Have you ever had an idea for a book, a movie, or a TV show?
Chances are that you ve had many. Today s students, who are coming
of age in a world that is increasingly mediated by smartphones,
pads, pods, apps, and the Internet, are even more likely to think
of their lives and experiences in terms of stories. Unlocking the
Moviemaking Mind explores how our innate abilities as storytellers
can be used in the K-12 classroom to stimulate new approaches to
learning. Relying on data collected during a multi-year research
project in a variety of school settings, this book relies on story
and synthesis to present tried and true methods of introducing
media making practices in the classroom. Unlocking the Moviemaking
Mind also offers strategies for overcoming individual and
systematic barriers that educators and administrators are likely to
encounter when incorporating storytelling into their curricula.
Moreover, the book broaches topics that are especially germane to
today s students, including literacy, motivation, and experiential
learning.
Team Being is a book about creative collaboration—what it is, how
it works and how to maximize chances of doing it well. The book is
built upon years of experience working with thousands of nascent
teams from education, business and government where participants
were expected to generate results in formations from two to
twenty-five people. The book shares complex insights on
collaboration combining direct observations of creative teams in
action, extensive reviews of ground-breaking research in the field
and insights from leaders of professional creative teams. Team
Being goes beyond other teamwork books incorporating compelling
insights and perspectives from psychodynamics, neuroscience and
quantum physics, all of which help to illuminate the often-hidden
forces at work in collaborative environments. The more aware
leaders are of these forces, the more empowered they are to lead
teams by influence rather than blind authority. Learning how to
work well with others is an inconvenience, not unlike what grammar
is to writing. Teamwork is an essential skill for the 21st century
work force, but there is currently no natural, convenient or
effective place to learn it in most institutions of education.

Collectively, genetic diseases and common diseases with a genetic
component pose a significant public health burden. With completion
of the human genome sequence, scientists will now focus on
understanding the clinical implications of the sequence
information. Clinical genetic tests are becoming available at a
rapid rate. Testing is regulated by the federal government and
tests are beginning to be included in health insurance benefits
packages. Issues surrounding genetic testing and non-discrimination
addressed in this book include: What is health information and how
is it currently used by health insurers and employers?; What is
genetic information?; Is genetic information different from other
health information?; What are the implications of having genetic
information: for the individual undergoing testing? for his/her
family? for society?; What evidence exists to suggest that
discrimination is a problem?; Will the proposed legislation have
been sufficient to protect "genetic information" and "genetic
tests" that are of concern?; How does the proposed legislation
compare with existing laws and regulations governing
discrimination?
