Number of Pages: 312Genre: EducationSub-Genre: Special EducationFormat: HardcoverPublisher: Wyatt-MacKenzie PublishingAge Range: AdultBook theme: Behavioral, Emotional & Social DisabilitiesAuthor: Lori L DesautelsLanguage: English Book Synopsis The developing brains of our children need to "feel" safe. Children who carry chronic behavioral challenges are often met with reactive and punitive practices that can potentially reactivate the developing stress response systems. This book deeply addresses the need for co-regulatory and relational touch point practices, shifting student-focused behavior management protocols to adult regulated brain and body states which are brain aligned, preventive, and relational discipline protocols. This new lens for discipline benefits all students by reaching for sustainable behavioral changes through brain state awareness rather than compliance and obedience. Review Quotes "Dr. Lori Desautels gives us insight into the possibilities of a new paradigm for operationalizing the effects of adverse childhood experiences." --J. T. Coopman, Ed. D., Executive Director IAPSS"By giving language to co-regulated ways of being, Desautels continues to catalyze a new reality in school communities. Her translational fusion of embodied sciences and the art of education practices provides a prescient and essential guide for honoring our shared human journey amid our complex times." -- Sheila Dennis, PhD, MSW, Senior Lecturer, Indiana University School of Social Work"It is an honor to partner with Dr. Lori Desautels in providing professional development and support for our students. She continues to amaze me with the latest research and practical implementation of strategies that best serve our children." -- Dr. Flora Reichanadter, Superintendent, Metropolitan School District of Pike Township, Indianapolis"This book is truly an essential tool for any teacher or direct care-giver who wants to understand behavior and know how to help children connect, heal, and move into a positive life trajectory." --Scott E.

Number of Pages: 388Genre: ScienceSub-Genre: PhysicsFormat: HardcoverPublisher: Cambridge University PressAge Range: AdultBook theme: GeneralAuthor: Geraint F Lewis & Luke A BarnesLanguage: English About the Book An engaging defence and critique of the various arguments from both science and religion on the fine-tuning of the Universe. Book Synopsis Over the last forty years, scientists have uncovered evidence that if the Universe had been forged with even slightly different properties, life as we know it - and life as we can imagine it - would be impossible. Join us on a journey through how we understand the Universe, from its most basic particles and forces, to planets, stars and galaxies, and back through cosmic history to the birth of the cosmos. Conflicting notions about our place in the Universe are defined, defended and critiqued from scientific, philosophical and religious viewpoints. The authors' engaging and witty style addresses what fine-tuning might mean for the future of physics and the search for the ultimate laws of nature. Tackling difficult questions and providing thought-provoking answers, this volumes challenges us to consider our place in the cosmos, regardless of our initial convictions. Review Quotes 'Geraint Lewis and Luke Barnes's lucid, fast-paced, and funny new book might best be summed up in their own words: 'Our conclusion is that the fundamental properties of the Universe appear to be fine-tuned for life'. As the authors carefully explain in A Fortunate Universe: Life in a Finely Tuned Cosmos, it doesn't matter whether other kinds of life are out there. It's enough that there is life here on Earth to raise the question of why the universe is the way it is, seemingly fine-tuned to allow for life. After all, in the vast parameter space of hypothetical universes, life is a tight fit. Change the fundamental constants, or the basic laws of physics, or the low-entropy, free-energy-rich initial state of the universe, and the story on Earth would have been radically different. Life has very little wiggle room.' Marcelo Gleiser, Physics Today'In this book, the authors deal with nothing less than the question of how it is possible that we exist. In an introductory and a closing chapter, the first of which introduces the subject in a simple dialogue, and the latter, in turn, completes the dialogue in the same colloquial manner, the authors draw a detailed picture of our universe and, in particular, how peculiar our existence is. ... Reading this book is a great pleasure, not only intellectual, but also entertaining. ... They describe what is and what could be. They give their audience well-founded, solid scientific arguments, chat with them, and then leave their own thoughts. A highly readable, enriching, and knowledgeable book.' Matthias Bartelmann, translated from Sterne und Weltraum'The tone is lively, and these authors are witty; their banter is appealing; and the indulgences are infrequent and always welcome. ... Both authors of A Fortunate Universe are physicists and cosmologists, so they are in a position to avoid the scientific inaccuracies that weaken other attempts to explore the philosophical consequences of cosmic fine-tuning. On the other hand, it is rare to find physicists capable of avoiding even elementary errors in discussing the metaphysical implications of their work. But I can find at least no obvious misunderstandings in Lewis and Barnes's discussions of Aristotle or Boethius or Aquinas. Equally refreshing, they seem to have enough humility to recognize that philosophical investigations, like scientific investigations, do require a serious