"College Knowledge: What It Really Takes for Students to Succeed and What We Can Do to Get Them Ready." Although more and more students have the test scores and transcripts to get into college, far too many are struggling once they get there. These students are surprised to find that college coursework demands so much more of them than high school. For the first time, they are asked to think deeply, write extensively, document assertions, solve non-routine problems, apply concepts, and accept unvarnished critiques of their work. College Knowledge confronts this problem by looking at the disconnect between what high schools do and what colleges expect and proposes a solution by identifying what students need to know and be able to do in order to succeed. The book is based on an extensive three-year project sponsored by the Association of American Universities in partnership with The Pew Charitable Trusts. This landmark research identified what it takes to succeed in entry-level university courses. Based on the project's findings - and interviews with students, faculty, and staff - this groundbreaking book delineates the cognitive skills and subject area knowledge that college-bound students need to master in order to succeed in today's colleges and universities. These Standards for Success cover the major subject areas of English, mathematics, natural sciences, social sciences, second languages, and the arts. Softcover. 384 pages. Learn More

The Clockwork Universe theory favored by 17th-century Deists held that the Earth and the heavens, and all their motions, were like a giant clock, with God as the Clockmaker. Newton's three laws of motion and the principle of universal gravitation were thought to be sufficient to explain phenomena of any kind, using mechanical conceptions. At UGears we love mechanical conceptions! And so, with a nod to Isaac Newton, we present the Sky Watcher Tourbillon Table Clock, a fascinating combination of the imaginative celestial observatory and functional mechanical desk clock!

For years, UGears fans around the world clamored for us to create a functional wooden clock model. Together with the gravity-powered, wall-mounted Aero Clock, and now the spring-loaded Tourbillon Table Clock, we have doubly delivered! Clocks are complex mechanisms. We bet you never thought you could build your own clock out of wood that keeps accurate time! But with UGears models, you become a creative partner in an amazing mechanical adventure. To create this amazing DIY clock made from natural wood, our designers and engineers solved complex problems of friction, gearing, tooth strength, torsion of the clock body, and tourbillon axles under spring load. Now the challenge is yours: build, bring it to life, and become the clockmaker in your own steampunk universe.
