Summary

In "Rollo's Philosophy: Air," Jacob Abbott presents a compelling exploration of natural philosophy aimed at young readers. Through the character of Rollo, Abbott employs a conversational and instructive literary style, encouraging curiosity and critical thinking about the natural world. The book unfolds its narrative through engaging dialogues and practical examples, making complex concepts of air accessible and relatable. Abbott's work is situated within the broader context of 19th-century educational literature, reflecting the era's rising emphasis on scientific understanding and inquiry in children's education. Jacob Abbott, an American author born in 1803, was a pioneer in children's literature and educational works. His extensive background in teaching and philosophy informed his approach, as he sought to illuminate scientific principles in an engaging manner for young minds. Abbott's commitment to fostering intellectual growth among children is evident in his myriad works, including the Rollo series, which aimed to marry education with enjoyment, thus shaping the next generation's understanding of the world. "Rollo's Philosophy: Air" is highly recommended for educators and parents seeking a resource that blends entertainment and enlightenment. It serves as an invaluable tool for instilling a sense of wonder in young learners about the environment, making it a must-have addition to any child's library.

    Hi, I’m Jeannie Savage, and right now I’m excited. Why? Because I am about to share with you my Bookkeeping Practice BluePrint – your step-by-step guide to success, and the planning, diagnostic and day-to-day tool that will help maximise and sustain that success. 
In this book, we’ll cover a range of topics that will give you clear instructions on how to use the BluePrint I’ve developed over 13 long years. We’ll start with a crash course in Getting it Done, which will help you develop the mindset, the habits and the processes that you’ll need. And then we’ll move onto the mechanics of getting it done using the BluePrint – your Foundations, Products and Pricing, Finding and Engaging Your Audience, and putting on your Business Development Hat. And believe me, by the time we get to that last chapter, your new Business Development Hat will not only fit and look fabulous on you, but you will also feel incredibly comfortable wearing it. 
Using this book along with my first book – and complemented by my podcast – I think you’ll be motivated to join my transformation program. But if for some reason you aren't ready to become a full member of my tribe, I recommend my starter membership. Named “starter” because it’s a great place to start. In fact, many of our successful tribe members inside my program started there too. You can find a link to my starter membership at www.thestrategicbookkeeper.global/starter 
Whether you join us or not, I hope you find real value in The Bookkeeping Practice Blueprint, and I wish you the very best of success and freedom. The world needs more strategic bookkeepers, and I’m sure you’ll bring credit to our profession; however you go about it.

    As human, our thought processes, actions and reactions, outcomes and the psychological effects of our fear experiences influence our beliefs, lifestyles and other factors. These life changing experiences and factors determine our behaviour in communication and interaction with our environment, whether logial or illogical. As we grow, learn and develop our own environment, we choose to avoid, confront, ignore or learn to live with our fears. The most intriguing part of it is that we voluntarily believe that our fear is a major problem and a hindrance to us making our goals attainable. We become completely powerful when we are able to put our fear reactions in context, reflect on our reactions which are birthed from situations of perceived fear, and dissect the often unrecognised counter-reactions that make our situation affect our actions.

    Summons to Berlin - Nazi Theft...

    On his deathbed, Dr. Joanne Intrator's father poses two unsettling questions: 
 
 
 
"Are you tough enough? Do they know who you are?" 
 
 
 
Joanne soon realizes that these haunting questions relate to a center-city Berlin building at 16 Wallstrasse that the Nazis ripped away from her family in 1938. But a decade is to pass before she will fully come to grasp why her father threw down the gauntlet as he did. 
 
 
 
Repeatedly, Joanne's restitution quest brings her into confrontation with yet another of her profound fears surrounding Germany and the Holocaust. Having to call on reserves of strength she's unsure she possesses, the author leans into her professional command of psychiatry, often overcoming flabbergasting obstacles perniciously dumped in her path. 
 
 
 
The depth and lucidity of psychological insight threaded throughout Summons to Berlin makes it an attention-grabbing standout among books on like topics. As a listener, you'll come away delighted to know just who Dr. Joanne Intrator is. You'll also finish the book cheering for her, because in the end, she proves far more than tough enough to satisfy her father's unnerving final demands.

  • Why Mars and Venus Collide - Improving Relationships by Understanding How Man and Women Cope Differently with Stress - cover

    Why Mars and Venus Collide -...

    Once upon a time, Martians and Venusians functioned in separate worlds. But in today's hectic and career-oriented environment, relationships have become a lot more complicated, and men and women are experiencing unprecedented levels of stress. To add to the increasing tension, most men and women are also completely unaware that they are actually hardwired to react differently to the stress. It's a common scenario: a husband returns home from work stressed out and eager to kick back on the couch and watch television. A wife returns home from work stressed out and wants to talk about it with her husband. What happens? Neither is on the same page, anger and resentment set in, and Mars and Venus collide.  
Using his signature insight that has helped millions of couples transform their relationships, John Gray once again arms the inhabitants of Mars and Venus with information that will help them live harmoniously ever after. In Why Mars and Venus Collide, Gray focuses on the ways that men and women misinterpret and mismanage the stress in their daily lives, and how these reactions ultimately affect their relationships. ""It's not that he's just not into you; he needs to fulfill a biological need,"" Gray explains. ""And it's not that she wants to henpeck you; she also has a biological drive."" He shows, for instance, how a husband's withdrawal is actually a natural way for him to replenish his depleted testosterone levels and restore his well-being, and how a woman's need for conversation and support helps her build her own stress-reducing hormone, oxytocin. 
Backed up by groundbreaking scientific research, Gray offers a clear, easy-to-understand program to bridge the gap between the two planets, providing effective communication strategies that will actually lower stress levels. Whether in a relationship or single, this book will help both men and women understand their new roles in a modern, work-oriented society, and allow them to discover a variety of new and practical ways to create a lifetime of love and harmony.
