Pembrokeshire's Past

John Roobol

‘Pembrokeshire’s Past’ vividly and unforgettably brings to life the boisterous and turbulent history of this little-known Welsh peninsula jutting out into the Irish Sea. The book is a fascinating and unforgettable read. A great glacier overrode the mountains in the north and produced the blue stones of Stonehenge. Upper Palaeolithic mammoth hunters sheltered in limestone caves. As the climate warmed, Mesolithic people were followed by Neolithic people who left their spectacular stone burial chambers. Rising sea levels produced sunken forests around the coast. Bronze Age people left stone circles and burial mounds. Iron Age Celtic settlers left many hill forts. Turbulence followed with Roman, Irish, Viking and Norman invasions. The latter left the great stone castles. The Civil War was strongly contested. Lord Palmerston built many forts in the south. A great naval shipbuilding yard operated in Pembroke Dock. For beach walkers, the flora and fauna from the Amazon and Caribbean that wash ashore are described in all their remarkable and colourful detail.

Personalities - How Personality...

Angela Wayning, Tyler Bordan,...

This bundle consists of interrelated books about the following fascinating topics:
Book 1: People have been using the term “gifted” in different ways, and it’s important to know what the differences are of those terms. You will learn more about those terms and their meanings.
Book 2: Gifted children are typically a bit more advanced in their thinking, but they still need to be taught how to apply that intelligence towards practical goals. This is where problem-solving skills come in.
Book 3: In this brief guide to giftedness, we will assess and critically examine the results of IQ-tests and their significance. We will also look at the homework problems many gifted children face, with their particular set of grey matter, and why schools often fail to meet the needs of those same children, because let’s face it:
Book 4: Who are you? No, not your profession or your sexiness, but your personality!
Although we can all learn to behave a certain way, everyone has a certain tendency and energy about them. Everyone has a different personality type. But how do you find out your type?
Book 5: Some people get older and never grow up. Others are very mature for their age. How can you determine when someone is really emotionally mature?
Book 6: Many people have tried to do so, and few understand the real secret. Emotionally intelligent people go through life much happier. They understand how to react, and they have more control. Thus, it’s essential to your cerebral development to have some degree of comprehension of this principle.
Book 7: You may have heard of emotional intelligence. You may have even learned a little bit about it. This audiobook, however, can take you to the next level of understanding what to do with the neural processes in your brain.

Teach for Climate Justice - A...

Tom Roderick

In Teach for Climate Justice, accomplished educator and social and emotional learning expert Tom Roderick proposes a visionary interdisciplinary and intersectional approach to PreK–12 climate education. He argues that meaningful instruction on this urgent issue of our time must focus on climate justice—the convergence of climate change and social justice—in a way that is emotionally safe, developmentally appropriate, and ultimately empowering. 
 
 
  
Drawing on examples of real-life educators teaching climate change, Roderick identifies eight key dimensions of climate education that will prepare students to face the challenges of the climate crisis and give them the means to take action. These dimensions include not only educating for a deep understanding of the scientific, geopolitical, and socioeconomic equity issues that surround global warming, but also cultivating appreciation for the environment, building a supportive community, and fostering active hope for the future. In support of this crucial endeavor, Roderick suggests evidence-based teaching strategies, practices that promote inclusivity, and tools for social and emotional learning. 
 
 
  
This timely and uplifting book lays out a powerful vision for teaching, learning, and curriculum development to nurture a generation of courageous, informed advocates for climate justice.
