Springer Nature Switzerland AG Story, Not Study: 30 Brief Lessons to Inspire
Book SynopsisMany researchers dread writing. They find it laborious - even painful - to put their scholarly work into words. They get bogged down in the study, and lose track of the story. And they produce uninspiring papers that fail to resonate with readers or reviewers. This book offers an antidote to this problem: brief, accessible lessons that guide researchers to write clear and compelling scientific manuscripts. The book is divided into three sections – Story, Craft, and Community. The Story section offers advice on getting the balance of study and story just right, introducing strategies for tackling each section of a scientific manuscript. The Craft section considers the grammatical and rhetorical tools of the trade, showing how they can be wielded for maximum impact. And the Community section offers suggestions for writing collaboratively, supporting other writers, and navigating peer review. Each section features multiple short and pragmatic lessons, peppered with illustrative examples. Readers can use the chapters collectively to build holistic writing skills, or dip in and out to refine specific elements of the craft. Rooted in a coaching philosophy, we aim to unlock our readers’ potential as writers through instruction, reflection, and example. And we hope to inspire researchers to face writing with joy. This work is clearly written and easily understandable. Its many practical examples, tools, and exercises make an effective toolbox of support for scholarly writers. This will be invaluable to new scholars and help established scholars as well. The inclusion of examples specific to the health arena and the clear, elegantly simple explanations add strength and relevance to this work.Toni Ungaretti, Johns Hopkins School of Education, Baltimore, MD, USA This book is the most original perspective I have ever read about the craft of writing.

Macat International Limited An Analysis of Kenneth Waltz's Theory of
Book SynopsisKenneth Waltz’s 1979 Theory of International Politics is credited with bringing about a “scientific revolution” in the study of international relations – bringing the field into a new era of systematic study. The book is also a lesson in reasoning carefully and critically. Good reasoning is exemplified by arguments that move systematically, through carefully organised stages, taking into account opposing stances and ideas as they move towards a logical conclusion. Theory of International Politics might be a textbook example of how to go about structuring an argument in this way to produce a watertight case for a particular point of view.Waltz’s book begins by testing and critiquing earlier theories of international relations, showing their strengths and weaknesses, before moving on to argue for his own stance – what has since become known as “neorealism”. His aim was “to construct a theory of international politics that remedies the defects of present theories.” And this is precisely what he did; by showing the shortcomings of the prevalent theories of international relations, Waltz was then able to import insights from sociology to create a more comprehensive and realistic theory that took full account of the strengths of old schemas while also remedying their weaknesses – reasoning out a new theory in the process.Table of ContentsWays in to the Text Who was Kenneth Waltz?

Oxford University Press How to Study for a Mathematics Degree
Book SynopsisThis no-nonsense book translates mathematics education research-based insights into practical advice for a student audience. It covers every aspect of studying for a mathematics degree, from the most abstract intellectual challenges to the everyday business of interacting with lecturers and making good use of study time.Trade Reviewone of the best books that a budding mathematician could read before going to university ... they will have a distinct advantage over those who don't bother to read it ... it is a very good and enjoyable read * Graham Storr, The Mathematical Gazette *Alcock's work will definitely join my list of recommended books for maths undergraduates during their first year. * Noel-Ann Bradshaw, Times Higher Education *I would recommend this book to all students who are starting their studies of Mathematics as a major, but also those who are still in school and thinking about their choice of university subjects. It is a small, useful book. * Zuzana Hucki, London Mathematical Society *I do recommend this book - it is an excellent source of information and advice for new and existing students about what to expect from a typical mathematics degree, and how and why they should be prepared. * Ken P. O'Neill AMIMA, Mathematics Today *I suspect anyone reviewing this book will say they wished it had been available back in their day (indeed, the two quotes on the cover of my copy do exactly that). I, however, will go slightly further and say that not only do I wish this book had been available ten years ago, I also wish I would have had the sense to read it. The time between finishing school and starting university is short, and in all the excitement of buying your own kettle and secretly thinking how much you'll miss your old bedroom, it's easy to forget the main reason you're going. Reading one maths book won't ruin your whole summer (I hope!), and How to Study for a Mathematics Degree is a fairly short and rather enjoyable read which could give you a head-start in university life that pays off for years to come. * Michael Wallace, Significance *I wish I had a book like this 20 years ago. It would have helped me manage my time and learn a lot more than I did at that age! * Dr Magdalena D. Toda, Director of Undergraduate Studies Dept. of Mathematics and Statistics, Texas Tech University, USA *This is an excellent book, which will be of great value to any sixth-former intending to embark on a mathematics-related university course, as well as to undergraduates already doing so. I cannot imagine a better book than this one for helping students to bridge the school-university gap. It would make an excellent gift for anyone thinking of studying mathematics at university and it belongs on every university reading list and in every school and university library. * Colin Foster, July Mathematical Gazette *Making the transition from school-level to University-level mathematics is hard, in terms of the complexity of the subject matter, the rigour of thought, and the need to be able to study much more independently. This excellent and wide-ranging book engages with all these issues and more, giving a very helpful insight into what is coming for beginning undergraduates in mathematics or mathematics-related disciplines. I just wish this book had been available in my day! * Dr Geoff Tennant, Senior Lecturer in Mathematics Education, Institute of Education, University of Reading, UK *Great advice for students who want to study math. Actually, good advice for all students. And, good advice for adults and professionals too. Alcock's straightforward writing style and practical tips make the tallest mountains seem climbable with small steps. * Matthew Leingang, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University *Table of ContentsPART 1: MATHEMATICS; PART 2: STUDY SKILLS

