Play at Work: Companies on the Cutting Edge of Gamification

Play at Work: Companies on the Cutting Edge of Gamification

ISBN: , SKU: , PUBLISHER: Penguin Putnam Inc, A fascinating look at how games can help us learn, create, and innovate Once thought to be nothing more than diversions for children and nerds, games have become an integral part of everyday life. Educators are trying to make learning more fun by introducing games into the classroom while cutting-edge managers are doing the same in the workplace. Doctors, scientists, and entrepreneurs are deploying games to help solve some of the world's most pressing problems. But according to Adam Penenberg, it's not the games themselves that improve our lives, but rather smart game design and its impact on the brain that can lead us to become immersed in a task we find enjoyable. The individuals and institutions that have used games to achieve this effect are often rewarded with astounding results. Drawing on the latest brain science on attention and engagement plus his own firsthand reporting, Penenberg shows how organizations like Google, Microsoft, hospitals, and the military have used game design in bold new ways.

The Way of the Fog (the Ark of Light, Volume One)

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Fuchs, A. P., PUBLISHER: Coscom Entertainment, At the end of Time there was Armageddon; the Earth was unprepared. The forces of Heaven and Hell warred and, presiding over the battle, was the Ark of Light, the arbiter of Armageddon. Then, what was supposed to have been the end of History suddenly came to a halt when the Ark of Light vanished from its post. The armies of Light and Darkness faded from the Earth and Time went on. Aeons passed and what happened that day long ago faded into legend. It is now the year 134 of the Fifth Aeon. Peter Jones, a poet from the Broken City of Garathen, looks for a life outside the confines of his small city and its concealing forest ring. Late one night, a little girl named Catina comes into the city on a quest of her own: to find her grandfather and take him back to Grek, where a mysterious illness is claiming the lives of the townsfolk and of her parents. Together, Peter, Catina and her grandfather set out cross-country to rescue the little girl's parents before it's too late. Thus the journey begins. While traveling West, they meet up with Aiyesha Elnaa, a fugitive running from the Dembatstayr Army, a lethal force clearing the land in the name of Peace, paving the way for the Master's Second Coming. Together, they continue on their journey and pick up two more travelers along the way: Mr. Nibbetts, a furry Flistablare from the Tanturee Forest, and a dog, Belina. Away from the security of his Garathen home, Peter begins to have doubts about his belief in the Master. As his doubts grow and his heart yearns for peace, he begins seeing a man in a gray cloak, but every time he gets close to him, the man vanishes. As the man's hauntings grow more frequent and the mysterious illness that plaguesCatina's parents begins to take hold of Peter and his friends, they learn of the Ark of Light and the prophecy it will one day reappear. When death seems all but inevitable, a creature from the Purple Fog launches his attack on the group. Who is he? Who sent him and what does he want? As History once again draws to a close and the Ark of Light awakens from its hidden resting place, a new power rises from the Coast of Seryn, the Island of the Dead. Strange events are set in motion and the race for the Ark of Light begins, and the long postponed war looms once again. Author Biography: A.P. Fuchs is the author of Magic Man, A Red Dark Night and A Stranger Dead. He is also the author of April, written under the pseudonym, Peter Fox. He writes from Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Xicotencatl: An Anonymous Historical Novel about the Events

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Varela, Felix / Castillo-Feliu, Guillermo, PUBLISHER: University of Texas Press, "This translation of Xicotencatl makes available to English-speaking readers a key text in the nineteenth-century history of Spanish American literature.... I am delighted that someone has seen fit to rescue this marvelous story of good and evil, with its still] pertinent discussion of political and personal morality." --Nancy Vogeley, Professor of Spanish, University of San Francisco As Spain's New World colonies fought for their independence in the early nineteenth century, an anonymous author looked back on the earlier struggle of native Americans against the Spanish conquistadores and penned this novel, Xicotencatl. Writing from a decidedly anti-Spanish perspective, the author describes the historical events that led to the march on Tenochtitlan and eventual conquest of the Aztec empire in by Hernan Cortes and his Indian allies, the Tlaxcalans. Xicotencatl stands out as a beautiful exposition of an idealized New World about to undergo the tremendous changes wrought by the Spanish Conquest. It was published in Philadelphia in . In his introduction to this first English translation, Guillermo I. Castillo-Feliu discusses why the novel was published outside Latin America, its probable author, and his attitudes toward his Spanish and Indian characters, his debt to Spanish literature and culture, and the parallels that he draws between past and present struggles against Spanish domination in the Americas.