investment of time and study. ... We may be approaching a new era in the relation between science and philosophy. Stranger things have happened in human history.' Tucker Landy, Interpretation'What makes this part of the book different from many other works on fine-tuning is the degree to which Lewis and Barnes explain the physics of fine-tuning ... they explain how the proton mass is a function of the quark masses, and these in turn of the Higgs field, and this in turn, perhaps, of supersymmetry. The reader's understanding of fine-tuning is deepened, and [they] ... [come] to see that at every level fine-tuning appears. ... [T]he authors discuss the philosophical issues that surround fine-tuning. The handling of these issues displays Luke Barnes's philosophical sophistication. Barnes is thoroughly familiar with the work of analytic philosophers on these issues and has interesting contributions to make to the discussion. ... I highly recommend it for students of fine-tuning.' William Lane Craig, Philosophia Christi'... charming, intelligent and exceedingly well-written ... a gentle stroll through the details of the Standard Model of particle physics, as well as the Standard Model of cosmology, but [the authors] lead us with such a light hand, a streak of humour and a lack of pedantry that the information is easily absorbed ... Lewis and Barnes show us how small changes lead to a variety of disasters. ('Ruining a universe is easy' Mr. Barnes quips) ... Is [our universe] a happy coincidence, as the authors ask each other in an amusing mock debate modeled on one Galileo wrote 400 years earlier, or is there some deeper reason? Where does science go from here? Does what has been popularly called a theory of everything exist? Is there a multiverse? Must we be satisfied with an anthropic principle? The authors discuss these questions and more in a final dialogue.' Gino Segrè, The Wall Street Journal'A Fortunate Universe: Life in a Finely Tuned Cosmos by Geraint Lewis and Luke Barnes, is a nice up to date book for the general (educated) public on modern physics and cosmology. If covers modern cosmology and some of the Big Questions of our times, in particular the issue of anthropomorphism how 'fine tuned' our Universe is.' Steinn Sigurðsson, ScienceBlogs (www.scienceblogs.com)'It is the vivid, direct tone and writing style of a friendly physics lecture that perhaps most sets this text apart among popular-level science books about 'big questions' ... [The book] provides a big picture of the physics of fine-tuning, mostly accessible in lay terms, and gives aspiring philosophers of physics a taste of the tone and intellectual style one can find at cosmology conferences. Beyond that, it does so by showing the readers that a response from philosophers might be welcome. Because the authors make clear how their thinking is informed by works in metaphysics, philosophy of physics, epistemology, and the philosophy of religion, they tell the readers how they think philosophy does or could contribute, and where they think they do not know enough to see how it might.' Yann Benétreau-Dupin, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews'A Fortunate Universe is basically a book of physics, written by two scientists who are fascinated by the question 'Why are we here?' The language is straightforward, the style is easy, often witty, with short digestible paragraphs, and yet the subject-matter is inevitably dense and demanding ... It is pleasing to come across the line 'we do not know' so regularly in this book about the fundamentals of science, which echoes the book of Job ... When science reaches its limits, we have to consider a different kind of explanation for why the laws of nature are as they are, and why they are so finely tuned for the emergence of intelligent life. ... [The authors] wonder if classical arguments for the existence of God have anything to say about the fine-tuning of the universe, speculating whether God is a necessary being and whether our sense of truth and morality hint at God's inevitable existence.' Adam Ford, Church Times'This book is for anyone who has ever wondered: 'Why is it so?' With colourful analogies and admirably accurate simplifications, Geraint and Luke have succeeded in making much of modern physics and cosmology comprehensible ... They address the biggest questions of science. What is dark energy? What is dark matter? Why is there something rather than nothing? Why is there more matter than antimatter? Where did the laws physics come from? Do we live in a multiverse? Do we live in a simulation? How different could the universe have been? If God is omnipotent, why does evil exist? ... Not even the popular scientist and writer Paul Davies tries to address so many important big questions in one book ... I enjoyed the book a lot, but I disagreed with the main thesis. No matter what your religious beliefs are, this book will make you think.' Charley Lineweaver, The Conversation (www.theconversation.com)'The title claims that the Universe is finely tuned for the existence of life. The authors provide evidence for this, investigate various possible explanations, and rebut the most common criticisms ... the book provides an opportunity to learn more at an accessible level ... The case is well made that the Universe is finely tuned for life; the interesting question is why. It could be coincidence ... Or could the Universe be no other way? ... Was it designed? Did it evolve? Or are there many universes in a Multiverse, and we shouldn't be surprised that we live in one which allows life? ... The arguments are clear; references are provided for those wishing to delve deeper; essentially