Preceded by: From birth to five years: children's developmental progress / Mary D. Sheridan. 3rd ed. / rev. and updated by Ajay Sharma and Helen Cockerill. 2008.
This new edition of a classic text is the go-to reference for anyone concerned with the developmental progress of pre-school children. It provides the knowledge required for understanding children's developmental progress with age and within each developmental domain. Including new sections on atypical development for each of the core domains of development and additional material on the development of attention and self-regulation, this fifth edition integrates findings from the latest research throughout. An updated companion website is available at www.routledge.com/cw/sharma, which includes the following additional learning material: An interactive timeline of the key developmental domains; Introductions to theory with links to further reading; Research summaries; Video clips demonstrating practical assessment skills; Downloadable resources including pictures to support examination of verbal and non- verbal development, and tips to facilitate and promote development. Fully aligned with current child development philosophies and practices, Mary Sheridan's From Birth to Five Years: Children Developmental Progress is designed to support the wider group of practitioners - including those from health professions, social work and early years - that are now required to take steps for promoting children's development as part of their assessment and management plans.
Complemented by: From birth to five years. Children's developmental progress / by Ajay Sharma and Helen Cockerill. 4th edition. 2014.
The book critically analyzes Einstein's 1905 paper on E = mc2, suggesting that while the equation has been understood qualitatively since Newton, a deeper examination reveals contradictions. It posits that when light energy is emitted, the mass of a luminous body must increase, challenging the concept of perpetual energy. The author argues that Einstein's derivation of the light energy-mass interconversion equation is valid only under specific conditions, highlighting the limitations in understanding energy and mass relationships.
The story features a whimsical cranky watermelon with a vivid imagination residing on a magical mountain. Written by Ajay in third grade, it reflects his inspiration from his grandmother's dream of becoming an author, showcasing creativity and the joy of storytelling through a child's perspective.
Einstein and Archimedes, now and then
The book explores the intriguing similarities between the equations of Einstein, Newton, and Archimedes, highlighting their breakdown at the indeterminate form of 0/0. It challenges the validity of Einstein's mass-energy equation in light of conservation laws and presents a generalized equation applicable to various phenomena, including questions about the universe's first particle and the nature of gravitation. Additionally, it revises Archimedes' principle to include factors like shape and viscosity, offering new theories on buoyancy.
Exploring the dynamics of family businesses, this book delves into their unique characteristics, advantages, and common pitfalls leading to failure. It examines the complexities of familial relationships within a business context and offers insights on leveraging these dynamics for success. Readers will discover strategies to navigate challenges and harness the strengths of family ties, ultimately transforming potential weaknesses into competitive advantages.
The book critiques a significant error made by Dr. Gordon W. F. Drake, editor of Physical Review A, in his analysis of Einstein's mass-energy equation, highlighting a fundamental misunderstanding in basic mathematics. It details his incorrect application of subtraction principles and the Law of Conservation of Energy, suggesting a pattern of mistakes aimed at concealing earlier errors. Additionally, it raises questions about the treatment of Ajay Sharma, drawing parallels to historical injustices faced by figures like Galileo, thus exploring themes of scientific integrity and accountability.
Focusing on foundational scientific principles, the book critically examines Archimedes' principle and Newton's laws, suggesting that these laws require generalization. It argues that Newton did not originate the Second Law of Motion as commonly believed, supported by a thorough analysis of the "Principia." Additionally, it presents a pioneering quantitative theory to explain the behavior of rising, falling, and floating bodies, addressing a gap in existing literature. This unique approach offers new insights into classical mechanics.
Set against the backdrop of a poignant love story, the narrative unfolds as the author is inspired by his girlfriend, Zindagi, to write their tale. Initially filled with hope and passion, the journey takes a heartbreaking turn as it explores themes of love, loss, and the fulfillment of promises. The story reflects on the deep emotional connection between the couple and the challenges they face, culminating in a heartfelt tribute to a love that endures even in absence.
