Physical geography lab exercises tend to be crafted for internal institutional use only. In light of the need to have online laboratory material for remote instruction, a group of geography instructors from across British Columbia (BC), Canada came together for this collaborative project with the goal of producing a cross-institutional open education resource (OER) laboratory manual for first-year post-secondary physical geography courses. The lab manual consists of 24 labs that cover an introduction to physical geography, weather and climate, biogeography, map and geospatial skills, hydrology, geomorphology, and landform identification. Many of the labs have a BC setting; however, they are useable across Canada and further abroad. The majority of the labs have been developed so that they can be done in any order to increase instructor flexibility and promote adaptability to differing course structures and durations. Many of the labs have students using live data, or built-in flexibility with datasets for instructors in order to prevent the lab exercises becoming static over time. The lab manual is licenced under a creative common license (refer to licensing information) so that the lab modules can be modified as needed by instructors to meet the learning outcomes of their students.

The second edition of this lab manual was created in the spring and summer of 2021 for the 2021/22 academic year and beyond. The second edition features substantial revisions to the labs and instructor notes for consistency and effectiveness, a reordering of the lab numbers, and two new labs (lab 07 and 19).

British Columbia in a Global Context

description:
Over the course of four days in June, 2014, 5 faculty members from across British Columbia supported by a facilitator, librarian, researcher, illustrator, programmer and instructional designer, created this book. This involved drawing on our own research, teaching and experience and working with the team to put it all together into an online format; one which would be accessible to students and educators alike.

Beyond the unique way in which this book was created in a Book Sprint process, there are other elements of this book that make it unique. First, it takes a holistic approach to first year Geography, incorporating elements of Physical, Human, and Regional Geography, as well as bringing in methods and perspectives from Spatial Information Science.

Pedagogically, this book incorporates elements of service learning and suggested service learning activities recognizing that the study of Geography is deeply connected to the communities we live in. Many of the suggestions for service learning are illustrated through the use of case studies from across BC.

The book is aimed at a a first year or introductory Geography student, and would be suitable for a first year Geography course on BC.

Mythoi Koinoi: An Online, Open-Access Anthology of Greek and Roman Myth began with the observation that many of the texts that we study in our Greek and Roman mythology classes have translations that are available online, either in the public domain or under open access copyright, though many of them are archaic, unreadable, and therefore inaccessible to modern students. Accessibility, then, has been the guiding principle for the book. We set out to update these open access translations, providing clear introductions that situate each text according to time, place, and genre, and organizing them into thematic chapters. We have adapted all translations that are more than forty years old for readability, while maintaining the integrity of the text and its faithfulness to the original languages.

Additionally, while there are thousands of primary source images related to Ancient Greek and Roman mythology available online, they are generally uncontextualized and scattered across multiple platforms, including museum databases, open access media collections, and popular webpages. We collected and organized these images, situating them within their respective chapters and providing necessary context for identification and interpretation.

The anthology contains more than 80 primary source texts from 35 authors, along with hyperlinks to online translations of many more. It has more than 600 high-resolution images of artwork from ancient Greece and Rome. In crafting the book, we have followed best practices for Universal Design for Learning. All images come with captions, descriptions and alternate text, for those that are unable to view them. There are over 500 glossary entries that are accessible either through links within each of the primary texts, or through the glossary section at the back of the book.

The book contains 43 chapters, organized into 7 parts, starting from the myths of creation and destruction, and going through the aftermath of the Trojan War. The sixth chapter focuses specifically on mythology unique to Ancient Rome, and the seventh chapter focuses on the mythology and archaeology of cities and spaces. We have also included mythology from Mesopotamia and the Levant in two chapters, "Aphrodite" and "Flood Myths." We hope that these chapters will give instructors and students the opportunity to explore some of the ways in which ancient Greek and Roman myth is connected to earlier mythology from ancient West Asia.

