Summary

The illustrations in this book are created by “Team Educohack”.
 
"Modern Economic Development: A Beginner’s Guide" offers an accessible introduction to growth theory, providing a framework for examining fundamental economic development issues. We discuss how developing countries transition from traditional rural production to modern urban production, a key driver of early economic growth.
 
Our book explores the Solow model, covering endogenous theories of saving, fertility, human capital, institutional arrangements, and policy formation, culminating in a dynamic dual economy approach. We use various microeconomic foundations and build on previous material to ensure a continuous learning flow. The book is designed for beginning graduate students and policymakers, focusing on data and policy analysis.
 
We emphasize the importance of understanding natural economic development laws and the state's role in coordinating the macro-consumption chain. We discuss structural transformation, technological innovation, and industrial upgrading, highlighting their impact on labor productivity, infrastructure, and transaction costs. Our book also addresses industrial policy for middle-income countries, categorizing industries based on their proximity to the global technology frontier.

    The study of the anatomy and operation of the nervous system and the brain is known as neuroscience. To map the brain mechanistically, neuroscientists draw on cellular and molecular biology, anatomy and physiology, human behavior and cognition, and other fields.Each neuron, or brain cell, in an adult human has an estimated 100 billion connections to other neurons. The mapping of all the cell-to-cell communication networks—the brain circuits that process all ideas, feelings, and behaviors—remains one of the major difficulties of contemporary neuroscience. The resulting image that gradually forms is referred described as "the connectome." All learning is based on the brain's capacity to build new neural circuits and connections, or neuroplasticity.

    Success Without School -...

    Consequences of the ongoing pandemic have seriously affected educational systems in the U.S. and around the world. School closures and the opportunities or nightmares of remote learning have caused many parents to reconsider options for schooling their children. Alternatives to conventional school are currently hot topics, strongly motivated by growing racism and the social bullying that confront many youngsters and teens in todays school environment. (New Yorker Magazine, June 21, 2021, "The Rise of Black Homeschooling") 
    Jean Nunnally's memoir of her trials and triumphs in unschooling her two children from birth to college provides an enlightening insight into the innate learning ability of humans, showing how self-esteem, trust and personal responsibility were preserved and strengthened for herself and her kids. "Unschooling" the author says, "is the way we have learned throughout time and the way adults learn when they are free to pursue their interests." Her book gives an overview of unschooling or self-directed learning, but so much more. Jean not only did the work, but her son and daughter are proof that unschooling works. They were each accepted in and graduated from prestigious U.S. colleges and testify, in personal reflections at the end of the narrative, to the happiness and fulfillment of their elementary and high school years following their passions, their hobbies, their music, their dreams, often in stark contrast to the struggles with traditional forms their peers were required to submit to. 
    Success Without School addresses myths and misperceptions of unschoolers. She explains how her view of school changed, and changed her, as she proceeded to unschool her children. She leaves the reader with an encouraging description of the three jobs of an unschooling parent: exposure, facilitation, and modeling; and offers her unique approach to preparing an unschooled teen for college, and the specific challenges that required.

    The nation’s best-loved vet looks back at the funniest, most absurd or heart-breaking animal encounters and situations he has been in over his long and highly successful career. 
    "My mentor and former boss Alf Wight said that the life of a vet is never dull and how true he was. It is funny looking back that he found fame through his James Herriot books, and now his former surgery and myself have been taken to the nation’s heart once again through our show The Yorkshire Vet. 
    "It just shows what a nation of animal lovers we are and these past few years have been particularly challenging for all of us with the Coronavirus outbreak. But what it has shown me is the comfort and support our pets give us in times like these. All the same, it was this, along with recent changes to my working life that gave me an opportunity to reflect, so I want to look back at some of my favourite cases and share them with you."
