Historia
A man awakens in a clearing in what appears to be medieval England with no memory of who he is, where he came from, or why he is there. Chased by a group from his own time, his sole hope for survival lies in regaining his missing memories, making allies among the locals, and perhaps even trusting in their superstitious boasts. His only help from the “real world” should have been a guidebook entitled The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England, except his copy exploded during transit.

interesting mix of science-fiction and fantasy. It''s own novel, standing outside of the cosmere, but still has Sanderson's trademark humor. excellent.

this book should be read by every American
Revisado: 08-13-18
This novel encapsulates the essence of the United States. Adiche does not falter in her honesty no matter the topic. In this book, I finally have heard someone fairly and honestly discuss the severe racial divide this country had. Perhaps if more people read this book, we would not clan members and Nazi supporters proudly standing outside of the white house.

Historia
Neil deGrasse Tyson has a talent for guiding readers through the mysteries of outer space with stunning clarity and almost childlike enthusiasm. This collection of his essays from Natural History magazine explores a myriad of cosmic topics. Tyson introduces us to the physics of black holes by explaining what would happen to our bodies if we fell into one; he also examines the needless friction between science and religion, and notes Earth's status as "an insignificantly small speck in the cosmos".

Historia
Why do some children thrive and others struggle? The answers may surprise you. New research indicates that the seeds for adult success are actually planted in the toddler years. Dr. Tovah Klein's research and firsthand work with thousands of toddlers explains why the toddler brain is best suited to laying the foundation for success. Dr. Klein reveals the new science behind drivers such as resilience, self-reliance, self-regulation, and empathy that are more critical to success than simple intelligence.

If you could sum up How Toddlers Thrive in three words, what would they be?
Introspective, Methodical, Approachable!
What was one of the most memorable moments of How Toddlers Thrive?
I especially liked the numerous examples provided by this author. In particular, I liked this author's emphasis on routine and how she highlighted this idea through real world experience. In this example, Klein tells us of a student who came to class in tears because he had not hit the button- an action that become part of his daily routine. Klein asks the mother to take her son to the elevator to fulfill the student's routine so that he can move onto class time. The boy quiets, completes his task, and happily goes to class!
What about Tovah P. Klein PhD and Sarah Jessica Parker - foreword ’s performance did you like?
I do not like Sarah Jessica Parker's voice.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
no.
Any additional comments?
Great book, but the voices were very raspy.

great intro for newbies
Revisado: 06-04-15
this book really motivates you to keep working at improving your health. Lindsey also gives tips and ideas on how to deal with life situations that after transitioning to a plant-based diet may be a little stressful, such as dinner parties. I would recommend this book to anyone considering , or is simply curious, about living on a plant-based diet.
