“The” Red Jews

Antisemitism in the Apocalyptic Age 1200 - 1600

By: Andrew Colin Gow

The German legend of the Red Jews, a medieval conflation of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel with the biblical destroyers Gog and Magog, articulated throughout the Middle Ages and well into the sixteenth century a fundamentally antisemitic strain of popular apocalypticism. This undigested piece of medievalia disappeared as more strictly biblical narratives of the End replaced medieval myth. As a result, the Red Jews have not been noticed by modern historians though they were a universally-known feature of German apocalyptic belief for over three centuries.

The Goldilocks Map: A classroom teacher's quest to evaluate 'brain-based' teaching advice

By: Andrew C. Watson

In the last 20 years, the cognitive sciences have revealed fresh, surprising, and useful insights into how and why our students learn. Teachers can now draw on psychology and neuroscience research to supplement, reconsider, even overturn our traditions and training. To use this research most wisely, teachers must find our way to an elusive Goldilocks Zone. Instead of resisting all research-based guidance, we should be ready to take it to heart – even when it challenges both our training and conventional wisdom. Instead of accepting all research-based guidance, we should be ready to reject it emphatically – especially the hyped-up edu-fads that exaggerate and misinterpret psychology findings. How can we get this Goldilocks balance “just right”? This book offers a specific, practical quest map to discover just such a balance. By critically examining the source, the research, and ourselves, teachers can develop the skills necessary to be effective research skeptics. Written by a teacher with 18 years in the classroom – and 13 years studying neuroscience and psychology – The Goldilocks Map transforms brain research from a daunting monologue into an approachable, exciting, and lively conversation.

Matrix Groups

An Introduction to Lie Group Theory

By: Andrew Baker

This book offers a first taste of the theory of Lie groups, focusing mainly on matrix groups: closed subgroups of real and complex general linear groups. The first part studies examples and describes classical families of simply connected compact groups. The second section introduces the idea of a lie group and explores the associated notion of a homogeneous space using orbits of smooth actions. The emphasis throughout is on accessibility.

Understanding Regional Differences in Work Hours

By: Andrew Heisz,Sébastien LaRochelle-Côté,Statistics Canada. Analytical Studies Branch,Statistics Canada. Business and Labour Market Analysis Division

In recent years, international differences in work hours have been the focus of a substantial body of research. Much less attention has been paid to regional differences in working time in Canada, in spite of regional differences in average work hours that are of a magnitude that is similar to that of the Canada-U.S. difference in work hours. In this paper, we document regional differences in work hours across 6 regions of Canada for 2004, using a representative sample of 19,500 workers from the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics. We also examine potential explanations for these differences."--Unedited text from document.

Corporate Financial Leverage in Canadian Manufacturing : Consequences for Employment and Inventories

By: Andrew Heisz,Statistics Canada. Analytical Studies Branch

This paper investigates the link between financial structure and employment growth, and the link between financial structure and inventory growth, among incorporated Canadian manufacturers from 1988 to 1997. It finds that financially vulnerable firms - smaller firms and those with higher leverage - shed nearly 10% more labour than financially healthier firms for a given drop in product demand. The influence was larger during the recession of 1990 to 1992 indicating that higher financial vulnerability, reflected in high leverage, may have worsened during that period. The influence was also greater in sectors that experienced larger cyclical fluctuations. On average, firms with high leverage also tend to cut inventories 5% more when a shock in demand occurs.
