Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Do students who work longer and harder learn more in college Does joining a fraternity with a more academic flavor enhance a student's academic performance When are the results from an innovation that is tried on one campus applicable to other campuses How many students and faculty members must participate in a research project before findings are valid Do students learn best when they study alone or in small groups These are just some more than fifty examples that Richard Light Judith Singer and John Willett explore in 'By Design,' a lively nontechnical sourcebook for learning about colleges and universities. These authors believe that careful design of research on college effectiveness is the single most important step toward producing useful and valid findings. In that spirit, 'By Design' is a pathbreaking textbook of modern research methods that both practitioners and students will find useful.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Here is a brief and authoritative account of human physical growth, beautifully written by one of the world's foremost experts. In 'Fetus into Man' Professor Tanner tells the story of growth in language that is both accessible to the nonbiologist and acceptable to the biologist.The book begins with the basics of growth: cell division, hormonal control and differential growth of body tissues. It then builds on these basics to provide a picture of individual growth--from the fetus in utero to the development of sex differences at puberty. Tanner pays special attention along the way to the psychological and social problems faced by children who mature either too soon or too late, and he concludes with a full description of the major growth disorders and current methods of treatment.'Fetus into Man' will be an important reference for parents, educators, students of development, and indeed anyone who must deal with the growing child.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Human beings are a part of nature and apart from it.'

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The results and implications of Alan Tyson's work on Mozart have had a profound impact on virtually every aspect of research on this composer: biography, chronology of compositions, working methods, stylistic analysis. Central, perhaps, are Tyson's discoveries on chronology: time and again he has proved that datings, often of large, well-known works, that have been accepted for generations are not only erroneous but based on little more than speculation. This book assembles his major articles, previously scattered through magazines, journals, and festschrifts, plus two unpublished pieces, into a treasure trove for musicologists and music lovers. Tyson's investigations, using primarily paper analysis, span Mozart's entire career and the full range of genres--string quartets, operas, choral music, keyboard music, concertos, and symphonies. He goes into the genesis of major works such as Cosi fan tutte, the Prague Symphony, the Piano Sonata K.333, the Haydn quartets, and La clemenza di Tito. His conclusions about chronology bear directly on biographical questions and current accounts of Mozart's stylistic development as well as his compositional methods. We learn here, for example, that the first horn concerto was in fact Mozart's last, and that he did not even complete the second movement, which was finished after his death by his pupil Sussmayr. The writing (and, in some cases, rewriting) of his later operas such as Figaro and Cosi fan tutte also lends itself to investigation by the same techniques; this is resulting in the rediscovery of some lost measures and little-known variant versions of arias. Tyson's style is clear and elegant, and the originality of his work and the soundness of his inferences make this book a pleasure.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Two massive systems of unfree labor arose, a world apart from each other, in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. The American enslavement of blacks and the Russian subjection of serfs flourished in different ways and varying degrees until they were legally abolished in the mid-nineteenth century. Historian Peter Kolchin compares and contrasts the two systems over time in this magisterial book, which clarifies the organization, structure, and dynamics of both social entities, highlighting their basic similarities while pointing out important differences discernible only in comparative perspective.