all points of view are presented ... This is an important topic and the book is a good summary of the field. I enjoyed reading it and recommend it to those interested in the big Question.' Phillip Helbig, The Observatory'... what is truly unique about this book is that it presents the data at a popular level so that the material is accessible to anyone interested in this topic ... As I read the book, I was awestruck by the finely-tuned constants and conditions that had to be just right to get a universe that would permit life ... This evidence should move each one of us to ask, what is the best explanation of this incredible fine-tuning?' Tim Barnett, Stand to Reason (www.str.org)"Geraint Lewis and Luke Barnes provide a breathtaking tour of contemporary physics from the subatomic to the cosmological scale. Everywhere they find the Universe to be fine-tuned for complex structure. If the quark masses, or the basic forces, or the cosmological constant had been much different, the Universe would have been a sterile wasteland. It seems that the only reactions are either to embrace a multiverse or a designer. The authors have constructed a powerful case for the specialness of our Universe." Tim Maudlin, New York University"Lewis and Barnes' book is the most up-to-date, accurate, and comprehensive explication of the evidence that the Universe is fine-tuned for life. It is also among the two most philosophically sophisticated treatments, all the while being accessible to a non-academic audience. I strongly recommend this book." Robin Collins, Messiah College, Pennsylvania"My colleagues, Geraint and Luke, in A Fortunate Universe, take you on a tour of the Cosmos in all of its glory, and all of its mystery. You will see that humanity appears to be part of a remarkable set of circumstances involving a special time around a special planet, which orbits a special star, all within a specially constructed Universe. It is these set of conditions that have allowed humans to ponder our place in space and time. I have no idea why we are here, but I do know the Universe is beautiful. A Fortunate Universe captures the mysterious beauty of the Cosmos in a way that all can share." Brian Schmidt, Australian National University, Canberra, and Nobel Laureate in Physics (2011), from the Foreword"The Universe could have been of such a nature that no life at all could exist. The anthropic question asks why the constants of nature that enter various physical laws are such as to permit life to come into being. This engaging book is a well-written and detailed explanation of all the many ways these physical constants affect the possibility of life, considering atomic, nuclear and particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. It then discusses in an open-minded way the variety of explanations one might give for this strange fine-tuning, possible solutions ranging from pure chance, existence of multiverses, or theistic explanations. The book is the most comprehensive current discussion of this intriguing range of issues. Highly recommended." George Ellis, University of Cape Town

Number of Pages: 444Genre: ScienceSub-Genre: AstronomyFormat: PaperbackPublisher: Praxis Publications IncAge Range: AdultAuthor: Tyler NordgrenLanguage: English About the Book Stars Above, Earth Below examines a range of astronomical topics in relation to the landscapes, processes and cultures which can be seen and experienced within US National Parks. The geological features readers can see are linked to the very latest NASA spacecraft discoveries on other planets and their moons. Book Synopsis Stars Above, Earth Below uses photographs and sky charts to form a connection between what is seen on the ground and in the sky, and looks at the deeper scientific meaning behind these sights. Nordgren describes other objects in the Solar System with features similar to those on Earth and links the geological features seen in the national parks to the very latest NASA spacecraft discoveries on other planets and their moons. Additionally, historical context is discussed to show why we humans (who have lived in and around our national parts for tens of thousands of years) have always been astronomers.The first book to make direct connections between astronomy and the landscapes, processes and cultures one experiences in the US National ParksEach chapter ties a specific astronomical phenomenon to a particular National Park or type of park and concludes with a "See for yourself" section that shows you how to see the planets, stars, nebulae, moons, etc. that are described within that chapterA personal guide showing the reader the astronomical phenomena that you can see for yourself when visiting the U.S. National Parks From the Back Cover In Stars Above, Earth Below, Tyler Nordgren examines a range of astronomical topics and makes the connection between them and the landscapes, processes, and cultures which can be seen and experienced within specific U.S. National Parks. For each park and topic the story unfolds in three steps: what does the reader see for him - or herself? What is the scientific cause or explanation of what is seen? And finally, what is the big picture about ourselves, our world, and our Universe? The author takes us the length and breadth of the U.S., from the coast of Maine to the Yellowstone volcano, from the depths of the Grand Canyon to the heights of the Rocky Mountains, exploring the natural links between the features of the parks and those of our Universe. Review Quotes From the reviews: "A photo essay on a years-long journey to see the natural wonders of dark skies over America's most beautiful landscapes ... and visions of