]]> Mar de Amor 33301529 Just off by the sea in a small shabby shack,
Lived Sarah¡¯s whole family, a big crowded pack,
Two parents, three brothers, and three sisters, too;
With less room inside as all the kids grew.
In that little shack down facing the sea,
Three little bedrooms were all there could be,
Her father worked hard as a fisherman bold,
But sometimes he couldn¡¯t find fish to be sold.
**
5.0 out of 5 stars ~~' Good things come if your heart is pure ~~
Sarah and her large family (3 brothers and 3 sisters) live with their parents by the sea. Her Dad is a fisherman and sometimes there isn't much food on their table. They always have enough to eat even if it is only brown bread and soup.

Sarah's best friend is the sea. She tells the sea her most fervent desires and believes the sea listens to her.

Christmas is coming soon and she doesn't dare ask her parents for a new dress but.....she does tell the sea.

What a wonderful surprise she receives one morning. 'Whoever is truly good receives goodness in return'. Wonderful lesson in life to learn at an early age.

The drawings are well done and accompany the text. Colorful and bright which will hold the attention of the little ones in your life. The author has suggested this book is for ages 2 - 7 and P - 2.

Most highly recommended. Serenity... HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWER

5.0 out of 5 stars A surprising gem ! - MFF Jumpmaster
Reviewed in the United States am a fan of the author's children's books. Kids are entertained by the humorous stories while being exposed to positive behavior reinforcement. In spite of our familiarity with her style, she still surprised us on this one.


We found this story so touching that my four-year-old actually cried. The characters' circumstances and actions prompted an amazing conversation about how she might also help others. I am proud of her and grateful that this story served as the catalyst for an important life lesson.]]> 63 Sigal Adler Atul 0 4.52 Mar de Amor

As Sapolsky explains, most of us do not lie awake at night worrying about whether we have leprosy or malaria. Instead, the diseases we fear¡ªand the ones that plague us now¡ªare illnesses brought on by the slow accumulation of damage, such as heart disease and cancer. When we worry or experience stress, our body turns on the same physiological responses that an animal's does, but we do not resolve conflict in the same way¡ªthrough fighting or fleeing.

]]> A Planet of Viruses 10840041 we are actually part virus: the human genome contains more DNA from viruses than our own genes. Meanwhile, scientists are discovering viruses everywhere they look: in the soil, in the ocean, even in caves miles underground.

This fascinating book explores the hidden world of viruses¡ªa world that we all inhabit. Here Carl Zimmer, popular science writer and author of Discover magazine¡¯s award-winning blog The Loom, presents the latest research on how viruses hold sway over our lives and our biosphere, how viruses helped give rise to the first life-forms, how viruses are producing new diseases, how we can harness viruses for our own ends, and how viruses will continue to control our fate for years to come. In this eye-opening tour of the frontiers of biology, where scientists are expanding our understanding of life as we know it, we learn that some treatments for the common cold do more harm than good; that the world¡¯s oceans are home to an astonishing number of viruses; and that the evolution of HIV is now in overdrive, spawning more mutated strains than we care to imagine.

The New York Times Book Review calls Carl Zimmer ¡°as fine a science essayist as we have.¡± A Planet of Viruses is sure to please his many fans and further enhance his reputation as one of America¡¯s most respected and admired science journalists.]]> 109 Carl Zimmer 0226983358 Atul 5 4.02 2011 A Planet of Viruses

]]> World Order 20821140 World Order a deep meditation on the roots of international harmony and global disorder. Drawing on his experience as one of the foremost statesmen of the modern era¡ªadvising presidents, traveling the world, observing and shaping the central foreign policy events of recent decades¡ªKissinger now reveals his analysis of the ultimate challenge for the twenty-first century: how to build a shared international order in a world of divergent historical perspectives, violent conflict, proliferating technology, and ideological extremism.

There has never been a true ¡°world order,¡± Kissinger observes. For most of history, civilizations defined their own concepts of order. Each considered itself the center of the world and envisioned its distinct principles as universally relevant. China conceived of a global cultural hierarchy with the Emperor at its pinnacle. In Europe, Rome imagined itself surrounded by barbarians; when Rome fragmented, European peoples refined a concept of an equilibrium of sovereign states and sought to export it across the world. Islam, in its early centuries, considered itself the world¡¯s sole legitimate political unit, destined to expand indefinitely until the world was brought into harmony by religious principles. The United States was born of a conviction about the universal applicability of democracy¡ªa conviction that has guided its policies ever since.

Now international affairs take place on a global basis, and these historical concepts of world order are meeting. Every region participates in questions of high policy in every other, often instantaneously. Yet there is no consensus among the major actors about the rules and limits guiding this process, or its ultimate destination. The result is mounting tension.

