School Science Review This book reveals the huge potential of engaging pupils with their emotions in the classroom, and presents evidence that when pupils work in this way they become more co-operative and help each other to learn. The book explores how schools can move beyond a focus on cognitive attainment through an emphasis on affective engagement, to help pupils develop better relationships of all kinds and prepare them for adulthood in a fast-changing world. For teachers, the book tackles the important questions of: What is emotional literacy and emotional intelligence? How can teachers incorporate pupils’ emotional development into their lessons while nourishing and enhancing achievement? How is it possible to have a calm atmosphere in the classroom with pupils enjoying learning together? Engaging Education is the first book to link the issues of emotional literacy, equity and social justice, and the education of the whole child, thus providing the social and political context for emotional literacy. In connecting emotional literacy and equity with the structure of schooling, it establishes that co-educational schools can contribute to enabling boys and girls to relate to and understand each other. Based firmly on research, this innovative book gives teachers invaluable guidelines on what to concentrate on and what to avoid. It is key reading for teachers and trainee teachers as well as policymakers and all those concerned with education.

It is desired to construct a numerical prediction model of the physical processes of circulation in a fjord estuary. A brief review of meteorological and oceanographic modeling techniques is given. The importance of special coordinate systems and choice of grid schemes are discussed. The review of previous modeling work indicates that physical boundaries and the manner in which they are treated are likely to be major new problems to be solved in coastal models. A three dimensional ten layer model is proposed and a set of finite difference equations given. A simplification to a vertical-longitudinal fjord model is made and this set of equations are also given. (Author).

"Manning Clark is one of this country's most famous historians and certainly its most controversial. For much of the 200 odd years of white occupation, Australians lived with a fear that they had no history worth recounting - too young a country for a history, it was said. Until Manning Clark came along with his six volume A History of Australia in which, framed and narrated as epic, there unfolds the story we now tell ourselves with all its familiar staging posts: Cook, convicts, Rum rebellion, gold, the sheep's back, Burke and Wills, Federation, the glorious defeat at Gallipoli, and so on. And surfacing throughout that dramatic and sprawling account are incisive and colourful portraits of its great men with their tragic flaws: Phillip, Macquarie, Bligh, Wentworth, Henry Lawson. Such is the huge stage and the parade of characters that make up the Manning Clark history."--Provided by publisher
