In this revised 6th edition, they have updated their groundbreaking approach which has found favor with over six million parents in all 50 states and has been translated into 20 languages around the world. For over 25 years, On Becoming Babywise has been the de facto newborn parenting manual for naturally synchronizing your baby's feeding time, waketime and nighttime sleep cycles, so the whole family can sleep through the night. In his 29th year as a licensed Pediatrician, Dr. Robert Bucknam, M.D. along with co-author Gary Ezzo, demonstrate how order and stability are mutual allies of every newborn's metabolism and how parents can take advantage of these biological propensities.

Review \"From a Pediatricians' perspective, this is a sigh of welcome relief for sleepless, weary parents.\" David Blank, M.D. Longmont, CO \"Since being introduced to the principles of Babywise, I have been convinced of its effectiveness in establishing sleep patterns and in decreasing the frequency of problems associated with infant feeding.\" Craig Lloyd, M.D., Brisbane, Australia \" Babywise provides sound parenting advice and common-sense pediatric care to many parents who are confused, frustrated, and downright sleep deprived.\" David Miller M.

It provides infants with needed structure and stability and brings joy and love so needed in our homes today.\" Janet Dunn, M.D., Chatsworth, CA \"I am a practicing pediatrician and assistant professor of pediatrics. Residents and new mothers I work with have found On Becoming Babywise overwhelmingly successful. My residents report a positive difference in the confidence of new mothers who work with this plan compared to those who do not. The freedom Babywise provides a new mother is so refreshing.\" Linda Meloy, M.D., Richmond, VA \"As family physicians and husband-wife team, we are often asked questions related to parenting and the general care of children. Most of our basic responses are found in On Becoming Babywise. For answering parenting questions, it has become a practical guide, giving us a sense of competence and confidence as physicians and as parents. When the principles are put into practice, parents reap abundant rewards.\" Tony Burden, M.D. \u0026amp; Margaret Burden, M.D., Bellingham, WA \"Before my second baby was born, I was introduced to the Babywise concepts.

He rides off and gets into all sorts of trouble, but he eventually saves the day. About the Author Hans Augusto Rey was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1898. As a child, he spent much of his free time in that city's famous Hagenbeck Zoo drawing animals. After serving in the army during World War I, he studied philology and natural science at the University of Hamburg. He then married Margret Rey and they moved to Montmartre for four years. The manuscript for the first Curious George books was one of the few items the Reys carried with them on their bicycles when they escaped from Paris in 1940. Eventually, they made their way to the United States, and Curious George was published in 1941. Curious George has been published in many languages, including French, German, Japanese, Afrikaans, and Norwegian. Additional Curious George books followed, as well as such other favorites as CECILY G.

In this “artful, informative, and delightful” (William H. McNeill, New York Review of Books) book, a classic of our time, evolutionary biologist Jared Diamond dismantles racist theories of human history by revealing the environmental factors actually responsible for its broadest patterns.\nThe story begins 13,000 years ago, when Stone Age hunter-gatherers constituted the entire human population. Around that time, the developmental paths of human societies on different continents began to diverge greatly. Early domestication of wild plants and animals in the Fertile Crescent, China, Mesoamerica, the Andes, and other areas gave peoples of those regions a head start at a new way of life. But the localized origins of farming and herding proved to be only part of the explanation for their differing fates. The unequal rates at which food production spread from those initial centers were influenced by other features of climate and geography, including the disparate sizes, locations, and even shapes of the continents. Only societies that moved away from the hunter-gatherer stage went on to develop writing, technology, government, and organized religions as well as deadly germs and potent weapons of war. It was those societies, adventuring on sea and land, that invaded others, decimating native inhabitants through slaughter and the spread of disease.\nA major landmark in our understanding of human societies, Guns, Germs, and Steel chronicles the way in which the modern world, and its inequalities, came to be.\n\n\nReview\n\n\n\"Artful, informative, and delightful.... There is nothing like a radically new angle of vision for bringing out unsuspected dimensions of a subject, and that is what Jared Diamond has done.\"\n ―\nWilliam H. McNeil, New York Review of Books\n\n\"An ambitious, highly important book.\"\n ―\nJames Shreeve, New York Times Book Review\n\n\"A book of remarkable scope, a history of the world in less than 500 pages which succeeds admirably, where so many others have failed, in analyzing some of the basic workings of culture process.... One of the most important and readable works on the human past published in recent years.\"\n ―\nColin Renfrew, Nature\n\n\"The scope and the explanatory power of this book are astounding.\"\n ―\nThe New Yorker\n\n\"No scientist brings more experience from the laboratory and field, none thinks more deeply about social issues or addresses them with greater clarity, than Jared Diamond as illustrated by\nGuns, Germs, and Steel. In this remarkably readable book he shows how history and biology can enrich one another to produce a deeper understanding of the human condition.\"\n ―\nEdward O. Wilson, Pellegrino University Professor, Harvard University\n\n\"Serious, groundbreaking biological studies of human history only seem to come along once every generation or so. . . . Now [\nGuns, Germs, and Steel] must be added to their select number. . . . Diamond meshes technological mastery with historical sweep, anecdotal delight with broad conceptual vision, and command of sources with creative leaps. No finer work of its kind has been published this year, or for many past.\"\n ―\nMartin Sieff, Washington Times\n\n\"[Diamond] is broadly erudite, writes in a style that pleasantly expresses scientific concepts in vernacular American English, and deals almost exclusively in questions that should interest everyone concerned about how humanity has developed. . . . [He] has done us all a great favor by supplying a rock-solid alternative to the racist answer. . . . A wonderfully interesting book.\"\n ―\nAlfred W.

