  New neuroscience research is showing us the long-term impact that reading aloud has on children, stretching all the way into adulthood. We have always known that reading aloud is an important way to bond with your baby and develop language skills. But the latest research, led by author Rekha S. Rajan, shows that individuals who were read to more frequently as children showed a healthier brain in old age. Parents reading to their own child was a valuable and important part of supporting lifelong brain development. The Read Aloud Factor gives parents and caretakers what they need to make read-alouds a regular and enjoyable part of the family routine. This innovative book shares the latest research on brain development, describes how reading aloud supports language and social-emotional development, and provides ideas for integrating STEAM practices of reading aloud with arts and technology. The scientific insight that inspired this project is distilled into accessible, actionable information for parents and educators on how to read aloud in an effective, engaging, and meaningful way. The key to the book is its accessible approach, which combines findings from the most modern research to provide new pathways for parents and caregivers to support their baby's development.

  A human history of one of the planet's most iconic lakes, and the civilizations that surrounded its shores 
   
   
    
  The Dead Sea is a place of many contradictions. Hot springs around the lake are famed for their healing properties, though its own waters are deadly to most lifeforms—even so, civilizations have built ancient cities and hilltop fortresses around its shores for centuries. The protagonists in its story are not only Jews and Arabs, but also Greeks, Nabataeans, Romans, Crusaders and Mamluks. Today it has become a tourist hotspot, but its drying basin is increasingly under threat. 
   
   
    
  In this panoramic account, Nir Arielli explores the history of the Dead Sea from the first Neolithic settlements to the present day. Moving through the ages, Arielli reveals the religious, economic, military, and scientific importance of the lake, which has been both a source of great wealth and a site of war. The Dead Sea weaves together a tapestry of the lake's human stories—and amidst environmental degradation and renewed conflict, makes a powerful case for why it should be saved.

  Medical research is the backbone of advancing healthcare, providing critical insights that shape clinical practices, influence public health policies, and guide the development of new treatments. The primary goal of medical research is to generate reliable and reproducible evidence that can inform decisions on diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases. By understanding the methods of medical research, healthcare professionals and researchers can better evaluate, design, and implement studies that contribute to improving patient care. 
  The importance of research in medicine cannot be overstated, as it allows for the discovery of new knowledge, the development of innovative therapies, and the evaluation of existing medical practices. Medical research has been instrumental in reducing mortality rates, improving the quality of life, and enhancing the effectiveness of treatments. Moreover, it plays a crucial role in addressing emerging health challenges, such as pandemics, chronic diseases, and antimicrobial resistance. 
  At the heart of medical research are study designs, which dictate the methodology for investigating hypotheses and answering research questions. Different types of research designs are used depending on the objectives of the study, the nature of the research question, and the available resources. These designs are broadly categorized into two types: experimental and observational. Experimental designs, such as randomized controlled trials (RCTs), involve the manipulation of variables to test the effects of an intervention, whereas observational designs, such as cohort or case-control studies, examine associations without direct manipulation. Each design has its strengths and limitations, and the choice of design depends on the specific research question, ethical considerations, and feasibility.

  Miner's Day

  Miner's Day is a testament to coal mining communities in the mid-twentieth century. First published by Penguin Books as a slim paperback in 1945, it married a reflective text by Britain's outstanding miner-writer, B. L. Coombes, to illustrations by the artist Isabel Alexander.
  The original text is now republished in a generous new format with a substantial introduction and the full wealth of images that Isabel Alexander made in an extended project to document people and places in the South Wales coalfield – a unique addition to the visual representation of mining communities.
  Bert Coombes in words and Isabel Alexander in images each aimed to reveal the layered reality of coal-mining communities to a distant public. They documented both work below ground and devastated environments above. They described the lives not just of working men but women, children and older people too. They saw poverty and despair but also love, hope and even humour. The South Wales they captured echoes similar communities across the world and evolving global challenges to health, work and environment. Miner's Day is as relevant now as it was in 1945.
