Download or read book Diamond Course Photo Reading written by Silviu Vasile and published by Silviu Vasile. This book was released on with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells you a lot about speed reading and photography. You are in the privileged position from which you can continue to increase your reading speed while maintaining the same rate of comprehension of the text. The course is complex, but you can choose exactly those techniques that suit you best. All of these techniques can be reduced to two or three main techniques that you have seen work for you and those you can keep exploring and, why not, improving. Speed reading can be condensed into a single sentence, but that doesn't change the facts of the matter. If I want to go to the gym because I want to have a worked body and the trainer shows me the exercises I need to do in a session, that doesn't automatically mean I'll look good. It's one thing to learn technique in a few minutes and another to exercise every day. You need willpower, discipline and determination to repeat the basic exercises daily. Without constant effort you cannot achieve results. If you go to the gym three times a week then you start to form a habit, and this habit helps you to live in the culture of sport. Being connected to the information in that sport and being able to generate so much enthusiasm that it counteracts your desire to give up the fight and return to your comfort zone. That's why I wrote about speed reading, to start living in the culture of this wonderful field. You have speed reading on your side. With it, you can get to break the 1000 words per minute barrier. That means you'll be able to read four times faster than the average person with the same or even better comprehension of the text.

Download or read book The World Until Yesterday written by Jared Diamond and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-12-31 with total page 727 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bestselling author of Collapse and Guns, Germs and Steel surveys the history of human societies to answer the question: What can we learn from traditional societies that can make the world a better place for all of us? “As he did in his Pulitzer Prize-winning Guns, Germs, and Steel, Jared Diamond continues to make us think with his mesmerizing and absorbing new book." Bookpage Most of us take for granted the features of our modern society, from air travel and telecommunications to literacy and obesity. Yet for nearly all of its six million years of existence, human society had none of these things. While the gulf that divides us from our primitive ancestors may seem unbridgeably wide, we can glimpse much of our former lifestyle in those largely traditional societies still or recently in existence. Societies like those of the New Guinea Highlanders remind us that it was only yesterday—in evolutionary time—when everything changed and that we moderns still possess bodies and social practices often better adapted to traditional than to modern conditions.The World Until Yesterday provides a mesmerizing firsthand picture of the human past as it had been for millions of years—a past that has mostly vanished—and considers what the differences between that past and our present mean for our lives today. This is Jared Diamond’s most personal book to date, as he draws extensively from his decades of field work in the Pacific islands, as well as evidence from Inuit, Amazonian Indians, Kalahari San people, and others. Diamond doesn’t romanticize traditional societies—after all, we are shocked by some of their practices—but he finds that their solutions to universal human problems such as child rearing, elder care, dispute resolution, risk, and physical fitness have much to teach us. Provocative, enlightening, and entertaining, The World Until Yesterday is an essential and fascinating read.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There's more to me than most people see. Twelve-year-old Willow would rather blend in than stick out. But she still wants to be seen for who she is. She wants her parents to notice that she is growing up. She wants her best friend to like her better than she likes a certain boy. She wants, more than anything, to mush the dogs out to her grandparents' house, by herself, with Roxy in the lead. But sometimes when it's just you, one mistake can have frightening consequences . . . And when Willow stumbles, it takes a surprising group of friends to help her make things right again. Using diamond-shaped poems inspired by forms found in polished diamond willow sticks, Helen Frost tells the moving story of Willow and her family. Hidden messages within each diamond carry the reader further, into feelings Willow doesn't reveal even to herself. Diamond Willow is a 2009 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

It contains contributions from anthropologists, from cultural, literary and film critics and from image makers themselves.