Health Case Studies

description:
Health Case Studies is composed of eight separate health case studies. Each case study includes the patient narrative or story that models the best practice (at the time of publishing) in healthcare settings. Associated with each case is a set of specific learning objectives to support learning and facilitate educational strategies and evaluation.

The case studies can be used online in a learning management system, in a classroom discussion, in a printed course pack or as part of a textbook created by the instructor. This flexibility is intentional and allows the educator to choose how best to convey the concepts presented in each case to the learner.

Because these case studies were primarily developed for an electronic healthcare system, they are based predominantly in an acute healthcare setting. Educators can augment each case study to include primary healthcare settings, outpatient clinics, assisted living environments, and other contexts as relevant.

description: The goal of this textbook is not to make you an expert. True expertise in any field is a years-long endeavor. Here I will survey some of the basic topics of chemistry. This survey should give you enough knowledge to appreciate the impact of chemistry in everyday life and, if necessary, prepare you for additional instruction in chemistry. Throughout each chapter, I present two features that reinforce the theme of the textbook—that chemistry is all around you. The first is a feature titled, appropriately, “Chemistry Is Everywhere.” Chemistry Is Everywhere” focuses on the personal hygiene products that you may use every morning: toothpaste, soap, and shampoo, among others. These products are chemicals, aren’t they? Ever wonder about the chemical reactions that they undergo to give you clean and healthy teeth or shiny hair? I will explore some of these chemical reactions in future chapters. But this feature makes it clear that chemistry is, indeed, everywhere. The other feature focuses on chemistry that you likely indulge in every day: eating and drinking. In the “Food and Drink App,” I discuss how the chemistry of the chapter applies to things that you eat and drink every day. Carbonated beverages depend on the behavior of gases, foods contain acids and bases, and we actually eat certain rocks. (Can you guess which rocks without looking ahead?) Cooking, eating, drinking, and metabolism—we are involved with all these chemical processes all the time. These two features allow us to see the things we interact with every day in a new light—as chemistry.

description:
A core introductory sociology textbook that solves the three most common obstacles that both students and instructors struggle with:

  1. Students Do Not Read the Book: In an entertaining contrast to a typical "boring" textbook, this text is written in a storytelling style of narrative prose that injects irony and humor to engage students that they enjoy:

  * "I really loved reading the chapter. I am not a reader, but I did continue reading the whole thing."
  * "It felt like a friend talking to me. I love how the book is being narrated."
  * "This did not seem like I am reading a book, it was like someone is telling me a story about what sociology is."
  * "And most of the sentences were friendly talking to me, not letting me read the whole chapter alone."

By increasing the readability of the text, students come to class more prepared, and instructors can spend more time exploring the content with students rather than explaining the content.

  2. Students Do Not Understand the Book: The book is intentionally crafted around universal design principles. Universal design benefits everyone as it removes the need for accommodation and, thus, additional time from instructors. The textbook is globally accessible to allstudents regardless of their cultural background or diversity of ability. This non-Eurocentric core textbook dramatically reduces the confusion and burdens on students and instructors compared to a country or culturally-specific book. This is done by removing the barrier of "Cultural Overtime." It refers to the additional work international students must perform to acquire the same cultural background information that domestic students already have the privilege of being socialized in. Lastly, because of its simplified writing style using everyday terminology, it communicates sociological jargon so that it can be absorbed without students resorting to dictionaries, internet help, tutors, or instructors to grasp its meaning.

Students Do Not "Get" Sociology: The textbook (The Human-Shaped Structure: An Introduction to Sociology) brands the study of the discipline within the broader social sciences (that study, the larger human-shaped world) and seamlessly maps onto standard curricula in introductory sociology courses (e.g., SOCI 100). Throughout the book, students learn to think sociologically and understand their role and place within the human-shaped world.

Understanding Media and Culture: An Introduction to Mass Communication is adapted from a work produced by a publisher who has requested that they and the original author not receive attribution. This adapted edition is produced by the University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing through the eLearning Support Initiative. Though the publisher has requested that they and the original author not receive attribution, this adapted edition reproduces all original text and sections of the book, except for publisher and author name attribution.

