SaTP_#36_Nextvista.org_and_Rushton_Hurley.mp3 Listen on Posterous News of the Week: 1) Introducing TEDbooksWe're thrilled to announce the launch of TEDBooks, an imprint of short nonfiction works designed for digital distribution. Shorter than traditional books, TEDBooks run less than 20,000 words each -- long enough to explain a powerful idea, but short enough to be read in a single sitting. … Does this mean the dumbing down of reading? Actually, we suspect people reading TEDBooks will be trading up rather than down. They'll be reading a short, compelling book instead of browsing a magazine or doing crossword puzzles. Our goal is to make ideas accessible in a way that matches modern attention spans. … TEDBooks are available from Amazon.com as Kindle Singles. They can be purchased for $2.99 each, and can be read on any device equipped with the Kindle app: iPad, Mac, PC, Android, iPhone, Blackberry and Windows 7 smartphones.Gunn High School in Palo Altohttp://gunnlibrary.tumblr.com/2
