The Restless Universe

Understanding X-Ray Astronomy in the Age of Chandra and Newton

Carl Sagan once noted that there is only one generation that gets to see things for the first time. We are in the midst of such a time right now, standing on the threshold of discovery in the young and remarkable field of X-ray astronomy. In The Restless Universe, astronomer Eric Schlegel offers readers an informative survey of this cutting-edge science. Two major space observatories launched in the last few years--NASA's Chandra and the European Newton--are now orbiting the Earth, sending back a gold mine of data on the X-ray universe. Schlegel, who has worked on the Chandra project for seven years, describes the building and launching of this space-based X-ray observatory. But the book goes far beyond the story of Chandra. What Schlegel provides here is the background a nonscientist would need to grasp the present and follow the future of X-ray astronomy. He looks at the relatively brief history of the field, the hardware used to detect X-rays, the satellites--past, present, and future--that have been or will be flown to collect the data, the way astronomers interpret this data, and, perhaps most important, the insights we have already learned as well as speculations about what we may soon discover. And throughout the book, Schlegel conveys the excitement of looking at the universe from the perspective brought by these new observatories and the sharper view they deliver. Drawing on observations obtained from Chandra, Newton, and previous X-ray observatories, The Restless Universe gives a first look at an exciting field which significantly enriches our understanding of the universe.

Integrating Brain Based Learning Into the College Composition Classroom

Due to the influx of greater access to and rising enrollments at four- and two-year institutions, there has been rapid diversification within the demographics of first-year students. Culturally, socially and intellectually, students are entering colleges with a dearth of knowledge and skills often neglected in favor of current-traditional instruction. The general impression by the leaders of these 'new' concepts remains that teachers fail to recognize the differences between the students within the classroom. Multiple recent studies have identified major learning preferences, across races as well as between genders (Kolb, 2000, Jensen, 2000, Flynn, 1998). Brain Based Learning offers an alternative for college composition instructors when approaching a classroom of students with multiple goals and varied abilities. As a relation of many education theories, like multiple intelligence theory and experiential education, it offers the flexibility of learning style education and appeal of MI theory while allowing for individualized learning like experiential education. Exploring the relation ships between Brain Based learning and other theories helps to authenticate the use of the theory in composition classes. A sample course syllabus using Brain-Based Learning within existing composition requirements is provided along with a PowerPoint presentation for use with training classes for prospective or current instructors.
