La vacuna contra la por: Mètode per vèncer les pors infantils
by Montse DomènechMontse Domènech volca en aquest llibre els seus quaranta anys d'experiència tractant a nens i adolescents, per oferir als pares un mètode senzill i pràctic per afrontar el problema de les pors infantils. Aquest llibre s'adreça a totes les famílies amb nens, tinguin l'edat que tinguin. Malgrat el trastorn que causen tant en els nens i com en les famílies, les pors infantils són sentiments naturals inevitables que contribueixen a formar la ment humana, ja que ajuden a fer que els joves desenvolupin la imaginació, aprenguin a fer front als problemes i a protegir-se dels perills. Per als pares, aquestes pors poden convertir-se en un veritable problema. O bé perquè no saben com solucionar-les o bé perquè interfereixen en la convivència familiar, aquest tema sol ser un de les motius per als quals els pares busquen amb més freqüència el consell d'un professional. La vacuna contra la por ofereix un mètode indispensable, pràctic i senzill per tal que els pares comprenguin les pors dels seus fills i els ajudin a superar-les. Ofereix la solució per als temors més comuns i que Montse Domènech ha tractat al llarg de la seva trajectòria professional: terrors nocturns, malsons, somnambulisme, por a l'escola, a nedar, a la separació dels pares, als lladres, al metge... i molts d'altres. A més d'explorar aquests estats emocionals tan complicats, aquest llibre ens ofereix jocs i contes per llegir-los als nens abans d'anar a dormir, de manera que aquesta guia es converteix en una «vacuna» imaginària que allunyi les pors per sempre i els retorni el somriure.
La verdadera confianza: El valor asombroso de una mujer que teme a Dios
by Mary A. Kassian¿Qué pasaría si dejáramos de poner nuestra confianza en las cosas de este mundo y, en cambio, pusiéramos nuestra confianza en el único que es verdaderamente digno de confianza?A medida que comiences a aplicar el material de cada capítulo, descubrirás:el verdadero significado de la confianzala diferencia entre el miedo negativo y el miedo positivo, ycómo cambiar la herramienta del miedo del Enemigo con una confianza fuerte.Sé sincera: ¿Quién de nosotras no está plagada de miedos, inseguridades y dudas sobre sí misma?La sabiduría popular dice que la solución es simplemente creer más firmemente en nosotras mismas. Pero la galardonada autora y conferenciante Mary A. Kassian explica que la forma de combatir el miedo es con más miedo, miedo de un tipo diferente.En esta continuación de su popular libro La verdadera fortaleza, Kassian recurre de nuevo a sus vastos conocimientos bíblicos para mostrarnos una forma mejor de navegar por la vida. Compara la definición bíblica de confianza con las trilladas fórmulas de autoayuda del mundo y nos pone en el camino correcto.Tanto si buscas más confianza como si ya te sientes llena de ella, cuando te apoyes en una fuente de confianza que es inmutable, firme y digna de confianza, te parecerás más a la mujer audaz y valiente que Dios quiso que fueras.The Right Kind of ConfidentWhat if we stopped placing our confidence in the things of this world—and instead put our trust in the only one who is truly trustworthy?As you begin to apply each chapter&’s material, you&’ll discoverthe true meaning of confidence,the difference between negative fear and positive fear, andhow to turn the Enemy&’s tool of fear on its head with strong confidence.Be honest: Who among us isn&’t plagued with fears, insecurities, and self-doubt?Popular wisdom says the solution is to simply believe more strongly in ourselves. But award-winning author and speaker Mary A. Kassian explains that the way to combat fear is with more fear—fear of a different kind.In this follow-up to her popular book The Right Kind of Strong, Kassian again draws on her vast biblical knowledge to show us a better way to navigate life. She compares the Bible&’s definition of confidence with the world&’s well-worn self-help formulas and sets us on the right path.Whether you&’re seeking more confidence or already feeling full of it, when you lean into a source of confidence that is unchanging, firm, and trustworthy, you&’ll become more like the bold, courageous woman God created you to be.
La verdadera fortaleza: Hábitos sorprendentemente sencillos de una mujer espiritualmente fuerte
by Mary A. KassianLa galardonada autora Mary Kassian proporciona una guía bíblica para convertirse en las mujeres fuertes, resistentes y capaces que Dios creó.Nuestra cultura nos enseña que es importante que las mujeres sean fuertes. La Biblia está de acuerdo. Desafortunadamente, la idea de la cultura de lo que hace a una mujer fuerte no siempre se alinea con la Biblia. Como resultado, los cristianos a menudo tienen una visión sesgada de lo que constituye fuerza. En La verdadera fortaleza, Mary Kassian profundiza en la exhortación de Pablo en 2 Timoteo sobre las mujeres de la iglesia en Éfeso y descubre advertencias y verdades sobre siete hábitos que pueden minar la fortaleza de las mujeres. Ella revela cómo, al protegerse contra estos siete escollos, las mujeres cristianas pueden caminar en libertad y crecer para ser fuertes a la manera de Dios.

