Beginning with Neanderthal man, it traces the evolution of human reason and understanding from paradoxes and optical illusions to gravitational waves, black holes and dark energy. On the way, it provides insights into the mind-boggling advances at the frontiers of physics and cosmology. Unsolved problems and contradictions are highlighted, and contentious issues in modern physics are discussed in a non-dogmatic way in a language comprehensible to the non-scientist. It has something for everyone. 606 $aPhysics$vPopular works 615 0$aPhysics 676 $a530 700 $aBarrett$b Ross$0809917 702 $aDelsanto$b Pier Paolo 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996466742303316 996 $aDon't be afraid of physics$92468854 997 $aUNISA LEADER 02673oam 2200493 450 001 9910153112003321 005 20230130160815.0 010 $a1-292-03824-1 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5174480 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5176486 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5138966 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5833271 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL5138966 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL527298 035 $a(OCoLC)1015858831 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000001126635 100 $a20210429d2014 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 12$aA first course in database systems /$fJeffrey D.

The authors provide in-depth coverage of databases from the point of view of the database designer, user, and application programmer, leaving implementation for later courses. It is the first database systems text to cover such topics as UML, algorithms for manipulating dependencies in relations, extended relational algebra, PHP, 3-tier architectures, data cubes, XML, XPATH, XQuery, XSLT.   Supplements:     Access Student and Instructor Resources at www.prenhall.com/ullman   Author Website (Open Access) ¿http://infolab.stanford.edu/~ullman/fcdb.html. 410 0$aAlways learning. 606 $aDatabase management 615 0$aDatabase management. 676 $a005.74 700 $aUllman$b Jeffrey D.$f1942-$09704 702 $aWidom$b Jennifer 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910153112003321 996 $aA first course in database systems$93644747 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03928nam 22006975 450 001 9910983335803321 005 20250225120729.0 010 $a9783031670312 010 $a3031670310 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-67031-2 035 $a(CKB)37702972800041 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC31919683 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL31919683 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-67031-2 035 $a(OCoLC)1504735676 035 $a(EXLCZ)9937702972800041 100 $a20250225d2025 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aMeanings of Manual Work in Radical Education $eThe Chore Curriculum /$fby Emily Charkin 205 $a1st ed. 2025. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer Nature Switzerland :$cImprint: Palgrave Macmillan,$d2025. 215 $a1 online resource (229 pages) 225 1 $aPalgrave Studies in Alternative Education,$x2946-5044 311 08$a9783031670305 311 08$a3031670302 327 $aChapter 1- Introduction -- Chapter 2- Useful Work: ?Straight out of a gulag? or ?finding a freedom? -- Chapter 3- Arts, Crafts and Invention: ?Antiquarian? or ?transformative? -- Chapter 4- Construction: ?To suit their needs? or ?building for the sake of building? -- Chapter 5- Manual Work and Radical Education: ?Waning? or ?their time is now? -- Chapter 6- Conclusions. 330 $aThis book aims to challenge and inspire readers with lived examples of alternatives to current paradigms in education, childhood and community, through new research into two important and neglected schools in the history of progressive and radical education. Kilguhanity and Wennington schools were both founded in the UK in 1940, and at both schools pupils and staff were extensively involved in the manual work of looking after and shaping the physical fabric of the community. The author uses these case studies to challenge the tendency to equate pupil participation with ?voice? and ?meetings?, and casts light on a fault line within the progressive and radical traditions. She then presents new challenges and perspectives to ongoing debates about education and childhood, unsettling the stalemate between liberal and traditional, and progressive and radical schools by uncovering a community-based alternative. The book offers a contribution to a growing body of contemporary research literature on progressive and radical education, alternative education, informal education and social pedagogy as well as across the disciplines of childhood studies, history, philosophy and geography. Emily Charkin researches and writes about the experiences of young people growing up in radical schools and communities. She also organises an Instead of School educational experiment for home-educating families at a community woodland in East Sussex, UK. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Alternative Education,$x2946-5044 606 $aAlternative education 606 $aEducation 606 $aChildren 606 $aSchools 606 $aHolistic education 606 $aAlternative Education 606 $aChildhood Education 606 $aSchool and Schooling 606 $aHolistic Education 606 $aExperiential Education 615 0$aAlternative education. 615 0$aEducation. 615 0$aChildren. 615 0$aSchools. 615 0$aHolistic education. 615 14$aAlternative Education. 615 24$aChildhood Education. 615 24$aSchool and Schooling. 615 24$aHolistic Education. 615 24$aExperiential Education. 676 $a371.04094109045 700 $aCharkin$b Emily$01786216 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910983335803321 996 $aMeanings of Manual Work in Radical Education$94317594 997 $aUNINA
