Book Description
Examines major myths informing American education and explores how educators can better serve students, increase college retention rates, and develop alternatives to college that don’t disadvantage students on the basis of race or income Each year, as the founding headmaster of the Boston Arts Academy (BAA), an urban high school that boasts a 94 percent college acceptance rate, Linda Nathan made a promise to the incoming freshmen: “All of you will graduate from high school and go on to college or a career.” After fourteen years at the helm, Nathan stepped down and took stock of her alumni: of those who went to college, a third dropped out. Feeling like she failed to fulfill her promise, Nathan reflected on ideas she and others have perpetuated about education: that college is for all, that hard work and determination are enough to get you through, that America is a land of equality. In When Grit Isn’t Enough, Nathan investigates five assumptions that inform our ideas about education today, revealing how these beliefs mask systemic inequity. Seeing a rift between these false promises and the lived experiences of her students, she argues that it is time for educators to face these uncomfortable issues head-on and explores how educators can better serve all students, increase college retention rates, and develop alternatives to college that don’t disadvantage students on the basis of race or income. Drawing on the voices of BAA alumni whose stories provide a window through which to view urban education today, When Grit Isn’t Enough helps imagine greater purposes for schooling.

Book Description
THE WEIGHT OF LEADERSHIP DOESN’T HAVE TO OVERWHELM YOU. Leadership unintentionally distant from God’s presence can be discouraging, even dangerous. It can easily happen because the busyness of ministry can rob you of the blessing of God’s power. Leading from your own ability risks needless mistakes and failures. Outside of God’s power, we lose access to fresh vision, the wisdom only He provides, the ability to lead well through conflict and even supernatural favor. Leadership Alone Isn’t Enough is a devotional filled with practical insights drawn from both scripture and proven experience. It is designed to deepen the direct connection between you and God, allowing you to lead from a place of: • Refreshed faith • Greater wisdom and discernment • Renewed joy • Spiritual confidence • Soul-level strength BRING THE FULLNESS OF GOD TO YOUR LEADERSHIP

Book Description
The reassuring bromides of "chicken soup for the soul" provide little solace for nurses—and the people they serve—in real-life hospitals, nursing homes, schools of nursing, and other settings. In the minefield of modern health care, there are myriad obstacles to quality patient care—including work overload, inadequate funds for nursing education and research, and poor communication between and within the professions, to name only a few. The seventy RNs whose stories are collected here by the award-winning journalist Suzanne Gordon know that effective advocacy isn't easy. It takes nurses willing to stand up for themselves, their coworkers, their patients, and the public. When Chicken Soup Isn't Enough brings together compelling personal narratives from a wide range of nurses from across the globe. The assembled profiles in professional courage provide new insight into the daily challenges that RNs face in North America and abroad—and how they overcome them with skill, ingenuity, persistence, and individual and collective advocacy at work and in the community. In this collection, we meet RNs working at the bedside, providing home care, managing hospital departments, teaching and doing research, lobbying for quality patient care, and campaigning for health care reform. Their stories are funny, sad, deeply moving, inspiring, and always revealing of the different ways that nurses make their voices heard in the service of their profession. The risks and rewards, joys and sorrows, of nursing have rarely been captured in such vivid first-person accounts. Gordon and the authors of the essays contained in this book have much to say about the strengths and shortcomings of health care today—and the role that nurses play as irreplaceable agents of change.

Book Description
When Therapy Isn’t Enough integrates both personal and professional experiences to, for the first time, illuminate the intersection of Christianity and self-help. So many Christians and non-religious people are searching for the actual Word of God as the center to their daily lives, their reasons, and their purpose, and they don’t even know it. They want something less preachy, less shame-based, and more centered on the heart of God and what he stands for. When you focus on the Word of God, it is simple, it is fearless, it is non-religious, and it is practical. Heather allows believers and non-believers to come together in a way that no one feels judged. This book is designed to draw people into an understanding of God’s nature and sovereignty so they can be set free. Heather takes Christianity and makes it less threatening, less guilt-based, less exclusionary, and more welcoming, more accepting, and more inclusive. She connects all of our fears, worries, and trauma and shows us the tools to live a full life in spite of our experiences. This book blends both faith and psychology into a practical yet sustainable method of looking inward and upward for real “self-help.” When you have looked everywhere to no avail, maybe you haven’t looked to the One who can sustain you.

Book Description
The only book focused entirely on long-term usability Many usability issues with digital products and user interfaces (UI) only get noticed after users have spent some time with them.

Instead, this book will guide you through a new set of tools for fixing many of these issues ahead of time. You'll learn: • How to catch long-term issues that often aren't noticed right away • How to spot key improvements and make wiser decisions about where to focus your design efforts • How to redesign interfaces while keeping your current users happy == Learn to design better apps with a set of user-centered design principles focused on improving ease of use over time. What readers are saying: "An excellent guide to building user interfaces strategically." "Changed my perspective [about] building any app or software UI" "I learned so many things from your book!" "A practical guide for designers [with] tools to proactively identify and solve user interface issues" "A new method of approaching usability [with] an in-depth look at solving harder-to-spot issues." "Really opened my eyes. I appreciated the CUPID framework. I already had many knowledge in the field, but this framework [helped] make things more structured."
