Being married, a person may think everything will be great once they say, "I do." However, the reality of marriage is it requires two people from different backgrounds coming together. Marriage requires them to open up to another's ways, moving from self to us. A marriage is a relationship, and for it to develop and grow, it takes time and effort. Having a healthy marriage is difficult. The USA divorce rate is at 40 to 50% for a first-time marriage. For second time marriages it's even higher. Having a successful marriage is challenging. So what are we to do? Commit to making the marriage work through the storms that come. A healthy marriage requires management and effective communication. It will take a lifetime to develop the best marriage relationship. It will require learning and applying skills essential to strengthening and sustaining your marriage. Skills like communication, building trust, learning to forgive are a few. If you are serious about a marriage connection that lasts, be intentional. Keep your spouse a priority. If the reader is serious about having a marriage connection, this book will help towards that goal, moving to the next level in nurturing and building with their spouse.
In Whitehead's Universe, Andrew M. Davis offers a comprehensive yet conversational introduction to Alfred North Whitehead's prismatic philosophy. Weaving together biographical detail and explanatory insight, he guides readers around the prism of Whitehead's mind, revealing its many lights and colors in relation to various contemporary debates. From history to philosophy, and from theology to cosmology, and civilization, Davis shows how all sides of Whitehead's universe spin together in a grand adventure of ideas. Written for students and newcomers alike, Whitehead's Universe includes chapter summaries, a glossary of essential terms, and a chronological glimpse of Whitehead's life. These and other features make it an indispensable resource for the exploration of process philosophy.
There are many bright and innovative individuals who grapple with numbers and mathematics. Yet astonishingly, in a world where numbers are so important, their difficulties have a remarkably low profile. In the educational world overall, there is very little discussion of how mathematically challenged individuals naturally think and learn. By comparison with dyslexia and literacy difficulties, the debilitating effects of dyscalculia and poor number sense - their implications for adult life, career prospects and household management - are too often ignored. When someone struggles with maths, it is often assumed they are just "not a numbers person". In reality, however, numbers and mathematics have not been presented in a way that matches how the individual thinks and learns. When this is done, mathematical ability can take off very quickly, and what was assumed to be a lifelong learning difficulty can become a thing of the past. In this book, former Special Educational Needs Coordinator and Davis Methods specialist Richard Whitehead explores how dyscalculic individuals typically think and learn, and why traditional approaches to mathematics instruction so often fail to reach these individuals. He reveals the core principles of the Davis Maths Mastery Programme in which he has specialised for the past two decades, and he provides a number of scripted procedures which he uses to help mathematically challenged individuals achieve new and unexpected success.

The importance of high quality early childhood education is now universally recognised, and this quality crucially depends upon the practitioners who work with our young children, and their deep understanding of how children develop and learn. This book makes a vital contribution to this understanding, providing authoritative reviews of key areas of research in developmental psychology, and demonstrating how these can inform practice in early years educational settings. The book's major theme is the fundamental importance of young children developing as independent, self-regulating learners. It illustrates how good practice is based on four key principles which support and encourage this central aspect of development: - secure attachment and emotional warmth - feelings of control and agency - cognitive challenge, adults supporting learning and children learning from one another - articulation about learning, and opportunities for self-expression. Each chapter includes: - typical and significant questions which arise in practice related to that area of development - an up-to-date review of key research, including insights from observational and experimental work with young children, from evolutionary psychology, and from neuroscientific studies of the developing brain - practical exercises intended to deepen understanding and to inform practice - questions for discussion - recommended further reading. This book provides an invaluable resource for early years students and practitioners, by summarizing new research findings and demonstrating how they can be translated into excellent early years practice. David Whitebread is Senior Lecturer in Developmental Psychology and Early Years Education in the Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge.
