The Fractal Dimensions of Rank-size DistributionsOur daily universe is rough and infinitely diverse. The fractal approach clarifies and orders these disparities. It helps us to envisage new explanations of geographical phenomena, which are, however, considered as definitely understood.Written for use by geographers and researchers from similar disciplines, such as ecologists, economists, historians and sociologists, this book presents the algorithms best adapted to the phenomena encountered, and proposes case studies illustrating their applications in concrete situations.An appendix is also provided that develops programs writISTEGeographyMathematicsFractalsGeographyMathematics.Fractals.910.01/514742Dauphiné André417449MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910825960803321Fractal geography4042753UNINA03119nam 22006855 450 991050428450332120250628110040.09783030839253303083925710.1007/978-3-030-83925-3(CKB)5340000000068484EBL6792520(AU-PeEL)EBL6792520(MiAaPQ)EBC6792520(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/72817(DE-He213)978-3-030-83925-3(ODN)ODN0010072635(oapen)doab72817(EXLCZ)99534000000006848420211025d2022 u| 0engur|n|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierPrinciples and Pedagogies in Jewish Education /by Barry Chazan1st ed. 2022.2021Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2022.1 online resource (103 p.)Description based upon print version of record.9783030839246 3030839249 Chapter 1.

An Educator's Creed.This book is aimed at Improving contemporary educational practice by rooting it in clear analytical thinking. The book utilizes the analytic approach to philosophy of education to elucidate the meaning of the terms: ‘education’; ‘moral education; ‘indoctrination”; ;’‘contemporary American Jewish education’’; ‘informal Jewish education”; ’‘the Israel experience’; and” Israel education”. The final chapter of the book presents an educator’s credo for 21st-century Jewish education and general education.