Grounded in Kissinger¡¯s deep study of history and his experience as National Security Advisor and Secretary of State, World Order guides readers through crucial episodes in recent world history. Kissinger offers a unique glimpse into the inner deliberations of the Nixon administration¡¯s negotiations with Hanoi over the end of the Vietnam War, as well as Ronald Reagan¡¯s tense debates with Soviet Premier Gorbachev in Reykjav¨ªk. He offers compelling insights into the future of U.S.¨CChina relations and the evolution of the European Union, and examines lessons of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Taking readers from his analysis of nuclear negotiations with Iran through the West¡¯s response to the Arab Spring and tensions with Russia over Ukraine, World Order anchors Kissinger¡¯s historical analysis in the decisive events of our time.

Provocative and articulate, blending historical insight with geopolitical prognostication, World Order is a unique work that could come only from a lifelong policymaker and diplomat.]]> 420 Henry Kissinger 1594206147 Atul 0 4.04 2014 World Order

]]> <![CDATA[What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions]]> 21413662 xkcd comic ask Munroe a lot of strange questions: What if you tried to hit a baseball pitched at 90 percent the speed of light? How fast can you hit a speed bump while driving and live? If there was a robot apocalypse, how long would humanity last? What if everyone only had one soulmate? What would happen if the moon went away?

In pursuit of answers, Munroe runs computer simulations, pores over stacks of declassified military research memos, solves differential equations, and consults with nuclear reactor operators. His responses are masterpieces of clarity and hilarity, complemented by his signature xkcd comics. (They often predict the complete annihilation of humankind, or at least a really big explosion.)

In celebration of 10 years of unusual insight, Randall Munroe has revised his classic blockbuster to ask what if? x 10. The result is 10x the adventure of scientific inquiry. Featuring brand-new 2-color annotations and illustrations, this special anniversary edition is far more than a book for geeks, What If? explains the laws of science in operation in a way that every intelligent reader will enjoy and feel much smarter for having read.]]> 303 Randall Munroe 0544272994 Atul 5 4.13 2014 What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions

While debates and emotions around porn can run high, there is a crucial need for reliable information and rational conversation. In this book, Shira Tarrant parses the wide range of statistics that we have on the pornography industry, sorting myth from reality in an objective, fascinating and knowledgeable fashion. She looks at ongoing political controversies around the industry, the feminist porn wars, the views of the religious right, the history of pornography, landmark legal cases, and the latest in medical research. The Pornography Industry also explains the industry basics -who works in porn, why people become performers, how much they earn, and what happens on a porn set. It further delves into important questions such how many teenagers watch porn and should we worry about it? What is porn piracy and can it be stopped? What can the industry do about sexist and racist pornography? Does porn cause violence against women? Can people become addicted to porn? Is watching porn
the same as infidelity? By presenting competing perspectives in an even-handed way, The Pornography Industry will enable readers to explore these provocative issues and make their own best decisions about the debates.]]> 216 Shira Tarrant 0190205121 Atul 0 currently-reading 3.47 The Pornography Industry: What Everyone Needs to Know

Don't know what to do with your life? Drawn to so many things that you can't choose just one? New York Times best-selling author Barbara Sher has the answer--do EVERYTHING!

With her popular career counseling sessions, motivational speeches, workshops, and television specials, Barbara Sher has become famous for her extraordinary ability to help people define and achieve their goals. What Sher has discovered is that some individuals simply cannot, and should not, decide on a single path; they are genetically wired to pursue many areas. Sher calls them "Scanners"--people whose unique type of mind does not zero in on a single interest but rather scans the horizon, eager to explore everything they see.

In this groundbreaking book, readers will learn:

?€? what's behind their "hit and run" obsessions

?€? when (and how) to finish what they start

?€? how to do everything they love

?€? what type of Scanner they are (and which tools they need to do their very best work)

]]> <![CDATA[The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma]]> 18693771 A pioneering researcher transforms our understanding of trauma and offers a bold new paradigm for healing.

Trauma is a fact of life. 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 The 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¡ªfrom neurofeedback and meditation to sports, drama, and yoga¡ªthat 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, The Body Keeps the Score exposes the tremendous power of our relationships both to hurt and to heal¡ªand offers new hope for reclaiming lives.]]> 464 Bessel van der Kolk 0670785938 Atul 0 currently-reading 4.36 2014 The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma

]]> La Botoncita Rosada 23599466
En uno de los estantes del armario, habia un recipiente metalico, de forma redondeada, lleno de todo tipo de botones.
Los botones permanecian durmiendo la mayor parte del dia y de la noche, porque el interior del recipiente estaba oscuro y silencioso. Sin embargo, cuando los botones se despertaban, comenzaban a narrarse historias muy interesantes entre si, acerca de como habian terminado en el recipiente.