Taylor & Francis Thinking Critically about Research
Book SynopsisWe live in an age of unprecedented access to information. The last decade has seen an exponential growth in data and material available, often at the touch of a button. However, this has also made it harder to discern between fact and fiction. What is real and what is fake?

The book is designed to help readers develop a critical understanding of evidence and the ways in which evidence is presented, and to challenge the information they receive in both academic and non-academic sources. The author presents a step-by-step approach with a focus on knowing methods, culminating in a bespoke âcritical tool kitâ which offers a practical checklist designed to be used when carrying out research.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Doing History
Book SynopsisDoing History bridges the gap between the way history is studied in school or as represented in the media and the way it is studied at university level.History as an academic discipline has dramatically changed in recent decades and has been enhanced by ideas from other disciplines, the influence of postmodernism and historians’ incorporation of their own reflections into their work. Doing History presents the ideas and debates that shape how we ‘do’ history today, covering arguments about the nature of historical knowledge and the function of historical writing, whether we can ever really know what happened in the past, what sources historians depend on, and the relative value of popular and academic histories. This revised edition includes new chapters on public history and activist histories. It looks at global representations of the past across the centuries, and provides up-to-date suggestions for further reading, presenting the readerTrade Review"Doing History reflects the deep partnership Mark Donnelly and Claire Norton have brokered between history in universities and schools, and in the wider community.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Dominant Discourses in Higher Education
Book SynopsisThis book examines the dominant discourses in higher education. From the moment teachers enter higher education, they are met with dominant discourses that are often adopted uncritically, including concepts such as teaching excellence, student voice, and student engagement. Teachers are also met with simplistic binaries such as teaching vs. research, quantitative vs. qualitative research, and constructivists vs. positivists. Kinchin and Gravett suggest that this may present a distorted view, contributing to the disconnect between the aims and observable practice of higher education. Rather than celebrating difference, dominant discourses tend to seek similarities in an attempt to simplify and manage the environment. In this book, the authors share their belief that teaching and learning should be a thoughtful endeavour. Thinking with a breadth of theories, the authors explore the overlaps between different perspectives in order to offer a richer and more inclusive interrogation of thTrade ReviewAnyone concerned about the current state and future direction of teaching and learning in higher education should gain a great deal from this book, even if they don't agree with all of it. Ian and Karen have done us all a service in distilling contemporary methodological and theoretical thinking, and in demonstrating its relevance. * Malcolm Tight, Professor of Higher Education, Educational Research, Lancaster University, UK *This book is accomplished, provocative, and inspiring. It should act as a call to arms to all of us working, studying or just interested in higher education to re-think, reframe, challenge or resist those dominant discourses which frame academia’s teaching and learning practices, especially those which left unchallenged may be antithetical to the achievement of fairness, social justice or widening participation. * Jacqueline Stevenson, Professor of Sociology of Education, University of Leeds, UK *Kinchin and Gravett provoke us to go between and beyond accepted binaries in higher education research and scholarship. Through theory, research and reflections on practice they aim to disorient and disrupt comforting dichotomies, but also offer a map to think, and do, higher education more reflectively. * Camille Kandiko Howson, Associate Professor of Education, Centre for Higher Education Research and Scholarship, Imperial College London, UK *Table of ContentsList of Illustrations Foreword, Catherine Manathunga (University of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia) Part I: Considering the Landscape 1.

I’ve used the First edition of The Student Phrase Book extensively as a desk companion, recommended it to university and college colleagues and given copies of it to all members of my family heading off to be students, so I am delighted to endorse this new edition of the book which is even more useful. What I really value is the way it demystifies the complex discourses of ‘academese’ so that anyone who feels out of their depth with some of the terminology can find reassurance and explanation within it. Using down-to-earth language to explain contested topics like ‘critical evaluation’ and ‘deconstruction’, Jeanne also provides really accessible examples showing good and ‘not-yet-good’ usage.