Critical acclaim James McPherson, Pulitzer Prize winner, Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War Era: “I read through [Private Hell's poems] with admiration for your muse and your insight into the life of a private soldier. I will keep them on my bookshelf and consult them from time to time when I wish to commune with the past.” Steve Allen, Author, composer, playwright, TV icon: “Fascinating . . . each of the poems is powerful and makes an important philosophical point. The book deserves wide attention.” Charles Champlin, Arts Critic Emeritus, Los Angeles Times: “[A] remarkable sheaf of poems . . . an original concept brought off most excellently well . . . so many are sardonically funny, and the more touching for their note of hard irony.” Bertram Barnett, Interpretive Ranger, Gettysburg National Military Park, and expert on poetry in Civil War America: “This collection of soldier-poems, narrated by the singular Pvt., a ubiquitous Everyman, is a marvelous creation. In the modern era, where the power of poetry as a medium and as message seemed nearly lost, Pvt. Hell's commonly uncommon reflections regarding the wanton destruction around him are powerful stuff, delivered in a period package. Placed in the unenviable ranks of some Civil War army, living and dying, dying or dead, his devilishly sarcastic wit shines through clearly, but never at the expense of the truth. Where feeling and understanding are called for, they appear with an artist's touch. As author (and the Private’s occasional foil), Steven B. Bartel retains command of Victorian sensibilities, and transmits them authentically. Using meter to deliver its messages, Pray Tell, Private Hell is a unique and worthwhile addition to the modern literature of the Civil War.” About the author Steven Bartel’s keen interest in the American Civil War began when he was nine, at th\u003cdiv class=\"__sc-features-section\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"col col-sm-8 section\"\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"features\"\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unbranded","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40134516768957,"sku":"mon0000001043","price":8.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/9701\/6765\/files\/pray-tell-private-hell-bartel-steven-history-932.jpg?v=1699315989"},{"product_id":"best-places-stay-california-mcfarlane-marilyn","title":"Best Places to Stay in California (4th ed) McFarlane, Marilyn","description":"\u003cp\u003eEncompassing a diverse array of wilderness retreats, ski lodges, resorts, beach getaways, spas, inns, and more, an updated guide to California travel describes and reviews 350 of the best accommodations in all price ranges for vacationers of a wide variety of interests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"replacement-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"replacement-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unbranded","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40134529319101,"sku":"mon0000001175","price":7.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/9701\/6765\/files\/best-places-stay-california-mcfarlane-marilyn-paperback-book-679.jpg?v=1699316023"},{"product_id":"journey-to-the-centre-of-the-earth-puffin-classics","title":"Journey to the Centre of the Earth (Puffin Classics)","description":"Three men discover the secrets of past civilizations during a fantastic expedition beneath the earth's surface\u003cdiv class=\"__sc-features-section\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"col col-sm-8 section\"\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"features\"\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unbranded","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40134579880125,"sku":"mon0000002796","price":5.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/9701\/6765\/files\/journey-centre-earth-puffin-classics-paperback-book-865.jpg?v=1699316164"},{"product_id":"warnings-unheeded-twin-tragedies-at-fairchild-air-force-base-paperback-brown-andy-and-ayoob","title":"Warnings Unheeded: Twin Tragedies at Fairchild Air Force Base [Paperback] Brown, Andy and Ayoob,","description":"\u003cbody\u003e\n \n \n \n \n \u003cp class=\"sc-item-remarks\"\u003e\n New -