According to the author, the world did not need another introductory text in mass communication. But the world did need another kind of introductory text in mass communication, and that is how Understanding Media and Culture: An Introduction to Mass Communication was birthed.

The only question was: What would be the purpose of another introductory mass communication text?

Understanding Media and Culture: An Introduction to Mass Communication was written to squarely emphasize media technology. Jack believes that an introduction to mass communication text should be a compelling, historical narrative sketching the *ongoing evolution* of media technology and how that technology shapes and is shaped by culture — and that is what he set out to deliver with his new textbook.

Today’s students are immersed in media technology. They live in a world of cell phones, smart phones, video games, iPods, laptops, Facebook, Twitter, FourSquare, and more. They fully expect that new technology will be developed tomorrow. Yet students often lack an historical perspective on media technology. They lack knowledge of the social, political and economic forces that shape media technology. This is not knowledge for knowledge’s sake. It is knowledge that can help them understand, comprehend, appreciate, anticipate, shape and control media technology.

With this focus, Understanding Media and Culture becomes an appropriate title. Indeed, the title has particular significance. Marshall McLuhan’s Understanding Media is a key text in media studies. Written in the 1960s, Understanding Media was the subject of intense debates that continue to this day. Its central message was that the technology of media — not their content — was their most important feature. In a typically pithy phrase, McLuhan said, ”The medium is the message.“ The title, Understanding Media and Culture: An Introduction to Mass Communication, situates the introductory text in a large, engrossing theoretical conversation.

The goal is to adopt a textbook that will support and complement your teaching of this course. Understanding Media and Culture: An Introduction to Mass Communication, will support an engaging and interesting course experience for students that will not only show them the powerful social, political and economic forces will affect the future of media technology, but will challenge students to do their part in shaping that future.

This resource is meant to provide advice and resources for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) instructors on how to ‘get started’ when working to incorporate Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and doing into their curriculum and practices as a means to create safer learning environments for Indigenous students. It may also be useful for people facilitating these types of conversations in STEM departments and contexts or by anyone who may be interested in the subject. The idea to create this resource emerged from a Skylight Development Grant project that aimed to curate and create resources and professional development opportunities for UBC Science faculty members around Goal 4 of the UBC Indigenous Strategic Plan (ISP), Indigenizing Our Curriculum. When working on the project, we realized the need for a foundational resource that addresses the emergent and commonly asked questions that non-Indigenous STEM folks often pose in regard to their learning and engagement with Indigenous rights, histories, experiences, and ways of knowing, being, and doing.

We see this as a living, conversational resource to be updated over time as new questions, relationships, and resources form. The responses to the questions are informed by our conversations with Indigenous students, faculty, and staff in UBC Science, the CTLT Indigenous Initiatives team, and our colleagues in Skylight. We have organized the document into five main themes related to Western and Indigenous ways of knowing in STEM, one’s personal journey, language, land acknowledgements, and emotion and relationality. As much as possible, we have provided links and information from UBC, British Columbian, and Canadian-based resources to help people further enrich and expand their knowledge. We do not consider this a ‘clean’ or ‘perfect’ document, but one that shares perspectives, experiences, thoughts, and resources to help folks navigate these complex and nuanced topics. Creating curriculum and practices that elevate and acknowledge diverse ways of knowing and that are centered around respect, reciprocity, and relationality are not only important for Indigenous students’ learning and experiences, but for everyone.

Introduction to Sociology adheres to the scope and sequence of a typical introductory sociology course. In addition to comprehensive coverage of core concepts, foundational scholars, and emerging theories, we have incorporated section reviews with engaging questions, discussions that help students apply the sociological imagination, and features that draw learners into the discipline in meaningful ways. Although this text can be modified and reorganized to suit your needs, the standard version is organized so that topics are introduced conceptually, with relevant, everyday experiences.

