<div> If we all want love, why is there so much conflict in our most cherished relationships? To answer this question we must look into our evolutionary past, argues prominent psychologist David M. Buss. Based one of the largest studies of human mating ever undertaken, encompassing more than 10,000 people of all ages from thirty-seven cultures worldwide, <i>The Evolution of Desire</i> is the first work to present a unified theory of human mating behavior. Drawing on a wide range of examples of mating behavior?from lovebugs to elephant seals, from the Yanomamö tribe of Venezuela to online dating apps?Buss reveals what women want, what men want, and why their desires radically differ. Love has a central place in human sexual psychology, but conflict, competition, and manipulation also pervade human mating?something we must confront in order to control our own mating destiny. <br /> <br />Fully revised and updated to reflect the very latest scientific research on human mating, this classic work of evolutionary psychology explains the powerful forces that shape our most intimate desires. <br /> </div>
<p>Children and adolescents who enjoy healthy growth and development along six primary pathways are the students who learn well and achieve success in school and in life. But children from poorly functioning families and impoverished social networks too often find themselves without adequate preparation and support for the academic challenges that await them in kindergarten and the grades that follow. Believing that schools are uniquely situated to foster healthy development, renowned child psychiatrist Dr. James P. Comer and his colleagues at the Yale School Development Program (SDP) have dedicated 35 years to guiding students, schools, and educators toward academic success along the six developmental pathways of learning. Combining research; evidence-based best practices; essential tools for planning, data analysis, and assessment; and a generous collection of charts, tables, and graphics, Six Pathways to Healthy Child Development and Academic Success offers educators a comprehensive and effective framework for whole school reform. In 17 lively and informative chapters, Dr. Comer and his coauthors offer a complete guide to:</p> <ul> <li>Fostering healthy student growth and development along physical, cognitive, psychological, language, social, and ethical pathways.</li> <li>Comprehensive school planning to optimize opportunities for child development and learning.</li> <li>Creating a positive school climate in which all adults-teachers, parents, administrators, school staff, and community members-can help children grow and succeed.</li> <li>Ensuring continuous professional development and program improvement for the entire school community.</li> </ul> <b>Features</b> <ul> <li>Sub-Title - The Field Guide to Comer Schools in Action</li> <li>Edited - James P.

<p>Did you know that young animals have their own special names? Baby cats, for instance, are called kittens, and a joey is a baby koala. Pups can be the youngsters of adult dogs or seals; and cubs have tigers, lions, wolves, or pandas as parents.<br />Nature lovers (and coloring book fans of all ages) will enjoy coloring the adorable creatures in these 30 portraits of baby animals. Included, among others, are scenes of four little piglets staying close to their mom, two white-tailed fawns grazing on a hillside, a pair of beagle pups resting under their father's attentive eye, and two young calves being watched over by mother giraffes.</p> <p></p> <p></p>
<p>In the 2nd book of the multi-author Sundering series launched by <i>New York Times</i> best-selling author R.A. Salvatore, the shadow legacy of Erevis Cale lives on even as his old foe Mephistopheles seeks to stamp it out at any cost. Cale?s son Vasen?unmoored in time by the god Mask?has thus far been shielded from the archdevil?s dark schemes, alone among the servants of the Lord of Light who have raised him since birth.<br /> <br />Living in a remote abbey nestled among the Thunder Peaks of Sembia, Vasen is haunted by dreams of his father, trapped in the frozen hell of Cania. He knows the day will come when he must assume his role in the divine drama unfolding across Faerûn. But Vasen knows not what that role should be . . . or whether he is ready to take it on. He only knows what his father tells him in dreams?that he must not fail.<br /> <br />Enter Drasek Riven, a former compatriot of Erevis Cale, now near divine and haunted by dreams of his own?he too knows the time to act is near. Shar, the great goddess of darkness, looks to cast her shadow on the world forever. Riven has glimpsed the cycle of night she hopes to complete, and he knows she must be stopped.<br /> <br />At the crossroads of divine intrigue and mortal destiny, unlikely heroes unite to thwart the powers of shadow and hell, and the sundering of worlds is set on its course.</p>
<p>Osprey's study of airmobile tactics used in the Vietnam War (1955-1975).</p> <p> With its first major use in battle during the Vietnam War, the helicopter ushered in a radically different way of fighting, despite its proven vulnerability to ground fire. Either delivering troops into hostile territory and removing them after the fighting ended, or armed with guns, grenade launchers, and rockets to provide rapid and wide-ranging air to ground support fire, the helicopter - available for the first time in sufficient numbers and capable of a wide range of missions - played a central role in the war.</p> <p> From the beginning, with obsolete Korean War helicopters carrying ARVN troops into battle, to Huey gunships evacuating the wounded at la Drang in 1965, and transport helicopters evacuating Americans from Saigon rooftops in 1975; this was the first real helicopter war. By the middle of the war, the helicopter, in particular the Huey model had become as important to the army as the tank, the armored personnel carrier, and the jeep.</p> <p> Presenting a concise history of the first ever major use of helicopters in battle, Gordon L. Rottman, a former Green Beret in Vietnam, describes in detail the development of the critical airmobile tactics that ultimately changed the way America fights its battles.</p>
<p>The M113 is the most widely used and versatile armored vehicle in the world. Fielded in 1960 as a simple battlefield taxi, over 80,000 M113s would see service with 50 nations around the world and 55 years later, many thousands are still in use. In addition to its original role of transporting troops across the battlefield, specialized versions perform a multitude of other functions including command and control, fire support, anti-tank and anti-aircraft defense, and casualty evacuation.</p> <p>This new fully illustrated study examines the service record of the M113 from its initial fielding through the end of the Vietnam War. It will also describe the many US, South Vietnamese, and Australian variants of the M113 used in the Vietnam War as well as information on tactics, unit tables of organization and equipment, and a selection of engagements in which the M113 played a decisive role.</p>
<p>While many working in the teaching profession cite intangible rewards as reasons for staying in the profession, concrete rewards such as salary, benefits, and working conditions are inextricably linked to attracting, developing, and retaining highly-qualified teachers. This timely text examines the fundamental link between teacher pay and teacher quality as well as the extent to which compensation can be aligned with student achievement. A range of existing compensation models are reviewed in order to provide a balanced, practical, research-based approach for developing a comprehensive, best-practice teacher compensation system. School administrators can use these synthesized, innovative findings to.</p> <ul> <li>Determine the most practical compensation model for achieving their school's objectives.</li> <li>Examine different pay options used across the country.</li> <li>Connect their school's compensation program to organizational goals.</li> <li>Discover how to attract and retain high-quality teachers.</li> </ul> <p>Advance student achievement and improve teacher retention by developing a deeper understanding of the connection between teacher pay and teacher quality.</p> <b>Features</b> <ul> <li>Sub-Title - Attracting, Developing, and Retaining the Best Teachers</li> <li>Authored - James H.
