  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  In Lord of Shadows, the second book in Cassandra Clare's Dark Artifices series, a rising darkness threatens the Shadowhunter world. Kit Herondale, drawn into this world against his will, finds himself grappling with his newfound identity as a Shadowhunter while navigating complex relationships with the Blackthorn family. The Unseelie King, driven by a lust for power and vengeance, seeks the Black Volume of the Dead, a powerful necromantic text capable of destroying the Shadowhunters' magic. 
    
  Internal conflicts within the Clave further complicate the situation, as the Cohort, a faction advocating for Downworlder segregation, gains traction. The return of Annabel Blackthorn from the dead adds another layer of mystery and tension. Julian Blackthorn, seeking to protect his family and the world, makes a desperate bargain with Annabel, promising to help her clear her name in exchange for the Black Volume. The story explores themes of family, loyalty, prejudice, and the struggle against overwhelming darkness.

  For the sake of students, close the empathy gap between the classroom and the front office. 
   
   
   
  Far too often, teachers and administrators are adversaries within a school or district and display a mutual distrust and disrespect for each other's perspectives. Yet when this dissonance can be overcome, the result is a more-harmonious school environment that promotes student achievement. 
   
   
   
  In Lead Like a Teacher, instructional specialist Miriam Plotinsky urges secondary school administrators to lead more effectively by actively listening to teachers and welcoming their expertise. Each chapter examines one of nine key aspects of leadership and offers specific, creative solutions to the complex challenge of empowering change. 
   
   
   
  Moving from a micro to a macro focus as the book progresses—from classroom instruction to schoolwide initiatives—Plotinsky provides administrators with the tools to build and maintain collaborative leadership structures. This thoughtful approach to secondary leadership provides an actionable plan to dismantle some of the biggest barriers to achieving school excellence.

  Meningitis is an inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, known as the meninges. It can be caused by various infectious agents, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. The most common form is viral meningitis, but bacterial meningitis is more severe and can be life-threatening. Understanding meningitis involves recognizing the different types, causes, and how it affects the body. 
  There are several types of meningitis, with bacterial and viral being the most widely recognized. Bacterial meningitis is often more severe, requiring immediate medical attention, as it can result in brain damage, hearing loss, or even death if left untreated. Viral meningitis, though typically less severe, can still cause significant discomfort and requires treatment to manage symptoms. Fungal and parasitic meningitis are less common but are particularly concerning for individuals with weakened immune systems. Each type has its own set of causes, transmission methods, and severity. 
  The causes of meningitis are diverse, with bacteria such as Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Haemophilus influenzae being some of the most common culprits in bacterial cases. Viral meningitis is usually caused by enteroviruses, though the herpes simplex virus and HIV can also lead to viral meningitis. Fungal infections, like those caused by Cryptococcus, typically affect individuals with weakened immune systems, such as those living with HIV/AIDS. Meningitis can also result from parasitic infections, although this is extremely rare.

  ¿Y si todo lo que hemos creído sobre el sol y la salud está mal? 
  Durante años, nos han enseñado a temer al sol, a protegernos de sus rayos y a evitar la exposición. Sin embargo, investigaciones recientes están desafiando esta narrativa, revelando que la luz solar, lejos de ser un enemigo, puede ser un poderoso aliado para nuestra salud. 
  En este esclarecedor libro, el autor examina rigurosamente los últimos estudios científicos sobre la exposición solar y su impacto en el cuerpo humano. A lo largo de sus páginas, se desmontan mitos profundamente arraigados y se destacan los beneficios de una adecuada exposición solar para la salud inmunológica, cardiovascular y emocional. Se exploran a fondo temas clave como la producción de vitamina D, la regulación del ritmo circadiano y el papel esencial de la melatonina y la melanina en la prevención de enfermedades. 
  El texto profundiza en las controversias que rodean el uso de protectores solares, el aumento de los casos de osteoporosis, los efectos nocivos de la luz artificial y la relación entre la exposición al sol y ciertos tipos de cáncer, todo ello basado en estudios de alta calidad y metaanálisis recientes. 
  Este volumen forma parte de una serie de cinco libros dedicados a los pilares fundamentales de la salud: la luz solar, el ayuno intermitente, los hábitos tóxicos modernos, la glucosa y los biorritmos. Una serie científica, clara y transformadora basada en la evidencia más contundente de los últimos años.

  Twenty-One Boxes - Robin's Story...

  In 1989, the Little Rascals Day Care in Edenton, North Carolina, was suddenly thrust into the national spotlight. One day, the owner's husband disciplined a boy at naptime, and soon an angry mother suggested that it was more than just a slap. Rumors quickly morphed into charges of unimaginable crimes against dozens of little children. Panic consumed the town, as the police, therapists, and parents relentlessly pressured the children who attended the day care to name their teachers responsible for multiple allegations of abuse. The Edenton Seven were caught up in the accusations, including nineteen-year-old teacher Robin Boles Byrum. She spent nearly a year in jail under an enormous bond meant to pressure her to "tell the truth" while she had a new baby at home. Eerily reminiscent of the hysteria that gripped Salem, Massachusetts, during the witch trials of the seventeenth century, the Little Rascals case ultimately became the longest and most expensive criminal trial in North Carolina history. 
  Three decades later, Betsy Hester met Robin Byrum Couto and together, they joined forces to tell the truth. In this book, Betsy shares insights from legal and medical experts and reveals the facts from twenty-one boxes and dozens of bound testimonies from the courtroom long since buried away. Intertwined with the case history is Robin's never-before-told story of her harrowing journey through the court system. Finally, this book serves as a modern-day warning about the danger of mass hysteria and the consequences of a judicial system that blindly refused to hear and seek the truth.

  Recursion by Blake Crouch explores the complex nature of memory and identity. The story follows Barry Sutton, a detective investigating False Memory Syndrome (FMS), a phenomenon where people experience vivid, alternate memories of lives they never lived. Helena Smith, a neuroscientist, creates a memory-altering device that allows individuals to relive and potentially change their memories. As both characters' lives intertwine, they confront the ethical and psychological consequences of manipulating time and memory. The novel delves into themes of reality, personal identity, the malleability of memory, and the potential dangers of technology that can alter human experience.
