WOW lessons are designed for infusion into the existing science curriculums for college freshmen and advanced high school students. The lessons use the aquatic environment and real lake data to explore basic science concepts through two different approaches: a directed study “Studying” and an inquiry “Investigating” approach. The directed studies allow students to apply and learn concepts through direct, guided experience. The inquiry lessons provide a more open-ended opportunity for stu

La Cité de Dieu, après-demain ? (video)
Quand Rome est mise à sac le 24 août 410, des voix se lèvent s’interrogeant sur les raisons d’un tel désastre et sur le devenir de Rome. Demain qu’adviendra t-il de la Roma aeterna ? Déconcerté par ce pillage et soucieux d’éclairer les jugements, Saint Augustin décide alors de mener à bien son projet déjà ancien de composer une fresque théologique.
Il compose ainsi La cité de Dieu, œuvre qui oppose la cité terrestre et la cité céleste et qui

Fazzari on Stimulus and Keynes
Steve Fazzari of Washington University in St. Louis talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the economics of Keynesian stimulus. They discuss the stimulus package passed in February 2009 and whether it improved the economy and created jobs. How should claims about its impact be evaluated? What can we know as economists about causal relationships in a complex world? The conversation includes a discussion of the underlying logic of Keynesian stimulus and the effect of the financial crisis on e

Sociology and the Financial Crisis: which crisis, and which sociology?
Sociologists have published very little on the present economic crisis. But sociology is not lacking in ways and means to study the crisis in a more general framework of a global mutation over the past 35 years. Michel Wieviorka is professor at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales.

The Flat World Knowledge Handbook for Writers
Are you teaching freshman level students? Is this one of the first college level courses your students have ever taken? Probably. That is why this English Handbook is different (and we think better).
Miles McCrimmon’s, The Flat World Knowledge Handbook for Writers is based on the understanding that writing is at the center of the college experience, not just something students do on their way to “higher-level” coursework.
The Flat World Knowledge Handbook for Writers supports the goal of

51. The Classical Gold Standard Standard Form of a Linear Equation The Evolution of Financial Technology
<img src="http://mises.org/Controls/Media/DocumentImage.ashx?Id=6158" vspace="4" hspace="4" style="margin: 10px;" /><br />
This video clip describes how lines expressed in the standard form of a linear equation are commonly seen, especially when looking at and writing systems of linear equations. The standard form of a linear equation puts the x and y terms on the left hand side of the equation, and makes the coefficient of the x-term positive. While standard form is commonly, we sometimes rewrite a line in slope-intercept form in order to graph it. (1:13)
An unmistakable glow of nostalgia rises from this reunion of “five of the founding fathers of modern finance,” in the words of Andrew Lo. The speakers reminisce about their start in economics, and their professional lives at MIT, a decades-long era of intense collaboration and creativity that both transformed the academic field and th