For the student, this book is based on the teaching and research experience of numerous sociologists. In today’s global socially networked world, the topic of Sociology is more relevant than ever before. We hope that through this book, students will learn how simple, everyday human actions and interactions can change the world. In this book, you will find applications of Sociology concepts that are relevant, current, and balanced.

For instructors, this text is intended for a one-semester introductory course and includes these features:

  * Sociological Research: Highlights specific current and relevant research studies.
  * Sociology in the Real World: Ties chapter content to student life and discusses sociology in terms of the everyday.
  * Big Picture: Features present sociological concepts at a national or international level.
  * Case Study: Describes real-life people whose experiences relate to chapter content.
  * Social Policy and Debate: Discusses political issues that relate to chapter content.
  * Section Summaries distill the information in each section for both students and instructors down to key, concise points addressed in the section.
  * Key Terms are bold and are followed by a definition in context. Definitions of key terms are also listed in the Key Terms, which appears at the end of each chapter.
  * Section Quizzes provide opportunities to apply and test the information students learn throughout each section. Both multiple-choice and short-response questions feature a variety of question types and range of difficulty.
  * Further Research: This feature helps students further explore the section topic and offers related research topics that could be explored.

description:
This book is designed to help students organize their thinking about psychology at a conceptual level. The focus on behaviour and empiricism has produced a text that is better organized, has fewer chapters, and is somewhat shorter than many of the leading books. The beginning of each section includes learning objectives; throughout the body of each section are key terms in bold followed by their definitions in italics; key takeaways, and exercises and critical thinking activities end each section.

To facilitate learning outcomes, three techniques have been used:

  1. Chapter openers.The focus on behaviour begins each chapter with an opener showcasing an interesting real-world example of people who are dealing with behavioural questions and who can use psychology to help them answer those questions. The opener is designed to draw the student into the chapter and create an interest in learning about the topic.
  2. Psychology in everyday life.Each chapter contains one or two features designed to link the principles from the chapter to real-world applications in business, environment, health, law, learning, and other relevant domains. For instance, the application in Chapter 7 "Growing and Developing" — “What Makes a Good Parent?” — applies the concepts of parenting styles in a mini handbook about parenting, and the application in Chapter 4, "Brains, Bodies, and Behaviour," is about the difficulties that left-handed people face performing everyday tasks in a right-handed world.
  3. Research focus.Empiricism is also emphasized throughout, but without making it a distraction from the main story line. Each chapter presents one or more close-ups on research — well-articulated and specific examples of research within the content area, each including a summary of the hypotheses, methods, results, and interpretations. This feature provides a continuous thread that reminds students of the importance of empirical research. The research foci also emphasize the fact that findings are not always predictable ahead of time (dispelling the myth of hindsight bias) and help students understand how research really works.

In short, the authors have attempted to bring psychology to life in ways that really matter to students while, at the same time, maintaining content and conceptual rigor, with a strong focus on the fundamental principles of empiricism and the scientific method.

description:
“Speaking and writing… form a complementarity of state, in the sense of different states of matter as solid, liquid and gas — except that here we are concerned with different states of meaning” (Halliday, 2008: Complementarities in Language).

This online textbook combines the perspectives of physics, which is concerned with matter, and language, which is concerned with meaning. By exploring what we know about matter through physics with what we know about meaning through language, this textbook aims to help you solve first-year physics problems and communicate your problem-solving choices more consciously and effectively. From the view of physics, the textbook units present physics problems linked to concepts typically taught in first year physics courses, focusing on the various physics and language competencies you need to solve problems in spoken dialogue and in writing. By exploring the opportunities and challenges presented in first-year physics problems, this textbook aims to help you understand and develop your own problem-solving competencies.

A language perspective on learning first-year physics

The perspective of language complements the learning in physics because language systems are a key resource for thinking through and solving physics word problems. The language used in solving physics problems tends to form identifiable patterns, implying that some language choices are more effective than others in completing specific problem-related tasks. Working through this textbook, you will observe the systems of language choices available for solving physics problems and develop capacities to use language more mindfully and effectively in your physics work.

