  53% of CPHQ candidates fail the exam. Here’s what successful test-takers do differently. 
  While mastering all the essential concepts and topics can certainly improve your chances of earning your certification, passing the CPHQ has less to do with what you know or even how you apply what you know… 
    
  … and more to do with your overall approach to taking the exam itself. Because the chief difference between those who pass and those who fail comes down to the strategies they use to “beat” the CPHQ exam. 
    
  That’s where this book can help. 
    
  Inside, you’ll discover: 
    
  ●     An easy-to-remember 6-point process for systematically picking apart each question on the CPHQ exam 
  ●     What to do if you don’t end up passing the CPHQ on your first try — and exactly how long this can end up delaying your certification 
  ●     Which type of question makes up more than half of all questions on the exam, and the subtle differences between each type 
  ●     2 full-length practice tests, each with 125 unique questions and detailed explanations to help you identify any knowledge gaps to focus on 
    
  And much more! 
    
  With the 2 full-length practice tests included, you’ll get to simulate the actual testing experience and spot opportunities to improve your score. 
    
  So when the big day rolls around, you’ll be confidently armed with the knowledge, skills, and – more importantly – the strategies needed to pass the CPHQ.

  The Spiritual Foundations of...

  Iwer Thor Lorenzen

  The honey bee has lived in close association with human beings for millennia. Tragically, however, humanity's once intimate connection with this unique creature has been harmed by our increasingly utilitarian and exploitative dealings with the natural world. We are now in urgent need of re-establishing a deeper relationship, not just for the sake of the bees themselves but for the whole of nature – and of course for ourselves.
  Lorenzen – a true master beekeeper – provides numerous insights to enable a more fruitful engagement with the living world. Offering an enrichment of the knowledge and practice of beekeeping, he discusses the origins of the honey bee, its relationship to the floral kingdom, the digestion of the bee, the treatment of bee diseases as well as appropriate beekeeping techniques. He also develops subtle spiritual concepts such as the idea of the bee colony as an 'individuality' and 'group-soul', providing new depth and wisdom to our understanding of how bees live and work.
  This small book, a hidden gem that has never before appeared in English, is essential reading for anyone who cares about the future of the honey bee and the future of humanity.

  Great Astronomers - Unabridged

  The positions of the stars indicated the time to plough, and the time to sow. To the mariner who was seeking a way across the trackless ocean, the heavenly bodies offered the only reliable marks by which his path could be guided. There was, accordingly, a stimulus both from intellectual curiosity and from practical necessity to follow the movements of the stars. In the ensuing chapters we have endeavoured to sketch the lives and the work of the great philosophers, by whose labours the science of astronomy has been created. We shall commence with Ptolemy, who, after the foundations of the science had been laid by Hipparchus, gave to astronomy the form in which it was taught throughout the Middle Ages. We shall next see Copernicus. We then pass to the genius of Galileo and Newton, and afterwards we shall trace the careers of other more recent discoverers.

  A Primate's Memoir - A...

  "I had never planned to become a savanna baboon when I grew up; instead, I had always assumed I would become a mountain gorilla," writes Robert Sapolsky in this witty and riveting chronicle of a scientist's coming-of-age in remote Africa. 
  An exhilarating account of Sapolsky's twenty-one-year study of a troop of rambunctious baboons in Kenya, A Primate's Memoir interweaves serious scientific observations with wry commentary about the challenges and pleasures of living in the wilds of the Serengeti—for man and beast alike. Over two decades, Sapolsky survives culinary atrocities, gunpoint encounters, and a surreal kidnapping, while witnessing the encroachment of the tourist mentality on the farthest vestiges of unspoiled Africa. As he conducts unprecedented physiological research on wild primates, he becomes evermore enamored of his subjects—unique and compelling characters in their own right—and he returns to them summer after summer, until tragedy finally prevents him. 
  By turns hilarious and poignant, A Primate's Memoir is a magnum opus from one of our foremost science writers.

  A wide-ranging survey offers “entertainment as well as wisdom for everyone who’s ever wondered what’s behind so many conspiracy theories and paranormal phenomena” (Publishers Weekly).   UFOs. Aliens. Strange crop circles. Giant figures scratched in the desert surface along the coast of Peru. The amazing alignment of the pyramids. Strange lines of clouds in the sky. The paranormal is alive and well in the American cultural landscape. In UFOs, Chemtrails, and Aliens, Donald R. Prothero and Tim Callahan explore why such demonstrably false beliefs thrive despite decades of education and scientific debunking. Employing the ground rules of science and the standards of scientific evidence, Prothero and Callahan discuss a wide range of topics including the reliability of eyewitness testimony, psychological research into why people want to believe in aliens and UFOs, and the role conspiratorial thinking plays in UFO culture. They examine a variety of UFO sightings and describe the standards of evidence used to determine whether UFOs are actual alien spacecraft. Finally, they consider our views of aliens and the strong cultural signals that provide the shapes and behaviors of these beings. While their approach is firmly based in science, Prothero and Callahan also share their personal experiences of Area 51, Roswell, and other legendary sites, creating a narrative that is sure to engross both skeptics and believers.
