The UK Teaching and Learning Research Programme (TLRP) worked
for ten years to improve outcomes for learners in schools and other
sectors through high quality research. One outcome of individual
projects and across-Programme thematic work was the development of
ten ?evidence-informed? principles for effective pedagogy. Synopses
of these principles have been widely disseminated, particularly to
practitioners. However, the evidence and reasoning underpinning
them has not yet been fully explained. This book fills this gap by
providing a scholarly account of the research evidence that
informed the development of these principles, as well as offering
some evidence of early take-up and impact. It also includes
responses from highly-respected researchers throughout the world in
order to locate the work in the broader international literature,
to extend it by drawing on similar work elsewhere, to provide
critique and to stimulate further development and debate.
Principles for Effective Pedagogy contributes to international
dialogue on effective teaching and learning, providing a focus for
scholarly comment, sharing of expertise and knowledge
accumulation.
This book was originally published as a special issue of
Research Papers in Education.
This book offers a comparative analysis of the experiences,
responses, and adaptations of people to climate variability and
environmental change across the Americas. It foregrounds historical
ecology as a structural framework for understanding the climate
change crisis throughout the region and throughout time. In recent
years Indigenous and local populations in particular have
experienced climate change effects such as altered weather
patterns, seasonal irregularities, flooding and drought, and
difficulties relating to subsistence practices. Understanding and
dealing with these challenges has drawn on peoples’ longstanding
experience with climate variability and in some cases includes
models of mitigation and responses that are millennia old. With
contributions from specialists across the Americas, the volume will
be of interest to scholars from fields including anthropology,
archaeology, geography, environmental studies, and Indigenous
studies.

The Basics of Media Writing: A Strategic Approach helps readers
develop the essential writing skills and professional habits needed
to succeed in 21st-century media careers. This research-driven,
strategy-based media writing textbook digs deeply into how media
professionals think and write in journalism, public relations,
advertising, and other forms of strategic communication. Authors
Scott A. Kuehn and Andrew Lingwall have created two comprehensive
writing models to help students overcome their problems in finding
and developing story topics by giving them "starting points" to
begin writing. The Professional Strategy Triangle model shows
students how to think critically about the audience, the situation,
and the message before starting a news story or persuasive piece
and the FAJA four-point model asks students a series of questions
about their story type (Fact, Analysis, Judgment, or Action) to
guide them to the right angle or organizational structure for their
message. Rooted in classical rhetorical methods, this step-by-step
technique enables readers to strategically approach each writing
task, no matter the format.
A New York Times bestseller, now updated with an afterword and
exclusive new material From the #1 bestselling author behind
acclaimed oral histories of Saturday Night Live and ESPN comes "the
most hotly anticipated book [in decades]" (Variety): James Andrew
Miller's irresistible insider chronicle of the modern entertainment
industry, told through the epic story of Creative Artists Agency
(CAA)-the ultimate power player that has represented the world's
biggest stars and shaped the landscape of film, television, comedy,
music, and sports. Started in 1975, when five bright and brash
upstarts left creaky William Morris to form their own innovative
talent agency, CAA would come to revolutionize Hollywood,
representing everyone from Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep, Robert De
Niro, and Steven Spielberg to Jennifer Lawrence, J.J. Abrams, Will
Smith, and Brad Pitt. Over the next decades its tentacles would
spread aggressively into sports, advertising, and digital media.
Powerhouse is the fascinating, no-holds-barred saga of that ascent.
Drawing on unprecedented and exclusive access to the men and women
who built and battled with CAA-including co-founders Michael Ovitz
and Ron Meyer and rivals like Ari Emanuel of William Morris
Endeavor-as well as the stars themselves, Miller spins a unique and
unforgettable tale of brilliance, ambition, betrayal, and
outrageous success.
When first published to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Saturday
Night Live, LIVE FROM NEW YORK was immediately proclaimed the best
book ever produced on the landmark and legendary late-night show.
In their own words, unfiltered and uncensored, a dazzling galaxy of
trail-blazing talents recalled three turbulent decades of on-camera
antics and off-camera escapades. Now a fourth decade has
passed---and bestselling authors James Andrew Miller and Tom Shales
have returned to Studio 8H. Over more than 100 pages of new
material, they raucously and revealingly take the SNL story up to
the present, adding a constellation of iconic new stars, surprises,
and controversies.
