Constructing Meanings: Pedagogies for Literacies K-8 7th Edition
Author: Rachel Heydon
ISBN: 9781774128428
Book Cover Type:
Constructing Meanings: Teaching the Language Arts K-8 is more than an update of previous editions. It reflects contemporary multilingual/multicultural Canadian classroom contexts and, very importantly, Canadians’ finally-awakened consciousness of the need to disrupt the devastating effects on Indigenous peoples of Canadian settler-colonial policies and practices. Digital literacies are treated as the commonplace practices they have become in today’s world. Websites and apps are recommended and analyzed alongside bilingual picture books and professional teaching resources. Using leading-edge contemporary research and seminal studies of previous decades, co-authors Rachel Heydon (Western University), Marianne McTavish (University of British Columbia), and Joyce Bainbridge (University of Alberta) reflect on their experiences as teachers/teacher-educators/researchers and include vignettes of practicing teachers in Canadian classrooms. Very importantly, the authors make explicit connections between the topics taken up in each chapter, clearly showing the interconnections between literacy dimensions and the need to recognize these connections in classroom teaching. Text-to-self questions stimulating thoughtful reflections on literacy teaching and learning are among the many features of Constructing Meanings that embody the spirit of readers and authors constructing meaning together.

30 Days of Creativity: Draw, Colour and Discover Your Creative Self
Philosophycally written and well researched book about most mysterious subject in neuro science
My interest in data science, machine learning and AI brought me to Pak Manifesto's website. This is a great book (and although I haven't read all of it) it basically underlines the importance of having a deep intuitive understanding of probability and being able to glean information from minute details in order to fine-tune one's predictions (about anything). The data on which such predictions are based, it quantity, breadth, depth and quality are all important, as is the broader canvas of knowledge surrounding the problem at hand.
My pleasure in purchasing this book was doubled for two reasons. I got to know Mr. Riaz, the owner of Pak Manifesto who is a gentleman to the core, always keen to support his customers and provide them with the best experience. And secondly, when I received the book vide TCS, I found out that its a Penguin original paperback with superb quality paper and illustrations (though not in colour, just black, grey and white).
This book is a must read for any statistics and/or data science student or even a professional. Highly recommended from my side!
