  Ron Ritchhart's new book, Cultures of Thinking in Action, takes the next step in helping listeners not only understand how a culture of thinking looks and feels, but also how to create it for themselves and their learners.

  Much more than just an instructional guide, Cultures of Thinking in Action offers listeners a reflective journey into their own teaching, leading, and parenting while providing the foundation and concrete strategies needed to create and develop a culture of thinking for all learners.

  From an Olympic gold medal–winning coach, a new playbook for effective athlete education and team building 
   
   
   
  Championship results require championship behaviors—it's as simple as that. In this essential book, Hugh McCutcheon provides a proven framework for competitive excellence based in motor learning, psychology, and decades of coaching experience and success. 
   
   
   
  Championship Behaviors provides athletes, parents of athletes, and coaches a defined path to the "how" of significant achievement while simply and clearly explaining the research behind the "why." McCutcheon speaks to the need for aspiring athletes to work, learn, and compete and the responsibility coaches have to teach, coach, and mentor. As he says, "We won't always have five-star talent, but we can often make up the difference by being five-star teachers, learners, and competitors." 
   
   
   
  A sought-after coach and consultant, McCutcheon also illuminates the value of integrating the physical, mental, and social aspects of sport to maximize chances of competitive success.

  The Book of Fear

  Billy Pedro

  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.

  Boomer and the Butterfly is a heartfelt story about love, loss, and the quiet ways we learn to carry those we miss. 
  When Sam loses his beloved dog Boomer, the world feels heavier and emptier. Nothing feels the same—not the house, not the quiet moments, not even the memories that keep finding him in unexpected places. One evening, a simple walk with his grandfather leads to a story that gently shifts the way Sam sees everything. 
  Through the tale of a caterpillar learning and growing into a butterfly, Sam begins to understand that change is not always an ending. Sometimes it is a transformation into something new, something we may not recognize at first, but something that still carries meaning, love, and connection. 
  Told with warmth and simplicity, this story speaks to children and adults alike. It is about grief without being heavy, hope without being forced, and the idea that love does not disappear—it changes form. 
  Boomer and the Butterfly is a comforting listen for families, parents sharing meaningful moments with children, or anyone who has ever loved and lost a faithful companion. It is a gentle reminder that even in goodbye, something beautiful can remain.

  Americans generally show great respect for their troops, and rightfully so. But what is the history of the US Armed Forces? How did the American military come about?  
  The answers to these questions might not be quite as straightforward as you might think. The American military industrial complex, as one former president once called it, was not always so streamlined and efficient.  
  It began more or less as a ragtag bunch of colonialists and revolutionaries who struggled with some of the most fundamental concepts of military discipline. Nevertheless, this ragtag group ultimately shook off the yoke of the British Empire and forged an independent nation.  
  In this audiobook, we take a look at America’s military might from its inception to the present day. We explore the beginnings of both pre- and post-revolutionary America, the Mexican-American War, the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, the world wars, the wars in Korea and Vietnam, the War on Terror, and more. The American military is still considered a force to be reckoned with, and its story is one that continues to be written about.  
  In this audiobook, you will learn about the following:The interesting origin of the US Armed ForcesThe participation of American militias in the Revolutionary WarArmed conflict during the Civil WarAmerica’s participation in the world warsHow America was involved in the Cold War conflictThe War on Terror and how it influenced world politicsHow American’s military advanced throughout the yearsAnd much more!
