Rats: The Essential Guide to Ownership, Care, & Training for Your Pet
What pet can play fetch, learn its name, and still ride around in your pocket? It’s a rat, of course, and if you’re surprised by this, you should take some time to learn more about these delightful animals. Though wild rats have earned a bad rap for spreading illness and disease, domestic rats are clean and friendly animals that can be loving and wonderful additions to any family. If you have children that want pets but you’re not ready for a dog, a pet rat may be a great compromise. These little critters are fabulous pets for kids, requiring relatively simple care that even grade school children can understand and handle. They’re adaptable, affectionate, and tons of fun to watch and play with. With a life-span up to 5 years, your child can have a long relationship with her animals. Rats make great adult companions too, of course. Their minimal space requirements make them ideal for apartment dwellers, and their self-sufficiency and flexible sleeping habits mean they’ll adapt readily to even busy schedules. When they’re cared for properly, rats aren’t prone to many illnesses or health issues, and they’re affordable both up-front and in the long-term. Most of the challenges in rat care are caused by the animal’s remarkable intelligence. The information in this book will teach you how to properly house these notorious escape artists. You’ll also learn about the proper nutrition and care to keep your rats healthy in the long term, and how to identify and fix problems if they do come up. Introductions to breeding, showing, and training your animals are also included, if you want to take your rat ownership to the next level. Cuddly, smart, and entertaining, a pet rat combines the low time commitment of a small animal with the affection of a dog—and you may just find it’s the perfect pet for you.Read more

The authors grapple with these and dozens of equally curious questions while explaining the most principled,lucid, and reliable techniques for deriving meaning from authoritative texts. Meanwhile, the book takes up some of the most controversial issues in modern jurisprudence. The authors write with a well-argued point of view that is definitive yet nuanced, straightforward yet sophisticated. – Publisher.Read more

Reading Reconsidered: A Practical Guide to Rigorous Literacy Instruction
TEACH YOUR STUDENTS TO READ LIKE CHAMPIONS – WITH RIGOR, INDEPENDENCE, PRECISION, AND INSIGHTThe world we are preparing our students to succeed in is one bound together by words and phrases. Our students learn their literature, history, math, science, or art via a firm foundation of strong reading skills. When we teach students to read with precision, rigor, and insight, we are truly handing over the key to the kingdom. Of all the subjects we teach reading is first among equals.
Grounded in advice from effective classrooms nationwide, enhanced with more than 40 video clips, Reading Reconsidered takes you into the trenches with actionable guidance from real-life educators and instructional champions. The authors address the anxiety-inducing world of Common Core State Standards, distilling from those standards four key ideas that help hone teaching practices both generally and in preparation for assessments. This ‘Core of the Core’ comprises the first half of the book and instructs educators on how to teach students to: read harder texts, ‘closely read’ texts rigorously and intentionally, read nonfiction more effectively, and write more effectively in direct response to texts.
The second half of Reading Reconsidered reinforces these principles, coupling them with the ‘fundamentals’ of reading instruction—a host of techniques and subject specific tools to reconsider how teachers approach such essential topics as vocabulary, interactive reading, and student autonomy. Reading Reconsidered breaks an overly broad issue into clear, easy-to-implement approaches. Filled with practical tools, including:• 44 Video clips of exemplar teachers demonstrating the techniques and principles in their classrooms
• Recommended book lists
• Downloadable tips and templates on key topics like reading nonfiction, vocabulary instruction, and literary terms and definitions.
Reading Reconsidered provides the framework necessary for teachers to ensure that students forge futures as lifelong readers.

Reading the Walls of Bogota: Graffiti, Street Art, and the Urban Imaginary of Violence (Pitt Illuminations)
A cultural imaginary is a structuring space through which collective understandings of cultural and society phenomena are formed, reproduced, and accepted as the norm. Reading the Walls of Bogotá uses graffiti and street art to explore the urban imaginaries of violence in Bogotá, Colombia. These artistic forms are produced and received in different ways in different areas of the city and offer an insight into citizens’ everyday experiences and perceptions of violence from the political, to the personal, to that of structural inequality. Through graffiti, in which critiques of memory, space, politics, and aesthetics are embedded, artists and their viewers form vernacular theories through which they interpret the world and the spaces they inhabit. By focusing on creative expression, Alba Griffin shows how Bogotá’s residents respond to imaginaries of violence, how they critique the norms, how they appropriate space to challenge or negotiate violence, and how they push back against inequality.Read more

