Anything School Can Do You Can Do Better: The Story of a Family Who Learned at Home, Revised Edition - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: In the late 1940s, when our family began, ‘early cognitive learning’ was not supposed tobe possible. It was taken for granted that real learning happened-in school, and thatschool was a good thing; the more of it everyone could get, the better.Now, in the early 1980s, many people, though not all, have come to change their mindsradically on both questions. It happens that our experience cuts across both trends. Ourchildren began to learn early, and they learnt at home, not at school, until the age of eightor nine. Now that the youngest of our eleven children has just finished school, it seemsthat the learning they did in those few years at home has been much more relevant totheir later careers than anything they did in primary school. As for post- primary school,some gained some benefit, when they were lucky enough to meet a good teacher with asmall class; two at least were harmed; on the whole, the experience was irrelevant.The first part of this book tells about the early learning; how it was prompted, and ageneral survey of how we all went about it. Anyone who wants to make use of ourexperience will find more detail in the chapter called Resources, towards the end.The next section gives a short account of each of the children, just to tie up thebeginnings with their life after school. It might be easier to keep track of the peoplemoving through the first story if you turn to these chapters if confused.Then comes ‘The Debate about Reading’ with a chapter to itself. This is a subject,which, in the English-speaking world, generates vast amounts of argument. There arethose who think reading is too delicate a matter for parents to meddle in and there areothers who think that parents should be enlisted to help the school. There are those whothink it should be taught in kindergarten, and others who vehemently disagree. I have justcome across this judgment, made in 1970 by Dr Hans Furth, a psychologist at theCatholic University of America, Washington, DC.Mark well these twin conditions: learn reading and forget your intellect. The average fiveto nine year old, from any environment, is unlikely, when busy with reading and writing,to engage his intellectual powers to any degree.Even to copy that sentence makes my blood pressure rise. And on top of the disagreementabout when reading should be taught, and by whom, there are entrenched views about thebest methods. We used four different methods; though each did well enough one of themseemed decidedly more satisfactory than the others; it is appropriate only to the home. Inthe first draft of this book I found that while I was trying to describe our experience I wasalso getting caught up in arguments on all fronts at once. This time round I have tried togive a straight account of the different methods in the first part of the book and keep allthe arguments and references to research which I discovered later on safely shut up in achapter of their own.

You Say More Than You Think: A 7-Day Plan for Using the New Body Language to Get What You Want - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Mind not only what people say, but how they say it; and if you have any sagacity, youmay discover more truth by your eyes than by your ears. People can say what they will, but theycannot look just as they will; and their looks frequently reveal what their words are calculated toconceal.—LORD CHESTERFIELD (1694–1773), LETTER TO HIS SONImagine a mirror suddenly dropped down before you during your last meeting, salesnegotiation, date, friendly get-together, or confrontation.Would you be able to spot the subtle nonverbal clues that may be sabotaging you in thesesituations—and keeping you from reaching your fullest potential?Are your facial expressions awkward?Are your hand gestures not quite right?Do you appear weak or arrogant or older than you are?Does the way you shake hands discourage people from doing business with you?Does your body language clash with your words?Do you have a glaring flaw that everyone notices but you?We interact with other people all day long, in every meaningful moment in our lives. Butwe don’t always understand what they’re thinking—nor do they understand our thoughts. If wedon’t have well-developed social perception, we may experience repeated failures: losing to thecompetition, job interview bombs, failed dates, trampled trust. But if we can hone that perception,learn to read people better, and communicate more effectively, that knowledge helps us in everypart of our lives. We start to enjoy more exciting career opportunities, more honest friendships,better dating prospects, even more frequent wins at work!Look at the successful people who cross your path daily. I’d bet most have at least twocharacteristics in common. First, they possess a sense of serene self-awareness. They seemcomfortable in their own skin. Second, they have a better-than-average ability to connect withother people. They know how to put people at ease and create an immediate sense of rapport.Both of these traits stem directly from a strong command of body language.Uncovering the mysteries of body language—how people communicate their thoughtsand feelings without saying a word—is a powerful first step toward mastering any socialsituation. All successful people know that the ability to detect and react to the split-second signalsthat skim across people’s bodies hundreds of times each day is crucial to getting what they wantin life. When something they’re doing isn’t effective, they’ve learned how to adjust their actionsto maximize the moment
