  Independent study programs aren't for the "best" students; they are populated by students at their best. 
   
   
   
  Student disengagement from school is a trending concern, and many schools have turned their attention to independent study programs as a way to nurture student motivation and creativity. But where to begin? 
   
   
   
  Geraldine Woods offers a practical, step-by-step guide based on her experience designing and directing the much-admired independent study program at the Horace Mann School. Under the supervision of teachers, students embark on a remarkable variety of projects and become teachers themselves, conducting seminars with their peers along the way to preparing their final product—which could as easily be an interactive website or musical composition as a research paper. Woods's book details the nuts and bolts of the approach and shows how to customize it for a variety of age groups, budgets, and curricular requirements. It is a gift to all educators—including homeschooling parents—who want to give students the freedom to pursue their interests.

  What's your name?
  Asian Americans know the pain of being called names that deny our humanity. We may toggle back and forth between different names as a survival strategy. But it's a challenge to discern what names reflect our true identities as Asian Americans and as Christians. In an era when Asians face ongoing discrimination and marginalization, it can be hard to live into God's calling for our lives.
  Asian American Christians need to hear and own our diverse stories beyond the cultural expectations of the model minority or perpetual foreigner. A team from East Asian, Southeast Asian, and South Asian backgrounds explores what it means to learn our names and be seen by God. They encourage us to know our history, telling diverse stories of the Asian diaspora in America who have been shaped and misshaped by migration, culture, and faith. As we live in the multiple tensions of being Asian American Christians, we can discover who we are and what God may have in store for us and our communities.

  Hindenburg - Thirty-Second Inferno

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  Hindenburg: Thirty-Second Inferno is a clear, human-centered chronicle of the most famous airship in history and the half-minute of fire that ended an era. Spanning twenty immersive chapters, it traces the zeppelin dream from its hopeful beginnings through the Hindenburg’s majestic construction, serene ocean crossings, and refined life aboard—promenades of glass, piano in the lounge, disciplined crews, and a floating world of quiet elegance. With steady, simple prose, it opens the doors of the hangars at Friedrichshafen, walks the reader along duralumin ribs and gas cells, and reveals the teamwork, rituals, and pride that held a giant ship safely in the sky. 
  The narrative narrows to May 6, 1937: the gray New Jersey evening, the slow turn over Lakehurst, the dropped mooring lines, and then the sudden bloom of flame that raced the length of the hull. The book stays close to witnesses and survivors—rescuers running into heat and smoke, passengers finding seconds of courage, and the trembling voice of the famous broadcast that carried grief into homes around the world. It follows the night’s rescue efforts, the solemn roll of names, and the first careful questions asked among wreckage still warm with rain and ash. 
  Beyond the shock, the book examines investigations and debates with calm clarity: hydrogen’s lift against its peril, helium’s safety against its scarcity, static and weather, leak and spark, and the humble truth that complex failures are chains, not single breaks. It shows how the disaster reshaped trust and practice—longer checklists, better materials, clearer cockpit authority—and how airplanes quietly inherited the future as airships slipped into memory.

  We may believe that we know all there is to know about ancient secrets. That nothing new can be discovered. But, nothing could be further from the truth. 
   
  We will investigate the origins of civilisation in the tales of Adam and Eve. We will move through the heavens with ancient concepts of astronomy and unravel sacred symbols such as the Ankh. We will visit pyramids and ancient round towers and connect to harmonic frequencies discovered and utilised by our ancestors. And through these we will discover the amazing secrets that our ancestors knew and that subsequent generations have forgotten. We will see how the authorities hid and destroyed evidence and further darkened our vision of the past. But we will finally reveal the sacred secrets that shine a light on the true reality of our very existence. 
   
  Welcome to Ancient Secrets.
