In 1915, a German meteorologist named Alfred Wegener came up with an idea. What if, he proposed, the continents moved around over the face of Earth? When Wegener published his thoughts, he was subjected to ridicule and professional blackballing. Entire scientific conventions were held for the purpose of debunking his ideas. Wegener died tragically in 1930, labeled a scientific crackpot.\nYet today nearly all of us have learned in school that not only do continents move around, but also that our planet is made up of tectonic plates whose motion causes earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, and even corresponds to cycles of climate change in Earth's history.\nWhat happened? How did this huge change in the way we perceive our planet, deemed the plate tectonics revolution, take place over a relatively short period of time?\nThe Story of the Plate Tectonics Revolution is a graphics-based book suitable for coloring that details the changes in ideas about Earth's history from the ideas of Alfred Wegener, to the technological developments of World War Two and the Cold War that allowed Harry Hess, Marie Tharp, Tuzo Wilson, Drummond Matthews, Fred Vine, and others to look at our planet in an entirely different way.\nThe Story of the Plate Tectonics Revolution contains timelines, comic book style panels, and review notes and activities to assist the reader in analyzing the incredible revolution in thinking that has led us to the way we view Earth's surface and the questions that still remain unanswered today. This book is suitable for anyone who wants to learn about a relatively complicated scientific story in an entertaining way whether the reader is a young adult or an adult with a youthful interest in learning.

Externship Pedagogy and Practice is an in-depth exploration of how to design, structure, evaluate, and teach law school externship courses. The book will be an essential resource for experienced and new externship faculty, law school administrators, and externship site supervisors.\nOne of the ways law schools have responded to the demand for more experiential education is by expanding externship courses and faculty. In recent years, dramatic changes in the use of technology in law practice and recognition of the impact of bias on the justice system have influenced legal education, including externship courses. Law schools are also considering how to better integrate their externship programs into their law school curriculum. While there are a number of excellent books on how to design and teach in-house clinical courses, to date there is no comprehensive book on best practices for designing and teaching externship courses. This book fills that gap.\nThe book starts by describing the essential characteristics of all externship courses and explaining the ABA Standards and other regulations governing externships. The next section focuses on program design, including types and locations of placements, credit hours, selecting and evaluating supervisors, establishing and assessing program learning outcomes, and designing individual courses. The third section focuses on teaching the externship course, with chapters on faculty-guided reflection, class topics for general and subject-specific courses, teaching techniques, and using online technology. 
Each of these chapters includes multiple examples of in-class and out-of-class assignments, discussion and reflection topics, and other tools for successful teaching. The final section is specifically geared towards externship site supervisors and describes best practices for supervision, feedback, and ethical duties. The book provides comprehensive guidance to ensure that both long-standing and relatively new externship programs and courses provide excellent learning experiences for students that are a high-quality component of a school's experiential curriculum.

"This book discusses every aspect of assessment from the broad topics of creating a culture of assessment and the institutional assessment process to the more specific topics of assessing student learning at the course and program levels and assessing teaching effectiveness. The book models assessment at the institutional level, the course level, and throughout the law school (experiential learning programs, legal writing courses, centers and concentrations, extracurricular activities, non-academic offices). In addition to explaining the assessment process generally and in a variety of specific contexts, this book provides example assessment documents and tools that law schools can adapt as necessary. Moreover, the book offers suggestions for law schools on peer, student, and self-assessment of teaching effectiveness, both formative (ongoing teaching development) and summative (personnel decisions). Administrators, new professors, and seasoned professors will find guidance and advice on all aspects of assessing teaching and student learning"--

The aspect that is most striking about Anthony Barry's collection of photographs is the pace of life which he captures so beautifully. His subjects, the ordinary people of Cork, are caught in completely natural poses, mostly unaware that they are being photographed. Cork people haggle on the Coal Quay, stare into space, queue for a bus, or watch the world go by from a street corner. It is most definitely a portrait of another time
