Education Evolution

As language evolves faster than ever before, what is the future of 'correct' style? With wry cleverness and an uncanny intuition for the possibilities of Internet-age expressiveness, Favilla argues that rather than try to preserve the sanctity of the written language as laid out by Strunk and White, we should be concerned with the larger issues of clarity, flexibility, playfulness and political awareness. Her approach to the new rules - as practical as they are fun - will fascinate and delight believers and naysayers alike.

Hinter vielen typischen Familienschwierigkeiten stecken keine Erziehungsfehler. Vielmehr passt das evolutionäre Gepäck, mit dem Kinder auf die Welt kommen, nicht mehr zu den veränderten Lebensbedingungen unserer modernen Welt. Mit einem neuen Verständnis für kindliche Entwicklung können wir Wege finden, um den Bedürfnissen von Eltern UND Kindern gerecht zu werden. In der Erziehung blicken Eltern in die Zukunft. Sie wollen ihren Kindern ja einen Weg weisen. Dabei vergessen sie leicht die Vergangenheit.

Why does writing exist? What does it mean to those who write? Born from the interplay of natural and cultural history, the seemingly magical act of writing has continually expanded our consciousness. Portrayed in mythology as either a gift from heroes or a curse from the gods, it has been used as both an instrument of power and a channel of the divine, a means of social bonding and of individual self-definition.

Teaching, leading and learning are at the heart of every school and classroom. Our ability to grow and adapt to the ever-changing landscapes of education is what keeps our profession and ourselves moving forward. In Buddy, Bully & Beacon, we see how different personalities are drawn to various styles of teaching and leading. We examine archetypes and examples from pop culture to better understand how we can and must evolve.

In its long history, the English language has had many lawmakers - those who have tried to regulate or otherwise organize the way we speak. The Lexicographer's Dilemma poses a pair of questions: What does proper English mean? And who gets to say what's right? Our ideas of correct or proper English have a history, and today's debates over the state of the language - whether about Ebonics in schools, the unique use of language in a South Park episode, or split infinitives in the Times - make sense only in historical context.

In Life Finds a Way, biologist Andreas Wagner reveals the deep symmetry between innovation in biological evolution and human cultural creativity. Rarely is either a linear climb to perfection - instead, "progress" is typically marked by a sequence of peaks, plateaus, and pitfalls. For instance, in Picasso's 40-some iterations of Guernica, we see the same combination of small steps, incessant reshuffling, and large, almost reckless, leaps that characterize the way evolution transformed a dinosaur's grasping claw into a condor's soaring wing.

It was not my intention to come across offensive in writing the chapters of this audiobook but to represent the creationist and biblical viewpoint in a straightforward fashion, in regard to its opposition to aspects of evolutionary theory. It is my sincere hope that listeners of this audiobook, from either side of the debate regarding Creationism versus the Theory of Evolution, will find inspiration to ponder the points I have offered within its chapters.

Until very recently, if you were to ask most doctors, they would tell you there were only two kinds of medicine: the quack kind, and the evidence-based kind. The former is baseless, and the latter based on the best information human effort could buy. Well, Eric Topol isn't most doctors, and he suggests you entertain the notion of a third kind of medicine, one that will make the evidence-based state-of-the-art stuff look scarcely better than an alchemist trying to animate a homunculus in a jar.

The term accounting can often lead to many misconceptions. Perhaps you believe that accounting is only to be done by professionals, and can't even be considered without a rigorous number of complex exams. Or maybe you feel that you need some form of math qualification to even consider attempting basic accounting. While advanced elements of accounting certainly require specific skills and qualifications, it's actually quite easy to understand the basics of accounting, and this skill becomes extremely important in many people's everyday lives.

Within the chapters, I present some of the biggest questions that remain unanswered by the proposed Theory of Evolution. It might be said by proponents of the theory that it is “ridiculous” to question it because science has yielded all of the answers that are needed, to bring substantiation for everything that exists having come from an unguided, non-purposed, undirected impersonal process called “evolution”.

In his groundbreaking book, geneticist David Reich presents findings from the "Ancient DNA Revolution," challenging assumptions about where humans came from, how we lived, and how modern race as we know it came to be.

In the Colosseum of Ancient Rome, it was not uncommon for Christians to be thrown to the lions. This was a one-sided public spectacle that was meant to intimidate Christians into complying with the social order of the day. This ancient fact stands as a modern-day analogy between evolution and creationism. Let me explain. In almost every mode of media, including in our children’s textbooks, evolution is referred to as an unquestioned fact. If anyone dares to speak against it, or even mentions “creation” as an option, they will be thrown to the lions of public disdain.

This is a summary of The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs: A New History of a Lost World (2018), which explores how animals developed on earth before the Paleogene period, when mammals emerged as the dominant life form. The narrative begins by describing the dinosaur’s ancestor: a small, unimportant creature struggling for survival in the Permian period, more than 250 million years ago....

A history and examination of cursing, swearing, whatever you want to effing call it! Is it useful? Is it effective?

In the same engaging style and dry humor that makes the Podictionary podcast popular, Hodgson traces the development of our language using easily recognizable milestones such as Beowulf, William the Conqueror, Chaucer, and Shakespeare, with a minimum of dates and dry facts.