You Better Work! - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: You Better Work! is the first detailed study of underground dance music or UDM, a phenomenon that has its roots in the overlap and cross-fertilization of African American and gay cultural sensibilities that have occurred since the 1970s. UDM not only predates and includes disco, but also constitutes a unique performance practice in the history of American social dance. Taking New York City as its geographic focus, "You Better Work!" shows how UDM functions in the lives of its DJs and dancers, and how it is used as the primary identifier of an urban subculture shaped essentially by the relationships between music, dance, and marginality. Kai Fikentscher goes beyond stereotypical images of club and disco to explore the cult and culture of the DJ, the turntable and vinyl recordings as musical instruments, and the vital relationship between music and dance at underground clubs. Including interviews, photographs, and an extensive discography, this ethnographic account tells the story of a celebration of collective marginality through music and dance

If You're Reading This, It's Too Late - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: he torch pierced the darknessThe torch slashed through the darknessThe torch beam sliced through the darkness like a swordThe torch beam darted – yes! – across the dark hall,illuminating a wondrous collection of antique curiosities.Finely illustrated tarot cards of wizened kings andlaughing fools . . . glistening Chinese lacquer boxes concealingspring traps and secret compartments . . . intricately carvedcups of wood and ivory designed for making coins andmarbles and even fingers disappear . . . shining silver ringsthat a knowing hand could link and unlink as if they weremade of air . . .A museum of magic.The circle of light lingered on a luminous crystal ball, asif waiting for some swirling image to appear on the surface.Then it hesitated on a large bronze lantern – once home,perhaps, to a powerful genie.Finally, the torch beam found its way to a glass displaycase sitting alone on top of a black pedestal in the middle ofthe room.‘Ha! At last!’ said a woman with a voice like ice.The man behind the torch snickered. ‘Who was it thatsaid the best place to hide something was in plain sight?What an idiot.’ His accent was odd, ominous.‘Just do it!’ hissed the woman.prologueGrasping the heavy torch tight in his gloved hand,the man brought it down like an axe. Glass shattered in acascade, exposing a milky-white orb – a giant pearl? – sittingon a bed of black velvet.Ignoring the sharp, glittering shards, the womanreached with a delicately thin hand – in a delicately thinwhite glove – and pulled out the orb.About the size of an ostrich egg, it was translucentand seemed almost to glow from within. The surface had ahoneycomb sort of texture comprised of many holes of varyingsizes. A thin band of silver circled the orb, dividing it into twoequal hemispheres.The woman pushed aside her white-blonde hair andheld the mysterious object to her perfectly shaped ear. As sheturned it over, it whispered like an open bottle in the wind.‘I can almost hear him,’ she gloated. ‘That horridmonster!’‘You’re so sure he’s alive? It’s been four, five hundredyears . . .’‘A creature like that – so impossible to make – is all themore impossible to kill,’ she replied, still listening to the ballin her hand.A small red bloodstain now marked her white glovewhere one of the glass shards had cut through; she didn’tseem to notice. ‘But now he can escape us no longer. TheSecret will be mine!’The torch beam fell.‘I mean ours, darling.’Beneath the shattered display a small brass plaquegleamed. The Sound Prism, origin unknown, it read
Math (Stop Faking It! Finally Understanding Science So You Can Teach It) (PB169X7) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Flummoxed by formulas? Queasy about equations? Perturbed by pi? Now you can stop cursing over calculus and start cackling over Math, the newest volume in Bill Robertson's accurate and amusing Stop Faking It! books. Like the other six titles in this award-winning NSTA Press series, Math is meant for homework-helping parents, math-averse science teachers, and homeschoolers. It's written for everyone who lacks the background to teach with confidence and is sick of relying on avoidance strategies. As Robertson sees it, too many people view mathematics as a set of rules to be followed, procedures to memorize, and theorems to apply. This book takes a unique approach by focusing on the reasoning behind the rules, from math basics all the way up to a brief introduction to calculus. Among the questions it covers: Why do you 'carry' numbers when adding? Why do you need a common denominator when adding fractions? (Robertson says you don't, by the way!) What's behind the process of cross-multiplying? Where does the number pi come from? And who in the heck invented those strange formulas for area and volume? As usual, Robertson provides clear explanations, irreverent illustrations, and easy-to-follow activities. But he spares you problem sets to do or tests to take. That's because Math is not so much a book that will help you do math as it is a guide to understanding it conceptually.
