by Claudia Aldana SalinasUn libro imprescindible para los fans de la columna #Treinta y Uno#, donde disfrutarán de las más hilarantes historias escritas sobre los más variados y originales temas de solteras. La protagonista del libro, Consuelo Aldunate parece tenerlo todo: independencia financiera, un buen grupo de amigos, un trabajo entretenido, un guardarropas envidiable y un departamento top.

No cualquiera: uno propio, privatizado y a la vista de quien se le cruce por delante. Por eso, pone manos a la obra y sale en busca de un novio por todos los lugares en que podría haber hombres disponibles. Pero en la búsqueda pasará más de un mal rato. Entre copas y citas que fallan, irá descubriendo que ser soltera tiene su lado amargo. Que por muy de moda que se vea ser singleton, hay ratos en que ella daría lo que fuera por tener a alguien esperándola en casa.Con un oído que la crítica ha calificado como #fulminante# y #extraordinario#, la periodista Claudia Aldana va construyendo, semanalmente, un retrato descarnado e hilarante sobre la vida de las solteras santiaguinas. Éste, es un libro imperdible para los fans de la columna #Treinta y Uno#, ya que no es sólo una recopilación. Podrán leer las versiones originales de los textos y una selección de los mejores reportajes escritos por el personaje sobre los más variados y originales temas de solteras.

33 Ways to Help with Reading: Supporting Children who Struggle with Basic Skills (Thirty Three Ways to Help with....)
by Raewyn HickeyThirty Three Ways to Help with Reading equips teachers and teaching assistants with a wide range of practical resources to help children who are having difficulties learning the basic skills of reading. By providing a range of activities and games which engage children and encourage motivation in the classroom, the book provides ready-to-use material that doesn’t need lengthy forward preparation. These practical and fun ideas incorporate a range of learning styles, using kinaesthetic and auditory techniques, which put the emphasis on ‘games’ rather than ‘work’. The activities are therefore ideal for use with children who do not benefit from a traditional approach to reading. The book works step-by-step through activities which cover the key stages in the process of learning to read: Learning letters Recalling frequently used words Hearing sounds in words Blending sounds Reading for meaning The ‘how to help’ approach of the book is ideal for teachers and teaching assistants wanting to give quality learning experiences for those children experiencing difficulties with reading. With all the resources needed for the games included, the book provides quick and easy to use ideas, which can be implemented instantly in the classroom. The Routledge ’33 ways…’ series of practical ‘how-to’ books is for teachers, teaching assistants and SENCOs who are in need of fresh ideas to teach pupils in their care who are struggling with basic skills. It provides them with the tools to make good provision for a range of children in their class, and are planned to be a resource from which they can extract ideas and materials without having to plough through chapters of theory and research. Raewyn Hickey is an experienced classroom teacher who has worked in both the Literacy Initiative for Teachers project in Westminster and as a consultant for the Primary Strategy.
365 Days / 365 Plays
by Suzan-Lori Parks"Suzan-Lori Parks is one of the most important dramatists America has produced."-Tony Kushner "The plan was that no matter what I did, how busy I was, what other commitments I had, I would write a play a day, every single day for a year. It would be about being present and being committed to the artistic process every single day, regardless of the 'weather.' It became a daily meditation, a daily prayer celebrating the rich and strange process of a writing life."-Suzan-Lori Parks On November 13, 2002, the incomparable Suzan-Lori Parks got an idea to write a play every day for a year. She began that very day, finishing one year later. The result is an extraordinary testament to artistic commitment. This collection of 365 impeccably crafted pieces, each with its own distinctive characters and dramatic power, is a complete work by an artist responding to her world, each and every day. Parks is one of the American theater's most wily and innovative writers, and her "stark but poetic language and fiercely idiosyncratic images transform her work into something haunting and marvelous" (TIME).

3D Research Challenges in Cultural Heritage IV: Risk Prevention and Monitoring Methods (Lecture Notes in Computer Science #13577)
by Marinos Ioannides Daniel Oliveira Giovanni IssiniThis open access book presents a collection of papers focusing on a range of digital technologies and their use in the protection and restoration of cultural heritage. Digital tools - from 3D scanning and photogrammetry to Heritage Building Information Modeling (HBIM), Digital Twins, and Extended Reality (XR) - are transforming the way we understand and care for tangible heritage. These technologies are applied to both record the physical form and material conditions of a site and to permit simulations of deterioration, design interventions, and careful reconstruction. A central theme of this volume is post-disaster restoration and how the scientific and technical aspects of restoration can be made accessible to a broader audience through innovative visualizations, interactive platforms and storytelling. Digital tools should not only serve experts but also allow the public to participate both on-site and remotely via the web. This book advocates a holistic approach to heritage management, combining cutting-edge technology with local knowledge, risk analysis with creative reuse, and positioning the act of restoration as a bridge connecting the past, present and future.
