Exploring Creation with Physical Science, 3rd Edition

Apologia’s Physical Science curriculum is written to the student in a conversational tone, and cultivates independent learning. Throughout this curriculum, your student will investigate, discover, recognize, appreciate, discuss, and understand the wonders of Creation. This is the 3rd Edition of Apologia’s Exploring Creation with Physical Science. OverviewWhen we offer our students experiments that move beyond the science text, their learning expands and they own their own discoveries. They are able to see that our world is not as random as it seems as they can observe a phenomenon, ask questions, and methodically seek answers for themselves. Science no longer is just a class–it’s a means to discover their world. We believe that your student’s education should prepare them for life–not just academics. So, we’ve strategically designed a curriculum that will give your middle school student a basic understanding of the world that surrounds them and the real-world relevance of scientific inquiry through the beauty of Creation. This course is designed to be the last science course the student takes before high school Biology. Students will build confidence and a foundational understanding of high school level science as they work through and complete our Chemistry, Physics, and Earth Science modules.

The Original Buddhist Psychology: What the Abhidharma Tells Us About How We Think, Feel, and Experie

The Abhidharma, one of the three major text collections of the original Buddhist canon, frames the psychological system of Buddhism, explaining the workings of reality and the nature of the human mind. It is composed of detailed matrixes and lists that outline the interaction of consciousness and reality, the essence of perception and experience, and the reasons and methods behind mindfulness and meditation. Because of its complexity, the Abhidharma has traditionally been reserved only for academic or monastic study; now, for the first time, clinical psychologist Beth Jacobs brings this dynamic body of work to general readers, using practical explanation, personal stories, and vivid examples to gently untangle the technical aspects of the Abhidharma. Drawing on decades of experience as both a therapist and a Buddhist, Jacobs illuminates this classic area of Buddhist thought, highlighting the ways it can broaden and deepen our experience of the human psyche and offering profound insights into spiritual practice.

Goodnight Mind: Turn Off Your Noisy Thoughts and Get a Good Night's Sleep

Do you find yourself lying awake at night, ruminating about the events of the day? Do you toss and turn, worrying about what you have to do in the morning or what you did earlier in the day? If so, you are not alone. In fact, insomnia is the most common sleep disorder faced by the general population today. The most common complaint in those who have trouble sleeping is having a “noisy mind.” Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, it seems like you cannot silence all the internal dialogue. So what do you do when your mind is spinning and your thoughts just won't stop? Accessible, enjoyable, and grounded in evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Goodnight Mind directly addresses the effects of rumination-or having an overactive brain-on your ability to sleep well. Written by two psychologists who specialize in sleep disorders, the book contains helpful exercises and insights into how you can better manage your thoughts at bedtime, and finally get some sleep. Traditional treatment for insomnia is usually focused on medications that promote sedation rather than on the behavioral causes of insomnia. Unfortunately, medication can often lead to addiction, and a host of other side effects. This is a great book for anyone who is looking for effective therapy to treat insomnia without the use of medication. This informative, short audio book is perfect for late-night listening.
