Synopsis

"Riddle Evolution" explores the fascinating history of riddles, revealing them not just as simple amusements but as vital tools in the development of human intellect and cultural knowledge. This book argues that riddles mirror the evolution of human thought, reflecting increased sophistication in logic, language, and abstract reasoning across millennia. Intriguingly, riddles in ancient civilizations like Egypt and Greece served purposes beyond entertainment, including religious instruction and political maneuvering. The book uniquely bridges history and philosophy, positioning riddles as significant cultural artifacts that illuminate the journey of human intellect.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the fundamental characteristics of riddles in ancient literature. It then delves into key historical periods such as the Middle Ages and the Renaissance to show how riddles evolved with changing social and intellectual landscapes. Later chapters examine the transition of riddles into modern logic puzzles and their role in fields like artificial intelligence and cognitive therapy. This approach provides a comprehensive overview of how these brain teasers have shaped cognitive development and problem-solving abilities.

    In this groundbreaking guide, a management expert outlines the transformative leadership skill of tomorrow—one that can make it possible to build truly diverse and inclusive teams which value employees’ need to belong while being themselves.   
    Humans have two basic desires: to stand out and to fit in. Companies respond by creating groups that tend to the extreme—where everyone fits in and no one stands out, or where everyone stands out and no one fits in. How do we find that happy medium where workers can demonstrate their individuality while also feeling they belong? 
    The answer, according to Stefanie Johnson, is to Inclusify. In this essential handbook, she explains what it means to Inclusify and how it can be used to strengthen any business. Inclusifying—unlike “diversifying” or “including”— implies a continuous, sustained effort towards helping diverse teams feel engaged, empowered, accepted, and valued. It’s no use having diversity if everyone feels like an outsider, she contends. 
    In her research, Johnson found common problems leaders exhibit which frustrate their attempts to create diverse and cohesive teams. Leaders that underestimated the importance of group coherence and dynamics often have employees who do not feel like they belong; leaders that ignore the benefits of listening to different perspectives leave some people feeling like they cannot be their authentic selves. 
    By contrast, leaders who Inclusify can forge strong relationships with their teams, inspire greater productivity from all of their workers, and create a more positive environment for everyone. Having a true range of different voices is good for the bottom line—it allows for the development of the best, most innovative, and creative solutions that are essential to success.  
    Inclusify reveals the unexpected ways that well-intentioned leaders undermine their teams, explains how to recognize the myths and misperceptions that drive these behaviors, and provides practical strategies to become an Inclusifyer. By learning why uniqueness and belonging are so imperative, leaders can better understand what makes their employees tick and find ways to encourage them to be themselves while ensuring they feel like they are fully part of the group. The result is a fully engaged team filled with diverse perspectives—the key to creating innovative and imaginative ideas that drive value.

    Don't Judge A Prince By His...

    The only goal Prince Syrius Fortune of Rosenhip had during his twin sister's "meet the suitors" ball, was to stay quiet and out of the way. His sister's event had been in the planning for five years, and he and his loving father had already agreed trying to seek a wedding contract for himself was not a good idea. Prince Syrius had quirks, and it wasn't as though he needed to open himself up to ridicule from someone else, especially a spouse he would have to get to know. The event was only a week, and being a lot smaller than his older brothers, Syrius was used to not being seen. Until someone saw him. 
    King Mintyn of Marinkaw had been a soldier since he was fifteen years old. He was not impressed to find out the one time of the year he was supposed to be meeting King Fortune to sign their Golden Straits agreement was apparently the one time his friend decided to have a huge event going on.  
    However, his aide told him he had been invited, and it was only one ball. Mintyn could enjoy some good food, network a while, and then leave the following morning once the treaty was signed. That was until he saw a young vision being hassled by an entitled duke. On learning the vision being hassled was his friend's youngest son, Mintyn decided to intervene. It was a nice thing to do. One shortened dance later as Prince Syrius walked away from him after he put his foot in his mouth, Mintyn told his aide to rejiggle his schedule. He had a spouse to woo.   
    This is one of those light stories that my muse weaves sometimes simply to make people smile. There are no deep and meaningful plot lines, just a bit fun between two men who look so unsuited for each other on the surface of things, but their pairing proves opposites do attract and stay together. It is in the same universe as the Infidelity Clause but is totally standalone. Watch for cameo appearances by a cupcake eating dragon, an episode of prince throwing, and potato cuffs.