This edition includes an elegant, enlightening introduction by Dr. Ira Byock, a prominent palliative care physician and the author of Dying Well, as well as Congressional testimony given by Dr. Kübler-Ross on death with dignity.

Billy’s vivid, real-time account of his on-going journey through the mysteries of death will change the way you think about life. Death and your place in the Universe.\nIn his foreword, Dr. Raymond Moody, author of Life after Life, explains the phenomena of walkers between the worlds, known to us since ancient times, and says that Dr. Kagan’s thought-provoking account is an excellent example.\n\n\nReview\n\n\n\"Let Billy Fingers take you on a journey to the world which awaits you when you leave this earthly shell.

Skeptics will keep reading to \"find out what happens next.\" And whether you're a skeptic or a true believer, the book will powerfully engage you.

Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; one in five Americans has been molested; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world’s foremost experts on trauma, has spent over three decades working with survivors. In \nThe Body Keeps the Score, he uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, compromising sufferers’ capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust. He explores innovative treatments—from neurofeedback and meditation to sports, drama, and yoga—that offer new paths to recovery by activating the brain’s natural neuroplasticity. Based on Dr. van der Kolk’s own research and that of other leading specialists, \nThe Body Keeps the Score exposes the tremendous power of our relationships both to hurt and to heal—and offers new hope for reclaiming lives.\n\n\nReview\n\n\n“The trauma caused by childhood neglect, sexual or domestic abuse and war wreaks havoc in our bodies, says Bessel van der Kolk in\nThe Body Keeps the Score. . . . Van der Kolk draws on 30 years of experience to argue powerfully that trauma is one of the West's most urgent public health issues. . . . Packed with science and human stories, the book is an intense read. . . . [T]he struggle and resilience of his patients is very moving.”\n\n—Shaoni Bhattacharya, New Scientist\n  \n “War zones may be nearer than you think, as the 25% of US citizens raised with alcoholic relatives might attest. Psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk argues, moreover, that severe trauma is ‘encoded in the viscera’ and demands tailored approaches that enable people to experience deep relief from rage and helplessness. In a narrative packed with decades of findings and case studies, he traces the evolution of treatments from the ‘chemical coshes’ of the 1970s to neurofeedback, mindfulness and other nuanced techniques.”\n —\nNature\n  \n “An astonishing amount of information on almost every aspect of trauma experience, research, interventions, and theories is brought together in this book, which . . . has a distinctly holistic feel to it. The title suggests that what will be explored is how the body retains the imprints of trauma. However, it delivers much more than this, delving into how the brain is impacted by overwhelming traumatic events, and is studded with sections on neuroscience which draw on the author’s own numerous studies as well as that of his peers. In addition, it investigates the effects of adverse childhood attachment patterns, child abuse, and chronic and long-term abuse. . . . [T]his book is a veritable goldmine of information.”\n\n—European Journal of Psychotraumatology\n  \n “Dr. van der Kolk . . . has written a fascinating and empowering book about trauma and its effects. He uses modern neuroscience to demonstrate that trauma physically affects the brain and the body, causing anxiety, rage, and the inability to concentrate. Victims have problems remembering, trusting, and forming relationships. They have lost control. Although news reports and discussions tend to focus on war veterans, abused children, domestic violence victims, and victims of violent crime suffer as well. Using a combination of traditional therapy techniques and alternative treatments such as EMDR, yoga, neurofeedback, and theater, patients can regain control of their bodies and rewire their brains so that they can rebuild their lives. The author uses case histories to demonstrate the process.

