Sinossi

For sixty years the dramatic story of the Dunkirk evacuation and the defeat of France—the story of the German conquest of northwest Europe—has been the focus of historical study and dispute, yet myths and misconceptions about this extraordinary event persist. The ruthless efficiency of the German assault, the 'miracle' of Dunkirk, the feeble French defense—these still common assumptions are questioned in Geoffrey Stewart's highly readable and concise account of the campaign. The German victory was not inevitable

    The critical mistake that sabotages OCN exam scores (and how you can avoid it). 
    Passing the OCN exam isn’t a matter of memorizing information or knowing everything there is to know. 
      
    It’s about knowing what specifically is covered on the exam itself and having a personalized plan for filling in any knowledge gaps. 
      
    That’s what makes this OCN Exam guide different. Rather than leaving you to figure out how to schedule your study sessions, this book provides a 14-week preparation roadmap along with key concepts to know for each section of the exam. It specifies particular topics you’ll most likely be tested on and even shows you the percentage breakdown of all the questions by each section. 
      
    Inside, you’ll discover: 
     2 full-length exams (330 questions) to practice with, along with detailed answer explanations for each to help you spot any areas of knowledge to focus onA special study “hack” that makes it easier to stay focused and prevent information overloadThe vital pre-practice step that helps you get the most out of any OCN practice test you take (don’t attempt a single practice question until you’ve done this)Detailed profiles of the 18 cancer care symptoms to know about (including etiology, frequency, and treatment options)Which oncological emergencies are you tested on, and important facts to remember for each one 
      
    And much more! 
      
    So whether you’re an experienced oncology nurse or still fairly new to nursing, this guide can not only help you focus on the right topics but also keep you on the path toward earning your certification. 
      
    Dominate the OCN exam and take your career to the next level.

    In Powering Up Students: The Learning Power Approach to high school teaching, Guy Claxton and Graham Powell detail the small tweaks to daily practice that will help high school teachers boost their students' learning dispositions and attitudes.
    Foreword by John Hattie.
    The Learning Power Approach (LPA) is a pedagogical formula which aims to develop all students as confident and capable learners ready, willing, and able to choose, design, research, pursue, troubleshoot, and evaluate learning for themselves, alone and with others, in school and out. This approach therefore empowers teachers to complement their delivery of content, knowledge, and skills with the nurturing of positive habits of mind that will better prepare students to flourish in later life.
    Building upon the foundations carefully laid in The Learning Power Approach (ISBN 9781785832451), the first book in the Learning Power series, Guy Claxton and Graham Powell's Powering Up Students embeds the ideas of this influential method in the context of the high school.
    It offers a thorough explanation of how the LPA's design principles apply to this level of education and, by presenting a wide range of practical strategies and classroom examples, illustrates how they can be put into action with different age groups and in different curricular areas especially relating to literacy and numeracy, but also in specific subjects such as science, history, geography, and design technology.
    All teachers can foster the capacity of students to be, for example, curious, attentive, imaginative, rational, and reflective and Guy and Graham provide clear guidance on how this can be achieved. Step by step, they explore all aspects of pedagogy: from how to make learning compelling and challenging, to how best to make use of the environment for learning; from how to coach students so that they become more independent and responsible directors of their own learning, to subtle shifts in teacher language and behaviour that change the climate for learning.
    Rooted in the authors' knowledge of international research about how students can and should learn in schools, this practical guide is suitable for both newly qualified and experienced teachers of students aged 11 to 18. It will also appeal to those school principals, educationalists, and administrators who are committed to improving both students' achievement and their preparedness for the world of learning beyond school.

    Many millions of species have existed in Earth’s past. What distinguishes those which survive like humanity and those who don’t survive? 
    And what is it about Man’s ability to survive which has made us the dominant mammals on Earth? 
    In this book we look at the things man has done uniquely to succeed. This includes the use of fire for all of our existence as Home Sapiens and much of our history as hominids. 
    How have we survived floods, the ice age, huge volcanos and other disasters? And what about the development of weapons which made us better able to conquer other predators and provide food in a much better way? 
    The combination of fire and weapons has given us an incredible edge in the survival of our species. Domesticated Animals and Plants also gave people a huge advantage in survival. 
    This book examines what we know about human survival over the ages and how it has led us to where we are today.

    This is the sequel to "Cutting the Ties That Bind" and contains advanced information that can be used to release ourselves from more complex systems that programme behaviours. These include familial and national customs - things we do without
    even thinking about them - role playing, acting out of superstition, fear of unmentioned taboos, old prejudices and fears
    that we accept blindly. This is the book that will make us "see" what we are doing; it will help us to be the kind of parents we wish we had! This very important book is a textbook for eff ective self-awareness that opens the door to a lifestyle for self-assured and happy people.
