This bundle includes Liljedahl's bestselling anchor book Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics, Grades K-12 and his new supplement title Modifying Your Thinking Classroom for Different Settings. Much of what happens in math classrooms today is guided by institutional norms laid down at the inception of an industrial-age model of public education. These norms have enabled a culture of teaching and learning that is often devoid of student thinking. Building Thinking Classrooms presents the results of over 15 years of research into which teaching practices are effective for getting students to think and which ones do not. This book takes you through a step-by-step approach that you can use to transform your classroom from a space where students mimic to a space where students think. But how do these practices work in a classroom with social distancing or in settings that are not always face-to-face? The follow-up supplement, Modifying Your Thinking Classroom for Different Settings, will answer those questions, and more. It walks teachers through how to adapt the 14 practices for 12 distinct settings, some of which came about as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

One of the founders of humanistic psychology, Abraham Maslow, developed theories on human behaviour and motivation that have had a major impact on the public consciousness. His theories shaped not only psychology but many other fields, including counselling, education and management. At the time of his death 25 years ago, Maslow left a vast collection of articles, essays and letters intended for publication: now the noted Maslow biographer, Edward Hoffman, has compiled the most compelling of these writings into one volume.In these articles, Maslow shares his thoughts on a wide range of topics, from self-actualization and well-being to American politics and organizational management. Hoffman provides a biographical introduction to Maslow's life and work, introductions to each article and a glossary of terms.

Researchers in the social sciences and beyond are dealing more and more with massive quantities of text data requiring analysis, from historical letters to the constant stream of content in social media. Traditional texts on statistical analysis have focused on numbers, but this book will provide a practical introduction to the quantitative analysis of textual data. Using up-to-date R methods, this book will take readers through the text analysis process, from text mining and pre-processing the text to final analysis. It includes two major case studies using historical and more contemporary text data to demonstrate the practical applications of these methods.