Making moonshine has been such a huge part of our culture that many historians credit it as one of the cornerstones of our nations foundations. How to make moonshine? Is quite likely the very question that brought you here. A yearning to learn the traditions that are in danger of being forgotten in the modern, digital era. I wrote this book to pass along the knowledge that was taught to me in the hills of Kentucky over 30 years ago. Along the way though I developed my own style. I boiled down what I learned and created a simplified style that any beginner can follow. I’ve developed designs that can be used right in the comfort of you own kitchen or out back in the woods! The truth is that Moonshining, aka “Home Distilling” is a folk art that helped build this country. Together we can make it live again, and have a little fun in the process! And a quick thank you to all my readers who have helped make The Home Distiller the best selling book ever on the art and science of making moonshine. Shine On! About the Author Jeff King was born in Heidelberg Germany in 1969. His father was shortly thereafter discharged from the Army and the family moved back to the Midwest where Jeff spent his early years attempting to recreate Huck Finn's aquatic adventures . This was just the beginning of Jeff's passion for travel and adventure! He has lived and traveled all over the US and abroad with a current tally of 42 states and 24 countries. Jeff has also sailed in two oceans, two seas and one gulf. Not the kind of person to stay in one place too long Jeff's wanderlust has also lead to a multitude of careers. A true entrepreneur Jeff has lead business endeavors that include importing Art from Bali, Running a Video Game studio, PR for a top Silicon Valley marketing firm and even a brief run for local office as well as starting over half a dozen other small businesses, some successful and others that were more of a, well, \"learning experience\". But it's what he does when he's not in the office that really makes for an exciting tale. If there is a sense of adventure or uncharted waters ahead you can be sure that he is the first to sign up. From learning the art of Moonshining in the hills of Kentucky to getting lost in the jungles of Central America, fly fishing the Yellowstone river in Montana, white water rafting in the Sierra's or even single handing a sloop through the islands of the Caribbean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"replacement-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"replacement-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40369751195837,"sku":"S52579399","price":9.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/9701\/6765\/files\/home-distillers-workbook-your-guide-making-moonshine-whisky-vodka-much-more-1-paperback-831.jpg?v=1699323449"},{"product_id":"false-alarm-truth-about-epidemic-fear","title":"False Alarm: The Truth about the Epidemic of Fear","description":"\u003cp\u003eProduct Description\n\n\nMore relevant than ever as the Coronavirus, COVID-19 pandemic sweeps the globe, False Alarm (Originally released in 2008) reminds readers to look closely at the facts as the media covers the national pandemic news and spread of the virus, as well as reinforces the notion that we must arm ourselves against fear tactics that inhibit our abilities to properly make decisions in a world of uncertainty.\n\nLife today for citizens of the developed world is safer, easier, and healthier than for any other people in history thanks to modern medicine, science, technology, and intelligence. So why is an epidemic of fear sweeping America? The answer, according to nationally renowned health commentator Dr. Marc Siegel, is that we live in an artificially created culture of fear. In\nFalse Alarm, Siegel identifies three major catalysts of the culture of fear—government, the media, and big pharma. With fascinating, blow-by-blow analyses of the most sensational false alarms of the past few years, he shows how these fearmongers manipulate our most primitive instincts—often without our even realizing it.\nFalse Alarm shows us how to look behind the hype and hysteria, inoculate ourselves against fear tactics, and develop the emotional and intellectual skills needed to take back our lives.\n\n\n\nReview\n\n\n\"Anthrax, vaccine shortages, and SARS, oh my! Americans have been pummeled with an endless series of apparent threats. Siegel makes a passionate argument that the only thing we have to fear is, indeed, our own paranoia. Reason, he says, is the best vaccination for this epidemic.\" (\"Psychology Today, September\/October 2005)\n \"Marc Siegel tries to reduce the hysteria quotient with a straightforward recitation of facts and statistics. Recalling the famous Orson Welles broadcast of \"The War of the Worlds,\" Siegel tries all too sensibly (and one suspects futilely) to assess risk accurately and respond only to \"plausible\" threats such as the vulnerability of our container ships or \"loose nukes\" in former Soviet republics.\" (Benamin Barber, \"Los Angeles Times, August 7, 2005)\n\n\nFrom the Inside Flap\n\n\nLife today for citizens of the developed world is far safer, easier, and healthier than for any other people in history. Modern medicine has all but wiped out many diseases that once were common killers. Science and technology have given us countless devices that protect our bodies from injury, secure our property, and warn us of impending disaster. And modern intelligence gathering can pinpoint threats to our domestic security as they arise. So why is an epidemic of fear sweeping America?\nThe answer, according to nationally renowned health commentator Dr. Marc Siegel, is that we live in an artificially created culture of fear.From the anthrax panic to the SARS \"epidemic,\" from \"official\" rumors of bioterror to Orange alerts to West Nile virus-- the media continually bombard us with breaking news of yet another super-bug, terrorist plot, or natural disaster that's about to wreak havoc. Most of the time the disasters never materialize. But even if they did, the odds that any of us would suffer harm from them is infinitesimally small-- especially when compared to the much greater risks of dying in a car accident or from coronary heart disease. \nIn False Alarm, Siegel identifies three major catalysts of the culture of fear-- government, the media, and big pharma. And, with the help of fascinating, blow-by-blow analyses of some of the most sensational false alarms of the past few years, he shows how those big three fearmongers manipulate our most primitive instincts-- often without our even realizing it-- to promote their political agendas, boost their ratings, and sell their products. \nIn his role as a dedicated healer, Siegel offers his prescription for inoculatingourselves against fear tactics. He shows us how to look behind the hype and hysteria and helps us to develop the emotional and intellectual skills needed to take back our lives from fea\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"replacement-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"replacement-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eISBN13: 9780470053843\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotes: BRAND NEW FROM PUBLISHER! 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

