These fields of study and their respective academic communities, whilst appearing to have many potential points of contact, remain surprisingly separate, with little apparent recognition of the relevance to the interests of each of the work done within the other tradition. Presenting detailed accounts of current research, the book highlights the significance of modern science studies for classroom practice and, conversely, the importance of the classroom and teaching laborat 410 0$aRoutledge library editions.$pEducation ;$vv. 235. 606 $aScience$xStudy and teaching (Elementary)$zGreat Britain 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aScience$xStudy and teaching (Elementary) 676 $a372.350440941 676 $a507.1041 701 $aMillar$b Robin$0899775 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452592103321 996 $aDoing science$92010363 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05699oam 2200745I 450 001 9910783071603321 005 20230421041915.0 010 $a1-134-89862-2 010 $a1-134-89863-0 010 $a1-280-16507-3 010 $a0-203-98035-2 024 7 $a10.4324/9780203980354 035 $a(CKB)1000000000003987 035 $a(EBL)241933 035 $a(OCoLC)437156247 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000178632 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11182178 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000178632 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10230365 035 $a(PQKB)10239114 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC241933 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL241933 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr2003848 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL16507 035 $a(OCoLC)826516267 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000003987 100 $a20180331d1992 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aIndustrial organisation $ecompetition, growth, and structural change /$fKenneth D.

The book is concerned with economic problems and policy issues that arise from the activities of firms. The authors reject the traditional micro-economic analysis of market structure in favour of studying conduct and performance in the context of macro-economic policy and the environ 606 $aIndustrial organization (Economic theory) 606 $aIndustries$zGreat Britain 606 $aIndustries$zEuropean Economic Community countries 606 $aIndustries$zUnited States 615 0$aIndustrial organization (Economic theory) 615 0$aIndustries 615 0$aIndustries 615 0$aIndustries 676 $a338.7/0941 700 $aGeorge$b Kenneth Desmond.$0116177 701 $aJoll$b Caroline$0116178 701 $aLynk$b E.