future exploration of the planets -- Stars Above, Earth Below is all of these. ... Nordgren's text is accompanied by a truly exorbitant number of photos and diagrams ... . The book will delight space fans, but I think that it will do a greater public service by exposing those people who already love ... places seen throughout the Space Age." (Emily Lakdawalla, The Planetary Society Blog, December, 2010)"There are numerous field books on astronomy on the market, but this new book stands out. Astronomer Nordgren ... spent 14 months traveling across the US, visiting 12 national parks and contributing to their nighttime public outreach programs. The result is this beautiful diary of the author's experiences and account of the unique aspects of the night sky at each site. ... Most chapters are illustrated with beautiful color photos, many of them taken by Nordgren. ... Summing Up: Highly recommended. All levels/libraries." (T. D. Oswalt, Choice, Vol. 48 (3), November, 2010)"Appeal to readers with a wider interest in wild landscapes. ... the book is an excellent example of the growing global trend of developing partnerships between astronomers and environmental managers. ... includes a good number of eye-catching images and illustrations to draw the reader into its themes. As a general introduction to astronomy the style is individual and idiosyncratic. The approach weaves together, for example, personal anecdotes, philosophical observations, and practical seasonal star-charts." (Dan Hillier, The Observatory, Vol. 131 (1222), June, 2011) About the Author Dr. Nordgren is an Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Redlands. As an observational astronomer he has written over two dozen peer-reviewed papers on pulsars, the interstellar medium, star formation in galaxies, the distribution of dark matter in galaxies, and the atmospheres and pulsation of red giant stars. In addition, he has professional interests in archaeoastronomy, light pollution and science education. These interests were developed during positions held as an astronomer at the U.S. Naval Observatory and then Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff Arizona. Both institutions have worked diligently and successfully with local governments to establish light pollution ordinances. Dr. Nordgren has designed and built sundials, including a two-story dial at the University of Redlands, and is one of seven scientists and artists that turned the NASA Mars Exploration Rover camera calibration cartnears into working Martian sundials. These Marsdials have become the most photographed objects of the Spirit and Opportunity Rover mission. In addition, while at the U.S. Naval Observatory and later University of Redlands, he worked with NPS park managers at Wupatki National Monument and Chaco Culture National Historic Park to photograph alignments of ancestral Puebloan kivas with respect to the North Star. In 2005 Dr. Nordgren began working with Chad Moore, leader of the National Park Service Night Sky Team who has developed a method of quantifying the amount of light pollution in the skies above the national parks. With his support, Dr. Nordgren is working with the U.S. National Park Service to spend his sabbatical during the 2007-2008 academic school year in the national parks writing the remainder of the book.

Number of Pages: 314Genre: EducationSub-Genre: HigherFormat: PaperbackPublisher: Mayflybooks/EphemeraAge Range: AdultAuthor: Richard HallLanguage: English Book Synopsis The hegemonic University represented in the institutions of the global North is an increasingly hopeless place. Defined against value and generation of surpluses, the University is a critical node in the social metabolic control of capital. As such, it acts to deny human agency and autonomy, forms of mutuality, and alternative life worlds, precisely because it serves to reproduce capitalist social relations. These relations foreclose upon the idea that humans might make their own history, and in fact we have been told that we are at the end of history. Here, the idea that the University exists in a closed system designed to mitigate economic risk, generates structures that constantly restructure intellectual work through joint ventures; cultures that act pathologically to dehumanise those who work in the institution; and practices that are imposed methodologically to limit the horizon of intellectual possibility. However, the intersection of crises of political economy, black and indigenous lives, climate and environment, and epidemiology, have exposed the fraud at the heart of narratives of the end of History. A range of intersecting struggles have exposed the fraud of the transhistorical inevitability that capitalism will be our operating system. In spite of the fragility of capital's social metabolic control, the University remains committed to repurposing all of social life in the name of value, by working towards employability, entrepreneurship, excellence, impact and satisfaction. The University is a critical node in the denial of History, precisely because it provides a constant funnelling of individuals into a normalised existence framed by debt and work. Faced by the realities and lived experiences of intersecting crises, the University is revealed as hopeless, because: first, it has become a place that has no socially-useful role beyond the reproduction of capital, and has become an anti-human project devoid of hope; and second, it is unable to respond meaningfully with crises that erupt from the contradictions of capital. Thus. in its maintenance of business-as-usual, the University remains shaped as a tactical response to these contradictions.

