Sinopse

Pyramid War Legends explores the intriguing intersection of military history and ancient civilizations, revealing how pyramids have served not only as symbols of power but also as strategic sites of conflict. The book posits that wars involving pyramids were driven by more than just material gain, deeply influenced by the symbolic power these structures held. Pyramids became pivotal in legitimizing rulers, controlling trade routes, and solidifying religious authority. This book delves into wars directly influenced by pyramids, examining ancient warfare tactics, religious beliefs, and socioeconomic systems.

 
The approach distinguishes between historical accounts and legendary narratives, drawing on archaeological findings, ancient texts, and anthropological studies. The analysis progresses from the construction and cultural significance of pyramids in Egypt and Mesoamerica to specific case studies of conflicts, like those in Egyptian pyramid fields and Mesoamerican city-states, and concludes with an examination of the long-term impact on political landscapes and cultural identities.

AuDHD - Blooming Differently

Leanne Maskell

Living with AuDHD is like being a unicorn—misunderstood, contradictory, and often invisible to others. You shine with creativity and innovation, but struggle to fit in - always feeling 'too much'. Autism and ADHD pull you in opposite directions, creating a lifetime of contradictions no one else can see.
AuDHD isn’t listed in diagnostic manuals because until 2013, you couldn’t be diagnosed with both conditions - despite a co-occurrence rate of approximately 50-70%. These two neurotypes often clash, like opposing magnets in the brain.ADHD craves novelty; autism resists change.ADHD misses details; autism hyper-focuses on them.ADHD perceives time as ‘now or not now’; autism sticks rigidly to schedules.ADHD seeks stimulation; autism is easily overwhelmed.ADHD thrives in chaos; autism needs structure.ADHD says yes; autism says no.Autism makes the rules, ADHD breaks them.If you’re exhausted reading this, just imagine what it’s like to live it.
Leanne Maskell was diagnosed with ADHD at 25, but it took 7 more years to learn she was also autistic. AuDHD: Blooming Differently chronicles her turbulent journey—from a childhood of vulnerability and trauma to a high-achieving model and lawyer, outwardly successful but inwardly struggling.
The book exposes the relentless burnout of not understanding your brain and the power of self-awareness in finally thriving. Today, Leanne is a successful author, coach, and National Specialist Coach of the Year.
More than just a memoir, this book offers practical insights for AuDHD individuals and those who support them—essential for psychiatrists, educators, and anyone seeking to understand neurodivergence.
With lived experience and professional expertise, AuDHD: Blooming Differently is an honest and transformative guide to rewriting the neurodivergent narrative.

Common Ground - Second Language...

Florencia G. Henshaw, Maris D....

"Common Ground is accessible to teachers at all levels yet firmly rooted in current questions of second language acquisition (SLA). One of its primary strengths is the authors themselves, both of whom are accomplished language teachers who understand the challenges and opportunities in communication-focused language teaching. Their experience, expertise, insight, and enthusiasm for language teaching translate into a book that is refreshingly practical for teachers, especially teachers who are striving to break from traditional drills commonly presented in textbooks. I hope this book finds its way into the hands of every language teacher who is looking for concrete examples of how SLA principles meet the realities of the classroom." —Stacey Margarita Johnson, Vanderbilt University

A Rare Recording of Five Famous...

Various

Seabiscuit (May 23, 1933 to May 17, 1947), foaled in Lexington, Kentucky, on May 23, 1933, from the mare Swing On and sire Hard Tack, a son of Man o' War, was a champion thoroughbred racehorse in the United States that became the top money-winning racehorse up to the 1940s. He beat the 1937 Triple Crown winner, War Admiral, by four lengths in a two-horse special at Pimlico and was voted American Horse of the Year for 1938. Seabiscuit has been immortalized in books and films, including the Shirley Temple film, The Story of Seabiscuit (1949); the book, Seabiscuit: An American Legend (1999) by Laura Hillenbrand, along with the film adaptation of Hillenbrand's book, Seabiscuit (2003), that was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture. The following recordings include the Third Annual Santa Anita Handicap raced on February 27, 1937; the Fourth Annual Santa Anita Handicap raced on March 5, 1938; a Match Race between Seabiscuit and Ligaroti held at Del Mar, California August 12, 1938; a Match Race between Seabiscuit and War Admiral at Pimlico Race Course, Baltimore, MD – dubbed the “Match of the Century” – held on November 1, 1938; and the Sixth Annual Santa Anita Handicap raced on March 2, 1940.

Off the Mark - How Grades...

Ethan L. Hutt, Jack Schneider

Anyone who has ever crammed for a test, capitulated to a grade-grubbing student, or fretted over a child's report card knows that the way we assess student learning in American schools is freighted with unintended consequences. As experts agree, our primary assessment technologies—grading, rating, and ranking—don't actually provide an accurate picture of how students are doing in school. Worse, they distort student and educator behavior in ways that undermine learning and exacerbate inequality. Yet despite widespread dissatisfaction, grades, test scores, and transcripts remain the currency of the realm. 
 
 
 
In Off the Mark, Jack Schneider and Ethan Hutt explain how we got into this predicament, why we remain beholden to outmoded forms of assessment, and what we can do to change course. They offer a range of practical reforms, like embracing multiple measures of performance and making the so-called permanent record "overwritable." As they explain, we can remake our approach in ways that better advance the three purposes that assessment currently serves: motivating students to learn, communicating meaningful information about what young people know and can do, and synchronizing an otherwise fragmented educational system. Off the Mark is a guide for everyone who wants to ensure that assessment serves the fundamental goal of education—helping students learn.