Physics knowledge is produced, exchanged, and assessed in two main forms in first year courses, in speech and writing. In each textbook unit, a problem is introduced that requires application of one or more focal physics concepts, exploring spoken and written solutions to this problem. Each unit also focuses on a specific function or sub-function of language, such as how concepts are represented or how solutions are organized, which is illustrated and explained in both spoken and written modes of communicating physics.

Across the 14 units, the textbook describes and explains the functional scope of the English language in shaping valued physics knowledge. For example, we explore the use of particular functional structures of English that physicists typically use when a problem requires us to re-interpret the concrete, physical world in terms of abstract concepts, such as when modelling a running person (concrete) as a point mass (concept).

The language perspective helps us answer questions such as these:

  1. What are the functions of language in solving physics problems?
  2. How does language help us to shift perspectives between a problem’s dynamic, physical situation and the stable, theoretical concepts involved?
  3. What are the roles of visual figures and mathematical symbolism relative to language in solving physics problems?
  4. What language choices are involved in effectively solving a physics problem in group dialogue and how do these choices change when writing a formal solution?
  5. Can we distinguish between reporting and explaining our solution? If so, how?
  6. What does it mean for a solution to be effectively communicated?

The knowledge and experiences you build in this course about the role of language in physics will help you to meet your expectations for solving physics problems and those of your peers and instructors. This aim is achieved in combination with the increased awareness and development of your competencies in solving physics problems. The guiding aim of this textbook is for you to apply the knowledge and experiences you gain towards your personal and professional development according to your interests in physics and science.

The organization of the textbook

The roles of language in solving physics problems are explored in increasing detail across the textbook units. Unit 1 provides the foundational perspectives on physics and language. The focus for learning is on strategies for solving word problems and the units and scales of language use in communicating the solutions.

Units 2 to 14 focus on physics concepts typically covered in first year, from motion along a straight line to fluid dynamics. Each unit introduces a problem developed to apply the unit’s focal concept and explores with you the solutions to these in spoken and written forms. A second problem is then introduced in the unit as an opportunity to apply, assess, and reflect on what you’ve learned.

The textbook aims to engage you both in its content and its organization. Each unit progresses through a series of tasks designed to build understanding through practical application. To progress from one unit to the next, you must complete one stage of a 12-stage game through a device that tests a key physics concept introduced in the previous unit.

Ways to use the textbook

The focus of this textbook is on improving your use of language, problem-solving strategies, and physics concepts in solving problems. As such, this book is not intended to replace a physics first-year textbook. Rather, this textbook is designed to be used in combination with a standard first-year physics textbook or course, where the methods and concepts are covered in detail.

This textbook is designed for first-year Science or Applied Science programs, where it would be used in (1) the tutorial section of the physics course focusing on problem-solving competencies and communicating solutions or in (2) a linked content-and-language syllabus such as an English for First-Year Physics course. This textbook will also find good use in (3) advanced placement high-school science programs, (4) pre-sessional university preparation programs, and (5) refresher courses for first-year physics. The book was designed especially for multilingual students of physics; however, it is expected to interest any physics enthusiasts with an interest in explicit understanding and extended practice of the language of physics.

The course is designed to be used in self-guided learning, peer study groups, or instructor-led classes. Whatever approach you take, learning through this textbook happens through your active engagement with the tasks. The task-based design involves a cycle of pre-task preparation, task activity, and post-task checking of responses and reflection. The post-task checking of your responses is crucial as this is typically where the effectiveness of your task performance is explained, that is, where the teaching emerges in dialogue with your input.

This course also includes optional features for deeper engagement and community-building around the language of solving physics problems. Chief among these features is the sharing of physics problems and solutions produced by you, the textbook users. As a user of the online textbook, you are invited to submit your solutions to the collection and compare these in terms of language features against our analyses of how language is used across all submissions. Users are also encouraged to design and share unique problems that reflect their particular interests and curiosities within and beyond physics. As the collection grows, so will the analyses, opportunities for engagement, and the learning community.

