a self-help manual focusing on back pain prevention and rehabilitation using the unique pilates body conditioning system 3 in 5 of us will suffer from backache in our lives. in order to mitigate against the worst-case scenario, use pilates to strengthen your back and also the supporting muscles so that it doesn't take all the strain. pilates has a strong reputation in tackling back problems and many doctors, osteopaths and physiotherapists are already endorsing its unique quality to exercise deeply but gently and to rebalance the posture (many are opening pilates centres in their surgeries). the back book is a one-stop reference guide, explaining how the back works, why backache occurs, the different types of back pain, when to seek professional help, lifestyle tips for prevention and exercises to promote flexibility and hold the correct posture. for those already suffering, a special remedial programme of exercises is designed to restore mobility. with brand new exercises and the expertise of paul massey, chief physiotherapist to britain's olympic swimming team, leading pilates practitioner lynne robinson can help you bypass or overcome this most common of agonies. show more (1)
americans are not invulnerable to factual information. they do not 'backfire'; facts do not make them less accurate. instead, they become more accurate, even when corrections target co-partisans. corrections of fake news yield similar results. among republicans, trump's misstatements are less susceptible to corrections than identical misstatements attributed to other republicans. while we do not observe facts affecting attitudes, multiple instances of misinformation can increase approval of the responsible politician - but corrections can reduce approval by similar amounts. while corrections do not eliminate false beliefs, they reduce the share of inaccurate beliefs among subjects in this study nearly in half (1)
cnbc's david faber takes an in-depth look at the causes and consequences of the recent financial collapse and then the roof caved in lays bare the truth of the credit crisis, whose defining emotion at every turn has been greed, and whose defining failure is the complicity of the u.s. government in letting that greed rule the day. written by cnbc's david faber, this book painstakingly details the truth of what really happened with compelling characters who offer their first-hand accounts of what they did and why they did it. page by page, faber explains the events of the previous seven years that planted the seeds for the worst economic crisis since the great depression. he begins in 2001, when the federal reserve embarked on an unprecedented effort to help the economy recover from the attacks of 9/11 by sending interest rates to all time lows. faber also gives you an up-close look at where the crisis was incubated and unleashed upon the world-wall street-and introduces you to insiders from investment banks and mortgage lenders to ratings agencies, that unwittingly conspired to insure lending standards were abandoned in the head long rush for profits. * based on two years of research, this book provides deep background into the current credit crisis * offers the insights of experienced professionals-from alan greenspan to prominent bankers and regulators-who were on the front lines * created by david faber, the face of morning business news on cnbc, and host of the network's award winning documentaries from regulators who tried to stop this problem before it swung out of control to hedge fund managers who correctly foresaw the coming housing crash and profited from it, and then the roof caved in shows you how the crisis we currently face came to be. show more (1)
designed as a method for teaching correct mathematical thinking to high school students, this book contains a brilliantly constructed series of what the authors call lapses, erroneous statements that are part of a larger mathematical argument. these lapses lead to sophism or mathematical absurdities. the ingenious idea behind this technique is to lead the student deliberately toward a clearly false conclusion. the teacher and student then go back and analyze the lapse as a way to correct the problem. the authors begin by focusing on exercises in refuting erroneous mathematical arguments and their classification. the remaining chapters discuss examples of false arguments in arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and approximate computations. ideally, students will come to the correct insights and conclusions on their own; however, each argument is followed by a detailed analysis of the false reasoning. stimulating and unique, this book is an intriguing and enjoyable way to teach students critical mathematical reasoning skills. show more (1)

how do we design sentences to fit their purposes and how do we combine them to communicate complex, contextualised meanings? in this witty and incisive book, scott thornbury takes discourse apart to show how it is organised and how it aids communication. starting with an examination of genre, he goes on to look at how we structure written and spoken text and how we use these structures in comprehending meaning. scott shows how insights into discourse can - and should - affect our work as language teachers. the idea that we need to help students work 'at the level of text' as well as make correct sentences is not a new one. but here you will find suggestions - backed up by practical, fun activities - for how you can achieve this in your classroom. show more (1)
if you're feeling overwhelmed by the prospect of getting a dog or nervous about caring for the one you've already brought home, now you can relax. understanding your dog for dummies helps you recognize not only why your dog behaves the way she does, but in a way that enables you to parlay that into a well-behaved companion who listens (and sits, and speaks, and comes, etc.). whether your pooch is a mixed breed or purebred, she has a distinct identity that makes her unique. the first step in understanding your dog is to respect the honorable task she was originally bred for and to identify how these inbred impulses influence her personality and behavior. in essence, you need to speak her language if you expect her to learn to understand yours. understanding your dog for dummies gives you everything you need to learn to understand your pooch's unique dialect of "doglish"-and shows you how to take on the role as pack leader to give your dog the cues, guidance, and consistency she needs to shape and develop good behaviors. inside you'll discover how to:* read your dog's body language* communicate with your dog* interpret your dog's breed-specific traits* correct dog-behavior-gone-bad* counter anxiety-based behavior* understand and resolve aggressive behavior* and so much more! think of this book as doglish 101-a prerequisite for every human member of your dog's family. now, let the training begin! show more (1)
