One man’s fate is not for the faint of heart. A happy James lives in a tranquil town under the caring guidance of his stepmother. Thriving within the only world he’s ever known, his life is shattered after he’s accused of something that he can’t understand, much less deny. Suddenly, he’s thrust into an awe-inspiring place where mystical creatures—and his true destiny—reside. As James uncovers a brutal betrayal by those closest to him, he must also navigate mysterious prophecies and family legacies that force him to question everything. Alongside a cast of eccentric characters, he confronts powerful entities beyond his wildest imagination. But with more questions than answers and a mystery that teeters on horror, can James prove his innocence once all is revealed? And more importantly: Does he want to? This epic first-in-series fantasy will have readers on the edge of their seats in a world where everything is possible.
In this book you will learn how gamification can create lessons that truly engage students, challenging them to solve problems and develop their own computational thinking. We look at the methods used in video games to create hooks, on-board students, and keep your students motivated. We also look at flow, which enables us to ensure the learning curve is neither frustratingly hard nor boringly easy, and then provide you with a complete system to create your own gamified syllabus. Gamification has become especially important during the Covid-19 crisis, where you might need to engage in distance teaching, and some teachers are reporting very low online engagement. Contrast this with my own onl...
Australia is one of the most ethnically diverse societies in the world today. From its ancient indigenous origins to British colonisation followed by waves of European then international migration in the twentieth century, the island continent is home to people from all over the globe. Each new wave of settlers has had a profound impact on Australian society and culture. The Australian People documents the dramatic history of Australian settlement and describes the rich ethnic and cultural inheritance of the nation through the contributions of its people. It is one of the largest reference works of its kind, with approximately 250 expert contributors and almost one million words. Illustrated in colour and black and white, the book is both a comprehensive encyclopedia and a survey of the controversial debates about citizenship and multiculturalism now that Australia has attained the centenary of its federation.
