Описание: A SYSTEMATIC GUIDE TO GAME-BASED LEARNING (GBL) IN ORGANIZATIONAL TEAMS Systematic Guides are aimed at leaders and managers who need to instantly access 'Organization-Ready' models, practices, checklists and guidance in key subject areas which are logically organized and based on best practice.This guide offers a comprehensive and pragmatic framework for achieving transformational learning and behavior change in groups of leaders/managers using Game-Based Learning (GBL) in organizations of all shapes and sizes."This book will help HR and Learning professionals who need clear guidance and case studies to support their own work as they exploit team-focused game-based learning. It provides a deep analysis and clear guidance to help practitioners develop effective social game-based learning solutions." CHARLES JENNINGS, Co-founder of the 70:20:10 Institute"This text is one of the "bibles" for the merging discipline of gamification, serious games, and simulations. It should be prominently displayed upon your bookshelf. The Appendices alone are worth the price of the text." MICHAEL SUTTON, Chief Gamification Officer at FUNIFICATION LLC and purveyor of sims and serious games within immersive learning environments."Some writers 'show off' their knowledge/skills. Ken does not do this as his knowledge/skills in these areas are first class and the style/content speak for themselves".ALAN ANDERSON, Vice Principal, Cambridge Flexible Learning"While there are many books on game design and adult learning, I would place this short book at the top of the list for anyone interested in game-based learning (GBL)."DR. ROSS WIRTH, Professor and online course developer
Описание: For many people, the story of Charles Darwin goes like this: he ventured to the Galapagos Islands on the Beagle, was inspired by the biodiversity of the birds he saw there, and immediately returned home to write his theory of evolution. But this simplified narrative is inaccurate and lacking: it leaves out a major part of Darwin's legacy. He published On the Origin of Species nearly thirty years after his voyages. And much of his life was spent experimenting with and observing plants.
Darwin was a brilliant and revolutionary botanist whose observations and theories were far ahead of his time. With Darwin's Most Wonderful Plants, biologist and gardening expert Ken Thompson restores this important aspect of Darwin's biography while also delighting in the botanical world that captivated the famous scientist. Thompson traces how well Darwin's discoveries have held up, revealing that many are remarkably long-lasting. Some findings are only now being confirmed and extended by high-tech modern research, while some have been corrected through recent analysis.
We learn from Thompson how Darwin used plants to shape his most famous theory and then later how he used that theory to further push the boundaries of botanical knowledge. We also get to look over Darwin's shoulder as he labors, learning more about his approach to research and his astonishing capacity for hard work. Darwin's genius was to see the wonder and the significance in the ordinary and mundane, in the things that most people wouldn't look at twice. Both Thompson and Darwin share a love for our most wonderful plants and the remarkable secrets they can unlock. This book will instill that same joy in casual gardeners and botany aficionados alike.
