Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the past! "With vibrant illustrations, witty verse, and engaging interactive elements, this story will keep younger kids engaged and leave older ones (and their parents) laughing their heads off." (A. C. Spahn, author of the Endurance series and the upcoming Arcane Artisans series.) Science fiction the way kids love it: wild, unexpected, and packed with laughter! Hands-on science that scientists can only dream of. A kids' sci-fi misadventure that will have you in stitches. It's funny too. It’s News Day again for Sascha Martin, Landfill Public School’s inventive 8 year old, and a new invention brings his classmates face to face with the living, breathing, stomping, chomping, leaping, climbing, gnashing, slashing megafauna (really big animals) that lived in Australia 12,000 years ago. Plus a ring-in from much, much earlier, and he’s not happy at all! Life back then was all about not being eaten, and the challenge is almost too much for Sascha, Luca, and Mary-Alice, and Mr Jack and Mrs Barnum, and all the other teachers and children swept up in Sascha’s new Show and Tell miscalculation. This hilarious, epic sequel to Sascha Martin’s Rocket-Ship adds a new twist to the time travel genre, poking the boundaries of science fiction and taking children where no child has gone before - to a school overrun by enormous prehistoric creatures. With a Read-Aloud function that you can toggle on and off, kids can follow along as the text highlights in sync with the voice. And it’s a voice you’ll recognise, if you’ve listened to the free audiobook of Sascha Martin’s Rocket-Ship. Australian voice artist Jesse Emma returns to breathe life and rhyme and rhythm into Sascha’s Martin’s second misadventure - every word of it - and to show you how to pronounce the names of all those prehistoric animals. It's a break for your own voice, too, amid endless demands of “read it again!” But wait! There’s more: Sascha Martin's Time Machine is educational too! At the end of the book you'll find profiles of the prehistoric animals featured in the story, with information to fuel any child’s curiosity. And if you want, the animal profiles can be read aloud, just like the story, by the voice of Jesse Emma. Sascha Martin's Time Machine combines poetry, story, sound, rhyme and rhythm, pictures, text and animation, in a concoction that children won't be able to resist ... not that they'll want to. Here are some early reviews of Sascha Martin’s Time Machine from Amazon:* It's full of interactive excitement & surprises! (Donutmail) Exciting, interactive, and educational too ... a great read and definitely worth the expense!!! (Frances K) Another hilarious Sascha Martin adventure - this time with interactive images! (A. C. Spahn) Awesome rhymes, lots of laughs and smiles, awesome fun facts, amazingly detailed illustrations. This book is fun for kids and those who just don't want to grow up alike. (madeleine bell - Amazon UK) I just read this book and it's great fun! Fanastical story with fantastic artwork. ... Probably appropriate for middle-grade readers or younger ones who just enjoy wild adventures with some prehistoric creatures... (Zara G) My two-year-old who loves dinosaurs enjoyed it very much. (A. C. Spahn) Wonderful story, beautifully illustrated ... My 3-year-old loved the first Sascha Martin story, and Time Machine is a new favourite. ... it's both fun and educational. (Silje Evjenth Bentsen) Do you like koalas, echidnas, wombats and kangaroos? Come and meet their giant cousins from the last Ice Age! Plus some of the biggest, most fearsome predators you've never heard of. It's like Jurassic Park meets Taronga Zoo, and an adventure that could only happen in Australia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Witty, warm, and poignant, food blogger Sasha Martin's memoir about cooking her way to happiness and self-acceptance is a culinary journey like no other. Over the course of 195 weeks, food writer and blogger Sasha Martin set out to cook—and eat—a meal from every country in the world. As cooking unlocked the memories of her rough-and-tumble childhood and the loss and heartbreak that came with it, Martin became more determined than ever to find peace and elevate her life through the prism of food and world cultures. From the tiny, makeshift kitchen of her eccentric, creative mother, to a string of foster homes, to the house from which she launched her own cooking adventure, Martin's heartfelt, brutally honest memoir reveals the power of cooking to bond, to empower, and to heal—and celebrates the simple truth that happiness is created from within. "This beautifully written book is both poignant and uplifting. Not to mention delicious. It's an amazing family tale that reminds me of The Glass Castle, but with more food. And not just any food: We're talking cinnamon raisin pizza." —A.J. Jacobs, author of The Year of Living Biblically "Life From Scratch is an unconventional love story. This beautiful book begins with the quest of cooking a meal from every country—a noble feat of it's own!—but then turns it into something far beyond a kitchen adventure. Be prepared to be changed as you experience Sasha's journey for yourself." —Chris Guillebeau, author of The Happiness Pursuit

