Flavors of Geometry is a volume of lectures on four geometrically-influenced fields of mathematics that have experienced great development in recent years. Growing out of a series of introductory lectures given at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in January 1995 and January 1996, the book presents chapters by masters in their respective fields on hyperbolic geometry, dynamics in several complex variables, convex geometry, and volume estimation. Each lecture begins with a discussion of elementary concepts, examines the highlights of the field, and concludes with a look at more advanced material. The style and presentation of the chapters are clear and accessible, and most of the lectures are richly illustrated. Bibiliographies and indexes are included to encourage further reading on the topics discussed.
Free DownloadFixing Truancy Now : Inviting Students Back to Class By Jonathan Shute; Bruce S., Cooper
2014 | 124 Pages | ISBN: 1475810059 | EPUB | 1 MB
Truancy is a complex issue that continues to plague schools, and many blame truancy problems on students, parents, and socioeconomic factors. However, truancy is more than juvenile delinquents skipping school to have fun or be with friends. In Fixing Truancy Now: Inviting Students Back to Class, author Bruce S. Cooper posits that truancy is an indication that school curricula and pedagogy are not serving students’ needs as well as they should, especially when it comes to ethnic minority students and English language learners. This book explores: different types of truancy; major research in the field; and how teachers, school leaders, and students can work together in solving this problem. Ultimately this book offers hope that teachers, parents, and school leaders can find solutions to this multifaceted problem through collaborative problem-solving.
Free DownloadKen Blanchard, "Find A Broken Wall: 7 ancient principles for 21st century leaders"
English | 2012 | ISBN: 189486042X | EPUB | pages: 176 | 0.4 mb
When it is assumed there is little more to say about leadership, Brian Stiller surprises us with new, fresh and creative insights. Unwrapping the ancient Old Testament story of Nehemiah, he identifies 7 principles on building and renewing ministries and organizations. Surrounding these principles are workable concepts connected to inspiring stories of faith. Drawing on a lifetime of leadership, he writes about what it takes to lead. He examines the challenges leaders face, surveying them first from 33,000 feet, then at ground level describing what it takes to move from an idea to effective completion. The freshness of his stories and the clarity of his counsel come from a real life experience―this is what he has done. Framed by the ancient story of Nehemiah, the Hebrew who returned to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, Stiller examines the text and draws from his own life experiences, then skillfully applies the principles of Nehemiah to 21st Century leaders. Stiller doesn’t back down from facing the challenges of leading: he makes it clear it is not for the faint hearted. He faces what leaders inevitably must deal with―politics isn’t everything but everything is political.
Free DownloadFighters across frontiers: Transnational resistance in Europe, 1936-48 edited by Robert Gildea, Ismee Tames
English | November 5, 2020 | ISBN: 1526151243 | True EPUB | 376 pages | 1.8 MB
This landmark book, the product of years of research by a team of two dozen historians, reveals that resistance to occupation by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy during the Second World War was not narrowly delineated by country but startlingly international. Tens of thousands of fighters across Europe resisted ‘transnationally’, travelling to join networks far from their homes. These ‘foreigners’ were often communists and Jews who were already being persecuted and on the move. Others were expatriate business people, escaped POWs, forced labourers or deserters. Their experiences would prove personally transformative and greatly affected the course of the conflict. From the International Brigades in Spain to the onset of the Cold War and the foundation of the state of Israel, they played a significant part in a period of upheaval and change during the long Second World War.

Free DownloadFamilies in Rehabilitation Counseling : A Community-Based Rehabilitation Approach By Irmo Marini; Michael Millington; CLCP CRC DSc PhD Irmo Marini
2014 | 328 Pages | ISBN: 0826198759 | EPUB | 1 MB
Presents an innovative family-based approach to rehabilitation counseling that can be put to use immediately While the family has traditionally been a secondary consideration in rehabilitation, this graduate text presents an innovative approach to rehabilitation counseling that focuses on the family as the center of a person-centered model, rather than as an adjunct to individual counseling. It advocates counseling in the context of community, requiring the recognition of social transaction as the primary focus of all interventions. The book provides the tools and knowledge base to effectively work with the family and within the community, delivering a new inclusive model of care and establishing best practices in research, practice, training, and management. The text examines the rationale for embracing family values in rehabilitation counseling and provides a framework that redefines the relationship between counselor and client in the context of family and community. It describes the community-based rehabilitation model in detail according to the International Classification of Function (ICF) and presents a series of illustrative disability profiles–distilled from systematic reviews of the literature–reflecting this framework. In each case, the impact upon family participation is illustrated and optimal service and support resources are identified. The role and function of the rehabilitation counselor provide the integrative conclusion to each chapter. The book also describes grassroots initiatives, the role of family in community-based rehabilitation in developing countries, family policy across rehabilitation systems, and best practices in research, training, and management. Additionally, the text comes with access to an Instructor’s Manual that includes case study discussion questions, classroom activities, and multiple-choice questions. Key Features: – Describes an innovative family-/community-focused approach to rehabilitation counseling, framed in ICF taxonomy – Presents a pragmatic model that can be put to use immediately – Describes an array of family experiences across disability contexts, providing an opportunity to critique current practice through the lens of community-based constructs – Provides plentiful case studies based on family narratives – Broadens the scope of practice with service initiatives from around the world – Includes an Instructor’s Manual with case study discussion questions, classroom activities, and multiple-choice questions
