WINNER OF THE HUGO AWARD FOR BEST ALL-TIME SERIES The Foundation series is Isaac Asimov's iconic masterpiece. Unfolding against the backdrop of a crumbling Galactic Empire, the story of Hari Seldon's two Foundations is a lasting testament to an extraordinary imagination, one whose unprecedented scale shaped science fiction as we know it today. In a time before the Foundations, psychohistory's creator Hari Seldon is made to stand before the Emperor of the crumbling Galactic Empire to present how his scientific theory of predicting the future might be applied to the real world. However, Hari refuses to deploy his theory for political gain, setting off instead with reporter Chetter Hummin in quest of a place to safely apply his theory: Earth, the original home of humanity. All records of Earth have been lost to time. Hari will therefore have to look back into the past, in order to seal the future of humanity for ever.

The most comprehensive and practical guide to understanding and applying the science of reading to improve literacy instruction. After effectively teaching phonics in the early grades, what does the science of reading tell us should happen in literacy classes? The Teach Like a Champion Guide to the Science of Reading by Doug Lemov, Erica Woolway, and Colleen Driggs, addresses the pressing challenges educators face in effectively incorporating the Science of Reading into their instruction once students already know how to decode. By offering actionable guidance grounded in seven evidence-based principles, this book helps teachers elevate their instructional practices and better prepare students to be lifelong readers and thinkers. Grounded in proven classroom instruction, the book focuses on techniques that can allow teachers to use the science as effectively and actionably as possible. The Teach Like a Champion Guide to the Science of Reading is enhanced with more than 50 video clips from the classroom and covers ways to practically apply the Science of Reading.

Je tomu už více než sedmdesát let od doby, kdy velmistr SF žánru Isaac Asimov začal budovat vesmír svého celosvětově úspěšného cyklu Nadace. Od té doby se miliony čtenářů nechaly fascinovat poutavým příběhem, jenž přesáhl tisíce let budoucího vývoje lidstva a zavedl je na desítky cizích světů. Román A zrodí se Nadace byl dokončen těsně před autorovou smrtí jako sedmá, závěrečná část románové ságy, která získala věhlasnou žánrovou cenu Hugo jako Nejlepší science fi ction série všech dob. V předchozích svazcích byl Hari Seldon, geniální zakladatel Nadace, pouhou historickou postavou. Návratem do dob jeho života vyplnil Asimov důležitou chybějící část svého epického příběhu. Autor se netajil tím, že postavu Hariho Seldona vytvořil jako vlastní alter ego, a tak je román ještě dojemnější tím, že v něm Asimov Seldonovou smrtí uzavřel celý cyklus jen krátce před svou vlastní. Vstupme tedy posedmé a naposledy do světa Nadace a poznejme dosud utajované skutečnosti nadaného matematika, jenž se snažil zachránit lidstvo před neodvolatelně se blížící dobou temna.

Teaching science is no simple task. Science teachers must wrestle with highly abstract and demanding concepts, ideas which have taken humanity''s greatest minds thousands of years to formulate and refine. Communicating these great and awesome theories involves careful forethought and planning. We need to deliver crystal clear explanations, guide students as they develop their embryonic knowledge and then release them to develop their thinking independently, all the while curating and tending to their long-term understanding as it develops over time.In Teaching Secondary Science: A Complete Guide, Adam breaks down the complex art of teaching science into its component parts, providing a concrete and comprehensive set of evidence-informed steps to nurturing brilliant science students. Adam hopes that you find this book interesting, but his main aim is for you to find it useful.

It is the story of the Galactic Empire, crumbling after twelve thousand years of rule. And it is the particular story of psycho-historian Hari Seldon, the only man who can see the horrors the future has in store: a dark age of ignorance, barbarism and violence that will last for thirty thousand years. Gathering together a band of courageous men and women, Seldon leads them to a hidden location at the edge of the galaxy where he hopes they can preserve human knowledge and wisdom against all who would destroy them.Asimov went on to add numerous sequels and prequels to the trilogy, building up what has become known as the Foundation series, but it is the original three books, first published in the Forties and Fifties, which remain the most powerful, imaginative and breathtaking.
