Summary

In 50 thoughtful steps, Dr. Crowley guides you through the process of creating a learning environment that will motivate your STEM students to complete rigorous and long-duration STEM projects. In this first-in-a-series guide, Dr. Crowley shares techniques that have motivated his STEM students to perform at high levels over the last 25 years. In the Principle in Practice areas of this book he lays out clear examples of how he applies each of the 50 steps/principles in his classroom. Dr. Crowley's ability to excite students about Engineering and Robotics has been recognized by many organizations over the years, and most recently in 2015, when he was named an Excite Award recipient from the Lemelson Foundation-MIT School of Engineering.

    Heavy weather is a lurking spectre that most of us hope and plan to avoid, but not even internet forecasting can make it go away. Anyone intent on crossing oceans must be ready to deal with it if it comes, as well it may. Even well-informed inshore and continental-shelf sailors will inevitably be caught out sooner or later. The object of this slim, quickly absorbed volume is to give everyone, whatever their passage-making aspirations, a sound brief so that whether they find themselves at the wrong end of a force-six blow along the coast, or confronting serious waves far out at sea, they are fully aware of their options for taking it in their stride.Heavy weather is a lurking spectre that most of us hope and plan to avoid, but not even internet forecasting can make it go away.

    Rachel Kaplan describes the Urban Homesteading Movement as “…not only a food movement but also a movement of people who are about conservation of energy, water, and waste. It is a movement of learning to live with less impact on the earth, with a greater sense of what it means to be part of the place where we live, and to be thinking ecologically.”

    In the heart of the Congo is rumored to live a dinosaur called Mokele-Mbembe, or the god-beast. A handful of scientific expeditions have searched for it over the years with little success, but Nugent relied less on science than a desire to document the obscure. He made his way by dugout canoe and foot to Lake Tele, reputed home of the brontosaurus-like creature. It’s an environment little changed since the age of dinosaurs and he spent weeks paddling and trekking the area. He finally spotted a periscope-shaped object moving through the water. But when he tried to get closer, his guides threatened to shoot him, explaining that the “the god can approach man, but man never approaches the god.” Nugent’s photographs have been reprinted hundreds of times by those who believe in the god-beast. Drums Along the Congo merited inclusion on “Best 50 Books of the Year” list compiled by every major US newspaper.

    This book explores the concepts of our planet Earth being a conscious entity, and all of the incredible places life has been found, around, on, and inside our planet. 
    I believe that planet Earth (also known as Gaia) is a conscious being in its own right. Many of the ancients also believed the same thing. 
    Even metaphysical philosophies like Theosophy talk about the Gaia consciousness and that there are even higher level beings like the Solar Logos. 
    There is an amazing amount of life on Earth—much of which has only been discovered in recent decades. 
    For example: did you know that life penetrates the Earth’s crust down to at least seven miles beneath the Ocean’s seabed, and possibly much deeper. 
    That life exists in Lake Vostok beneath the Antarctic Ice which hasn’t been in contact with the surface for many thousands of years? 
    There has also been new bacteria found on the International Space Station and in meteorites which have hit the Earth. 
    Life exists on our planet in many unusual and amazing places and you will be amazed at its diversity.
