1932802118Addressing a classroom teacher's need to simultaneously manage a classroom full of students, meet state-mandated assessment standards for students, and track students' performance against a rubric, this overview of Excel shows how to put its features to use immediately in a classroom. Tracking attendance, grades, and books in the school library, creating reports to share with parents at parent–teacher conference time, and teaching basic charting concepts in a mathematics class are among the possible uses of Excel covered in this guide.

djvuLanguage:
EnglishISBN10:
0000000000This is a very good book. It contains activities graded for students of different levels. Some activities can be done in pairs and others in small groups. Games are intended to practice grammar structures ranging from the basic ones (gerunds, present, past, word order) to the most advanced ones (conditionals, phrasal verbs, reported speech, etc). Activities involve information gap, bingo, guessing games, problem-solving, role plays, find the differences, jigsaw readings, surveys, memory and board games. All games are photocopiable and the visuals are really attractive. If you like playing games with your students (no matter their age) this book can't miss in your library!

Transport in Nanostructures, Second EditionAuthor:
Stephen M. Goodnick, Jonathan BirdPages:
670Format:
pdfLanguage:
EnglishISBN10:
0521877482The advent of semiconductor structures whose characteristic dimensions are smaller than the mean free path of carriers has led to the development of novel devices, and advances in theoretical understanding of mesoscopic systems or nanostructures. This book has been thoroughly revised and provides a much-needed update on the very latest experimental research into mesoscopic devices and develops a detailed theoretical framework for understanding their behaviour. Beginning with the key observable phenomena in nanostructures, the authors describe quantum confined systems, transmission in nanostructures, quantum dots, and single electron phenomena. Separate chapters are devoted to interference in diffusive transport, temperature decay of fluctuations, and non-equilibrium transport and nanodevices. Throughout the book, the authors interweave experimental results with the appropriate theoretical formalism. The book will be of great interest to graduate students taking courses in mesoscopic physics or nanoelectronics, and researchers working on semiconductor nanostructures.
• A much-needed update on the latest experimental research • Now contains greater coverage of the quantum Hall effect, one-dimensional structures, nanoscale electronic devices, and quantum dots • Develops a detailed theoretical framework for understanding the behaviour of mesoscopic devices

0000000000It must appeal to the judgment of every thinking man and woman that the human family are more in need of sound, wholesome advice as to what they should eat and drink than 7ver before. The number of physicians and dentistYlncreases each year at an alanning rate, but the aches and ills of the suffering people do not lessen. Thousands of people find themselves in a deplorable condition, with stomachs almost "~orn out, ha.ving depended largely upon predigested foods and a long list of so-called "dyspepsia cures." The amount of patent nlcdicines, ilSUT(~ cures," consumed by the people in the United States is enormous, and is increasing every year. It must be apparent to all students of the past century that the people of the present are not enjoying the same degree of health as our ancestors, nor have we any assurance that things will improve unless sonle radical change is made.

Moral Limit and Possibility in World PoliticsAuthor:
Richard M. PricePages:
320Format:
pdfLanguage:
EnglishISBN10:
0521716209At what point can we concede that the realities of world politics require that moral principles be compromised, and how do we know when a real ethical limit has been reached? This volume gathers leading constructivist scholars to explore the issue of moral limit and possibility in global political dilemmas. The contributors examine pressing ethical challenges such as sanctions, humanitarian intervention, torture, the self-determination of indigenous peoples, immigration, and the debate about international criminal tribunals and amnesties in cases of atrocity. Their analyses entail theoretical and empirical claims about the conditions of possibility and limits of moral change in world politics, therefore providing insightful leverage on the ethical question of 'what ought we to do?' This is a valuable contribution to the growing field of normative theory in International Relations and will appeal to scholars and advanced students of international ethics and political theory.

EnglishISBN10:
1932072705Phil Hawkins has been a landscape Photographer in Yosemite National Park for twenty-two years and an avid user of Photoshop for the last seven years. In this tutorial, "Adobe Photoshop Image Restoration - Image Acquisition and Retouching", he will begin by teaching photography concepts: image color, film grain, tonal range and cropping techniques, will be covered. Next, he will move into acquisition methods such as scanning and importing. Once the image has been brought into Photoshop, he will discuss file management, resolution and bit depth. He will follow up with color correction, composition and finally image restoration. This is a project based tutorial that will help any Photoshop user from version 5 up to the current CS and beyond.
