Paperback. Condition: New. When Congress passed Title IX of the Civil Rights Act in 1972, they seemed to be doing something laudable and also long overdue-prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex in America's schools. But thirty years later, a law designed to guarantee equal opportunity has become the most explicit, government-enforced quota regime in America, putting boys and men on the losing side of a battle for athletic and educational opportunity. A former athlete herself, Jessica Gavora interviewed dozens of leading college athletes, educators and legal experts for this provocative, yet carefully researched book. She argues that the 1999 World Cup victory of the U.S. Women's Soccer team, for instance, widely seen as a Title IX triumph, was actually the result of a far more profound social revolution that has changed America's mind about sexual roles and female destiny. If anything, Title IX has had a destructive overall effect on all college athletes by killing opportunities to compete.Gavora shows how Title IX sports quotas have caused chaos at schools like Brown University and led directly to the cancellation of some of the most prestigious men's programs in the country-among them Providence College's baseball team, Princeton's wrestling team and the men's swimming and diving program that produced several Olympic champions. But if Title IX has tilted the college playing field, Gavora suggests that its greatest impact on American social life may still lie ahead as the federal bureaucrats, activist judges, and radical feminists who have shaped the statute's interpretation now seek to expand its reach into sexual harassment and other areas of education where boys and girls have to conform to their notion of "gender equity." "Tilting the Playing Field" is a trenchant insider's look at how one law-and its unintended consequences--has affected our view of sports, sex, and schools.…

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition (stated). FIRST PRINTING of the First Edition (stated). A frank and highly revealing discussion on the effects of gender-based political correctness as pursued by 'feminists' in education and sports, resulting in rampant discrimination against students based on their being male, athletic programs being dropped, whole teams being eliminated, etc., the author also providing many instances of aggressive feminist intimidation, harassment, and 'equity' enforcement gone amok, destroying the careers and hopes of young men - especially white men - and making into a laughingstock Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments, which was originally intended to protect students FROM race- and gender-based discrimination and harassment.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen.

Softcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. Knizka je urcena ucitelom, odbornikom a verejnosti zaujimajucej sa o porozumenie textu u ziakov. Porozumenie ucebnym textom je klucove pre efektivne ucenie; bez neho sa ziaci casto ucia mechanicky a rychlo zabudaju. Tymto sposobom sa vytvara dojem, ze ucenie je len formalnou cinnostou, kde ide len o znamky. Citanie s porozumenim vsak nie je len o osvojovani uciva, ale aj o chapani sveta. Bez porozumenia zije clovek v nevedomosti, je manipulovatelny a jeho hodnoty a postoje su ovplyvnene. Porozumenie textom, ci uz skolskym alebo mimoskolskym, ma zasadny vyznam pre vyvin dietata, pretoze stimuluje jeho myslenie a hodnotenie. Ziakovu schopnost porozumiet textu ovplyvnuju aj rodicia a rovesnici, cim sa citanie stava socialnou cinnostou. Autori z Katedry pedagogiky Pedagogickej fakulty Univerzity Komenskeho v Bratislave, ktori maju skusenosti ako ucitelia a vyskumnici, sa snazia osvetlit podstatu citania a gramotnosti. Kniha je strukturovana, zacina charakterizovanim textu, pokracuje zakladmi citania a porozumenia, rozvojom kritickeho myslenia a konstruktivistickou koncepciou vyucovania. Zvlastnu pozornost venuje aj motivacii citat a podpore citania v rodine.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Historically, ruminant animals have provided farmers with the ability to utilize marginal lands for the production of high quality food for human consumption. Ruminants are able to derive their nourishment from feeds that are not in themselves capable of meeting the nutritional needs of the animal. They do this by supporting in the rumen, which is a greatly enlarged region of the stomach which precedes the animals digestive system, a microbial fermentation system. This system partially degrades complex polysaccharides and provides to the animal not only the degradation products (chiefly volatile fatty acids), but also secondary microbial metabolites and microbial biomass (most importantly microbial protein, which can be synthetized from inorganic nitrogen sources). A ruminant animal is able to survive, if not thrive, on a diet containing only cellulose, a non-protein nitrogen source such as urea, and trace minerals. The capacity of the rumen to process low quality feeds is limited by factors such as rumen volume, the time required for digestion of these feeds in the rumen, and the ability of the animal to chew the feed. Hodern ruminant animals have been intensively selected for high production potential, but the limited capacity of the rumen fermentation means that this potential cannot be realized by feeding the animal low quality feeds. The high production potential of these animals can only be realized by feeding large amounts of readily digestible, high quality feeds such as oilseed meals and grains. Hodern ruminant animals have been intensively selected for high production potential, but the limited capacity of the rumen fermentation means that this potential cannot be realized by feeding the animal low quality feeds.
