Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present well-established study of planets orbiting stars other than our Sun, the exoplanets, was reviewed by the author in his earlier book Wandering Stars. This new and exciting field of study has expanded quickly, particularly due to technological advances in both Earth-based telescopes and, more recently, in the application of automatic space vehicles. Well over 300 exoplanets have now been catalogued, each of mass comparable to or greater than those of the major planets of the Solar System. Earth-sized bodies remain out of reach for the present. The data obtained so far show that the distribution of major planets in our Solar System is the exception rather than the rule, contrary to earlier expectations. A few exoplanet systems do, nevertheless, give the promise of broadly Solar System conditions with the possibility of Earth-like components in appropriate orbits. This immediately raises the age-old question of whether there can be life elsewhere in the Universe and whether this might involve advanced technologically-capable beings like ourselves. The topic is explored in this workbook. To gain a balanced perspective on these matters, the arguments are set against the broad panorama of the Universe on the one hand and on the evolution of life on Earth leading to Homo sapiens on the other. More than this, the apparatus for achieving technological excellence, such as the development of appropriate energy sources and the invention of the required mathematical skills, is also included. This wide range of arguments is unusual. This notebook-cum-workbook provides a firm and comprehensive introduction to these studies. It is written by an expert in the field for readers beginning to ponder these questions seriously. It is hoped that the reader will extend the arguments further as the subject develops. A special feature is an extensive compendium to act as the beginnings of a personal inventory. The Inverted Bowl is in a very real sense a companion to Wandering Stars.

This is intrinsically a multidisciplinary subject, involving, for example, astronomy, geology, biology and theory of evolution. Cole makes a good work of giving an introductory account of these matters. The book is clearly written and well structured … The book also offers an extensive set of appendices and a compendium of relevant references, which might serve as a precious guide for further study.”Contemporary Physics

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new understanding is developed in this book about the relationship between the Christian faith, modern science, and the world religions. The authors call their new position Evolutionary Pluralism. By combining the Christian faith with modern science and the global growth of religious diversity, Evolutionary Pluralism provides Christians with an alternative to current interpretations such as Young Earth Creationism, Old Earth Creationism, Intelligent Design Creationism, and Evolutionary Creationism. This new understanding stands solidly within the history and traditions of the Christian faith and builds on the life and ministry of Jesus Christ.

Download or read book Instruction Modeling written by George A. Khachatryan and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-30 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Blended learning" is an educational approach that combines online and face-to-face components in the classroom, and it is becoming popular in American schools. But the quality of these programs is inconsistent; some are based on scientific findings on how children learn, while others lack such support. In fact, very little reliable information is currently available on how to create, use, and measure the results of blended learning programs. Instruction Modeling is both a practical guide to developing and implementing blended learning programs and a first-hand account of the creation of one such program, Reasoning Mind. As Reasoning Mind cofounder and instructional designer George Khachatryan explains, instruction modeling is a leading method for designing blended learning programs: carefully study high-quality offline instruction and build online programs to recreate it on a larger scale. This book describes in practical terms how to create a blended learning program, exploring a wide range of scientifically-supported approaches. Some programs draw on cognitive psychology, for instance, others on research in gaming, and still others on modern statistical methods such as "big data." Instruction modeling is unique amongst these approaches in that it relies above all on a deep understanding of the techniques and qualities of the world's best teachers. Making a strong case for broader use of instruction modeling, this book will be of special interest to teachers and education researchers, and an indispensable resource for those interested in the technique for its application in new contexts.