Download or read book The Happiness of Pursuit written by Chris Guillebeau and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2014-09-09 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A remarkable guide to the quests that give our lives meaning—and how to find your own—from the New York Times bestselling author of The $100 Startup and 100 Side Hustles “If you like complacency and mediocrity, do not read this book. It’s dangerously inspiring.”—A. J. Jacobs, author of The Know-It-All When he set out to visit all of the planet’s countries by age thirty-five, compulsive goal-seeker Chris Guillebeau never imagined that his journey’s biggest revelation would be how many people like himself exist—each pursuing a challenging quest. These quests are as diverse as humanity itself, involving exploration, the pursuit of athletic or artistic excellence, or battling against injustice and poverty. Everywhere that Chris visited he found ordinary people working toward extraordinary goals, making daily down payments on their dreams. These “questers” included a suburban mom pursuing a wildly ambitious culinary project, a DJ producing the world’s largest symphony, a young widower completing the tasks his wife would never accomplish—and scores of others writing themselves into the record books. The more Chris spoke with these strivers, the more he began to appreciate the direct link between questing and long-term happiness, and he was compelled to complete a comprehensive study of the phenomenon. In The Happiness of Pursuit, he draws on interviews with hundreds of questers, revealing their secret motivations, their selection criteria, the role played by friends and family, their tricks for solving logistics, and the importance of documentation. Equally fascinating is Chris’s examination of questing’s other side. What happens after the summit is climbed, the painting hung, the endurance record broken, the at-risk community saved? A book that challenges each of us to take control—to make our lives be about something while at the same time remaining clear-eyed about the commitment—The Happiness of Pursuit will inspire readers of every age and aspiration. It’s a playbook for making your life count. “The Happiness of Pursuit is smart, honest, and dangerous. Why dangerous? Because it is as practical as it is inspiring. You won’t just be daydreaming about your quest—you’ll be packing for it!”—Brené Brown, Ph.D., LMSW, author of Daring Greatly

Beginning at the edge of the internet age, a time when radical zine culture prefigured social networking sites, these timely writings paint an illuminated trail through a complex labyrinth of undocumented migrants, anarchist community organizers, brilliant visionary artists, revolutionary seed savers, punk rock historians, social justice farmers, radical mental health activists, and iconoclastic bridge builders. This book is a document of one person’s odyssey to transform his experiences navigating the psychiatric system by building community in the face of adversity; a set of maps for how rebels and dreamers can survive and thrive in a crazy world.

Book excerpt: THE FIRST PSY/CHANGELING NOVEL from the New York Times bestselling author of Shards of Hope, Shield of Winter, and Heart of Obsidian... The book that Christine Feehan called "a must-read for all of my fans." In a world that denies emotions, where the ruling Psy punish any sign of desire, Sascha Duncan must conceal the feelings that brand her as flawed. To reveal them would be to sentence herself to the horror of “rehabilitation”—the complete psychic erasure of everything she ever was…Both human and animal, Lucas Hunter is a Changeling hungry for the very sensations the Psy disdain. After centuries of uneasy coexistence, these two races are now on the verge of war over the brutal murders of several Changeling women. Lucas is determined to find the Psy killer who butchered his packmate, and Sascha is his ticket into their closely guarded society. But he soon discovers that this ice-cold Psy is very capable of passion—and that the animal in him is fascinated by her. Caught between their conflicting worlds, Lucas and Sascha must remain bound to their identities—or sacrifice everything for a taste of darkest temptation…

Download or read book Uberworked and Underpaid written by Trebor Scholz and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-12-27 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the rise of digital labor. Companies like Uber and Amazon Mechanical Turk promise autonomy, choice, and flexibility. One of network culture's toughest critics, Trebor Scholz chronicles the work of workers in the "sharing economy," and the free labor on sites like Facebook, to take these myths apart. In this rich, accessible, and provocative book, Scholz exposes the uncaring reality of contingent digital work, which is thriving at the expense of employment and worker rights. The book is meant to inspire readers to join the growing number of worker-owned "platform cooperatives," rethink unions, and build a better future of work. A call to action, loud and clear, Uberworked and Underpaid shows that it is time to stop wage theft and "crowd fleecing," rethink wealth distribution, and address the urgent question of how digital labor should be regulated and how workers from Berlin, Barcelona, Seattle, and São Paulo can act in solidarity to defend their rights.
