Everything there is to know about avocados is here: ancient
origins, amazing health properties, restorative cosmetic uses, and
a recipe collection far beyond the tried and true. This book
features a fresh visual design aesthetic that reflects the creative
sensibility of Mexican contemporary art, graphic design,
atmospheric photography, and street style. Recipes cover everything
from guacamole in many variations, salads, unusual sides, many
permutations of avocado toast even toastless avocado sandwiches as
well as less well-known and offbeat uses. The book also explores
avocado butter and oil; detoxifying smoothies; rejuvenating
cosmetic salves and masks, and much more. Practical matters are
also addressed: an avocado overview by type; storage tips;
preserving the brilliant green flesh from browning; ripening
immature fruits; and safety tips for slicing and de-pitting.
Avocados are grown in Mediterranean climates globally and dominate
social media, hip restaurant menus, and health-based diets, but
this is the first book paying tribute to the superfruit s deep
roots as a native, Mexican heritage food.
The incredible story of a 1958 murder that ended with the last
woman to ever be executed in California-a murder so twisted it
seems ripped from a Greek tragedy. Deborah Larkin was only ten
years old when the quiet calm of her California suburb was
shattered. Thirty miles north, on a quiet November night in Santa
Barbara, a pregnant nurse named Olga Duncan disappeared from her
apartment. The mystery deepens when it is discovered that Olga's
mother in-law-a deeply manipulative and deceptive woman-had been
doing everything in her power to separate Olga and her son, Frank,
prior to Olga's disappearance. From a forged annulment to multiple
attempts to hire people to "get rid" of Olga, to a faked
excoriation case, Elizabeth seemed psychopathically attached to her
son. Yet she denied having anything to do with Olga's disappearance
with a smile. But when Olga's brutally beaten body is found in a
shallow grave, apparently buried alive, a young DA makes it his
mission to see that Elizabeth Duncan is brought to justice. Adding
a wrinkle to his efforts is the fact that Frank-himself a defense
attorney-maintained his mother's innocent to the end. How does a
young girl process such a crime along with the fear and disbelieve
that rocked an entire community? Decades later, Larkin is
determined to revisit the case and bring the story of Olga herself
to light. Long overshadowed by the sensationalism and scandal of
Elizabeth and Frank, A Lovely Girl seeks to reveal Olga as a woman
in full. Someone who was more than the twisted family that would
ultimately ensnare her. As we follow the heart-pounding drama of
the case through Larkin's young eyes-her father was the court
reporter-A Lovely Girl is by turns page-turning yet poingnant, and
makes the reader reexamine how we handle fear, how we regard mental
illness, and how we understand family as we carve our own path in a
dangerous world.
Current trends in education suggest that pupils should have more
responsibility for their own learning, but how can they if they
don't understand the what, the why and the how? This practical
guide explores the idea that a metacognitive approach enables
pupils to develop skills for lifelong learning. If pupils can
identify the what, the why, and the how of their learning, they can
begin to formulate strategies for overcoming challenges and for
continuous improvement. In this book, the authors truly engage with
research into the link between metacognition and learning, and the
idea that if you can effectively articulate your thoughts and
strategies regarding how you learn, you might then be in a better
position to take actions in order to improve and to be able to
learn best. An appendix of useful resources is also included, which
offers a range of activities surrounding the language of learning,
reflection and metacognition, as well essential advice on how to
develop metacognition in the early years (4-8), middle years
(8-10), and upper years (10-13). Metacognition in the Primary
Classroom demonstrates how important it is for children to be
well-enough informed to play an active role in learning better.
Having the language skills to talk about your learning, and the
opportunity to share ideas and strategies with others, enables all
concerned to explore and develop approaches in order to learn
better. This book is a crucial read for anyone interested in
ensuring that pupils take an active role in their own learning.
