Shady Characters

Shady Characters
By:Keith Houston
Published on 2013-10-10 by Penguin UK

Keith Houston's entertaining book, inspired by his popular blog shadycharacters.co.uk, tells the unexpected stories of some unusual, and familiar, typographical marks and reveals a fascinating history of writing. Every character we write or type is a link to the past, and in today's printed, electronic and scrawled writing their history stares right back at us. This book charts the lives of some of the most intriguing examples, like how the pilcrow went from its noble origins in ancient Greece to near obsolescence, only to be revived again in word processing software. Each character reflects the bust and boom endured by punctuation with each new technological innovation and together they form a rich history of written communication. Keith Houston is the founder of ShadyCharacters.co.uk, where he writes about the unusual stories behind some well-known - and some rather more outlandish - marks of punctuation.

Life Ascending

Life Ascending
By:Nick Lane
Published on 2010-10-01 by Profile Books

Winner of the 2010 Royal Society Prize for science books Powerful new research methods are providing fresh and vivid insights into the makeup of life. Comparing gene sequences, examining the atomic structure of proteins and looking into the geochemistry of rocks have all helped to explain creation and evolution in more detail than ever before. Nick Lane uses the full extent of this new knowledge to describe the ten greatest inventions of life, based on their historical impact, role in living organisms today and relevance to current controversies. DNA, sex, sight and consciousnesses are just four examples. Lane also explains how these findings have come about, and the extent to which they can be relied upon. The result is a gripping and lucid account of the ingenuity of nature, and a book which is essential reading for anyone who has ever questioned the science behind the glories of everyday life.

Invention

Invention
By:Justin J. Camp
Published on 2017-05-16 by Elevate Publishing

There is an unnamed feeling that haunts most men. It’s a sense that there’s more to life than the day-to-day existence we’re living now. But the culture of this world—ambition and greed and fear—teaches us to ignore that feeling. Our culture nudges us toward isolation and insecurity, boredom and fatigue, selfishness and survival. It teaches us to keep our heads down, to follow the system, to man up and power through—because that's what we men are supposed to do. So we silence our questions—Is this really all there is? Wasn’t I made for more? But we are designed for more. The universe's Inventor designed us like he designed the world: with passion and precision and purpose. He made us for confidence and significance, joy and relationship. He made us to be part of something massive and majestic, to contribute to his work of remaking the world. He made us to play vital parts in his Kingdom. But the one ruling this world now is a vicious enemy, hell-bent on keeping us from becoming the men we’re meant to become, and from doing the things we’re meant to do. This enemy spins lies that convince us into distraction and dependence—on alcohol, drugs, pornography, and success-at-all-cost. Can we see past these lies? Can we begin living the way we’re meant to live? Jesus said, |I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of.| (MSG, John 10:10) He said that about us. Invention is an invitation to join a band of renegades and revolutionaries, change-makers and troublemakers—men who don’t accept the world as it is, because they know they’re made for something better. It’s a guide to living with the depth and purpose God made us for. It will help you see the lies that obscure God’s intention for you and reconnect with God’s design for your life. Is this really all there is? No. There’s so much more. Come and see. Justin Camp is the co-founder of Gather Ministries and bestselling author of WiRE: A One-Year, Twice-a-Week Devotional for Busy Men.

Nurture Groups in School and at Home

Nurture Groups in School and at Home
By:Paul Cooper,Yonca Tiknaz
Published on 2007-04-15 by Jessica Kingsley Publishers

This book explores the ways in which pupils with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties can be effectively engaged in schooling - either in school or at home. It explains the social and emotional underpinnings of learning and presents practical strategies for aiding engagement. Nurture groups, originally devised and implemented in the 1970s, are specially designed classes that cater for pupils having difficulties in adjusting to the requirements of mainstream classrooms. Paul Cooper and Yonca Tiknaz present evidence of the success of nurture groups from the perspectives of the children participating in them, their parents and school staff members who manage nurture groups in schools, and examine what factors affect the success of the group. From this they draw key messages for effective practice, including the fundamental importance of recognising a child's emotional needs and meeting them, and the pivotal role of the relationship between the teaching staff co-ordinating the group. Nurture Groups in School and at Home will provide essential information and accessible advice for teaching professionals running nurture groups in schools and for parents and carers running them at home.
