Paperback. Zustand: New. Education for survival is a critique of educational practice, based on the author's personal experience and forty years of teaching in universities, as well as observation of the progress of the author's children and grandchildren through school and university. The author concludes that a process of superficial learning, followed by exams and immediate forgetfulness, serves no useful purpose for the student or for society as a whole. Feats of memory are richly rewarded, to the exclusion of all other abilities. Much that has survival value, such as simple hygiene, is not taught or is treated as another academic subject, to be examined and then forgotten. Science is taught as history, without discovery or imagination, and most schools do not include subjects such as engineering. Many students decide that they cannot do maths because the subject is taught unsympathetically and too quickly, with the result that they cannot manage their own finances.From the time that universities in England and Wales were obliged to charge tuition fees there has been a tendency to devise courses that are superficially attractive but add little to the student's employability. In many cases, a student who has common sense and a level of practical ability finds that an academic course does not suit them. On graduating they find jobs hard to find and society loses a potentially useful contributor. Schools often regard entry to university as a success but if the outcome is a loss of income, with no saleable skills, nobody gains.Education for survival is presented as a series of essays that can be read separately, covering a wide range of topics from the education of politicians to the structure of the school day, provocative in parts but always constructive.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. Uganda is probably the best country to visit for access to African butterflies, with a wide range of habitats and a very pleasant climate all year round. The road network is good, providing access to accommodation that is clean, with good food and a warm welcome.This second edition has 70 colour plates, 14 more than the first edition, with 96 more photographs, covering 33 more species. All photographs were taken during five visits to Uganda, between 2016 and 2020, mostly, but not exclusively, in places that visitors will go to see other animals, such as birds, chimpanzees or gorillas.The major habitats can be roughly equally divided between savannah and forest, both of which are comfortable to walk in and offer a rich selection of butterflies, with about 1270 species on the list, about double what South Africa has to offer. We have provided a brief description of the places we would recommend but you will find butterflies everywhere in Uganda.…

Hardback. Zustand: New. Bacteria are the most ubiquitous life-forms on Earth, and are studied extensively to gain insight into their function and understand how they interact with their environment. In recent years, bacterial biophysics has added a new dimension to this research by using the tools of physics to investigate the quantitative principles that underpin these cellular systems. This book provides a modern and cohesive introduction to bacterial biophysics, with a focus on biofilms, slimes and capsules. In the first of three sections, key techniques and models from the physical sciences that can be applied to bacterial problems are presented. Section 2 then provides a bacterial microbiology primer for physical scientists and an examination of single-cell phenomena. The final section explores interacting bacteria and biofilms from a physical perspective. Ideal for physics graduates interested in this important field, this book is also relevant for researchers in physical chemistry, bioengineering, mathematics and microbiology.…
