Educators and Administrators Praise Alphabet Meditations for Teachers "Alphabet Meditations for Teachers is a most needed antidote to the toxic side effects of our accumulated reactions to institutional rigidity and regimentation; to models of efficiency that privilege technocratic instruction over meaningful and organic teaching and learning."--Caroline Eick, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Education Department, Mount St. Mary's University, Emmitsburg, MD "Alphabet Meditations for Teachers tugs at the heart strings of all teachers who yearn for wisdom in seeking the answers to those struggles and frustrations faced by our profession. Nestled in the honest questioning and prayers are answers for teachers regarding the spiritual power of teaching and the magnificent ignition of discovery, laughter, and true community in our classrooms." --Sherry Henderson, Principal, Trinity Episcopal School, Marshall, TXAbout the Author A native of southwest Oklahoma, Nancy Oelklaus began her career as a high school English teacher in Marshall, Texas.

Billy And Ant Fall Out: Friendship and Pride
¥40.79
For 7 to 9-year-old boys and girls. False pride makes a child feel so important that they would rather do something wrong than admit they have made a mistake. Could pride be playing a part in your child’s negative behaviour? Billy Field says something nasty to his best friend Ant Turner, and they row. Ant goes off and makes a new friend, leaving Billy feeling angry and abandoned. Billy’s pride will not let him apologise to Ant until things get out of hand. Is Billy the sort of person to have as a friend? Will it be possible for Billy and Ant to be mates again? Can they overcome their differences? Billy And Ant Fall Out is the second title in the Billy Growing Up series. Each book addresses a unique topic—bullying, arrogant pride, jealousy, lying, stealing, lack of self-belief, understanding money, and secrets. Written to help parents, guardians and teachers deal with the issues that challenge pre-teen children; each topic is presented in a gentle way through storytelling. Setting the issues in a meaningful context helps children to understand the challenges, and to see things from a different perspective. The books act as icebreakers allowing for discussions of difficult subjects. Additionally, each title is supported by a free activity book to reinforce the learning, while having fun. Buying this book today will support your child in dealing with arrogant pride—a negative and unhelpful emotion.

Think And Grow Rich: Change Your Mind, Change Your Life!
¥26.98
THE MAN WHO "THOUGHT" HIS WAY INTO PARTNERSHIP WITH THOMAS A. EDISON ??TRULY, "thoughts are things," and powerful things at that, when they are mixed with de?niteness of purpose, persistence, and a BURNING DESIRE for their translation into riches, or other material objects. ??A little more than thirty years ago, Edwin C. Barnes discovered how true it is that men really do THINK AND GROW RICH. His discovery did not come about at one sitting. It came little by little, beginning with a BURNING DESIRE to become a business associate of the great Edison. ??Somewhere, as you read, the secret to which I refer will jump from the page and stand boldly before you, IF YOU ARE READY FOR IT! When it appears, you will recognize it. Whether you receive the sign in the ?rst or the last chapter, stop for a moment when it presents itself, and turn down a glass, for that occasion will mark the most important turning-point of your life. ??Remember, too, as you go through the book, that it deals with facts and not with ?ction, its purpose being to convey a great universal truth through which all who are READY may learn, not only WHAT TO DO, BUT ALSO HOW TO DO IT! and receive, as well, THE NEEDED STIMULUS TO MAKE A START. ??IN EVERY chapter of this book, mention has been made of the money-making secret which has made fortunes for more than ?ve hundred exceedingly wealthy men whom I have carefully analyzed over a long period of years. ??The secret was brought to my attention by Andrew Carnegie, more than a quarter of a century ago. The canny, lovable old Scotsman carelessly tossed it into my mind, when I was but a boy. Then he sat back in his chair, with a merry twinkle in his eyes, and watched carefully to see if I had brains enough to understand the full signi?cance of what he had said to me. ??When he saw that I had grasped the idea, he asked if I would be willing to spend twenty years or more, preparing myself to take it to the world, to men and women who, without the secret, might go through life as failures. I said I would, and with Mr. Carnegie’s cooperation, I have kept my promise. ??This book contains the secret, after having been put to a practical test by thou-sands of people, in almost every walk of life. It was Mr. Carnegie’s idea that the magic formula, which gave him a stupendous fortune, ought to be placed within reach of people who do not have time to investigate how men make money, and it was his hope that I might test and demonstrate the soundness of the formula through the experience of men and women in every calling.

De?i ?n ultimele zeci de ani progresul tehnologiei a devenit tot mai rapid, modific?nd condi?iile de via?? nu numai de la o genera?ie la alta, ci chiar ?n cadrul aceleia?i genera?ii, rela?iile dintre oameni au continuat s? se conduc? dup? acelea?i reguli vechi de secole. Avem a?tept?ri de la noi ?n?ine ?i de la ceilal?i bazate pe acelea?i principii de via?? vetuste, iar c?nd suntem dezam?gi?i arunc?m vina ?ntr-o parte ?i-n alta, inclusiv asupra propriei persoane, f?r? s? observ?m c? ?ncerc?m, de fapt, s? ?mbr?c?m un adult cu hainele unui copil. Ce face Meg Barker ?n aceast? carte remarcabil de atractiv scris? este s? pun? sub semnul ?ntreb?rii regulile actuale din cadrul rela?iilor intime ?i de prietenie. Ea ne propune s? reflect?m asupra lor ?i s? ?n?elegem de ce nu mai pot func?iona, suger?ndu-ne rescrierea lor ?ntr-o manier? flexibil?, adaptat? fiec?ruia ?n parte. Este o carte ce deschide perspective, oferind argumente pro ?i contra bazate pe cercetare, f?r? s? impun?, f?r? s? fac? judec??i de valoare. ? Rescrierea regulilor este un ghid prietenos ce ne poart? printre complicatele – ?i, adesea, contradictoriile – reguli ale iubirii: sunt oferite sfaturi cu privire la atrac?ie ?i sex, monogamie ?i conflict, identitate de gen ?i angajament. Aceast? carte trece ?n revist? modul ?n care regulile sunt ?rescrise“ ?n diferite feluri, d?ndu-i cititorului puterea s? g?seasc? abordarea care se potrive?te cel mai bine cu situa?ia lui. – Meg Barker ? “Tr?im ?ntr-o perioad? de mare incertitudine ?n ceea ce prive?te rela?iile. C?ut?m Alesul, dar ne trezim c? r?m?nem singuri pentru c? nimeni nu se ridic? la nivelul a?tept?rilor. T?njim dup? un final fericit, dar o desp?r?ire dup? alta ne las? r?ni?i ?i confuzi. G?sim un partener, dar realitatea rela?iilor noastre nu este cea la care ne a?teptam ?i devine greu s? p?str?m echilibrul ?ntre acestea ?i toate celelalte lucruri pe care le vrem de la via??. C?s?toria se dovede?te a fi o industrie ?rezistent? la recesiun“ ?i, ?n acela?i timp, rata divor?urilor ?i a desp?r?irilor se ridic? la cele mai ?nalte cote.“ – Meg Barker
