The Third Edition of Philosophical Foundations of Adult Education presents seven theoretical approaches to adult education: liberal, progressive, behaviorist, humanist, radical/critical, analytic, and postmodern. The book gives the historical grounding as well as the basic principles for each approach. In this edition each chapter has been revised and brought up to date. The chapter on radical adult education incorporates recent developments in radical education, phenomenology, feminist educational theory, and critical social theory. The book contains an entirely new chapter on postmodern adul

This updated edition of Selected Writings on Philosophy and Adult Education reflects developments in the field of adult education since Philosophical Foundations of Adult Education was originally published in 1984. Included in this edition are selections representing critical theory, phenomenology, and feminist theory. Further, new material reflecting more traditional philosophical traditions has been added, such as selections from Bloom’s The Closing of the American Mind, Nadler and Nadler’s Developing Human Resources, and Mezirow’s Fostering Critical Reflection in Adulthood

Snakes responsible for severe envenomations are considered a real public health problem, especially in tropical countries. Yet, snake venom, which is made up of hundreds of specific substances, is used more and more in biomedical research and as a diagnostic or therapeutic tool. This text first presents a synthesis of the principal discoveries on venoms and envenomations. Then paleontology and classification of snakes as well as the biochemistry and toxicology of venoms are simply and precisely described to explain the theoretical basis of the envenomation and its treatment. Knowing the biolog

The third edition of Adult Learning Methods, with revisions, updates, and six new chapters, provides the educator of adults with ways to understand and facilitate adult learning. It is a clearly written guide to understanding the complex aspects associated with techniques and methods of the teaching and learning encounter. The book is comprised of two parts. Part One, "Understanding and Facilitating Adult Learning," contains 8 chapters that examine such topics as characteristics of a good teacher, understanding adults as learners, philosophical and teaching style orientations, designing instru

This revision of Gas Tables not only endows its contents with a higher and more uniform degree of accuracy, but also extends and enhances its practical application. The most recent physical, molecular, and spectroscopic constants were employed in reevaluating the thermodynamic properties of air at low pressures, each of its component gases, and the combustion products of hydrocarbon fuels and several other gaseous substances. Because of the relevance to the energy industries, the thermodynamic properties for combustion products of hydrocarbon fuels with 100 percent theoretical air are included

Wheels Up: Airline Business Plan Development is unique because it concentrates specifically on the airline business rather than generic businesses. It incorporates features other plan books neglect. Modern trends are identified and discussed in detail to help the reader understand the importance of creating flexibility within the business plan. Flexibility is vital for an airline to be successful in today’s increasingly competitive environment. Failure to understand recent and future trends in a new aviation environment could lead to failure. This second edition is aimed at a variety

Compact Heat Exchangers is a compilation of experimental data on the basic heat transfer and flow friction characteristics of "compact" heat exchanger surfaces, i.e., surfaces with the characteristic of large area per unit of volume, used primarily in gas-flow applications where large surface area is a necessity. The data have a wide application, including space heating, spacecraft heat exchangers, aircraft heat exchangers, and cooling systems of all kinds. Besides the basic experimental heat transfer and flow friction data, Compact Heat Exchangers contains chapters on heat exchanger analysis