What Happened on Fox Street

What Happened on Fox Street

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Springstubb, Tricia / Ross, Heather, PUBLISHER: Balzer & Bray/Harperteen, Fox Street was a dead end. In Mo Wren's opinion, this was only one of many wonderful, distinguishing things about it. Mo lives on Fox Street with her dad and little sister, the Wild Child. Their house is in the middle of the block--right where a heart would be, if the street were a person. Fox Street has everything: a piano player, a fix-it man, the city's best burrito makers, a woman who cuts Mo's hair just right, not to mention a certain boy who wants to teach her how to skateboard. There's even a mean, spooky old lady, if ringing doorbells and running away, or leaving dead mice in mailboxes, is your idea of fun. Summers are Mo's favorite time, because her best friend, Mercedes, comes to stay. Most important, though, Fox Street is where all Mo's memories of her mother live. The idea of anything changing on Fox Street is unimaginable--until it isn't. This is the story of one unforgettable summer--a summer of alarming letters, mysterious errands, and surprising revelations--and how a tuft of bright red fur gives Mo the courage she needs.

Adorno's Negative Dialectic: Philosophy and the Possibility

Adorno's Negative Dialectic: Philosophy and the Possibility

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: O'Connor, Brian, PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), The purely philosophical concerns of Theodor W. Adorno's negative dialectic would seem to be far removed from the concreteness of critical theory; Adorno's philosophy considers perhaps the most traditional subject of "pure" philosophy, the structure of experience, whereas critical theory examines specific aspects of society. But, as Brian O'Connor demonstrates in this highly original interpretation of Adorno's philosophy, the negative dialectic can be seen as the theoretical foundation of the reflexivity or critical rationality required by critical theory. Adorno, O'Connor argues, is committed to the "concretion" of philosophy: his thesis of nonidentity attempts to show that reality is not reducible to appearances. This lays the foundation for the applied "concrete" critique of appearances that is essential to the possibility of critical theory. To explicate the context in which Adorno's philosophy operates--the tradition of modern German philosophy, from Kant to Heidegger--O'Connor examines in detail the ideas of these philosophers as well as Adorno's self-defining differences with them. O'Connor discusses Georg Lukacs and the influence of his "protocritical theory" on Adorno's thought; the elements of Kant's and Hegel's German idealism appropriated by Adorno for his theory of subject-object mediation; the priority of the object and the agency of the subject in Adorno's epistemology; and Adorno's important critiques of Kant and the phenomenology of Heidegger and Husserl, critiques that both illuminate Adorno's key concepts and reveal his construction of critical theory through an engagement with the problems of philosophy.

Now, Superfoods for Life makes proper nutrition easy--and delicious--while offering a complete list of special anti-aging foods. It includes 250 simple and appetizing recipes, packed with the nutrients your body needs and prepared with easy-to-find ingredients. With Superfoods for Life, eating healthfully--and staying young--never tasted so good. The New York Times Book Review on Superfoods: "Increasingly, nutritional science is affirming much, if not all, of the thinking that once seemed to reside only on the fringe, in particular ideas about the power of some nutrients to help the body resist cancer and heart disease. Ms. Riccio takes many of the foods, particularly fruits, vegetables, grains, and fish, known to have especially healthful properties and methodically provides recipes for them...the recipes manage to seem more appetizing, less like medicine, than those in many a book with its eye on today's health fervor".

