Volume 2 of Bold Ventures provides detailed insights about five notable U.S. innovations in science education. The first study examines California’s ground-breaking curriculum framework, progressive statewide assessments and, particularly, opportunities for professional development of teachers. The second case looks at project 2061’s seminal publications and, especially, the processes used to develop them. Studies of Kids Network and Voyage of the Mimi illuminate what these innovations look like in elementary and middle school classrooms and discuss key adoption and implementation

Plastic surgeon Gareth Lloyd splits his time between repairing accident victims at local hospitals and trying--largely in vain--to persuade his private patients in a Los Angeles suburb to have the kind of expensive nips and tucks so popular in Beverly Hills. Divorced, behind in his support payments for his two daughters, and about to turn 40, Lloyd’s main connection to the glamorous side of plastic surgery is the affair he has just ended with the wife of a prominent facelifter-to-the-stars named Jack Ehrenberger. When Ehrenberger is murdered, Lloyd, of course, becomes one of the suspects

This book presents methods for analyzing data using parametric nonlinear regression models. Using examples from experiments in agronomy and biochemistry, it shows how to apply the methods. Aimed at scientists who are not familiar with statistical theory, it concentrates on presenting the methods in an intuitive way rather than developing the theoretical grounds. The book includes methods based on classical nonlinear regression theory and more modern methods such as the bootstrap that have proven effective in practice. The examples are analyzed with the software program nls2 implemented in S-PL
