Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -È convinzione generale che la matematica sia una materia difficile da capire, che usa simboli esoterici e un linguaggio poco comprensibile, che sia soprattutto calcolo. Certamente, è una materia particolare, che ha bisogno di formule e che necessita di un linguaggio formale a volte molto sofisticato. Tuttavia, è anche una scienza piena di idee, che non hanno solo la funzione di progredire in una qualche teoria o di servire altre scienze per i loro modelli quantitativi. Come la filosofia, come la letteratura, la matematica è utile all'uomo per cercare di capire un po' meglio il mondo che lo circonda, e soprattutto se stesso. Convinto profondamente di questo, l'autore propone alcuni argomenti, che sono particolarmente adatti a mettere in luce questo aspetto della matematica. L'autore utilizza, a volte, un linguaggio più matematico per completare il ragionamento, ma è del tutto convinto che il lettore interessato possa seguire tutti i suoi ragionamenti perché, parafrasando un grande matematico del secolo scorso, 'chi non ha dimestichezza con le tecniche matematiche si renderà conto di potersela cavare senza problemi ignorandole del tutto' (J.F.Nash, jr). 154 pp. Italienisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Le zoonosi, cioè le infezioni naturalmente trasmissibili tra le altre specie animali e l'uomo, costituiscono oggi, anche nei paesi sviluppati, un problema emergente. Mutamenti climatici, flussi migratori umani, crescita degli scambi internazionali e guerre favoriscono sia il riemergere di malattie considerate rare, sia l'introduzione in nuove aree geografiche di organismi potenzialmente patogeni. Per buona parte di queste patologie, tuttavia, la maggioranza degli operatori sanitari - a cominciare dai medici di medicina generale - spesso non dispone di conoscenze e strumenti appropriati e aggiornati. Il testo si propone di fornire al personale medico - e in primo luogo ai medici di medicina generale - sia un quadro di riferimento scientifico e normativo, sia una serie di informazioni specifiche e pratiche sulle singole patologie. Questo volume vuole essere uno strumento operativo volto anche a favorire la collaborazione multidisciplinare e lo scambio di informazioni, in particolare tra medici e veterinari. 231 pp. Italienisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - By the end of World War II, Americans relationship with nature had changed dramatically. New consumption patterns drove an industrial economy that damaged the earth in new ways, and the atomic age heightened awareness of the earth s fragility. Environmental historian Steven Stoll identifies 1945 as the birth of American environmentalism - the point when conservation and nature advocacy fused with activism to form a political movement. In this thematically organized collection of primary sources, Stoll traces the development of the environmental movement and identifies its central issues and ideologies, including the politics of preservation, population growth, biological interdependence, ecodefense, climate change, ethical consumption, and environmental justice. Stoll s insightful introduction provides students with a solid overview of environmentalism s origins and contextualizes the topics raised by the documents. Document headnotes, a chronology, questions for consideration, and a selected bibliography offer additional pedagogical support.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - How can we make sure that our children are learning to be creative thinkers in a world of global competition - and what does that mean for the future of education in the digital age David Williamson Shaffer offers a fresh and powerful perspective on computer games and learning. How Computer Games Help Children Learn shows how video and computer games can help teach children to build successful futures - but only if we think in new ways about education itself. Shaffer shows how computer and video games can help students learn to think like engineers, urban planners, journalists, lawyers, and other innovative professionals, giving them the tools they need to survive in a changing world. Based on more than a decade of research in technology, game science, and education, How Computer Games Help Children Learn revolutionizes the ongoing debate about the pros and cons of digital learning.
