Beschreibung

A home education expert and mother of eight shares her experiences and insights into harnessing a child’s natural desire to learn.   Joanne Calderwood has been a popular magazine columnist for several years and has become a popular speaker at home-education conferences across the country. Her self-propelled philosophy of education has transformed lives across the nation and around the world. In The Self-Propelled Advantage, Calderwood shares her wisdom, experience, and philosophy of education and parenting, as borne out in the lives of her own exceptional children.   Informative and inspiring, The Self-Propelled Advantage is for any parent who places a high value on their children’s education. Detailing her methods for raising inquisitive, diligent, self-motivated children, Calderwood also shares valuable information on preparing for college entrance exams like the SAT and ACT. Having taught one SAT perfect scorer, one near-perfect scorer, and four students who have gone to college on full academic scholarships, Calderwood has proven how successful her methods can be.

    “A lovely weave of memory and science, great characters and compassionate humor” from the author of Sweat: A History of Exercise (Anne Lamott). 
     
    We often think of sleep as mere stasis, a pause button we press at the end of each day. Yet sleep is full of untold mysteries—eluding us when we seek it too fervently, throwing us into surreal dream worlds when we don’t, sometimes even possessing our bodies so that they walk and talk without our conscious volition. Delving into the mysteries of his own sleep patterns, Bill Hayes marvels, “I have come to see that sleep itself tells a story.” 
     
    An acclaimed journalist and memoirist—and partner of the late neurologist Oliver Sacks—Hayes has been plagued by insomnia his entire life. The science and mythology of sleep and sleeplessness form the backbone to Hayes’s narrative of his personal battles with sleep and how they colored his waking life, as he threads stories of fugitive sleep through memories of growing up in the closet, coming out to his Irish Catholic family, watching his friends fall ill during the early years of the AIDS crisis in San Francisco, and finding a lover. An erudite blend of science and personal narrative, Sleep Demons offers a poignant introduction to the topics for which Hayes has since become famous, including art, eros, city life, the history of medical science, and queer identity. 
     
    “This intimate and beautifully written book brings scientific research alive in a heartfelt and deeply personal narrative.” —The Guardian 
     
    “Memoir, history, and science come together and apart again in a book that reads very much like a dream.” —Out magazine

As it is with all true vocations, this opportunity is a holy and honorable calling placed upon individuals by God. It is another avenue whereby we can enjoy God's gifts, and serve God and our neighbor. Join Dr. Ashmon and Dr. Keith as they explore the joys and duties of this special role.

    Being out of work is no fun, you can't spend on what you want you are tied to where you are and you can't contribute to society. It is also difficult for many as they are faced with people who are there to help but offer little if nothing because they are not capable of seeing themselves what you seek. To them you need a job, full stop, they don't care what and why and that is where it all breaks down. There are solutions and opportunities, Governments have targets and that's it they don't care whether you are happy or not as long as you fill a target place so the journey can be lonely. But you can do it and with a good attitude you can make it too.