    If teachers want an inclusive, engaging classroom, they must learn their students' names. Sound advice, but rarely does it come with practical guidance—which is precisely what this book offers. Eschewing the random tips and mnemonic tricks that invariably fall short, Michelle D. Miller offers teachers a clear explanation of what is really going on when we learn a name, and a science-based approach for using this knowledge to pedagogical advantage. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on a background in the psychology of language and memory, Miller gives a lively overview of the surprising science of learning proper names, along with an account of why the practice is at once so difficult and yet so critical to effective teaching. She then sets out practical techniques for learning names. In her discussion of certain factors that can make learning names especially challenging, Miller pays particular attention to neurodivergence and the effects of aging on this form of memory. A Teacher's Guide to Learning Student Names lays out strategies for putting these techniques into practice, suggests technological aids and other useful resources, and explains how to make name learning a core aspect of one's teaching practice. 
     
     
     
    This concise guide provides teachers of all disciplines and levels an invaluable tool for creating a welcoming and productive learning environment.

    If you're like many adults today, you've experienced some kind of loss of a loved one. Whether it was a parent, spouse, sibling, friend, or child, losing someone close hurts. 
    People who develop attachment disorders have trouble regulating emotions and forming healthy relationships. They think negatively about themselves and find it hard to trust others. They often withdraw from social situations because they fear rejection. Some develop fears of intimacy and relationships. Others struggle with anger management issues. Still, others have difficulties controlling impulses and acting responsibly. 
    But, an attachment disorder doesn't mean you'll never recover. Many people overcome these challenges through therapy and support groups. 
    The book describes how attachment disorders affect adults, what they look like, and how to recognize them. It discusses the different types of attachment disorders, such as secure, avoidant, ambivalent/resistant, disorganized, and unresolved, and describes how they are diagnosed and treated. The authors discuss common comorbidities associated with ADs, including anxiety disorder, mood disorder, substance use disorder, eating disorders, personality disorders, and trauma exposure. 
    The Vanessa Alvarez explains why people develop these disorders, and he provides advice on how to help someone who suffers from one. She also includes suggestions for parents, teachers, and therapists.

    Ten days, two rivals, and a busload of tourists. How bad could it be? 
    For archaeologist Emilia Flores, landing a fellowship to work at the ancient ruins of Pompeii in Italy is a dream come true. The only catch? She’ll be digging alongside her infuriating nemesis, TJ Mayer, who’s been a constant thorn in her side. 
    TJ isn’t about to pass up the Pompeii project. Sure, he’ll be stuck working with Emilia, but he thrives on challenging her. And he hasn’t forgotten that secret kiss they shared at an archaeology conference last winter. 
    Though unearthing Pompeii’s treasures might be a dream, student debt is a nightmare that never takes a vacation. So, when TJ and Emilia are offered a lucrative side job to lead a ten-day tour through southern Italy, they grudgingly agree to tackle it together. 
    Forced to set aside their animosity and work as a team, they forge an unexpected camaraderie. As the sparks between them ignite, their rivalry gives way to passion, making it easy to forget their years of fierce competition. But what happens when the tour ends and the real world steps in? 
    Tour Wars is a rivals-to-lovers, grumpy/sunshine romance featuring a nerdy cinnamon roll hero, a strong-willed Latina heroine, and plenty of hotel hijinks. It can be read as a standalone.
