Mason (educational psychology, counseling, and special education, Pennsylvania State U.) et al. show middle and high school teachers how to improve struggling students' reading and writing through an evidence-based instructional approach called Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD). After discussing the background on strategy instruction, the steps for teaching self-regulation, and SRSD and the stages for effective strategy acquisition, they describe four self-regulation strategies: goal setting, self-monitoring, self-instruction, and self-reinforcement. They provide lesson plans for embedding these strategies into content curriculum, with sample scripts and vignettes illustrating applications in content-specific classes. Sections cover reading to learn, including reading comprehension, summarizing, and thinking about reading; writing to learn (narrative, persuasive, and informative writing and quick writes); and enhancing class preparation skills and homework completion; with references to research that supports these interventions in each chapter.

Northeast of Yellowstone National Park, between precipitous mountains along Soda Butte Creek, lies the old mining town of Cooke City. Ramshackle buildings of yesteryear and scars of exploitation still remain, quietly telling stories about this quaint community. When Adam 'Horn' Miller picked up a piece of rich galena ore in the vicinity of the Clark's Fork drainage, it was destined to play an important part in the mining and development of the area. Early explorers, prospectors, and settlers were thwarted by Indians, rugged mountains without roads, and winters in the high country. Until 1877, most of the work was prospecting, then smelters were built. A railroad was expected but never materialized, so only marginal profits were made in mining. The area's scenic wonders, however, are Cooke City's true wealth.

Urbanization: An Introduction to Urban Geography,Third Edition captures the changes in the nature and outcomes of urbanization processes for people, as well as the development of new ways of thinking about urban geography. Unraveling the interlocking processes of urbanization, Knox and McCarthy present a vivid and meaningful explanation of constantly changing urban geographies and urban life. This framework supports the discussion of recent changes while addressing much of the “traditional” subject matter of urban geography. The book's dynamic approach also allows for integration of both theories and facts, where key concepts and theories are presented in relation to prior events and ideas–providing a coherent and comprehensive introduction to urban geography that offers a historical and process-oriented approach. With a U.S. focus that also offers global context and comparative international perspectives, the authors examine urban trends and their outcomes in both developed and less-developed countries to understand, analyze, and interpret the landscapes, economies, and communities of towns and cities around the world.

They punctuate our days, but we take them for granted: our barista, our car mechanic, our coworker. Yet these are the consequential strangers who bring novelty and new opportunities into our lives. In an unprecedented examination of 'people who don't seem to matter,' psychologist Karen L. Fingerman, who coined the term, collaborates with journalist Melinda Blau to develop an idea sparked by Fingerman and others' groundbreaking social science research. Drawing as well from Blau's wide-ranging interviews, this book presents a rich portrait of our social landscape, chronicling the surprising impact consequential strangers have on business, creativity, health, and the strength of our communities.
