavelets

This volume is designed as a textbook for an introductory course on wavelet analysis and time-frequency analysis aimed at graduate students or advanced undergraduates in science and engineering. It can also be used as a self-study or reference book by practicing researchers in signal analysis and related areas. Since the expected audience is not presumed to have a high level of mathematical background, much of the needed analytical machinery is developed from the beginning. The only prerequisites for the first eight chapters are matrix theory, Fourier series, and Fourier integral transforms. Each of these chapters ends with a set of straightforward exercises designed to drive home the concepts just covered, and the many graphics should further facilitate absorption.

Rabies, Second Edition (US$130)

Rabies is the most current and comprehensive account of one of the oldest diseases known that remains a significant public health threat despite the efforts of many who have endeavored to control it in wildlife and domestic animals. During the past five years since publication of the first edition there have been new developments in many areas on the rabies landscape. This edition takes on a more global perspective with many new authors offering fresh outlooks on each topic. Clinical features of rabies in humans and animals are discussed as well as basic science aspects, molecular biology, pathology, and pathogenesis of this disease. Current methods used in defining geographic origins and animal species infected in wildlife are presented, along with diagnostic methods for identifying the strain of virus based on its genomic sequence and antigenic structure. This multidisciplinary account is essential for clinicians as well as public health advisors, epidemiologists, wildlife biologists, and research scientists wanting to know more about the virus and the disease it causes.

* Offers a unique global perspective on rabies where dog rabies is responsible for killing more people than yellow fever, dengue fever, or Japanese encephalitis
* More than 7 million people are potentially exposed to the virus annually and about 50,000 people, half of them children, die of rabies each year
* New edition includes greatly expanded coverage of bat rabies which is now the most prominent source of human rabies in the New World and Western Europe, where dog rabies has been controlled
* Recent successes of controlling wildlife rabies with an emphasis on prevention is discussed
* Approximately 40% updated material incorporates recent knowledge on new approaches to therapy of human rabies as well as issues involving organ and tissue transplantation
* Includes an increase in illustrations to more accurately represent this diseases' unique horror

Avoiding Attack: The Evolutionary Ecology of Crypsis, Warning Signals and Mimicry

Graeme D. Ruxton, Thomas N. Sherratt, Michael P. Speed “Avoiding Attack: The Evolutionary Ecology of Crypsis, Warning Signals and Mimicry"
Oxford University Press, USA | 2005-02-03 | ISBN: 0198528604 | 260 pages | PDF | 2,1 Mb

This book discusses the diversity of mechanisms by which prey avoid attack by predators and questions how such defensive mechanisms have evolved through natural selection. It considers how potential prey avoid detection, how they make themselves unprofitable to attack, how they signal their
unprofitability, and how other species have exploited these signals. Using carefully selected examples drawn from a wide range of species and ecosystems, the authors present a critical analysis of the most important published works in the field.
Illustrative examples of camouflage, mimicry and warning signals regularly appear in undergraduate ecology textbooks, but these subjects are rarely considered in depth. This book summarizes some of the latest research into these fascinating adaptations, developing mathematical models where
appropriate and making recommendations for the most urgently needed outstanding areas of enquiry.

The Nature of Leadership: Reptiles, Mammals, and the Challenge of Becoming a Great Leader

B. Joseph White, Yaron Prywes, "The Nature of Leadership: Reptiles, Mammals, and the Challenge of Becoming a Great Leader"
AMACOM | ISBN 081440894X | 2006-10-27 | 192 Pages | PDF | 1 Mb

Some leaders are tough as nails, like a leather-hided reptile. Others are warm, like a fur- covered mammal. But the best leaders exhibit crucial attributes of both -- and emphasize them as particular circumstances dictate.

Those who can achieve this combination have the potential for greatness. Joe White explores these characteristics, with examples of leaders ranging from tough-minded Lou Gerstner at IBM to mammalian leaders like Herb Kelleher of Southwest Airlines and Wendy Kopp, founder of Teach for America. White also describes other prerequisites for truly great leadership, including a passion to develop talented people and the ability to innovate and create change. Those who have combined all these traits include Abraham Lincoln, Jack Welch, Steve Jobs, and Martin Luther King.

Most compelling are the many anecdotes from White’s personal experiences -- great successes and a major disappointment, described with unusual candor.

In the long line of leadership books, this one stands out for its clarity, readability, unique metaphor, and the credentials of its author. Enlightening, encouraging, and written with warmth and humor, it is truly a book for all leaders and for those seeking to understand The Nature of Leadership.

Turbulence in Fluids

Marcel Lesieur “Turbulence in Fluids"
Springer | 2008-01-30 | ISBN: 1402064349 | 566 pages | PDF | 8,8 Mb

This is the 4th edition of a book originally published by Kluwer Academic Publishers. It is an exhaustive monograph on turbulence in fluids in its theoretical and applied aspects, with many advanced developments using mathematical spectral methods (two-point closures like the EDQNM theory), direct-numerical simulations, and large-eddy simulations.

The book is still of great actuality on a topic of the utmost importance for engineering and environmental applications, and presents a very detailed presentation of the field. The fourth edition incorporates new results coming from research work done since 1997. Many of these results come from direct and large-eddy simulations methods, which have provided significant advances in problems such as turbulent mixing or thermal exchanges (with and without gravity effects).

Topics dealt with include: an introduction to turbulence in fluid mechanics; basic fluid dynamics; transition to turbulence; shear-flow turbulence; Fourier analysis for homogeneous turbulence; isotropic turbulence; phenomenology and simulations; analytical theories and stochastic models; two-dimensional turbulence; geostrophic turbulence; absolute-equilibrium ensembles; the statistical predictability theory; large-eddy simulations; and a section that explores developments towards real-world turbulence.
