Invitación al aprendizaje: El placer de aprender durante toda la vida
by Eduardo Sáenz de CabezónCÓMO DISFRUTAR DE UNA VIDA PLENA GRACIAS A LA CURIOSIDAD Y EL APRENDIZAJE. ¿Se puede aprender durante toda la vida? ¿Soy capaz de aprender algo nuevo? ¿Cuáles son los mejores métodos para aprender? ¿Es verdad que la buena salud se relaciona con el aprendizaje? ¿Y qué tiene que ver el aprendizaje con la felicidad? El aprendizaje es la capacidad más extraordinaria de nuestro cerebro, lo que equivale a decir que es la capacidad más extraordinaria del ser humano. Que nuestro propio cerebro se modifique, físicamente, para ser capaz de leer, de tocar la guitarra, de realizar complejos cálculos matemáticos..., es una maravilla que no tiene igual en el resto de la naturaleza. Además, esta habilidad la podemos cultivar y alimentar para tener una experiencia del mundo más rica, o bien podemos descuidarla y perder la oportunidad que cada día tenemos al alcance de nuestros sentidos. A través de estudios científicos de psicología cognitiva y neurociencia, y a partir de su propia experiencia como aprendiz y enseñante, Eduardo Sáenz de Cabezón -matemático, profesor y divulgador- nos invita a un viaje fascinante por los misterios del aprendizaje y, de una manera práctica, nos invita a aprender a aprender, a disfrutar de la curiosidad y así a gozar de una vida mucho más plena. ¿ESTÁS LISTO PARA APRENDER A APRENDER? «Mantener una curiosidad activa es uno de los ingredientes principales de una vida plena. Por eso es tan importante que sepamos disfrutar del aprendizaje, que sepamos cómo aprender mejor, y así gozar de una vida de aprendizajes enriquecedores».
Invitation Only: A Private Novel
by Kate Brian Julian PeploeReed Brennan's future is looking as bright as the two-karat diamonds in her new housemates' ears.

She uses the photos to blackmail Reed: Dig up dirt on the most powerful and popular Billings Girls or she will have Reed expelled. And speaking of parties, the Legacy is coming up. It's the invitation-only Halloween party in NYC and it's rumored that Thomas -- Reed's MIA boyfriend -- will be making an appearance there. Too bad Reed isn't even close to invited. Life as a Billings Girl is every bit as glamorous as Reed imagined. What she didn't bargain for is the tangled web of private lies these girls weave.

Invitation to Biblical Theology: Exploring the Shape, Storyline, and Themes of Scripture (Invitation to Theological Studies Series)
by Jeremy M. Kimble Ched SpellmanInvitation to Biblical Theology provides a thorough overview of biblical theology that is accessible for those new to the topic but substantial enough for advanced study. Defining biblical theology as the study of the whole Bible on its own terms, Jeremy Kimble and Ched Spellman begin with a brief history of the discipline followed by a survey of contemporary approaches. They then lay out their own approach, built on the framework of the canon, the covenants, and Christ. Taking God's plan of redemption in Christ as the uniting theme of Scripture, Kimble and Spellman survey the grand storyline of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, showing how each division of the canon moves the overarching story forward. The following ten chapters survey central and recurring themes of Scripture including kingdom, worship, Messiah and atonement, God's glory, and mission. The authors conclude with reflections on how biblical theology can serve the church as well as the academy.

Invited to Know God: The Book of Deuteronomy (Transformative Word)
by A. J. Culp"Goodness like a fetter." The hymn "Come Thou Fount" reminds us that God's laws were created to draw us closer to him. But reading the law is intimidating. Deuteronomy is a long and ancient book full of speeches and laws for a wandering people on the cusp of entering a land filled with hostile nations. What could Deuteronomy have to say for modern readers who face vastly different issues? Invited to Know God shows that Deuteronomy is simply about knowing God. The book is a divine portal, drawing people into the ancient presence of God. To understand God better, we need to understand Deuteronomy better. Rather than being a dusty book of ancient laws, Deuteronomy calls those who love God to know Him better, choose the path to life, and flourish under His loving wisdom and guidance. God's laws bind our wandering hearts to him.

Involving Children and Young People in Health and Social Care Research
by Thilo Boeck Edited by Jennie FlemingLed by both children’s rights perspectives and methodological arguments, there is an increasing emphasis on children and young people’s participation in health and social care research by researchers, policy makers and funding bodies – with many now considering the active involvement of children and young people a requirement. There is little exploration of how to address and overcome the many challenges arising from their participation, however. Divided into five parts, this practical book begins by considering what research with young people is and why we should do it, before leading the reader into how to undertake it. The book then provides practical examples of action and finishes with reflections about the whole process. Bringing together a variety of experienced researchers, from a wide range of backgrounds in health and social care and including young people, the chapters provide insight for practical action, as well as critical and theoretical reflection. Involving Children and Young People in Health and Social Care Research includes issues on: Understanding the reasons and processes for involving children and young people in research Making sure that involvement is meaningful and not merely tokenistic Developing research methods that are commensurate with different ages and abilities Ensuring adequate training and preparation, for children, young people and adults to make involvement meaningful Power and relationships between young people researchers and adult researchers Sustaining young people’s interest and motivation Addressing ethical issues that arise throughout the research journey Committed to partnership and participation throughout the entire process of the active involvement of children and young people in health and social care research, this text provides invaluable insights and is a resource for all those conducting research in and with children and young people.
