     It wasn’t because they weren’t smart, talented people. They were. The problem was that in all of their years of school, no one had taken the time to teach them how to learn things efficiently. I want to change that. Because here’s a secret… If you study correctly, not only is it MUCH less work, but you’ll also get WAY better grades (and perhaps even have a bit of fun). Take it from me… I have two bachelor’s degrees and a master’s degree. While I was getting my master’s degree, I had three jobs. And let me tell you something: if you have three jobs while you’re getting a master’s degree, you are virtually forced to come up with some study hacks or you’ll go insane! I was also a college instructor for many years, and during that time, I was working as a professional tutor. All told, I’ve coached hundreds and hundreds of students into better grades. Now I want to teach you. What will you learn? Discover how to cut study time in HALF. Who really likes to study? Not me! Luckily, you probably don’t have to be studying nearly as much as you probably are right now. Because here’s a secret: the top students don’t study as much. They just study more effectively. Understand the MINDSET of an ultra-successful student. There are tons of different study strategies out there. However… Most of those strategies can’t be applied to everyone. Want to know why? Because studying isn’t about flash cards or formulas or any other “tip”. Studying the right way is a whole different type of approach. It’s a WAY of learning, remembering, and interacting. Even more than that, studying the right way includes a lot more than just preparing for tests. There are social, biological and psychological elements to it. To really study like an A+ student, you have to change the way you THINK about school. Learn 19 study habits that will totally reshape how you think about school. Here are just a few of the things you’ll learn. How to write papers in half the time Why you shouldn’t take notes in class The best way to talk to your professors What you should eat before a test How thinking dirty thoughts can help you learn Why everything you’ve been told about Wikipedia is wrong When you should be reading (hint: it’s not after class) How professors grade you Why your body loves to learn when it’s tired Exactly how many sources it takes to write a killer paper And much, much more! And guys… these only take FIVE minutes.

    In those twelve months, Einstein shattered many cherished scientific beliefs with five extraordinary papers that would establish him as the world's leading physicist. This book brings those papers together in an accessible format. The best-known papers are the two that founded special relativity: On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies and Does the Inertia of a Body Depend on Its Energy Content? In the former, Einstein showed that absolute time had to be replaced by a new absolute: the speed of light. In the second, he asserted the equivalence of mass and energy, which would lead to the famous formula E = mc2.The book also includes On a Heuristic Point of View Concerning the Production and Transformation of Light, in which Einstein challenged the wave theory of light, suggesting that light could also be regarded as a collection of particles. This helped to open the door to a whole new world--that of quantum physics. For ideas in this paper, he won the Nobel Prize in 1921.The fourth paper also led to a Nobel Prize, although for another scientist, Jean Perrin. On the Movement of Small Particles Suspended in Stationary Liquids Required by the Molecular-Kinetic Theory of Heat concerns the Brownian motion of such particles. With profound insight, Einstein blended ideas from kinetic theory and classical hydrodynamics to derive an equation for the mean free path of such particles as a function of the time, which Perrin confirmed experimentally. The fifth paper, A New Determination of Molecular Dimensions, was Einstein's doctoral dissertation, and remains among his most cited articles. It shows how to calculate Avogadro's number and the size of molecules.These papers, presented in a modern English translation, are essential reading for any physicist, mathematician, or astrophysicist. Far more than just a collection of scientific articles, this book presents work that is among the high points of human achievement and marks a watershed in the history of science. Coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the miraculous year, this new paperback edition includes an introduction by John Stachel, which focuses on the personal aspects of Einstein's youth that facilitated and led up to the miraculous year.

    Students will receive a grounding in areas that vary from treatment to organizational and community settings. This edition also includes of new case studies, practice examples and guiding principles.

    Toland pored over military archives and was the first person to gain access to previously undisclosed Chinese records, which allowed him to investigate Chairman Mao’s direct involvement in the conflict. Toland supplements his captivating history with in-depth interviews with more than two hundred American soldiers, as well as North Korean, South Korean, and Chinese combatants, plus dozens of poignant photographs, bringing those who fought to vivid life and honoring the memory of those lost.  In Mortal Combat is comprehensive in it discussion of events deemed controversial, such as American brutality against Korean civilians and allegations of American use of biological warfare. Toland tells the dramatic account of the Korean War from start to finish, from the appalling experience of its POWs to Mao’s prediction of MacArthur’s Inchon invasion.   Toland’s account of the “forgotten war” is a must-read for any history aficionado.

    He looks at the well publicized cases of Michael Bellesiles, the historian of gun culture accused of research fraud; accused plagiarists and “celebrity historians” Stephen Ambrose and Doris Kearns Goodwin; Pulitzer Prize winner Joseph J. Ellis, who lied in his classroom at Mount Holyoke about having fought in Vietnam; and the allegations of misconduct by Harvard’s Stephan Thernstrom and Emory’s Elizabeth Fox-Genovese, who nevertheless were appointed by George W. Bush to the National Council on the Humanities.As the Bancroft Prize–winning historian Linda Gordon wrote in Dissent, Wiener’s “very readable book . . . reveal[s] not only scholarly misdeeds but also recent increases in threats to free debate and intellectual integrity.”