All rights reserved.\n\n\nChapter 1\n\n\n\"If You Want to Gather Honey, Don't Kick Over the Beehive\"\n\nOn May 7, 1931, the most sensational manhunt New York City had ever known had come to its climax. After weeks of search, \"Two Gun\" Crowley -- the killer, the gunman who didn't smoke or drink -- was at bay, trapped in his sweetheart's apartment on West End Avenue.\n\nOne hundred and fifty policemen and detectives laid siege to his top-floor hideaway. They chopped holes in the roof; they tried to smoke out Crowley, the \"cop killer,\" with tear gas. Then they mounted their machine guns on surrounding buildings, and for more than an hour one of New York's fine residential areas reverberated with the crack of pistol fire and the\nrat-tat-tat of machine guns. Crowley, crouching behind an overstuffed chair, fired incessantly at the police. Ten thousand excited people watched the battle. Nothing like it had ever been seen before on the sidewalks of New York.\n\nWhen Crowley was captured, Police Commissioner E. P. Mulrooney declared that the two-gun desperado was one of the most dangerous criminals ever encountered in the history of New York. \"He will kill,\" said the Commissioner, \"at the drop of a feather.\"\n\nBut how did \"Two Gun\" Crowley regard himself? We know, because while the police were firing into his apartment, he wrote a letter addressed \"To whom it may concern.\" And, as he wrote, the blood flowing from his wounds left a crimson trail on the paper. In his letter Crowley said: \"Under my coat is a weary heart, but a kind one -- one that would do nobody any harm.\"\n\nA short time before this, Crowley had been having a necking party with his girl friend on a country road out on Long Island. Suddenly a policeman walked up to the car and said: \"Let me see your license.\"\n\nWithout saying a word, Crowley drew his gun and cut the policeman down with a shower of lead. As the dying officer fell, Crowley leaped out of the car, grabbed the officer's revolver, and fired another bullet into the prostrate body. And that was the killer who said: \"Under my coat is a weary heart, but a kind one -- one that would do nobody any harm.\"\n\nCrowley was sentenced to the electric chair. When he arrived at the death house in Sing Sing, did he say, \"This is what I get for killing people\"? No, he said: \"This is what I get for defending myself.\"\n\nThe point of the story is this: \"Two Gun\" Crowley didn't blame himself for anything.\n\nIs that an unusual attitude among criminals? If you think so, listen to this:\n\n\"I have spent the best years of my life giving people the lighter pleasures, helping them have a good time, and all I get is abuse, the existence of a hunted man.\"\n\nThat's Al Capone speaking. Yes, America's most notorious Public Enemy -- the most sinister gang leader who ever shot up Chicago. Capone didn't condemn himself.

