Title: Failure to Disrupt: Why Technology Alone Cant Transform Education

Author: Justin Reich

Narrator: Eric Michael Summerer

Format: Unabridged

Length: 08:53:05

Language: English

Release date: 07-06-21

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Non-Fiction, Education

Summary:

Proponents of large-scale learning have boldly promised that technology can disrupt traditional approaches to schooling, radically accelerating learning and democratizing education. Much-publicized experiments, often underwritten by Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, have been launched at elite universities and in elementary schools in the poorest neighborhoods. Such was the excitement that, in 2012, the New York Times declared the 'year of the MOOC.' Less than a decade later, that pronouncement seems premature.

In Failure to Disrupt, Justin Reich delivers a sobering report card on the latest supposedly transformative educational technologies. Reich takes listeners on a tour of MOOCs, autograders, computerized 'intelligent tutors,' and other educational technologies whose problems and paradoxes have bedeviled educators. Learning technologies often provide the greatest benefit to affluent students and do little to combat growing inequality in education. And institutions and investors often favor programs that scale up quickly, but at the expense of true innovation.

Technology does have a crucial role to play in the future of education, Reich concludes. We still need new teaching tools, and classroom experimentation should be encouraged. But successful reform efforts will focus on incremental improvements, not the next killer app.

Summary:

As witch and vintage store owner Lily Ivory steps into her new role as leader of the Bay Area's magical community, she's faced with a mysterious death of magical proportions . . .

Strange things are happening in Lily Ivory's San Francisco. First, she finds a vintage mermaid costume which dates from the 1939 San Francisco's Treasure Island World's Fair-and which gives off distinctly peculiar vibrations. Next, she stumbles upon a dead man in the office of her predecessor, and as the community's new leader, she feels compelled to track down the culprit. Just when Lily thinks things can't get any stranger, a man appears claiming to be her half-brother, spouting ideas about the mystical prophecy involving San Francisco and their family . . .

When the dead man is linked to the mysterious mermaid costume, and then yet another victim is found on Treasure Island, Lily uncovers ties between the long-ago World's fair and the current murders, and begins to wonder whether the killer might be hiding in plain sight. But unless Lily can figure everything out in time, there may be yet another body floating in San Francisco Bay.

Release date: 07-06-21

Publisher: Tantor Media

Summary:

Ever lock eyes with someone from across the room and know it was sinful?

HIM

Deliciously dangerous and addictive. That's how I felt when I kissed her. My gut knew she was trouble before my heart did, but she betrayed both. I swore on my Crowne family, that trust was something I'd never give twice. But with the past creeping back to light-and her along with it-it seems my world might fall victim to the messy kind of secrets I'm usually so good at cleaning up.

HER

If sin had a taste, it would be him. But in our world, trust isn't given, it's only received once you've proven your loyalty. I doubt he'll ever look at me the same again, but he's the only person I can turn to. The only one for the job. It takes one look from him to know I'm in more trouble than I thought. He might be a saint, but sinful is his nature. Unfortunately for me, I've always been the sinning type.

Title: Between Two Kings: Or, Ten Years Later

Author: Alexandre Dumas

Narrator: John Lee

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12:16:30

Language: English

Release date: 07-06-21

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Historical Fiction, Action & Adventure, Classics

Summary:

For years dArtagnan shared his adventures with his three comradesAthos, Porthos, and Aramisbut now, in Between Two Kings, the First Musketeer returns to the forefront. This is truly dArtagnans novel, bringing to a dramatic climax the story that began when he first arrived in Paris thirty years earlier in The Three Musketeers.

This brand-new translation of Between Two Kings immediately picks up the story and themes of Blood Royal, where dArtagnan tries to thwart destiny by saving Englands Charles I; now, he will be instrumental in the restoration of his son, Charles II, the first of the two kings of the title. Disappointed in the irresolution of young Louis XIV, dArtagnan takes a leave of absence from the Kings Musketeers and ventures to England with a bold plan to hoist Charles II onto his throne, a swashbuckling escapade in which he is unwittingly assisted by his old comrade Athos. DArtagnan returns triumphant to France, where he is recalled to service by the second king, Louis XIV, who is now finally ready to take full advantage of the extraordinary talents of his officer of musketeers.

This newly translated volume by Lawrence Ellsworth is the first volume of Alexandre Dumass mega-novel Le Vicomte de Bragelonne, the epic finale to the Musketeers Cycle, which will end with the justly famous The Man in the Iron Mask. This marks the first significant new English translation of this series of novels in over a century.

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, Europe, Military, Science & Technology, Technology & Engineering

Summary:

The first operational military jet in the world, towards the end of the Second World War the Me 262 was to be the German 'miracle weapon.' Mano Ziegler was involved from its inception and contributed to the design, testing, training, and even served in it operationally.

Could the Me 262 have broken the Allied supremacy in the air? Why did it take so long to come into service and why were hundreds of German pilots sacrificed in developing it? Why did the Me 262 prove not to be the unparalleled success claimed by Goering and why were German cities left dangerously exposed against Allied bombing campaigns? These are only some of the important questions this book answers.

Hitler's Jet Plane fills an important gap in the history of the Luftwaffe and of aviation in general with new research which discloses how the first military jet plane failed to make its mark on World War II.

Title: Birdpedia: A Brief Compendium of Avian Lore

Author: Christopher W. Leahy

Narrator: P.J. Ochlan

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:39:19

Language: English

Release date: 07-06-21

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Science & Technology, Animals & Nature

Summary:

A captivating A-Z treasury about birds and birding.

Birdpedia is an engaging compendium of bird facts and birding lore. Featuring nearly 200 entries-on topics ranging from plumage and migration to birds in art, literature, and folklore-this enticing collection is brimming with wisdom and wit about all things avian.

Christopher Leahy sheds light on 'hawk-watching,' 'twitching,' and other rituals from the sometimes mystifying world of birding that entail a good deal more than their names imply. He explains what kind of bird's nests you can eat, why mocking birds mock, and many other curiosities that have induced otherwise sane people to peer into treetops using outrageously expensive optical equipment. Leahy shares illuminating insights about pioneering ornithologists such as John James Audubon and Florence Bailey, and describes unique bird behaviors such as anting, caching, duetting, and mobbing. He discusses avian fossils, the colloquial naming of birds, the science and history of ornithology, and more.
