Sam Kean is een jonge wetenschapper die op een leuke, onderhoudende wijze schrijft over de elementen uit het periodiek stelsel. Zo was er ooit het plan van de CIA om Fidel Castro te vergiftigen door thallium (E81) in zijn sokken te stoppen. En het verhaal over de euro, die door het element europium (E63) tot de meest geraffineerde en complexe munt is geworden die ooit is ontworpen. Kean maakt scheikunde weer leuk!

Forensic psychiatrist Emanuel Tanay has testified in thousands of court cases as an expert witness, including such notorious cases as those of Jack Ruby, Sam Sheppard, and Theodore 'Ted' Bundy. Tanay walks the reader through his experiences in the courtroom, explaining the role of the forensic psychiatrist in the litigation process and providing a 'behind-the-scenes' view of our criminal justice system, including individual chapters on some of his most interesting and infamous cases. Tanay also provides clear examples of the rampant injustice that he has witnessed and argues that the potential for injustice is built into our legal system in the form of incompetent lawyers, the imbalance of resources between the pricey defense lawyers hired by large corporations in civil trials and the inexperienced lawyers often hired by plaintiffs, and the political concerns of elected judges and prosecutors. American Legal Injustice: Behind the Scenes with an Expert Witness is a must-read for Law & Order, Court TV, and true crime enthusiasts.

Dit reconstrueert zijn kleindochter zestig jaar later aan de hand van brieven, dagboeknotities en gesprekken. Vanaf zijn transport uit concentratiekamp Neuengamme vertakt zich het spoor. Wat vertellen getuigenissen uit een tijd waarin chaos en verwarring meester waren? En wat doet zijn verdwijning met de achterblijvers?Een aangrijpend verhaal, waarin Sam zelf het laatste woord krijgt.Jacqueline Quarles van Ufford is sociaal psychologe en freelance redactrice.
De Roodborst kunnen we gerust omschrijven als een 'dappere' zangvogel.Met een dieet van enkel insecten, in de winter aangevuld met bessen en zachte nootjes, verlaat een deel van onze roodborstpopulatie zijn broed- en geboortegebied om in het zuiden te overwinteren. Roodborsten uit meer noordelijke regio.s komen bij ons overwinteren. In dit boek worden deze bewegingen in detail bekeken en besproken. De Roodborst is een echte individualist: alhoewel paarterritoriaal tijdens de broedperiode hanteert hij daarbuiten het motto 'alleen is beter dan met twee'. Waarom hij dit doet en hoe wordt in dit boek uitgebreid behandeld.Wie kent niet de parelende, melancholische zang van onze Roodborsten? Zelfs tijdens de winter horen we Roodborsten zingen. De gedragsecologische betekenis hiervan komt in dit boek ruimschoots aan bod.Ten slotte wordt ook even ingegaan op het effect van kattenpredatie op enkele zangvogels in een stedelijk milieu. De Huismus en de Roodborst blijken uit recent onderzoek gevoelig te zijn voor kattenpredatie. Beide halen voordeel uit menselijke aanwezigheid maar blijkbaar heeft dit ook een keerzijde.Het herwerkte De Roodborst, dichtbij en ver weg verhaalt over het doen en laten van deze charmante tuinvogel. Bovendien werd het boek aangevuld met de recentste onderzoeksresultaten.Voor deze heruitgave werd De Roodborst, dichtbij en ver weg volledig herwerkt en in een nieuw kleedje gestoken. Naast de tekeningen van Herwig Blockx is het boek nu ook ge´llustreerd met prachtige natuurfoto's van Sam Mannaerts.

