This book’s unique approach uses stories of science in real-world classrooms to demonstrate important science content and strategies in action. Following each story, you’ll have the opportunity to reflect on the connections to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and to the teaching and disciplinary ideas behind the story.

Corona, Klimakrise, Krieg: Die Zeit der Sicherheit ist vorbei, die Wohlfühlgesellschaft, die sich in den letzten 30 Jahren etabliert hat, ist Vergangenheit. Angst, Irrationalität und Abwehr bestimmen einen Teil unserer Debattenkultur. Viele Menschen haben nicht ausreichend gelernt, mit Furcht umzugehen und gesellschaftspolitische Krisen durch eine konstruktive Streitkultur zu bewältigen. Das muss nun nachgeholt werden. Werden wir in diesem Jahrzehnt nicht aktiv, könnten Deutschland und Europa zu Entwicklungsländern werden.

I have laughed, cried and talked things over in my head while reading Hemming’s extraordinary collection of Scatterlings. She carefully treads through the complex nature of our beloved land, and the mixed-up feelings so many expats feel. She puts into words emotions that come from deep within and journeys through the profound effects of saying goodbye to one’s home. Full of hope and appreciation for our new lands, Scattlerings is a therapeutic journey for anyone smart enough to read it. Eloquent and poetic, yet real and useful . . . Remarkable how someone else’s story can be so healing. -Kerry Engelbrecht

As prime minister, Winston Churchill ordered the preparation of an imperial strategy to balkanize India and tighten Britain s post-war hold over her. The strategy envisaged two Pakistans, one in the west and the other in the east. Within the borders, India was to be balkanized with the creation of independent confederations of princely states. In keeping with this strategy, Lord Louis Mountbatten was given the mandate to transfer power and quit India. However, Churchill s imperial plans were foiled by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, who insisted on the partition of Punjab and Bengal as well as a free hand in reaching a settlement with the princes. This enabled Patel to integrate over 560 princely states in a period of about eighteen months and helped him create a united India. This book examines the extraordinary contribution of Sardar Patel to the Indian freedom struggle and his farsighted and courageous approach in building a strong, integrated India.
