Numbed!
by David LubarWhen Logan’s class takes a trip to a math museum, his mischievous friend Benedict is sure it will be a boring day—until he discovers a robot and its creator in an off-limits area. The robot proves feisty, and soon both boys get zapped. They realize only later that they’d left the museum without their math skills. To get back the knowledge they need for school—not to mention buying food at the mall, divvying up dinner at home, and much more—they’ll have to get back to the museum and pass a series of math challenges. Being “numbed” teaches Logan and Benedict just how useful, and even fun, math can be.

La nueva educación: Los retos y desafíos de un maestro de hoy
by César Bona¿Por qué ya no son tan importantes los libros de texto? ¿Por qué hay que relativizar la importancia de los deberes? ¿Por qué se debe educar en empatía? ¿Por qué la educación debe estar por encima de todos los gobiernos? La nueva educación es el testimonio sincero y valioso de un maestro de hoy. «Cada niño es un universo. Todos los niños son extraordinarios y no basta con llenarles la cabeza de datos, sino que hay que facilitarles herramientas como conocimiento, empatía, sensibilidad y resiliencia para que puedan salir fortalecidos de las situaciones adversas. Deben saber que si se proponen algo y luchan por ello, pueden conseguirlo, y que de ellos depende que el mundo sea un lugar mejor.»César Bona César Bona, uno de los cincuenta mejores maestros del mundo según el Global Teacher Prize, el llamado Premio Nobel de los profesores, nos aclara en este libro que ser maestro no es acomodar a los alumnos a unos planes de estudio: todo educador debe adaptarse al motor imparable y entusiasmado de un niño. Hay que motivarles, estimular su creatividad y aguijonear su curiosidad; porque los niños no son solo los adultos del mañana: son habitantes del presente. En primera persona, César Bona relata anécdotas, nos cuenta los momentos clave en su vida que le convirtieron en el maestro que es en la actualidad, y nos muestra que la metodología de enseñanza más efectiva es implicarse con los alumnos. Porque el educador es un ser privilegiado, que puede impartir y compartir sus conocimientos en tribu. Porque otra educación es posible. La crítica ha dicho...«César está abriendo nuevos horizontes para los niños. Está creando líderes del futuro, animándoles a tomar las riendas para emprender acciones y cambiar actitudes -y prácticas- en sus sociedades.»Jane Goodall «Enseña a sus alumnos a disfrutar de la naturaleza y de los animales, hacer películas, jugar, imaginar y pensar en los demás. También les enseña inglés, historia y matemáticas, pero lo más importante para él es que sean buenas personas.»Nativel Preciado, Tiempo

Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, And Happiness
by Richard H. Thaler Cass R. SunsteinEvery day, we make decisions on topics ranging from personal investments to schools for our children to the meals we eat to the causes we champion. Unfortunately, we often choose poorly. The reason, the authors explain, is that, being human, we all are susceptible to various biases that can lead us to blunder. Our mistakes make us poorer and less healthy; we often make bad decisions involving education, personal finance, health care, mortgages and credit cards, the family, and even the planet itself. Thaler and Sunstein invite us to enter an alternative world, one that takes our humanness as a given. They show that by knowing how people think, we can design choice environments that make it easier for people to choose what is best for themselves, their families, and their society. Using colorful examples from the most important aspects of life, Thaler and Sunstein demonstrate how thoughtful "choice architecture" can be established to nudge us in beneficial directions without restricting freedom of choice.
Nudes on Location
by Bill LemonBill Lemon is a veteran shooter who has mastered the art of creating evocative nude and glamour images in an endless array of locations and scenarios, achieving striking, evocative portraits every time. In his newest book, Bill teaches readers how to re-create some of his favorite portrait looks outdoors, where the stakes are high, the light is every changing, and environmental unknowns lurk at every corner. Presenting 60 main images, Bill provides readers with a bottom-up look at the strategy used to create the shot -from the conceptualization, to the location scouting, to the camera and lens settings, to the posing and composition. You’ll discover great tips for inspiring the model’s confidence, creating graceful lines in the body, maximizing body contours with light an shadow to emphasize the model’s assets and downplay flaws, and more. In each of the sixty portrait sections, you’ll find supplemental images that show how lights and/or modifiers were positioned, how image flaws were corrected, and/or review alternate poses that will help the model build variety in her portfolio.

Nuances of Blackness in the Canadian Academy: Teaching, Learning, and Researching while Black
by Awad Ibrahim, Tamari Kitossa, Malinda S. Smith and Handel K. WrightThe essays in Nuances of Blackness in the Canadian Academy make visible the submerged stories of Black life in academia. They offer fresh historical, social, and cultural insights into what it means to teach, learn, research, and work while Black. In daring to shift from margin to centre, the book’s contributors confront two overlapping themes. First, they resist a singular construction of Blackness that masks the nuances and multiplicity of what it means to be and experience the academy as Black people. Second, they challenge the stubborn durability of anti-Black tropes, the dehumanization of Blackness, persistent deficit ideologies, and the tyranny of low expectations that permeate the dominant idea of Blackness in the white colonial imagination. Operating at the intersections of discourse and experience, contributors reflect on how Blackness shapes academic pathways, ignites complicated and often difficult conversations, and reimagines Black pasts, presents, and futures. This unique collection contributes to the articulation of more nuanced understandings of the ways in which Blackness is made, unmade, and remade in the academy and the implications for interrelated dynamics across and within post-secondary education, Black communities in Canada, and global Black diasporas.
