Learning and Learning Difficulties: A Handbook for Teachers
This outstanding new teacher resource from bestselling author Peter Westwood explores a variety of learning processes, theories and concepts in order to help educators better understand and distinguish between the causes and outcomes of student learning problems.
Westwood aims to show that problems in learning are not all due to weaknesses within students or their lack of motivation. Many learning difficulties are created or exacerbated by environmental, not personal, influences. Factors that have an impact on a student’s learning environment can be readily modified or improved, whereas weaknesses or ‘deficits’ within students are not so easily changed.

Boundary Value Problems, Fifth Edition: and Partial Differential Equations
Boundary Value Problems is the leading text on boundary value problems and Fourier series. The author, David Powers, (Clarkson) has written a thorough, theoretical overview of solving boundary value problems involving partial differential equations by the methods of separation of variables. Professors and students agree that the author is a master at creating linear problems that adroitly illustrate the techniques of separation of variables used to solve science and engineering.
Fleshmarket CloseAn illegal immigrant is found murdered in an Edinburgh housing scheme: a racist attack, or something else entirely?