Review Quotes "No one-student or parent-who reads Chapter 1 will fail to read this whole book. And no student who reads Chapter 2 will fail to put the clear prescriptions that follow into action. This important book is a grabber. Be grabbed and have a good life!" --William P. Butz, President and CEO, Population Reference Bureau "Over the many years I have known Gordon Green I have seen him dedicate himself selflessly to helping young Americans of every race, creed, color, class. This has been of enormous service to the country he loves..." --Ben Wattenberg, Host, PBS's Think Tank, Senior Fellow, American Enterprise Institute and Hudson Institute, Washington D.C. "Boy, do I wish my kids (and I) had this book when they were in school and college. Fortunately, my grandkids now will... We've found that knowledgeable, practical guidance is vital to their success. Thank you, Gordon, for supplying it!" --Chester E. Finn, Jr., Ph.D. senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University and President of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute "If every student and family read this book, our national dropout problem would disappear. It tells us why education is important, and more importantly, how to succeed within the system, no matter your starting point." --Indya Kincannon, chairperson of the Knox County Board of Education, Knoxville, TN "Gordon Green's Making Your Education Work for You should be required reading for parents and students alike...His handbook for learning is a joy to read, a call to arms, and an inspiration." --Frederick M. Hess, Ph.D. director of Education Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute "Gordon Green has written a book that every student and parent should read. Dispensing both common sense alongside expert insight, he offers invaluable guidance on everything from study tips to summer jobs. And all of it shared in jargon-free, readable prose chock-full of telling anecdotes..." --Frederick M. Hess, Ph.D. director of Education Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute "In his book, Gordon Green describes the crucial link between education and obtaining satisfying and economically rewarding work. Even more important for readers, however, is the encouragement he provides to both youth and their parents by describing an approach that will enable them to take full advantage of their opportunities to learn and to succeed." --Marvin Kosters, Ph.D. (University of Chicago), resident scholar emeritus and former director of Economic Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute and former senior economist at the President's Council of Economic Advisers "As a student, realization of your dreams begins with the courses you take in school and the grades you receive. I used Dr. Green's study methods to realize my dreams of becoming a successful dentist, finishing first in my class in dental school, earning a fellowship at the Mayo Clinic, and receiving the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships in the process. I enthusiastically recommend his new book to my own children and to my patients, and I encourage the same for you to make your dreams become a reality!" --Dr. Robert Semco, D.M.D., M.S., "Years ago, I sat alone on the Rutgers University campus with a 1.9 grade point average, a copy of Gordon Green's book Getting Straight A's, and little else. Now, twenty-one years later, I can look at my diploma, which states that I graduated with highest honors. After reading his latest book, Making Your Education Work for You, I'm excited to share his ideas with my students and to put his proven methods to work in my daily life. Simply stated, Gordon Green's writing changed my life..." --Michael S. Casella, teacher at East Amwell Township School, Ringoes, NJ and featured columnist at BleacherReport.com About the Author DR.

