  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.

  The Theory of Evolution Is In a Crisis 
  In the updated second edition of Evolution's Final Days, John Morrison presents compelling arguments and new evidence that challenge the mainstream understanding of evolution. This edition is enriched with additional chapters and fully sourced information. 
  Jun-Yuan Chen, a renowned paleontologist, once observed: "In China, we can criticize Darwin, but not the government. In America, you can criticize the government, but not Darwin." This statement underscores the controversial nature of evolutionary theory—a central theme of Morrison’s book. 
  Evolution's Final Days explores the complexities of evolution as it is currently taught in educational institutions worldwide. From the primordial soup to the diverse species inhabiting the Earth today, including the descent of humans from apes, Morrison scrutinizes these concepts. He then unveils what textbooks omit, casting the theory of evolution in a radically new light. 
  By the end of this book, readers will understand why the traditional narrative of evolution might not hold up as claimed. Morrison calls for a community-driven approach to advocate for scientific integrity and a true representation of evolutionary theory. 
  This book is designed to provoke thought, whether you're a newcomer to the topic or a seasoned scholar with a PhD in evolutionary studies. Prepare to challenge what you've been told and discover intriguing facts that could reshape your understanding of life itself. 
  Dive into the debate and see why Evolution's Final Days claims that the theory of evolution is nearing its end. Click the "Buy Now" button and start your journey into the science behind evolution's controversial discussion today!

  Your Heart is the Size of Your...

  Your Heart Is the Size of Your Fist draws readers into the complicated, poignant, and often-overlooked daily happenings of a busy urban medical clinic for refugees.
  		 
  An Iraqi journalist whose son has been been murdered develops post-traumatic stress disorder and mourns his loss of vocation. A Congolese woman refuses antiretroviral treatment for her new HIV diagnosis, and instead places her trust in Jesus. Two conservative Muslim Iraqi women are inadvertently exposed to pornography when a doctor uses Google Images to supplement a medical discussion. By turns humorous, distressing, and moving, these stories offer insight into the people seeking a new life while navigating poverty, language barriers, and neighbours who aren’t always friendly.
  		 
  This riveting collection of true stories from Dr. Martina Scholtens is filled with hope and humour, and together make up a deeply moving portrait of how one doctor attempts to provide quality care and advocacy for patients while remaining culturally sensitive, even as she wrestles with guilt, awareness of her own privilege, the faith she was raised with, and vicarious trauma after hearing countless stories of brutality and suffering.
  		 
  In the spirit of Louise Aronson and Atul Gawande, Scholtens’ writing is based on her personal experiences and explores the transformative moments in which a clinical doctor-patient relationship becomes a profound human-human connection.

  The Naked Neanderthal - A New...

  What do we really know about our cousins, the Neanderthals? For over a century we saw Neanderthals as inferior to Homo Sapiens. More recently, the pendulum swung the other way and they are generally seen as our relatives: not quite human, but similar enough, and still not equal. Now, thanks to an ongoing revolution in paleoanthropology in which he has played a key part, Ludovic Slimak shows us that they are something altogether different—and they should be understood on their own terms rather than by comparing them to ourselves. As he reveals in this stunning book, the Neanderthals had their own history, their own rituals, their own customs. Their own intelligence, very different from ours. 
   
   
   
  Slimak has travelled around the world for the past thirty years to uncover who the Neanderthals really were. A modern-day Indiana Jones, he takes us on a fascinating archaeological investigation: from the Arctic Circle to the deep Mediterranean forests, he traces the steps of these enigmatic creatures, working to decipher their real stories through every single detail they left behind. 
   
   
   
  A thought-provoking adventure story, The Naked Neanderthal shifts our understanding of deep history—and in the process reveals just how much we have yet to learn.
