Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All of us have had a great teacher at some time. Mine was Miss Mitchell. She was my first-grade teacher, and what I remember best was that she never criticized the colors I used when I drew. “That’s lovely,” she would say, and my little fingers would eagerly pick up a crayon to draw another purple horse. Partly because of her, I have never been reluctant to take chances. And then there was Coach Hood who thought I could play first string even though I was twenty pounds lighter than the rest of the squad. In the first game of the season, I ran for two touchdowns. I still carry with me the newfound confidence I felt walking off the field that afternoon. Thank you, Coach Hood. Then there is the one teacher we all share—the oldest, wisest, and most demanding. When Experience stands at the head of the class, we all pay attention. How do you make a girl go crazy? What really happens when you lick a slug? Some lessons cannot be found in books. We quickly learn that cars roll down steep driveways when the emergency brakes are released and that, nine times out of ten, a tall person will sit in front of a short one at the movies. But sometimes hope triumphs over experience—for there are a few of us who, regardless of how many times we’ve been disappointed by the picture on the box, still buy the cereal with the toy inside.

Book excerpt: From an early age, we are told that restlessness, distraction, and ignorance are the enemies of success. Learning is all self-discipline, so we must confine ourselves to designated study areas, turn off the music, and maintain a strict ritual. But what if almost everything we were told about learning is wrong? And what if there was a way to achieve more with less effort? Here, award-winning science reporter Benedict Carey sifts through decades of education research to uncover the truth about how our brains absorb and retain information. What he discovers is that, from the moment we are born, we all learn quickly, efficiently, and automatically; but in our zeal to systematize the process we have ignored valuable, naturally enjoyable learning tools like forgetting, sleeping, and daydreaming. Is a dedicated desk in a quiet room really the best way to study? Can altering your routine improve your recall? Are there times when distraction is good? Is repetition necessary? Carey's search for answers to these questions yields a wealth of strategies that make learning more a part of our everyday lives--and less of a chore.--From publisher description.

Book excerpt: From the chief economic commentator for the Financial Times—a brilliant tour d’horizon of the new global economy There have been many books that have sought to explain the causes and courses of the financial and economic crisis that began in 2007. The Shifts and the Shocks is not another detailed history of the crisis but is the most persuasive and complete account yet published of what the crisis should teach us about modern economies and economics. Written with all the intellectual command and trenchant judgment that have made Martin Wolf one of the world’s most influential economic commentators, The Shifts and the Shocks matches impressive analysis with no-holds-barred criticism and persuasive prescription for a more stable future. It is a book no one with an interest in global affairs will want to neglect.

This book was released on 2022-03-07 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two years after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the health, economic, and social disruptions caused by this global crisis continue to evolve. The impacts of the pandemic are likely to endure for years to come, with poor, marginalized, and vulnerable groups the most affected. In COVID-19 & Global Food Security: Two Years Later, the editors bring together contributions from new IFPRI research, blogs, and the CGIAR COVID-19 Hub to examine the pandemic’s effects on poverty, food security, nutrition, and health around the world. This volume presents key lessons learned on food security and food system resilience in 2020 and 2021 and assesses the effectiveness of policy responses to the crisis. Looking forward, the authors consider how the pandemic experience can inform both recovery and longer-term efforts to build more resilient food systems.

Book excerpt: A few years ago, resiliency theory was relatively new to the fields of prevention and education. Today, it is at the heart of hundreds of school and community programs that recognize in all young people the capacity to lead healthy, successful lives. The key, as Benard reports in this synthesis of a decade and more of resiliency research, is the role that families, schools, and communities play in supporting, and not undermining, this biological drive for normal human development. Of special interest is the evidence that resiliency prevails in most cases by far -- even in extreme situations, such as those caused by poverty, troubled families, and violent neighborhoods. An understanding of this developmental wisdom and the supporting research, Benard argues, must be integrated into adults' vision for the youth they work with and communicated to young people themselves. Benard's analysis of how best to incorporate research findings to support young people is both realistic and inspirational. It is an easy-to-read discussion of what the research has found along with descriptions of what application of the research looks like in our most successful efforts to support young people.

Book excerpt: Two brothers from Virginia migrate to new lands in the Mississippi territory (present-day Alabama) in the early 1800s. There they take brides, one an Indian woman and the other the daughter of another settler, and try to build lives on the border of the Creek Nation. At first, life is peaceful and happy as the two couples farm, build and trade with the Creeks living nearby. But as more Europeans arrive, economic forces, political ambition, and personal aggression result in increasing conflict and then bloodshed, culminating in the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in 1814. Tallapoosa is an exciting historical novel about the Creek Wars and the ramifications of U.S. aggression into Native American lands.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Jesus Said to the Church Both Then and Now "Christ's Message to the Church in Ephesus" is a classic teaching by Rick Renner. In his characteristically thorough and engaging teaching style, Rick delves deep into the revelation that Jesus Christ gave to the Ephesian church. Presenting these truths within the cultural and historical context of New Testament times, Rick examines each of Jesus’ messages that were directed both to the pastoral leadership and to the congregation itself. It becomes startlingly clear in this teaching that the Head of the Church was speaking a present-tense message for every member of His Body for every generation. The teaching and illustrations in this profoundly insightful series will have a strong and lasting impact on the quality of your devotion and your obedience to God. It will also positively enhance your understanding of the New Testament and the instruction that Jesus continues to speak to His Church. Topics in this ten-part series include: Why Golden Candlesticks? What Jesus Knows About You Doctrinal Integrity How To Recognize True and False Apostles How Does Anyone Leave a First Love? What Is True Repentance? Who Were the Nicolaitans? Particularly for us upon whom the last days have come, these messages hold tremendous relevance and importance.