Over the years, Canadians have smugly asserted their country's more tolerant culture in race relations. Yet as this story of African-Canadian participation in sports demonstrates, the record is far more troubling. In reality, Canada's record in matters of race was a disturbing blend of occasional good intentions and ugly practices. The study of the Black athletic experience in Canada is not only a revealing portrait into our past, but also one more demonstration of some time-honoured truths about human achievement and the necessity of the public will to provide open and fair forums for equal access to participation. Presented in a chronological sequence, individual sports are presented along with the leading athletes who brought grace and a determination to achieve. Included are George Dixon, Sam Langford, Reuben Mayes, Ray Lewis, Sam Richardson, Dr Phil Edwards, Jackie Robinson, Harry Jerome, Earl Walls, Donovan Bailey, Sylvia Sweeney, Molly Killingbeck, Herb Carnegie, Jamaal Magliore, Perdita Felicien and Jarome Iginla, to name but a few of the fine athletes who form a part of Canada's sports heritage.
The first book to appear in the illustrious Oxford History of the United States, this critically acclaimed volume--a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize--offers an unsurpassed history of the Revolutionary War and the birth of the American republic. Beginning with the French and Indian War and continuing to the election of George Washington as first president, Robert Middlekauff offers a panoramic history of the conflict between England and America, highlighting the drama and anguish of the colonial struggle for independence. Combining the political and the personal, he provides a compelling account of the key events that precipitated the war, from the Stamp Act to the Tea Act, tracing the gradual gathering of American resistance that culminated in the Boston Tea Party and "the shot heard 'round the world." The heart of the book features a vivid description of the eight-year-long war, with gripping accounts of battles and campaigns, ranging from Bunker Hill and Washington's crossing of the Delaware to the brilliant victory at Hannah's Cowpens and the final triumph at Yorktown, paying particular attention to what made men fight in these bloody encounters.The book concludes with an insightful look at the making of the Constitution in the Philadelphia Convention of 1787 and the struggle over ratification. Through it all, Middlekauff gives the reader a vivid sense of how the colonists saw these events and the importance they gave to them. Common soldiers and great generals, Sons of Liberty and African slaves, town committee-men and representatives in congress--all receive their due. And there are particularly insightful portraits of such figures as Sam and John Adams, James Otis, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and many others. This new edition has been revised and expanded, with fresh coverage of topics such as mob reactions to British measures before the War, military medicine, women's role in the Revolution, American Indians, the different kinds of war fought by the Americans and the British, and the ratification

Veel leraren en leraren-in-opleiding voeren praktijkonderzoek uit in hun eigen schoolorganisatie. Het is de bedoeling dat zij op een systematische manier antwoorden zoeken op vragen die hun onderwijspraktijk oproept. Praktijkonderzoek in de school biedt hun een leidraad bij het voorbereiden en uitvoeren van dit praktijkonderzoek. Aan de hand van praktische voorbeelden en technieken vertalen de auteurs de basisprincipes van praktijkonderzoek naar het onderwijs. Dat doen zij vanuit een realistische visie op de waarde die het onderzoek kan hebben voor de school, de leraren en de leerlingen.In twee inleidende hoofdstukken wordt een algemeen beeld geschetst van praktijkonderzoek en de toepassing ervan in het onderwijs. Daarna volgen zeven hoofdstukken waarin telkens een van de kernactiviteiten van praktijkonderzoek centraal staat: oriÙnteren, richten, plannen, ontwerpen, verzamelen, analyseren en concluderen, en rapporteren en presenteren. Alle hoofdstukken worden afgesloten met oefeningen waarmee (aankomende) leraren hun onderzoeksvaardigheden kunnen trainen, individueel of in groepsverband.Praktijkonderzoek in de school kan gebruikt worden als handleiding bij het doorlopen van een volledige onderzoekscyclus of kan geraadpleegd worden bij het uitvoeren van een bepaalde kernactiviteit.

