Meet Ada Lovelace, the British mathematician and daughter of poet
Lord Byron. Part of the beloved Little People, BIG DREAMS series,
this inspiring and informative little biography follows the
colourful life of Lord Byron's daughter, from her early love of
logic, to her plans for the world's first computer program. As a
child, Ada had a big imagination and a talent for mathematics. She
grew up in a noble household in England, where she dedicated
herself to studying. Her work with the famous inventor, Charles
Babbage, on a very early kind of computer made her the world's
first computer programmer. This moving book features stylish and
quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a
biographical timeline with historical images and a detailed profile
of the mathematician's life. Little People, BIG DREAMS is a
bestselling series of books and educational games that explore the
lives of outstanding people, from designers and artists to
scientists and activists. All of them achieved incredible things,
yet each began life as a child with a dream. This empowering series
offers inspiring messages to children of all ages, in a range of
formats. The board books are told in simple sentences, perfect for
reading aloud to babies and toddlers. The hardback versions present
expanded stories for beginning readers. Boxed gift sets allow you
to collect a selection of the books by theme. Paper dolls, learning
cards, matching games and other fun learning tools provide even
more ways to make the lives of these role models accessible to
children. Inspire the next generation of outstanding people who
will change the world with Little People, BIG DREAMS!
Let's do Integrated Science is a learner-centred series for Grades
1-7 with a step-by-step approach that ensures full syllabus
coverage. Written by experts at this level, activities engage
learners in their own learning process, practically, and focus on
learning through doing.
Have you been wondering how well your students understand
engineering and technology concepts? Have you been wishing for
formative assessment tools in both English and Spanish? If so, this
is the book for you. Like the other 11 books in the bestselling
Uncovering Student Ideas series, Uncovering Student Ideas About
Engineering and Technology does the following: Brings you engaging
questions, also known as formative assessment probes. The book's 32
probes are designed to uncover what students know-or think they
know-about what technology and engineering are, how to define
related problems, and how to design and test solutions. The probes
will help you uncover students' current thinking about everything
from the purpose of technology to who can become an engineer to how
an engineering design process works. Offers field-tested teacher
materials that provide best answers along with distracters designed
to reveal preconceptions and misunderstandings that students
commonly hold. Since the content is explained in clear, everyday
language, even engineering and technology novices can grasp and
teach it effectively. Is convenient even for time-starved teachers
like you. The new probes are short, easy-to-administer activities
that come ready to reproduce for speakers of both English and
Spanish. In addition to explaining the engineering and technology
content, the teacher materials note links to A Framework for K-12
Science Education and the Next Generation Science Standards and
suggest grade-appropriate ways to present material so students will
learn it accurately. Uncovering Student Ideas About Engineering and
Technology has the potential to help you take an important first
step in teaching for understanding-and perhaps transform your
teaching about STEM-related topics.

This two-volume book, Biomolecules and Pharmacology of Medicinal
Plants, will be a valuable desk reference book on bioactives and
pharmacology of medicinal plants. Listing the medicinal plants by
species, each of these 77 chapters detail the plants' bioactive
phytocompounds and their chemical structures along with their
pharmacological activities and properties. These include the
plants' antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant,
anticancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, hepatoprotective,
cardioprotective, and nephroprotective properties. Bioactive
compounds typically occur in small amounts, and they have more
subtle effects than nutrients. Bioactive compounds influence
cellular activities that modify the risk of disease and cure and
alleviate disease symptoms. These compounds can act as
antioxidants, enzyme inhibitors and inducers, inhibitors of
receptor activities, and inducers and inhibitors of gene expression
among other actions. A wide array of biological activities and
potential health benefits of medicinal plants have been reported,
which include antiviral, antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-cancer,
anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic properties as well as protective
effects on the liver, kidney, heart, and nervous system. The
volumes will be a must-have reference for pharmacy institutes and
pharmacy professors, phytochemists and research scholars, botanists
working with medicinal plants, and postgraduate students of
pharmacy and medicine round the world. The comprehensive
information presented here provides an invaluable source to aid in
the development of new drugs.
