Download or read book Lectura R pida C mo Aumentar Tu Velocidad De Lectura Programa De 8 Pasos written by Shawn Jones and published by Babelcube Inc.. This book was released on 2019-06-19 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En realidad, la lectura rápida comenzó como parte del entrenamiento militar para identificar los aviones de guerra enemigos. Los pilotos utilizaron una herramienta de marcapasos llamada taquistoscopio que mostraba imágenes ante sus ojos a velocidades crecientes. Esto permitió a los pilotos identificar rápidamente los aviones enemigos para atacar cuando fuera necesario. Con los cientos de posibles aviones que se podían utilizar en el ámbito militar, esta rápida identificación fue literalmente la herramienta que marcó la diferencia entre la vida y la muerte. La lectura rápida tiene muchos usos prácticos en un mundo tan ajetreado como el actual. Puede ayudar a alguien a avanzar en su carrera, a hacer que un estudiante universitario complete sus estudios de postgrado, o a hacer que la lectura sea una experiencia más agradable y significativa. Para entender el texto es necesario mover los ojos para poner la fóvea en la parte del texto que se desea enfocar. La agudeza disminuye notablemente fuera de la fóvea y no se pueden discriminar las palabras y el texto lejos de la fóvea. Por lo tanto, ese es el factor limitante, como es también la rapidez con la que el cerebro puede procesar la información.

Book excerpt: Hundreds of grassroots groups have sprung up around the world to teach programming, web design, robotics, and other skills outside traditional classrooms. These groups exist so that people don't have to learn these things on their own, but ironically, their founders and instructors are often teaching themselves how to teach. There's a better way. This book presents evidence-based practices that will help you create and deliver lessons that work and build a teaching community around them. Topics include the differences between different kinds of learners, diagnosing and correcting misunderstandings, teaching as a performance art, what motivates and demotivates adult learners, how to be a good ally, fostering a healthy community, getting the word out, and building alliances with like-minded groups. The book includes over a hundred exercises that can be done individually or in groups, over 350 references, and a glossary to help you navigate educational jargon.

The use of this tool for performance improvement through systematic search and adaptation of leading practices, has expanded globally during the past decade.

Readers will gain practical insight on real life benchmarking practices and will benefit from the experiences gained in some of the leading benchmarking projects of the water industry (including the IWA-WSAA benchmarking efforts, the European Benchmarking Co-operation and the several benchmarking projects carried out in Austria and Central Europe). The manual also presents the new IWA Benchmarking Framework, which aims to harmonize the terms used to describe benchmarking and performance indicators practices in the water industry, guaranteeing a more fluent and efficient communication. This Manual of Best Practice is edited by the IWA Specialist Group on Benchmarking and Performance Assessment, and co-published by AWWA and IWA Publishing.

Download or read book Political Justice written by Otfried Höffe and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-10-07 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Otfried Höffe is one of the foremost political philosophers in Europe today. In this major work, already a classic in continental Europe, he re-examines philosophical discourse on justice - from Classical Greece to the present day. Höffe confronts what he sees as the two major challenges to any theory of justice: the legal, positivist claim that there are no standards of justice external to legal systems; and the anarchist claim that justice demands the rejection and abolition of all legal and state systems. Höffe sets out to continue the 'philosophical project of modernity', the legitimation of human rights, and their guarantee by the state, while at the same time rehabilitating the classical theory of political justice represented by Plato and Aristotle. He questions the success of the positivists in avoiding extra-legal normative claims, and casts doubt on the plausibility of their criticism of the Natural Law tradition. Most anarchists, he argues, rely on an uncritical assumption that social institutions other than states and legal orders do not coerce. In Höffe's view, some coercion is unavoidable, and the grounds for its justification must be examined. Principles of justice will be those principles which define fundamental rights, and which must be enforced if rights are to be respected.

Download or read book Urban Acupuncture written by Jaime Lerner and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2014-09-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During his three terms as mayor of Curitiba, Brazil in the 1970s and ‘80s, architect and urbanist Jaime Lerner transformed his city into a global model of the sustainable and livable community. From the pioneering Bus Rapid Transit system to parks designed to catch runoff and reduce flooding, and the creation of pedestrian-only zones, Lerner has been the driving force behind a host of innovative urban projects. In more than forty years of work in cities around the globe, Lerner has found that changes to a community don’t need to be large-scale and expensive to have a transformative impact—in fact, one block, park, or a single person can have an outsized effect on life in the surrounding city. In Urban Acupuncture, Lerner celebrates these “pinpricks” of urbanism—projects, people, and initiatives from around the world that ripple through their communities to uplift city life. With meditative and descriptive prose, Lerner brings readers around the world to streets and neighborhoods where urban acupuncture has been practiced best, from the bustling La Boqueria market in Barcelona to the revitalization of the Cheonggyecheon River in Seoul, South Korea. Through this journey, Lerner invites us to re-examine the true building blocks of vibrant communities—the tree-lined avenues, night vendors, and songs and traditions that connect us to our cities and to one another. Urban Acupuncture is the first of Jaime Lerner’s visionary work to be published in English. It is a love letter to the elements that make a street hum with life or a neighborhood feel like home, penned by one of the world’s most successful advocates for sustainable and livable urbanism.
Download or read book Ecotourism and Conservation in the Americas written by Amanda Stronza and published by CABI. This book was released on 2008 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecotourism has been credited with conserving biological and cultural diversity, alleviating rural poverty, increasing public awareness of environmental concerns and strengthening ties between tourism operators and local populations. For these reasons, ecotourism has grown in popularity with tourists as well as governmental development agencies and conservation organizations. Over twenty years after its inception, it now needs to be asked: Does ecotourism measure up to its environmental, social and economic ideals? Using detailed case studies, regional overviews and thematic analyses, Ecotourism and Conservation in the Americas evaluates the pros and cons of ecotourism for communities and ecosystems. Focusing particularly on the Americas, perspectives are drawn from private tour operators, non-governmental conservation and development organizations, local and indigenous communities and tourism researchers. Chapters discuss local benefits and conservation value through discussions of social impacts, the assessment of conservation potential, environmental education and the setting and maintaining of standards.