In 2003 voerde de Amsterdamse vastgoedmagnaat Willem Endstra, die bekend stond als witwasser voor zware criminelen,in het diepste geheim vijftien lange gesprekken met rechercheurs van de Criminele Inlichtingeneenheid (CIE) van de Amsterdamse politie. De op band opgenomen gesprekken werden om veiligheidsredenen gevoerd in een rondrijdende CIE-wagen, en worden dan ook wel 'achterbankgesprekken'genoemd, of de Endstra-tapes.Endstra sprak tegenover de CIE vrijuit over criminele connecties als Sam Klepper, Johnny Mieremet, Ronald van Essen, Mink Kok, en onthulde dat hij op grote schaal, voor tientallen miljoenen, werd afgeperst door voormalig Heineken-ontvoerder Willem Holleeder, alias de 'Neus'. Ookbeschuldigde hij de Holleeder-organisatie van een reeks liquidaties, en zei hij bang te zijn zelf ook uit de weg te zullen worden geruimd. Op 17 mei 2004, nog geen vier maanden na het laatste gesprek, werd Endstra daadwerkelijká geliquideerd.In januari 2006, na bijna twee jaar onderzoek, werd Holleeder aangehouden wegens afpersing. Belangrijkste bewijs: de Endstra-tapes,die in dit boek integraal worden afgedrukt met een inleiding van de Parool-verslaggevers Bart Middelburg en Paul Vugts. De Endstra-tapes vormen een uniek historisch document in degeschiedenis van de georganiseerde misdaad in Nederland. Ze geven ook een onthullend, soms ontluisterend inzicht in de manier waarop CIE-rechercheurs hun informanten 'runnen'.Bart Middelburg schreef bestsellers als De Dominee, De Godmother en Onderwereld-p.r.; Paul Vugts publiceerde eerder Hells Angels - motorclub of misdaadbende?

Curtain in two minutes...one minute! Curtain in one minute! Well, here goes. I have been waiting until the very last moment to put on these damn costume shoes. They are much too small and tight but they were the best we could get. As I bent down to begin the painful pulling and squeezing, I suddenly recalled another pair of ill-fitting shoes that I was compelled to wear a long, long time ago...Thus begins the military autobiography of Carl Milo Pergolizzi, of his days as a private or soldier drafted into the United States army. He recounts his many adventures and misadventures as a misfit, and does so with humour accompanied by occasional sarcasm. In the end, he is honourably discharged. His experience, like those of many million active duty soldiers, has remained with him, and is as vivid today as it was while faithfully serving Uncle Sam.
Een zwaluw maakt de lente niet maar een lente en zomer zonder zwaluwen zou een enorme verarming betekenen. De Boerenzwaluw en de Huiszwaluw zijn oorspronkelijk rotsbewoners die er in de loop van de menselijke evolutie in slaagden om gebruik te maken van menselijke bouwsels. De Oeverzwaluw zoekt zandige verticale oevers als nestplaats.

Sam McKinney has spent many of the best parts of his life on the water. In the middle of his life, he travelled up the Columbia and Snake rivers, down the Missouri, up the Mississippi and Illinois and on, ever eastward, to New York City. This memoir talks about these journeys.
Sam - a young and enthusiastic trainee teacher - asked the class, 'What is the difference between 7 and 6?'. Jo's hand shot up and he immediately responded, 'Well seven is all straight lines and sixes are all curly.' How can you help children to make progress in mathematical understanding? Children's mathematical misconceptions very often arise as a result of poor communication. This practical and innovative book presents a range of creative strategies to help teachers communicate effectively in the mathematics classroom, offering some new ways of presenting the fundamental concepts and principles of mathematics, and clearly demonstrating that the most effective form of communication is not always verbal. Each chapter focuses on a theme or concept central to the numeracy strategy, such as subtraction, shape and space, constructing and connecting 2D and 3D shapes, data-logging and graph interpretation, and mathematical reasoning. Each chapter supports teachers' subject knowledge as well as suggesting a range of communication strategies (e.g. speaking, listening, drawing, role play, and visual methods such as posters and ICT work) to help teachers and children to share and build on their understanding. All of the activities have been tried and tested in classrooms across Europe. Written by a team of highly experienced teachers, the book will be valuable reading for pre- and in-service teachers, teacher educators and anyone who has an interest in extending the ways children actively engage with mathematics. Teachers with EAL pupils in their class may find it of particular value in communicating mathematical concepts to those who find English difficult. The book is accompanied by a DVD which includes video clips of children at work in mathematics classrooms, software used in the project, copies of material from the book and additional activities.
