Clear and compact ... It s hard to fault as a brief, easily digestible introduction to some of the biggest questions in the Universe Giles Sparrow, BBC Four s The Sky at Night, Best astronomy and space books of 2019: 5/5All the matter and light we can see in the universe makes up a trivial 5 per cent of everything. The rest is hidden. This could be the biggest puzzle that science has ever faced.Since the 1970s, astronomers have been aware that galaxies have far too little matter in them to account for the way they spin around: they should fly apart, but something concealed holds them together. That something is dark matter - invisible material in five times the quantity of the familiar stuff of stars and planets.By the 1990s we also knew that the expansion of the universe was accelerating. Something, named dark energy, is pushing it to expand faster and faster. Across the universe, this requires enough energy that the equivalent mass would be nearly fourteen times greater than all the visible material in existence.Brian Clegg explains this major conundrum in modern science and looks at how scientists are beginning to find solutions to it.

A sweeping look into interracial friendship s significance in American democracy from the founding to the present.The oppression of Blacks is America s original sin-a sin that took root in 1619 and plagues the country to this day. Yet there have been instances of interracial bonding and friendship even in the worst of times. In Stars and Shadows - a term taken from Huckleberry Finn - Saladin Ambar analyzes two centuries of noteworthy interracial friendships that served as windows into the state of race relations in the US and, more often than not, as models for advancing the cause of racial equality.Stars and Shadows is the first work in American political history to offer a comprehensive overview of how friendship has come to shape the possibilities for democratic politics in America. Covering ten cases - from Benjamin Banneker and Thomas Jefferson s ill-fated effort to navigate the limits imposed on democracy by slavery and white supremacy, to the more hopeful stories of James Baldwin and Marlon Brando as well as Angela Davis and Gloria Steinem - Ambar s study illuminates how friendship is critical to understanding the potential for multiracial democracy. Political leaders and cultural figures are frequently involved in translating private feelings, relationships, and ideas, into a public ideal. Friendships and their meaning are therefore a significant part of any effort to shape public or elite opinion.The symbolism inherent in interracial friendship has always been readily apparent, down to the powerful example of Barack Obama and Joe Biden, who were not only allied politicians, but most importantly, friends. Ambar weaves a set of interlocking stories that help create a working theory of multiracial democracy that demands more of us as citizens: a commitment to engage one another and to engage our past with even greater courage and trust. Such gestures are a vital part of the story of how race and America have been shaped. Stars and Shadows helps explain America s enduring difficulty in making friends of citizens across the color line - and why the narrative of racial friendship matters.

Komplexní digitální prostředí pro každý výukový scénář, včetně prezentačního nástroje, virtuální třídy a elektronických knih pro žáky. Disney příběhyKaždá kapitola se zaměřuje na jinou skupinu filmových postaviček Disney, což učebnicím dodává přitažlivost a udržuje obsah svěží a vzrušující. Propojení se známými postavami pomůže žákům užít si výuku a vytvořit si pozitivní vztah k učení jazyků. Pomůže jim také lépe se soustředit, déle se věnovat úkolu a lépe si zapamatovat naučené.Děti milují příběhy. Příběhy a jejich vyprávění poskytují přirozený a poutavý kontext pro výuku jazyků. Každá kapitola obsahuje dva příběhy – příběh ke sledování na videu a příběh ke čtení. Poutavé videoklipy z kouzelných filmů Disney představují témata kapitol, postavy a nový jazyk. Příběhy o partě školních kamarádů zase pomáhají upevnit nový jazyk a přinášejí řadu každodenních zkušeností, které žáci dobře znají.Přizpůsobení výuky potřebám třídyUčebnice nabízí různé možnosti a způsoby, jak projít učební látku, abyste mohli přizpůsobit svůj přístup potřebám žáků i konkrétnímu kontextu výuky. Základní materiál lze rozšířit o online moduly Phonics a Big Projects a další aktivity. Je zde také široká škála úkolů pro rozvoj různých dovedností a pro různé styly učení. Navíc aktivity pro fast finishers, podporu slabších žáků nebo tipy do výuky. To vše umožňuje učitelům vyhovět různorodým potřebám třídy.Budoucí dovednostiJedinečný učební plán Personal and Social Skills učí dovednostem, které budou žáci potřebovat k tomu, aby mohli dobře fungovat ve světě, a to jak individuálně, tak i s ostatními, a aby se stali zodpovědnými občany. Tyto dovednosti přesahují rámec školní výuky a jsou klíčové pro osobní rozvoj, sociální začlenění nebo aktivní občanství.
