Teaching with Inquiry

Increasing Student Engagement across Disciplines

By: Catherine Snyder,Mary Eads,Sean O’Connell,Richard Lasselle,Sherri Duan,Daniel Mattoon,Patti Rand

Inquiry Learning is an innovative, hands-on, and collaborative approach to student learning. The Inquiry Learning Model shifts the heavy cognitive lifting from the teacher to the student. Documents and artifacts are used to provoke deep analysis and hone critical-thinking skills as students work in teams to interpret and connect clues to solve a mystery. A detailed step-by-step methodology is provided as well as six multidisciplinary lessons. Lessons are suitable for collaborative teaching or stand alone in discipline specific classes. For example, Exploitation and Immortality: The Story of Henrietta Lacks, is a lesson that can be used in the science, social studies, English or math classroom, or a combination of any of these disciplines. In addition to the methodology and lessons, Teaching with Inquiry includes differentiation strategies to adapt lessons to all learners, suggestions for lesson use in multiple disciplines, and a variety of graphic organizers to help students organize, process, and summarize the information throughout the lesson.

The Political Life of Edmund Burke

Empire and Revolution

The Political Life of Edmund Burke

By: Richard Bourke

A major new account of one of the leading philosopher-statesmen of the eighteenth century Edmund Burke (1730–97) lived during one of the most extraordinary periods of world history. He grappled with the significance of the British Empire in India, fought for reconciliation with the American colonies, and was a vocal critic of national policy during three European wars. He also advocated reform in Britain and became a central protagonist in the great debate on the French Revolution. Drawing on the complete range of printed and manuscript sources, Empire and Revolution offers a vivid reconstruction of the major concerns of this outstanding statesman, orator, and philosopher. In restoring Burke to his original political and intellectual context, this book overturns the conventional picture of a partisan of tradition against progress and presents a multifaceted portrait of one of the most captivating figures in eighteenth-century life and thought. A boldly ambitious work of scholarship, this book challenges us to rethink the legacy of Burke and the turbulent era in which he played so pivotal a role.

The Origins and Development of Football in Ireland

Being a Reprint of R.M. Peter's Irish Football Annual of 1880

By: Richard M. Peter

Football, be it Gaelic, rugby, or soccer is unquestionably the most popular team sport in Ireland. Surprisingly, the modern codes of Gaelic, Rugby, and Assocation football in Ireland are little more than a century old. R.M. Peter's pioneering Annual was published in 1880. Reproduced here, it provides voluminous detail on more than 600 players and 50 clubs of the time: it is a mine of information for the sports enthusiast, the historian, the genealogist alike.

Shareware Heroes

The renegades who redefined gaming at the dawn of the internet

By: Richard Moss

Shareware Heroes is a comprehensive, meticulously researched exploration of an important and too-long overlooked chapter in video game history Shareware Heroes: Independent Games at the Dawn of the Internet takes readers on a journey, from the beginnings of the shareware model in the early 1980s, the origins of the concept, even the name itself, and the rise of shareware's major players – the likes of id Software, Apogee, and Epic MegaGames – through to the significance of shareware for the ‘forgotten’ systems – the Mac, Atari ST, Amiga – when commercial game publishers turned away from them. This book also charts the emergence of commercial shareware distributors like Educorp and the BBS/newsgroup sharing culture. And it explores how shareware developers plugged gaps in the video gaming market by creating games in niche and neglected genres like vertically-scrolling shoot-'em-ups (e.g. Raptor and Tyrian) or racing games (e.g. Wacky Wheels and Skunny Kart) or RPGs (God of Thunder and Realmz), until finally, as the video game market again grew and shifted, and major publishers took control, how the shareware system faded into the background and fell from memory.

Harmony of the Spheres

By: Richard Conde

This novel is a testament and tribute to the existence of the Holy Grail and its passage through time. It is a tale of historical fiction that will capture your mind and hold you till the last page. Harmony of Spheres is a devastatingly powerful book that details the forces of good and evil that has ripped apart the fabric of mankind down through the ages. The central theme of the story is a sea voyage Jesus takes as a teenager traveling from his home to the tin mines of England. The young Jesus encounters an ambiguous world of deceit, illusion, treachery and loneliness. Yet, he is also with men and women who are sympathetic, descent and courageous who help him develop as the man he would become. The last chapters of the story take place in modern rural Vermont where the Holy Grail is about to fall into Satan's possession. The reader will be mesmerized and fascinated by the mysterious shadows evil can cast over humanity. The complex ending of the scheme unfolds in its breathless final. The storyline is ingeniously plotted and compellingly displayed before the reader.

