    In Teach for Climate Justice, accomplished educator and social and emotional learning expert Tom Roderick proposes a visionary interdisciplinary and intersectional approach to PreK–12 climate education. He argues that meaningful instruction on this urgent issue of our time must focus on climate justice—the convergence of climate change and social justice—in a way that is emotionally safe, developmentally appropriate, and ultimately empowering. 
     
     
      
    Drawing on examples of real-life educators teaching climate change, Roderick identifies eight key dimensions of climate education that will prepare students to face the challenges of the climate crisis and give them the means to take action. These dimensions include not only educating for a deep understanding of the scientific, geopolitical, and socioeconomic equity issues that surround global warming, but also cultivating appreciation for the environment, building a supportive community, and fostering active hope for the future. In support of this crucial endeavor, Roderick suggests evidence-based teaching strategies, practices that promote inclusivity, and tools for social and emotional learning. 
     
     
      
    This timely and uplifting book lays out a powerful vision for teaching, learning, and curriculum development to nurture a generation of courageous, informed advocates for climate justice.

    Wearable technology has rapidly transformed from a niche innovation to an integral part of modern life. From smartwatches that count our steps to clothing embedded with biometric sensors, wearable tech is shaping how we manage our health, interact with our environment, and even express our personal style. The evolution of wearables reflects not only advancements in hardware and software but also shifting consumer expectations toward more seamless and personalized digital experiences. 
    The origins of wearable technology can be traced back to simple pedometers and heart rate monitors used in fitness. Over time, these devices evolved with the integration of wireless communication, miniaturized sensors, and artificial intelligence. Today, wearables are capable of monitoring a range of physiological and environmental data in real time. They’re designed to be both functional and discreet, often appearing as everyday accessories like watches, rings, eyeglasses, or even fabric. This convergence of fashion and function has helped wearables gain mainstream appeal across various demographics. 
    At the heart of wearable technology are several key components. Sensors are fundamental, enabling the device to track everything from movement to temperature to heart rate variability. These sensors collect data, which is then processed by microprocessors embedded within the wearable. Wireless connectivity, typically through Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, allows information to be transmitted to smartphones or cloud-based platforms for analysis and visualization. The user interface, often displayed through a mobile app, gives individuals meaningful feedback that helps them make informed decisions about their health and lifestyle.

    Brushing and flossing are essential components of dental health, but that is not what this book is about! According to Dr. Garcia, a clean mouth becomes “dirty” because of the things done to it or placed in it by conventional dental practices. That’s because traditional dentistry is primarily concerned with pain and appearance. No one likes an aching tooth – it often drives us to the dentist in the first place. And we all want perfectly arranged pearly whites with no gaps. These are not wrong desires, but without proper concern for the patient’s health beyond the oral cavity, long-term damage can be done to vitality and length of life. Teeth, gums, and jawbone are connected to the rest of the body through the circulatory system, the lymphatic system, the digestive system, the respiratory system, and the nervous system. That means that what happens in the mouth never stays there. The materials and procedures used to produce a great-looking smile often dump toxins, pathogens, and other stresses on the oral tissues and the rest of the body that wreak havoc in many places. As a holistic dentist, Dr. Garcia can guide you into good choices about your dental care that will not sacrifice either a good-looking smile or your overall health and longevity. As you’ll soon see, a cleaner mouth does promote a longer life!

    How To Make It In Nursing As A...

    Are you a man looking to get into nursing and do not know how to? 
    Do you wish to understand just what it takes to become a nurse in a female-dominated field? 
    If so, then you have come to the right place. 
    This book will usher you into the world of being a male nurse and thriving at it! 
    For a better part of the last decade, nursing has been considered a female domain, with men being looked at as anomalies in the field. The view that men cannot make good nurses has thus led to widespread stereotypes of men who get into the field. Men in nursing are generally often viewed with suspicion, with people even questioning their sexual orientation.  
    However, as you will learn in this book, nursing had originally been a field meant for men. During the old periods up until the 19thcentury, large-scale caregiving was a role that was meant for men. Thus, this already defeats the stereotype that men lack the necessary temperament to get into nursing. 
    Furthermore, men who get into nursing consider it the most fulfilling profession that they could choose and simply want to care for people. 
    So, perhaps you may be wondering… 
    Why is it hard for men to get into nursing? 
    What are some of the challenges male nurses face in the profession? 
    How do female nurses react to and treat their male colleagues? 
    What are male nurses doing to change the negative perception of men in the field? 
    What does the future hold for male nurses? 
    If these and many questions are bothering you, then this is the book that answers them and more, as it covers the ins and outs of becoming a male nurse and how to make the best of it.
