Sinossi

Academic Textbook Trends explores the evolving world of educational resources in higher education, moving beyond traditional models. It examines how instructors and students adapt to digital learning, the rise of open educational resources (OER), and the impact of cost on student access. This academic textbook uniquely analyzes the shift in adoption patterns, pricing sensitivities, and the integration of digital learning platforms like learning management systems (LMS). For example, the book looks at how the increasing costs of traditional textbooks are pushing students and faculty toward more affordable learning solutions, such as e-books and courseware. 

 
The book approaches the topic by blending quantitative data from publisher reports and student surveys with qualitative insights from faculty interviews. It delves into specific areas such as textbook adoption across disciplines and the impact of OER initiatives. The book progresses logically, beginning with an introduction that sets the stage, followed by chapters analyzing data, and concluding with implications for the future of textbook development.

 
This makes Academic Textbook Trends valuable for educators, administrators, and publishers seeking to enhance learning outcomes and ensure equitable access to educational materials in a rapidly changing landscape.

Unmasking Fear - How Fears Are...

Guryan Tighe

Imagine the possibilities if instead of avoiding the things you feared, you approached them with courage and curiosity.
When we are in the grip of fear, our world can get very small and for many of us, the number of choices shrink to just four basic reactions: fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. That’s not a lot of options. On a collective level, elements of our society like governments, religions, and businesses sometimes instill fear to divide and control—to keep us feeling dependent on them instead of ourselves. On an individual level, fear can be the reason we’re living a life that’s not reflective of our truth or potential. It’s what keeps us feeling stuck and holds us back. What most of us don’t realize is that fear has much to teach us.
“Fear Technician” Guryan Tighe reframes the way we approach fear from the goal of conquering it to a goal of learning from it by providing readers three gateways to look at fear in a way that frees us: curiosity, gratitude, and purpose. She shows us how to interrupt our initial reaction, pause, check in with ourselves, and rewrite the patterns we use to respond to that which we fear. With this shift in thinking and how to engage it, readers will find new pathways forward as they shift from unintentional reactions to intentional responses.
When we change our relationship to fear, we gain valuable insights that inform our growth and development, connecting us more deeply to our truth. This different approach to fear doesn’t just transform our relationship with ourselves but can also unite us with others through empathy and shared purpose. What has the power to separate us from ourselves and each other—fear—also has the power to unite us. Unmasking Fear shows us that fear is courage unrealized and understanding our fears frees us to pursue the life we want.
“For anyone in the grip of fear, or longing for deeper connection to themselves and others, this book will propel you towards greater clarity, confidence and peace.”—Randy Taran, author of Emotional Advantage and founder/CEO of Project Happiness.org

This bundle has 2 different titles, which are the following: 
Alternative Medicine - Alternative medicine refers to practices and treatments that are used in place of conventional medical therapies.

Alternative medicine is often sought out by individuals seeking non-traditional or holistic approaches to health and wellness. It's important to note that while some alternative therapies have gained popularity, they may not always have strong scientific evidence supporting their effectiveness or safety. 
Natural Remedies - Natural healing encompasses a broad range of therapies and practices aimed at promoting health and well-being by supporting the body's innate ability to heal itself. It follows a holistic approach, treating the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—rather than just focusing on symptoms.

Math-ish - Finding Creativity...

Jo Boaler

From Stanford professor, author of Limitless Mind, youcubed.org founder, and leading expert in the field of mathematics education Jo Boaler comes a groundbreaking guide to finding joy and understanding by adopting a diverse approach to learning math.
“Every once in a while, someone revolutionizes an approach to a difficult subject and changes it forever. That is what Jo Boaler has done for math. Fresh, smart, and inclusive, Jo Boaler's strategy eschews the one-size-fits-a-few approach and instead allows math to be seen and solved by everyone. A huge achievement. Math-ish is the only math book I’ve ever enjoyed reading in my entire life. Honestly.” -Bonnie Garmus, author of Lessons in Chemistry
Mathematics is a fundamental part of life, yet every one of us has a unique relationship with learning and understanding the subject. Working with numbers may inspire confidence in our abilities or provoke anxiety and trepidation. Stanford researcher, mathematics education professor, and the leading expert on math learning Dr. Jo Boaler argues that our differences are the key to unlocking our greatest mathematics potential.
In Math-ish, Boaler shares new neuroscientific research on how embracing the concept of “math-ish”—a theory of mathematics as it exists in the real world—changes the way we think about mathematics, data, and ourselves. When we can see the value of diversity among people and multi-faceted approaches to learning math, we are free to truly flourish. Utilizing the latest research on math education, Jo guides us through seven principles that can radically reframe our relationship with the subject:
• The power of mindset on learning
• Utilizing a visual approach to math
• The impact of physical movement and communication on understanding
• Understanding the value of an ""ish"" perspective - in mathematics and beyond
• The importance of connected and flexible knowledge
• New data on diverse teaching modes that work with different learning styles, not against them
• The value of diversity in learning mathematics—and beyond
When mathematics is approached more broadly, inclusively, and with a greater sense of wonder and play—when we value the different ways people see, approach, and understand it—we empower ourselves and gain a beneficial understanding of its value in our lives.
