Free Download Human-centred Economics: The Living Standards of Nations
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031374347 | 350 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 15 MB
This open access book examines the chronic underperformance of economies with respect to inclusion, sustainability and resilience. It finds that the standard liberal economic growth and development model has evolved over the past century in a fundamentally unbalanced manner that underemphasizes the crucial role of institutions – legal norms, policy incentives and public administrative capacities – in translating market-based growth in the production of goods and services into broad and sustainable gains in social welfare at the household level. Correcting this imbalance of emphasis in economic theory and policy between markets and institutions, production and distribution, and national income and household living standards is the single most important step required to transcend 20th century trickle-down "neoliberalism" and replace it with a more human-centred model of economic progress in the 21st century.

Free Download Ian Sumner, Richard Hook, "British Colours & Standards 1747-1881 (2): Infantry"
English | 2001 | pages: 67 | ISBN: 1841762016 | PDF | 11,5 mb
In this second of a two-part sequence a respected vexillologist describes, explains and illustrates a wide variety of the King’s and Regimental colours carried during the 18th and 19th centuries by British Household, Regular, Militia and Volunteer infantry regiments. The successive regulations between 1747 and 1881 – when the carrying of colours in the field ceased – are supported by comprehensive tables of ‘ancient badges’ and battle honours; many careful drawings; and by ten dazzling plates by Richard Hook, detailing some 35 flags in full colour, as well as a number of famous colour-bearers.

Free Download AC/DC: The Savage Tale of the First Standards War by Tom McNichol, Malcolm Hillgartner, Blackstone Audio, Inc.
English | 2008 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B00196OF78 | MP3@64 Kbps | Duration: 6:28 h | 179 Mb
Long before there was VHS versus Betamax, Windows versus Macintosh, or Blu-Ray versus HD-DVD, the first and nastiest standards war was fought over how electricity would be transmitted around the world: alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). The savage showdown between AC and DC changed the lives of billions of people, shaped the modern technological age, and set the stage for all standards wars to follow.
AC/DC tells the little-known story of how Thomas Edison bet wrong in that war, eventually losing control over the "operating system" for his future inventions – not to mention the company he founded, which would later become General Electric. Today’s Digital Age wizards can take lessons from Edison’s fierce battle: control an invention’s technical standard and you control the market

Free Download David Cole, "Enemy Aliens: Double Standards and Constitutional Freedoms in the War on Terrorism"
English | 2003 | pages: 331 | ISBN: 1565848004, 1565849388 | PDF | 4,9 mb
When David Cole was first writing Enemy Aliens, in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, the anti-immigrant brand of American patriotism was at a fever pitch. Now, as the pendulum swings back, and court after court finds the Bush administration’s tactics of secrecy and assumption of guilt unconstitutional, Cole’s book stands as a prescient and critical indictment of the double standards we have applied in the war on terror.

Get past the knowing-doing gap and confidently implement standards-based learning. This book offers a comprehensive look at what standards-based learning looks like in action, from creating formative assessments to using data to inform instruction to transitioning to standards-based grading systems. Instead of comparing students to each other, standards-based learning compares students’ proficiency levels to performance standards and learning targets.
