In un unico e-box i primi due romanzi della saga romantica di Luce e Daniel che strega e appassiona. Fallen Basta un istante per sconvolgere un’esistenza. A cambiare la vita di Lucinda, diciassette anni, è stato quello in cui è morto un suo caro amico. E lei ha visto addensarsi di nuovo le ombre scure che la perseguitano da quando era bambina. Guardata con sospetto da chi la ritiene responsabile della morte dell’amico, Luce – così la chiamano tutti – è costretta a entrare in un istituto correzionale: nessun contatto con il mondo esterno, telecamere di sorveglianza, ragazzi e ragazze dal passato oscuro e disturbato. E poi appare Daniel. Luce sente di averlo già incontrato, ma nella sua mente si accendono solo rari lampi di ricordi troppo brevi per essere veri. Quando rischia di perderla, Daniel decide di uscire allo scoperto: i loro cuori si conoscono da sempre, da tutte le vite che Luce non ricorda ancora di aver vissuto. Torment Quando Daniel apre le ali e si allontana nel cielo, Luce si sente smarrita. Rimarrà in un collegio della California per chissà quanto tempo, a mille miglia da casa, senza di lui.

The Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA) may be the most powerful environmental law in the United States. The law employs restrictive land-use regulations to protect threatened and endangered species and their habitats. When enforced on private lands, these regulations often come into conflict with landowners'' private property rights. Regulations protecting federally listed species can cause economic losses and regulatory burdens for private landowners, yet the government is not required to provide compensation or assistance. Thus, current policies effectively create an economic disincentive for maintaining habitat for listed species on private lands. This disincentive may undermine conservation efforts to protect listed species on private lands, as well as induce private landowners to engage in preemptive habitat destruction for petitioned species that may be listed under the ESA in the future. Incentives, such as direct payments, tax breaks, cost-share programs, or conservation easements, could help to ameliorate this conflict. Hence, this study examines attitudes and opinions of nonindustrial private forest landowners who may be affected by endangered species regulations. A survey was designed to examine nonindustrial private forest landowners'' perspectives on the ESA, potential incentive programs, government efforts to protect the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), and the petition to list the gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) as a threatened species. The survey was pilot tested at the National Conference of Private Landowners in June 2015 in Virginia Beach, Virginia (n = 53). The survey was then electronically distributed to nonindustrial private forest landowners through partnerships with 10 forestry organizations (N = 928). Data collection was conducted from October 2015 through February 2016. Results provide insight into factors affecting nonindustrial private forest landowners'' attitudes toward the ESA, their preferences among various incentive programs, their willingness to cooperate with protection of listed species, and their perceptions of petitions to list new species for protection under the ESA. Results provide new insight into nonindustrial private forest landowners'' perspectives on species conservation, with implications for future policy changes that could lead to better protection of private property rights, imperiled species, and the natural environment.

Globalization has quickly woven its way into every aspect of our economic, technological, and social lives. It is only natural that the educational system transforms into a globally competent powerhouse. We must hold our educational system accountable for creating quality education based on equity and realistic policies. With skilled leaders creating school districts that can compete, thrive, and communicate in the global community, we must work to nurture future generations that can maneuver and excel in the 21st century. The purpose of this research is to analyze the global mindedness of educational leaders, specifically superintendents, and to explore the future implications of globalization on education. Superintendents represent the top tier in the school leadership. It is essential to understand the views of those who understand the operational steps that can bring global interactions and global learning to our classrooms. If leaders understand the importance of the global community, this may give rise to actionable policy change to include global learning in classrooms. Therefore, it is imperative to better understand the global mindedness of our leaders. It is through leadership that informed change can be brought about in policy. Merging leadership perspectives with policy recommendations can result in actionable change. Findings from this research reflect how clear communication and civic buy-in is imperative when creating new initiatives within the educational system, especially those on a grand scale such as globalization and education. Superintendents reflect on a desire to bring global learning into their districts for the benefits of student outcomes. Current hinders to globalization and education include the COVID-19 pandemic, lack of frameworks to guide educational leadership and the learning community towards globalized learning, and lack of funding and resources to support the incorporation of globalization and education. Educational leaderships'' perspectives offer insight into the realities of educational structures. Therefore, by valuing educational leaderships'' global mindedness we can better discover the underlying factors that make global learning easy and difficult to implement.

For years, physical field trips have been a hands-on, interactive educational method to enhance student knowledge and perception on various topics. Students can gain a lot from these experiences including interacting with professionals, connect classroom lessons to real-world examples, and engaging with real-world examples to increase interest and awareness of the topic. Today, schools face limited budgets and often times can’t afford to send students on field trips. Therefore, students are limited to a traditional classroom setting for learning, even though students are typically more interested in a hands-on approach to learning. Recently, some technologies have emerged as effective, new educational tools. Virtual field trips have become an alternative to physical field trips, while still achieving the same goals. In many instances, this is a free method of education that also saves time for teachers and schools in preparation and travel. Youth of today are regularly exposed to countless forms of digital environments such as games on iPads and watching television or YouTube videos. Virtual field trips engage students in a method of education that they are already comfortable with. At the same time, agricultural literacy of the general public is very low. Consumers are so far removed from the farm that they are not educated on agricultural practices and or where their food comes from. Consumers utilize online resources such as Google, YouTube, and their social media, to learn about various topics, including agriculture. Consumers, particularly students, are not motivated to actively seek out information and learn about agriculture, because they are not in a setting where they are able to engage with it. It is important for agricultural professionals to share their personal story to change perception and increase awareness. Several agricultural advocacy organizations have designed and hosted virtual farm trips, and each organization has taken its own approach. Some of these organizations choose to work with other stakeholders for this effort, some run this operation in-house and a few have only taken part for a short amount of time and found themselves stepping away from the program. This was a case study of four agricultural advocacy organization’s virtual field trip programs. These organizations, the Ohio Pork Council, the American Dairy Association Mideast, the Ohio Soybean Council, and the U.S. Farmers and Ranchers Alliance, created and implemented their virtual field trip program within the last six years. While the programs were similar with their purpose to increase agricultural literacy, they differed in platform, design, audience, and supplemental educational materials. A quantitative survey was sent to ten teachers who took part in a virtual field trip program at one or more of the organizations. Based on the results of the survey, teachers chose to include this program into their curriculum to increase student knowledge of agriculture and introduce their classes to career opportunities. Teachers chose to incorporate this program into their classrooms because it was convenient and aligned with curriculum standards. Teachers also reported while they like that virtual field trips benefit their students, they wished it included more hands-on aspects to increase likeliness of student understanding of agriculture. This research could provide agricultural advocacy organizations, their collaborators and teachers with information to improve on the virtual field trip design(s) to best impact youth education and ultimately increase agricultural literacy.