Duchess of Death

The Unauthorized Biography of Agatha Christie

By: Richard Hack

Although she is the most popular novelist in history, with over two billion books sold worldwide, Agatha Christie lived a life shrouded in secrecy and fueled by curiosity. Nearly as notorious for her aversion to the press as she was for her 80 books and collections of short stories, Christie made no secret of her need for privacy. Utilizing over 5,000 previously unpublished letters, notes, and documents, award-winning biographer Richard Hack allows Christie to write again, 33 years after her death. Duchess of Death is her story, as full of romance, travel, wealth, and scandal as any mystery Christie ever crafted. There have been numerous biographies of the Queen of Crime, all of which claim to be definitive. However, Duchess of Death is the first to draw from such an enormous number of previously unpublished correspondence and notes, effectively establishing it as the most authoritative, penetrating look at the personal and literary life of Christie.

Australia's Remarkable Trees

Australia's Remarkable Trees

By: Richard Allen

Elephantine Boabs dot the Kimberley region of Western Australia; Cattle rub against giant Bottle Trees and Ironbarks in Queensland, and Strangler Figs with 40-metre girths thrive in our northern rainforests. Snow Gums and Shining Gums eke out their lives on our icy mountain tops and prehistoric-looking Bunya Pines, which once looked down on the dinosaurs, grow in a few isolated places in Australia's north-east. Australia's Remarkable Trees explores the extraordinary lives of fifty of Australia's oldest, largest and most unusual trees. Richly illustrated with more than 500 photographs, writer Richard Allen and photographer Kimbal Baker went to the far reaches of Australia-travelling more than 60 000 kilometres-to photograph them and tell their stories. Australia's Remarkable Trees is not just a celebration of Australia's great trees. It also prompts us to look to the future to see what lies in store for them. It is a call to arms to preserve and protect our oldest and most magnificent living things, and the forests and wilderness in which they live

Fencing Paradise

The Uses and Abuses of Plants

By: Richard Mabey

In this remarkable journal of visits to Eden, Mabey transports his reader from Cornwall to the Mediterranean to the Tropics, from Old World to New, from present to personal memory, to new perspectives on our collective artistic and emotional past. Sensuous and evocative, exquisitely written, his new book challenges the reader to look differently at the world, and our place in the landscape. At the same time, Mabey is controversial in his views about what we mean by buzz words like 'renewable', or 'sustainable', and he is highly provocative in his final response to the Eden Project itself.

Plant Anatomy

A Concept-Based Approach to the Structure of Seed Plants

By: Richard Crang,Sheila Lyons-Sobaski,Robert Wise

Intended as a text for upper-division undergraduates, graduate students and as a potential reference, this broad-scoped resource is extensive in its educational appeal by providing a new concept-based organization with end-of-chapter literature references, self-quizzes, and illustration interpretation. The concept-based, pedagogical approach, in contrast to the classic discipline-based approach, was specifically chosen to make the teaching and learning of plant anatomy more accessible for students. In addition, for instructors whose backgrounds may not primarily be plant anatomy, the features noted above are designed to provide sufficient reference material for organization and class presentation. This text is unique in the extensive use of over 1150 high-resolution color micrographs, color diagrams and scanning electron micrographs. Another feature is frequent side-boxes that highlight the relationship of plant anatomy to specialized investigations in plant molecular biology, classical investigations, functional activities, and research in forestry, environmental studies and genetics, as well as other fields. Each of the 19 richly-illustrated chapters has an abstract, a list of keywords, an introduction, a text body consisting of 10 to 20 concept-based sections, and a list of references and additional readings. At the end of each chapter, the instructor and student will find a section-by-section concept review, concept connections, concept assessment (10 multiple-choice questions), and concept applications. Answers to the assessment material are found in an appendix. An index and a glossary with over 700 defined terms complete the volume.

A Simple Guide to Planting Oaks in Australia

By: Richard Browne

On arriving here from Ireland some fourteen years ago and buying six acres of bare land, I realised that the things I missed most were the changing colour of the seasons and the smell of the deciduous woods I had spent my childhood in. Already having an extensive knowledge of Oak trees. I spent ten years collecting and planting Oaks from around the world, reading, studying and gleaning more knowledge from wherever it could be found. During this time I hunted high and low for a book on the subject but to no avail, as it transpired there was no such book. After so much research and a life time love of Oak wood lands I decided to write it myself for other. Oaks have played a great part in the evolution of my and all of our cultures and if you don’t believe it read on. The Oak is also the most obvious form of introduced flaura or fauna that I know off that has been quite advantageous to the Australian landscape, soil and wildlife rather than detrimental like so many of the other impulsive imports. This book is a simple guide to the things we didn’t know, but probably should, about the Oaks of the world. I hope you enjoy this brief summary of Oaks, as I see them, as that is my aim.
