Radically change the way students learn from texts, extending beyond comprehension to critical reasoning and problem solving. Comprehension proposes a new, comprehensive model of reading instruction that goes beyond teaching skills to fostering engagement and motivation. Using a structured, three-pronged approach—skill, will, and thrill—students learn to experience reading as a purposeful act and embrace struggle as a natural part of the reading process. Instruction occurs in three phases: · Skill . Holistically developing skills and strategies necessary for students to comprehend text. · Will . Creating the mindsets, motivations, and habits necessary to engage fully with texts. · Thrill . Fostering the thrill of comprehension and using the knowledge for something else.

Lectures on Quantum Field Theory
This book comprises the lectures of a two-semester course on quantum field theory, presented in a quite informal and personal manner. The course starts with relativistic one-particle systems, and develops the basics of quantum field theory with an analysis on the representations of the Poincaré group. Canonical quantization is carried out for scalar, fermion, Abelian and non-Abelian gauge theories. Covariant quantization of gauge theories is also carried out with a detailed description of the BRST symmetry. The Higgs phenomenon and the standard model of electroweak interactions are also developed systematically. Regularization and (BPHZ) renormalization of field theories as well as gauge theories are discussed in detail, leading to a derivation of the renormalization group equation. In addition, two chapters — one on the Dirac quantization of constrained systems and another on discrete symmetries — are included for completeness, although these are not covered in the two-semester course.This second edition includes two new chapters, one on Nielsen identities and the other on basics of global supersymmetry. It also includes two appendices, one on fermions in arbitrary dimensions and the other on gauge invariant potentials and the Fock-Schwinger gauge.<b>Contents:</b> <ul><li>Preface</li><li>Relativistic Equations</li><li>Solutions of the Dirac Equation</li><li>Properties of the Dirac Equation</li><li>Representations of Lorentz and Poincaré Groups</li><li>Free Klein–Gordon Field Theory</li><li>Self-Interacting Scalar Field Theory</li><li>Complex Scalar Field Theory</li><li>Dirac Field Theory</li><li>Maxwell Field Theory</li><li>Dirac Method for Constrained Systems</li><li>Discrete Symmetries</li><li>Yang–Mills Theory</li><li>BRST Invariance and Its Consequences</li><li>Higgs Phenomenon and the Standard Model</li><li>Regularization of Feynman Diagrams</li><li>Renormalization Theory</li><li>Renormalization Group and Equation</li><li>Nielsen Identities and Gauge Independence of Physical Parameters</li><li>Basics of Global Supersymmetry</li><li>Index</li></ul><br><b>Readership:</b> Graduate students and researchers in theoretical physics.

Glory, Glory Man Utd
Sir Alex Ferguson dominated English football for over 26 years. Now, having retired in 2013, Glory, Glory Man Utd pays tribute to the man's remarkable achievements by recounting each of Manchester United's 20 title triumphs from the Edwardian era to the present day and the 13 titles won by Sir Alex during his United reign.
