What's Wrong With the World

What's Wrong With the WorldWhat's Wrong With the World

In WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE WORLD author G. K. Chesterton rightly points out that what people see as "wrong with the world" are only the symptoms of a deeper problem. He shows that our governments, be they capitalistic or socialistic, also fail to see the deeper problem. With a keen wit and lively prose, WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE WORLD cuts directly to the true problems that society must deal with and his solutions feel utterly correct.

Transformation of Knowledge Through Classroom Interaction

Transformation of Knowledge Through Classroom InteractionClassrooms provide extremely varied settings in which learning may take place, including teacher-led conversations, small group unguided discussions, individual problem solving or computer supported collaborative learning (CSCL).

 Unity comes from the fact that researchers belong to a common adventure - changing school practices and norms. This adventure is moved by societal ideals of reason and equity. Contexts for learning are not immutable givens. Researchers are interested in implementing certain practices or instilling certain norms

Algebra and Trigonometry,2 edAlgebra and Trigonometry,2 ed

Three components contribute to a theme sustained throughout the Coburn Series: that of laying a firm foundation, building a solid framework, and providing strong connections. Not only does Coburn present a sound problem-solving process to teach students to recognize a problem, organize a procedure, and formulate a solution, the text encourages students to see beyond procedures in an effort to gain a greater understanding of the big ideas behind mathematical concepts.

A Doll's HouseA Doll's House

A Doll's House is a realistic stage drama in three acts. It depicts ordinary life as it is, not as one would like it to be. It is sometimes referred to as a problem play because it centers on social problems and controversial issues. Examples of other problem plays by Ibsen are The Wild Duck, An Enemy of the People, and Ghosts. The play was published in 1879-82 and staged for the first time in Kristiania (or Christiana), Norway. , when realism was just beginning to take root.

The Geometry of Higher-Order Lagrange Spaces: Applications to Mechanics and Physics

The Geometry of Higher-Order Lagrange Spaces: Applications to Mechanics and PhysicsThe Geometry of Higher-Order Lagrange Spaces: Applications to Mechanics and Physics

This monograph is devoted to the problem of the geometrizing of Lagrangians which depend on higher-order accelerations. It presents a construction of the geometry of the total space of the bundle of the accelerations of order k>=1. A geometrical study of the notion of the higher-order Lagrange space is conducted, and the old problem of prolongation of Riemannian spaces to k-osculator manifolds is solved.
