Vocabulary is more important than you think. Indeed, the number of words children know is a strong predictor of a range of outcomes. The more words a child knows early in their lives, the better they will do in terms of literacy later on, and the better they will do in terms of a number of other outcomes. And it's not just the number of words, but the quality, too, that can affect these outcomes.With this in mind, this book intends to give the reader another tool to be able to increase the size of their vocabulary to help you improve your outcome, no matter what your age. And, let's face it, it can be fun to learn new things. Including words!

In an era when Stone Age tribes share the world with the earliest civilizations, a young nomadic hunter accidentally brings doom upon his people, and a curse upon himself. Seeking to lift the curse, he and a few other survivors must leave the forest and journey to the greatest city of all, where they face strange new dangers, mazes of conspiracy and deception, and many puzzling breeds of savage. Rebecca Bradley, author of the Gil Trilogy and The Lateral Truth, brings both her fantasy chops and her archaeological experience to this intriguing tale of the ancient world.

In the relatively short history of psychology as a science, our understanding of human behavior, cognition, emotion, and perception has moved forward in leaps and bounds. This knowledge is frequently applied today to help make improvements in people's lives, from more effective therapies for the mentally ill to educational strategies to increased work productivity.But if we step back in time only a few decades, we find psychologists playing a key role in a very different effort: the attempt to support racist and sexist attitudes and policies with results from experiments and other forms of research. This book provides a window into this period, reprinting over 20 journal articles from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries with commentary from noted educators Abramson and Lack. Will we continue to twist science to fit our preformed beliefs or can we learn from the mistakes of our past?"This is an important contribution to the literature in psychology regarding a very uncomfortable time in our history. I applaud the authors for taking on this challenging topic and shining light on this dark time in the history of social science."Dr. Robert Mather, Associate Professor of Experimental Psychology, University of Central Oklahoma
