  Ancient Norse mythology's fabled universe features gods, giants, and mortals living among the cosmic infrastructure of Nine Realms that will, according to the book titled "Exploring the Realms of Norse Mythology: Exploring the Nine Realms: Unveiling the Rich Tapestry of Norse Mythology," reveal itself very soon. 
  There were books covering each and every kingdom. The writers started with Asgard, the land of powerful gods, went on through the mysterious and fertile lands of Vanaheim to hard rocky plains of Jotunheim, the land of giants, all along assisted by the central axis formed by Yggdrasil, the World Tree. 
  And then readers are taken down on this road with them where epic myth and the lore of Norse culture narrates the stirring tale of heroism, honor and destiny. It has to be said that the book includes detailed retellings of important myths, old gods such as Odin, Thor, and Freyja, or spiritual and cultural ideals in this exhaustive inquiry. 
  The book has been built chapter by chapter upon an exploration of one of the Nine Realms: on each world's cosmic function, its inhabitants, and symbolism in Norse mythology. The book also delves into how these old tales continue to inspire and echo today in speaking to common human concerns. 
  "Exploring the Realms of Norse Mythology" is an enlightening, encyclopedic treatment for anyone keen on really understanding the depth and power of Norse myths, which would be ideally suited to either the connoisseur of myths or any newcomer to the subject matter. It inspires readers into rediscovering the old classics and what they have to say nowadays.

  For success in school and life, students need more than proficiency in academic subjects and good scores on tests; those goals should form the floor, not the ceiling, of their education. Students need to develop attributes that aren't typically measured on standardized tests. In this lively, engaging book, educators will learn how to foster the "Formative Five" skills that today's students need, including 
   
   
   
  ● Empathy: learning to see the world through others' perspectives. 
   
   
   
  ● Self-control: cultivating the abilities to focus and delay self-gratification. 
   
   
   
  ● Integrity: recognizing right from wrong and practicing ethical behavior. 
   
   
   
  ● Embracing diversity: recognizing and appreciating human differences. 
   
   
   
  ● Grit: persevering in the face of challenge. 
   
   
   
  When educators engage students in understanding and developing these five skills, they change mindsets and raise expectations for student learning. As an added benefit, they see significant improvements in school and classroom culture. The Formative Five will help teachers, principals, and anyone else who has a stake in education prepare their students—and themselves—for a future in which the only constant will be change.

  Do you want to learn how to effectively manipulate other people? This book aims to be your guide, reference work and companion. People often think that manipulating others is a bad thing. But this does not have to be the case. Consider in advance whether you want to force the person to do something that is not good for them.
  If you can answer no to this question, what are the arguments against using manipulation techniques? We all unconsciously manipulate other people all the time and are also unconsciously manipulated by others. People who are good manipulators have only learned to do this consciously. We can often even incorporate what the other person wants. Manipulation techniques can therefore help you to deal more ethically with your fellow human beings.

  Why It's OK to Eat Meat

  In Why It's OK to Eat Meat, Dan C. Shahar argues the answer is no: it's entirely possible to be an ethical person while continuing to eat meat—and not just the "fancy" offerings from the farmers' market but also the regular meat we find at most supermarkets and restaurants. Shahar's examination forcefully echoes vegetarians' concerns about the meat industry's impacts on animals, workers, the environment, and public health. However, he shows that the most influential ethical arguments for avoiding meat on the basis of these considerations are ultimately unpersuasive. Instead of insisting we all become vegetarians, Shahar argues each of us has broad latitude to choose which of the world's problems to tackle. 
   
   
   
  Key Features include: 
   
   
   
  ● First book-length defense of meat-eating written for a popular audience 
   
   
   
  ● Punchy, accessible introduction to the multifaceted debate over the ethics of eating meat 
   
   
   
  ● Includes pioneering new examinations of humane labeling practices 
   
   
   
  ● Shows why appeals to universalized patterns of behavior can't vindicate vegetarians' claims that there's a duty to avoid meat 
   
   
   
  ● Develops a novel theory of ethical activism with potential applications to a wide range of other issues
