  Disclaimer: This is NOT the official book. This is a Summary Book & it does NOT accompany the official book. 
  In our compelling summary, we distill the critical insights from Pluckrose and Lindsay's rigorous investigation into this often-radical activist scholarship. Highlighting the inconsistencies and illiberal ethics of these theories, we underscore the need for a thorough understanding of their origins and evolution to effectively challenge their influence in academia, culture, and beyond. 
  Our summary of "Cynical Theories" presents a complex network of ideologies in an accessible and digestible manner. This book is not just an exploration of the evolution of contemporary thought but a call to action for those who value science, reason, and consistently liberal ethics to question and challenge the spread of this potentially harmful orthodoxy. Step into our summary and arm yourself with the knowledge needed to navigate and confront the ideological challenges of the modern world.

  On a good day, being a primary school teacher is the best job in the world. However, in the interests of grounding The Art of Being a Brilliant Primary Teacher in pure realism, Andy Cope and Stuart Spendlow readily acknowledge that it can also be the worst. The purpose of this book is to help you have more amazing days by inspiring and challenging you to be the best version of you because, at your best, you're flippin' awesome! Andy and Stuart use their experience, studies and 'what if?' moments combined with their 'don't judge us' attempt at humour to bring you a fun, slightly provocative, thoughtful and motivational read. This book isn't riddled with lectures and theories from old professors of centuries ago.

These new days require some refined thinking and this book is simply designed to help you to be a brilliant primary school teacher whatever the weather (including wet playtime). Embrace the power of positive psychology, lift your happiness levels, discover tips and tricks to enhance your practice and get ready for some seriously brilliant primary teaching with this innovative, practical and positive guide.

  The Endangered Species Act -...

  The new model of policy design theory frames the discussion regarding the frequently analyzed Endangered Species Act in this historical perspective. 
   
  Since the 1970s, the Endangered Species Act (ESA), by virtue of its regulatory impact, has been a frequent subject of policy analysis. In this comprehensive history and critique of the ESA, Brian Czech and Paul R. Krausman incorporate the new model of policy design theory to frame a larger discussion about conservation biology and American democracy.  
   
  Czech and Krausman provide a historical background of endangered species policy that integrates natural history, socioeconomic trends, political movements, and professional developments. Outlining the controversies surrounding the ESA, they find a connection between challenges to species conservation and challenges to democracy. After an assessment of ESA analyses that have been performed from traditional perspectives, they engage policy design theory to review the structural logic of the ESA, analyzing each clause of the legislation for its application of the fundamental elements of democracy. To address the technical legitimacy of ESA, they propose two new genetic considerations-functional genome size and molecular clock speed-to supplement phylogenetic distinctiveness as criteria with which to prioritize species for conservation. Next, they systematically describe the socioeconomic context of ESA by assessing and classifying the causes of species endangerment.  
   
  A hybrid of policy analysis and ecological assessment, The Endangered Species Act: History, Conservation Biology, and Public Policy will appeal to scholars and students in the fields of natural resource policy and law, conservation biology, political science, wildlife ecology, and environmental history, and to professionals at agencies involved in wildlife conservation. 
   
  “Interesting for anyone concerned about the preservation of species and, more generally, the global environment . . . a good explanation of the statute, a wonderful and often entertaining description of how we view and rank nonhuman species, and a provocative critique of the very policy analytic framework the authors have employed.” —Joseph F. C. DiMento Environment 
   
  “Czech and Krausman are effective and original scholars. The Endangered Species Act: History, Conservation Biology, and Public Policy is both a treatise on policy assessment and an excellent history, assessment, and discussion of the ESA itself. Those interested in natural resources policy and those interested specifically in the ESA will want to read this book.” —Jack Ward Thomas, The University of Montana, Chief Emeritus, U.S. Forest Service

  Calculated Risks - How to Know...

  An accessible guide to what statistics really mean, the dangers of misreading them, and how to make smart decisions in an uncertain world. 
   
  Benjamin Franklin famously said that nothing is certain but death and taxes. Yet few of us really understand how to measure the uncertainties we face in life—or how to interpret statistical claims. It’s easy to become overwhelmed by the baffling array of percentages and probabilities we encounter every day. But in Calculated Risks, cognitive scientist Gerd Gigerenzer offers a roadmap for the innumerate. 
   
  Drawing on real-life examples, Gigerenzer shows how our misunderstanding of numbers can endanger our health and security. He dispels the “illusion of certainty” that accompanies everything from medical screenings to DNA evidence. And he explains how statistics are routinely manipulated or misrepresented—and how to see through the deception.

  Anxiety Workbook - The Proven...

  Learn how to manage, cope with, and overcome anxiety, cure phobia, and reach mindfulness mastery! 
   
  We all have our moments when we are scared or afraid of the unknown. It is natural (survival) instinct for us humans to fear the unknown. We all love certainty. We love it if we could check all the boxes regarding anything we want. Whether it is speaking in public, meeting new people, heights, interviews, etc., we wish there could be a way in which we could get "insider" information into the future so that we can prepare adequately. Unfortunately, as you are well aware, the future is very well-known for its characteristic of being very uncertain. While the fear is often warranted, more often than not, we just cannot seem to take charge of the situation. 
   
  For instance, we could simply be afraid of being in dark or enclosed places, afraid of speaking in public, meeting new people, afraid of heights, afraid of insects, and many other things. What’s strange is that most of us know that some of these fears are unfounded, yet we cannot gather enough courage to overcome them; we are helpless. All this is anxiety and can have a profound negative effect in our lives. For instance, anxiety can make it hard for you to forego different opportunities, e.g. new job opportunities, just because you are afraid of the unknown. Anxiety can make you not interact with people as you would want to, can make it hard to quit a job that you distaste, can drain your energy and leave you feeling tired, etc. All these can make you feel disappointed with yourself in life and could ultimately bring such problems like low self-esteem, low self-confidence, mediocrity, and much, much more. 
   
  Since you are reading this, it is clear that you want to do something about your anxiety. Lucky for you, this audiobook has all you need to know to fight anxiety successfully so that you can unlock the opportunities that have been passing you by and transform your life in ways you’ve never imagined. In this audiobook, you will learn to combat anxiety by following seven simple steps. We will start by you understanding what anxiety is, as this helps you to know what you are up against, signs that you are suffering from anxiety, how to identify your fears, different methods through which you can fight anxiety, when you should seek professional help and much, much more!
