Book Description
Seeking an escape from the restrictions and boredom of his life in California, college student Ben Sullivan moves to Rome for a semester abroad, where he and his flawed roommates abuse their newfound freedoms while pursuing reckless behavior in an effort to feel alive. While ostensibly studying history and architecture, Ben carouses across Europe, judging everything in his path and learning first hand what happens when young Americans get out from under their country's skirt to have some fun, and how the land which provides it is left to clean up the mess.

Mathematical Thinking and Problem Solving
Author: Alan H. Schoenfeld
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 113544093X
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
In the early 1980s there was virtually no serious communication among the various groups that contribute to mathematics education -- mathematicians, mathematics educators, classroom teachers, and cognitive scientists. Members of these groups came from different traditions, had different perspectives, and rarely gathered in the same place to discuss issues of common interest. Part of the problem was that there was no common ground for the discussions -- given the disparate traditions and perspectives. As one way of addressing this problem, the Sloan Foundation funded two conferences in the mid-1980s, bringing together members of the different communities in a ground clearing effort, designed to establish a base for communication. In those conferences, interdisciplinary teams reviewed major topic areas and put together distillations of what was known about them.* A more recent conference -- upon which this volume is based -- offered a forum in which various people involved in education reform would present their work, and members of the broad communities gathered would comment on it. The focus was primarily on college mathematics, informed by developments in K-12 mathematics. The main issues of the conference were mathematical thinking and problem solving.

Author: Elizabeth Pisani
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393068900
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 391
Book Description
A flame-throwing epidemiologist talks about sex, drugs, and the mistakes (dismal), ideologies (vicious), and hopes (realistic) of international AIDS prevention. When people ask Elizabeth Pisani what she does for a living, she says, "sex and drugs." As an epidemiologist researching AIDS, she's been involved with international efforts to halt the disease for fourteen years. With swashbuckling wit and fierce honesty, she dishes on herself and her colleagues as they try to prod reluctant governments to fund HIV prevention for the people who need it most—drug injectors, gay men, sex workers, and johns.Pisani chats with flamboyant Indonesian transsexuals about their boob jobs and watches Chinese streetwalkers turn away clients because their SUVs aren't nice enough. With verve and clarity, she shows the general reader how her profession really works; how easy it is to draw wrong conclusions from "objective" data; and, shockingly, how much money is spent so very badly. "Exhibit A": the 45 billion taxpayer dollars the Bush administration is committing to international AIDS programs.
