  The Language of Climate Politics...

  In an illuminating analysis, Dr. Genevieve Guenther shows that the climate debate is not, in fact, neatly polarized, with Republicans obstructing climate action and Democrats advancing climate solutions. Partisans on the right and the left often repeat the same fossil-fuel talking points, and this repetition produces a centrist consensus upholding the status quo, even as global heating accelerates.Weaving this analysis through fascinating critical histories of the terms that dominate the language of climate politics—the words we, alarmist, cost, growth, "India and China," innovation, and resilience—Dr. Guenther shows how this consensus is established. Fossil-fuel interests weaponize the discourses of science, economics, and activism, co-opting and twisting climate language to help greenwash their plans for ongoing extraction. But all too often climate scientists, economists, and even advocates will unwittingly echo the false and dangerous assumptions of their supposed political opponents. This apparent agreement between foes, filtered through the news media, not only influences our commonsense yet mistaken views about the climate crisis but also enables powerful decisionmakers to justify the corporate and policy actions that threaten us all. Revealing this dynamic, Guenther shows how to transform it.

  A funny, poignant look at how horse sense has brought one woman wisdom about life and leadership: “You’ll enjoy this book.”—Buck Brannaman, author of The Faraway Horses   Horses teach life’s great lessons—about the importance of consistency, the value of leading by respect instead of dominance, the wisdom of practicing patience instead of trying to force things. Horsewoman and author Cheryl Kimball uses endearing real-life stories of working with horses to reveal what these remarkable animals have taught her about managing a company, being a leader for employees in times of trouble, and living everyday life more deeply and authentically.   You don’t need a horse to apply the life lessons of Horse Wise. Sharing entertaining and enlightening stories, Kimball explains how the lessons learned from the horse world apply to the world of people and our relationships with each other—and ourselves. When we put ourselves in a horse’s shoes, we gain compassion and wisdom—and we get what we need.

  Rebel Minds - Class War Mass...

  We understand the world on the basis of our experience. How can we know if our experience is unique to us or common to many? 
  As a physician, I listened to hundreds of people's experiences. Their stories enabled me to see social patterns that are normally hidden. 
  I learned that most people think of their problems as unique and individual, when they are actually common and social. I discovered that the suffering we label as mental illness is the kind of suffering we would expect when people are trapped in bad situations. Why do we treat this suffering as a personal or medical defect? Why don't we change the conditions that cause suffering? 
  Such questions cannot be left to experts and other authorities. Each of us is personally affected by what happens in society. That gives us the right to express our opinion about what is wrong and to be involved in making it right. How can we do this? 
  Rebel Minds reveals that what we think of as social problems are actually symptoms of a deeper underlying problem, a global capitalist system that divides humanity into classes: a tiny ruling class who compete for wealth and power, a larger manager class who enforce their rule, and the majority working-class who create all social wealth, yet get no say over how that wealth is used. The result is astounding inequality and massive suffering that is justified with the racist explanation that social problems are rooted in biology and cannot be changed. This is dead wrong. 
  As Rebel Minds explains, we do not have to accept how things are. We can build the world we want and deserve. Not by wishing and hoping and trusting authorities, but by understanding how we got here, what keeps us here, and what we must do to end our suffering and make the world safe for everyone.

  Teaching Methods

  The theories and techniques used by teachers to allow pupil learning is included in the teaching methods. These approaches are calculated in portion by the content to be studied and besides by the learner's temperament. To be suitable and profitable for a specific teaching method, it must be related to the learner's characteristics and the species of learning it is assumed to bring about. There are guidelines for developing and choosing teaching methods that need to take into consideration not only the complexity of the subject but also how students are learning. 
  In modern schools, the pattern is such that it promotes a lot of imagination. It is a common fact that human development comes by logic. This reasoning and independent thinking process stimulate creativity. Teaching methods can be generally divided into teacher-centric and student-centric strategies. Teachers are the authoritative figure in this paradigm of the Teacher-Centred Learning Approach.