La vigencia de la filosofía
by Emilio LledóUna defensa acérrima de la utilidad de la filosofía en nuestros días de la mano del gran pensador Emilio Lledó. «[...] la filosofía se nos aparece como una ocupación de algunos hombres, tan real e importante como esas otras ocupaciones que han modificado, técnica o artísticamente, la faz del mundo y las relaciones humanas.» ¿Está la filosofía en crisis o sigue siendo una ocupación necesaria para entender y analizar el mundo? ¿Puede considerarse la filosofía un oficio? ¿Cómo debe dialogar la filosofía con la historia precedente o con la ciencia y la tecnología de nuestro siglo? Bajo estos interrogantes, el gran pensador Emilio Lledó atiende la urgencia de recuperar la filosofía como una materia indispensable para ejercer un pensamiento crítico y teje un texto que ensalza las virtudes inexcusables y atemporales del saber filosófico en la modernidad y la era del consumismo. Galardonado con el Premio Nacional de las Letras Españolas 2014 y el Premio Princesa de Asturias 2015, Emilio Lledó ha colocado la filosofía en el centro de todas sus obras y la ha defendido como base de toda educación. El texto aquí presentado pertenece a su obra Sobre la educación (Taurus, 2018). Sobre el autor:«Si hubiera muchos intelectuales como Lledó el nuestro sería un país bien distinto.»Elvira Lindo «Pocos intelectuales se ciñen con tanta justeza al concepto de sabio. Desde la atalaya de sus 94 años, Lledó sigue mirando al futuro».Guillermo Altares, El País «Un diccionario de alertas con el destello de los grandes filósofos detrás para advertir de la gran herencia de la cultura como herramienta de civilización, de progreso, de justicia y de verdad.»Antonio Lucas, El Mundo «Un gran ensayista y divulgador de alto nivel, entre los temas que trata destacan la defensa de la lectura, la felicidad, el silencio, la bellezay la verdad.»Winston Manrique, El País

Labnet: Toward A Community of Practice (Technology and Education Series)
by Richard Ruopp Shahaf Gal Brian Drayton Meghan PfisterConnected by a computer telecommunications network, ninth-graders from eight high schools scattered thousands of miles across Alaska work together, building a robot submarine to gather samples from the floor of Prince William Sound. This is high school science as some teachers and educational reformers today envision it -- centered on student projects that encourage learning by doing...supported by modern technology...enriched by collaboration among students and teachers, both face to face and far apart. This example is drawn from LabNet, a three-year effort funded by the National Science Foundation. The project was conducted by Technical Education Research Centers (TERC), a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to improving mathematics and science education. Eventually reaching 562 teachers in 37 states, Puerto Rico, and American Samoa, LabNet had a direct impact on their classroom practice. In a follow-up evaluation, the majority said they had assigned their students more projects and had used LabNet's telecommunications network to exchange project ideas with other teachers. This book is the story of LabNet as told by its editors, with 14 additional essays on science projects -- both theoretical and practical -- by LabNet teachers and TERC staff.

Laboratory Experiments Chemistry: The Central Science
by John H. Nelson Kenneth C. Kemp Michael LufasoThis manual contains 43 finely tuned experiments chosen to introduce basic lab techniques and to illustrate core chemical principles. In the 14th Edition, all experiments were carefully edited for accuracy, safety, and cost. Pre-labs and questions were revised and new experiments added concerning solutions, polymers, and hydrates. Each of the experiments is self-contained, with sufficient background material, to conduct and understand the experiment. Each has a pedagogical objective to exemplify one or more specific principles. <P><P> Because the experiments are self-contained, they may be undertaken in any order, although the authors have found in their General Chemistry course that the sequence of Experiments 1 through 7 provides the firmest background and introduction. The authors have included pre-lab questions to answer before starting the lab. The questions are designed to help in understanding the experiment, learning how to do the necessary calculations to treat their data, and as an incentive for reading the experiment in advance. These labs can also be customized through Pearson Collections, our custom database program.
