Visible Learning for Mathematics, Grades K-12: What Works Best to Optimize Student Learning
Summary
Rich tasks, collaborative work, number talks, problem-based learning, direct instruction…with so many possible approaches, how do we know which ones work the best? In Visible Learning for Mathematics, six acclaimed educators assert it’s not about which one - it’s about when - and show you how to design high-impact instruction so all students demonstrate more than a year’s worth of mathematics learning for a year spent in school. That’s a high bar, but with the amazing K-12 framework here, you choose the right approach at the right time, depending upon where learners are within three phases of learning: surface, deep, and transfer. This results in “visible” learning because the effect is tangible. The framework is forged out of current research in mathematics combined with John Hattie’s synthesis of more than 15 years of education research involving 300 million students. Chapter by chapter, and equipped with video clips, planning tools, rubrics, and templates, you get the inside track on which instructional strategies to use at each phase of the learning cycle: Surface learning phase: When - through carefully constructed experiences - students explore new concepts and make connections to procedural skills and vocabulary that give shape to developing conceptual understandings. Deep learning phase: When - through the solving of rich high-cognitive tasks and rigorous discussion - students make connections among conceptual ideas, form mathematical generalizations, and apply and practice procedural skills with fluency. Transfer phase: When students can independently think through more complex mathematics, and can plan, investigate, and elaborate as they apply what they know to new mathematical situations. To equip students for higher-level mathematics learning, we have to be clear about where students are, where they need to go, and what it looks like when they get there. Visible Learning for Math brings about powerful, precision teaching for K-12 through intentionally designed guided, collaborative, and independent learning.

How to Flirt: The Right Way
Summary
Improve your social skills and success in flirting by following these seven easy steps! Do you feel uncomfortably awkward when left alone with a person of the opposite sex? Do you fail to send a message to the other person that you find them attractive and genuinely interesting or fail to show your interesting side and get them to know you as well? If your answer to any of these questions was "Yes", then How to Flirt: The Right Way - The Only 7 Steps You Need to Master Flirting, Attraction, Seduction and Dating Today is definitely the guide you're looking for! The audiobook gives you clear guidelines, tips, tricks, and most importantly, real-life examples on how to behave and deal with certain situations, all with the goal of giving you the knowledge that you can immediately implement in order to effectively flirt. Flirting is a crucial form of communication with the person in whom you're interested. It shows your affection for them and sends an unambiguous message. Now, flirting is a delicate thing, and many people struggle trying to find the right way to communicate with the right person. Ultimately, a scary amount of people simply gives up and starts being more and more antisocial. Learning how to flirt (and how not to) is therefore key in preserving your social life and your overall happiness. Did you know that flirting is actually good for your health? Biologists discovered that people who flirt often have more white blood cells in their blood than people who don't flirt. White blood cells increase your immunity and ability to prevent various diseases. Also, did you know that in most cases, you will need to look someone in the eyes at least three times before they understand that you're interested in them? These little factors that most people don't know are what determines whether you will be successful at flirting or not - and it's exactly what this audiobook offers you.

The Peter Kropotkin Anthology (Annotated)
Summary
Story one: The Conquest of Bread by Peter Kropotkin The deficiencies of the economic systems of capitalism and feudalism are proposed to be how the whole of society is kept in poverty and scarcity and, therefore, under the control of the wealthy few. Written in the late 1800s, this prophetic book reveals the truths of the many abuses against human rights caused by the centralization of industry. Story two: Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution by Peter Kropotkin Mutual aid, otherwise known as mutually beneficial cooperation, is explored as having an essential role in both the animal kingdom and human society in the survival of everyone. Supporting the theory and foundation for anarchist communism, Peter presents an altruistic view of society, comparing it to the natural laws of biology and evolution. Story three: Fields, Factories and Workshops by Peter Kropotkin Focused on the decentralization of industry, Fields, Factories and Workshops connects anarchism with science based on behavioral trends and tendencies of people. He delivers an economical approach to the formation of a stateless society in which all citizens participate in meeting the needs of the community. Story four: An Appeal to the Young by Peter Kropotkin Kropotkin’s most famous pamphlet An Appeal to the Young addresses young professionals entering the workforce, encouraging them to join the cause to incite radical societal change. Story five: The Life of Kropotkin by CSA Publishing This is an original biography about the prolific thought leader in communist anarchism. Kropotkin tirelessly approached a cause which he believed would benefit humanity and continued to inspire his fellow countrymen to join the movement until his death in 1921.

The Arachnid
Summary
U.S. spy satellites over Asia make a disturbing discovery. An arachnid, an elephant-sized creature created by an alien race, is roaming a forest in North Korea. How did it get there? What is its purpose? Is it a weapon of some kind? When there’s complete radio silence from the North Koreans, and further satellite images show the area around the creature being evacuated, the U.S. decides to send a joint military and scientific team to investigate. The scientific component of the team includes physicist Joshua Andrews, journalist Rachael Miller, and computer expert Vinod Bhakti - the first people to have made first contact with aliens called the Petrins many years ago. The Petrins are masters of DNA and can create any creature they choose simply by coding the DNA for the organism. Are the Petrins behind the appearance of an arachnid on Earth? Should humans reconnect with Seth, the Petrin ambassador for Earth, to get answers? When the team travels to North Korea to find answers, they discover an abandoned North Korean lab containing equipment to conduct genetic engineering. Their mission sets off an incredible, action-packed, and mind-boggling journey of adventure and discovery that leads to nothing less than the purpose for which the cosmos was created. The reason why we all exist.... “My God...I’d always thought that the universe would always be governed by the laws of physics - that it would move from the present to the future according to the natural laws - but I was wrong....The ultimate destiny of the cosmos is in the hands of living organisms.” (Dr. Joshua Andrews, particle physicist) The Arachnid is the much-anticipated sequel to the best-selling debut novel, New Eden, from Dr. Kishore Tipirneni.
