Sinopsis

This early work by Alfred Russel Wallace was originally published in 1853 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Palm Trees of the Amazon and their Uses' is an article detailing Wallace's observations during his travels in South America. Alfred Russel Wallace was born on 8th January 1823 in the village of Llanbadoc, in Monmouthshire, Wales. Wallace was inspired by the travelling naturalists of the day and decided to begin his exploration career collecting specimens in the Amazon rainforest. He explored the Rio Negra for four years, making notes on the peoples and languages he encountered as well as the geography, flora, and fauna. While travelling, Wallace refined his thoughts about evolution and in 1858 he outlined his theory of natural selection in an article he sent to Charles Darwin. Wallace made a huge contribution to the natural sciences and he will continue to be remembered as one of the key figures in the development of evolutionary theory.

    Brain Rules: 
    12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, Home, and School 
    by John Medina 
     
     
    ORIGINAL BOOK DESCRIPTION: 
     
    Most of us have no idea what's really going on inside our heads. Yet brain scientists have uncovered details every business leader, parent, and teacher should know - like the need for physical activity to get your brain working its best. How do we learn? What exactly do sleep and stress do to our brains? Why is multi-tasking a myth? Why is it so easy to forget - and so important to repeat new knowledge? Is it true that men and women have different brains? In the New York Times bestseller Brain Rules, Dr. John Medina, a molecular biologist, shares his lifelong interest in how the brain sciences might influence the way we teach our children and the way we work. In each chapter, he describes a brain rule - what scientists know for sure about how our brains work - and then offers transformative ideas for our daily lives. Medina's fascinating stories and infectious sense of humor breathe life into brain science. You'll learn why Michael Jordan was no good at baseball. You'll peer over a surgeon's shoulder as he proves that most of us have a Jennifer Aniston neuron. You'll meet a boy who has an amazing memory for music but can't tie his own shoes. You will discover how: Every brain is wired differently. Exercise improves cognition. We are designed to never stop learning and exploring. Memories are volatile. Sleep is powerfully linked with the ability to learn. Vision trumps all of the other senses. Stress changes the way we learn. In the end, you'll understand how your brain really works - and how to get the most out of it.

    Here’s why getting your CompTIA A+ alone won’t get you a job in IT. 
    If you want to figure out how you can use this knowledge to your advantage — before spending all your time and money preparing for the exam — then start by asking yourself this. 
    If you were hiring for someone to join your IT department, do you know what you’d look for in a candidate? 
    Would you give someone a job simply based on whether they had just one certificate? 
    Wouldn’t you want to see if they could actually handle the job you’re hiring them for before making an offer? 
    Despite what you may have heard about switching careers into IT… getting your A+ will only get you so far. 
    In fact, it might not get you anywhere — at least, not anywhere close to the kind of job offer you want. 
    There are over 1 million IT professionals with A+ certifications, according to CompTIA. 
    Which means if you want to stand out from all the other candidates you’re competing with… and make it hard for employers to say “no” to you… then passing your A+ exam isn’t going to be enough. 
    So instead of helping recruiters fill their quotas… and stressing out over not having found a job months after the exam… you can turn your A+ certification into a bargaining chip that helps you fast-track your transition into IT.  
    And that’s what makes this book different from all the other A+ study guides out there. On top of showing you how to ace the exam with ease, it also offers tips on what to do after you’ve earned your certification. 
    Even if you have no prior IT experience, there are still plenty of ways getting CompTIA A+ certified can help you launch a long-term career — and one that actually pays off. 
    So if you’re done working dead-end jobs… and want to make sure you get the most out of your A+ certification…then this is your book.

    How do men think? 
    It is no secret that a male’s brain is different from a female’s brain. And although every person is different anyway, there are some generalizations that are true for the most part. The question is: Why would you need to know about this anyway? Well, first of all, if you know about these things, you can save yourself a lot of frustration. You may be wondering why your partner or someone from the other gender acts the way they do, but if you know about this, you’ll understand why. Second, isn’t it just interesting to see how nature has shaped the two sexes in different ways to be complementary to each other? The differences are sometimes humorous, and sometimes, they just make sense. 
    So let’s dive into this simple, but revealing, study of the differences, with the focus on the male’s brain. You will hear:The human brain size and how it relates to the sexesHow men and women age differentlyWhy men are kind of like waffles: Laugh at the comparisonWhat men should do when a woman is crying, and what definitely not to do How to improve the productivity of your brainIn which ways the brains are physically built in both sexes and how this impacts the way we think 
    If you want to understand the man’s brain better, and compare it to how women think, then this is the time to learn more about it. You can use this knowledge when you’re married, dating, or simply interacting with the other 50 percent of the world, which is the other gender. When you ask me, this is kind of important...only kind of, right? 
    Don’t hesitate. Add this book to your cart now.
