This guide is filled with useful tips and ideas on everything from room rates to the detailed clear color maps, from world-class museums and markets to the citys great bars and restaurants, and top sightseeing tips from the popular sites to the unusual.Customer reviewsI bought several books on a recent trip to Amsterdam, but this was the only one I used while walking and sightseeing. The books small size makes it convenient to hold, but dont be fooled: this book is jam-packed with useful information. And, unlike the Eyewitness Travel Guides, which are also great, this book lists a good number of budget accommodations and also provides important details that I found, for the most part, very accurate. The section on what to do outside Amsterdam was also extremely useful. My glasses broke during the trip, and the book actually listed places to get them fixed or replaced! It was amazing how much practical information they squeezed into a small book. Overall, the best travel guide Ive seen to Amsterdam!RRP: $ 12.99Price: $ 8.44You save: $ 4.55(35% off regular price)Availability: In stock(有货)Note : This item will be delivered within 24 hours in the UK.

If you answer yes, consider this question: Are you bad at math because you didnt study hard enough to learn the material or because you lack the ability to be good at it ? As it turns out, many children believe that they dont do well on math tests because theyre intellectually incapable (无能的) of understanding the material. They have no reason to try harder, thus trapping them in a state of being bad at math.Educators Miles Kimball and Noah Smith argue that this is a big problem,“Math is the great mental subject of an unconfident America. If we can convince you that anyone can learn math, it should be a short step to convincing you that you can learn just about anything, if you work hard enough.”Psychologist Carol Dweck took on the task of convincing a group of students that if they worked hard they could become smarter. The truly remarkable part of that study was not that the kids improved and earned higher grades; it was that Dweck noted that a few of the tough boys in the group were brought to tears, learning that the level of intelligence they could reach was limitless it was entirely up to them .Of course, not all of us will become genius mathematicians, but the majority of us can become skilled and maybe even good at math. As Mashable points out, while dyscalculia (计算障碍) , a math disability, is a real thing, only 6 percent of the population is likely to have it. For the rest of us, its a confidence problem, or a lack of belief that with hard work, well improve. Thankfully, we now know better, and we can pass on that information to the next generation.24.
