In this classic argument for curriculum reform in early education, Jerome Bruner shows that the basic concepts of science and the humanities can be grasped intuitively at a very early age. He argues persuasively that curricula should he designed to foster such early intuitions and then build on them in increasingly formal and abstract ways as education progresses. Bruner's foundational case for the spiral curriculum has influenced a generation of educators and will continue to be a source of insight into the goals and methods of the educational process.

This highly successful basic text concentrates on the struggle for power and order in world affairs. Clearly organized and written in a vivid, engaging style, The Might of Nations provides exceptional breadth and depth of coverage of world politics since 1945.

Brand new, still in the plastic.

A comprehensive look at learning and generalization theory. The statistical theory of learning and generalization concerns the problem of choosing desired functions on the basis of empirical data. Highly applicable to a variety of computer science and robotics fields, this book offers lucid coverage of the theory as a whole. Presenting a method for determining the necessary and sufficient conditions for consistency of learning process, the author covers function estimates from small data pools, applying these estimations to real-life problems, and much more.

This is the largest collection of limericks ever published, erotic or otherwise. Of the 2750 printed here, none is otherwise. The limerick is the only fixed poetic form native to the English language. "Hickory Dickory Dock" was a limerick remember?), but that was the last time the limerick ever saw a nursery. Don Marquis is reported to have divided limericks into three kinds: "Limericks to be told when ladies are present, limericks to be told when ladies are absent and clergymen are present, and LIMERICKS." Ladies have changed, and so have clergymn, but the LIMERICK, as this collection will attest, is authentic erotic folklore at its most ribald. Arnold Bennett said, in the 1920s, that the best limericks were entirely unprintable. Until now, we might add. For here are printed, for the first time, 2750 NEW LIMERICKS (plus another 100 in the Notes) most of which have never before seen the light of day. From aardvarks to yaks and zebras, every error of mankind-and womankind-is celebrated here in verses of five hilarious yet pathetic lines. Wild, witty, sad and outrageous: Read 'em and weep! Nothing is repeated from THE LIMERICK (First Series) and for good measure an entirely new subject is now presented for the first time, the Science Fiction Limericks that so neatly sum up our Interplanetary Age, still with the same age-old aspirations and inspirations, by means of which the unpardonable now commit the unmentionable. The limerick is the bawdiest thing to happen to an ancient literary form since graffiti were found in Pompeii. Clean limericks were a fad in the mid-1800s, and lasted only five years. Few of them will be found here. But there's an index of Geographical and Personal names, so you can find your real favorites, and a list of subjects, from Buggery to Zoophily and beyond. If you have a favorite, it's here. If you don't have a favorite yet, you soon will.

The Genie in the Bottle makes science downright fun. Dr. Joe Schwarcz blends quirky anecdotes about everyday chemistry with engaging tales from the history of science. Get a different twist on licorice and travel to the dark side of the sun. Control stinky feet and bend spoons and minds. Learn about the latest on chocolate research, flax, ginkgo biloba, magnesium, and blueberries. Read about the ups of helium and the downs of drain cleaners. Find out why bug juice is used to color ice cream, how spies used secret inks, and how acetone changed the course of history. It's all there! "Dr. Joe" also solves the mystery of the exploding shrimp and, finally, he lets us in on the secret of the genie in the bottle.

Untouched By Human Hands... ...are the stacks of boxes confronting two starving explorers on an alien world. Some of their contents are digestible--and some of them are hungry! ...are the "surplus female" pens of a distant planet--where wife killing is required by law, and mendacity is an act worse than death. ...is the Altar of Baz-Matain--until it appears in New Jersey, just north of Hoboken. ...is filled with fear, surprise, ruthless humor and an almost fanatical devotion to delight, as Robert Sheckley, the greatest science-fantasy writer of recent years, reaches out his hands to you.

[This book] ... is a comprehensive treatise on economic science that would lay the foundation for a massive shift in intellectual opinion that is still working itself out fifty years after publication. Not even such milestones in the history of economic thought as Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations, Alfred Marshall's Principles, Karl Marx's Capital, or John Maynard Keynes's General Theory can be said to have such enduring significance and embody such persuasive power that today's student and scholars, as much as those who read it when it first appeared, are so fully drawn into the author's way of thinking. For this reason ... this Scholar's Edition is the original 1949 magnum opus that represents such a critical turning point in the history of ideas, reproduced (with a 1954 index produced by Vernelia Crawford) for the fiftieth anniversary of its initial appearance ...

"For this volume - an SFBC Creation - Silverberg asked some of today's best sf writers to take a fresh look at this inexhaustible theme, and they came up with a collection of dazzlingly original tales. All the novellas here encapsulate the star-faring theme with an intriguing twist: characters in transit between worlds are undergoing internal transitions as well. In Stephen Baxter's eponymous lead story, a virtual messiah takes advantage of a desperate refugee's pleas for help to get himself transferred off-world for a jaunt to Galaxy's Core and a new life.".

Real Analysis is the third volume in the Princeton Lectures in Analysis, a series of four textbooks that aim to present, in an integrated manner, the core areas of analysis. Here the focus is on the development of measure and integration theory, differentiation and integration, Hilbert spaces, and Hausdorff measure and fractals. This book reflects the objective of the series as a whole: to make plain the organic unity that exists between the various parts of the subject, and to illustrate the wide applicability of ideas of analysis to other fields of mathematics and science. After setting forth the basic facts of measure theory, Lebesgue integration, and differentiation on Euclidian spaces, the authors move to the elements of Hilbert space, via the L2 theory. They next present basic illustrations of these concepts from Fourier analysis, partial differential equations, and complex analysis. The final part of the book introduces the reader to the fascinating subject of fractional-dimensional sets, including Hausdorff measure, self-replicating sets, space-filling curves, and Besicovitch sets. Each chapter has a series of exercises, from the relatively easy to the more complex, that are tied directly to the text. A substantial number of hints encourage the reader to take on even the more challenging exercises.
