Game-changing wisdom from pioneering coach and Nike executive George Raveling, coauthored by bestselling author Ryan Holiday - with a foreword by basketball legend Michael Jordan

George Raveling knows all about beating the odds. A living legend, he has been a game-changing basketball coach, stood at the side of Martin Luther King Jr, mentored Michael Jordan and shaped the world of sports as a Director at Nike. But his life began in the shadow of segregation, death and mental illness.

Here, he teams up with bestselling author Ryan Holiday to share the lessons drawn from his extraordinary life and career. This is not a memoir, but a blueprint for anyone who wants to overcome obstacles and achieve success on their own terms. You'll find strategies for discovering purpose, insights on how to keep evolving and growing, advice for building meaningful connections, and tactics to compound daily victories into your greatest achievements. From finding a mentor to building a legacy, this book provides tools to not just navigate life, but to live it with intention and impact. And it all starts with the question: what are you made for?

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.

for SATB (with divisions) and organ. Maurice Ravel's popular Pavane pour une infante defunte is here arranged for mixed voices and organ, allowing choirs to perform this beautiful staple of the orchestral repertoire for the first time. Rupert Gough's arrangement sets the words of the 'Requiem aeternam' to the existing melody, and features a characterful and active organ part that underpins the sustained vocal lines. The piece has been recorded by The Choir of Royal Holloway on the album Messe da pacem.

Ravel composed the original piano version of this piece in 1899 after resuming his studies at the Paris Conservatory. It was published the next year and became an overnight success. Despite some self-criticism of his youthful work for being "poor in form," Ravel thought well enough of it to prepare an orchestral version in late 1910, which was given its premiere under the baton of Henry Wood at the Manchester Gentlemen's Concerts on 27 February 1911. This newly-engraved critical edition will be appreciated by Ravel fans, students, and conductors everywhere.

In this sequel to the award-winning A Boy Is Not a Bird, a boy is exiled to Siberia during World War II. Based on a true story. Torn from his home in Eastern Europe, with his father imprisoned in a Siberian gulag, twelve-year-old Natt finds himself stranded with other deportees in a schoolyard in Novosibirsk. And he is about to discover that life can indeed get worse than the horrific two months he and his mother have spent being transported on a bug-infested livestock train. He needs to write to his best friend, Max, but he knows the Soviet police reads everyone's mail. So Natt decides to write in code, and his letters are a lifeline, even though he never knows whether Max will receive them. Every day becomes a question of survival, and where they might be shunted to next. When his mother is falsely arrested for stealing potatoes, Natt is truly on his own and must learn how to live the uncertain life of an exile. Practice being invisible as a ghost, change your name and identity if you have to, watch out for spies, and never draw the attention of the authorities. Even then, he will need luck on his side if he is ever going to be reunited with his family.
