Viktor Schauberger : A Life of Learning from Nature
-- Second edition of a concise introduction to Schauberger's life and thinkingViktor Schauberger's knowledge of natural energies led to inventions which, if properly harnessed, could solve the world's energy crisis.Unfortunately most people still find his ideas difficult to understand or accept. Jane Cobbald first became interested in Schauberger's theories when she realised that using a copper trowel in her garden greatly increased her potato harvest.In this book, she does not aim to provide a definitive explanation of his ideas.Instead, she takes a biographical approach and teases out the different strands of his thinking, presenting them in his own words.She shows how his approach developed over the course of his eventful life (which included both World Wars) and takes the reader on a journey through his discoveries, interspersed with lively anecdotes which illustrate how his mind worked. She asks the questions Schauberger asked. What energy do trouts use to stay almost motionless in fast-flowing mountain streams, or to climb waterfalls?How does a tall tree draw the water from its roots all the way to the top?Viktor Schauberger's insights into natural energies are here explained in a clear, unassuming and entertaining way.His remarkable inventions, the author argues, could be the much-needed solutions to our energy, transport and health issues. Includes an exclusive interview with Ingeborg Schauberger, Viktor's daughter-in-law. The text has been fully revised and updated.

"Is cycling or skiing followed more?"
The popularity of cycling or skiing can vary depending on the location and time of year. In general, cycling tends to be more popular in urban areas and during the warmer months, while skiing is more popular in mountainous regions and during the winter. However, it's difficult to determine which activity is followed more overall without specific data on participation rates in different regions and seasons.

Why deep learning compared to machine learning?
Deep learning is a subset of machine learning that uses neural networks to learn from data. It is more powerful than traditional machine learning techniques because it can automatically discover and learn from complex patterns and features in the data without the need for explicit feature engineering. Deep learning can handle large amounts of data and is capable of learning from unstructured data such as images, audio, and text, making it more versatile and effective for a wide range of applications. Additionally, deep learning models can continuously improve their performance with more data, making them more adaptable and scalable compared to traditional machine learning models.

Nature-Based Early Childhood Education : How Emergent Curriculum and Nature Play Support Learning
Bring to life the power of nature-based pedagogy and emergent curriculum to enhance learning for children.This book will clarify how to implement seasonal, nature-based, emergent curriculum with practical strategies for indoor and outdoor settings.Emergent curriculum is an approach that engages with children’s interests to plan curriculum, in contrast to teachers planning the curriculum around a theme without input from children. Emergent curriculum is a central feature of NBECE, yet it is widely misunderstood in the context of outdoor learning.Readers will discover how emergent curriculum underpins NBECE pedagogy in lockstep with developmentally appropriate practices.This book provides a definition of nature-based early childhood education (NBECE) as it is applied in American early childhood settings.Each chapter contains topics that form the backbone of a nature pedagogy framework.Learning in nature is certainly not a new concept. It is as old as time and human existence. But in recent years, a renewed interest to unplug and get back to basics has brought this movement to the forefront of early childhood education.Until now, nature-based approaches have been loosely lumped into a bucket of environmental education, outdoor education, or recreation unless a school or program explicitly refers to itself as a forest or nature preschool, forest kindergarten, or something similarly named.This book defines nature-based early childhood education as its own educational philosophy. And while it is already being applied in forest and nature preschools, it is spreading into every imaginable early learning environment.At the opening of each chapter, you will find Guiding Questions as a starting point for reading.There are further Reflection Questions at the conclusion of each chapter to encourage more thought about what you have read.These questions may challenge previously held beliefs or practices as you examine how to apply new knowledge to your unique setting.The Teacher’s Call to Action is a related challenge to help you deepen your understanding of nature pedagogy. Each chapter also includes examples of how NBECE is applied in programs across the United States.Research and best practices from nature-based early childhood education experts provide diverse perspectives for you to consider.An appendix includes workbook-style templates that teachers can pull out for outdoor/classroom use, to advocate with families/communities, communicate with parents, assess/reflect on their program and staff, document authentic learning. The foreword will be written by David Sobel who has spent the last twenty-five years working in the field of child development, place-based education, and parenting with nature.He currently serves as Senior Faculty in the Education Department at Antioch University New England in Keene, NH.His expertise and passion has led to authoring seven previous books and being identified as one of the “gurus and rock stars of environmental education” by Teacher magazine.

Becoming Nature : Learning the Language of Wild Animals and Plants
Animals and plants are in constant communication with the world around them.To join the conversation, we need only to connect with our primal mind and recognize that we, too, are Nature.Once in this state, we can communicate with animals as effortlessly as talking with friends.The songs of birds and the calls of animals start to make sense.We begin to see the reasons for their actions and discover that we can feel what they feel.We can sense the hidden animals around us, then get close enough to look into their eyes and touch them.Immersed in Nature, we are no longer intruders, but fellow beings moving in symphony with the Dance of Life. In this guide to becoming one with Nature, Tamarack Song provides step-by-step instructions for reawakening the innate sensory and intuitive abilities that our hunter-gatherer ancestors relied upon--abilities imprinted in our DNA yet long forgotten.Through exercises and experiential stories, the author guides us to immerse ourselves in Nature at the deepest levels of perception, which allows us to sense the surrounding world and the living beings in it as extensions of our own awareness.The practices in this book strip away everything that separates us from the animals.They enable us to restore our kinship with the natural world, strengthen our spiritual relationships with the animals who share our planet, and discover the true essence of the wild within us.

Learning, Unlearning and Re-Learning Curves
Learning, Unlearning and Re-learning Curves (Volume IV of the Working Guides to Estimating & Forecasting series) focuses in on Learning Curves, and the various tried and tested models of Wright, Crawford, DeJong, Towill-Bevis and others.It explores the differences and similarities between the various models and examines the key properties that Estimators and Forecasters can exploit. A discussion about Learning Curve Cost Drivers leads to the consideration of a little used but very powerful technique of Learning Curve modelling called Segmentation, which looks at an organisation’s complex learning curve as the product of multiple shallower learning curves.Perhaps the biggest benefit is that it simplifies the calculations in Microsoft Excel where there is a change in the rate of learning observed or expected.The same technique can be used to model and calibrate discontinuities in the learning process that result in setbacks and uplifts in time or cost.This technique is compared with other, better known techniques such as Anderlohr’s.Equivalent Unit Learning is another, relative new technique that can be used alongside traditional completed unit learning to give an early warning of changes in the rates of learning.Finally, a Learning Curve can be exploited to estimate the penalty of collaborative working across multiple partners.Supported by a wealth of figures and tables, this is a valuable resource for estimators, engineers, accountants, project risk specialists, as well as students of cost engineering.

-
Is distance learning worse than on-campus learning?
The effectiveness of distance learning versus on-campus learning depends on individual preferences, learning styles, and the specific course or program. Distance learning can offer flexibility and convenience for those with busy schedules or other commitments, while on-campus learning may provide more opportunities for in-person interaction and hands-on experiences. Both modalities have their own set of advantages and disadvantages, and the quality of the learning experience ultimately depends on the resources, support, and engagement available to the student in either setting.