Number of Pages: 584Genre: EducationSub-Genre: HigherFormat: PaperbackPublisher: New York University PressAge Range: AdultAuthor: Werner Sollors & Caldwell Titcomb & Thomas A Underwood & Randall KennedyLanguage: English Book Synopsis The history of blacks at Harvard mirrors, for better or for worse, the history of blacks in the United States. Harvard, too, has been indelibly scarred by slavery, exclusion, segregation, and other forms of racist oppression. At the same time, the nation's oldest university has also, at various times, stimulated, supported, or allowed itself to be influenced by the various reform movements that have dramatically changed the nature of race relations across the nation. The story of blacks at Harvard is thus inspiring but painful, instructive but ambiguous--a paradoxical episode in the most vexing controversy of American life: the race question. The first and only book on its subject, Blacks at Harvard is distinguished by the rich variety of its sources. Included in this documentary history are scholarly overviews, poems, short stories, speeches, well-known memoirs by the famous, previously unpublished memoirs by the lesser known, newspaper accounts, letters, official papers of the university, and transcripts of debates. Among Harvard's black alumni and alumnae are such illustrious figures as W.E.B. Du Bois, Monroe Trotter, and Alain Locke; Countee Cullen and Sterling Brown both received graduate degrees. The editors have collected here writings as diverse as those of Booker T. Washington, William Hastie, Malcolm X, and Muriel Snowden to convey the complex ways in which Harvard has affected the thinking of African Americans and the ways, in turn, in which African Americans have influenced the traditions of Harvard and Radcliffe. Notable among the contributors are significant figures in African American letters: Phyllis Wheatley, William Melvin Kelley, Marita Bonner, James Alan McPherson and Andrea Lee. Equally prominent in the book are some of the nation's leading historians: Carter Woodson, Rayford Logan, John Hope Franklin, and Nathan I. Huggins. A vital sourcebook, Blacks at Harvard is certain to nourish scholarly inquiry into the social and intellectual history of African Americans at elite national institutions and serves as a telling metaphor of this nation's past. Review Quotes Harvard has played a curiously central role in the American cultural imagination, a role that is fraught with ambiguity. In no part of our society is this more the case than in black America. This important book brings together for the first time two hundred years of reflection on the curious relation of black culture to Harvard, and Harvard's complex relation to black people. A fascinating collection, extraordinarily well-researched, an essential text for all who are interested in the history of African-Americans in higher education.--Henry Louis Gates, Jr.

Edition: AnnotatedNumber of Pages: 680Genre: ScienceSub-Genre: Life SciencesFormat: PaperbackPublisher: Stanford University PressAge Range: AdultBook theme: Zoology, GeneralAuthor: Edward F Ricketts & Jack CalvinLanguage: English Book Synopsis One of the classic works of marine biology, a favorite for generations, has now been completely revised and expanded. Between Pacific Tides is a book for all who find the shore a place of excitement, wonder, and beauty, and an unsurpassed introductory text for both students and professionals. This book describes the habits and habitats of the animals that live in one of the most prolific life zones of the world--the rocky shores and tide pools of the Pacific Coast of the United States. The intricate and fascinating life processes of these creatures are described with affectionate care. The animals are grouped according to their most characteristic habitat, whether rocky shore, sandy beach, mud flat, or wharf piling, and the authors discuss their life history, physiology, and community relations, and the influence of wave shock and shifting tide level. Though the basic purpose and structure--and much of the text--of the book remain the same, content has been increased by about 20 percent; a multitude of changes and additios has been made in the text; the Annotated Systematic Index and General Bibliography have been updated and greatly expanded (now almost 2,300 entries); more than 200 new photographs and drawings have been incorporated; and an entirely new chapter has been added--a topical presentation of the several factors influencing distribution of organisms along the shore. This edition also includes John Steinbeck's Foreword to the 1948 edition. From the Back Cover "John Steinbeck himself wrote the Foreword to the revised edition for Ricketts and his co-author Jack Calvin."--Palo Alto Times"Ritchie Lovejoy's exquisite line drawings, 100 pages of them form a treasure trove both for the scientist and the lover of nature who is not scientifically trained. The general reader may take refuge here on hot days. To the scientist the book is a must."--The Book Shelf Review Quotes As Steinbeck says in his foreword: There are good things to see in the tidepools and there are exciting and interesting thoughts to be generated from the seeing. This is the book to introduce one to these forms, and, certainly, to generate those thoughts.--Nature MagazineBoth the ecologist who would like to familiarize himself with some of the common invertebrates of the Pacific Coast, and the invertebrate specialist who needs to get away from the phylogenetic viewpoint and look upon invertebrates in relation to habitat and as members of a community, will want to have this book.--Ralph Buchsbaum "The University of Chicago"John Steinbeck himself wrote the Foreword to the revised edition for Ricketts and his co-author Jack Calvin.--Palo Alto TimesNew and revised edition of th best and most complete guide to the invertebrate animals of the Pacific Coast. Invaluable for anyone who wants to identify what he sees along the beach.

