Download or read book Minds on Fire written by Mark C. Carnes and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2014-09-15 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year In Minds on Fire, Mark C. Carnes shows how role-immersion games channel students’ competitive (and sometimes mischievous) impulses into transformative learning experiences. His discussion is based on interviews with scores of students and faculty who have used a pedagogy called Reacting to the Past, which features month-long games set during the French Revolution, Galileo’s trial, the partition of India, and dozens of other epochal moments in disciplines ranging from art history to the sciences. These games have spread to over three hundred campuses around the world, where many of their benefits defy expectations. “[Minds on Fire is] Carnes’s beautifully written apologia for this fascinating and powerful approach to teaching and learning in higher education. If we are willing to open our minds and explore student-centered approaches like Reacting [to the Past], we might just find that the spark of student engagement we have been searching for in higher education’s mythical past can catch fire in the classrooms of the present.” —James M. Lang, Chronicle of Higher Education “This book is a highly engaging and inspirational study of a ‘new’ technique that just might change the way educators bring students to learning in the 21st century.” —D. D. Bouchard, Choice

Download or read book Games of Fire Trilogy written by Autumn M. Birt and published by AmWritingFantasy. This book was released on 2018-01-15 with total page 1724 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Success will destroy elemental magic. Failure condemns this world and the next. Pick up the award-winning series, nominated for Best Book of 2017 and winner of Best Worldbuilding, and enter a story described as “Brilliantly contrived and beautifully executed, it reminds us why we love the genre” and, “This was pure magic and 'Epic Fantasy' at its very best.” Six months after a tragic war, the world of Myrrah has found peace. But many of the heroes have not. When Zhao’s reluctant homecoming sparks a battle over the fate of Elementals among his people, he calls on his friends for help only to find they are busy with new problems of their own. And one has the potential to end all magic. For nearly destroying the world in an ancient war, the Ashanti were cursed by the Goddess Mhyrah with lifespans of less than a decade. To regain normal lives for his people, Beh’kana, the Ashanti King, will defy the traditions handed down since the dawn of time, even if that means rekindling an ancient feud—one that nearly destroyed the world before it fully began. His quest to conquer death and gain control of the source of all elemental magic—the spirit realm—threatens to burn the world to ashes. Lavinia did not seek to be named Guardian of the Spheres when she touched each to gain control of elemental power. But now that choice has propelled her to being the key to stopping the Ashanti. She controls the gates that allow magic into the world, and she must close them to prevent the Ashanti from crossing into the spirit realm and gaining power beyond imagination—enough to enslave or destroy the world they once sought to rule. But with the closure of each gate, an elemental power is lost, and those who stand against the Ashanti are less able to fight a threat that seeks control over life and death. Welcome back to the world of Myrrah, full of elemental magic and epic fantasy adventure! The fate of the world hangs in the balance, and the sacrifice to save it might be elemental magic. Discover this exhilarating tale that has received praise such as “It is the sort of read that reminds us how great fantasy can be.” and, “Strong characters and a beautiful world hold up a fine story. We love Ms. Birt’s work, we only wish we’d found her sooner.” The Games of Fire Trilogy bundle contains all three books of the series: Spark of Defiance, Fantasia Reviews 2017 nominated book of the Year Gates of Fire & Earth, and A New Goddess PLUS the Untold Stories of the World of Myrrah that contains novellas and short stories set in the same world (and often featuring familiar characters!).

Download or read book Fire in the Lake written by Frances FitzGerald and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2009-05-30 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frances FitzGerald's landmark history of Vietnam and the Vietnam War, "a compassionate and penetrating account of the collision of two societies that remain untranslatable to one another." (New York Times Book Review) This magisterial work, based on Frances FitzGerald's many years of research and travels, takes us inside the history of Vietnam -- the traditional, ancestor-worshiping villages, the conflicts between Communists and anti-Communists, Catholics and Buddhists, generals and monks, the disruption created by French colonialism, and America's ill-fated intervention -- and reveals the country as seen through Vietnamese eyes. Originally published in 1972, Fire in the Lake was the first history of Vietnam written by an American and won the Pulitzer Prize, the Bancroft Prize, and the National Book Award. With a clarity and insight unrivaled by any author before it or since, Frances FitzGerald illustrates how America utterly and tragically misinterpreted the realities of Vietnam.

Download or read book Children of Fire Rpg written by Erich Wambach and published by Blindluck Studios. This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For so many mortals, life is but a mundane existence. They glide through it like zombies, wishing the world was full of magic and mystery but believing in their hearts that it is not. If only they knew how their senses deceive. For all around them, celestial forces battle one another. The sons of light and the sons of darkness engage in an endless struggle over their everlasting souls, and more nefarious creations lie in wait to devour all that is good in the world. Children of Fire is a tabletop role-playing game (RPG) that lets you explore this ethereal world. In it, the players create angels who battle over the souls of the living. You'll pit yourself against demons, sorcerers, and other unholy emanations. But saving mankind is not always about direct conflict. Often these games center around difficult moral dilemmas, and the characters are often forced to confront their own frailties and imperfections. Children of Fire is a story-focused, combat-light game where players are angels battling for human souls, straining the shackles of predetermination, and struggling with their own immortality. Originally published over a decade ago as a popular web site, and later crowd-funded via Kickstarter.com, this all new edition features revised rules and 112 pages of stunning, full-color art. The book includes both the Children of Fire core game and the Children of Clay expansion, which provides rules for creating and playing mortal PCs.
