A-Minute-A-Day Mental Maths 3rd Edition [UK}: 42 Photocopiable One Minute Challenges to Improve Mental Maths Skills
A-MINUTE-A-DAY is a series of three *precision- teaching based books, [Phonics. Mental Maths and High Frequency Words], which aim to improve basic reading and mental maths skills, in a challenging yet fun way. The books contain photocopiable games, each one focusing upon a specific group of letters, words or numbers. The aim of each game is for the child to give 30 correct verbal responses within 1 minute. NO WRITING SKILLS ARE REQUIRED. The games may be used by a teacher or parent to provide intensive practice in specific areas. Each page may be used repeatedly by the child for practice both in school and at home, and progress assessed by the teacher in just A-MINUTE-A-DAY. This approach has at its roots, a method known as *precision- teaching, which, since its inception in 1964, has been adopted by an ever increasing number of teachers, and its proven success in both mainstream and special needs education is indisputable. The value of precision- teaching lies in identifying a specific area of need for a particular child, followed by a daily period of teaching, testing and evaluating progress. Normally, this process would take around 10-15 minutes of completely undivided attention for a particular child. Whilst this can be considered a short enough period to offer any child, for a teacher without ancillary support and with multiple children requiring similar help, it can often be impossible to achieve. A-MINUTE-A-DAY offers a new methodology, which, by engaging parents as partners, enables teachers to offer their pupils tailored, systematic practice and monitoring of progress on a daily basis, whilst drastically reducing the amount of teacher involvement, ie it is a TEACHER TIMESAVER. Included at the end of each book are three content free games, which may be used by the teacher to create additional questions to suit an individual child, or to offer a game with high repetition for children who learn at a slower rate.Read more

DSLR For Beginners: A Crash Course in Digital SLR Photography ~ How to Take Better Photos by Understanding Digital Photography Basics
If you’re ready to learn how to use all those fancy functions of your new digital SLR camera so that you can have more control over the pictures you take, then this book is for you!
Read on your PC, Mac, smartphone, tablet, or Kindle device.
Let me guess: You recently got a new DSLR camera, and in all your excitement, you tossed the manual somewhere and then went out to take pictures. Of course, similar to a “point-and-shoot” camera, anybody can take a fairly decent image using the Auto setting, because the camera does all of the work for you! However, with Auto mode, you’ll soon find yourself frustrated at the lackluster quality the photographs have. Auto mode simply doesn’t give you enough control over your image.
Believe it or not, photography is actually a hard skill to learn. The biggest obstacle is that people often feel daunted by all of the seemingly complex functions, buttons, and dials available to them on a DSLR camera. And this is where I come in to help! I’ve written this short book as an easy-to-understand guide on how to use the manual functions on your camera. Regardless of the brand of your camera, the goal of this eBook is to take the fear out of all the unknown buttons and features. As you’ll come to find out, once you’ve gotten control over your camera, you’ll begin to have more control over your photographs. Your frustration with your camera will subside, and even if you consider yourself an amateur or a beginner, your images will take on a much more professional, technical quality. So if you’re ready to impress yourself (and get your money’s worth from your expensive camera) by becoming a savvy DSLR photographer, then let’s get started!
Here Is A Preview Of What You’ll Learn…
- Getting Started with the Basics
- Choosing Your Settings
- Understanding the Dial on Top of Your Camera
- Learning to Read the Display
- Getting the Hang of Metering Modes and Focus Modes
- Understanding ISO and White Balance
- Learning to Work in RAW
- Much, much more!

God, Technology, and the Christian Life
What Does God Think about Technology?
Many Christians remain perplexed about modern technology. New iPhones and social media platforms, self-driving cars, and genetic engineering all prove that human innovation is not slowing down for anyone. But as technologies multiply and life in this age becomes more complex, the questions become more stark: What does God think of human technology? Is he threatened by all its power? Is he trying to dismantle Silicon Valley?
In his latest book, journalist Tony Reinke addresses these and other hard questions head-on from the Bible. By turning to 9 key passages and engaging with several theologians and thinkers, Reinke seeks to dismantle 12 common myths Christians often hold about technology, helping them understand the story of where human innovation came from and to embrace the church’s essential role in it.
- Biblical, Informed Look at Technology: Written by the author of 12 Ways Your Phone Is Changing You and Competing Spectacles: Treasuring Christ in the Media Age
- Gathers Ideas from Industry Experts and Theologians: Interacts with Christian and non-Christian sources on technology and theology including John Calvin, Herman Bavinck, Wendell Berry, and Elon Musk
- Educational: Discusses the history and philosophy behind major technological innovations

Women in British Cinema: Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know (Rethinking British Cinema S.)
This book takes a broad perspective and analyses the ways in which the British film industry has dealt with women and their creativity from 1930 to the present. The first part of the book deals comprehensively with different historical periods in British film culture, showing how the ‘agency’ of production company, director, distribution company or scriptwriter can bring about new patterns of female stereotyping. The second part looks at the input of women workers into the film process. It assesses the work of women in a variety of roles: directors such as Wendy Toye and Sally Potter, producers such as Betty Box, scriptwriters such as Clemence Dane and Muriel Box, costume designers such as Shirley Russell and Jocelyn Rickards, and editors and art directors. This is a polemical book which is written in a lively and often confrontational manner. It uses fresh archival material and takes energetic issue with those explanatory models of film analysis which impose easy answers onto complex material.Read more
