Featured Titles: A New Kind of Science & Regulation and Co-Regulation
Twenty Years of A New Kind of Science by Stephen Wolfram
When Stephen Wolfram's groundbreaking A New Kind of Science was published in 2002, its exploration and analysis of the computational universe of simple programs launched a scientific revolution. Twenty years later, the ideas and results of the book have found countless applications across science, technology and elsewhere―including the recent Wolfram Physics Project and its breakthrough in fundamental physics―and the book has indeed spawned what can only be described as a new kind of science.
Here Wolfram reflects on the first two decades of A New Kind of Science, discussing some of the major implications that have emerged so far, as well as his far-reaching new thinking building on the conceptual framework developed in A New Kind of Science. Written in Wolfram's popular and accessible style, the book provides a window into one of the most vibrant intellectual developments of our time.
Also available as part of the A New Kind of Science 20th Anniversary Limited Edition Boxed Set.
🖼️ Recognizing A New Kind of Science's significance not only in science but also in the arts, the book includes a gallery of pieces created over the past 20 years by artists inspired by the book.

15-Minute Focus: Regulation and Co-Regulation by Ginger Healy
Amazon bestseller in multiple categories - Emotional Mental Health, Education Theory.
We've all seen or experienced them: chaotic moments when emotional equilibrium gives way to outbursts of anger, arguments, tears, and turmoil. The results of such dysregulation are rarely positive, and entire class periods or even whole days can be lost in the fallout.
Packed with clear definitions, facts and statistics, heartfelt stories, and applicable discussion points, Regulation and Co-Regulation is rooted in the principle that relationships come first - it only takes one safe, committed adult to help a child heal and build resilience through co-regulation.
➡️ In this book, you'll discover:
the vital link between student stress and academic performance
how to recognize the often-subtle signs of dysregulation
the danger of mistaking calm and quiet for healthy regulation
an emphasis on diversity and inclusion of neurodivergent students
sound ways to adapt regulation principles to each child's unique makeup
the importance of engaging parents, families, and communities
...and more!
Tackling this critical aspect of learning head-on, Regulation and Co-Regulation holds out unapologetic hope for healing. As you absorb and apply the wisdom within these pages, get ready: a domino effect will begin when you embrace a new lens of thinking and responding. Everyone in your life - including you - will benefit from the tools you employ to make co-regulation a consistent reality for your students.