London’s most elusive bachelor Anthony Bridgerton hasn’t just decided to marry—he’s even chosen a wife!

When exhausted parents are living the day-to-day grind, it can seem impossible to muster enough energy to make learning fun or interesting. How do parents nurture a love of learning amid childhood chaos, parental self-doubt, the flu, and state academic standards? In this book, Julie Bogart distills decades of experience--homeschooling her five now grown children, developing curricula, and training homeschooling families around the world--to show parents how to make education an exciting, even enchanting, experience for their kids, whether they're in elementary or high school. Enchantment is about ease, not striving. Bogart shows parents how to make room for surprise, mystery, risk, and adventure in their family's routine, so they can create an environment that naturally moves learning forward. If a child wants to pick up a new hobby or explore a subject area that the parent knows little about, it's easy to simply say \"no\" to end the discussion and the parental discomfort, while dousing their child's curious spark. Bogart gently invites parents to model brave learning for their kids so they, too, can approach life with curiosity, joy, and the courage to take learning risks. Review “A masterpiece. This is the deepest, most meaningful book on parenting I have ever read. If you want to raise your child to be a happy learner, whether via homeschooling or conventional schooling, read this book.”—Barbara Oakley, author of Learning How to Learn and A Mind for Numbers“Julie Bogart’s everyday magic is her knack for combining galvanizing inspiration and hands-on practicality. Her writing is frank, funny, and full of charm. Her approach to homeschooling—and to parenting in general—emphasizes a spirit of adventure and camaraderie, placing relationship at the center of a family’s educational journey. This is the guidebook I wish I’d had when I was starting out.” —Melissa Wiley, author of Fox and Crow Are Not Friends \"Success in homeschooling is more about mindset than method, and relationship than academic minutiae. Julie Bogart unpacks what this looks like for her in powerful and practical ways that will inspire you to personalize your own homeschool journey.\"—Heather Haupt, author of Knights in Training\"In The Brave Learner, Julie captures the essence of learning. Homeschooling is not about the schooling or even the home, but rather, it’s about people—their stories, hopes, needs, opportunities, communities, and future. The Brave Learner emphasizes this beautifully by moving between the vision and practice of homeschooling—not an easy transition to make. The book is a worthy read for any parent, whether they homeschool or not.” —Terry Heick, founder of TeachThought“Julie Bogart is tireless in providing ingenious and creative help for homeschoolers.”—Peter Elbow, Professor of English Emeritus, University of Massachusetts at Amherst“Breathes fresh life into your homeschool days.\" —Ainsley Arment, founder of Wild + Free\"The Brave Learner is the book I would have adored as a young parent. Julie's wise advice, genuine humor, and refreshing honesty wrapped me in a spirit of hope and possibility. This is a joyful book brimming with generous, practical ideas about how to live and teach at any age. I only wish I had more children!—Amy Ludwig VanDerwater, author of Forest Has a Song\"Julie’s voice is personable, encouraging, informative, and reassuring. The Brave Learner is filled with inspirational and practical tips on helping children thrive whether you're a homeschooling parent or not.\"—Charnaie Gordon, creator of Here Wee Read About the Author Julie Bogart is the creator of the award-winning, innovative Brave Writer program, teaching writing and language arts to thousands of families eac\u003cdiv class=\"__sc-features-section\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"col col-sm-8 section\"\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"features\"\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tarcherperigee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42430083694815,"sku":"S56135853","price":13.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/9701\/6765\/files\/brave-learner-finding-everyday-magic-homeschool-learning-life-media-books-435.jpg?v=1699327495"},{"product_id":"swanns-search-lost-time-1-penguin-classics-deluxe-edition-paperback-proust","title":"Swann's Way: In Search of Lost Time, Vol. 1 (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) [Paperback] Proust, Marcel; Davis, Lydia and Prendergast, Christopher","description":"\u003cp\u003eProduct Description \nMarcel Proust’s\nIn Search of Lost Time is one of the most entertaining reading experiences in any language and arguably the finest novel of the twentieth century. But since its original prewar translation there has been no completely new version in English. Now, Penguin Classics brings Proust’s masterpiece to new audiences throughout the world, beginning with Lydia Davis’s internationally acclaimed translation of the first volume,\nSwann’s Way.\n About the Author \nMarcel Proust (1871­–1922) was born in Auteuil, France. In his twenties, following a year in the army, he became a conspicuous society figure, frequenting the most fashionable Paris salons of the day. After 1899, however, his chronic asthma, the death of his parents, and his growing disillusionment with humanity caused him to lead an increasingly retired life. From 1907 on, he rarely emerged from a cork-lined room in his apartment on boulevard Haussmann. There he insulated himself against the distractions of city life and the effects of trees and flowers—though he loved them, they brought on his attacks of asthma. He slept by day and worked by night, writing letters and devoting himself to the completion of\nIn Search of Lost Time. \n\nLydia Davis, a 2003 MacArthur Fellow, is the author of a novel, The End of the Story, and three volumes of short fiction, the latest of which is Samuel Johnson Is Indignant. She is also the translator of numerous works by Maurice Blanchot, Michel Leiris, Pierre Jean Jouve, and many others and was recently named a Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French government. Her essay on close translation of Proust appeared in the April 2004 issue of the Yale Review.Christopher Prendergast (series editor) is a professor emeritus of French literature at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of King’s College. \n Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission.

