Synopsis

What’s the longest bone in the human body? (The thigh bone – femur.) Which are the two bones of the lower leg? (Tibia and fibula.) Where would you find your patella? (It’s your kneecap.)
 
Discover how the bones in your body are connected and how the joints work. From head to toe, elbow to ankle, How Your Skeleton Works expertly guides you through the different parts of the body. Find out how the knee cap stays in place, how you are born with more bones than you die with, and how your legs stay in your hip joints.
 
Including the body’s 206 bones, each page has a colour artwork to illustrate the featured body part. Alongside general text on the body part, there are detailed annotations to explain particular details about the artwork.
 
With more than 80 colour artworks and expert background text, How Your Skeleton Works is an easy-to-read, highly informative guide to the bones of the human body.

    Underneath her facade of happiness, Dinah Hodgson struggles emotionally. When her unhappiness becomes too much to bear, she cries out to God, but His response is not what she expects: He leads her to reexamine her abusive childhood. Even though obedience will be painful, Dinah accepts that it’s the only way out of the dark place she’s found herself in. What follows is a journey of reclaiming her destiny as God brings her “up from the ashes” and into abundant life.

    The Leverage Code - Build...

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Most people think leverage is about power — titles, authority, wealth. It isn't. 
     
    Leverage is position and options. It is the structural advantage that lets you think clearly when others are panicking, say no when the pressure rises, and make decisions from choice rather than desperation. 
     
    In The Leverage Code, MJ Carver draws from his own experience — including a layoff after years of sixty-percent travel and unwavering performance — to break down the invisible mechanics of financial and personal leverage. This is not a book about getting rich. It is a book about building the kind of quiet, structural strength that changes how you negotiate, how you handle disruption, and how you breathe through the hard moments. 
     
    Organized into two parts, the book first examines where most people are exposed — operating from need rather than position, mistaking comfort for stability, and confusing income with leverage. Part Two delivers ten actionable Leverage Codes: structural principles that, applied consistently over time, reduce fragility and expand options. 
     
    Whether you are rebuilding after a setback, building quietly alongside a demanding career, or simply tired of feeling one paycheck away from panic — this book gives you the framework to engineer real, lasting leverage. 
     
    Not luck. Not motivation. Structure. 
     
    Build position before you need it.

    How to Be a Sister - A Love...

    Eileen Garvin’s older sister, Margaret, was diagnosed with severe autism at age three. Growing up alongside Margaret wasn’t easy: Eileen often found herself in situations that were simultaneously awkward, hilarious, and heartbreaking. For example, losing a blue plastic hairbrush could leave Margaret inconsolable for hours, and a quiet Sunday Mass might provoke an outburst of laughter, swearing, or dancing. How to Be a Sister begins when Eileen, after several years in New Mexico, has just moved back to the Pacific Northwest, where she grew up. Being 1,600 miles away allowed Eileen to avoid the question that has dogged her since birth: What is she going to do about Margaret? Now, Eileen must grapple with this question once again as she tentatively tries to reconnect with Margaret. How can she have a relationship with someone who can’t drive, send an email, or use a telephone? What role will Eileen play in Margaret’s life as their parents age, and after they die? Will she remain in Margaret’s life, or will she walk away? A deeply felt, impeccably written memoir, How to Be a Sister will speak to siblings, parents, friends, and teachers of people with autism—and to anyone who sometimes struggles to connect with someone difficult or different.