HIST 204 Abridged Course Text

description:
This textbook introduces aspects of the history of Canada since Confederation. “Canada” in this context includes Newfoundland and all the other parts that come to be aggregated into the Dominion after 1867. Much of this text follows thematic lines. Each chapter moves chronologically but with alternative narratives in mind. What Aboriginal accounts must we place in the foreground? Which structures (economic or social) determine the range of choices available to human agents of history? What environmental questions need to be raised to gain a more complete understanding of choices made in the past and their ramifications?

Each chapter is comprised of several sections and some of those are further divided. In many instances you will encounter original material that has been contributed by other university historians from across Canada who are leaders in their respective fields. They provide a diversity of voices on the subject of the nation’s history and, thus, an opportunity to experience some of the complexities of understanding and approaching the past. Canadian History: Post-Confederation includes Learning Objectives and Key Points in most chapter sections, intended to help identify issues of over-arching importance. Recent interviews with historians from across Canada have been captured in video clips that are embedded throughout the web version of the book. At the end of each chapter, the Summary section includes additional features: Key Terms, Short Answer Exercises, and Suggested Readings. The key terms are bolded in the text, and collected in a Glossary in the appendix.

This adapted edition is produced by the University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing through the eLearning Support Initiative.

Organizational Behavior bridges the gap between theory and practice with a distinct ”experiential“ approach.

On average, a worker in the USA will change jobs 10 times in 20 years. In order to succeed in this type of career situation, individuals need to be armed with the tools necessary to be life-long learners. To that end, this book is not be about giving students all the answers to every situation they may encounter when they start their first job or as they continue up the career ladder. Instead, this book gives students the vocabulary, framework, and critical thinking skills necessary to diagnose situations, ask tough questions, evaluate the answers received, and to act in an effective and ethical manner regardless of situational characteristics.

Often, students taking OB either do not understand how important knowledge of OB can be to their professional careers, or they DO understand and they want to put that knowledge into practice. Organizational Behavior takes a more experiential angle to the material to meet both of those needs. The experiential approach can be incorporated in the classroom primarily through the ”OB Toolbox.“ This feature brings life to the concepts and allows students to not only see how the OB theories unfold, but to practice them, as well.

OER Toolkit for Trades Instructors

description:
Adopting an Open Education Resource & Integrating it into a Trades Course: OER Toolkit for Trades Instructors shows a snapshot of the OER adoption process. This Toolkit is designed to answer questions posed by BC Trades instructors specifically, but the steps described will also support similar projects in other disciplines and programs. The Toolkit is presented in the form of a (possible) case study, which is based on questions and issues shared by Trades instructors from three BC post-secondary institutions: Camosun College, Kwantlen Polytechnic University, and University of the Fraser Valley.

OER Toolkit for Trades Instructors includes a quick reference guide of definitions, summary of a sample course, a step-by-step guide to implementing course revisions and OER adoption, links to external resources, a sample module and a range of best practice examples.

Following three phases of an adoption process (Phase - Take stock; Phase 2 - Make a plan; Phase 3 - Adopt and evaluate), the Toolkit also explores the motivation of the user and why instructors adopt OERs.

Pathology

description:
This multimedia resource is intended to 'bridge the gap' between normal anatomy and pathology texts and clinically-oriented resources. This resource is intended to provide the science behind the disease that a health care professional is managing and an explanation of the signs and symptoms a patient is experiencing. Each disease begins with a review of normal anatomy, histology and physiology - followed by the changes the disease has on the tissue (histopathology or anatomic pathology), organ (gross pathology), and function (pathophysiology). Videos and photos of gross pathological specimens & histological slides are included in every topic, with videolessons guiding viewers on the observable pathological changes.

Because working with patients in their health journey is a team affair, this resource highlights the interprofessional collaboration that occurs between health care providers.

