Book Description
In the last 20 years, the cognitive sciences have revealed fresh, surprising, and useful insights into how and why our students learn. Teachers can now draw on psychology and neuroscience research to supplement, reconsider, even overturn our traditions and training. To use this research most wisely, teachers must find our way to an elusive Goldilocks Zone. Instead of resisting all research-based guidance, we should be ready to take it to heart – even when it challenges both our training and conventional wisdom. Instead of accepting all research-based guidance, we should be ready to reject it emphatically – especially the hyped-up edu-fads that exaggerate and misinterpret psychology findings. How can we get this Goldilocks balance “just right”? This book offers a specific, practical quest map to discover just such a balance. By critically examining the source, the research, and ourselves, teachers can develop the skills necessary to be effective research skeptics. Written by a teacher with 18 years in the classroom – and 13 years studying neuroscience and psychology – The Goldilocks Map transforms brain research from a daunting monologue into an approachable, exciting, and lively conversation.

Book Description
James yearned to weave science and religion into a popular philosophy useful for the everyday life of everyday people of faith. He saw that many of them were defenseless in an increasingly agnostic, even atheistic culture. "Thousands of innocent magazine readers lie paralyzed and terrified in the network of shallow negations which the leaders of opinion have thrown over their souls," he wrote in 1882. To which he added, "If I, . . . like the mouse in the fable, have gnawed a few of the strings of the sophistical net that has been binding down [the human heart's] lion strength, I shall be more than rewarded for my pains." Were he to return, he would surely be even more unhappy with the leaders of opinion, but also with the responses of people of faith, who either seek refuge in untenable fundamentalist reliance on religious scriptures or else view science and religion as two wholly separate, independent spheres of knowledge. Building on three previous books about Jamess philosophy, as well as on three books about related topics, the present text will explain why no one professing to do science in this third millennium can ignore the psychology behind all discoveries.

Book Description
This book assesses current assumptions about how language is acquired, remembered and retained as impulses in the brain, from the perspective of neurolinguistics, which is based on neuroanatomy and neurophysiology. Fred C. C. Peng argues that language is behaviour, which has evolved in human genetics through time. Like all behaviours, language utilises many body parts which are controlled by the cortical and subcortical structures of the brain. Language in the brain is memory-governed, meaning-centred, and multifaceted. This view is a challenge to conventional neuroscience, which sees language and speech as separate entities; such a convention is not consistent with how the brain functions. Dr Peng's study of language in the brain has wide-reaching implications for the study of language disorders, neurolinguistics, and psycholinguistics in dealing with dementia, aphasia, and schizophrenia. This cutting-edge research monograph presents challenging new insights in the field of neuroscience to a linguistic audience and will also benefit neuroscientists. It will be essential reading for academics researching any aspect of language and the brain.

Book Description
Language Intelligence or Universal English by Dr. Rimaletta Ray The book Language Intelligence or Universal English is a collection of the three volumes, Book One, Book Two, and Book Three , that represent the three parts of one, interconnected auto-training remedial course on renewing any language intelligence , in general, and the English language intelligence ,in particular. Language fitness is the main prerogative of all the three books. Without a doubt, the globalization of economy and a new technological revolution require that we display a much higher level of language habits and speech skills, the skills that do not only meet our immediate needs of communication in English, but also the skills that generate new business opportunities and help us promote an intelligent network building, using English as the main web-tool. Building solid language intelligence is vital for rationalizing our lives at the present choice-driven and digitally focused times. The books are helping to create breakthroughs for developing new language intelligence that, in turn, will help readers build up emotional, professional, cultural, and social intelligences that are at the core of global communication now and that are the main concepts of the book Living Intelligence that is , coming out next. Book One- is a remedial course of linguistic apprenticeship. Its a theoretical book that is addressed to language learners/speakers who are willing to rationalize and remedy their native or the English language knowledge in the brain. There is an urgent need for language learners to know how language is being processed in the brain to be able to operate it in a much more scientifically-informed way, neuroscience-wise. It also presents a new paradigm of language learning based on the Method of the Right Language Behavior, worked out by Dr. Rimaletta Ray, a doctor of Psycholinguistics. Book Two is a practical course. It presents the Method of the Right Language Behavior in action, focusing on remedying a readers Pronunciation, Grammar and Vocabulary habits. It contains and very well structured chunks of basic brain-focused information, and it presents the practical shot-cuts on how to build up the operative language awareness in English Book Three is a remedial course, based on the ways that are considerably improving readers Speaking, Writing, Reading, and Listening Skills. It contains the shot-cuts of the remedial work on the speech skills and the know-how to better choreograph them in face-to- face and digital communication. Be Language - Fit to Succeed!

Book Description
As a career counsellor, I have met thousands of people throughout the course of my life. I’ve seen extremely successful people lead their lives as if they were born to rule the world. They knew what they wanted to do. And they went after it with everything they had, heart, mind and soul. There’s one characteristic that sets successful people apart from others. Makes them stand out like lions amidst a herd of sheep. It’s easy to spot them, thanks to that unmistakable aura. What is that quality? I’ve had many people write to me. They express their fears, lack of self-esteem. They tell me how they shiver at the thought of addressing people. Whether it’s a public speech or a social gathering, fear grips them and prevents them from doing anything else. Some of my friends also have the same problem. Not that they don’t work hard. No. They give everything they have. Yet, they struggle to become successful. So, what is that quality that separates successful people from others? You guessed it. It’s confidence. I’ve observed that most people are willing to work and give it their best shot, but they lack confidence. What exactly is confidence, though? Is it some mysterious secret you can’t possess? And why is it so hard to gain confidence especially when you need it the most? Well, confidence is a momentary emotion of clarity, certainty and control. Clarity of your thoughts, control over your mind, body and actions, and certainty for performance followed by commitment to your goal. Confidence is derived from “fidere” – from Latin, which means “trust”. Simply put, confidence is about trusting yourself. Then why does that trust waver at times? Because confidence is not permanent. It’s a momentary strength that needs to be practiced. There are several techniques, scientific and creative to do that. And, this book will reveal 101 ways to do it