The general reader may take refuge here on hot days. To the scientist the book is a must.--The Book ShelfThat Between Pacific Tides will become a classic of western American marine ecology is unquestioned.--Pacific DiscoveryThe book is filled with interesting information on familiar acquaintances, from crabs and limpets to the toredo, and many less familiar.--CTA JournalThe book is written with grace and gusto, and is generously and delightfully illustrated.--The RotarianThis revised edition of Between Pacific Tides, is an intensely interesting account, for laymen and beginners, about . . .strange and unusual animals and plants.--Long Beach (Calif) Press

Number of Pages: 416Genre: ScienceSub-Genre: EnergyFormat: HardcoverPublisher: Pegasus BooksAge Range: AdultAuthor: John BrowneLanguage: English About the Book An impassioned defense of progress and innovation--and an argument for social responsibility from engineer, businessman, and former CEO of BP Lord John Browne. Book Synopsis An impassioned defense of progress and innovation--and an argument for social responsibility from engineer, businessman, and former CEO of BP Lord John Browne. Today's unprecedented pace of change leaves many people wondering what new technologies are doing to our lives. Has social media robbed us of our privacy and fed us with false information? Are the decisions about our health, security and finances made by computer programs inexplicable and biased? Will these algorithms become so complex that we can no longer control them? Are robots going to take our jobs? Can we provide housing for our ever-growing urban populations? And has our demand for energy driven the Earth's climate to the edge of catastrophe? John Browne argues that we need not and must not put the brakes on technological advance. Civilization is founded on engineering innovation; all progress stems from the human urge to make things and to shape the world around us, resulting in greater freedom, health and wealth for all. Drawing on history, his own experiences and conversations with many of today's great innovators, he uncovers the basis for all progress and its consequences, both good and bad. He argues compellingly that the same spark that triggers each innovation can be used to counter its negative consequences. Make, Think, Imagine provides an eloquent blueprint for how we can keep moving towards a brighter future. Review Quotes "In his first foray into popular-science writing, Browne does an admirable job crafting an informative and engrossing chemistry-based view of history." -- "Booklist [Praise for Seven Elements That Changed the World]""Mixes in his travels and anecdotes from an impressive career to produce a lively, educational examination of civilization's building blocks." -- "Publishers Weekly [Praise for Seven Elements That Changed the World]""Mr. Browne uses his chosen elements to frame a wide-ranging look at scientific progress. It's also a lot of fun." -- "Wall Street Journal [praise for Seven Elements That Changed the World]""The human quest for knowledge has led to extraordinary progress. This book forces us to confront these realities and does so in a unique and fascinating way. It weaves science and humanity together in a way that gives us new insight. This is an expertly crafted book by a unique thinker." --Tony Blair [Praise for Seven Elements That Changed the World]"The topics the author chooses to cover, ranging from the use of coal in ancient China to the Bessemer converter and silver photography, unfold in thoughtful detail, and the ample footnotes accompanying the text are as diverting as they are helpful." -- "Kirkus Reviews [Praise for Seven Elements That Changed the World]""A thoughtful analysis of today's unprecedented pace of change and what the future may hold."-- "Kirkus Reviews""A tribute to engineers like Rousseau, the tribe of pragmatic creators who, Mr. Browne says, are 'at the heart of all human progress.' Mr. Browne has created a sturdy and useful product, achieving the engineer's blend of 'hopefulness and pragmatism' that he so deeply admires."-- "Wall Street Journal""Browne takes readers on a fascinating yet practical intellectual journey into both past and future technologies, focusing on the technologies most likely to benefit humankind...The author's interviews and personal experiences make this material come alive. The occasional diagrams and black-and-white images surely enhance understanding, and researchers will definitely appreciate the voluminous notes, chock-full of detailed explanations, as well as the comprehensive index featuring numerous detailed sub-entries. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All readers."-- "CHOICE""Browne views engineering as inherently translational. He describes engineering as 'a head with two sets of eyes: one looks to the fruits of discovery, while the other looks to the demands of commerce and customers.' A pivotal moment in Browne's career trajectory, he said, was his realization that 'no solution was complete unless it resulted in something practical that humanity wanted." -- "Forbes""Browne's book is...thoughtful, analytical, insightful, comprehensive, wide-ranging, and deeply researched."-- "The American Scientist" About the Author John Browne trained as an engineer, was CEO of BP from 1995 to 2007, and remains an influential leader in the energy business. He is chairman of the Crick Institute, a fellow of the Royal Society and the US Academy of Arts and Sciences, former president of the Royal Academy of Engineering and former chairman of Tate. He is a collector of antique books and the author of four previous titles, including The Glass Closet: Why Coming Out is Good Business and Seven Elements that Changed the World, also available from Pegasus Books. John lives in London.

