Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most books on teaching ask teachers to be inspirational, to operate at 100 miles an hour with creativity oozing out of every pore.

It isn't a guide to all the extra stuff you should do to become cool and awesome. It is a book that will get you to forget about teaching and think about learning: another way of saying, it will help you to stop stressing about what you do, and get the students to work harder and smarter at what they do. Dominic Salles believes that every teacher can be slightly awesome. And here he shows you how.

Download or read book Pit Bull written by Bronwen Dickey and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2016-05-10 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hugely illuminating story of how a popular breed of dog became the most demonized and supposedly the most dangerous of dogs—and what role humans have played in the transformation. When Bronwen Dickey brought her new dog home, she saw no traces of the infamous viciousness in her affectionate, timid pit bull. Which made her wonder: How had the breed—beloved by Teddy Roosevelt, Helen Keller, and Hollywood’s “Little Rascals”—come to be known as a brutal fighter? Her search for answers takes her from nineteenth-century New York City dogfighting pits—the cruelty of which drew the attention of the recently formed ASPCA—to early twentieth‑century movie sets, where pit bulls cavorted with Fatty Arbuckle and Buster Keaton; from the battlefields of Gettysburg and the Marne, where pit bulls earned presidential recognition, to desolate urban neighborhoods where the dogs were loved, prized—and sometimes brutalized. Whether through love or fear, hatred or devotion, humans are bound to the history of the pit bull. With unfailing thoughtfulness, compassion, and a firm grasp of scientific fact, Dickey offers us a clear-eyed portrait of this extraordinary breed, and an insightful view of Americans’ relationship with their dogs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Travel statistics say that baby boomers travel more than any other age group in America—and that an ever increasing number of them are looking for ways to spend their leisure time in substantial, meaningful ways. One especially fast-growing area of interest is the "experience-driven" or "wellness" vacation, a proactive approach based on the idea that true recreation involves positive engagement: acquiring a new skill or volunteering to share your own expertise; exercising your intellect or extending yourself in some creative, physical, or spiritual way. In response to such aspirations, this timely book showcases a broad range of the most life-enriching getaways in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, with something for every taste and every interest. Here are programs dedicated to kayaking lessons, mountain biking, yoga instruction, and more. Perhaps you'd prefer to spend an arts and crafts holiday focused on a creative activity like cooking, painting, or woodworking. Imagine studying French in a Maine village, learning about nutrition at a historic North Carolina spa, or helping rebuild the devastated communities of the Gulf Coast. Weave a Navajo rug; make a film in New York; learn to surf in Mexico; or choose any of scores of other possibilities. Elegantly designed and packed with attractive and fun descriptions, detailed travel information, lists of unique activities, and special sidebars, this unusual resource tells you all you need to know to ensure that your next vacation won't just be time off—it will be time well spent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you a Formula 1 buff? Even if you are not, have you had a chance to watch a Formula 1 (F1) race? It is probably the most grueling race in the world. As you are aware, only the best qualify. These drivers are daredevils. They are physically fit and mentally tough. They are deeply passionate about the sport and have nerves of steel. They are backed by great machines, great automobile research and great support teams. There is nothing really that sets one F1 driver apart from the other among the top 10. If that is so, how is it that some of them win consistently? How are F1 drivers like Michael Schumacher in the past and Sebastian Vettel, Kimi Raikkonen, Lewis Hamilton and Mark Webber in the present so consistent in winning the race every time? What separates winners from those who “almost win”? If this question bothers you, you will find this book interesting. In a race where winning depends on speed and your ability to race ahead of others, what really differentiates winners from others are your SMART STOPS. This includes planned stops as well as unplanned stops. These stops in Formula 1 lingo are called PIT STOPS. Pit stops can make or break a race. "A lot of races are won in the pit," according to IndyCar driver Will Power. Isn’t your work as a manager like the Formula 1 race where you are racing for excellence through the year? If Pit stops differentiate the winners from others, how smart are your pit stops? This book will benefit you and your colleagues if You have to put in disproportionate effort to achieve high performance. It is becoming increasingly difficult to read the market, understand customer preferences, predict competitor moves, shape the organization’s culture and be ready for the next disruptive change in the industry. Your team and you are focused most of the time on action and fire fighting and rue if only you had the time to think and reflect. If you are more often than not taken by surprise by the results of a customer feedback survey or employee satisfaction report or the sudden resignation of an employee or a change in market trends. Heart in heart you know that strategic planning, departmental budgeting and individual goal setting exercises of your organization are a farce. Team level trust and work synergies are missing. Annual performance appraisals create more problems than what you bargained for.

Download or read book I m a Good Dog written by Ken Foster and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-10-25 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filled with inspiring stories and photographs, this heartfelt tribute to the pit bull celebrates one of America’s most popular yet misunderstood dogs. Perhaps more than any other breed, the pit bull has been dogged by negative stereotypes. In truth, pit bulls are innately wonderful family pets, as capable of love and good deeds as any other type of dog. Setting the record straight, Ken Foster sings the praises of pit bulls in I’m a Good Dog, a gorgeously illustrated, tenderly written tribute to this most misunderstood of canines. Founder of the Sula Foundation, which promotes responsible pit bull ownership in New Orleans, and the author of two acclaimed books about abandoned dogs, Foster has made it his mission to bring overlooked canines into the limelight. I’m a Good Dog traces the fascinating history of this particularly maligned breed. A century ago, the pit bull was considered a family dog, featured in family photos and trusted as loving companions for children. More recently, pit bulls have been portrayed by the media as stereotypes of everything they are not. Foster shatters that reputation through moving profiles of pit bulls that serve as therapy dogs, athletic heroes, search-and-rescue dogs, and educators, not to mention as loving pets. Foster also profiles many pit bull lovers, from Helen Keller and Dr. Seuss to actor Todd Cerveris, who took his pit bull on tour with him for the musical Spring Awakening. Proving that there’s much to love and nothing to fear, I’m a Good Dog restores the pit bull to its rightful place as friend, family member, athlete and entertainer.

Book excerpt: The Bergalia Boys—Wade Stubbs and Philip Atkinson—have been mates for a very long time. Well over thirty years, in fact, which is pretty good considering we are only thirty-five. The basic concept of our ride, “Circle to Circle – Miles for Wishes” has, in one form or other, been around for nearly as long. Growing up, we were just a couple of kids knocking round on dirt bikes much like anyone else. We rode every chance we had, but I didn’t think riding everywhere would ever actually get us anywhere!

Download or read book The Deeptracker s Guide written by H. G. Potter and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-11-23 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Centuries ago, at the close of the last age, a 900 year old gnome catalogued the various trials, perils, and creatures encountered in the vast hollow earth, thereby providing a handbook to aid humans on their own expeditions for lost knowledge. The Enchiridion de Rebus Subterraneis was masterfully translated into English word for word by the famous archivist Thanato Excorpus and titled "The Deeptracker's Guide to Thaumaturgy and Netherbeasts." Imported from the shores of Whitehawk six centuries ago, no other translations exist. The London fire of 1666 consumed the only manuscript known of the original Latin. The gnome treats on the various environments of the intermudane caverns and subterraneous worlds, providing eyewitness testimony, ancient manuscripts, Church-like admonitions, and rebuke against unbelievers. Includes many "short story" pieces of the gnome's encounters as well.