Sometimes, my candle scarcely out, my eyes would close so quickly that I did not have time to say to myself: “I’m falling asleep.” And, half an hour later, the thought that it was time to try to sleep would wake me; I wanted to put down the book I thought I still had in my hands and blow out my light; I had not ceased while sleeping to form reflec-tions on what I had just read, but these reflections had taken a rather peculiar turn; it seemed to me that I myself was what the book was talking about: a church, a quartet, the rivalry between François I and Charles V. This belief lived on for a few seconds after my waking; it did not shock my reason but lay heavy like scales on my eyes and kept them from realizing that the candlestick was no longer lit. Then it began to grow unintelligible to me, as after metempsychosis do the thoughts of an earlier existence; the subject of the book detached itself from me, I was free to apply myself to it or not; immediately I recovered my sight and I was amazed to find a darkness around me soft and restful for my eyes, but perhaps even more so for my mind, to which it appeared a thing without cause, incomprehensible, a thing truly dark. I would ask myself what time it might be; I could hear the whistling of the trains which, remote or nearby, like the singing of a bird in a forest, plotting the distances, described to me the extent of the deserted countryside where the traveler hastens toward the nearest station; and the little road he is following will be engraved on his memory by the excitement he owes to new places, to unaccustomed ctivities, to the recent conversation and the farewells under the unfamiliar lamp that follow him still through the silence of the night, to the imminent sweetness of his return.\nI would rest my cheeks tenderly against the lovely cheeks of the pillow, which, full and fresh, are like the cheeks of our childhood. I would strike a match to look at my watch. Nearly midnight.

It has nestled there ever since, radiating with beauty and wonder, irony and horror.” —Sjón, Vulture “One of the truly great Russian novels of [the twentieth] century.” —The New York Times Book Review   “By turns hilarious, mysterious, contemplative, and poignant . . . A great work.” —Chicago Tribune   “A soaring, dazzling novel; an extraordinary fusion of wildly disparate elements. It is a concerto played simultaneously on the organ, the bagpipes, and a pennywhistle, while someone sets off fireworks between the players’ feet.” —The New York Times   “Fine, funny, imaginative . . . The Master and Margarita stands squarely in the great Gogolesque tradition of satiric narrative.” —Newsweek   “A wild surrealistic romp . . . Brilliantly flamboyant and outrageous.” —Joyce Carol Oates   “Beautiful, strange, tender, scarifying, and incandescent . . . One of those novels that, even in translation, make one feel that not one word could have been written differently . . . Margarita has too many achievements to list—for one thing, a plot scudding with action and suspense, not exactly a hallmark of Russian literature. . . . This luminous translation [is] distinguished by not only the stylistic elegance that has become a hallmark of Pevear and Volokhonsky translations but also a supreme ear for the sound and meaning of Soviet life. . . . It’s time for The Master and Margarita to rise to its rightful place in the canon of great world literature. . . . As literature, it will live forever.” —Boris Fishman, from the Foreword Product Description A 50th-anniversary Deluxe Edition of the incomparable 20th-century masterpiece of satire and fantasy, in a newly revised version of the acclaimed Pevear and Volokhonsky translation   Nothing in the whole of literature compares with The Master and Margarita. One spring afternoon, the Devil, trailing fire and chaos in his wake, weaves himself out of the shadows and into Moscow. Mikhail Bulgakov’s fantastical, funny, and devastating satire of Soviet life combines two distinct yet interwoven parts, one set in contemporary Moscow, the other in ancient Jerusalem, each brimming with historical, imaginary, frightful, and wonderful characters.

