Italian: Learn Italian in 7 Days!: The Ultimate Crash Course to Learning the Basics of the Italian Language in No Time




Italian: Learn Italian in 7 Days!: The Ultimate Crash Course to Learning the Basics of the Italian Language in No Time


Audio CDs: English / Italian: MP3, 71 Kbps (1 channel) | Duration: 03:25:49 | 2015 | ISBN-10: N/A | ASIN: B010Z2KO62

Overal size: 107 MB | Genre: Learning Italian | Level: Beginner




Are you ready to learn Italian faster than you ever thought possible? Welcome to the ultimate crash course!




Do you want to learn Italian? In that case, you"ve come to the right place! Maybe you have already formed a vague idea of what the learning process will entail, and maybe it scares you off a bit. You see, when it comes to learning a new language, we are all in the same game, yet most people don"t realize it.




Most people don"t even take the time to think about how they can speed up the entire process, and they just dive into it extemporaneously. Most people don"t know the right way to learn a language…. That"s precisely why all aspiring language speakers so desperately need the correct system first! They aren"t learning the right way, they"re just learning chunks of the language here and there. And so did I, before I was introduced to proper language learning strategies. It took me time to learn those strategies. It took a lot of time and effort for me to incorporate the secrets into my entire language learning process! And now, I"m willing to share those secrets with you!




I wrote this book for a reason. I wrote this book to tell you how you can learn Italian faster than you ever thought possible. I wrote it to show you how you can step away from the average path and go the whole way instead. You see, I may not know you, but I certainly know something about you: we"re alike. Whether you are just starting to get in touch with the Italian language, or even if you have already started practicing it, I know you don"t settle for average learning methods. I know you want something better. You won"t stop until you grasp the full essence of Italian, until you fully grasp the path of simplicity. You won"t stop until you truly achieve all you can achieve. And guess what? That"s precisely what we will strive for in this book!

Learning to See Creatively: Design, Color & Composition in Photography (Repost)




Bryan Peterson, "Learning to See Creatively: Design, Color & Composition in Photography"


English | ISBN: 0817441816 | 2003 | EPUB | 160 pages | 36 MB




Almost everyone can “see” in the conventional sense, but developing photographic vision takes practice. Learning to See Creatively helps photographers visualize their work, and the world, in a whole new light.




Now totally rewritten, revised, and expanded, this best-selling guide takes a radical approach to creativity. It explains how it is not some gift only for the “chosen few” but actually a skill that can be learned and applied. Using inventive photos from his own stunning portfolio, author and veteran photographer Bryan Peterson deconstructs creativity for photographers. He details the basic techniques that went into not only taking a particular photo, but also provides insights on how to improve upon it—helping readers avoid the visual pitfalls and technical dead ends that can lead to dull, uninventive photographs.




This revised edition features the latest information on digital photography and digital imaging software, as well as an all-new section on color as a design element. Learning to See Creatively is the definitive reference for any photographers looking for a fresh perspective on their work.

The Ethics of Deference: Learning from Law"s Morals




Philip Soper, "The Ethics of Deference: Learning from Law"s Morals"


English | 2002 | ISBN: 0521810477, 0521008727 | 206 pages | PDF | 1.2 MB






Do citizens have an obligation to obey the law? This book differs from standard approaches by shifting from the language of obedience (orders) to that of deference (normative judgments). Though the focus is on political obligation, Philip Soper approaches that issue indirectly by developing a more general account of when deference is due to the views of others. The book defends a more general theory of ethics; one whose scope extends beyond the question of political obligation to questions of duty in the case of law, promises, fair play and friendship.

Against Common Sense: Teaching and Learning Toward Social Justice, Revised Edition




Against Common Sense: Teaching and Learning Toward Social Justice, Revised Edition (Reconstructing the Public Sphere in Curriculum Studies) by Kevin K. Kumashiro


English | June 25, 2009 | ISBN: 0415802229, 0415802210 | 180 Pages | PDF | 1 MB




The phrase "teaching for social justice" is often used, but not always explained. What does it really mean to teach for social justice? What are the implications for anti-oppressive teaching across different areas of the curriculum? Drawing on his own experiences teaching diverse grades and subjects, Kevin Kumashiro examines various aspects of anti-oppressive teaching and learning in six different subject areas. Connecting practice to theory through new pedagogical elements, the revised edition of this bestselling text features:




A new and timely preface that considers the possibilities of anti-oppressive teaching and teaching for social justice in the face of increasing pressure from both the Right and the Left to accept neoliberal school reform policies.


End of chapter questions that enhance comprehension of arguments, help concretize abstract ideas into classroom practice, and encourage critique.


A sampling of print and online resources that will inspire students to further their social justice education


The new pedagogical components of the revised edition will offer K-12 teachers and teacher educators the tools they need to teach against their common sense assumptions and continue the evolution of social justice in education.

Learning from the World: New Ideas to Redevelop America




Joe Colombano and Aniket Shah, "Learning from the World: New Ideas to Redevelop America"


2013 | ISBN-10: 1137372125 | 336 pages | PDF | 2 MB




What can America learn from countries as faraway and diverse as Bhutan, Chile, Denmark, Nigeria and South Korea? Quite a lot, as it turns out. At a time of fundamental changes in global powers, the country that undisputedly ruled the latter half of the 20th century is no longer firmly in the lead. In the search for new ideas to redevelop America, co-editors Joe Colombano and Aniket Sha point to what has happened outside the borders of the United States. By relying on a wealth of cross-country and multi-disciplinary contributions from an impressive number of world-renown experts, the editors provide a systematic review of successful policies undertaken overseas, discuss their relevance to the US, and offer them as contributions to the national debate on the future of the American economy. What they find is a rich set of policy recipes—from maintaining fiscal discipline and fostering growth, to reviving competitiveness to ensuring equity and basic human decency.

PAL Driven Organizational Learning: Theory and Practices: A Light on Learning Journey of Organizations by Kris Law and Kong Bieng Chuah


English | 2015 | ISBN: 3319180134 | 112 pages | PDF | 7,5 MB




Presenting an innovative concept and approach for organization management, this book serves to document an organization’s journey towards the ultimate goal of learning organization. This book also shares the experience on how a OL framework built on established learning theories, could be used effectively, overcoming many of the barriers in a real industrial setting. Utilizing a ready-to-use tool called Project Action Learning (PAL) to analyze real life case studies, the authors introduce a framework that allows teams of people to work and learn over the course of business projects. Equal emphasis is placed on the achievement of pre-set project outcomes and the learning objectives of the participants. In addition, a long term organizational learning strategy is put forward and the necessary supporting infrastructure, in the form of four ‘PAL Pillars’, is described. The concepts and development of the PAL driven Organizational Learning model are inspired by and grounded in, Western and Eastern business philosophies and case studies which offer important insights into the management of organizations who are keen to develop sustainable business practices.
