Isolation (Oltre 16.000 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: Good. As a teenager, I wanted to be normal, but had to refrain from the activities a typical high schooler enjoys. Girls were the T-rex of my Jurassic Park, monsters to avoid. If I was unfortunate enough to be near one, my brain went AWOL. And it was just such an encounter that propelled me into my year and a half of confinement. When I should have been working my way out into the world and starting a career, I was, instead, in the middle of eighteen months of self-imposed isolation. The Isolation Room is the true story about why I imprisoned myself, how God brought me out, and what I learned through it all.The Isolation Room chronicles my activities (or lack thereof) during that time, the conversation with my pastor that induced my return to society, and all the struggles involved in such an undertaking. But it was my working relationship with the late Dr. Jerry Falwell, and his death in 2007, that really fueled my recovery. God, the Father, showed me just how much I misunderstood Him. I share the stories from Scripture that God used to reconfigure my thinking and bring about the changes in my life that I so desperately needed.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 2017 ECPA Christian Book Award Finalist (Faith and Culture category)Is real friendship too risky?We live in a world where real friendship is hard to find. Suspicious of others and insecure about ourselves, we retreat into the safety of our small, self-made worlds. Now more than ever, it's easy to avoid people with whom we disagree or whose life experiences don't mirror our own. Safe among like-minded peers and digital "friends," we really don't have to engage with those who can challenge and enhance our limited perspectives.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. It is common to engage students in the process of science, using mostly hands-on activities, and equally common to provide students with only science knowledge through mostly text-based experiences. Neither of these approaches is authentic to how scientists make sense of the world. Both fail to connect those experiences to the larger purpose of science. In this book Jacquey and Gina show you why, and how integrating science and literacy instruction supports students' understanding of and engagement in both. Using research as their guide, Jacquey and Gina show you how to integrate science and literacy learning in a way that reflects the authentic ways scientists work. The authors have identified three key principles supporting this integration: Principle #1: Frame student investigations with a scientific purpose. Principle #2: Integrate "hands-on" science with literacy to support science learning. Principle #3: Help students engage with text in science. Throughout the book, they describe research that supports each principle and share examples of effective integration in the classroom that enhance students' science learning, reading and writing growth, and motivation. To avoid the trap of textbook-only science or inquiry-only science, we need to aim for synergy - engaging students in using firsthand experiences and text-based experiences as connected parts of investigating questions about the natural world.…

Condizione: Good. Straight out of today's hospitals and labs-and tomorrow's headlines-comes a frightening, scalpel-sharp thriller from medical insider Joshua Spanogle. In an astounding debut, Spanogle takes us on an all-too-real race against time.as a young doctor enters the dark side of scientific research, desperate to stop a terrifying epidemic before it is too late. In Baltimore's St. Raphael's Hospital, three newly admitted patients are among society's most helpless citizens: female residents of Baltimore's group homes for the mentally impaired, their bodies racked by a virus the likes of which no one at St. Raphael's has ever seen. Dr. Nathaniel McCormick is one of the first on the scene. A young investigator from the Centers for Disease Control, Nate is paid to explore the bizarre, the exotic, and the baffling-from superviruses to bioterrorism. But as soon as Nate begins to investigate the lives and habits of the victims, he knows something is terribly wrong. Using all his skills as a medical detective, Nate soon zeroes in on the "vector"-the one person who had sexual contact with the first victims. And when that suspect is found murdered, Nate fears that the disease he's chasing may not be an act of nature, but of man. With his brash style angering his superiors and fellow investigators alike, Nate turns to an old colleague and former lover, Dr. Brooke Michaels, for help. Together the two investigators follow a twisting trail of clues to a discovery that is at once groundbreaking and unspeakable. And as a circle of treachery tightens around him, Nate is about to confront the most chilling revelation of all-and a past Nate himself has been trying to escape. At once a taut medical thriller and a riveting psychological portrait of a young doctor on the edge, Isolation Ward is a tale of runaway tension-with a brilliant "what-if" premise that is harrowing.heartbreaking.and impossible to wrench from your imagination.…
