: The Big Fat Notebooks are going to high school Published just four years ago, the Big Fat Notebooks--with nearly 4.6 million copies in print and sales escalating every year--revolutionized the study guide for middle schoolers. Now this lifesaving series is ready to graduate. Announcing the first two titles for high school students: Everything You Need to Ace Geometry in One Big Fat Notebook and Everything You Need to Ace Chemistry in One Big Fat Notebook. Designed as the natural next step for the savvy students (and stressed parents) who made Math (over 1 million copies in print) and Science (over 1 million copies in print) the bestselling titles in the middle school series, these books offer a world of help for two of the tougher classes facing most high school sophomores, geometry and chemistry. Using the same formula that made the middle school series so successful, these new high school titles tackle difficult subjects in a lively, memorable, intuitive way. Critical ideas are broken down and clearly explained. Doodles illuminate tricky concepts. There are mnemonics for memorable shortcuts, and quizzes to recap it all. Geometry, written by high school math teacher extraordinaire Christy Needham, follows along with a year of geometry class, starting with the basics, like points, lines, planes, and angles, and progressing to the beginning of trigonometry. Big Fat Notebooks are already helping millions of middle school students. Now high schoolers will enjoy and benefit from this kind of brilliant help--a set of notes, as if from the smartest kid in class, to help them study throughout the year, get ready for challenging exams, and know they have a source to turn to when they need to catch up on missed problems or understand the most difficult or confusing concepts.

: Over the past 250 years, energy transitions have occurred repeatedlythe rise of coal in the nineteenth century, the explosion of oil in the twentieth century, the nuclear utopianism of the 1950s and 1960s. These transitions have been as revolutionary as any political or economic upheaval, and they required changes in infrastructure and behaviour. Yet new energies never wholly replace old ones. This volume historicizes energy production and consumption while demonstrating how energy use has reshaped everything from social life and economic organization to political governance. It foregrounds the importance of energy for big historical questions about capitalism, democracy, inequality, the environment, and identity, and it argues that energy systems themselves merit attention as key agents of historical change. Given the urgency of climate change, and the central position that energy plays in causing and potentially solving global warming, this volume engages history as a discipline in the debate over what may be most monumental energy transition of all time: the shift away from fossil fuels.

: Edie Sedgwick, socialite, model, fashion icon, film star, and collaborator in Andy Warhols underground cinema of the 1960s. The legacy of Edie Sedgwick as the New York fashion icon (Vogues youthquaker and Lifes girl with the black tights) and associate of Andy Warhol is still keenly felt today with the recent homage to her in a collection by Marc Jacobs, and an earlier one at Dior in 2005, and even thirty-three years after her death (then only 28 years old) her image was used to front a successful NARS cosmetics campaign; in short, Edie Sedgwick is the definition of iconic. Factory Girl, Factory Films is the first to explore the relationship between Edie Sedgwick and Warhol anew specifically in relation to the filmmaking and cinema, detailing all 22 films and 3 videos. Gary Needham explores several issues relevant to the study of Warhol and Warhols cinema, and proposing important new frameworks around collaborative artistic practices, acting, performance, stardom, and underground cinema.