Reality in Advertising
Rarely has a book about advertising created such a commotion as this brilliant account of the principles of successful advertising. Published in 1961, Reality in Advertising was listed for weeks on the general best-seller lists, and is today acknowledged to be advertising’s greatest classic. It has been translated into twelve languages-French, Japanese, Spanish, Dutch, German, Italian, Portuguese, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Hebrew-and has been published in twenty-one separate editions in fifteen countries. Leading business executives, and the advertising cognoscenti, hail it as “the best book for professionals that has ever come out of Madison Avenue.” (For typical comments see back of jacket.) Rosser Reeves says: “The book attempts to formulate certain theories of advertising, many quite new, and all based on 30 years of intensive research.” These theories, whose value has been proved in the marketplace, all revolve around the central concept that success in selling a product is the key criterion of advertising. In the course of explaining his own hard-headed approach, Mr. Reeves shows why the ad campaigns for many products are just so much money poured down the drain. He has some devastating things to say about advertising’s misguided men: the “aesthetes” and the “puffers” who put art and technique ahead of the client’s sales; and he punctures many of the misguided philosophies which lower the efficiency of advertising, rather than raising it. But even more important is the thoroughness and clarity with which he explains many of the mysteries of how to write advertising that produces these sales. Here, in short, is a concise, forcefully written guide that has been called “a ‘Rosetta Stone’ for the advertising business”- an essential book for anyone who works in advertising, or uses advertising extensively. It is today required reading in hundreds of great corporations and many of the world’s leading business schools.Read more

Reality Reloaded: The Scientific Case for a Simulated Universe
The book “Reality Reloaded: The Scientific Case for a Simulated Universe” caters to a diverse audience, including scientists, academics, students, and the general public.
The simulated universe hypothesis postulates that our reality is a simulated construct, much like a sophisticated computer programme or virtual reality simulation. In this scenario, the physical laws governing our reality are algorithms, and our tangible experiences are simply generated by the computational processes of an immensely advanced system.
While inherently speculative, the simulated universe theory has gained traction due to rapid advancements in technology, the emergence of powerful computers capable of running complex simulations, virtual reality applications becoming increasingly sophisticated and immersive, certain philosophical considerations, and recent scientific developments in the field of information physics.
Within the scientific community, the concept of a simulated universe has sparked both fascination and skepticism. The key question remains: Can we find scientific evidence to support or refute the simulated universe hypothesis?
Answering this key question is the main focus of the book. The author delves into the connections between information science, technological advancements, cutting-edge concepts in physics, and the plausibility of the simulated universe hypothesis, offering unique perspectives and novel scientific arguments that appear to support the hypothesis. The book is very stimulating and invites further research in the fascinating field of information physics.

Reason Why Advertising: the forgotten book that reshaped marketing in America -18 years before Hopkins’ Scientific Advertising!
The forgotten book that defined Advertising as salesmanship in print… finally available!
If you’re familiar with the marketing masterpiece titled Scientific Advertising you’re probably familiar with its author as well, Claude Hopkins.
John E. Kennedy, Albert Lasker, and Hopkins worked together at Lord & Thomas, the #1 advertising firm at the time in America. Together they completely reshaped the way the world advertised, using a scientific approach to determine what worked best and what was worth investing in.
But while Hopkins’ book became a must for all the marketing experts and the advertisers around the world during the past and the current century, Kennedy’s book is still a hidden gem that needs to be discovered by the international marketing community.
This fresh, annotated edition of the untouched original manuscript will serve this purpose.
Furthermore, this book will help you face the biggest challenge Kennedy, Hopkins, and Lakser had to face at their time: believability.
«The History of Advertising could never be written without first place in it being given to
John E. Kennedy, for every copywriter throughout the length and breadth of this land, is today being guided by the principles he laid down.»Albert Lasker

Reassembling the Social: An Introduction to Actor-Network-Theory (Clarendon Lectures in Management Studies)
Reassembling the Social is a fundamental challenge from one of the world’s leading social theorists to how we understand society and the “social”. Bruno Latour’s contention is that the word “social” as used by Social Scientists has become laden with assumptions to the point where it has become a misnomer. When the adjective is applied to a phenomenon, it is used to indicate a stabilized state of affairs, a bundle of ties that in due course may be used to account for another phenomenon. Latour also finds the word used as if it described a type of material, in a comparable way to an adjective such as “wooden” or “steely”.Rather than simply indicating what is already assembled together, it is now used in a way that makes assumptions about the nature of what is assembled. It has become a word that designates two distinct things: a process of assembling: and a type of material, distinct from others. Latour shows why “the social” cannot be thought of as a kind of material or domain, and disputes attempts to provide a “social explanation” of other states of affairs. While these attempts have been productive (and probably necessary) in the past, the very success of the social sciences mean that they are largely no longer so. At the present stage it is no longer possible to inspect the precise constituents entering the social domain. Latour returns to the original meaning of “the social” to redefine the notion and allow it to trace connections again. It will then be possible to resume the traditional goal of the social sciences, but using more refined tools. Drawing on his extensive work examining the “assemblages” of nature, Latour finds it necessary to scrutinize thoroughly the exact content of what is assembled under the umbrella of Society.

From Zack Snyder, the filmmaker behind 300, Man of Steel, and Army of the Dead, comes REBEL MOON, an epic science-fantasy event decades in the making.