much of the science of public opinion focuses on individuals, asking if they perceive or misperceive and why. often this science will emphasize misperceptions and the psychological processes that produce them. but political debates have outcomes in the aggregate. this element turns to a more systematic approach, emphasizing whole electorates and examining facts through a dynamic lens. it argues public opinion will converge toward truth over time and frequently finds correct views of facts grow stronger under information flow, while misperception recedes (1)
the field of policy studies has always been interested in analyzing and improving the sets of policy tools adopted by governments to correct policy problems, and better understanding and improving processes of policy analysis and policy formulation in order to do so. past studies have helped clarify the role of historical processes, policy capacities and design intentions in affecting policy formulation processes, and more recently in understanding how the bundling of multiple policy elements together to meet policy goals can be better understood and done. while this work has progressed, however, the discussion of what goals policy designs should serve remains disjointed. here it is argued that a central goal, in fact, 'the' central goal, of policy design is effectiveness. effectiveness serves as the basic goal of any design, upon which is built other goals such as efficiency or equity (1)
the text of this norton critical edition is that of thomas sargent perry's 1892 translation, indisputably the translation that has best served readers in english. reprinted repeatedly over the last one hundred years, the perry translation is a classic in its own right. after careful review, the editor has corrected minor infelicities of translation (necessary to remain true to lafayette's text) and updated vocabulary. to experience the innovation of lafayette's writing, it is necessary to understand the critical resistance it met with in seventeenth-century france. "contemporary reactions" includes five assessments of the princess of cleves-by marie-madeleine de lafayette herself, roger de bussy-rabutin and marie de sevigne, jean-baptiste-henry du trousset de valincour, jean-antoine de charnes, and du plaisir-following its controversial publication. john lyons's translations for this norton critical edition make these reactions available in english for the first time. "criticism" includes eleven modern studies of the novel, five of which appear here in english for the first time, by jean fabre, michel butor, jean rousset, helen karen kaps, gerard genette, roger francillon, kurt weinberg, peggy kamuf, erica harth, joan dejean, and laurence gregario. a glossary of characters and a selected bibliography are also included. show more (1)
this element examines just how much the public knows about some of america's most stigmatized social groups, who comprise 40.3% of the population, and evaluates whether misinformation matters for shaping policy attitudes and candidate support. the authors design and field an original survey containing large national samples of black, latino, asian, muslim, and white americans, and include measures of misinformation designed to assess the amount of factual information that individuals possess about these groups. they find that republicans, whites, the most racially resentful, and consumers of conservative news outlets are the most likely to be misinformed about socially marginalized groups. their analysis also indicates that misinformation predicts hostile policy support on racialized issues; it is also positively correlated with support for trump. they then conducted three studies aimed at correcting misinformation. their research speaks to the prospects of a well-functioning democracy, and its ramifications on the most marginalized (1)
this study returns to the origins of robert lepage's directorial work and his first cross-cultural interaction with a shakespearean text to provide some background for his later work. this early work is situated within the political and social context of quebec and canada in the 1980s. constitutional wrangling and government policies of bilingualism, biculturalism and multiculturalism all had a profound impact on this director, helping to forge his priorities and working methods. in 2018 two of lepage's productions were cancelled due to concerns about cultural appropriation. lepage responded by stating his view that the artist is as above the concerns of political correctness. while this approach was deemed acceptable in the 1980s, this study looks at the dangers posed by approaching cross-cultural creation from this standpoint in the 21st century (1)
with his phenomenal bestsellers the one minute manager and raving fans, ken blanchard changed the way we approach management, leadership, and customer service. now blanchard, along with coauthor margret mcbride, presents a concept that, when implemented properly, is one of the most powerful actions for improving company and employee morale. this is also a book that can extend well beyond the business realm and can repair relationships that we thought were broken forever.using blanchard's signature breezy style, the one minute apology tells the story of a young man who wants to help his mentor, a company president, face and deal with some crucial mistakes he has made. for advice, the young man turns to a family friend, the one minute manager. what begins as a beautiful country weekend turns into an enlightening few days when he discovers what it truly means to apologize effectively when we have done something wrong. through this engaging parable, blanchard and mcbride teach readers step-by-step how to accept responsibility for their errors and deal with the cause of the damage while maintaining a genuine sense of integrity. destined to join ken blanchard's other groundbreaking classics, the one minute apology offers businesspeople -- and just about anyone -- a cogent and clear-headed way of approaching one of life's most perplexing dilemmas: how to accept that we have made a wrong decision and how to correct it by making a meaningful apology. the techniques described in this simple but profound story will have significant results at work and at home. show more (1)
