4 out of 5 stars A good reference.......2003-09-03

When I studied in University, I have a chance to use this book to finish term project. Later, I find I can not leave this book. This book is not suitable for the design. But it gives a lot of information for you to understand the design mannual.

                    Book Description

                    This book is for practicing science and math educators and researchers, including graduate students, science and math teachers, and other teachers interested in developing a sound theoretical and empirical basis for curriculum development and instruction grounded in what is known about how the brain works and develops.

                    The Neurological Basis of Learning, Development and Discovery is unique in that it
                    *links neural physiology and neural network theory with cognition and instructional practice;
                    *grounds the current emphasis on inquiry and constructivism in epistemological, philosophical and developmental theory;
                    *links neural network theory, learning theory, conceptual change theory, and scientific discovery to classroom practice;
                    *provides examples of scientifically-based research in education as a guide for science and math educators and graduate students;
                    *has examples of lessons that can teach discipline-specific concepts as well as provoke the development of general reasoning/argumentative skills;
                    *can be used in graduate-level courses in science education and in-service courses for science teachers.

                    4 out of 5 stars Great ideas, but poor execution.......2004-05-01

                    The idea behind this book is great - to discuss the neurological aspects of the brain, specifically with the goal of inferring implications for learning and teaching practices. To this end, the book does a good job of bringing together a wide array of information on neuroscience and cognitive science. The educational implications are not developed in detail, which is fine with me because the book is obviously geared to be useful to educators in general. In my opinion, this book excels at providing biological information which can inspire educators to devise and adapt new pedagogical activities.

                    However, there are some problems. First, and most glaringly, is the poor editing and production of the text. Entire paragraphs are repeated (e.g., pg 41 & 42), and many typos are made (e.g., pg 35). Secondly, Lawson utilizes some technical jargon without any real definitions or examples, making some of the material difficult for educators to understand. This is especially unfortunate since this may make the book unreadable, hence unusable, by educators. It wouldn't take much more work to dramatically improve the clarity of the presentation - even a simple glossary would be invaluable. I sincerely hope these issues will be addressed by future editions.

                    Finally, there is the issue of price. This is a VERY expensive book (about 40 cents per page!). So is it worth it? Ultimately, this depends on what you want out of the book. Personally, I don't think it is really worth the price since much of the info in the book can be found in Lawson's papers and other publications. It is nice to have such an array of information conveniently bound into a single volume, but I don't think this nicety is worth so much money - especially when the errors and problems mentioned above mitigate any value the book may have. On the other hand, the ideas in the book are generally well-presented and compelling, so this text can certainly be quite beneficial to educators.

                          5 out of 5 stars Effective refresher ... Efficient reference.......2007-01-07

                          I recommend this text to financial professionals I teach ... VERY helpful to clear the cobwebs several years after college!

                          3 out of 5 stars Great for more advanced courses...........2006-12-12

                          I bought this book as a study aid for my Elementary Statistics class. Although the book does give you many examples to help solve, it gets a little too complicated for a beginning statistics class. It became hard to sort through the things I needed to gain a basic understanding of the fundamentals of statistics. If you are needing this book for your job or a more advanced statistics course, I would recommend it, but it's one for the beginner to leave alone.

                          4 out of 5 stars Comprehensive Guide to Statistics.......2006-06-13

                          This excellent book provides a comprehensive look at statistical methods. It's a great reference guide with 19 chapters, each of which build nicely on one another.

                          Chapters 1 through 11 lay the foundation of statistical study and the reader should benefit greatly from this framework.

                          Specifically, Chapters 1 through 3 cover Variables and Graphs, Frequency Distributions and Mean-Median-Mode concepts. Chapters 4 through 6 move on to cover Standard Deviation, Skewness and Elementary Probability Theory. Chapter 7 then discusses Binomial, Normal and Poisson Distributions.

                          Chapters 8, 9, 10 and 11 delve into Sampling, Statistical Estimation, Statistical Decision and Small Sampling Theory.

                          The remaining chapters offer practical insights into such topics as Chi-Square test, Correlation Theory, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Time Series Analysis and Statistical Process Control. Much of this appears in the CFA curriculum and therefore is a worthy supplemental study.

                          True to its format, this Schaum's book helps readers via its question and answer format in each of its chapters. Going through these problems teaches and reinforces concepts taught in the first pages of each chapter in the book.

                          Great job authors! I'm hoping others will benefit from this book too.

                          4 out of 5 stars Schaum's Outline of Statistics.......2006-03-03

                          This is a handy desk guide to statistics for someone who needs a statistical referemce as part of their job but is not a statistician, ie, performance management, data preparation or other information analysis. I compared this book to many others and found it the most comprehensive.

                            Book Description

                            "This compact book is intended as a practical guide for students involved in research, and it fulfils that goal well. ...The chapter on 'The funding and sponsorship of research' is an excellent example of the author's willingness and ability to include relevant, sensitive and practical content that is often left out of texts on ethics. ...This is an easy book to read, it is concise and keeps to relevant content. ...It would make an excellent text for a course in research ethics and/or research methods, and it will also provide an excellent planning and self-review guide for a practising researcher." Higher Education Review

                            "The book is aimed primarily at higher education students in education and the social sciences who are conducting a (typically small scale) research project. That is not to say that the publication is of little value to the supervisors of such projects or to experienced researchers as a resource. ...the successful integration of a wide range of theoretical perspectives on ethics in the text is... one of the main accomplishments of this publication" RTI Resource Centre

                            This essential guide examines the ethical issues and questions which occur in university and professional research. The book helps both beginning and experienced researchers to identify ethical issues when they are conducting research, and attempt to resolve those issues.

                            * Examines ethical issues which arise throughout research, from the design stage through to data collection and analysis
                            * Investigates topical issues including consent, confidentiality, ethical questions in the dissemination of research
                            * Discusses ethical theories and how these may be applied towards resolving ethical problems
                            * Provides examples of ethical dilemmas and case studies throughout the text

                            Insightful, wide-ranging and accessible, this guide is an invaluable tool for both undergraduate and postgraduate students and professionals who research as part of their jobs.

                                  Interviews are increasingly a core part of life in commerce, the professions and in higher education, yet few people are aware of the many skills needed to be a good interviewer.

It includes chapters on interviewing children, adolescents, older people, people with disabilities, and interviewing across cultures and under situations of stress, as well as case studies, sample interviews, activities for students and chapter summaries.
