Over the ensuing decades, white residents suppressed African Americans who dared challenge that system with an array of violence, terror, and murder. In 19...

This book explores a new theory of schema development and its ability to serve as a unified basis for understanding learning, instruction and assessment. The theory's prescriptions for teaching are direct, and its application to assessment suggests new directions for tests. Marshall illustrates the main features of her theory with experimental evidence from students who are learning to recognize and solve arithmetic story problems.

Not Grant nor Sherman, nor any of our country's heroes, were ever made the subject of more ardent curiosity on the part of our citizens than the hero of a thousand-mile walk. The excitement at times reached almost to the point of frenzy and in their eagerness to gain a standing point right in front of the window at which the beaming countenance of the great man was seen, the crowd came in sharp collision with the police." - Chicago Tribune - N...

I am glad to welcome this reprint of a book which the late Dr. A. P. Orr and I had much pleasure in writing. Since it was first published in 1955 there has been a great expan­ sion of work on the metabolism of copepods, especially on Calanus finmarchicus and its related species. Some pages of more recent references have therefore been added to the bibliography. In the main text there is, of course, no discussion of, or reference to, the work d...

Nell'autunno del 2007 le querce delle foreste del sud del New Hampshire avevano prodotto una scarsa quantità di ghiande: gli animali della foresta erano perciò destinati a soffrire, e probabilmente a non superare l'inverno. La naturalista Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, come molti altri abitanti del posto, decide di lasciare piccoli mucchi di grano intorno a casa sua, per nutrire uccellini e scoiattoli. Presto il cibo finisce per attirare anche i c...

If the twentieth century has been dominated by discussions of the public, public life, and the public sphere,  Contemporary Publics argues that, in the twenty-first century, we must complicate the singularity of that paradigm and start thinking of our world in terms of multiple, overlapping, and competing publics. In three distinct streams—art, media and technology, and the intimate life—this volume offers up the intellectual and political sig...

Excerpt from Afloat on the Pacific: Or Notes of Three Years Life at Sea, Comprising Sketches of PeopleI forgot my supper in the contemplation, and in the enjoyment of new thoughts and feelings might have forgotten my own existence, had I not been reminded of it by an occasional pitch of the vessel which caused an unpleasant sensation. Thus warned to retire, I sought my bunk, and after long lying awake and listening to the measured thump of the...
