Learning to Labour How Working Class Kids Get Working Class Jobs This book which has now established itself as a classic study of working class boys describes how Paul Willis followed a group of 'lads' as they passed through the last two years of school and into work. The book explains that for 'the lads' it is their own culture which blocks teaching and prevents the realisation of liberal education aims. This culture exposes some of the contradictions within these formal aims and actually supplies the operational criteria by which a future in wage labour is judged. Paul Willis explores how their own culture can guide working class lads on to the shop floor. This is an uncompromising book which has provoked considerable discussion and controversy in educational circles throughout the world - it has been translated into Finnish German French Swedish Japanese and Spanish. | Learning to Labour How Working Class Kids Get Working Class Jobs GBP 180.00 1

Learning and Behavior Learning and Behavior reviews how people and animals learn and how their behaviors are changed because of learning. It describes the most important principles theories controversies and experiments that pertain to learning and behavior that are applicable to diverse species and different learning situations. Both classic studies and recent trends and developments are explored providing a comprehensive survey of the field. Although the behavioral approach is emphasized many cognitive theories are covered as well along with a chapter on comparative cognition. Real-world examples and analogies make the concepts and theories more concrete and relevant to students.

The Turkic Languages The Turkic languages are spoken today in a vast geographical area stretching from southern Iran to the Arctic Ocean and from the Balkans to the great wall of China. There are currently 20 literary languages in the group the most important among them being Turkish with over 70 million speakers; other major languages covered include Azeri Bashkir Chuvash Gagauz Karakalpak Kazakh Kirghiz Noghay Tatar Turkmen Uyghur Uzbek Yakut Yellow Uyghur and languages of Iran and South Siberia. The Turkic Languages is a reference book which brings together detailed discussions of the historical development and specialized linguistic structures and features of the languages in the Turkic family. Seen from a linguistic typology point of view Turkic languages are particularly interesting because of their astonishing morphosyntactic regularity their vast geographical distribution and their great stability over time. This volume builds upon a work which has already become a defining classic of Turkic language study. The present thoroughly revised edition updates and augments those authoritative accounts and reflects recent and ongoing developments in the languages themselves as well as our further enhanced understanding of the relations and patterns of influence between them. The result is the fruit of decades-long experience in the teaching of the Turkic languages their philology and literature and also of a wealth of new insights into the linguistic phenomena and cultural interactions defining their development and use both historically and in the present day. Each chapter combines modern linguistic analysis with traditional historical linguistics; a uniform structure allows for easy typological comparison between the individual languages. Written by an international team of experts The Turkic Languages will be invaluable to students and researchers within linguistics Turcology and Near Eastern and Oriental Studies. GBP 325.00 1
Spatial Dynamics and Pattern Formation in Biological Populations The book provides an introduction to deterministic (and some stochastic) modeling of spatiotemporal phenomena in ecology epidemiology and neural systems. A survey of the classical models in the fields with up to date applications is given. The book begins with detailed description of how spatial dynamics/diffusive processes influence the dynamics of biological populations. These processes play a key role in understanding the outbreak and spread of pandemics which help us in designing the control strategies from the public health perspective. A brief discussion on the functional mechanism of the brain (single neuron models and network level) with classical models of neuronal dynamics in space and time is given. Relevant phenomena and existing modeling approaches in ecology epidemiology and neuroscience are introduced which provide examples of pattern formation in these models. The analysis of patterns enables us to study the dynamics of macroscopic and microscopic behaviour of underlying systems and travelling wave type patterns observed in dispersive systems. Moving on to virus dynamics authors present a detailed analysis of different types models of infectious diseases including two models for influenza five models for Ebola virus and seven models for Zika virus with diffusion and time delay. A Chapter is devoted for the study of Brain Dynamics (Neural systems in space and time). Significant advances made in modeling the reaction-diffusion systems are presented and spatiotemporal patterning in the systems is reviewed. Development of appropriate mathematical models and detailed analysis (such as linear stability weakly nonlinear analysis bifurcation analysis control theory numerical simulation) are presented. Key Features Covers the fundamental concepts and mathematical skills required to analyse reaction-diffusion models for biological populations. Concepts are introduced in such a way that readers with a basic knowledge of differential equations and numerical methods can understand the analysis. The results are also illustrated with figures. Focuses on mathematical modeling and numerical simulations using basic conceptual and classic models of population dynamics Virus and Brain dynamics. Covers wide range of models using spatial and non-spatial approaches. Covers single two and multispecies reaction-diffusion models from ecology and models from bio-chemistry. Models are analysed for stability of equilibrium points Turing instability Hopf bifurcation and pattern formations. Uses Mathematica for problem solving and MATLAB for pattern formations. Contains solved Examples and Problems in Exercises. The Book is suitable for advanced undergraduate graduate and research students. For those who are working in the above areas it provides information from most of the recent works. The text presents all the fundamental concepts and mathematical skills needed to build models and perform analyses. | Spatial Dynamics and Pattern Formation in Biological Populations GBP 205.00 1
