Random House USA Inc Steve Jobs Insanely Great
Book SynopsisWhether they’ve seen Aaron Sorkin and Danny Boyle’s Steve Jobs movie, read Walter Isaacson’s biography, or just own an iPhone, this graphic novel retelling of the Apple innovator’s life will capture the imaginations of the legions of readers who live and breathe the technocentric world Jobs created. Told through a combination of black-and-white illustrations and handwritten text, this fast-paced and entertaining biography in graphic format presents the story of the ultimate American entrepreneur, the man who brought us Apple Computer, Pixar, Macs, iPods, iPhones, and more. Jobs’s remarkable life reads like a history of the personal technology industry. He started Apple Computer in his parents’ garage and eventually became the tastemaker of a generation, creating products we can’t live without. Through it all, he was an overbearing and demanding perfectionist, both impossible and inspiring. Capturing his unparalleled brilliance, as well as his many demons, Jessie Hartland’s engaging biography illuminates the meteoric successes, devastating setbacks, and myriad contradictions that make up the extraordinary life and legacy of the insanely great Steve Jobs.Here's the perfect book for any teen interested in STEM topics, especially tech. A School Library Journal Best Book of the Year “If a picture is worth a thousand words, then this comic tale can hang with the sprawling biographies.” —Macworld.com “An accessible take . . . undoubtedly valuable for kids who are growing up using Apple’s products but knowing little about the man who created them.” —GeekDad.com

Little, Brown Book Group Smart Thinking How to Think Big Innovate and
Book SynopsisDrawing on the latest research into cognitive science, Art Markman shows you how to maximise your capacity to learn and solve problems effectively at home and at work.Think smart people are just born that way? Think again. Art Markman, one of the premier cognitive scientists in this field, demonstrates the difference between raw intelligence and ''smarter'' thinking. Using examples from his own lab and stories from the worlds of business and popular culture, Markman shows it is possible to learn to be a smarter thinker. In doing so, you can reap the benefits in every area of your life. Smart Thinking provides: 1. The means to replace self-limiting habits with new behaviours that foster smart thinking, 2. An understanding of the mind itself as well as memory,3. The ability to define and solve problems more efficiently,4. Ways to present and process information effectively. Using the tools and practical exercises proTrade ReviewIf you want to be more creative, if you want to be an innovator, this is the book for you. * Hara Estroff Marano, Psychology Today *As one of the world's most respected voices in the field of cognitive science, Art Markman has isolated a formula for thinking more effectively. The book is filled with specific suggestions and tips that you can use to create new habits to think better, starting literally from Chapter 1. * Craig B. Wynett, Chief Learning Officer at Procter and Gamble and Dr Mehmet Oz, Professor of Surgery. From the Foreword to Smart Thinking *An essential read for anyone who wants to operate at their best, think outside the box and accomplish whatever goals they set out to achieve. * Sian Beilock, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology at the University of Chicago and author of Choke: What the Secrets of the Brain Reveal About Getting It Right When You Have To *Smart Thinking not only enriches the literature on human thoughts - and its foibles - it takes it to the next level, offering clear prescriptions for how to sharpen memory, analysis and creativity in our daily lives. * Wray Herbert, author of On Second Thought: Outsmarting Your Mind's Hard-Wired Habits *The book is an easy read, though rewards re-reading. Unlike many of these "Think yourself smarter" books, this one has lots of good advice, and feels like it relies on primary sources more than secondary. In fact, I bet I end up reading a lot of what is in this book, taken out of context by "Think yourself successful" gurus. Save time, read it here, at the source.' * Business Traveller *The advice on how to break bad and lazy thinking habits is interesting, and I've already used it to good effect . . . In summary, this is a thought-provoking read. * Stuart Kellock, Business XL *

Holiday House Inc Follow the Money
Book SynopsisFrom mint, to pocket, to vending machine--tag along with George, a brand new quarter, and see how far a coin goes. With her signature bright, cartoony illustrations, Loreen Leedy explores American currency from the coins'' point of view. George starts his day at the U.S. Mint, but he''s soon swept away to a bank and dispensed, with a roll of his fellows, to make change at a grocery store. Again and again the quarter changes hands-- dropping into a vending machine, bouncing in a purse, slipping through a hole in someone''s pocket. At each transaction, the arithmetic is laid out to show how we add, subtract, and multiply money every day. Keen-eyed readers will notice the page numbers are represented in bills and coins, and the amounts pictured in each scene add up to the listed totals, aiding identification of different denominations of money. This funny introduction to cold hard cash also includes an author''s note about different kinds of curr

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Games Simulations and Playful Learning in
Book SynopsisTrade Review‘This is a delightful book. Drawing on the contributors’ experiences and expertise, it addresses a wide range of topics relating to game-based learning in the modern business school. From the design and build of simulations through to the evaluation of experiential learning, every chapter offers real insight and a sense of what it is like for the educator to adopt these methods, warts and all! The practical advice and illustrations regarding the embedding of simulations and games in the curriculum is intensely valuable, not just to those experimenting with such techniques for the first time, but also for those who have been using such approaches for some time. The evaluations and reflections of the authors here provide a deep, personable and engaging insight into such techniques.’Table of ContentsContents: Preface by Caroline Elliott xi 1 Introduction on games, serious games, simulation and gamification 1 Panagiotis Petridis and Lauren Traczykowski 2 The use of games to teach corporate social responsibility and sustainability 14 Maria Kozlovskaya 3 Why so serious?
