Sinopsis

In 'The Christmas Fairy, and Other Stories,' Mrs. Molesworth weaves a collection of timeless tales imbued with the ethereal charm of Victorian fantastical fiction. Her literary style exudes a warmth and simplicity that captures the hearts of not only children but also adults yearning for a glimpse of yesteryear's innocence. With attention to linguistic detail and a narrative rhythm that echoes the era's storytelling tradition, Molesworth's anthology fits comfortably within the larger corpus of 19th-century children's literature, alongside the likes of Lewis Carroll and George MacDonald, offering insight into the customs, moral values, and the familial warmth of the Christmas season.

Mrs. Molesworth, née Mary Louisa Stewart, was a revered figure in the canon of English children's writing. Her prolific output and masterful grasp of narrative techniques have made her works enduring classics. Drawing on her own life experiences and the didactic ethos of the period, she crafted stories that often blended the ordinary with the magical, and 'The Christmas Fairy, and Other Stories' stands as a testament to her capability to enchant and educate. As a seasoned author, her contribution to the genre has greatly influenced the development of children's literature.

This special edition of 'The Christmas Fairy, and Other Stories' by DigiCat Publishing is not only a portal to the imagination but also a valuable piece of literary heritage. Recommended for those who cherish classic literature, the book offers readers of all ages the opportunity to indulge in the delight of traditional storytelling. It is especially suited for those who seek to understand the foundations of modern children's literature or wish to experience the nostalgic magic of the Christmas spirit through the lens of Victorian fantasy.

    Co-authored by Zoe Enser and Mark Enser, The CPD Curriculum: Creating conditions for growth shares expert and practical guidance for schools on designing and delivering continuing professional development (CPD) that truly lives up to its name.
    There is a wealth of research available on professional learning, from both within and outside the education sphere, and in this book Zoe and Mark pull it all together to help school leaders optimise teachers' ongoing learning and growth.
    Zoe and Mark explain how schools can overcome issues with CPD that can leave teachers plateauing in their development after just a few years, and share a variety of case studies that illustrate the key
    components of an effective CPD programme that builds on teachers' prior knowledge.
    The authors spell out the importance of CPD and explain how, when done well, it gives teachers the agency to make professional decisions informed by the best evidence and experience they have to hand. Furthermore, they explore how high-quality professional development contributes not only to a collaborative culture within the school staff team and enhanced job satisfaction for teachers, but also to improved student outcomes.
    Split into three parts - intent, implementation and impact - the book covers a range of key areas, including: coaching and mentoring, subject-specific CPD, empowerment and self-efficacy, delivery methods and quality of materials. They also examine the current issues and common pitfalls surrounding CPD and offer guidance on how it can be improved, with clear end goals in mind.
    Suitable for school leaders, heads of department and CPD leads in all settings.

    SAT & GRE Prep - 500 Core Words #2

    This is the second in this series of Core Words. After learning the first 100, this audiobook has the core 500 words used in the SATs and GREs over the last 50 years. This audiobook is best used after the Core 100 words are mastered so as not to intimidate the student.The first audiobook is quick and brief, just focusing on the core knowledge needed for doing well in this area of the test as well as becoming a better reader and writer. Choate learned that the first step in learning a subject should be an easy accessible one. Most Test Prep books strut across the stage with length and depth that is intimidating to anyone from a Ph.D. on down. Imagine the negative impact on a high school student? Less is more in the early steps of learning. Later the students can expand their knowledge if not crushed in the first contact with it.If this simple approach was good enough to help Choate students get into Harvard, it should be good for the rest of us! Enjoy. It's fun to test oneself on these words, no matter your purpose for doing so. This is a perfect listen on the way to school, work, or the test itself!

    In Why Therapy Works, Louis Cozolino explains the mechanisms of psychotherapeutic change from the bottom up, beginning with the brain, and how brains have evolved—especially how brains evolved to learn, unlearn, and relearn, which is at the basis of lasting psychological change.Listeners will learn why therapists have to look beyond just words, diagnoses, and presenting problems to the inner histories of their clients in order to discover paths to positive change. The book also shows how our brains have evolved into social organs and how our interpersonal lives are a source of both pain and power. Listeners will explore with Cozolino how our brains are programmed to connect in intimate relationships and come to understand the debilitating effects of anxiety, stress, and trauma.Finally, the book will lead to an understanding of the power of story and narratives for fostering self-regulation, neural integration, and positive change.Always, the focus of the book is in understanding underlying therapeutic change, moving beyond the particular of specific forms of therapy to the commonalities of human evolution, biology, and experience.

    To many people, trauma is something that happens to soldiers and refugees, far away and out of sight. But in fact, trauma is the single greatest threat to public health and well-being that America has ever seen. As humans, we are exposed to a horde of trauma, from physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, to neglect, accidents, and the list can go on and on. And while the naked eye can see the immediate effects of that trauma, it is usually the long-term trauma we carry that bogs us down and infects every aspect of our lives, whether we are aware of it or not. 
    Workbook: The Body Keeps the Score not only does it provide all of van der Kolk's teachings about trauma in a clear, comprehensive, and condensed manner—without missing anything important!—but it also allows you to delve deeper into the book's concepts and explore your own personal journey with trauma while prompting you to take action to create a lasting impact. 
     You will get:The latest research on psychiatric theory and practice from the world's leading trauma specialist.Insights into the different methods of treatment, including skills and tools for healing trauma.Comprehensive yet simplified and straightforward chapter-by-chapter summaries, each ending with concise key takeaways.An immersive experience that will bridge the gap between the book's teachings and your own life. 
    …and more! 
    The messages in this book contain information for everyone; for the fight against trauma to be successful, it needs to be a collective effort. Don't miss out on the wisdom and awareness this book offers. Let's all work toward creating a trauma-free generation.
