Book Description
The Canvas and the Expressions (HB) By: Yaqub Amani We all ask questions about life, death, and the drama of living in a complex universe. The Canvas and the Expressions takes the reader on a journey of mind and soul, pointing to an integrated consciousness and the soul evolution through many states. It examines our being’s inner and outer dimensions, shrouded in a paradox, and directs the attention to observing, perceiving, and witnessing. The hope is that the reader realizes that although the scattered experiences of reality are uniquely the writer’s, they should map a path for their own journey. It is unique because it is not an imposed dogma but a canvas on which the reader’s mind draws perceived impressions. It is about the physical, psychological, and spiritual aspects of states we experience by observing and perceiving realities.

The Art of Changing the Brain
Author: James E. Zull
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000981436
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
Neuroscience tells us that the products of the mind--thought, emotions, artistic creation--are the result of the interactions of the biological brain with our senses and the physical world: in short, that thinking and learning are the products of a biological process.This realization, that learning actually alters the brain by changing the number and strength of synapses, offers a powerful foundation for rethinking teaching practice and one's philosophy of teaching.James Zull invites teachers in higher education or any other setting to accompany him in his exploration of what scientists can tell us about the brain and to discover how this knowledge can influence the practice of teaching. He describes the brain in clear non-technical language and an engaging conversational tone, highlighting its functions and parts and how they interact, and always relating them to the real world of the classroom and his own evolution as a teacher. "The Art of Changing the Brain" is grounded in the practicalities and challenges of creating effective opportunities for deep and lasting learning, and of dealing with students as unique learners.

Operation Do-Over
Author: Gordon Korman
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0063032767
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Unteachables, Gordon Korman, comes a hilarious new high-concept friendship story in the vein of Back to the Future. Perfect for fans of Korman’s Restart. Mason and Ty were once the very best of friends, like two nerdy sides of the same coin . . . until seventh grade, when Ava Petrakis came along. Now Mason can trace everything bad in his life to that terrible fight they had over the new girl. The one thing he’d give anything for is a do-over. But that can’t happen in real life—can it? As a science kid, Mason knows do-overs are impossible, so he can’t believe it when he wakes up from a freak accident and finds himself magically transported back to seventh grade. His parents aren’t yet divorced and his beloved sheepdog is still alive. Best of all, he and Ty haven’t had their falling-out yet. It makes no logical sense, but Mason is determined to use this second chance to not only save his friendship (and his dog!) but do other things differently—like trying out for the football team and giving new friends a chance. There’s just one person he’ll be avoiding at all costs: Ava. But despite his best efforts, will he be able to stop the chain of events that made his previous life implode?
