Electricity And Magnetism: Stop Faking It! Finally Understanding Science So You Can Teach It - PDF
نویسندگان: William C. Robertson خلاصه: Shocked by static? Mixed up about magnets? Curious about currents? This book will help you get beyond memorizing electricity-related formulas, rules, and procedures so you can understand the topic at a deep level deep enough to teach it with confidence and comfort. By covering the basics of static electricity, current electricity, and magnetism, the book develops a scientific model showing that electricity and magnetism are really the same phenomenon in different forms. A bonus feature: access to interactive software that you can download from the NSTA Web site. The software will help you investigate electrical circuits from simple to complex without having to buy a lot of expensive materials (or risking electrocution!). Electricity and Magnetism is the fifth title in the award-winning NSTA Press Stop Faking It! Series. As author Bill Robertson writes, The book you have in your hands is not a textbook. It is, however, designed to help you get science at a level you never thought possible, and also to bring you to the point where tackling more traditional science resources won t be a terrifying, lump-in-your-throat, I-don t-think-I ll-survive experience. Robertson serves as your friendly guide, one with a comforting knack for anticipating fears, meeting information needs, and entertaining as he edifies.

The Mentee's Guide: Making Mentoring Work for You - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Lois J. Zachary, Lory A. Fischler خلاصه: MY CONNECTION to mentoring began before I was born. My maiden namewas actually Menter (pronounced the same as mentor), so perhaps it wasnot coincidental that my work focuses on mentoring. What is certain is thatmy introduction to mentoring began as a Menter.My mother seemed to be everyone’s informal mentor. She was a leaderin a host of community organizations, and people would frequently callon her to share her leadership secrets, bolster their confidence, and sup-port their good intentions. Sometimes she would be gentle, sometimes a bitstern, but she always balanced candor and compassion. Those who wereprivileged to call her “Mentor Menter” knew that she was there for themand believed in them and the power of their possibilities. To this day wehear stories of how enduring her impact had been and how, in her ownspecial way, she didn ’ t transform those she mentored but helped themtransform themselves.My personal mentoring stories are many. I marvel at how my mentorsraised the bar for me, modeled the way, pushed me beyond my person-ally defined limits, encouraged me to enlarge my thinking, and believedin me even when I was unsure of myself. I was grateful for their time,their stories, and their commitment to my growth. I recall one mentor inparticular who always seemed to open doors of possibility for me. Shesaw something in me I didn’t see in myself. To be honest, I was sure thatI was going to be overwhelmed as each door opened, but with her sup-port I was able to rise to the challenge, consolidate the learning, and moveonto the next one. Before I knew it, I had developed competencies that I’ dnever imagined. Another mentor stood alongside me as I took on a majorleadership role in my community. He was there to support me, help methrough the political minefields, and make sure I kept the big picture at theforefront of my thinking.Preface

The Tyranny of the Market: Why You Can't Always Get What You Want - PDF
The Tyranny of the Market: Why You Can't Always Get What You Want - PDF
نویسندگان: Joel Waldfogel خلاصه: Economists have long counseled reliance on markets rather than on government to decide a wide range of questions, in part because allocation through voting can give rise to a "tyranny of the majority." Markets, by contrast, are believed to make products available to suit any individual, regardless of what others want. But the argument is not generally correct. In markets, you can't always get what you want. This book explores why this is so and its consequences for consumers with atypical preferences. When fixed costs are substantial, markets provide only products desired by large concentrations of people. As a result, people are better off in their capacity as consumers when more fellow consumers share their product preferences. Small groups of consumers with less prevalent tastes, such as blacks, Hispanics, people with rare diseases, and people living in remote areas, find less satisfaction in markets. In some cases, an actual tyranny of the majority occurs in product markets. A single product can suit one group or another. If one group is larger, the product is targeted to the larger group, making them better off and others worse off. The book illustrates these phenomena with evidence from a variety of industries such as restaurants, air travel, pharmaceuticals, and the media, including radio broadcasting, newspapers, television, bookstores, libraries, and the Internet.

23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism - PDF
نویسندگان: Ha-Joon Chang خلاصه: In "23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism", one of today's most iconoclastic thinkers destroys the biggest myths about the world we live in. It may have its flaws, but there's no real alternative to free-market capitalism - ultimately it's making us all more prosperous. The West is more efficient and financially savvy than the developing world. And technology is the way forward for everyone. Right? Wrong. This book will turn every piece of received economic wisdom you've heard on its head. It reveals the truth behind what 'they' tell you and shows how the system really works, including: There's no such thing as a 'free' market; Globalization isn't making the world richer; We don't live in a digital world - the washing machine has changed lives more than the internet; Poor countries are more entrepreneurial than rich ones; and, Higher paid managers don't produce better results. This galvanizing, fact-packed book about money, equality, freedom and greed proves that the free market isn't just bad for people - it's an inefficient way of running economies too. Here Chang lays out the alternatives, and shows there's a better way.
