ONEThe Lay of the LandI believe that stories have this power-they enter us, transport us, they change things inside us, so invisibly, so minutely, that sometimes, we’re not even aware that we come out of a great book as a different person from the person we were when we began reading it.Julia AlvarezTHE MOMENT YOU lay down your first words of fiction, you become a magician like David Copperfield. Through the alchemy of craft and story, you create an illusion where the reader suspends disbelief, just as Copperfield makes his audiences believe he’s made a Boeing 747 airplane disappear.Modern neuroscientists have discovered what ancient shamans have known all along: Stories have power. Power to heal, to destroy, and to change history. In fact, fiction may have a longer-lasting effect than magic. Thought releases brain chemicals and neural electricity. Stories can “get under the skin” and integrate into the interior landscape of the self-and perhaps of the soul.We writers receive no greater compliment than to have our readers lament the ending of a story. Imagine how you would feel knowing that your characters-their lives, dilemmas, and triumphs-live on in the memory of your readers side by side with memories of actual people and situations.Stories move people to think and act. Anais Nin said, “What we are familiar with we cease to see. The write shakes up the familiar scene, and as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it.” Art, in the form of a story well told, may literally transform the reader and the culture from the inside out. “A book ought to be an ice pick to break up the frozen sea within us,” said Franz Kafka. Stories hold the power to transform the very society they are said to reflect, making storytelling among the highest of callings.The Language of FictionSome writers may consider the distinctions between situation and story, plot and story, and promise and theme as splitting hairs. However, understanding the language of craft and how it operates in the creation of fiction is as important as a musician learning to read notes and play scales. Incident, situation, plot, story, protagonist, antagonist, promise, and theme all establish the foundation upon which you can build any story you might want to write. Before we go any further, let’s define some of these important ideas.STORY AND PLOTThe child tucked into bed asks her mother, “Will you tell me a story?” The mother reads “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” or “Hansel and Gretel,” or perhaps the mother makes up a character and story, as many parents do. We all grow up with a sense of story, but what, in a technical sense, does story mean to a writer?In this book, story means the deepest meaning of a tale, while plot refers to the characters and the events that fulfill the story in a specific way. Story is deep; plot is mechanical, even if it is complex. Story is universal; plot is particular. Snow White and her friends, the dwarves, interact in a plot that demonstrates a story about trust. Hansel and Gretel exper...

What if you could work with your child, motivating and engaging them in the process, to create positive change once and for all? In this insightful and practical book, veteran psychologist Sharon Saline shares the words and inner struggles of children and teens living with ADHD-and a blueprint for achieving lasting success by working together.

Review “Short enough for a busy parent to actually read and use; utterly reliable and authoritative but never pedantic; wise, kind, and teeming with the chirping voices of children who have ADHD; this cornucopia of a book will feed you over and over again. Wonderfully written, infused with positive energy and solid information. All parents of children who have ADHD should buy it.” --Edward Hallowell, MD, bestselling author of Delivered from Distraction “We have many effective treatments and strategies to help kids with ADHD better manage daily life, but this book will provide that equally important intervention: feeling understood. I love how this book helps parents create a deeper relationship with their kids so that the whole family can thrive. --Ari Tuckman, PsyD, MBA, Author of More Attention, Less Deficit and Understand Your Brain, Get More Done “Dr. Saline helps parents understand the negative and positive thought patterns in their families, expose the components of unhelpful behaviors and, then, using her 5 C’s approach, guides them toward workable solutions. I highly recommend this book to assist parents in tuning up their abilities to see and hear their children’s signals more accurately, untie the knots of miscommunication, and improve everyone’s coping strategies for living with ADHD.” --Aaron T. Beck, M. D., Psychiatrist and Professor Emeritus University of Pennsylvania, Perelman School of Medicine “When I give presentations for parents of children with ADHD and executive skill challenges, my message to them is Most of these kids turn out fine!

Creatively developed, constructive in its advice, and compassionately written, this is t...

-Titulo Original : The Brave Learner Finding Everyday Magic In Homeschool, Learning, And Life-Fabricante : TarcherPerigee-Descripcion Original: Publishers Weekly bestseller - A joyful and accessible homeschool guide to making learning a part of everyday life Parents who are deeply invested in their childrens education can be hard on themselves and their kids. When exhausted parents are living the day-to-day grind, it can seem impossible to muster enough energy to make learning fun or interesting. How do parents nurture a love of learning amid childhood chaos, parental self-doubt, the flu, and state academic standards? In this book, Julie Bogart distills decades of experience--homeschooling her five now grown children, developing curricula, and training homeschooling families around the world--to show parents how to make education an exciting, even enchanting, experience for their kids, whether theyre in elementary or high school. Enchantment is about ease, not striving. Bogart shows parents how to make room for surprise, mystery, risk, and adventure in their familys routine, so they can create an environment that naturally moves learning forward. If a child wants to pick up a new hobby or explore a subject area that the parent knows little about, its easy to simply say no to end the discussion and the parental discomfort, while dousing their childs curious spark. Bogart gently invites parents to model brave learning for their kids so they, too, can approach life with curiosity, joy, and the courage to take learning risks. Review “A masterpiece. This is the deepest, most meaningful book on parenting I have ever read. If you want to raise your child to be a happy learner, whether via homeschooling or conventional schooling, read this book.” -Barbara Oakley, author of Learning How to Learn and A Mind for Numbers “Julie Bogart’s everyday magic is her knack for combining galvanizing inspiration and hands-on practicality. Her writing is frank, funny, and full of charm. Her approach to homeschooling-and to parenting in general-emphasizes a spirit of adventure and camaraderie, placing relationship at the center of a family’s educational journey. This is the guidebook I wish I’d had when I was starting out.” -Melissa Wiley, author of Fox and Crow Are Not Friends Success in homeschooling is more about mindset than method, and relationship than academic minutiae. Julie Bogart unpacks what this looks like for her in powerful and practical ways that will inspire you to personalize your own homeschool journey. -Heather Haupt, author of Knights in Training In The Brave Learner, Julie captures the essence of learning. Homeschooling is not about the schooling or even the home, but rather, it’s about people-their stories, hopes, needs, opportunities, communities, and future. The Brave Learner emphasizes this beautifully by moving between the vision and practice of homeschooling-not an easy transition to make. The book is a worthy read for any parent, whether they homeschool or not.” -Terry Heick, founder of TeachThought “Julie Bogart is tireless in providing ingenious and creative help for homeschoolers.” -Peter Elbow, Professor of English Emeritus, University of Massachusetts at Amherst “Breathes fresh life into your homeschool days. -Ainsley Arment, founder of Wild Free The Brave Learner is the book I would have adored as a young parent. Julies wise advice, genuine humor, and refreshing honesty wrapped me in a spirit of hope and possibility. This is a joyful book brimming with generous, practical ideas about how to live and teach at any age. I only wish I had more children! -Amy Ludwig VanDerwater, author of Forest Has a Song Julie’s voice is personable, encouraging, informative, and reassuring. The Brave Learner is filled with inspirational and practical tips on helping children thrive whether youre a homeschooling parent or not. -Charnaie Gordon, creator of Here Wee Read About the Author Julie Bogart is the creator of the award-winning, innovative Brave Writer program, teaching writing and language arts to thousands of families...

-Titulo Original : Out Of Your Mind A Journal And Coloring Book To Distract Your Anxious Mind-Fabricante : TarcherPerigee-Descripcion Original: An uplifting and calming collection of journal prompts and coloring pages to ease an anxious mind, from the popular artist behind @positivelypresent. Out of Your Mind is a must-have tool for anyone who’s feeling anxious. Filled with insightful questions to help you challenge anxious thoughts, soothing distraction exercises to bring you back to the moment, and uplifting coloring pages to encourage creativity, this book has a meaningful mix of activities. Not only will it help you stay in the moment when you’re anxious, but it will also equip you with strategies for the future. Journalers, doodlers, and coloring book fans are sure to find solace within these pages, one distraction at a time. About the Author Dani DiPirro is the creator of the popular account @positivelypresent. She has been featured on ELLE, Forbes, Glamour, and The Washington Post Express. DiPirro lives in Bethesda, Maryland. Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Introduction Welcome to Out of Your Mind! I’m Dani, and I created this activity filled book to provide you (and me!) with a positive distraction for your anxious mind. For years, lve created art and self-help content for my website, Positively Present, to help me cope with my anxiety. Recently l’ve realized that, while its great to soul-search and learn about the causes of (and coping mechanisms for) anxiety, what helps me the most when l’m in the thick of an anxiety spiral is doing something to get out of my own head. A creative distraction usually works best! Anxiety is inherently creative, which is why an outlet like this book can be so helpful for breaking the overthinking cycle. Even if you don’t feel like you’re a creative type, this is still the book for you. Its been designed using my own anxious mind to help you channel your creativity and quiet your anxiety. Distraction might sound like avoidance, and I certainly don’t want to encourage you to avoid feelings. Feelings should be felt but, as anyone with anxiety knows, sometimes you need a break from the feelings. Sometimes diving into a soul-searching book or journal isn’t what your anxious mind needs. This book is for those moments when you feel you can’t do anything, but you know doing something to completely numb your mind isn’t the best solution. Distraction is powerful, but it takes the right kind of distraction to stop you from dwelling on worried thoughts. I’ve designed these pages to be just the right amount of distraction-simple activities with enough depth to be meaningful. By channeling your creativity into this book, you can disrupt overthinking, embrace imaginative expression, explore your emotions in new ways, and maybe even defuse some of your anxiety. This book can be used in any order. Some pages are completely about mindless distraction-simple exercises or coloring pages while others dig a little deeper. Choose what works best for your current emotional state. If you turn to a page and it feels like its adding to your anxiety, flip to another one. Because the act of coloring has been known to help quell anxiety, most of the pages can be colored in, even if thats not their initial purpose, which provides a bonus creative outlet! As you work through these pages, remember: you dont have to be good at any of these things. You dont have to ace the activities or have stellar scribbling skills to benefit from this book. These pages are likely to help you interrupt your rumination, focus more on the present moment, increase your self-esteem through creativity, reduce overstimulation, experience playfulness, feel less stressed, and maybe even learn a thing or two about yourself! Im not saying this book is going to change your life...but it just might if you let it. Now, lets see what happens if you get out of your mind for a bit.....

-Titulo Original : Total Cat Mojo The Ultimate Guide To Life With Your Cat-Fabricante : TarcherPerigee-Descripcion Original: This comprehensive cat care guide from the star of the hit Animal Planet show My Cat from Hell, Jackson Galaxy, shows us how to eliminate feline behavioral problems by understanding cats instinctive behavior. Cat Mojo is the confidence that cats exhibit when they are at ease in their environment and in touch with their natural instincts-to hunt, catch, kill, eat, groom, and sleep. Problems such as litter box avoidance and aggression arise when cats lack this confidence. Jackson Galaxys number one piece of advice to his clients is to help their cats harness their mojo. This book is his most comprehensive guide yet to cat behavior and basic cat care, rooted in understanding cats better. From getting kittens off to the right start socially, to taking care of cats in their senior years, and everything in between, this book addresses the head-to-toe physical and emotional needs of cats-whether related to grooming, nutrition, play, or stress-free trips to the vet. About the Author Jackson Galaxy is a cat behaviorist and the host of Animal Planets hit show My Cat from Hell. He is the coauthor of the New York Times bestseller Catification: Designing a Happy and Stylish Home for Your Cat (and You!).

All rights reserved. ¿Que Es Mojo? I am in front of a large and very enthusiastic audience in Buenos Aires, while on a tour of Latin America. Over the course of the year, I’ve adjusted to speaking with a translator in places like Malaysia and Indonesia, and I had just been in Bogota and Mexico City. If you can have simultaneous translation, with the audience wearing headphones, it is a blessing beyond belief, because the audience is with you-the laughing, gasping, and applauding happens (one hopes) just a second or three later than with an English-speaking crowd. In the big scheme of things, it’s a minor inconvenience. But, when you and your translator switch off (you finish a full thought before he begins), well . . . it’s just a massive headache at best, an absolute kamikaze mission at worst. My translator would stand next to me, a ghost dodging my physical outbursts and stream-of-consciousness rants. The more excited I get, however, the less I remember to heed the presence or the needs of my “ghost.” Some translators, the ones who pride themselves as practitioners of a linguistic art form, allow me to get an entire paragraph out of my mouth before tapping me on the shoulder or giving me that sideways glance, in order to succinctly and with equal fervor catch the audience up. On this night in Buenos Aires, my translator isn’t that person. She is actually a newscaster who happens to be bilingual. It is not the most graceful dance, that’s for sure. There is much in the way of toe stepping on both of our parts. Improvisation aside, I always introduce the concept of Cat Mojo early in the show. It’s the linchpin of my entire presentational spiel. That introduction, on this night, is firing on all cylinders; I’m feeling it for sure, as I attempt to occupy the space between cat guy and Pentecostal revivalist. I’m breathlessly demonstrating what a Mojo-fied cat looks like, shamelessly preening, modeling the tail and ear postures, the overall gait of confidence. This all culminates at that moment when I say, “And what do we call this? Man, we call this Cat Mojo. Your cat. Has . . . MOJO.” I allow that statement to reverberate. And it reverberates for entirely too long, going from a drama-filled beat to an awkward silence. I give my translator that sideways glance. Nothing comes out of h...

-Titulo Original : Brainstorm The Power And Purpose Of The Teenage Brain-Fabricante : TarcherPerigee-Descripcion Original: In this New York Times-bestselling book, Dr. Daniel Siegel shows parents how to turn one of the most challenging developmental periods in their children’s lives into one of the most rewarding. Between the ages of twelve and twenty-four, the brain changes in important and, at times, challenging ways. In Brainstorm, Dr. Daniel Siegel busts a number of commonly held myths about adolescence-for example, that it is merely a stage of “immaturity” filled with often “crazy” behavior. According to Siegel, during adolescence we learn vital skills, such as how to leave home and enter the larger world, connect deeply with others, and safely experiment and take risks. Drawing on important new research in the field of interpersonal neurobiology, Siegel explores exciting ways in which understanding how the brain functions can improve the lives of adolescents, making their relationships more fulfilling and less lonely and distressing on both sides of the generational divide. Review Brainstorm is a must read book for every parent if they want to avoid emotional turbulence in their own lives as their children go through adolescence. Its lifesaving for the whole family. -Deepak Chopra, MD “Brainstorm is eye-opening and inspiring, a great gift to us all-teens, parents of teens, and anyone who wants a full and rich life on this planet. Daniel Siegel shows how the supposed downsides of the teen years all have upsides, and that the lessons for living that await teens are ones any of us, at any age, can learn from.” -Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence Siegel emerges as a bighearted writer, fully convinced that we all possess the fundamental virtues to navigate the choppy waters of adolescence, and he is eager for us to set them loose, working with adolescents to cultivate the positive aspects-and he is hugely convincing of the intense engagement and creativity that often accompany this time period in a person’s life. Smart advice...on providing the most supportive and brain-healthy environment during the tumultuous years of adolescence. -KIRKUS REVIEWS “This book is chock-full of cutting-edge knowledge as well as a deep compassion for teenagers, the adults they will become, and the teenagers in all of us.” -Alanis Morisette “Brainstormis a necessary look at why adolescents do what they do that can put parents in an emotional frenzy. The information that Dr. Dan Siegel shares is not only invaluable for understanding your growing childs brain, but helps build more compassion and patience. A gift for us all.” -Goldie Hawn By the end of this book, the teenager has been transformed from a monstrous force into a thinking, feeling, and entirely approachable human being. -PUBLISHERS WEEKLY “I strongly recommend Brainstorm to teens and those who care for them.” -Mary Pipher, author of Reviving Ophelia “‘You just don’t get me’ is a common refrain from teenagers to their parents and teachers. Adolescents who read this book will discover that Daniel Siegel gets them . . . This respectfulness is why the book works so well as a manual for adolescents, as well as for their parents and mentors.” -Lawrence Cohen, author of The Opposite of Worry About the Author Daniel J. Siegel, M.D., is clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine, founding codirector of the UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center, and executive director of the Mindsight Institute.

-Titulo Original : The Out-of-sync Child, Third Edition Recognizing And Coping With Sensory Processing Differences (the Out-of-sync Child Series)-Fabricante : TarcherPerigee-Descripcion Original: The groundbreaking book that explains Sensory Processing Differences (SPD)--and presents a drug-free approach that offers hope for parents--now in a newly updated third edition (2022). Does your child exhibit... Over-responsivity--or under-responsivity--to touch or movement? A child with SPD may be a sensory avoider, withdrawing from touch, refusing to wear certain clothing, avoiding active games--or he may be a sensory straggler, needing a jump start to get moving. Over-responsivity--or under-responsivity--to sensations of sound, sight, taste, or smell? She may cover her ears or eyes, be a picky eater, or seem oblivious to sensory cues. Cravings for sensation? The sensory craver never gets enough of certain sensations, e.g., messy play, spicy food, noisy action, and perpetual movement. Poor sensory discrimination? The sensory jumbler may not sense the difference between objects or experiences--unaware of what shes holding unless she looks, and unable to sense when shes falling or how to catch herself. Unusually high or low activity level? The child may be constantly on the go--wearing out everyone around him--or move slowly and tire easily, showing little interest in the world. Problems with posture or motor coordination? The sensory slumper may slouch and move awkwardly, and the sensory fumbler may be clumsy or accident-prone. These are often the first clues to Sensory Processing Differences--a common but frequently misdiagnosed problem in which the central nervous system misinterprets messages from the senses. The Out-of-Sync Child offers comprehensive, clear information for parents, teachers, and professionals--and a drug-free treatment approach for children. This revised edition includes expanded information about SPD look-alikes, including Learning Disabilities, ADHD, and autism; about diagnosis and treatments; and about other topics. Review It is great to see this old favourite book updated ... and I cannot recommend it enough -- Sensory Integration Education Review by Lelanie Brewer, Director of Student Development at Sensory Integration Education The Out-of Sync Child, written by Carol Stock Kranowitz, a teacher with over 25-years of experience, has been an informative and helpful resource for many parents, therapists and educators since the first edition was published in 1998. This third edition, as with previous editions, includes useful suggestions and practical help to parents who have never heard of sensory processing difficulties and who are aware that their children dont quite fit in but are not sure how to help them. This book is not only relevant for parents; it is also for teachers, parents, grandparents, therapists, doctors and anyone else involved in the care of children with sensory processing difficulties. The book is divided into two parts: Part One discusses the characteristics of sensory processing difficulties and includes case study scenarios which help to explain how difficulties with sensory processing can impact on everyday life. In Part Two, intervention options are discussed, and this section also includes ideas for a sensory-enriched life and suggestions for home and the classroom. For this third edition the title has been updated from Recognizing and Coping with Sensory Processing Disorder to Recognizing and Coping with Sensory Processing Differences to align closer to updated terminology in this scientific field as new knowledge evolves. For example, in an upcoming assessment, the Sensory Processing 3-Dimensions Scale (SP3D), the presence of sensory differences will be measured along a continuum, ranging from mild to severe. Differences also refer to the fact that individuals process sensations in their own unique way, which does not necessarily mean ill health. Whilst Chapter 2 in Part One provides useful information on how sensory processing differences can impact on participation of daily activities, Chapter 3 (which is a ne...

-Titulo Original : Qbq! The Question Behind The Question Practicing Personal Accountability At Work And In Life-Fabricante : TarcherPerigee-Descripcion Original: Who Moved My Cheese? showed readers how to adapt to change. Fish! helped raise flagging morale. Execution guided readers to overcome the inability to get things done. QBQ! The Question Behind the Question, already a phenomenon in its self-published edition, addresses the most important issue in business and society today: personal accountability. The lack of personal accountability has resulted in an epidemic of blame, complaining, and procrastination. No organization-or individual-can achieve goals, compete in the marketplace, fulfill a vision, or develop people and teams without personal accountability. The solution involves an entirely new approach. We can no longer ask, Who dropped the ball? Why cant they do their work properly? or Why do we have to go through all these changes? Instead, every individual has to ask the question behind the question: How can I improve this situation? What can I contribute? or How can I make a difference? Succinct, insightful, and practical, QBQ! The Question Behind the Question provides a method for putting personal accountability into daily action, which can bring astonishing results: problems get solved, barriers come down, service improves, teamwork grows, and people adapt to change. From Publishers Weekly This is a quick but deep book that explores the role of personal accountability in ones work and personal life. In his own work experience, Miller found that many people look for others to blame their problems and conflicts on. He proposes that instead of asking who is to blame for the situation, we should ask, What can I do to improve the situation? Only by being able to ask this question behind the question can we take ownership of the problem and start working toward a solution. Throughout the book, Miller (who has consulted for major corporations with his firm, QBQ, Inc.) recounts real-world situations-in customer service, retail sales, personal relationships and the corporate boardroom-and the positive and not-so-positive ways they were handled. Each example reinforces the message that personal accountability and ownership of a problem not only leads to a resolution but also lifts people willing to take ownership and action above those looking to play the blame game. From responsibility, says the author, comes leadership and greater career opportunities. In ones personal life, Miller says, ownership of conflict can also lead to enhanced relationships and greater enjoyment of daily life. Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. From the Inside Flap The lack of personal accountability is a problem that has resulted in an epidemic of blame, complaining, and procrastination. No organization-or individual-can achieve goals, compete in the marketplace, fulfill a vision, or develop people and teams without personal accountability. John G. Miller believes that pointing fingers and blaming others cannot solve the troubles that plague organizations. Rather, the real solutions are found when each of us recognizes the power of personal accountability. In QBQ! The Question Behind the Question, Miller explains how negative, inappropriate questions like Why do we have to go through all this change? and Who dropped the ball? represent a lack of personal accountability. Conversely, when we ask better questions-QBQs-such as What can I do to contribute? or How can I help solve the problem? our lives and our organizations are transformed. The QBQ! Promise This remarkable and timely book gives a practical method for putting personal accountability into daily action, with astonishing results: problems are solved, internal barriers come down, service improves, teamwork grows, and people adapt to change more quickly. QBQ! is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to learn, grow, and change. Using this tool, each of us can add tremendous worth to our organizations and to our lives by eliminat...

-Titulo Original : Let Your Light Shine How Mindfulness Can Empower Children And Rebuild Communities-Fabricante : TarcherPerigee-Descripcion Original: This story of three mens work helping traumatized kids in one of America’s most underserved cities reveals how mindfulness tools can help children and communities not only survive but thrive In this inspiring book, founders of The Holistic Life Foundation Ali Smith, Atman Smith, and Andres Gonzalez describe how they have spent the past twenty years teaching yoga, meditation, and breathwork to thousands of at-risk kids in Baltimore schools helping them to develop deep reserves of patience, empathy, resolve, and-when needed-the righteous anger that fuels deep structural change. Their work has received wide national attention due to their remarkable results: The schools that have participated in their programs have seen suspension rates plummet and graduation rates go through the roof. Ali and Atman discovered as young children the power of mindfulness practices to sustain them through the challenges of growing up in a neighborhood in Baltimore that was struggling with poverty and violence-a community they now serve. The Holistic Life Foundation’s mission is to empower kids to find this same stillness and light within themselves and to let it shine out to help change the world. In this book, Ali, Atman and Andres share hands-on mindfulness and meditation tools readers can teach kids that will empower them to do this same work in their own communities. Let Your Light Shine is essential reading for parents, educators, activists, and anyone looking to make a difference in the lives of young people. Review “[Let Your Light Shine] shares the strategies that have given thousands of kids that edge that allows them to survive and succeed: be it love, support, self-confidence, or simply a friendly ear at a moment when no one else is listening.” -from the foreword by Bessel A. van der Kolk, MD, New York Times bestselling author of The Body Keeps the Score “Let Your Light Shine captures the originality, insight and most importantly, the brother-love that make Ali, Andy, and Atman’s work so vital and effective. Blending wisdom from their own Baltimore-based Black community and family with 2,500-year-old teachings originally offered in India, this trauma-sensitive, engaging book is just the contribution to the mindfulness movement that we need right now.” -Rhonda V. Magee, MA, JD, author of The Inner Work of Racial Justice These guys are my heroes. For years, they have brought meditation and yoga to the children of struggling communities in Baltimore - work that repeated rounds of scientific research have shown to be immensely beneficial. Now, in this book, they show you how to work with your own mind, with the minds of the kids in your life, and with a world that can be both beautiful and cruel. Check it out. -Dan Harris, #1 New York Times bestselling author of 10% Happier How to change a world so challenged by mistrust, trauma and systematic racism? Let your Light Shine is a primer written with heart, honesty and truth. It is written for all who take the time to really care. It reveals how a difference can be made if we look within and change ourselves first. Then we can help the next generation with love, listening and learned skills. Ali, Altman and Andres speak with profound experience and give us the very tools we need. -Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and Real Change “Honesty, raw and inspiring wisdom, a powerful blend of deep insights into the real world we live in and the practical tools to build individuals and communities-these are brilliantly woven into the narrative tapestry that fills Let Your Light Shine with a compelling invitation to dig deep and love broadly. Written by three co-authors and illuminated throughout by Uncle Will as mentor and spiritual guide, this book is not organized with the typical topic, discussion, and application structure. Instead, it is, like life itself, an open conversation between these gifted mindfulness teachers, with their long history creating and r...

When I was a kid, I begged Santa Claus for a Radio Shack 50-in-1 Electronic Projects Kit. The kit consisted of a “circuit board” with numerous capacitors, resistors, LEDs, and a buzzer for auditory output. For each project, you would connect various components with wires and then flip a switch and see what happens. It was great fun, and it contributed to my continued interest in science and engineering. Now that I’m a parent, though, I’ve outgrown the Radio Shack science kit and moved on to an experimental apparatus of significantly higher complexity: the baby. My kids are the most fun, intriguing, surprising (and exhausting) research subjects I have ever had the privilege to conduct weird and wacky experiments on. I’ve spent hours upon hours trying to figure out the optimal way to hold a baby to get him to fall asleep quickly-only to discover, as many parents have, that what works for one baby does not work at all for another. I’ve tried at least 20 different techniques to get a toddler to eat his peas. (The winner: “Please, whatever you do, don’t eat your peas.”) I’ve tracked my baby’s acquisition of fine motor skills based on how gently he touches my face- it progresses from painful scratching to awkward poking to soft whisker stroking. I’ve seen how early babies’ unique personalities emerge. Even at a few weeks old, you can already sense how their gears are turning by the way they look at you and obse...

-Titulo Original : Imbibe! Updated And Revised Edition From Absinthe Cocktail To Whiskey Smash, A Salute In Stories And Drinks To Professor Jerry Thomas, Pioneer Of The American Bar-Fabricante : TarcherPerigee-Descripcion Original: The newly updated edition of David Wondrich’s definitive guide to classic American cocktails. Cocktail writer and historian David Wondrich presents the colorful, little-known history of classic American drinks--and the ultimate mixologists guide--in this engaging homage to Jerry Thomas, father of the American bar. Wondrich reveals never-before-published details and stories about this larger-than-life nineteenth-century figure, along with definitive recipes for more than 100 punches, cocktails, sours, fizzes, toddies, slings, and other essential drinks, along with detailed historical and mixological notes. The first edition, published in 2007, won a James Beard Award. Now updated with newly discovered recipes and historical information, this new edition includes the origins of the first American drink, the Mint Julep (which Wondrich places before the American Revolution), and those of the Cocktail itself. It also provides more detail about 19th century spirits, many new and colorful anecdotes and details about Thomass life, and a number of particularly notable, delicious, and influential cocktails not covered in the original edition, rounding out the picture of pre-Prohibition tippling. This colorful and good-humored volume is a must-read for anyone who appreciates the timeless appeal of a well-made drink-and the uniquely American history behind it. Review This isnt just nostalgia or hipster, artisanal stuff or tongue-in-cheek. David Wondrich is a serious historian that recognized that an American art form had been interrupted in its prime. And it would actually take serious painstaking work to revive it...Because of him, more than because of anybody else, we are in the midst of a national renaissance, something that we by right own as a country. --Rachel Maddow David Wondrich is a such an envy-producing polymath that it drives me to drink. Brilliant historian, beautiful writer, former punk rocker, absinthe-maker, mixological marvel, and perhaps, yes, even WIZARD. Plus he can grow an amazing beard. There are few people in the world I rely on to be so authoritative and so entertaining all at once, and to mix an amazing cocktail at the same time. And those few people are DAVID WONDRICH. -John Hodgman, author of The Areas of My Expertise [Jerry] Thomas finally gets his due in Imbibe!....Mr. Wondrich puts the drinks in context, with their ingredients explained, their measurements accurately indicated, and their place in the overall cocktail scheme clearly mapped out. At the same time, Thomas himself appears, for the first time, as a living presence: a devotee of bare-knuckle prize fights, a flashy dresser fond of kid gloves, an art collector, a restless traveler usually carrying a fat wad of bank notes and a gold Parisian watch. A player, in short. -William Grimes, The New York Times This book will leave you shaken and, I hope, stirred. Wondrich, one of the top spirits writers in the country, delves into the rich and fascinating history of mixology in America. -USA Today Imbibe brings back the delicious forgotten cocktails created by a pioneering American bon vivant....This book is a model for food history writing....[Wondrich is] always an enjoyable writer, curious, eager, mildly opinionated and with a taste for the amusing. -The Los Angeles Times Cocktail connoisseurs and history buffs will find this book an essential addition to their reference libraries. -The San Francisco Chronicle Wondrich offers what amounts to a history of industrial-age America writ in booze, covering everything from punches, fizzes, and sours to toddies, slings, and juleps. -Saveur, Top Ten Reads How and why America rose to world preeminence in mixology is explained zestfully in Imbibe!. -Forbes With Imbibe!, David Wondrichs biography of 19-century mixologist Jerry Thomas, cocktails do the time warp. -New York Daily News Wondrich delivers a well-researched chronicle of Professor Jerry Thomass ...

