A New York Journal of Books Notable Children’s Book Funny childhood biographies and cartoon-style illustrations take us inside the lives of 15 scientific legends—when they were kids!—from Albert Einstein and Jane Goodall to Marie Curie and Neil DeGrasse Tyson. Every great scientist started out as a kid. Before their experiments, inventions, and discoveries that changed the world, the world’s most celebrated scientists had regular-kid problems just like you. Stephen Hawking hated school and preferred to spend his free time building model airplanes, inventing board games, and even building his own computer. Jane Goodall got in trouble for bringing worms and snails into her house. And Neil deGrasse Tyson had to start a dog-walking business to save up money to buy a telescope. Kid Scientists tells the stories of a diverse and inclusive group, including: • Temple Grandin • Nikola Tesla • Ada Lovelace • Benjamin Franklin • Isaac Newton • Rosalind Franklin • Sally Ride • Rachel Carson • George Washington Carver • Vera Rubin With whimsical illustrations bringing every caper, scrape, and sticky situation to life, this book is a fun, approachable introduction to the giants of the scientific world—and a perfect addition to libraries, classrooms, and kids at-home collections. “ . . . interesting, funny, and, most importantly, relevant to kids today.” —Geek Dad

ISBN: 0335224318

This book focuses on strategic staff development in higher education, a sector in which it has been largely viewed as an operational activity with little organizational relevance. The book demonstrates how staff development needs to be based on modern theories of 'organizational learning', aligning itself with institutional and departmental needs as well as the wants and needs of individual staff. The book takes a broad definition of staff development and seeks to cover all aspects of the academic role and the interests of all staff. The traditional focus on teaching and learning is covered but not to the exclusion of other aspects or the interface between different roles. In order to achieve a strategic focus, authors are drawn from a range of backgrounds, including senior staff with strategic leadership roles. The book is, therefore, directed to a wider readership than the community of staff development professionals and designed partly to challenge the dominant discourse and established priorities of staff developers. Towards Strategic Staff Development in Higher Education seeks to combine scholarly review of relevent literature with practical strategies and suggestions for the intended readership, principally senior staff, heads of department and staff development professionals.

"IN THE preparation of this book the author has tried to give an interesting account of the invention and workings of a few of the machines and mechanical processes that are making the history of our time more wonderful and more dramatic than that of any other age since the world began. For heroic devotion to science in the face of danger and the scorn of their fellowmen, there is no class who have made a better record than inventors. Most inventions, too, are far more than scientific calculation, and it is the human story of the various factors in this great age of invention that is here set forth for boy readers." -Preface
