Designed to be accessible to those with a strong general (not professional) interest in planetary science, this volume explores the various aspects of the solar system planet by planet. Along the way, it illustrates by example how science is “done,” and constantly goes beyond the issue of merely “What do we know,” to ask such questions as “What motivates our questions?" and "How do we go about finding the answers?" Begins each chapter with a purely descriptive section about a planet; then includes two sections on topics that are related to the planet in question (e.g., atmospheric chemistry and Venus; the generation of magnetic fields and Jupiter). Later chapters consider more difficult topic such as planetary satellites, comets and the solar wind, and the origin of the solar system. Confines the use of integral calculus and most derivations to separate boxes, and reviews basic concepts of physics and chemistry, in boxes, as necessary. For undergraduate students and general readers interested in planetary science.

Professional Piano Teaching, is designed to serve as a basic text for a first-semester piano pedagogy course. It provides an introduction to the profession, an overview of learning principles, a thorough approach to all aspects of teaching beginners and elementary students, and a detailed analysis of the business aspects of independent teaching. Special topics related to group teaching, teaching preschool students and evaluation of teaching also are included. Its thorough treatment of subject matter makes it useful for pedagogy students, new teachers, university graduates with little or no pedagogy coursework, and teachers who have had limited opportunity for advanced training. Due to its comprehensive approach, experienced teachers will also find it filled with helpful hints to enhance their skills. The book deals not only with what to teach, but with how to teach and solve problems in teaching. Teachers will be able to apply the principles that are discussed to real situations that they encounter on a daily basis. Actual teaching problems are discussed and workable solutions are offered for them. Numerous musical examples are used to illustrate the discussions. For copyright reasons, most musical examples were chosen from materials published or distributed by Alfred Publishing Company. Because bibliographies quickly become outdated and new teaching materials appear with regularity, specific lists of materials are limited. In addition, computer and keyboard technology has not been treated as a separate chapter in the book. Because of the rapidly changing technology, general applications are suggested throughout the text as appropriate. For the beginning pedagogy class, it is recommended that students study Chapters 1–8 in order. By following this order, they explore the field in a systematic way, learning: ‚ what it means to become a professional piano teacher (Chapter 1) ‚ principles of learning applied to piano teaching (Chapter 2) ‚ how to choose a beginning piano method (Chapter 3) ‚ elementary teaching concepts and common problems of beginners (Chapter 4) ‚ specifics of teaching rhythm and reading (Chapter 5) ‚ specifics of teaching technique and musical sound development (Chapter 6) ‚ how to choose repertoire and present it (Chapter 7) ‚ how to develop musicality in students (Chapter 8) The special topics in the book can be integrated into the class according to the preference of the teacher, the length of the term and the needs of the student. These topics include: ‚ an exploration of group teaching (Chapter 9) ‚ a philosophical and practical discussion about teaching preschoolers (Chapter 10) ‚ the business aspects of teaching piano (Chapter 11) ‚ suggestions for observing and evaluating lessons (Chapter 12) In Chapter 11 (Business Aspects of Teaching), samples of professional forms, studio policies, brochures, business cards and ads are given. The publisher hereby grants the purchaser of this book permission to use and adapt these forms for personal and professional purposes. Chapter 12 (Evaluation of Teaching) should be studied as soon as pedagogy students start to observe experienced teachers and begin their own student teaching. Important points covered in each chapter are summarized at the end of the chapter. These summary points can be used in the pedagogy classroom for starting classroom discussions of key topics. In addition, projects that build on the teaching principles introduced in the chapter are suggested for both new teachers and experienced teachers. Pedagogy teachers can assign or adapt those projects that are appropriate for students in their classes. The quest for improvement of piano teaching skills never ends. Whether you are beginning the journey as a new teacher with this book or whether you are an experienced teacher refining your skills, the author wishes you continued success as you pursue your career in professional piano teaching.
