Welcome to NSCC Bookstore.
Please call 419-267-1208 for assistance with your Summer Semester 2026 textbook needs.
As we transition our textbook purchasing process to eCampus, this summer term will be handled differently while we work through existing bookstore inventory. Students are encouraged to review their course syllabi and instructor communications for details on required and recommended textbooks. When available, eCampus will provide direct links to purchase or access materials, including digital options, rentals, and new or used copies to help ensure the best pricing options.
During this transition period, not all courses may appear in the new system immediately. If you are unable to locate your required materials through eCampus, please contact the campus bookstore for guidance. We appreciate your patience as we work to streamline and improve the textbook purchasing experience, and we strongly recommend securing your materials as early as possible to avoid delays at the start of the semester.
We will be fully processing through eCampus for the Fall 2026 semester.

This reader-friendly, practical book offers you a solid foundation for developing an individualized classroom management plan that suits your unique instructional philosophy. This book examines a variety of models of classroom management arranged according to their primary focus: classroom management as discipline, classroom management as a system, and classroom management as instruction.

Since then, over seven thousand schools have adopted PBS as their primary management plan. New Chapter 14 focuses on research-based best practices in classroom management. This chapter provides nine proven strategies for managing classrooms. New feature Strategies for Dealing with Difficult Students. Classroom teachers need specific strategies for working with students whose behavior is not changed by the strategies that work for the majority of students. Each model now provides more specific information on how to deal with these difficult students.

The general public has a glorified view of the pursuit of scientific research. However, the idealized perception of science as a rule-based, methodical system for accumulating facts could not be further from the truth. Modern science involves the idiosyncratic, often bumbling search for
understanding in uncharted territories, full of wrong turns, false findings, and the occasional remarkable success. In his sequel to Ignorance (Oxford University Press, 2012), Stuart Firestein shows us that the scientific enterprise is riddled with mistakes and errors - and that this is a good thing! Failure: Why Science Is So Successful delves into the origins of scientific research as a process that relies upon
trial and error, one which inevitably results in a hefty dose of failure. In fact, scientists throughout history have relied on failure to guide their research, viewing mistakes as a necessary part of the process. Citing both historical and contemporary examples, Firestein strips away the distorted
view of science as infallible to provide the public with a rare, inside glimpse of the messy realities of the scientific process. An insider's view of how science is actually carried out, this book will delight anyone with an interest in science, from aspiring scientists to curious general readers. Accessible and entertaining, Failure illuminates the greatest and most productive adventure of human history, with all the
missteps along the way.
