# data[].attributes.description
The Teacher and the Needs of Society in Evolution deals with the needs of the teacher in an evolving society. Emphasis is placed on the schools' changing context and perspectives, the evolving institutions and methods of education, and response in research and development. The chapters directly relate a rich fund of information and wide sensibility to current discussions undertaken by teachers and other educators everywhere.  This volume consists of 12 chapters organized into three sections and begins with a discussion of the social context and the dynamics of change.

Inequalities in educational opportunity in Britain today, and the ways in which they may be reduced, are also considered. The next section focuses on the changing role of teachers, their preparation and orientation, the use of new media in education, and future prospects. The role of teachers in research or curricular development is highlighted. The final section examines the evolution in educational thinking, with emphasis on the problem of authority and responsibility in the teaching of the new humanities, the rise in school enrollments, and the hunger for learning.  This book is intended for educators who want to improve their teaching skills for the benefit of society.

Cities in Action focuses on the planning of cities.  The book first discusses the planning of cities wherein planning is considered as a protective device that influences orderly procedure and cooperation among citizens. Accessibility is seen as an influential factor in the rise and distribution of cities. The text underscores that along with the rise of cities is the establishment of sidewalks, malls, parks, and shopping centers. Zoning and land use are also important in the planning of cities. These factors help in identifying the structures that should be built or established in a particular place.   The text also takes a look at the establishment of industrial parks and industrial upgrading of cities. Management of water supply, noise, and pollution is influential in the appreciation of cities. Computer systems are also applied to city operations, including the work of planning. The text also underscores the need for residential parking as the rise of cities has resulted to the increase in automobiles. The book also underlines that decongestion of traffic is viewed as an important factor in the delivery of goods and services to citizens. Roads, avenues, and expressways are seen as helpful in lessening traffic in cities.  The book is a vital source of data for city planners.

Elliptic Functions: A Primer defines and describes what is an elliptic function, attempts to have a more elementary approach to them, and drastically reduce the complications of its classic formulae; from which the book proceeds to a more detailed study of the subject while being reasonably complete in itself.   The book squarely faces the situation and acknowledges the history of the subject through the use of twelve allied functions instead of the three Jacobian functions and includes its applications for  double periodicity, lattices, multiples and sub-multiple periods, as well as many others in trigonometry.  Aimed especially towards but not limited to young mathematicians and undergraduates alike, the text intends to have its readers acquainted on elliptic functions, pass on to a study in Jacobian elliptic functions, and bring a theory of the complex plane back to popularity.
