The collection is organized to form a dual approach: on the one hand, it offers a landscape view of the activities involved in assessment - examining how it works at institutional, program, and classroom levels; on the other, it surveys the implications of using assessment for formulating, maintaining, and extending the teaching and practice of technical communication. The book offers teachers, students, scholars, and practitioners alike evidence of the increasingly valuable role of assessment in the field, as it supports and enriches our thinking and practice. No other volume has addressed the demands of and the expectations for assessment in technical communication. Consequently, the book has two key goals. The first is to be as inclusive as is feasible for its size, demonstrating the global operation of assessment in the field. For this reason, descriptions of assessment practice lead to examinations of some key feature of the landscape captured by the term 'technical communication'. The second goal is to retain the public and cooperative approach that has characterized technical communication from the beginning. To achieve this, the book represents a 'conversation', with contributors chosen from among practicing, highly active technical communication teachers and scholars; and the chapters set up pairs of opening statement and following response. The overriding purpose of the volume, therefore, is to invite the whole community into the conversation about assessment in technical communication."--Provided by publisher.Baywood's technical communications series (Unnumbered)Communication of technical informationTechnical writingStudy and teachingElectronic books.Communication of technical information.Technical writingStudy and teaching.601/.4Allen Jo1947-Hundleby Margaret N.1940-FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910462137303321Assessment in technical and professional communication2115979UNINA02253nam 2200601 450 991080926820332120200520144314.097811189579361118957938(MiAaPQ)EBC7104283(CKB)24989727900041(MiAaPQ)EBC1879373(Au-PeEL)EBL1879373(CaPaEBR)ebr10992784(CaONFJC)MIL674980(OCoLC)885027086(JP-MeL)3000111089(Au-PeEL)EBL7104283(OCoLC)903891641(PPN)186271395(EXLCZ)992498972790004120140725d2015 uy| 0engur|||||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierChemical fundamentals of geology and environmental geoscience /Robin GillThird edition.Chichester, West Sussex :John Wiley & Sons, Inc.,2015.1 online resource (288 pages) illustrations (some color)Wiley desktop editionsPrevious edition: Chemical fundamentals of geology (London ; Glascow : Weinheim : Chapman and Hall, 1996).Includes bibliographical references and index.Energy in geochemical processes -- Equilibrium in geological systems -- Kinetics of earth processes -- Aqueous solutions and the hydrosphere -- Electrons in atoms -- What we can learn from the periodic table -- Chemical bonding and the properties of minerals -- Silicate crystals and melts -- Some geologically important elements -- What can we learn from isotopes? -- The elements in the universe.ChemistryEnvironmental geochemistryGeochemistryGeologyChemistry.Environmental geochemistry.Geochemistry.Geology.540.24/553450.13njb/09540.24/553njb/09Gill Robin1944-448212MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910809268203321Chemical fundamentals of geology and environmental geoscience3919992UNINA03472nam 22006493 450 99664783880331620251116153651.09783839474679383947467110.1515/9783839474679(CKB)36959451700041(MiAaPQ)EBC31861597(Au-PeEL)EBL31861597(OCoLC)1482268715(DE-B1597)735881(DE-B1597)9783839474679(ScCtBLL)43ca387d-f555-4e94-821a-aca443ec654b(EXLCZ)993695945170004120241230d2024 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierConflicts in Urban Future-Making Governance, Institutions, and Transformative Change1st ed.Bielefeld :transcript Verlag,2024.©2024.1 online resource (365 pages)9783837674675 3837674673 Frontmatter -- Contents -- 1.

Spotting tensions in urban greening experiments -- Appendix -- List of contributorsUnder conditions of heightened uncertainty, cities face enormous challenges in responding to contemporary crises. The contributors to this volume explore the conflictual dynamics that arise when urban futures are imagined, negotiated, and materialized. Through the lens of urban future-making, they provide a timely analysis of the conflicts that shape planning projects, architectural interventions, and new experiments in the built environment. Their analyses show how urban future-making is conditioned by conflicting governance arrangements, actor constellations, and power dynamics – offering rich insight into the critical role of professionals as key agents of urban transformation.SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / UrbanbisacshCity.Climate Change.Geography.Planning.Professionals.Social Geography.Sociology.Urban Experiments.Urban Futures.Urban Greening.Urban Studies.SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / Urban.Grubbauer Monika1792850Manganelli Alessandra1250258Volont Louis1461454Arndt Maria1782233MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996647838803316Conflicts in Urban Future-Making4331898UNISA
