10 for 10: Hedley Verity and the Story of Cricket’s Greatest Bowling Feat
by Chris WatersHedley Verity was one of Yorkshire and England's greatest cricketers. In a career that ran from 1930 to 1939, the left-arm spin bowler took 1,956 wickets at an average of 14.90. Verity was chiefly responsible for England's only Ashes victory at Lord's in the 20th century, when his 15 wickets helped to win the 1934 Test - 14 of them captured in a single day. And he dismissed the legendary Australian batsman Don Bradman more times than anyone in Test cricket, claiming his wicket on eight occasions - and a record-equalling 10 times in first class cricket. But the high-water mark of Verity's career came during a long-forgotten County Championship match in 1932. On the Headingley ground near his birthplace, Verity returned staggering figures of 10 for 10 against Nottinghamshire - a world record that still stands.Now, for the first time, the story of this amazing game has been told as Chris Waters narrates it in relation to Verity's career - a career that ended with the outbreak of a war in which Verity was tragically killed at the age of 38.Warm and wistful, charming and colourful, 10 for 10: Hedley Verity and the story of cricket's greatest bowling feathonours the history of our summer sport.

10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works - A True Story
by Dan Harris#1 New York Times Bestseller and winner of the 2014 Living Now Book Award for Inspirational Memoir.'An enormously smart, clear-eyed, brave-hearted, and quite a personal look at the benefits of meditation' - Elizabeth Gilbert10% Happier is a spiritual book written for - and by - someone who would otherwise never read a spiritual book. It is both a deadly serious and seriously funny look at mindfulness and meditation as the next big public health revolution.Dan Harris always believed the restless, relentless, impossible-to-satisfy voice in his head was one of his greatest assets. How else can you climb the ladder in an ultra-competitive field like TV news except through nonstop hand-wringing and hyper vigilance? For a while, his strategy worked. Harris anchored national broadcasts and he covered wars. Then he hit the brakes, and had a full-blown panic attack live on the air. What happened next was completely unforeseen. Through a bizarre series of events - involving a disgraced evangelical pastor, a mysterious self-help guru and a fateful gift from his wife - Harris stumbled upon something that helped him tame the voice in his head: meditation. At first, he was deeply suspicious. He had long associated meditation with bearded swamis and unwashed hippies. But when confronted with mounting scientific evidence that just a few minutes a day can literally rewire the brain for focus,happiness, and reduced reactivity, Harris took a deep dive. He spent years mingling with scientists,executives and marines on the front lines of a quiet revolution that has the potential to reshape society. He became a daily meditator, and even found himself on a ten-day, silent meditation retreat, which was simultaneously the best and worst experience he'd ever had.Harris's life was not transformed into a parade of rainbows and unicorns, but he did gain a passion for daily meditation. While the book itself is a narrative account of Dan's conversion amid the harried and decidedly non-Zen world of the newsroom, it concludes with a section for the novice on how to get started.

10 Jahre Bologna Prozess: Chancen, Herausforderungen und Problematiken
by Tobias BrändleMittlerweile hat die erste Generation von Studierenden ihr Studium nach der europaweiten Angleichung von Studiengangsstrukturen und Studienabschlüsse, die mit dem Bologna-Prozess angestoßen wurde, abgeschlossen. Sie waren es, die die Hürden und Ungereimtheiten in diesem bildungspolitischen Großexpe- ment aushalten mussten und sie waren es auch, die die Interessen der Studierenden in die Politik trugen. Dass eben diese Betroffenen sich auch in ihrem Studium mit der Frage beschäftigten, welche Akteure eigentlich den Bologna-Prozess gestaltet haben und inwieweit es sich dabei um einen de- kratischen und von allen Beteiligten gleichermaßen getragenen Prozess handelt, verwundert daher nicht. Das dürfte vor allem auch für jene Studierende gelten, die sich im Rahmen ihres Studiums mit Fragen der Bildungspolitik, der Bildungsforschung und hier insbesondere der Hochschulforschung auseinand- setzten und dort ihre Forschungsschwerpunkte gesucht und gefunden haben. Der dabei immer auch ins Visier tretende, kritische Fokus auf die Akteure, die sich bildungspolitisch an solchen Großexperimenten beteiligen, eröffnet dabei auch eine reflexive Perspektive auf jene gesellschaftlichen Steuerungsprozesse, die das eigene Leben – hier vor allem die eigene Hochschulbiografie – maßgeblich mitprägen. Ein solches wissenschaftliches, gleichwohl auch persönliches Engagement liegt der vorliegenden Studie zugrunde und zeichnet sie zugleich aus. In ihr werden dezidierte Analysen des Bologna-Prozesses vorgelegt, die nicht nur profunde Kenntnis der Studienstrukturreform und der sie kennzeichnenden E- scheidungsstrukturen belegen. So besticht die Arbeit nicht nur durch die mul- perspektivische Sicht auf den Prozess selbst, sondern auch durch die sich - zeichnende bildungssoziologische Rahmung der vorgelegten Analysen.

10% Less Democracy: Why You Should Trust Elites a Little More and the Masses a Little Less
by Garett JonesDuring the 2016 presidential election, both Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders argued that elites were hurting the economy. But, drawing together evidence and theory from across economics, political science, and even finance, Garett Jones says otherwise. In 10% Less Democracy, he makes the case that the richest, most democratic nations would be better off if they slightly reduced accountability to the voting public, turning up the dial on elite influence. To do this, Jones builds on three foundational lines of evidence in areas where he has personal experience. First, as a former staffer in the U.S. Senate, he saw how senators voted differently as elections grew closer. Second, as a macroeconomist, Jones knows the merits of "independent" central banks, which sit apart from the political process and are controlled by powerful insiders. The consensus of the field is that this detached, technocratic approach has worked far better than more political and democratic banking systems. Third, his previous research on the effects of cognitive skills on political, social, and economic systems revealed many ways in which well-informed voters improve government. Discerning repeated patterns, Jones draws out practical suggestions for fine-tuning, focusing on the length of political terms, the independence of government agencies, the weight that voting systems give to the more-educated, and the value of listening more closely to a group of farsighted stakeholders with real skin in the game—a nation's sovereign bondholders. Accessible to political news junkies while firmly rooted and rigorous, 10% Less Democracy will fuel the national conversation about what optimal government looks like.

10 Mindframes for Visible Learning: Teaching for Success
by John Hattie Klaus ZiererThe original Visible Learning research concluded that one of the most important influencers of student achievement is how teachers think about learning and their own role. In Ten Mindframes for Visible Learning, John Hattie and Klaus Zierer define the ten behaviors or mindframes that teachers need to adopt in order to maximize student success. These include: thinking of and evaluating your impact on students’ learning; the importance of assessment and feedback for teachers; working collaboratively and the sense of community; the notion that learning needs to be challenging; engaging in dialogue and the correct balance between talking and listening; conveying the success criteria to learners; building positive relationships. These powerful mindframes, which should underpin every action in schools, are founded on the principle that teachers are evaluators, change agents, learning experts, and seekers of feedback who are constantly engaged with dialogue and challenge.This practical guide, which includes questionnaires, scenarios, checklists, and exercises, will show any school exactly how to implement Hattie’s mindframes to maximize success.
