Walt Disney World Hidden History Second Edition
Everyone can list their favorite former attractions at Walt Disney World. What if you could still have a glimpse of those treasured rides even today? This book will expose the remnants of previous rides and attractions still visible at Walt Disney World, including many elements that were folded into the shows and rides that replaced them. There are also numerous intentional reproductions of parts of former rides, planted as a kind of ultimate inside joke. That's not all. Interwoven with these remnants is a rich tapestry of homages throughout the Walt Disney World parks, there to pay respect to the designers, artists, and engineers who built these magical realms. These references are often hidden in plain sight, and many are given without explanation. This book will uncover so many tributes and homages, you'll forever see the Disney parks in a whole new light. Since the first edition, almost two hundred new tributes and homages have been added.
Let It Go
Frozen has been enormously popular right from its opening weekend in theaters, and its pervasiveness and influence have only grown. Why does this movie resonate so effectively with audiences? In an attempt to answer that question, this book examines the movie from multiple angles: its theme of isolation, the status of femininity, its targeting of young girls specifically, and even its appeal to the LGBT community. The book also includes the complete text of Hans Christian Andersen's Snow Queen story, which was the original inspiration for Frozen (although much of the plot is different). This unofficial book has not been authorized by the Walt Disney Company.
Ethical Considerations of Virtual Reality in the College Classroom
Ethical Considerations of Virtual Reality in the College Classroom collects case studies that address both pedagogical and ethical foundations of extended reality tools in postsecondary learning environments across disciplines. With today’s institutional programs and faculty leveraging cutting-edge virtual, augmented, and mixed reality opportunities to teach and promote achievement goals, it is imperative that new research into these technologies speaks directly to their challenges and affordances within broad academic settings. This book showcases real-world examples of faculty members who chronicle and develop their use of VR tools across learning contexts and student populations by creating their own digital experiences, adapting open-source tools, integrating commercial products, amplifying crucial course content, analyzing outcomes data, and more. Nontechnical readers will come away with a new understanding of key terms and concepts associated with virtual reality and essential heuristics for evaluating the ethical implications of immersive approaches.
Finding Your Unicorn Job for Pharmacists: Financial Freedom, Flexible Hours, and Personal Fulfillment Beyond the Pharmacy Counter

Only a Unicorn Job, one that fits my place-bound and time-bound needs perfectly, would work well for me and many others. Traditional pharmacist jobs are fundamentally incompatible or unavailable for me to be a present parent and spouse and what's available in the market might not work for you as well.

Game On!
"Following on the enormous growth and reach of computer gaming, most recently on mobile devices, and because of faculty members' desire to connect with millennials, online games have made their way into college classrooms. As part of our Tech. EDU series, this book focuses on how games are being used in college and what that might say for higher education today.