An Altar in the World: A Geography of Faith

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Taylor, Barbara Brown, PUBLISHER: HarperOne, In her critically acclaimed "Leaving Church" ("a beautiful, absorbing memoir"--"The Dallas Morning News"), Barbara Brown Taylor wrote about her experience leaving full-time ministryto become a professor, a decision that stretched the boundaries of her faith. Now, in her stunning follow-up, "An Altar in the World," she shares how she learned to encounter God far beyond the walls of the church. Taylor reveals meaningful ways to discover the sacred in the small things we do and see, from simple practices such as walking, working, and prayer. Something as ordinary as hanging clothes on a clothesline becomes an act of meditation if we pay attention to what we're doing and take time to notice the sights, smells, and sounds around us. Making eye contact with the cashier at the grocery store becomes a moment of true human connection. Allowing yourself to get lost leads to new discoveries. As we incorporate these practices into our daily lives, we begin to discover altars everywhere we go, in nearly everything we do. Through Taylor's expert guidance and delicate, thought-provoking prose, we learn to live with purpose, pay attention, slow down, and revere the world we live in.

Equally as colorful are the details of his life. Gauguin epitomized the artist as rebel and the dramatic character of his life is almost as spectacular as his art. Gauguin was born in Paris, but grew up in Lima, Peru. As a young man, he returned to France where he worked as a stockbroker from until , when he began to paint full-time. In , he went to Tahiti, a place that affected him deeply and thus had a profound effect on his art. From then until his death, he lived in the South Pacific, returning to France only once. His most famous painting, "Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?" was painted in Tahiti in . While Gauguin's paintings were in part a reaction against the naturalism of the Impressionists, they stand, most importantly, as the expression of a daring and original personality. He is considered a Post-Impressionist and one of the most important artists of all time.

Through the Looking Glass

Through the Looking Glass

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Carroll, Lewis, PUBLISHER: Penguin Books, Limited (UK), In , English author CHARLES LUTWIDGE DODGSON (), aka Lewis Carroll, wrote a fantastical adventure story for the young daughters of a friend. The adventures of Alice-named for one of the little girls to whom the book was dedicated-who journeys down a rabbit hole and into a whimsical underworld realm instantly struck a chord with the British public, and then with readers around the world. In , in reaction to the universal acclaim *Alice's Adventures in Wonderland* received, Dodgson published this sequel. Nothing is quite what it seems once Alice journeys through the looking-glass, and Dodgson's wit is infectious as he explores concepts of mirror imagery, time running backward, and strategies of chess-all wrapped up in the exploits of a spirited young girl who parries with the Red Queen, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, and other unlikely characters. In many ways, this sequel has had an even greater impact on today's pop culture than the first book. This unabridged replica edition features the original illustrations by English artist SIR JOHN TENNIEL (), and is a treasured addition to any library.

The Gardener's Atlas: The Origins, Discovery and Cultivation

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bennett, Jackie / Grimshaw, John Michael / Ward, Bobby J., PUBLISHER: Firefly Books, The flowering plants in your garden, and their variety of color and form, are the result of hundreds of years of tradition, science, skill and intrepid exploration. They may be native plants carefully selected to provide larger blooms or a greater color range, exotic species with origins in far-distant lands, or cultivars which have been painstakingly bred to conform to an ideal of shape and form. The Gardener's Atlas explores the histories of many of the world's most popular cultivated plants and reveals how and where they grew in the wild. It relates extraordinary and uplifting tales of their discovery in some of the remotest regions on earth -- tales of determination and perseverance, of barter and exchange, and of international friendship struck up between enthusiastic horticulturists from the s onward. There are insights into how plants that are now simply decorative were once used for medicinal or cosmetic purposes, for food or ritual, and into how they earned their common or Latin names. This is a book which cannot fail to enrich your gardening experience.
