The Gap Decade Stories from Ten Years Spent WanderingDescription

For a little over a decade Fisher wanders anywhere he can get to and works any temp job he can walk away from and he writes every day. And this is what he wrote. This first book in the Gap Decade Series tracks the progress of a young traveler trying to stretch out that portion of our lives when we are most open to immersing ourselves in the world and its people.

5. Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die
Feature
Made to Stick Why Some Ideas Survive and Others DieDescription
Starred Review. Unabashedly inspired by Malcolm Gladwell's bestselling The Tipping Point, the brothers Heath-Chip a professor at Stanford's business school, Dan a teacher and textbook publisher-offer an entertaining, practical guide to effective communication. Drawing extensively on psychosocial studies on memory, emotion and motivation, their study is couched in terms of "stickiness"-that is, the art of making ideas unforgettable. They start by relating the gruesome urban legend about a man who succumbs to a barroom flirtation only to wake up in a tub of ice, victim of an organ-harvesting ring. What makes such stories memorable and ensures their spread around the globe? The authors credit six key principles: simplicity, unexpectedness, concreteness, credibility, emotions and stories. (The initial letters spell out "success"-well, almost.) They illustrate these principles with a host of stories, some familiar (Kennedy's stirring call to "land a man on the moon and return him safely to the earth" within a decade) and others very funny (Nora Ephron's anecdote of how her high school journalism teacher used a simple, embarrassing trick to teach her how not to "bury the lead"). Throughout the book, sidebars show how bland messages can be made intriguing. Fun to read and solidly researched, this book deserves a wide readership. (Jan. 16)6.

Vintage book7. I Got Schooled: The Unlikely Story of How a Moonlighting Movie Maker Learned the Five Keys to Closing Americas Education Gap
Feature
Used Book in Good ConditionDescription
In this vital new book, the famed filmmaker tells how his passion for education reform led him to learn that there are five tested, indispensable keys to transforming Americas underperforming schools.I Got Schooled offers a look at Americas educational achievement gap that could only have come from an outsider.
Famed director M. Night Shyamalan has long had a serious interest in education. The foundation he and his wife started once gave college scholarships to promising inner-city students, but Shyamalan realized that these scholarships did nothing to improve education for all the other students in under-performing schools. When he learned that some schools were succeeding with similar student populations, he traveled across the country to find out how they did this and whether these schools had something in common. He eventually learned that there are five keys to closing Americas achievement gap. But just as we must do several things to maintain good health eat the right foods, exercise regularly, get a good nights sleepso too must we use all five keys to turn around our lowest-performing schools.
These five keys are used by all the schools that are succeeding, and no schools are succeeding without them. Before he discovered them, Shyamalan investigated some popular reform ideas that proved to be dead ends, such as smaller class size, truculent unions, and merit pay for teachers. He found that the biggest obstacle to school reform is cognitive biases: too many would-be reformers have committed themselves to false solutions.
This is a deeply personal book by an unbiased observer determined to find out what works and why so that we as a nation can fulfill our obligation to give every student an opportunity for a good education.

12. The Myth Gap: What Happens When Evidence and Arguments Aren't Enough?
Feature
Bantam PressDescription
Why, rather than the best-qualified candidate ever to run for president, did voters opt for a reality TV star with no political experience? Why, with no idea what it actually meant, did the UK vote for Brexit? In the absence of greater, more unifying narratives, voters opted for the best story available. Once upon a time stories helped us to understand the world and ourselves. We called them myths. Today, we have a myth gapa vacuum that Alex Evans argues is both dangerous and an opportunity. This bookexplores how tomorrows activists are using narratives for change, how modern stories have been used and abused, and where we might find the right myths to take us forward.
