Why does one talented individual win lasting recognition in a particular field, while another equally talented person does not? While there are many possible reasons, one obvious answer is that something more than talent is requisite to produce fame. The "something more" in the field of architecture, asserts Roxanne Williamson, is the association with a "famous" architect at the moment he or she first receives major publicity or designs the building for which he or she will eventually be celebrated. In this study of more than six hundred American architects who have achieved a place in architectural histories, Williamson finds that only a small minority do not fit the "right person–right time" pattern. She traces the apprenticeship connection in case studies of Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright, Henry Hobson Richardson, the firm of McKim, Mead & White, Latrobe and his descendants, the Bulfinch and Renwick Lines, the European immigrant masters, and Louis Kahn. Although she acknowledges and discusses the importance of family connections, the right schools, self-promotion, scholarships, design competition awards, and promotion by important journals, Williamson maintains that the apprenticeship connection is the single most important predictor of architectural fame. She offers the intriguing hypothesis that what is transferred in the relationship is not a particular style or approach but rather the courage and self-confidence to be true to one's own vision. Perhaps, she says, this is the case in all the arts. American Architects and the Mechanics of Fame is sure to provoke thought and comment in architecture and other creative fields.

Classroom role-playing simulations bring the drama of politics to life and enrich traditional learning by plunging students into the midst of historical or current events. Ben-Yehuda gives students and instructors the resources and confidence to embark on a careful enactment of scenarios that will inspire enthusiasm in participants and stick in the memory long after the curtain falls. The book includes in-depth discussions of three possible theatrical simulations: appeasement in 1938 Munich, the regional turmoil following the 1947 UN Palestine Partition decision, and the Syrian civil war and ongoing global confrontation with ISIS. It is appropriate for students in global studies courses at all levels.

Paced like a thriller and full of insider information on the history and science of Crime Scene Investigation, In Light of All Darkness embeds readers in one of the most famous true-crime stories of our generation—the kidnapping of Polly Klaas—a case as pivotal in the history of the FBI as the Unabomber or Oklahoma City bombing. On October 1, 1993, a 12-year-old girl was kidnapped at knifepoint from her bedroom in Petaluma, California, during a sleepover with two friends, while her mother slept soundly in the room next door. This rarest of all kidnappings—a stranger abduction from the home—triggered one of the largest manhunts in FBI history. Many Americans remember Polly's face, which appeared on the national news every night, on the cover of People magazine, and on more than 8 million flyers distributed as far as China. The emotional gravity of Polly’s story touched every agent, police officer, and forensic technician who worked on her case. Many of these investigators have never shared their stories—until now. New York Times bestselling author Kim Cross has written the first comprehensive account of what happened on that fateful night in October, as well as how the case forever transformed the Bureau’s approach to solving crimes. With unprecedented access to case files, crime scene photos, a videotaped murder confession, and inside sources, In Light of All Darkness follows the investigators who pieced together the evidence that led to the arrest and conviction of the kidnapper—and made the victim a household name and a girl who will never be forgotten.

Ein angemessenes Verständnis über Naturwissenschaften stellt eine Schlüsselkomponente naturwissenschaftlicher Grundbildung dar. Für die entsprechende unterrichtliche Gestaltung spielen die Vorstellungen der Lehrkräfte über Naturwissenschaften eine entscheidende Rolle und anwendbares Meta-Wissen gilt als zu erreichende Qualifikation im Lehramtsstudium. Im vorliegenden Forschungsprojekt wird im Rahmen von qualitativen Studien erhoben, welche Vorstellungen Lehramtsstudierende über `Chemie als Naturwissenschaft' besitzen und wie die Studierenden unterstützt werden können, ein fundiertes Verständnis zu entwickeln und dieses praktisch zu transformieren. Auf Grundlage der Ergebnisse wird ein Modul für die Lehrerbildung entwickelt, das den Weg bereitet, authentisch (über) Chemie zu unterrichten. An adequate understanding about science represents one key component of scientific literacy. Teachers' conceptions about science play a crucial role for the design of appropriate lessons and applicable meta-knowledge is considered as a qualification to be achieved during university teacher education. In this thesis, qualitative studies are conducted to evaluate which pre-conceptions about `chemistry as a science' teacher students possess and how students can be supported in developing an informed understanding as well as in practically transforming it. On the basis of the results a module for teacher education is developed which paves the way for authentic chemistry teaching.
