Tools for Critical Thinking in Biology
ISBN: 9780199981045 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The American Association for the Advancement of Science's report on Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education suggests that instructors "can no longer rely solely on trying to cover a syllabus packed with topics" but rather should "introduce fewer concepts but present them in greater depth." They further suggest that the principles embodied in a set of core concepts and competencies should be the basis for all undergraduate biology courses, including those designed for nonmajors. The theme of Tools for Critical Thinking in Biology will be the first and most...

Changing Fortunes: Income Mobility and Poverty Dynamics in Britain
ISBN: 9780199226436 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Most information about the incomes of people in Britain today, such as provided by official statistics, tells us how much inequality there is or how many poor people there are in a given year and compares those numbers with the corresponding statistics from the previous year. Missing from snapshot pictures like these is information about whether the people who were poor one year are the same people who are poor the following year; and the circumstances of those with middle-income or top-income origins are not tracked over time. This book fills in the missing information. The author likens...

ISBN: 9780199671021 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The so-called Great Recession that followed the global financial crisis at the end of 2007 was the largest economic downturn since the 1930s for most rich countries.
