La metodología de la ciencia ha venido ocupándose fundamentalmente de aspectos tecnológicos desarrollando procedimientos cada vez más adecuados de recogida y análisis de datos. En cambio, ha prestado menor atención a los desarrollos conceptuales y teóricos. En esta obra se plantea la solución a esta situación mediante la integración de todas las nociones metodológicas existentes en un conjunto menor de otras nociones más generales. Su estructuración está inspirada en una concepción darwinista del método de la ciencia, en el que tras una sucesión de variaciones conceptuales se seleccionan las más adecuadas con las mayores garantías posibles de corrección o validez. Esta estructura podría facilitar un mejor conocimiento de tareas abandonadas sistemáticamente por la metodología, como la generación y limitación de los objetivos de las investigaciones, y potenciaría un mayor aprovechamiento de los logros del análisis de datos poniéndolos al servicio de objetivos y diseños de investigación mejor delimitados. Para facilitar la comprensión del contenido, el texto integra en nociones progresivamente más complejas otras expuestas previamente y, ante la dificultad que supone el carácter abstracto de la mayoría de las nociones metodológicas, en cada párrafo se desarrolla sólo una de ellas y se acompaña de otro párrafo, diferenciado tipográficamente, con ilustraciones y ejemplos que concretan dicha noción y ayudan a su comprensión. En todos los capítulos se mantiene una estructura similar de apartados y, al final del libro, se incluye un glosario de los términos técnicos utilizados traducidos a otros idiomas de nuestro ámbito cultural para favorecer una deseable unificación terminológica en el lenguaje técnico.

In 1996 Joseph LeDoux's The Emotional Brain presented a revelatory examination of the biological bases of our emotions and memories. Now, the world-renowned expert on the brain has produced with a groundbreaking work that tells a more profound story: how the little spaces between the neurons—the brain's synapses—are the channels through which we think, act, imagine, feel, and remember. Synapses encode the essence of personality, enabling each of us to function as a distinctive, integrated individual from moment to moment. Exploring the functioning of memory, the synaptic basis of mental illness and drug addiction, and the mechanism of self-awareness, Synaptic Self is a provocative and mind-expanding work that is destined to become a classic.

A CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title 2012! Critical Curriculum Studies offers a novel framework for thinking about how curriculum relates to students’ understanding of the world around them. Wayne Au brings together curriculum theory, critical educational studies, and feminist standpoint theory with practical examples of teaching for social justice to argue for a transformative curriculum that challenges existing inequity in social, educational, and economic relations. Making use of the work of important scholars such as Freire, Vygotsky, Hartsock, Harding, and others, Critical Curriculum Studies, argues that we must understand the relationship between the curriculum and the types of consciousness we carry out into the world.

“Wolf restores our awe of the human brain—its adaptability, its creativity, and its ability to connect with other minds through a procession of silly squiggles.” — San Francisco Chronicle How do people learn to read and write—and how has the development of these skills transformed the brain and the world itself ? Neuropsychologist and child development expert Maryann Wolf answers these questions in this ambitious and provocative book that chronicles the remarkable journey of written language not only throughout our evolution but also over the course of a single child’s life, showing why a growing percentage have difficulty mastering these abilities. With fascinating down-to-earth examples and lively personal anecdotes, Wolf asserts that the brain that examined the tiny clay tablets of the Sumerians is a very different brain from the one that is immersed in today’s technology-driven literacy, in which visual images on the screen are paving the way for a reduced need for written language—with potentially profound consequences for our future.
