Book Description
A woman and a man meet on the beach in the Caribbean. That chance encounter turns into a journey of discovery: of themselves, of each other, and of the island - which has a personality all its own. Accompanied by beautifully rendered watercolor paintings, there will be stunning visual details to consider. Deep-sea dives. Primordial rain forests. Night witches. Dawn carnivals. He learns about the ingredients of a national dish and where runaway slaves hid. She learns he has a scar and a wicked smile. But what you won’t learn are their names. Or ages. Countries of origin. Professions. Political leanings. There will be no interruptions by work deadlines, smartphones, insistent technologies, and other inconsolable distractions. The woman wonders at one point “where is this going?” and we are grateful that we are along for the ride.

Pages : 838
Book Description
Let me introduce myself, me as rememberer, writing about what I have done, how and when, seldom why. This book is written as a docudrama in parts, in others as poems and excerpts of commentary or assonant rhythms. Formal in content or informal in context, each part contributes to a totality greater than the sum of their separate insights. (So will yours be larger than their total by the end of your journey through these pages.)

The Abcs of Liberalism
Author: Steven Adams
Publisher: Author House
ISBN: 1452006199
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
Who says facts can't be fun? This book was written for those who are of a conservative mind set but are still wandering aimlessly in the world of politics and do not have a clue as to the policies, missions and distinct differences between the Democratic and Republican parties. Infusing sarcastic political satire into the fray, the author has created a manifesto which is quite humorous yet extremely informative. An absolute must for those who have their hearts in the right place but have the political I.Q. of a salamander!

Paradise Park
Author: Allegra Goodman
Publisher: Dial Press Trade Paperback
ISBN: 0385334184
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
Allegra Goodman has delighted readers with her critically acclaimed collections Total Immersion and The Family Markowitz, and her celebrated first novel, Kaaterskill Falls, which was a national bestseller and a National Book Award finalist. Abandoned by her folk-dancing partner, Gary, in a Honolulu hotel room, Sharon realizes she could return to Boston—and her estranged family—or listen to that little voice inside herself. The voice that asks: “How come Gary got to pursue his causes, while all I got to pursue was him?” Thus, with an open heart, a soul on fire, and her meager possessions (a guitar, two Indian gauze skirts, a macramé bikini, and her grandfather’s silver watch) Sharon begins her own spiritual quest. Ever the optimist, she is sure at each stage that she has struck it rich “spiritually speaking”—until she comes up empty. Then, in a karmic convergence of events, Sharon starts on the path home to Judaism. Still, even as she embraces her tradition, Sharon’s irrepressible self tugs at her sleeve. Especially when she meets Mikhail, falls truly in love at last, and discovers what even she could not imagine—her destiny.

The ABCs of How We Learn: 26 Scientifically Proven Approaches, How They Work, and When to Use Them
Author: Daniel L. Schwartz
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 039370940X
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 468
Book Description
Selected as one of NPR's Best Books of 2016, this book offers superior learning tools for teachers and students, from A to Z. An explosive growth in research on how people learn has revealed many ways to improve teaching and catalyze learning at all ages. The purpose of this book is to present this new science of learning so that educators can creatively translate the science into exceptional practice. The book is highly appropriate for the preparation and professional development of teachers and college faculty, but also parents, trainers, instructional designers, psychology students, and simply curious folks interested in improving their own learning. Based on a popular Stanford University course, The ABCs of How We Learn uses a novel format that is suitable as both a textbook and a popular read. With everyday language, engaging examples, a sense of humor, and solid evidence, it describes 26 unique ways that students learn. Each chapter offers a concise and approachable breakdown of one way people learn, how it works, how we know it works, how and when to use it, and what mistakes to avoid. The book presents learning research in a way that educators can creatively translate into exceptional lessons and classroom practice. The book covers field-defining learning theories ranging from behaviorism (R is for Reward) to cognitive psychology (S is for Self-Explanation) to social psychology (O is for Observation). The chapters also introduce lesser-known theories exceptionally relevant to practice, such as arousal theory (X is for eXcitement). Together the theories, evidence, and strategies from each chapter can be combined endlessly to create original and effective learning plans and the means to know if they succeed.
