Rethinking Educational
Research
by
W.B. Dockrell
and

David Hamilton

Hodder and Stougton
London. Sydney.Toronto
1980.

Other Details
This volume provides an overview of recent thinking in educational research.
The authors’ original intention was to prepare a volume on educational research in
Europe, but soon it became clear that such a book would be repetitive, and
moreover, would fail to capture the intellectual doubts and unease felt by much of
the research community. The volume was therefore recast to include chapters
that were representative of new thinking, irrespective of where it was taking
place.

SECTION C
Using the Library of Congress classification scheme and the Library of Congress
Book number table, assign CALL NUMBERS to the books whose titles and
other relevant details are given below in questions 4 and 5.

Ambulatory Care
Management

by
Austin Ross
Stephen J. Williams
Eldon L. Schafer

Second Revised Edition
1991
Delmar Publishers Inc.
Albany. New York.

Other Details
A dramatic explosion in the popularity of medical group practice has occurred
since the first edition of this book was published. Simultaneously, an equally
exciting and forceful expansion of the role of the administrator, and of the
sophistication and skills required to manage a practice, have also been witnessed
in the field of ambulatory care management. The objectives of this edition are
the same as those of the first namely: to serve as a text and reference for both
students and administrators, to be applied and practical rather than theoretical, to
cover coherently the major topics the administrator should know to be able to
function effectively, and to be applicable to all settings in which ambulatory care
is provided.

Reading Retardation
and Multi-Sensory
Teaching

Charles Hulme
Fourth Edition

1992
Routledge & Kegan Paul
London. Boston.

Other Details
This book is based on the author’s doctoral thesis and the research reported here
was carried out at the Department of Experimental Psychology, University of
Oxford. The author argues that reading is the most complex skill generally taught
in schools, and failure in learning to read is clearly highly detrimental
educationally and socially. It is now generally recognized that there are a
number of children of adequate general intelligence who nevertheless experience
inordinate difficulties in learning how to read. This book examines some of the
possible reasons for the children’s reading difficulties and at the same time
explores the basis of a teaching technique which is reputed to help them learn to
read.
