Tuition Rising
Harvard University Press | 2000 | 320 Pages | ISBN: 0674003284 | PDF | 2 MB
What makes Tuition Rising so valuable and so much fun is its combination of facts, analysis, and administrative war stories. So, for instance, the importance to a college of national rankings, like U.S. News and World Report, is supported by careful econometric analysis (kept in the background, as are all technical jargon and argument), put under a microscope to understand the reasons for their often-quirky rankings, and then followed into Cornell's business school to see how 'managing to the rankings'--the collegiate version of 'teaching to the test'--can make sensible university-wide administration very difficult.
Why is college so expensive? Ronald Ehrenberg has an answer. The short version: Elite universities want to excel at everything they do, and excellence is expensive. The complete answer would fill a book. In fact, it has. Ehrenberg's Tuition Rising: Why College Costs So Much exposes the forces that drive up tuition and reveals how hard it is for administrators to slow the ascent. (Cornell Magazine )

Children's Ideas in Science
Open University Press | 1985 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 0335150403 | PDF | 3 MB
Children arrive in their science classrooms with their own ideas and interpretations of the phenomena they are to study even when they have received no systematic instruction in these subjects whatsoever. These ideas and interpretations are a natural result of everyday experience - of practical physical activities, of talking with other people, and of the media.
This book documents and explores the ideas of school students (aged 10-16) about a range of natural phenomena such as light, heat, force and motion, the structure of matter and electricity. It also examines how students' conceptions change and develop with teaching.
The editors have brought together science educators who come from different parts of the work but whose work is focused on the same determination to bring insight into the conceptual world of children in science classrooms - insight which will be helpful in making science teaching and learning more rewarding for teachers and children alike.

Effective Classroom Teacher
Prentice-Hall | 2003 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 0273663267 | PDF | 3 MB
All teachers are now having to cope with rapid changes and the wide-reaching implications of educational reforms.

This is the book that will help to put the reader at the front end of these changes. It will assist classroom teachers to adapt their working patterns to the new learning order. It will assist those who are studying these processes, e.g. to gain higher degrees and other qualifications with a pedagogical bias.

Adrian Greaves - Isandlwana
Adrian Greaves - Isandlwana
Cassell | 2002 | ISBN: 0304357006 | 212 pages | PDF | 45.62 MB
The Zulu handed the British one of the biggest disasters in their colonial history. Ignoring orders to the contrary, Viscount Chelmsford led his troops into Zululand in 1879, establishing a camp at Islandlwana. But, while Chelmsford and about half his men were away trying to intercept a Zulu force, the camp was hit by a surprise attack. When the Viscount returned the next day, the area was strewn with bodies: of the 1600 troops, all but 55 Europeans and 300 natives had been killed. Armed with new information from recent excavation of the battle site, and important never-before-published documents, Adrian Greaves challenges all previous interpretations of the attack that proved once and for all that the British army was not invincible.
