Modeling Spatial and Economic Impacts of Disasters (Advances in Spatial Science)
Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items: ASIN: 3540214496 |
Book Description
This book brings together a collection of innovative papers on strategies for analyzing the spatial and economic impacts of disasters. Natural and human-induced disasters pose several challenges for conventional modeling. For example, disasters entail complex linkages between the natural, built, and socio-economic environments. They often create chaos and economic disequilibrium, and can also cause unexpected long-term, structural changes. Dynamic interactions among agents and behavioral adjustments in a disaster become complicated. The papers in this volume make notable progress in tackling these challenges through refinements of conventional methods, as well as new modeling frameworks and multidisciplinary, integrative strategies. The papers also provide case study applications that afford new insights on disaster processes and loss reduction strategies.

Memory, Recall, the Brain & Learning: Improve Student Learning Outcomes By Engaging Learners in Visual & Nonlinguistic Strategies, Activities, & Organizers
Robert K. Greenleaf , and Doris Wells-Papanek Manufacturer: Greenleaf & Papanek Publicatioins ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 097678601X Release Date: 2005-03-31 |
Product Description
Memory, Recall, the Brain & Learning provides over 40 proven, practical, and easy to implement activities and 35 organizers to encourage your students to become engaged in the learning process while in your classroom. Brain research has evidenced unprecedented levels of attention in education and learning endeavors. We have come to understand that "learning" is not merely an exercise in storing information for artificially engineered tests. Our interest and intent have evolved to encompass the notions of recall, long-term memory, and applications ~ not to mention life-long learning habits. Our goal in teaching and learning must be to create environments and conditions in which learners are more likely to make greater attempts at processing sufficiently for understanding and application, resulting in increased long-term memory. This book seeks to explore in detail a vital aspect of learning and the brain that supports the acquisition of sustained understanding. This book merges brain science research and educational best practice. Two profound works underpin the foundation for the strategies provided ~ Dr. Barbara Given's work on the natural learning systems of the brain and Marzano, Pickering, and Pollock review of the nine most effective educational strategies leading to student achievement. Dr. Greenleaf is a public school educator of 20 years. He has served as a school administrator at all levels as well as a professional development specialist at Brown University. He currently conducts workshops and consulting services full time. www.greenleaflearning.com With 25 years of experience in design, software, and education, Doris Wells-Papanek designs tailored tools and coaches learners to achieve their goals, organize their time, tasks, and thoughts. She also consults with designers, corporations, and universities to integrate the end-user's mindset into the product development process.Customer Reviews:
