Is that supposed to be Dora and Paul?ĭo please share any other cover images you’ve got of your copies of this one – although surely there can’t be any MORE editions? Tweet them to me, pop them on Facebook for my attention or use the email address you can find on my Contact Form. Reader Peter Rivenberg has sent me some fabulous cover images from his copies, including our first French one! The first one has an image from the BBC production, which I’ve never seen. While there has been writing about Michael (notably by Pamela Osborn) I still push back against his actively predatory nature. The thing that surprised me most about the outcomes of getting 25 book groups to read the book is that so many of them saw it through the lens of modern-day events and preoccupations, some describing Michael as a predatory paedophile, with many fewer taking exception to the much more clearly evidenced instance of drunk driving. Because I studied it for half of my research project (find out more here), I know more about what other people think of this book than certainly any other Murdoch, and probably any other book in the world. This is such a funny one for me to review. In fact, 97% of those who take it change at least one driving behavior.Īnd the best part?

These tools were not new to me, but in his exploration of them, he offers insights and perspectives based on his extensive research that are worthwhile to read and to reinforce important lessons I’ve gotten from experience of other sources. He offers eight major tools for improving productivity and success in one’s endeavors, explored in eight separate chapters. An enjoyable, interesting, and easy read, with a number of great stories to help make his points and back up his arguments. He broke his findings and discussion into 8 chapters: Motivation, Teams, Focus, Goal Setting, Managing Others, Decisions Making, Innovation, Absorbing Data, and he concludes with an Appendix which shares how HE used these lessons. He decided this was a common problem, and decided to explore solutions that went beyond the good habits he’d written about in Power of Habit, so researched what had worked for others to see if their tools might work for him. Summary in 3 sentences: Duhigg was personally struggling to be well enough organized and motivated to be as productive as he felt he could/shold be, and wanted to explore ways to improve his own productivity. Why this book: Selected by two reading groups I’m in, based on Jay’s recommendation and the outstanding reviews of Duhigg’s Power of Habit. Volume one takes us from the ravages of the Great War to the outbreak of the Second World War, when Harry must decide whether to take up a place at Oxford, or join the navy and go to war with Hitler’s Germany. Only Time Will Tell covers the years from 1920 to 1940, and includes a cast of memorable characters that The Times has compared to The Forsyte Saga. Is he the son of Arthur Clifton, a stevedore who worked in Bristol docks, or the first born son of a scion of West Country society, whose family owns the Barrington Shipping Line? The epic tale of Harry Clifton’s life begins in 1920, with the chilling words, ‘I was told my father was killed in the war.’īut it will be another twenty years before Harry discovers how his father really died, which will only lead him to question who was his father? The book was called obscene and tasteless, and Whitman was chastised for verse that seemed to describe a multitude of sexual proclivities - many condemned by society at the time. Other reviewers, however, were not as kind to the book and focused on its sexual themes. He wrote the initial edition of the book in the early 1850's and published it in 1855 to several glowing reviews from literary titans such as Ralph Waldo Emerson. Whitman first began writing Leaves of Grass after failed attempts at newspaper publishing and teaching. His "songs" are songs of democracy and freedom, of an unwavering belief in patriotism, and of the promise of American freedom. Whitman first began writing Leaves just seventy-five years after the American Revolution and only several decades after the formative political administrations that first shaped the country. On another level, it is a song of and for America. He writes of the spiritual nature of his path and his experiences of war, peace, love, and death. First, it is Whitman's own chronicle of his journey through eighteenth century America. As one scholar has noted, Leaves of Grass has undergone more than a century of "abuse and worship." Its greatness has been the topic of much debate for over 150 years. Yet other critics have found the work obscene. Leaves of Grass has been considered by many critics to be the first and best example of American poetry, and Whitman to have been the first major American poet. It is an extraordinary keepsake to be treasured and listened to again and again. This exclusive audio boxed set of Tolkien's elegant masterpiece is one that will delight fans young and old. Slip through the shadows and you, too, may catch the whisper of harp-song on the winds of the high air above the mists of the world. Dazzlingly performed by Martin Shaw, it sparkles with the magic of the dawn of time-when Elves and Men roamed a world set spinning through space by the haunting music of supernatural choirs. One of Englands most popular actors for more than four decades, Martin Shaw is noted for his versatility. The Silmarillion is told here in a brilliantly faceted audio production, with all the glory of the First Age itself. Sit at the feet of the most beloved storyteller of the 20th century and hear how the world came to be. It is to this ancient drama that the characters in The Lord of the Rings so often look back to. The Silmarillion tells of the Elder Days, of the First Age of Tolkien's World, when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle Earth, and the High Elves made war upon them for the recovery of the Silmarils, the jewels containing the pure light of Valinor. He is extremely prolific (one further reason for his Richard Bachman experiment was that he told he was only allowed to publish one book a year) but his short stories can be trim and taut with not a single extraneous word. King is probably most famous for writing epic doorstopper novels like The Stand at 1,152 pages or It at 1,138 pages, not to mention the Dark Tower series which. The Shawshank Redemption or Stand by Me don't really seem like the kind of things you'd expect from someone who came up with malevolent dancing sewer clowns. He's written horror stories that have become embedded in the popular consciousness but he's also written non-horror stories that surprise people to find out he was behind them. As an experiment, wondering if his success was all due to luck, he published a series of novels under a pen name and those became success stories as well. There are few awards for writing horror that he has not won, and few accolades he has not received. He's sold more than 350 million copies of his books, has published sixty-four novels, five nonfiction books, hundreds of short stories, beat alcoholism, and was run over by a minivan. I'm going to do it anyway since that's what I do here. Stephen Edwin King (Septem-) is probably one of the most well-known writers alive today, and as such needs no introduction. How Are the Tropical and Temperate Forests Similar and Different?ġ. If there is even one tree, one blade of grass or one weed poking up through a crack in the playground, you can use it for these lessons. The most important thing teachers can do is to bring children outside, introduce them to the wonders of nature and help to connect them to the natural world. Children need open space to spend unstructured time in, to explore and to connect with the natural world.Ĭhildren can help save land in their own communities. The forests and natural areas in our own back yards are in need of saving, too.They, too, are habitat for many living things. I am writing this curriculum to try to remedy this. But what I have found, in traveling around the country and speaking at schools and conferences, is that often teaching about the rain forest precludes hands-on teaching about living breathing ecosystems with actual forays out into the real world of nature. Introduction: I wrote The Great Kapok Tree so that children would know about the threat to the world’s rain forests and, hopefully, try to save them.Ĭhildren have raised thousands of dollars to protect rain forest, especially the Monteverde rain forest in Costa Rica. For use with The Great Kapok Tree, The Shaman’s Apprentice and Flute’s Journey It also introduces an extraordinary young writer, with huge ambition and a teeming imagination. The Bone Season introduces a compelling heroine - a young woman learning to harness her powers in a world where everything has been taken from her. But if she wants to regain her freedom, Paige will have to learn something of his mind and his own mysterious motives. Paige is assigned to a Rephaite keeper, Warden, who will be in charge of her care and training. These creatures, the Rephaim, value the voyants highly - as soldiers in their army. The voyant prison is a separate city - Oxford, erased from the map two centuries ago and now controlled by a powerful, otherworldly race. Paige is a dreamwalker, a rare kind of clairvoyant, and in this world, the voyants commit treason simply by breathing.īut when Paige is captured and arrested, she encounters a power more sinister even than Scion. The work she does is unusual: scouting for information by breaking into others' minds. Paige Mahoney works in the criminal underworld of Scion London, part of a secret cell known as the Seven Seals. Several major world cities are under the control of a security force called Scion. |
