Physics of the Human Body
by Richard P. McCallRichard P. McCall's fascinating book explains how basic concepts of physics apply to the fundamental activities and responses of the human body, a veritable physics laboratory. Blood pumping through our veins is a vital example of Poiseuille flow; the act of running requires friction to propel the runner forward; and the quality of our eyesight demonstrates how properties of light enable us to correct near- and far-sightedness. Each chapter discusses a fundamental physics concept and relates it to the anatomy and physiology of applicable parts of the body. Topics include motion, fluids and pressure, temperature and heat, speech and hearing, electrical behaviors, optics, biological effects of radiation, and drug concentrations. Clear and compelling, with a limited amount of math, McCall's descriptions allow readers of all levels to appreciate the physics of the human physique. Physics of the Human Body will help curious high school students, undergraduates with medical aspirations, and practicing medical professionals understand more about the underlying physics principles of the human body.

Piaget and Vygotsky in XXI century: Discourse in early childhood education (Early Childhood Research and Education: An Inter-theoretical Focus #4)
by Nikolay Veraksa Ingrid Pramling SamuelssonThe book provides a comprehensive analyses of Vygotsky’s and Piaget’s theories implementation in modern preschool education. It analyzes the problem of the relationship between the natural and the cultural in the context of Vygotsky and Jean Piaget theories. Their discourses complemented each other: whereas Vygotsky developed his theory in the direction from society (culture) to the individual child, Piaget’s movement was the opposite: from individual child to society. These two approaches confront modern world with the need to analyze the problem of childhood: is childhood a period of cultural exploration or is it a special form of relationship in which both the egocentrism and consciousness of the child, and the egocentrism and consciousness of culture are represented?Readers will gain insight into the methodology that makes possible to unite up-to-date views based on Vygotsky and Piaget theories on child development and education.
Piaget’s Genetic Epistemology for Mathematics Education Research (Research in Mathematics Education)
by Paul Christian Dawkins Amy J. Hackenberg Anderson NortonThe book provides an entry point for graduate students and other scholars interested in using the constructs of Piaget’s genetic epistemology in mathematics education research. Constructs comprising genetic epistemology form the basis for some of the most well-developed theoretical frameworks available for characterizing learning, particularly in mathematics. The depth and complexity of Piaget’s work can make it challenging to find adequate entry points for learners, not least because it requires a reorientation regarding the nature of mathematical knowledge itself. This volume gathers leading scholars to help address that challenge. The main section of the book presents key Piagetian constructs for mathematics education research such as schemes and operations, figurative and operative thought, images and meanings, and decentering. The chapters that discuss these constructs include examples from research and address how these constructs can be used in research. There are two chapters on various types of reflective abstraction, because this construct is Piaget’s primary tool for characterizing the advancement of knowledge. The later sections of the book contain commentaries reflecting on the contributions of the body of theory developed in the first section. They connect genetic epistemology to current research domains such as equity and the latest in educational psychology. Finally, the book closes with short chapters portraying how scholars are using these tools in specific arenas of mathematics education research, including in special education, early childhood education, and statistics education.

A Pianist’s World in Drawings
by Misha DichterOne of the world's foremost concert pianists, Misha Dichter is also a celebrated artist--who has documented his life and musical career in witty and insightful black and white sketches for over 40 years. Many of the drawings have appeared to high acclaim in New York art galleries, and in A Pianist's World in Drawings, the artist's complete body of work is now available to fans, art aficionados, and collectors for the first time. This collection provides readers with an astute and perceptive visual account of the artist's life onstage, on the road, and behind the curtain. The accompanying captions and anecdotes deliver a fascinating and humorous perspective on the life of a high-profile professional musician. Dichter's drawings have been compared to those of New Yorker artists Saul Steinberg and George Grosz, both of whom bring a perspective of playful satire to their work. Screenwriter Marshall Brickman writes, "Not content with being one of our premiere concert artists, Misha Dichter has the temerity also to be a brilliant graphic artist. His drawings display all the grace, wit, and sureness of style we've come to expect form his performances. He has captured his world in a series of keenly and often hilariously observed drawings filled with wry insight. This is a collection for lovers of both music and graphic art. Move over, Saul Steinberg - there's a new guy on the block." "Misha Dichter shakes his diligent classical piano training to 'play' freely in his drawings. The joy we feel looking at them is rooted in the pleasure he takes making them. They are his record of trips taken, important moments, and the music world he knows so well. The drawings share the playfulness of Paul Klee and Saul Steinberg mixed with the social commentary of George Grosz." --James Goodman "I always enjoyed Misha's drawings. I found them artistic and so clever. Every time I look at them I say 'Aha! So true!' These cartoons are timeless." --Itzhak Perlman ABOUT THE AUTHOR Misha Dichter's family is from Poland--but he was born in Shanghai in 1945, after his Jewish parents fled the country at the onset of World War II. A few years later the family moved to Los Angeles--where he began piano lessons at the age of six. He later enrolled in The Juilliard School, studying under Rosina Lhevinne, and won the Silver Medal in the 1966 Tchaikovsky Competition--launching an acclaimed international career. Today, Mr. Dichter has performed with almost every major orchestra in the world. His critically-applauded classical recordings with MusicMasters, Koch Classics, Philips, and RCA display a passionate and nuanced interpretation of Brahms, Liszt, Gershwin, Beethoven, Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky, Schumann, Schubert, and other master composers. His frequent duo-piano performances with his wife, pianist Cipa Dichter, take him to festivals and concert halls throughout Europe and North America. Their first recording together, a three-CD album of Mozart's complete piano works for four hands released under the Musical Heritage Society label, was named 2005 Record of the Year by Music Web International. Mr. Dichter is also an accomplished writer--having contributed articles to renowned publications including The New York Times.