Number of Pages: 200Genre: EducationSub-Genre: Educational Policy & ReformFormat: PaperbackPublisher: Practical Inspiration PublishingAge Range: AdultBook theme: GeneralAuthor: Martin Baker & Mike GlanvilleLanguage: English Book Synopsis Too often, safeguarding in education is an unsatisfactory mix of tactical reaction, box-ticking and interminable paper trails that leaves children at risk and staff constantly anxious. Martin Baker and Mike Glanville, both experienced Chief Constables and school governors, set out another way: a unique 8-point strategic model that puts child protection at the heart of the organization. Safeguarding and child protection challenges in education have never been more complex, nor the legal duties on schools and colleges more stringent. Child criminal exploitation, child sexual exploitation, FGM, radicalization and online safety are all now part of the remit, along with self-harm arising from increasing prevalence of mental health issues. The impact on children suffering such Adverse Childhood Experiences - ACEs - is life-long and life limiting, with enormous consequences for their health and wellbeing into adulthood. The responsibility for staff in schools and colleges - and particularly for safeguarding leads - can feel overwhelming. This book shows how to transform your organization with a strategic framework for achieving outstanding safeguarding. It sets out an 8-point approach that will enable you to spot problems before they arise, deal with them more effectively when they do, and build a network of support both within and outside your organization, so that you can protect both your children and your staff and let them both get on with the real work of education. About the Author Martin Baker is the CEO of One Team Logic, the makers of the secure safeguarding software MyConcern(R). A former Chief Constable whose career spanned five UK police forces, including significant spells in counter-terrorism, safeguarding and child protection, he is an experienced school governor and is currently a director of a multi-academy trust. Mike Glanville is the Chief Safeguarding Officer at One Team Logic. A former police child protection officer, Mike later served as an Assistant Chief Constable and had force-wide responsibility for all adult and child safeguarding. He is also an experienced school governor and has been a Chair of Governors for over 10 years.

Here's the book for you - written by a teacher, psychologist, parent, and consultant who has been there. Don't worry. With the help of Autism Questions Teachers Ask, you've got this. Book Synopsis One in every 59 children has an autism diagnosis. Once thought rare, now every teacher will have an autistic child in their classroom. Maybe not last year, but this coming year....Our rooms are full of diverse learners. Sadly, most university programs don't prepare teachers for this reality. With all those bright little faces gazing at you, the needs can seem overwhelming. How can you be everything to each one? This book is for you. It will calm those panicky feelings. You can do this. By learning about autism and the characteristics that affect being in a classroom, you can tailor strategies that will help that learner, you and the other kids who are in your care. You cannot turn your room upside down for one kid but you can use strategies that are doable and will help many of the learners.Dr. Sharon A. Mitchell gets it. She's been a teacher, counselor, school psychologist, district consultant and autism consultant for decades. She has presented to thousands at conferences and workshops on ways to successfully include kids who learn differently. She teaches university classes to wanna-be-teachers and to school administrators on inclusion strategies and students who learn differently.Autism Questions Teachers Ask is the book you've been looking for. Review Quotes - "Probably the best book that I have read on autism, certainly the most practical."- "This book should be required summer reading for all teachers. It is informative and has many resources including videos from those on the autism spectrum. Many helpful suggestions and teaching techniques are given. This should be in all libraries and included in teachers college curriculum".- "This book is well organized and lots of helpful information especially if you are new to the world of teaching autism. I wish I had a resource like this when I taught years ago; it would have been awesome".- "This book is a truly valuable source of information and I would highly recommend it to anyone who works with children. Teachers and educators will find it especially useful, even if they don't presently have an autistic child in their classroom. The information is grouped according to topics which make it quick and simple to find relevant information at any given time. All information is presented in a concise, easy to read format and there are also references to sites where questions are explored in more depth. I have been teaching children with autism for 10 years and have yet to come across any similar book as user-friendly as this one."
