Field Arithmetic explores Diophantine fields through their absolute Galois groups. This largely self-contained treatment starts with techniques from algebraic geometry, number theory, and profinite groups. Graduate students can effectively learn generalizations of finite field ideas. We use Haar measure on the absolute Galois group to replace counting arguments. New Chebotarev density variants interpret diophantine properties. Here we have the only complete treatment of Galois stratifications, used by Denef and Loeser, et al, to study Chow motives of Diophantine statements.

Talking Teaching: Implementing Reflective Practice in Groups
This work is the product of a three-year grant-supported induction year program. College faculty from an associated group of colleges joined staff developers from a growing suburban district in creating an entire year's curriculum for beginning teachers. If you are looking for a book that provides concrete advice for establishing group reflection, this is the perfect choice.
This book uses the most recently available data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 1999-2004) to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive picture of the diets of Food Stamp Program (FSP) participants in three age groups - children 1-18 years old, adults 19-59 years old, and older adults 60 years and older. The book examines nutrient intakes, diet quality, and food choices.
This book presents a case study of two people learning to teach. It shows them engaging two groups of fourth grade students in discussion about the meaning of texts what the author calls interpretive discussion. The two groups differ with respect to race, geographical location, and affluence.
As the novice teachers learn to clarify their own questions about meaning, they become better listeners and leaders of the discussions.
A tightly argued work, the book will help readers learn to engage students of all ages in text interpretation.
