    How you can make use of your law degree—without making yourself miserable.   When they enter the field, lawyers seem to have it made—with a high-salary, high-status profession that should set them up for life. Yet, even when they seem to have it all, they often start to feel like something’s off. Their careers have become horribly soul-sucking. They’re managing their lives, sort of—but they feel duped. Trapped. Their “good job” is affecting their health and relationships—and they’re just trying to keep all the plates spinning.   Here’s the good news: Beverly Davidek has been there, and in this book she and husband Dirk show how you can find a job that allows for happiness, satisfaction, and peace of mind. If you’re still struggling to find a way to provide for your family without losing yourself, this book is for you. Part Ask and It Is Given and part What Color Is Your Parachute? (but written specifically for lawyers), Happy Lawyer gives you the tools you need to get unstuck in your career and start living your dream.

    Although there are several teaching methodology books for teachers on the market, there is little if anything specifically focused on how to teach English to Spanish speakers.  The large and growing Hispanic community in the United States that wants and needs to learn English along with the daily-increasing demand for English classes in Latin American countries underline the need for an instructional text such as this one.
     "How to Teach English to Spanish Speakers" is a comprehensive introduction to teaching . English to students with Spanish-language backgrounds.  It provides practical step-by-step guidance for new teachers and offers fresh ideas for more experienced teachers.  It is also ideal for English translators and native English speakers who wish to give English classes.  his resource book examines straightforward teaching procedures, underlying pedagogy and fundamental principles of teaching English, and includes a considerable variety of classroom and research approaches for language instruction.  It suggests practical pedagogic options while exploring various teaching methodologies, comprehensive strategies and effective methods for teaching and developing one's own distinctive teaching style.  It analyzes the crucially important qualities of an effective English teacher.  
    The most critical reason for this book is to look into what we teach, whom we teach, where we teach and, above all, how we can most successfully teach.  Through valuable insights and personal experiences of working with different learning styles, predominant intelligences and different ways of building confidence, it discusses teaching and the learning process, classroom management and different ways to improve learners' listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.  It also provides clear explanations as well as examples of class observations, lesson and unit plans, and offers reliable procedures, practical tips and activities  for teaching Spanish-speaking children, adolescents and adults from beginning to advanced language levels.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
