Download or read book Issues Unresolved written by Amatzia Weisel and published by Gallaudet University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the more than 400 studies presented at the 18th International Congress on Education of the Deaf, the 20 most incisive papers were selected, rewritten, and edited to construct the trenchant volume Issues Unresolved: New Perspectives on Language and Deaf Education. The resulting book provocatively challenges the invested reader in four critical areas of deaf education worldwide. Part 1, Communication: Signed and Spoken Languages, addresses matters that range from considering critical periods for language acquisition, researched by Susan D. Fischer, to assessing the impact of immigration policies on the ethnic composition of Australia's deaf community, intriguing work by Jan Branson and Don Miller. Part 2, Communication: Accessibility to Speech, continues the debate with works on the perception of speech by deaf and hard of hearing children, contributed by Arthur Boothroyd, and automatic speech recognition and its applications, delineated by Harry Levitt. Educational issues are brought to the forefront in Part 3 in such engrossing studies as Lea Lurie and Alex Kozulin's discourse on the application of an instrumental-enrichment cognitive intervention program with deaf immigrant children from Ethiopia. Stephen Powers offers another perspective in this section with his retrospective evaluation of a distance education training course for teachers of the deaf. Part 4, Psychological and Social Adjustment reviews progress in this area, with Anne de Klerk's exposition on the Rotterdam Deaf Awareness Program, and Corinne J. Lewkowitz and Lynn S. Liben's research on the development of deaf and hearing children's sex-role attitudes and self-endorsements. These and the many other contributions by renowned international scholars in the field make Issues Unresolved a compelling new standard for all involved in deaf education.

Download or read book Unresolved Issues written by Patrick Brooks and published by Life to Legacy, LLC. This book was released on 2020-11-05 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the finale to the Unresolved Issues series; titled The Chronicles of Chapters. Each one of the chapters gives you a different true to life story, surrounding an issue the main character has. Consequently, the glaring theme to their lives is crystal clear to those surrounding them, but the indi-vidual carrying the weight has embraced this baggage as their norm. As we know the issues in one's life aren't the abnormity, but how we ad-dress these issues are. This dynamic often creates a strange void in our lives. The Chronicles of Chapters even touches on topics of projected im-ages, in this world of social media. The sensitive reality of racism in our na-tion, self-esteem or lack thereof and many other keynotes that have become a way of life for many Americans. The Chronicles of Chapters will take readers on a journey equivalent to a television series, as each chapter serves as a new awakening while re-maining on the same path of that journey. The prolonged build up before the heightened plot is introduced in most books, is far from the immediate impact of this novel from chapter to chapter. I implore readers to fasten their safety belts and enjoy this exhilarating, yet educational ride. After you've embarked upon The Chronicles of Chapters, the way that you view life and reading will forever be changed.

Book excerpt: Overcoming challenges even when the odds are stacked against you. This is the story of Tanya, a bright young girl with a loving family and a secret shame. As she grows up, keeping this secret will dramatically alter Tanya's relationships-with her family, with her husband-and have potentially devastating effects on her son. It will take courage, honesty, and faith for this family to resolve the issues that shape their lives. "How we handle adversity determines who we are and what we believe. If you know like I know, this is another opportunity for God to arise and demonstrate his powers. Trust him and give it to him." Tanya and her family will learn that they can either fall victim to their circumstances or respond with a determined, overcoming spirit. We all have a cross to bear, but our issues do not determine our fate or forfeit our purpose-meeting our challenges head-on and finding ways to conquer them is the road to a healthy spirit. If you allow your challenges to overcome you, be prepared for a downward spiral and a life filled with "Unresolved Issues."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume provides a series of essays on open questions in ecology with the overarching goal being to outline to the most important, most interesting or most fundamental problems in ecology that need to be addressed. The contributions span ecological subfields, from behavioral ecology and population ecology to disease ecology and conservation and range in tone from the technical to more personal meditations on the state of the field. Many of the chapters start or end in moments of genuine curiosity, like one which takes up the question of why the world is green or another which asks what might come of a thought experiment in which we "turn-off" evolution entirely"--

Download or read book Unsettled Updated and Expanded Edition written by Steven E. Koonin and published by BenBella Books. This book was released on 2024-06-11 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this updated and expanded edition of climate scientist Steven Koonin’s groundbreaking book, go behind the headlines to discover the latest eye-opening data about climate change—with unbiased facts and realistic steps for the future. "Greenland’s ice loss is accelerating." "Extreme temperatures are causing more fatalities." "Rapid 'climate action' is essential to avoid a future climate disaster." You've heard all this presented as fact. But according to science, all of these statements are profoundly misleading. With the new edition of Unsettled, Steven Koonin draws on decades of experience—including as a top science advisor to the Obama administration—to clear away the fog and explain what science really says (and doesn't say). With a new introduction, this edition now features reflections on an additional three years of eye-opening data, alternatives to unrealistic “net zero” solutions, global energy inequalities, and the energy crisis arising from the war in Ukraine. When it comes to climate change, the media, politicians, and other prominent voices have declared that “the science is settled.” In reality, the climate is changing, but the why and how aren’t as clear as you’ve probably been led to believe. Koonin takes readers behind the headlines, dispels popular myths, and unveils little-known truths: Despite rising greenhouse gas emissions, global temperatures decreased from 1940 to 1970 Models currently used to predict the future do not accurately describe the climate of the past, and modelers themselves strongly doubt their regional predictions There is no compelling evidence that hurricanes are becoming more frequent—or that predictions of rapid sea level rise have any validity Unsettled is a reality check buoyed by hope, offering the truth about climate science—what we know, what we don’t, and what it all means for our future.

A comprehensive picture of personality pathology is supplied that acknowledges the contributions and missteps of the past, identifies the crucial questions of the present, and sets a course for the future. It also follows the changes the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM–5) has triggered in the field of personality disorders. The editors take a unique approach where all chapters include two commentaries by experts in the field, as well as an author rejoinder. This approach engages multiple perspectives and an exchange of ideas. It is the ideal resource for researchers and treatment providers at all career stages.
