Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Il libro rappresenta la testimonianza del progetto didattico 'Stage a Tor Vergata', rivolto a studenti del IV e V anno della scuola secondaria di II grado con l'intento di offrire loro non solo un percorso formativo, su discipline scientifiche moderne e di frontiera, ma anche un'attività di orientamento per scelte mature e consapevoli riguardo l'accesso alle facoltà universitarie e al mondo delle professioni.Il libro descrive con attenzione il punto di forza del progetto ovvero l'inserimento di studenti motivati, e di insegnanti di area scientifica, in veri gruppi di ricerca attivi in settori di avanguardia della scienza dei materiali e delle sue applicazioni all'astrofisica sperimentale. I contenuti scientifici e le attività sperimentali si modellano perfettamente sugli orientamenti dell'Unione Europea, la cui attenzione si è fortemente concentrata verso il potenziamento dell'utilizzo delle nuove tecnologie e della ricerca di materiali innovativi.Gli ambiti di riferimento sono le tecnologie dell'ICT (Information and Communication Technology), della conversione fotovoltaica e dell'uso di nuovi materiali per la realizzazione di grandi telescopi da terra e spaziali.Il lavoro degli studenti, svolto principalmente in team insieme a docenti e ricercatori universitari, nel libro viene rappresentato con estrema puntualità senza ovviamente trascurare gli elementi della fisica, chimica, matematica ed astronomia che sorreggono l'intera architettura didattica. Quest'ultima sfrutta pienamente le caratteristiche della laboratorialità: la cooperazione, il confronto, la riflessione, il problem solving, la costruzione di competenze.In tal modo gli 'studenti-ricercatori' acquisiscono la piena consapevolezza che l'apprendimento è una conquista che si ottiene con la ricerca.Il libro certamente si inserisce nel vivace e attualissimo dibattito riguardo il ruolo della scuola nella società della conoscenza, la quale sottolinea la natura sociale del conoscere attribuendo all'istruzione una funzione strategica. Il rapporto tra scuola, università e mondo del lavoro trova quindi un deciso consolidamento dal momento che l'istruzione e la formazione determinano buona parte del futuro economico e civile di ogni paese. 273 pp. Italienisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Victoria's Madmen tells the stories of a host of figures who came to exemplify a contradictory history of the Victorian age: not one of Dickensian London and smoking factories, but one of little known revolutionaries and radicals. Clive Bloom mixes extraordinary marginal voices with famous - and infamous - figures, from messiahs like Richard Brothers and Octavia 'Daughter of God'; writers such as Oscar Wilde, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Edward Bulwer-Lytton; revolutionaries and radicals like Karl Marx, Beatrice Webb, George Bernard Shaw and Oswald Mosley; madmen like Richard Dadd and Jack the Ripper; orientalists and guerrilla fighters such as T. E. Lawrence; worshippers of Pan such as Arthur Machen, Kenneth Grahame and J.M. Barrie, as well as the Latvian anarchists who killed three policemen in the East End of London.This is the story of those who were outcasts by temperament and choice; the non-conformists of the age. Clive Bloom's readable account of the dark underbelly of Victoria's Britain perfectly captures the unrest bubbling under the surface of strait-laced society. 309 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The role in public life of religious organizations such as black churches has been a contested and heated topic, with their advocates calling for them to have a major place in public discourse and their critiques demanding their silence in public if not their total destruction. This book offers a creative and compelling way to think about this dilemma. Unlike some, it does not deny the effort on the part of such organizations to be involved in public discourse and public policy; instead, it argues this interest is insufficient. Drawing attention to the basic elements of organizations such as black churches theology, organizational hierarchy, and so on Pinn argues these churches (and other religious organizations by extension) are not structured in such a way as to allow participation in the public arena in ways that appreciate and nurture the diversity of that arena. Instead, Pinn calls for recognition of their value in the private life of some, but their failure to have usefulness within the public arena. 69 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -From the perspective of the North, the Civil War began as a war to restore the Union and ended as a war to make a more perfect Union. The Civil War not only changed the moral meaning of the Union, it changed what the Union stood for in political, economic, and transnational terms. This volume examines the transformations the Civil War brought to the American Union as a politico-constitutional, social, and economic system. It explores how the war changed the meaning of the Union with regard to the supremacy of the federal government over the states, the right of secession, the rights of citizenship, and the political balance between the union's various sections. It further considers the effect of the war on international and transnational perceptions of the United States. Finally, it considers how historical memory has shaped the legacy of the Civil War in the last 150 years. 228 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Racism, race hygiene, eugenics, and their histories have for a long time been studied in terms of individual countries, whether genocidal ideology in Nazi Germany or scientific racial theories in the United States. As this study demonstrates, however, eugenic racial policy and scientific racism alike had a strongly international dimension. Concepts such as a 'Racial Confederation of European Peoples' or a 'blonde internationalism' marked the thinking and the actions of many eugenicists, undergirding transnational networks that persist even today. Author Stefan Kühl provides here a historical foundation for this phenomenon, contextualizing the international eugenics movement in relation to National Socialist race policies and showing how intensively eugenicists worked to disseminate their beliefs throughout the world. 288 pp. Englisch.
