Bøger af Robert Guarino

The first book in Hoopoe''s "All About Me" series, Me and My Memory explores the mystery of our minds and memories: How do we remember, and how do we forget? In a clear and engaging way, it summarizes everything that scientists and researchers know about the topic, and also explores questions that have yet to be answered. Readers will begin to notice how their own and other people''s memories work. They''ll learn why memory is powerful but not perfect, and they''ll uncover strategies for improving it. Throughout the book, engaging activities that enhance these strategies are described. Me and My Memory was written by high-school teacher Robert Guarino, who presents fundamental information in clear and thoughtful text that teens can understand and relate to. This new edition of Me and My Memory has been revised to incorporate the latest research findings and meet the American Psychological Association''s National Standards for Psychology at the high-school level, the College Board AP Psychology standards and the National Board Standards for Science/Adolescence and Young Adulthood. The "All About Me" series presents books to help teens and preteens understand themselves and how they, as human beings, "work." This is fundamental information, but we often forget to teach it in school - for example, what psychologists know about how we see, think, and feel; how these abilities work, change, grow or get stuck; and how reliable they are as we try to make sense of ourselves, our friends, our relatives and the world around us. There is good, solid information readily available and scientifically validated - and it''s all about you ... and me.

WHAT WE SEE AND DON'T SEE, the fourth book in the All About Me series, explores what science and research shows about how we perceive our world.  Readers will learn how our brain makes sense of the world. They will discover how our brain simplifies and organizes information: How we see what we see and, sometimes, don't see what is obviously in front of us. They will discover how our five senses can be "extended," and our perception enhanced. They'll explore how there is more to perception than what meets the eye (or ear, or nose, or...), and how our culture can influence how we experience our surroundings. In other words, learn why it is important to "keep the bear at bay."The All About Me Series from Hoopoe Books presents books to help you understand yourself and how you, as a human being, work.  This is fundamental information, but we often forget to teach you about it in school.
