    • Reading Reconsidered: A Practical Guide to Rigorous Literacy Instruction

      08
      TEACH YOUR STUDENTS TO READ LIKE CHAMPIONS – WITH RIGOR, INDEPENDENCE, PRECISION, AND INSIGHT

      The 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.

      The goal is not to get rich overnight, or to pay off debt at the expense of all of life’s pleasures, but rather to gain an understanding of why we feel the way we do about money, and how we can use that to change our mindset and our finances for good.

    • Real-Time Video Content for Virtual Production & Live Entertainment: A Learning Roadmap for an Evolving Practice

      Real-Time Video Content for Virtual Production & Live Entertainment looks at the evolution of current software and hardware, how these tools are used, and how to plan for productions dependent on real-time content. 

      From rock concerts to theatre, live television broadcast to film production, art installations to immersive experiences, the book outlines the various applications of real-time video content – the intersection of gaming and performance that is revolutionizing how films are made and how video content is created for screens. Rather than render out a fixed video file, new tools allow for interactive video content that responds to audience activity, camera position, and performer action in real time. Combining software renderers with environmental information, video content is generated nearly instantaneously to simulate depth, creating a new world of Virtual Production. This book provides an overview of the current software and hardware used to create real-time content while also reviewing the various external technologies the real-time content is dependent upon. Case studies from industry experts appear in each chapter to reinforce the tools described, establish industry practice, and provide insight on a complex and rapidly growing discipline.

      Real-Time Video Content for Virtual Production & Live Entertainment prepares students and practitioners for a future working with real-time technologies and informs current entertainment technology professionals how to rethink about their old roles using these new tools.

      The book includes access to a companion website featuring web-based and video resources that expand on topics covered in the text. Each chapter has a unique page that points to example material, video presentations, and professional studies on chapter topics. You can visit the companion website at rtv-book.com.

    • Reality in Advertising

      01
      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.

    • Reality Reloaded: The Scientific Case for a Simulated Universe

      01

      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.
