Synopsis

For sixty years the dramatic story of the Dunkirk evacuation and the defeat of France—the story of the German conquest of northwest Europe—has been the focus of historical study and dispute, yet myths and misconceptions about this extraordinary event persist. The ruthless efficiency of the German assault, the 'miracle' of Dunkirk, the feeble French defense—these still common assumptions are questioned in Geoffrey Stewart's highly readable and concise account of the campaign. The German victory was not inevitable

    Learn how integrative medicine can help you optimize your health with Andrew B. Newberg, M.D., research director at the Marcus Institute of Integrative Health. Western medicine has tended to focus primarily on the biological dimension of health, treating our sicknesses with medication and therapeutic approaches centered in the body. But is biology all there is to wellness? Integrative medicine says no, instead recognizing four dimensions as essential to our overall well-being: biological, social, psychological, and spiritual. Often, illness is related to factors that current medical approaches do not take fully into consideration. Factors such as stress, nutrition, sexuality, and exercise—which weave in and among the four dimensions—are critical to understand in relation to our health. In this eye-opening 15-lecture audio series from leading neuroscientist Andrew B. Newberg, M.D., you’ll learn how integrative medicine combines ancient wisdom on the nature of the human body with the most recent developments in modern medicine to create an approach in which the whole person is considered. Along the way, you’ll gain practical, evidence-based tools for becoming healthier and managing a variety of problems from obesity and high blood pressure to heart disease, cancer, and other chronic conditions. Whether you’re trying to manage a serious medical condition or simply improve your general health, you’ll find Dr. Newberg’s insights and recommendations invaluable.This course is part of the Learn25 collection.

    This edition brings Dewey’s educational theory into sharp focus, framing his two classic works by frank assessments, past and present, of the practical applications of Dewey’s ideas. In addition to a substantial introduction in which Philip W. Jackson explains why more of Dewey’s ideas haven’t been put into practice, this edition restores a “lost” chapter, dropped from the book by Dewey in 1915.

It may be argued that creativity is something that's divinely inspired, that a few people “have” it and some people don’t. To most individuals, creativity refers to the  arts – writing and music for instance. However creativity applies to  everything – anything fresh, anything that's never been created earlier,  stems from the creative mental faculty. This bundle will teach you how you can enhance your creativity by making use of your imagination and how to come up with innovative ideas that can improve your life.