Alice Walker's iconic modern classic is now a Penguin Book.A powerful cultural touchstone of modern American literature, The Color Purple depicts the lives of African American women in early twentieth-century rural Georgia. Separated as girls, sisters Celie and Nettie sustain their loyalty to and hope in each other across time, distance and silence. Through a series of letters spanning twenty years, first from Celie to God, then the sisters to each other despite the unknown, the novel draws readers into its rich and memorable portrayals of Celie, Nettie, Shug Avery and Sofia and their experience. The Color Purple broke the silence around domestic and sexual abuse, narrating the lives of women through their pain and struggle, companionship and growth, resilience and bravery. Deeply compassionate and beautifully imagined, Alice Walker's epic carries readers on a spirit-affirming journey towards redemption and love. Review “Reading The Color Purple was the first time I had seen Southern, Black women’s literature as world literature. In writing us into the world—bravely, unapologetically, and honestly—Alice Walker has given us a gift we will never be able to repay.” —Tayari Jones “The Color Purple was what church should have been, what honest familial reckoning could have been, and it is still the only art object in the world by which all three generations of Black artists in my family judge American art.” —Kiese Laymon “A novel of permanent importance.” —Peter S. Prescott, Newsweek “Indelibly affecting … Alice Walker is a lavishly gifted writer.” —The New York Times Book Review “A story of revelation . . . One of the great books of our time.” —Essence Magazine   “A work to stand beside literature of any time and place.” —San Francisco Chronicle “Places Walker in the company of Faulkner.” —The Nation  “Remarkable expressiveness, color, and poignancy . . . not only a memorable and infinitely touching character but a whole submerged world is vividly called into being.” —The New York Review of Books  “Richly evocative . . . a vibrant fugue of devotion and search for love.” —Los Angeles Herald Examiner “A national treasure . . . A rare and lovely book.” —The Cleveland Plain Dealer “A saga filled with joy and pain, humor and bitterness, and an array of characters who live, breathe, and illuminate the world.” —Publishers Weekly“My go-to comfort novel is The Color Purple, by Alice Walker. Even though it touches on difficult subject matter like child abuse and forced marriage, this story believes that human kindness, courage and love can defeat any challenge. Its big, beautiful happy ending is heartfelt and hard-won. Every single time I read this book, I walk away as a slightly better person than I was when I picked it up.” —Tayari Jones, The New York Times About the Author Alice Walker won the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award for her novel The Color Purple. Her other novels include By the Light of My Father’s Smile and Possessing the Secret of Joy. She is also the author of three collections of short stories, three collections of essays, seven volumes of poetry, and several children’s books.

Muhammad presents a four-layered equity framework—one that is grounded in history and restores excellence in literacy education. This framework, which she names, Historically Responsive Literacy, was derived from the study of literacy development within 19th-century Black literacy societies. The framework is essential and universal for all students, especially youth of color, who traditionally have been marginalized in learning standards, school policies, and classroom practices. The equity framework will help educators teach and lead toward the following learning goals or pursuits:  \n\nIdentity Development—Helping youth to make sense of themselves and others\nSkill Development— Developing proficiencies across the academic disciplines\nIntellectual Development—Gaining knowledge and becoming smarter\nCriticality—Learning and developing the ability to read texts (including print and social contexts) to understand power, equity, and anti-oppression\n\n When these four learning pursuits are taught together—through the Historically Responsive Literacy Framework, all students receive profound opportunities for personal, intellectual, and academic success. Muhammad provides probing, self-reflective questions for teachers, leaders, and teacher educators as well as sample culturally and historically responsive sample plans and text sets across grades and content areas. In this book, Muhammad presents practical approaches to cultivate the genius in students and within teachers.\n\n\nAbout the Author\n\n\nDr. Gholnecsar (Gholdy) Muhammad is an Associate Professor of Language and Literacy at Georgia State University.
