Mathematics Learning in Early Childhood: Paths Toward Excellence and Equity
Early childhood mathematics is vitally important for young children's present and future educational success. Research has demonstrated that virtually all young children have the capability to learn and become competent in mathematics. Furthermore, young children enjoy their early informal experiences with mathematics. Unfortunately, many children's potential in mathematics is not fully realized, especially those children who are economically disadvantaged.
The medicinal plants of a country or region are its important resource base that contributes immensely to local health traditions. In India, it is unique that the significance of such plants, their health benefits, has always been high -- about three-fourths of the herbal drugs produced in India are used for curing human ailments. But such pants need to be domesticated and conserved a lot more zealously on the basis of awareness, knowledge and concern, and utilised much more intelligently. This volume is a first-of-a-kind effort to throw light on aspects of cultivation, conservation...
This is a comprehensive book which describes the three essential parts of what is known as 'Inertial Confinement Fusion': the way thermonuclear burn takes place in non-magnetized, magnetized and fusion-fission hybrid assemblies; the pulse power ignition technology (nuclear, electrical, optical and chemical); and, the applications of inertial confinement fusion technology for peaceful nuclear energy on Earth and in space. An integrated single text of such extensive technical width is a rare find, and younger generations of nuclear engineers any physicists will appreciate this book...
