Book Description
'Full of heart.' Michael Harris, author of Solitude Being alone isn't something to endure - it's something to relish. ________ The average adult spends about a third of his or her waking time alone. Yet research suggests we aren't very good at using, never mind enjoying, alone time. Rising to the challenge, travel writer Stephanie Rosenbloom explores the joys and benefits of being alone in four mouth-watering journeys to the cities of Paris, Istanbul, Florence and New York, in four seasons. This is a book about the pleasures and benefits of savouring the moment, examining things closely, using all your senses to take in your surroundings, whether travelling to faraway places or walking the streets of your own city. Through on-the-ground observations and anecdotes, and drawing on the thinking of artists, writers and innovators who have cherished solitude, Alone Time illuminates the psychological arguments for alone time and lays bare the magic of going solo.

Languages : en
Pages : 474
Book Description
Wonder why many people are choosing to escape to Panama? Is Panama for you? What is it like to actually live in this tropical paradise? Richard Detrich retired to Panama from Southern California ten years ago. Like a good friend, he gives you the straight scoop on expat life in Panama. Here's insider information you need to know about the cost and quality of health care, personal safety, and the cost of living. Discover how you can live better for less. Learn how you sort through countries, and discover what you want in your new home. THE NEW ESCAPE TO PARADISE is a refreshing escape from the superficial, “blue sky” travelogues hyping life in Panama. Richard goes the extra mile to try to give you realistic and current information. Chapters on “Finding Paradise,” “Running The Numbers,” and “Due Diligence,” guide you along the way. What are the differences in Panamanian law that can trip you up? Here's how you can avoid costly mistakes. Can you take your pets? Learn “What People Won't Tell You . . . And Can't Tell You.” Detrich shows you both the good and frustrating aspects life in a different culture. Here are “Things to Like and Things Not to Like” about Panama. Bob Little says, “Richard tells it like it really is, with no personal axes to grind. He answers are to questions that the other literature I read failed to ask….much less answer! Far from lofty or detached, it's like you're both sitting at the breakfast table sharing conversation … with a little wit here and an off hand comment there. None of it is a waste, but a nice, easy way to give the information YOU'RE interested in!!” Harry Kooiman says, “Entertaining, informative, and a quick read. Once I started reading it, I found it difficult to put down." Detrich is still in love with Panama, his paradise and place to grow. Is Panama the paradise for you? Allison Guinn says, “THE NEW ESCAPE TO PARADISE is a must read for anyone thinking/dreaming about retiring in Panama.”

Disciplinary Literacy and Gamified Learning in Elementary Classrooms
Author: Leslie Haas
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 303080349X
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 187
Book Description
This textbook provides real world examples of how disciplinary literacy can incorporate gamified learning opportunities in elementary classrooms (grades K-5 or ages 5-11). It also presents concrete examples of how to seamlessly integrate literacy within other subjects in engaging and unique ways. Furthermore, this text offers practical information related to pedagogy, content, and differentiation for each lesson. Preservice teachers, practicing teachers, instructional coaches, and administrators can benefit from this user-friendly text and its companion digital components, allowing for replication of lessons based on national standards, backed by best-practices, and supported by differentiated pedagogy. This unique volume begins with engineering marvels that span across centuries and locations. The eight chapters focus on the following marvels in chronological order: Great Pyramid of Giza, Stonehenge, Leaning Tower of Pisa, Great Wall of China, Machu Picchu, Panama Canal, Golden Gate Bridge, and International Space Station. By focusing on these specific examples of human ingenuity, opportunities are created to delve into the historical and social aspects of each chapter’s focus. There are also occasions to explore the artistic merit and the art created about and around each focus. Additional teaching opportunities lie in understanding the science, engineering, technology, and math embedded in all featured marvels. Each chapter features an adventure roadmap in the form of a narrative quest set against the chapter’s marvel that guides teachers and student players through embedded activities. Activities are designed for lower elementary school (grades K-2 or ages 5-8) and upper elementary school (grades 3-5 or ages 8-11). Instructional support for both novice and career teachers is provided through differentiation strategies, resource materials, and teaching tips.