This is a textbook for life science students. It is calculus based. The author, Jennifer Kirkey, used material from a variety of Open Stax books.

College Physics is organized such that topics are introduced conceptually with a steady progression to precise definitions and analytical applications. The analytical aspect (problem solving) is tied back to the conceptual before moving on to another topic. Each introductory chapter, for example, opens with an engaging photograph relevant to the subject of the chapter and interesting applications that are easy for most students to visualize.

Psychology - 1st Canadian Edition

description:
This book is designed to introduce students to psychology. It is an approachable, comprehensive overview of the main perspectives and sub-fields, with a focus on the science of psychology. There is an explicitly Canadian perspective, and the book incorporates open access material from other experts. Readers are also shown how to approach learning about psychology while being given the content.

The textbook chapters contain:

  1. Chapter openers — These showcase an interesting real-world example of the material in each chapter and create an interest in learning about the topic.
  2. Psychology in everyday life — These features are designed to link the principles from the chapter to real-world applications in business, environment, health, law, learning, and other relevant domains.
  3. Research focus — These are well-articulated and specific examples of research within the content area, each including a summary of the hypotheses, methods, results, and interpretations. This feature provides a continuous thread that reminds students of the importance of empirical research and also emphasizes the fact that findings are not always predictable ahead of time (dispelling the myth of hindsight bias).

In addition, to help students organize the material, chapters contain learning objectives, key takeaways, and exercises and critical thinking activities.

Students are shown what techniques are likely to help them be successful in meeting their learning goals. Strategies for successful reading, active learning, and note-taking are provided.

description:
This book argues that the best way to understand the stories of the Old and New Testaments is to consider them as human stories with sophisticated narrative techniques at play. God is a character in these stories from the beginning, and considering god as a character in a narrative proves fruitful in responding to the human voices of these stories.

Although many readers go to the Bible to find the revealed word of Yahweh or of the Christian God, what they find there is always an interpretation of the text through the filters of a religious dogma which exists prior to the reading of the text. Reading the Bible suggests another way of reading the texts, a way of reading which concentrates not on "what does it mean?" but on "what does it say?" and "what do I see there?" The result is a fresh approach to the reading of these biblical texts, an approach which celebrates human storytelling while investigating myth, language, and the act of reading a text.

description:
Our lives in today's world are laden with a multitude of stressors, and our capacity to “deal with the stress” can change in a moment. The ramifications of persistent stress are insidious, and they can wreak havoc on our health and well-being.

Drawing from evidence founded in peer-reviewed research, The Stress Survival Guide empowers you to: Recognize what stress really is and how it plays a powerful role in the onset of chronic illness; Reduce chronic stress by learning how to gain resiliency through integrating self-care into your daily life; and Prevent chronic stress by discovering actionable Self-Care techniques that are based upon the 8 Dimensions of Wellness.

We can’t avoid things that are out of our control that stress us out, but we can change our response to them. We can reboot our resiliency by cultivating a mindset to be our own health advocates by way of engaging in self-care practices so we don’t sacrifice our health and joy. With multimedia engagement such as reflection prompts to deepen our understanding of ourselves, videos, self-questionnaires, and much more to explore, whatever self-care means to you, you’ll find your own personal practice in this book.

NERDCAT

description: Welcome to NERDCAT: A Clinician’s Guide to Appraising Randomized Controlled Trials and Systematic Reviews/Meta-Analyses. Led by Dr. Ricky Turgeon, NERDCAT was designed to help clinicians make sense of clinical research and has two core components: (1) The NERDCAT appraisal checklists, which facilitate the systematic appraisal of clinical studies; and (2) detailed guidance on how to address the NERDCAT appraisal checklist questions, along with rationales, supporting empiric evidence where available, and examples. While tools like CONSORT and PRISMA are aimed at researchers to facilitate adequate reporting of key details of their randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews, NERDCAT appraisal checklists are written “for clinicians, by clinicians” explicitly for the purpose of appraising clinical evidence and applying it to practice.