Download or read book The Reading Lesson written by Patrick Brantlinger and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 1998-12-22 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[Brantlinger's] writing is admirably lucid, his knowledge impressive and his thesis a welcome reminder of the class bias that so often accompanies denunciations of popular fiction." —Publishers Weekly "Brantlinger is adept at discussing both the fiction itself and the social environment in which that fiction was produced and disseminated. He brings to his study a thorough knowledge of traditional and contemporary scholarship, which results in an important scholarly book on Victorian fiction and its production." —Choice "Timely, scrupulously researched, thoroughly enlightening, and steadily readable. . . . A work of agenda-setting historical scholarship." —Garrett Stewart Fear of mass literacy stalks the pages of Patrick Brantlinger's latest book. Its central plot involves the many ways in which novels and novel reading were viewed—especially by novelists themselves—as both causes and symptoms of rotting minds and moral decay among nineteenth-century readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *NOW A NETFLIX LIMITED SERIES—from producer and director Shawn Levy (Stranger Things) starring Mark Ruffalo, Hugh Laurie, and newcomer Aria Mia Loberti* Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist, the beloved instant New York Times bestseller and New York Times Book Review Top 10 Book about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II. Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris, and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel. In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the Resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge. Doerr’s “stunning sense of physical detail and gorgeous metaphors” (San Francisco Chronicle) are dazzling. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, he illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. Ten years in the writing, All the Light We Cannot See is a magnificent, deeply moving novel from a writer “whose sentences never fail to thrill” (Los Angeles Times).
Download or read book Photo Essays about Asian American Women in Life Magazine 1936 to 1965 written by Karen L. Ching Carter and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The editors of Life Magazine, a mass-produced picture magazine, composed picture narratives that entertained, informed, and influenced mid-twentieth-century American society. Photo-Essays about Asian American Women in Life Magazine 1936 to 1965: Hidden Narratives and Breaking Stereotypes is a rhetorical analysis of how Life Magazine’s photo-essays represented and shaped white American middle-class attitudes toward Asian American women. In the time period studied, 1936 to1965, most white Americans were exposed to Asian woman primarily through film or in illustrated drawings. Hollywood in particular created caricatures depicting Asian women as evil dragon ladies or sex slaves, both of which implied prostitution, which affected their legal and social standing in early and mid-twentieth-century America. The book illustrates the ways in which the Life editors utilized the photo-essay as a narrative art form to counter stereotypical and racist Hollywood depictions of Asian women as prostitutes and to envision them as part of the American middle class, thereby promoting a sense of national identity that included Asians as Americans. This book will be of interest to scholars in the fields of women’s studies, cultural studies, visual culture, Asian American studies, and history.

Download or read book EXAMS AND SPEED READING written by Silviu Vasile and published by Silviu Vasile. This book was released on with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many books, programs and speed reading trainings that offer information, but few that offer value. There are more and more people who want to teach you about speed reading, which is basically great. It's just that there, from the information about this extraordinary field, you have to be able to extract the essence and be able to pass it on. I've been studying speed reading for the last 15 years. I have done it with passion and dedication; I have made speed reading an important goal and I have lived in the culture of speed reading. I have spent thousands of hours thinking about what is important in this area and I think I have come to understand the importance of speed reading for the mind and body. What I present in my books is information that you can put to use immediately, getting good and great results. What you start building today will become the cornerstone of your personal and professional success tomorrow. The more you decide to invest in valuable knowledge, the more it will transform you and make you a person capable of climbing step by step to the place where you can reap the full fruits of your labour. It's a long road to get there and I'd be lying to you if I said it was an easy road. You need a lot of willpower and discipline to be able to take those exams that life offers you as a chance to find out who you really are and what are the things that limit you inside. All those inner limitations will stop you in your tracks, block you or turn you back even when you may have very little left to finish. What you learn from speed reading will help you make choices, and not just any choices, but choices that will bring real change to your life. Think of yourself as living in a consumer world, and if you look back you will see that you have bought many products and services that you have not used. You've bought a subscription you didn't use or a fitness machine you used a few times and then forgot about it. When you bought it you promised yourself that you would use it every day and yet you didn't. It happened because you didn't live or don't live long enough in the culture of that thing. You don't realize how important it is and how much you need to exercise, otherwise you would find the time and energy to exercise regularly, maybe even daily.
Download or read book Sexual Fluidity written by Lisa M. Diamond and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is love “blind” when it comes to gender? For women, it just might be. This unsettling and original book offers a radical new understanding of the context-dependent nature of female sexuality. Lisa M. Diamond argues that for some women, love and desire are not rigidly heterosexual or homosexual but fluid, changing as women move through the stages of life, various social groups, and, most important, different love relationships.This perspective clashes with traditional views of sexual orientation as a stable and fixed trait. But that view is based on research conducted almost entirely on men. Diamond is the first to study a large group of women over time. She has tracked one hundred women for more than ten years as they have emerged from adolescence into adulthood. She summarizes their experiences and reviews research ranging from the psychology of love to the biology of sex differences. Sexual Fluidity offers moving first-person accounts of women falling in and out of love with men or women at different times in their lives. For some, gender becomes irrelevant: “I fall in love with the person, not the gender,” say some respondents.Sexual Fluidity offers a new understanding of women’s sexuality—and of the central importance of love.
