  Getting Started with Mind...

  You’ve probably heard of mind maps before. In school you surely had teachers create them more than once, with a main idea in the middle, and the branches that popped out in all directions, with sub-themes, which looked like a giant spider on the blackboard. You probably didn’t give much thought to them back then, and you’ve probably even forgotten about them in general by now. 
  	The thing is, though they might bring you back to thoughts of elementary-level learning, Mind Maps can be an excellent visual tool for pretty much everything you can imagine. It’s been argued that the type of memory people use the most is visual. Mind Maps are great for exploiting this memory because they have the additional benefit of working similar to the way our mind does. 
  	We have grown used to note-taking and list-making, but our brain does not work in a linear way; it actually functions by making free associations between ideas that branch from one onto the other. Mind Maps are the same. You part from a main idea, which then opens onto more sub-topics that are related directly to it. This helps structure the information you will be working with, which in turn helps you analyze, understand, and compress the data correctly, which then makes it easier for you to remember it and create new ideas parting from that point. 
  	Mind Maps are a very simple way to arrange your thoughts in an analytical, but also artistic way, something that makes more than one area of your brain work on it, making it engage various cognitive functions, so that you can learn or organize your ideas better. This book will teach you mind mapping techniques from A to Z. Get it Now!

  A Comic History Of Rome - A Wry...

  Gilbert Abbott À Beckett

  Forget dusty textbooks and noble senators. The real history of Rome is a chaotic, blood-soaked circus of power-crazed maniacs, backstabbing politicians, and enough megalomaniacs in togas to outfit a farce. 
  Behind the marble pillars and glittering triumphs lay a world of two-faced demagogues and ruthless ambition. Gilbert Abbott A Beckett’s legendary Comic History of Rome drags the Eternal City’s glorious past into the gloriously witty gutter where it belongs. 
  This is history as the finest form of satire. Witness the original sibling rivalry between Romulus and Remus, which ended—like so much in Rome—in betrayal. From the daring escape of Cloelia from the Etruscan camp to the grim reality of the gladiatorial arena, no sacred cow is left unskewered. A Beckett’s narrative, both “compendious and correct,” guides you through the chaos with dry, avuncular wit, suggesting we take the reign of Romulus with “an entire cellar of salt.” 
  Now, listen as the venerable figures of antiquity are revived in all their farcical glory: eavesdrop on the Senate’s petty squabbles, follow Hannibal’s troublesome Alpine holiday, and endure the terrible poetry and even worse governance of Emperor Nero. The original illustrations are vividly brought to life through the narrator's sharp performance, preserving the unique charm of this classic. 
  So, don your metaphorical laurel wreath and ready your laughter. This audiobook invites you to experience the hilarious rise and fall of an empire—a story far richer, and funnier, than any textbook would ever dare admit.