-Titulo Original : Slow Birding The Art And Science Of Enjoying The Birds In Your Own Backyard-Fabricante : TarcherPerigee-Descripcion Original: A one-of-a-kind guide to birding locally that encourages readers to slow down and notice the spectacular birds all around them. Many birders travel far and wide to popular birding destinations to catch sight of rare or “exotic” birds. In Slow Birding, evolutionary biologist Joan E. Strassmann introduces readers to the joys of birding right where they are. In this inspiring guide to the art of slow birding, Strassmann tells colorful stories of the most common birds to be found in the United States-birds we often see but might not have considered deeply before. For example, northern cardinals thrive in the city, where they are free from predators. White brows on a male white-throated sparrow indicate that he is likely to be a philanderer. This essential guide to the fascinating world of common, everyday birds features: detailed portraits of individual bird species and the scientists who have discovered and observed them advice and guidance on what to look for when slow birding, so that you can uncover clues to the reasons behind specific bird behaviors bird-focused activities that will open your eyes more to the fascinating world of birds Slow Birding is the perfect guide for the birder looking to appreciate the beauty of the birds right in their own backyard, observing keenly how their behaviors change from day to day and season to season. Review “For those of us who enjoy the birds in our backyard, Joan Strassmann’s book is a must. It is much more than the usual guide to identification and distribution. It delves into the science, adding to our knowledge of each bird’s behavior, biology, and special adaptations.” -FRANS DE WAAL, author of Different: Gender Through the Eyes of a Primatologist “For the last four decades Joan Strassmann has been doing cutting-edge work in the area of animal behavior and evolution. Now she aims that expertise at birds in her (and your) backyard. Strassmann makes a compelling case for slowing down and savoring the feathered wonders all around us.” -LEE ALAN DUGATKIN, PhD, author of How to Tame a Fox (and Build a Dog) and Power in the Wild “Like all the best nature books, Slow Birding is about much more than its titular topic. Yes, it is about birding, but it is also about history, geography, psychology-and most of all, how to see, really see, the ordinary things around you. Slow Birding will show you your own backyard as you have never seen it before.” -MARLENE ZUK, professor of ecology, evolution, and behavior, University of Minnesota, author of Paleofantasy and Dancing Cockatoos and the Dead Man Test “There are birders who race around trying to see as many species as possible, and there are birders who are more interested in the behavior and history of the birds they see every day. Joan Strassmann is one of the latter, and here in Slow Birding she provides a manifesto of this approach. Reading this book will convince you to follow Strassmann’s suggestion and pull out a lightweight, easily carried chair, sit down with your binoculars, and watch; you may never bird the fast way again.” -WALT KOENIG, retired senior scientist, Cornell Lab of Ornithology “Just as a course in art appreciation can enhance your visit to a museum, slow birding can enhance your time with birds. Slow Birding is a book to appreciate and return to.” -ELLEN KETTERSON, distinguished professor of biology, Indiana University, and author of Snowbird “Slow down, birders, and savor the soap opera, all the sexual infidelities, sibling rivalries, inheritance disputes, and instances of parents playing favorites, unfolding right in your own neighborhood. . . . Strassmann provides character sketches and social histories of some of our most commonly sighted winged dinosaurs.” -SARAH BLAFFER HRDY, author of The Woman That Never Evolved and Mother Nature Review “For those of us who enjoy the birds in our backyard, Joan Strassmann’s book is a must. It is much more than the usual guide to identification and d...

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Introduction Twenty-five years ago I wrote a book on creativity called The Artist’s Way. It spelled out, in a step-by-step fashion, just what a person could do to recover-and exercise-their creativity. I often called that book “The Bridge” because it allowed people to move from the shore of their constrictions and fears to the promised land of deeply fulfilling creativity. The Artist’s Way was used by people of all ages, but I found my just-retired students the most poignant. I sensed in them a particular problem set that came with maturity. Over the years, many of them asked me for help dealing with issues specific to transitioning out of the work force. The book you hold in your hands is the distillate of a quarter century’s teaching. It is my attempt to answer, “What next?” for students who are embarking on their “second act.” In this book you will find the common problems facing the newly retired: too much time, lack of structure, a sense that our physical surroun...

-Titulo Original : The Happy Sleeper The Science-backed Guide To Helping Your Baby Get A Good Nights Sleep-newborn To School Age-Fabricante : TarcherPerigee-Descripcion Original: Many parents feel pressured to “train” babies and young children to sleep, but kids don’t need to be trained to sleep, they’re built to sleep.

In The Happy Sleeper, child sleep experts Heather Turgeon and Julie Wright show parents how to be sensitive and nurturing, but also clear and structured so that babies and young children develop the self-soothing skills they need to: * Fall asleep independently * Sleep through the night * Take healthy naps * Grow into natural, optimal sleep patterns for day and night The Happy Sleeper is a research-based guide to helping children do what comes naturally-sleep through the night.
