Students taught with inquiry-based methods have been shown to make significant progress in their ability to formulate hypotheses, make proper assumptions, design and execute investigations, understand variables, record data, and synthesize new knowledge. The inquiry-based approach encourages curiosity and openness, and fosters a stronger sense of responsibility and satisfaction in the students who are taught with it. This text presents a series of experiments that are intended to serve as the solid basis for a first-year chemistry or physical sciences course, using an inquiry based approach. Each chapter provides: 1)instructions for an experiment; 2) teachers notes that give the instructor more in-depth information about the technical nature and intellectual objectives of the experiment; and 3) a sample lab report that provides representative data and lists a composite of sources of typical errors.

Dr. Sylvia Mader’s text, Inquiry into Life, was originally developed to reach out to science-shy students. The text now represents one of the cornerstones of introductory biology education. Inquiry into Life was founded on the belief that teaching science from a human perspective, coupled with human applications, would make the material more relevant to the student. This text, along with the Inquiry Into Life 15.1 edition, represent an ongoing project in the development of a continuously-updated textbook. As scientists and educators, the authors of this text are well aware that scientific discovery is a dynamic process. Fortunately, the advances in digital publishing are allowing authors to update content on an ongoing basis, which in turn is promoting the ability to update content on a regular basis. This text represents the prototype of those efforts

Beginning from the premise that academic writing is a conversation — a collegial exchange of ideas, undertaken in a spirit of collaboration to pursue new knowledge — From Inquiry to Academic Writing: A Practical Guide demystifies cross-curricular thinking and writing by breaking it down into a series of comprehensible habits and skills that students can learn in order to join the conversation.

Over the past twenty-five years, Bruno Latour has developed a research protocol different from the actor-network theory with which his name is now associated―a research protocol that follows the different types of connectors that provide specific truth conditions. These are the connectors that prompt a climate scientist challenged by a captain of industry to appeal to the institution of science, with its army of researchers and mountains of data, rather than to “capital-S Science” as a higher authority. Such modes of extension―or modes of existence, Latour argues here―account for the many differences between law, science, politics, and other domains of knowledge.“Magnificent... An Inquiry into Modes of Existence shows that [Latour] has lost none of his astonishing fertility as a thinker, or his skill and wit as a writer... Latour’s main message―that rationality is ‘woven from more than one thread’―is intended not just for the academic seminar, but for the public square―and the public square today is global as never before. ―Jonathan Rée, Times Literary Supplement“Latour’s work makes the world―sorry, worlds―interesting again.”―Stephen Muecke, Los Angeles Review of Books

First published in 1776, the year in which the American Revolution officially began, Smith's Wealth of Nations sparked a revolution of its own. In it Smith analyzes the major elements of political economy, from market pricing and the division of labor to monetary, tax, trade, and other government policies that affect economic behavior. Throughout he offers seminal arguments for free trade, free markets, and limited government. Criticizing mercantilists who sought to use the state to increase their nations' supply of precious metals, Smith points out that a nation's wealth should be measured by the well-being of its people. Prosperity in turn requires voluntary exchange of goods in a peaceful, well-ordered market. How to establish and maintain such markets? For Smith the answer lay in man's social instincts, which government may encourage by upholding social standards of decency, honesty, and virtue, but which government undermines when it unduly interferes with the intrinsically private functions of production and exchange. Social and economic order arise from the natural desires to better one's (and one's family's) lot and to gain the praise and avoid the censure of one's neighbors and business associates. Individuals behave decently and honestly because it gives them a clear conscience as well as the good reputation necessary for public approbation and sustained, profitable business relations.

Inquiry-Based Lessons in U.S. History: Decoding the Past (grades 5-8) provides primary source lessons that focus on teaching U.S. history through inquiry to middle school students. Students will be faced with a question to answer or problem to solve and will examine primary sources for evidence to create hypothetical solutions. The chapters focus on key chronological periods (e.g., the Age of Exploration to the Civil Rights era) and follow the scope and sequence of major social studies textbooks, with activities linked to the U.S. History Content Standards and the Common Core State Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies. The three lesson plans in each chapter begin with an essential question that sets the focus for the primary sources and teaching strategies that follow. The lesson plans include differing types of primary sources such as photographs, speeches, political cartoons, historic maps, paintings, letters, and diary entries.

Excerpt from An Inquiry Into the Integrity of the Greek Vulgate, or Received Text of the New Testament: In Which the Greek Manuscripts Are Newly Classes, the Integrity of the Authorised Text Vindicated, and the Various Readings Traced to Their OriginThe pernicious consequences to which those sys~ rams thus necessarily lead, will at least justify an Inquiry into the truth of the principles on which they are founded. And a very slight degree of observation is adequate to discover, that much mains to be proved in those theories, before We can admit them to be established, and that much is conceded on the part of the vulgar text, from which its integrity admits of the amplest vindication.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The abstract structure of inquiry - the process of acquiring and changing beliefs about the world - is the focus of this book which takes the position that the "pragmatic" rather than the "linguistic" approach better solves the philosophical problems about the nature of mental representation, and better accounts for the phenomena of thought and speech. It discusses propositions and propositional attitudes (the cluster of activities that constitute inquiry) in general and takes up the way beliefs change in response to potential new information, suggesting that conditional propositions should be understood as projections of epistemic policies onto the world.A Bradford Book.

Philosopher-psychoanalyst Luce Irigaray claims that all inter-subjective relations are subtended by sexual difference and that forgetting this is ignoring a foundational aspect of human relations. For her, sexual difference is the particular relation to the body and to language that structures inter-subjectivity. Ernesto Spinelli, a contemporary scholar-practitioner of existential phenomenological psychology is particularly attuned to the constitution of inter-subjectivity in therapeutic praxis. An analysis of his own therapeutic praxis reveals a blind spot in his work. This blind spot prevents him from realizing certain inter-subjective possibilities in his work with clients; namely, the possibilities afforded by articulating a specifically other. Using Irigaray, Aloysius Joseph makes the case that Spinelli?s therapeutic praxis can benefit from paying attention to a perceptual and a sensory economy that is rooted in the client?s sexuate body and history. He suggests that this will not only revitalize Spinelli's version of existential phenomenology but also continue to adhere to its objective of challenging the cultural assumptions of our time.
