Educating Deaf Students: From Research to Practice considers what is known, what isn't known, and what should be known about the education of deaf students. Using a research-based approach, the authors evaluate the educational and research literatures with an eye toward systematic inquiry and generality of findings.

The relationship of language to cognition, especially in development, is an issue that has occupied philosophers, psychologists, and linguists for centuries. In recent years, the scientific study of sign languages and deaf individuals has greatly enhanced our understanding of deafness, language, and cognition. This Counterpoints volume considers the extent to which the use of sign language might affect the course and character of cognitive development, and presents a variety of viewpoints in this debate. This volume brings the language-thought discussion into a clearer focus, both theoretically and practically, by placing it in the context of children growing up deaf and the influences of having sign language as their primary form of communication. The discussion is also sharpened by having internationally recognized contributors, such as Patricia Siple, Diane Lillo-Martin, and Ruth Campbell, with specialties in varied areas, all converging on a common interest in which each has conducted empirical research. These contributors clarify and challenge the theoretical assumptions that have driven arguments in the language-thought debate for centuries. An introduction by the editors provides a historical overview of the issues as well as a review of empirical findings that have been offered in response to questions about language-thought relations in deaf children. The final chapters are structured in the form of "live" debate, in which each contributor is given the opportunity to respond to the other perspectives presented in this volume.

"This is a four-part publication designed to explain the effect of temperature and humidity on the rate of film degradation. It is a useful tool for evaluating and planning storage environments for all types of acetate base film, cinema film, and microfilm. Environmental specifications for film storage are covered, and the relationship between temperature, relative humidity, and the time it takes for "vinegar syndrome" (the slow, chemical decomposition of acetate plastics) to begin to affect fresh film is explained. Valuable quantitative data for the reader to use with his own collection is provided in three easy-to-use forms: a wheel (like a circular slide rule) with temperature/humidity data and corresponding film life expectancies, graphs, and a time-out-of-storage table"--Publisher's description.
