Summary

"Language Craft" presents a comprehensive exploration of effective communication, challenging the notion that superior writing is an innate talent rather than a learnable skill. This groundbreaking guide dissects the mechanics of language through three fundamental pillars: precise word selection, structural syntax, and stylistic elements, offering readers a systematic approach to mastering written communication.The book uniquely combines insights from linguistics, cognitive psychology, and communication theory to demonstrate how conscious language choices impact comprehension and persuasion. Through a methodical progression, readers first explore the nuanced world of word choice, discovering how subtle differences between synonyms can dramatically alter meaning. The text then advances through sentence structure and rhetorical style, building a complete framework for language mastery that's supported by empirical research and real-world case studies.What sets this guide apart is its practical, tutorial-based approach to complex linguistic concepts, making it particularly valuable for professional communicators and educators. Rather than relying on anecdotal evidence, the book grounds its teachings in computational analysis and cognitive studies, while maintaining accessibility for readers with basic grammar knowledge. Each chapter systematically builds upon previous material, incorporating exercises and examples that bridge theoretical understanding with practical application, ultimately empowering readers to craft more effective and impactful written communication.

    Powerful Questioning -...

    Foreword by John Hattie.
    Questioning is a staple feature of a teacher's toolkit across all phases of education. Classrooms are awash with explanation, modelling and feedback, but of all the pedagogical strategies at a teacher's disposal, questioning is one of the most important. It is the heartbeat of a classroom. While the art of asking a question seems relatively straightforward, to what extent do teachers consider the types of questions they're using? Are the questions they ask students actually helping to support learning? InPowerful Questioning,Michael Chiles delves into the complexity of asking questions and how best to use this pedagogical tool as a powerful springboard to support learning in the classroom.
    Teachers are described by many as 'professional question-askers' and the use of questioning in the teaching and learning process dates back to one of the most influential users and developers of questions, the Greek philosopher Socrates. Socrates believed that by asking questions we encourage reflection, and that their use is most effective when we create a continual loop of dialogue between the asker and the receiver, to allow movement from surface to deeper level thinking.Powerful Questioningtakes inspiration from this, providing original theory that relates back to the historical use of questioning in the classroom throughout.
    Offering a fresh perspective on how questioning can be engineered to support effective learning,Powerful Questioningexamines the reasons behind the questions we ask and reveals the power of asking the right questions, in the right way, at the right time. It details a set of core principles, recommendations and classroom-based practical examples that can be used to implement powerful questioning both in the classroom and wider school.
    Michael's aim is to help teachers become research-informed on the theories around the use of questioning in the classroom, whilst also providing a wide range of practical classroom-based strategies. Readers will take away specific examples from a broad range of case studies in which teachers at different phases of education (from Key Stages one to five) share how they use questioning to improve learning and retention.
    Essential reading for all teachers and school leaders.

    Juvenile crime doesn’t just happen—there is always a story behind it. 
    Before Their Crimes: What We’re Misunderstanding about Childhood Trauma, Youth Crime, and the Path to Healing is a ground-breaking audiobook that sheds new light on the relationship of childhood trauma and juvenile crime. Wendy Smith uses the framework of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) to explain how the toxic stress of early childhood trauma can make children vulnerable to committing criminal acts. Smith draws from interviews with twenty men and women from across the racial and social divide who spent years in prison after committing serious crimes as children. Smith not only reveals the pernicious mechanisms that link early trauma to later crime, but also illuminates the potential for healing among even the most egregious offenders.

    An insider's look into the largely anonymous volunteers in local party organizations who make decisions in elections with profound implications for American democracy. 
     
     
     
    Although scholars have long recognized that local American parties play an important role in elections, surprisingly little is known about the individuals who lead these typically small, volunteer-based organizations. As David Doherty, Conor M. Dowling, and Michael G. Miller show in Small Power, local party leaders influence the electoral process in myriad ways: They recruit and support candidates, interface with state-wide and federal campaigns, and get out the vote in their communities. Drawing from a survey of over 850 Democratic and Republican local party chairs, a nationally representative sample of voters, and dozens of in-depth interviews, the authors describe how parties are organized, who party chairs are, and how they serve the party. Leveraging novel experiments that illuminate how chairs make choices about which individuals to recruit as candidates—as well as whether those choices reflect voters' preferences—Small Power sheds new light on how seemingly mundane local decisions can shape party goals, influence candidate pipelines, and affect who ends up winning elections.

    A NEW MONEY STORY: The Beliefs, Behaviors, and Brain Science to Rewire for Wealth 
    Book Summary 
    Neuroscientists estimate that over 90 percent of our operating systems—beliefs, behaviors, patterns—are 
    unconscious. Since the surface story determines less than 10 percent of our decisions, how can we 
    illuminate the shadow story responsible for over 90 percent of what we do each day? Once we 
    systematically understand our relationship with money, our individual meanings and symbolism, can we 
    overcome the mind and brain’s resistance to change? 
    A NEW MONEY STORY: The Beliefs, Behaviors, and Brain Science to Rewire for Wealth will help you 
    recognize, own, and assess each component of your money story. You can then decide what to change, 
    map changes, author new storylines, and even program the changes to transform core identity to make it 
    complete and lasting. This systematic stepwise process to inform and strategically catalyze behavior 
    change will rewrite mind software and revise brain hardware of money stories as they are interwoven with 
    life, wellness, relationship, and career stories. These behavior, mind, and brain changes offer long-term 
    successful strategies, and even can crystallize a vision of your future self to significantly affect positive 
    money decisions.
