By the time these students were completing their GCSE examinations, they were 20 months behind. This book provides a 7-point plan to change this, so that all children, including those with dyslexia, can become readers by the end of Year 1 and critical readers in secondary school. The changes proposed are cost-free, in terms of both money and teachers' time. This book is for educators and their students, early years teachers, English teachers and Special Education Co-ordinators (SENCos) in primary and secondary schools, and in Further Education as well as reading researchers and policy makers. Altogether, the 7-point plan proposed in this book will improve reading fluency, comprehension, and subject attainments across the curriculum, including mathematics. ![]() Free Download Wolfgang Ernst, "Sonic Time Machines: Explicit Sound, Sirenic Voices, and Implicit Sonicity " English | ISBN: 9089649492 | 2016 | 184 pages | PDF | 970 KB Our studies of aesthetics and knowledge have long tended to privilege the visual - at the expense, Wolfgang Ernst argues, of the aural. Sonic Time Machines aims to correct that, presenting a striking new approach to theorising sound that investigates its split existence: as a temporal effect in a techno-cultural context and as a source of knowledge and information. Ernst creates a new term for the concept at the heart of the book, "sonicity," a flexible and powerful term that allows him to consider sound with all its many physical, philosophical, and cultural valences. ![]() Free Download Shmoop, "Something Wicked This Way Comes: Shmoop Literature Guide" English | 2010 | ISBN: 1610624394 | EPUB | pages: 86 | 0.3 mb Take your understanding of Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury to a whole new level, anywhere you go: on a plane, on a mountain, in a canoe, under a tree.

Cole, "Something Incredibly Wonderful Happens: Frank Oppenheimer and the world he made up" English | 2009 | ISBN: 0151008221, 0226113477 | PDF | pages: 432 | 49.8 mb How do we reclaim our innate enchantment with the world? And how can we turn our natural curiosity into a deep, abiding love for knowledge? Frank Oppenheimer, the younger brother of the physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, was captivated by these questions, and used his own intellectual inquisitiveness to found the Exploratorium, a powerfully influential museum of human awareness in San Francisco, that encourages play, creativity, and discovery-all in the name of understanding. ![]() Free Download Neal Boortz, "Somebody's Gotta Say It" English | 2007 | ISBN: 0061373737, 0060878207 | EPUB | pages: 336 | 0.6 mb Neal Boortz, the High Priest of the Church of the Painful Truth, has been edifying, infuriating, and entertaining talk radio audiences for more than three decades. Now, the author of the smash New York Times bestsellers The FairTax Book and FairTax: The Truth returns to gore every sacred cow in the pasture-from the country's rampant civil idiocy and liberal catchphrases like "giving back" to the subversive agendas behind children's books and the scam artists behind "High Art." ![]() Free Download Truman Locke, "Some Things You Should Know: Confessions of a TV Executive" English | ISBN: 1350113409 | 2020 | 288 pages | EPUB | 430 KB Truman Locke is a television executive. His job - to seek out extraordinary people and stories to put on TV - gives him a licence for adventure; freedom to go almost anywhere and do almost anything, so long as he's successful. But now, things are going wrong. Under mounting pressure, his manoeuvring and risk taking start to slip out of control, bringing trouble and danger to his ordered world, jeopardizing everything. ![]() Free Download Some New World: Myths of Supernatural Belief in a Secular Age English | 2024 | ISBN: 1009477226 | 482 Pages | PDF | 2.3 MB In his famous argument against miracles, David Hume gets to the heart of the modern problem of supernatural belief. 'We are apt', says Hume, 'to imagine ourselves transported into some new world; where the whole form of nature is disjointed, and every element performs its operation in a different manner, from what it does at present.' This encapsulates, observes Peter Harrison, the disjuncture between contemporary Western culture and medieval societies. In the Middle Ages, people saw the hand of God at work everywhere. Indeed, many suppose that 'belief in the supernatural' is likewise fundamental nowadays to religious commitment. But dichotomising between 'naturalism' and 'supernaturalism' is actually a relatively recent phenomenon, just as the notion of 'belief' emerged historically late. In this masterful contribution to intellectual history, the author overturns crucial misconceptions - 'myths' - about secular modernity, challenging common misunderstandings of the past even as he reinvigorates religious thinking in the present. ![]() Free Download Coimbatore B. Srikant, "Somatostatin" English | 2004 | pages: 315 | ISBN: 1402077998, 1441954406 | PDF | 11,0 mb Thirty years have passed since somatostatin was discovered and its hormonal function defined [1,2]. The wide range of anatomical distribution and actions of somatostatin and its receptors stimulated intense scientific and clinical interest, and fostered extensive research into all aspects of its biology including regulation of its gene expression, processing of its precursor, biological and cellular actions relating to regulation cell secretion, motility and proliferation. The development of metabolically stable peptide analogs helped define its usefulness in the treatment of endocrine diseases and cancer. The heterogeneity of somatostatin receptors recognized in 1981 [3] was later shown to result from the existence and variable expression of five distinct subtypes that constitutes two distinct subfamilies with distinguishing pharmacological characteristics [4,5]. The molecular cloning of these receptor subtypes reignited the interest in this field leading to a major increase in our insight into the biology of somatostatin and its receptor subtypes, and has led to the design and development of subtype-selective peptide and non-peptide agonists and antagonists. Significant progress has been made in both basic and clinical research on somatostatin. Noteworthy developments include the role of somatostatin in neuronal patterning, delineation of subtype-selective cytostatic / cytotoxic antiproliferative actions, manipulation of cellular signaling by oligomeric association of somatostatin receptor subtypes amongst themselves or with other G protein-coupled receptors, application of radionuclide-tagged derivatives to localize somatostatin receptor positive tumors and their treatment through targeted delivery of radionuclide or chemotoxin tagged agonists through receptor-mediated endocytosis. ![]() Free Download Solve Your Money Troubles: Strategies to Get Out of Debt and Stay That Way by Amy Loftsgordon Attorney, Cara O'Neill Attorney English | July 25, 2023 | ISBN: 1413330894 | 336 pages | MOBI | 2.97 Mb Struggling with debt?
