Sinopsis

In a time when societal divisions seem to be growing wider, "The Giving Curve" emerges as a beacon of hope, shedding light on the transformative power of charitable giving. This thought-provoking book explores the fascinating dichotomy between givers and non-givers in America, revealing the factors that shape an individual's propensity to give and the profound impact that charity has on society as a whole.

Thoughtfully researched and engagingly written, "The Giving Curve" challenges conventional wisdom and offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between compassion and political ideology. It delves into the concept of "compassionate conservatism," demonstrating that conservatives are often just as generous as liberals, if not more so. The book also examines the effectiveness of government policies in promoting charitable giving, highlighting both successes and challenges.

Beyond its exploration of the motivations and behaviors of givers, "The Giving Curve" also delves into the far-reaching effects of charity. It reveals the positive impact that giving can have on individuals, communities, and the economy as a whole. From increased happiness and stronger social bonds to better health outcomes and a more just and equitable society, the benefits of charitable giving are undeniable.

Moreover, "The Giving Curve" looks to the future of philanthropy, envisioning a world where giving is not just a duty but a way of life. It explores innovative approaches to giving, such as collective giving initiatives and the use of technology to facilitate acts of kindness. The book also addresses the challenges facing the charitable sector and offers potential solutions for a sustainable future.

With its compelling narrative, rigorous research, and inspiring vision for the future, "The Giving Curve" is a must-read for anyone interested in philanthropy, social change, or the human condition. It is a book that has the power to transform hearts and minds, encouraging readers to embrace the transformative power of giving and make a positive impact on the world.

It chronicles the author's experiences of being ensnared by progressive culture for decades, only to realise the toll it took on her inner well-being.

    There are many challenges in the teenage years. Young people often feel pressure to achieve at school. They struggle to negotiate social intricacies. They battle to understand and deal with their own internal emotional world. 
    And, on top of all this, they ponder how they will carve out their future. 
    Teen Time is written for teenagers. Topics of interest are easily selected and the reader is encouraged to consider a range of perspectives for situations they find challenging. 
    Covering a wide range of issues presented frequently in counselling sessions by 13-17 year olds, Teen Time invites teenagers to make time for self-reflection, and to consider alternative possibilities, rather than acting on impulse. It encourages them to choose how they want to be in every area of their life. 
    Helen Middleton, a psychologist in private practice, draws on her extensive experience in working with young people as a teacher, secondary school Guidance Officer, gestalt and family therapist. She addresses the hopes and concerns commonly expressed by teenagers. This user-friendly guide is judgement-free, practical, and relatable. 
    Because it details the many issues confronting teenagers, Teen Time is also a valuable resource for parents, teachers, beginning counsellors, social workers, and youth workers. 
    About the Author  
    Helen Middleton gained a Master’s degree in Education Studies in 1993, and worked as a Guidance Officer in Queensland schools for 15 years. During this time she continued her studies and completed a post-graduate training program in family therapy. She became a Registered Psychologist and completed a second Master’s degree in 2006 in Gestalt Therapy. The same year, Helen moved to Hobart and worked in EAP programs and in private practice. Missing work with young people, she took on regular days at Headspace in 2009, working with 12–26 year olds.

    In today's tumultuous and fast-changing times, digitalisation and technology are game changers in a wide range of sectors and have a tremendous impact on infrastructure. Roads, railways, electricity grids, aviation, and maritime transport are deeply affected by the digital
    and technological transition, with gains in terms of competitiveness, cost-reduction, and safety. Digitalisation is also a key tool for fostering global commitment towards sustainability, but the race for digital infrastructure is also a geopolitical one. As the world's largest economies are starting to adopt competitive strategies, a level playing field appears far from being agreed upon.
    Why are digitalisation and technology the core domains of global geopolitical competition? How are they changing the way infrastructure is built, operated, and maintained? To what extent will road, rail, air, and maritime transport change by virtue of digitalisation, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things? How to enhance cyber protection for critical infrastructure? What are the EU's, US' and China's
    digital strategies?

    The field of special education in 2022 has progressed to a point where we have ways to treat and support students with learning issues, and yet, we frame so much of the special education process from a deficit-based mindset. Even the word, "disability" supports this negative connotation of neurodiversity. This idea book outlines a paradigm for how to view and work with students with diagnoses formed through experience, research, and creativity in a way that supports an ability-forward mindset. Anyone who is parenting or teaching in the special education field would benefit from reading this book and using its ideas within the context of their practice.

    In this bundle of audiobooks, you will get the following topics: 
    1 - It’s a hard name to pronounce, but hey, it’s been the legend of Native American peoples for centuries. Was it a man? Was it a god? Was it a white person? Or was it some animal or strange thing? Quetzalcoatl is an Aztec divine being whose name originates from the Nahuatl language and meaning "valuable snake" or "Quetzal-feathered Snake." 
    2 - The cult image, female divine being, and folk saint Nuestra Seora de la Santa Muerte (Spanish meaning: Our Woman of the Holy Death) is a cult image, female divine being, and folk saint in Mexican Neopaganism and folk Catholicism. 
    3 - Topics such as these will be addressed: 
    The beginnings of the Mayans. 
    Human sacrifice, temples, sites, and religious principles in the Maya culture. 
    The Mayan culture and society. 
    The role of Maya women. 
    The ancient ruins that can be visited by tourists today. 
    4 - When you think of the Aztecs, you might think of certain movies you have seen or what you've been taught in history class. And although some of those images and descriptions fit the main narrative, there is still much left to be discovered. This brief book will take you on a journey and kidnap your imagination to a faraway place in time. 
    5 - Although not really Mexican, this bonus book gives you more insight into ancient American civilizations, in this case, the Inca society. The Inca empire was vast and massive. Yet, still so few people know much about it, aside from what they've heard from vague rumors. But did you know the Inca people showed various similarities to those who came from the Middle East? Did you know that they mummified their dead and built pyramids?
