A gripping middle-grade history that offers a fresh look at the groundbreaking 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom by spotlighting the protest's radical roots and the underappreciated role of Black women--includes a wealth of contemporary black-and-white photos throughout. Six decades ago, on August 28, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom--a moment often revered as the culmination of this Black-led protest. But at its core, the March on Washington was not a beautiful dream of future integration; it was a mass outcry for jobs and freedom NOW--not at some undetermined point in the future. It was a revolutionary march with its own controversies and problems, the themes of which still resonate to this day. Without diminishing the words of Dr. King, More Than a Dream looks at the march through a wider lens, using Black newspaper reports as a primary resource, recognizing the overlooked wo

This book introduces a new approach to embedded development, grounded in modern, industry-standard JavaScript. Using the same language that powers web browsers and Node.js, the Moddable SDK empowers IoT developers to apply many of the same tools and techniques used to build sophisticated websites and mobile apps. The Moddable SDK enables you to unlock the full potential of inexpensive microcontrollers like the ESP32 and ESP8266.Coding for these microcontrollers in C or C++ with the ESP-IDF and Arduino SDKs works for building basic products but doesn't scale to handle the increasingly complex IoT products that customers expect. The Moddable SDK adds the lightweight XS JavaScript engine to those traditional environments, accelerating development with JavaScript while keeping the performance benefits of a native SDK. Building user interfaces and communicating over the network are two areas where JavaScript really shines.IoT Development for ESP32 and ESP8266 with JavaScript shows you how t

New from the creator of Skunk on a String comes Wallpaper, a wordless picture book in Thao Lam’s signature paper collage style. It tells the story of a young girl whose family moves into a new house. Outside, she can hear other kids playing, but she’s too shy to say hello.

He is frightening at first, until it becomes clear he simply wants to be her friend. When it comes time to go back to reality, the girl feels inspired with the courage to approach the other kids and say hello.Full of humor and heart, this book delivers exquisite illustrations in a lively fantasy narrative that will inspire thinking about bravery and overcoming obstacles.

我們無法停止壓力，但可以控制壓力對我們的影響。活用FREEDOM模型與SOS法則，科學地管理壓力，改變大腦對壓力的反應方式，調整至最佳狀態，讓保護生命的「生存腦」與理性思考的「學習腦」成功合作，與壓力共生，完成想追求的目標。每個人的大腦中都有一個警鈴，在感應到緊急時，警鈴就會啟動身體的壓力反應系統，進入自我保護的狀態，幫助面對挑戰、保持警覺並生存下去。壓力不是敵人，壓力真正的問題在於人們不知道大腦警鈴「啟動」後該如何緩和，使警鈴變得過於敏感，容易過度反應甚至誤報，讓大腦陷入長期且不必要的壓力反應，引發各種失控行為。失敗的壓力管理，會讓人在「生存腦」的影響下持續緊張，失去自控力，無法運用「學習腦」正常思考與解決問題。真正有效的壓力管理不只是放鬆，而是明確感受到自己握有掌控權。想成功管控壓力，就必須知道如何正確安撫、緩和並重設大腦警鈴，阻止壓力反應惡化成情緒崩潰，不讓極端活躍的大腦警鈴綁架你整個大腦、身體以及生活。過度把重點放在抑制壓力反應，告訴自己「要放鬆」、「不要擔心」、「別再抱怨了」，只是在發送「我無法掌控目前的壓力源」的訊息，只會加劇警鈴發作。大腦警鈴唯有在確定我們已經安全，或即便無法完全解決眼前危機但可以掌控時，才會停止輸送壓力化學物質、交還身體控制權。我們需要告訴警鈴，你知道它在擔心什麼，知道該做什麼並有能力處裡，才能從生存模式切換到學習模式，這就是壓力管理最重要、也是最容易遺漏的步驟──刻意專注在對你而言最重要的事情上，搞清楚最要緊的是什麼，找到核心價值與目標。專精情緒控管的心理醫師朱利安．福特博士，與長期輔導遭受重大壓力創傷者的喬恩．沃特曼結合腦神經科學研究、多年臨床與諮商經驗，說明大腦在壓力之下會如何變化，以及如何控制與巧妙運用大腦警鈴，改變大腦對壓力的反應方式：►以FREEDOM模型優化大腦，調整至最佳狀態•專注（Focusing）•辨識導火線（Recognizing triggers）•發揮情緒力量（Empowering your emotions）•實踐核心價值（Exercising your core values）•制定最佳目標（Determining your optimal goals）•做出最佳選擇（Optimizing your choices）•做出貢獻（Making contribution）►運用SOS法則，幫助大腦進入壓力控制
