  Pulmonology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases affecting the respiratory system. The respiratory system, comprising the lungs, airways, and associated structures, is vital for the process of respiration, which allows the body to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. Pulmonology addresses a broad range of conditions, from common ailments like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to more complex disorders such as lung cancer, pulmonary hypertension, and interstitial lung disease. This field plays a critical role in ensuring optimal lung health and preventing the potentially debilitating effects of respiratory conditions. 
  The importance of pulmonology has grown significantly in recent years due to the increasing prevalence of respiratory diseases worldwide. Factors such as air pollution, smoking, and the global rise in respiratory infections have contributed to the heightened demand for specialized care in pulmonology. Chronic respiratory diseases, such as asthma and COPD, are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally. Early diagnosis, effective treatment, and ongoing management are key to improving quality of life and reducing the burden of these diseases on patients and healthcare systems. 
  Pulmonologists are medical professionals who specialize in diagnosing and treating respiratory diseases. They are trained to perform a variety of diagnostic procedures, including pulmonary function tests, imaging studies, and bronchoscopy, to assess lung function and identify underlying conditions. Pulmonologists also manage respiratory diseases through a combination of pharmacological treatments, lifestyle modifications, and, in some cases, surgical interventions. They work closely with other healthcare providers, including primary care physicians, oncologists, and thoracic surgeons, to deliver comprehensive care for patients with complex respiratory conditions.

  Written by Richard James, Chess for Schools: From simple strategy games to clubs and competitions is a great resource to help teachers encourage children to enjoy the benefits and challenges of the chess game
  Chess is a game of extraordinary excitement and beauty and all children should have the opportunity to experience it. Indeed, many claim that playing abstract strategy games such as chess provides a wide range of cognitive and social benefits- such as improvements in problem-solving ability and communication skills.
  However, Richard James argues that, because of the complexity of chess, most younger children would gain more benefit from simpler chess-based strategy games and incremental learning. In this practical handbook, Richard provides a wide range of games and puzzles based on these principles which are appropriate for primary schools and explains how teachers can identify children who would benefit from starting young.
  Richard also sets out how this approach can engage the whole community, including working with children with special needs, getting parents involved in learning and playing, and developing partnerships between primary and secondary schools.
  Chess for Schools shares the latest research into how children process information, combined with insights into international best practice in teaching chess to young children. The book demonstrates the transformative effect chess can have on older children, and how this can be promoted in secondary schools. Richard James offers valuable insights into the greater context of chess-playing, expressing how and why chess is a joy to so many worldwide andshares a series of resources and minigames for teachers to use with their learners.
  An ideal resource for primary and secondary school teachers wanting to introduce their pupils to chess.

  Technology in Education -...

  Technology has played a crucial role in transforming education, evolving from simple tools like chalk and slates to modern digital platforms that facilitate learning in new and dynamic ways. As society has advanced, so has the need for more innovative teaching methods that enhance students’ understanding, engagement, and accessibility to knowledge. The journey of educational technology is a testament to human creativity and the desire to improve learning experiences across generations. 
  In the early stages of formal education, teaching methods relied heavily on oral instruction, handwritten texts, and rudimentary visual aids. With the invention of the printing press in the 15th century, books became more widely available, revolutionizing how information was shared and retained. This breakthrough allowed for the standardization of curricula and the spread of literacy on a much larger scale. Over time, blackboards and chalk became staple tools in classrooms, offering a way for teachers to visually illustrate lessons. 
  The 20th century marked a significant shift in educational technology. The introduction of radio and television into learning environments allowed educators to reach wider audiences, particularly in remote areas. In the 1960s and 1970s, computers began appearing in schools, though their use was initially limited to basic programming and computational tasks. As the digital revolution progressed, personal computers became more accessible, paving the way for multimedia presentations, digital research, and interactive learning experiences.

  What if the greatest threat to society wasn’t ignorance—but cleverness without conscience? 
  Clouds by Aristophanes is a scathing comedic masterpiece that lampoons Socratic philosophy and the Athenian obsession with rhetorical trickery. This modern translation revives the wit, rhythm, and political punch of Aristophanes’ classic play, in which a debt-ridden father seeks to cheat his way to freedom by mastering the art of deceit—under the tutelage of a ridiculous, cloud-dwelling Socrates. 
  What you’ll discover inside: 
  •	A satirical comedy skewering philosophy, education, and generational conflict 
  •	A wildly irreverent portrait of Socrates and his absurd “Thinkery” 
  •	A sharp critique of sophistry, relativism, and rhetorical manipulation 
  •	A lively and accessible modern translation of Aristophanes’ classic 
  Join the riotous drama where logic tangles, thunder rumbles, and the line between wisdom and foolishness vanishes in the clouds.

  The biggest challenge for authors is transitioning from being a writer to being an author, which are two totally different occupations. Many authors have the mindset that once they are published, their publisher handles all marketing and the sales come in like magic. In today's world, that is not reality, no matter how you are published. 
   
  Written by publisher and author, Terri Ann Leidich, and author marketing coach and support, Julie Bromley, this book simplifies marketing by taking the approach of Get Ready, Get Set, Succeed, putting marketing tasks into a logical order of what needs to be done and when so authors don't have to figure that out for themselves
