  Is your very young child nervous of the dentist?  
   
  If so, this self help gentle, relaxing, imaginative program for regular quiet time or bedtime-listening for children about 4-7 years old could be your answer. With regular listening they are helped to get used to the idea of visiting the dentist feeling happy, calm, and confident.  
  The engaging story takes them off to a magic garden where they paint away fears and touch the colorful, magic flowers to feel happy and brave. Then they look in the pond and see their reflection; they are sitting in the dentist’s chair, riding up and down on the seat, looking at some little silver instruments and opening their mouth wide so the dentist can count and admire their teeth.  
  This successful approach is based on natural, safe, sound hypnotherapy principles: act out each positive step in the imagination and dramatically increase the chance of success in the real world. The recording uses state of the art technology.  
  Lynda's gentle, English voice calms and re-assures as she gives suggestions for boosting confidence and self esteem. As a former teacher and Clinical Hypnotherapist of many years standing, she has helped thousands of children world-wide through her audio-books. She has been featured in the press, TV and radio, and is the author of two widely acclaimed books on hypnotherapy for adults and children.  
  Regular listening is the key to success!

  “A very interesting and informative account of the region in the years just before the American Revolution . . . An almanac of information and opinion.” —H-Florida   Covering everything from Acadians to Yellow Fever, Bernard Romans exhaustively addressed daily life in Florida and minutely described its natural features—but he also did much more. He was copious in conveying the manners and customs of the native Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Creek, including one common outstanding virtue: hospitality. Romans also notes the habits and character of the colonists and comments on the prevalence of drinking. By focusing his attention on even the most minute detail, Romans has given us a fascinating, true account of early Florida. According to the Library of Congress, the variety of natural, aboriginal, historic, and miscellaneous information which the book graphically gives is far more original than a great many pioneer histories. Originally published in 1775, this rare work was first reprinted by Pelican in 1961.  “Students of history, ecology, and anthropology will appreciate this book for the insights it provides into the perceptions of a learned individual caught up in the development of a young nation.” —Choice

  Have you ever wondered how a magician saws a woman in half? Or makes coins materialize out of thin air? Or reads your mind? Magic tricks work because humans have a hardwired process of attention and awareness that is hackable. A good magician uses your mind's intrinsic properties against you in a form of mental jujitsu, to fool you every time, even when you know full well that you are being tricked.Now Stephen L. Macknik and Susana Martinez-Conde, the founders of the exciting new discipline of neuromagic, have convinced some of the world's greatest magicians to reveal their techniques for tricking the brain. This fascinating book is the result of the authors' worldwide exploration of magic and how its ancient principles can now be explained using the latest discoveries of cognitive neuroscience.The secrets behind magic tricks reveal how your brain works not just when watching a magic show but in everyday situations. For instance, if you've ever found yourself paying for an expensive item you'd sworn you'd never buy, the salesperson was probably a master at creating the "illusion of choice," a core technique of magic. By popping the hood on your brain as you are suckered in by sleights of hand, Macknik and Martinez-Conde unveil the key connections between magic and the mind, and along the way make neuroscience more exciting and accessible than ever before.
