The “Not” Theory raises the question, “How can one be free from intellectual constraints?” It then gives a basic, elementary response and reasoning. This begs the question,... More > “Is it correct?” You will not find the answer here. Instead, the book is an instruction manual/preparation guide/workbook for testing the “Not” Theory: a structure to bring together a group of 7 artists (from any medium) to create an art project of any kind (i.e. a series of paintings, sculptures, poems, photographs, a video, theater, dance, multi-media project, etc.) It is broken down into three phases: Constraints (X), Destruction (Adding Y to X), and Freedom. The group must experience Phase I together, in the format given. However, Phase II and III cannot be forced onto the group. They must choose to continue testing the theory.
Last question: “Is freedom possible?” It is up to you to determine.< Less
Amusements In Mathematics: Illustrated by Henry Ernest Dudeney.
One of the largest puzzle collections — 430 brainteasers based on algebra, arithmetic, permutations, probability, plane figure... More > dissection, properties of numbers, etc. Intriguing, witty, paradoxical productions of one of the world's foremost creators of puzzles. Full solutions. More than 450 illustrations.
The life of Henry Ernest Dudeney is certainly one of the more interesting. Coming from a line that includes a shepherd that taught himself the elements of both astronomy and mathematics, it became clear that Henry was destined for great things.
By the time he turned 9, he began to publish the puzzles and problems that he was creating in his local newspaper. This is very impressive for a young man that never attended college or got anything more than a basic education. In 1893, he began to work with Sam Loyd on creating the mathematical puzzles that he remains famous for today.< Less
This Practice-Based Instructional Edition is focused on Engaging the Net Generation in Scientific Processes, A novel math and science partnership project using the results of an innovative case... More > study.
This edition illustrates ways to instill Scientific Processes in the "Net" Generation, while increasing "general procedural skills". From investigating diversity to participating in group activities, teachers that were once nonchalant about this generation of students need to welcome, understand and steer their curiosity and novelty towards STEM areas. Project-Based Study (PBS) and Problem-Based Learning (PBL) are used as the instructional models integrated with "Visual Realization", which allows learners to use digital imagery to do conceptual modeling of a defined problem or scenario and see things in the "mind's eye".

After making this realization and separating creativity from \223aberrant behavior\224, guiding creativity in the Net Generation will allow Scientific Processes to be easily cultivated and instilled, while maintaining the accountability equation.

This Practice-Based Instructional Edition is focused on effective Decision Analysis in Learner Investigations. With the requirements of NCLB, open-minded and grounded education leaders have revamped... More > traditional curriculum models/methods. They are providing teachers with a phased continuum of research based professional development resources and incorporating new strategies in professional development that will stimulate and encourage teachers to engage and challenge learners. This refocused mindset has allowed these leaders to seek ways to infuse in classroom efforts effective decisions that allow Scientific Processes to be learned, while meeting the demands of NCLB.

PERCEPTOLOGY: The Science of Comprehension that is Universal Instructional Design through Visualus, Metacognetic Mechanics, Technology Engineering, and Optimal Instruction is an informative guidebook... More > developed to explain in detail the theory involved in the science of comprehension. PERCEPTOLOGY derives its solutions from an intense in–depth comprehensive Perceptological Analytical Mathematical Engine called “The Visualus Visioneering Volumetric” constructed with three–dimensional mathematics that define the application of the Innovative Problem–Solving Model of Inventive Instructional Design. This book is the precursor to VISUALUS and provides the theoretical and conceptual framework for the mathematics of visualization.< Less
