Threshold Concepts in Biochemistry

CC BY-NC-SA (Attribution NonCommercial ShareAlike)  8 H5P Activities    English (Australia)

Author(s): Julian Pakay, Hendrika Duivenvoorden, Thomas Shafee, Kaitlin Clarke

Subject(s): Biochemistry

Institution(s): La Trobe University, Monash University, Swinburne University of Technology

Publisher: La Trobe eBureau

Last updated: 12/02/2025

Biochemistry (and Molecular Biology) represent one of the fastest-growing fields of scientific research and technical innovation and the resulting biotechnology is increasingly applied to other fields of study. So, an understanding of Biochemistry is increasingly important for students in all biological disciplines. However, at the same time, the content is inherently complex, highly abstract, and often deeply rooted in the pure sciences – mathematics, chemistry, and physics. This makes it difficult to both learn and to teach.

This book is designed as a succinct and focused resource, specifically aimed to help students grasp key threshold concepts in Biochemistry. Due to their troublesome nature, understanding threshold concepts is a cognitively demanding task. By using a series of thematically linked case studies that accompany theory, the cognitive load will be reduced. This will free up students to focus on learning concepts rather than distracting them with unnecessary specifics.

Burning Issues in Classics

CC BY-NC-SA (Attribution NonCommercial ShareAlike)  3 H5P Activities    English

Author(s): Rhiannon Evans, Nicole Gammie

Editor(s): Rhiannon Evans, Nicole Gammie

Subject(s): Ancient, classical and medieval texts, Ancient Greek and Roman literature

Institution(s): La Trobe University

Publisher: La Trobe eBureau

Last updated: 18/12/2024

This volume addresses various ways that we interact with, refashion and reuse aspects of ancient Greece and Rome. Its studies range from the political engagement of Italian fascists with ancient Rome, to the use of ancient Greece in video games. The chapters each take on a ‘burning issue’ of identity or ownership, that is, how we identify with ancient Greeks and Romans, as well as drawing (often troubling) elements of our identity from them. In addition, they address the question: which of us feel that we own the past? Does Classics belong to everyone, or has it been coopted by an elite few?

Exploring Sociology in the Antipodes: Introduction to Sociology – 1st Australian Edition

CC BY-NC (Attribution NonCommercial)   English (Australia)

Author(s): Theresa Petray and Nick Osbaldiston

Subject(s): Sociology

Institution(s): James Cook University

Publisher: James Cook University

Last updated: 29/11/2024

Designed to be relevant to a range of introductory sociology classes, this eBook weaves together ‘the canon’ of sociology with contemporary content, and material specifically relevant to learners in Australia and New Zealand. This gives students the necessary foundations to understand how sociology has emerged and developed in different contexts over time. The eBook ensures that readers are aware that this canon is the product of a number of factors and does not represent the limits of what sociology was and can be. Through an approach that recognises both the European classics and those not talked about enough, which includes sociology outside of the European and American scenes, the authors highlight classical and contemporary thinkers from a range of backgrounds.

This peer reviewed eBook includes interactive and multimedia resources to engage learners and demonstrate the dynamic, non-linear, and still-active nature of sociological theory. Even those sociological approaches which have long histories are still relevant and constantly adapting. This eBook includes up to date resources, such as statistics and other forms of data, to ensure the eBook is empirically grounded as well as theoretically developed.
