Transforming Learning Through Tangible Instruction offers a
transformative, student-centered approach to higher education
pedagogy that integrates embodied cognition into classroom
practice. Evidence across disciplines makes clear that people learn
with their bodies as well as their brains, but no previous book has
provided evidence-based guidance for adopting and refining its
practice in colleges and universities. Collecting findings from
cognitive science, educational neuroscience, learning theories, and
beyond, this volume's unique approach-radical yet practical,
effective yet low-cost-will have profound implications for higher
education faculty and administrators engaged in teaching and
learning. Seven concise chapters explore how physical objects,
hands-on making, active construction, and other elements of body
and environment can enhance comprehension, memory, and individual
and collaborative learning.

where her own heart lies.In I Love You So Mochi, author Sarah Kuhn

Can Lois Lane open herself up to friendship, romance, and being
vulnerable in order to get the future that's right for her? She
might have to change her entire life plan to find out. Ambitious
small town girl Lois Lane tackles a summer in the big city with
gusto, but a cavalcade of setbacks-including an annoying frenemy
roommate, a beyond tedious internship at a suddenly corporatized
website, and a boss who demotes her to coffee-fetching
minion-threatens to derail her extremely detailed life plan. And,
you know, her entire future. When Lois uncovers a potentially
explosive scandal, she must team up with the last person she'd
expect to publish her own website for young women. And as Lois
discovers who she really is and what she actually wants, she
becomes embroiled in her own scandal that could destroy everything
she's worked so hard to create. From beloved author, Sarah Kuhn
(Shadow of the Batgirl, Heroine Complex), and with expressive and
lively art by Arielle Jovellanos, comes a charming YA story about
the strength it takes to embrace the messiness of life.
Dr. Aphra teams up with Darth Vader himself in this original script
of the thrilling Star Wars audiobook production. Dr. Chelli Lona
Aphra, rogue archaeologist, is in trouble again. A pioneer in the
field of criminal xenoarchaeology, Aphra recognizes no law, has no
fear, and possesses no impulse control. To her, the true worth of
the galactic relics she discovers isn't found in a museum but in an
arsenal. This viewpoint has led to a lot of misunderstandings.
After her latest plan goes horribly wrong, her roguish ways are on
the verge of catching up to her. That's when suddenly Darth Vader,
terror of the galaxy, swoops in with his lightsaber and...saves her
life? Don't get her wrong--it's not like she's ungrateful. Sure,
her new boss is a lord of the Sith. And okay, she may have just
become a pawn in a deadly game being played by him and his boss,
who happens to be the Galactic Emperor. And yes, the life
expectancy of anyone who disappoints Vader can be measured in
seconds. But she's back doing what she does best. She's got a ship
to fly, a heist to pull, and two unorthodox but effective metal
buddies: Triple-Zero, a protocol droid specializing in etiquette,
customs, translation, and torture, and BT-1, anastromech loaded
with enough firepower to take down a battlecruiser. Together, they
might just find a way to get the job done and avoid the deadly
performance review that waits at its conclusion. Just kidding.

The fourth book in the smart, snarky, and action-packed Heroine
series follows Evie Tanaka, Aveda Jupiter, and Bea Tanaka as they
combat a new supernatural threat. Everything in Evie Tanaka's life
is finally perfect. As a badass superheroine, she defends San
Francisco from demon invasion on the regular. Her relationships
with superhero partner Aveda Jupiter, little sister Bea, and hot,
half-demon husband Nate have never been stronger. Maybe it's
possible for a grad school dropout turned put-upon personal
assistant turned superhero to have it all? Just when she thinks
life can't get any better, Evie learns she's pregnant. Everyone
around her is overjoyed...but Evie has major doubts about whether
she's cut out for motherhood. Before she can dwell on her dilemma,
a local women's college reports a string of mysterious "hauntings,"
and Evie and Aveda are called in to investigate, going undercover
as grad students during the creepiest time of the year: Halloween.
As she confronts terrifying ghosts and lives out a bizarre version
of the grad school life she left behind, Evie can't help but wonder
about the road not taken: what would her life be like if she'd
stayed here instead of pursuing superheroing with Aveda? And can an
overwhelmed pregnant superhero truly have it all? She's about to
find out.
Diehard fangirl Julie loves Buffy marathons, fighting about comic
book continuity, and being left alone. But more than anything,
Julie loves Glory Gilmore, a mostly-forgotten iList superheroine
from the world of '80s comics. For years, she's longed to reclaim
the precious Glory action figure that's eluded her grasp so many
times before. And one fateful weekend, she has the chance to do
just that. Of course, no great quest is ever simple. Before she can
triumph over the forces of loudmouth nerds and clueless Mundanes
everywhere, Julie will have to deal with an avalanche of unexpected
obstacles. In the midst of battles for videogame supremacy and
frustrating encounters with a supremely irritating TV pretty boy,
she'll be forced to reconsider her fandom and reevaluate her life.
She might even have to talk to people.
Asian American superheroines Evie Tanaka and Aveda Jupiter protect
San Francisco from perilous threats in the first book in this
snarky and smart urban fantasy series Being a superheroine is hard.
Working for one is even harder. Evie Tanaka is the put-upon
personal assistant to Aveda Jupiter, her childhood best friend and
San Francisco's most beloved superheroine. She's great at her
job-blending into the background, handling her boss's epic diva
tantrums, and getting demon blood out of leather pants.
Unfortunately, she's not nearly as together when it comes to
running her own life, standing up for herself, or raising her
tempestuous teenage sister, Bea. But everything changes when Evie's
forced to pose as her glamorous boss for one night, and her darkest
secret comes out: she has powers, too. Now it's up to her to
contend with murderous cupcakes, nosy gossip bloggers, and
supernatural karaoke battles-all while juggling unexpected romance
and Aveda's increasingly outrageous demands. And when a larger
threat emerges, Evie must finally take charge and become a
superheroine in her own right...or see her city fall to a full-on
demonic invasion.