Entre todos los botones, habia una pequena y timida Botoncita Rosada, que no tenia historia alguna que compartir. Habia vivido en ese recipiente oscuro durante tanto tiempo, que no podia recordar como habia llegado hasta alli.

Dans une petite maison pr¨¨s d'un lac tranquille, vivait une gentille vieille dame. Elle aimait bien pendre son linge sur une corde ¨¤ l'ext¨¦rieur, pour que le soleil et le vent puisse le faire s¨¦cher.

La vieille femme utilisait normalement des pinces ¨¤ linge pour fixer son linge, de sorte que le vent ne puisse pas emporter ses choses dans le lac.
Parmi toutes les pinces ¨¤ linge color¨¦es en plastique, il n'y en avait qu'une seule qui ¨¦tait en bois. La vieille femme l'utilisait rarement parce qu'elle ne pouvait pas trouver son compagnon. La plupart du temps, la pince ¨¤ linge en bois ¨¦tait juste accroch¨¦e sur la corde par elle-m¨ºme en faisant fa?e ¨¤ la for¨ºt, situ¨¦e de l'autre c?t¨¦ du lac.

Un jour, la pince ¨¤ linge en bois solitaire se rendit compte qu'elle ¨¦tait reli¨¦e ¨¤ ces beaux arbres, et d¨¦cida de leur rendre visite. Elle sauta de la corde ¨¤ linge et se dirigea vers le lac.]]> 20 Miley Smiley Atul 4 4.00 2014 La Pince ¨¤ linge

No hab¨ªa un solo zapato en la tienda que no quisiera dejar su aburrido estante. Pero todos esperaban con paciencia su d¨ªa de suerte, aparte de los zapatos rojos, que se pasaban el d¨ªa entero diciendo que eran los mejores y ten¨ªan que ser elegidos antes que los dem¨¢s.

En el mostrador de la cocina, entre el salero y el tarro de galletas, reposa la Taza Vieja y Fea. Es tan vieja que puede recordar el tiempo en que la abuela de la familia era tan solo una nina pequena. Cuando es tarde en la noche y toda la familia esta durmiendo, la Taza Vieja y Fea comienza a narrar sus incontables y divertidas historias, para los otros habitantes de la cocina, con una voz suave y gentil.

Como siempre, a todos en la cocina les gusta escuchar sus historias. Incluso el grunon Cepillo de Fregar, quien es casi siempre tan maleducado y a quien tanto le gusta discutir, suele permanecer en silencio, escuchando.
Esta es una de las historias que escuche por casualidad, acerca de ?Las Dos Bananas Verdes?, contada por nuestra Taza Vieja y Fea¡­

Lo que dicen los lectores y los criticos.

]]> <![CDATA[Ending Aging: The Rejuvenation Breakthroughs That Could Reverse Human Aging in Our Lifetime]]> 519781 A long life in a healthy, vigorous, youthful body has always been one of humanity's greatest dreams. Recent progress in genetic manipulations and calorie-restricted diets in laboratory animals hold forth the promise that someday science will enable us to exert total control over our own biological aging.
Nearly all scientists who study the biology of aging agree that we will someday be able to substantially slow down the aging process, extending our productive, youthful lives. Dr. Aubrey de Grey is perhaps the most bullish of all such researchers. As has been reported in media outlets ranging from 60 Minutes to The New York Times, Dr. de Grey believes that the key biomedical technology required to eliminate aging-derived debilitation and death entirely--technology that would not only slow but periodically reverse age-related physiological decay, leaving us biologically young into an indefinite future--is now within reach.

In Ending Aging, Dr. de Grey and his research assistant Michael Rae describe the details of this biotechnology. They explain that the aging of the human body, just like the aging of man-made machines, results from an accumulation of various types of damage. As with man-made machines, this damage can periodically be repaired, leading to indefinite extension of the machine's fully functional lifetime, just as is routinely done with classic cars. We already know what types of damage accumulate in the human body, and we are moving rapidly toward the comprehensive development of technologies to remove that damage. By demystifying aging and its postponement for the nonspecialist reader, de Grey and Rae systematically dismantle the fatalist presumption that aging will forever defeat the efforts of medical science.]]> 389 Aubrey de Grey 0312367066 Atul 0 to-read 4.07 2007 Ending Aging: The Rejuvenation Breakthroughs That Could Reverse Human Aging in Our Lifetime

]]> <![CDATA[Babel No More: The Search for the World's Most Extraordinary Language Learners]]> 12232795 Word Freak and The Language Instinct comes a fascinating exploration of linguistic superlearners whose abilities shed light on the intellectual potential in us all.

What do an Italian cardinal, a Connecticut blacksmith, and a German diplomat have in common with an MIT linguist, a Hungarian translator, and a Scottish church organist? They were all "hyperpolyglots," "language superlearners," or "massive multilinguals." In Babel No More, Michael Erard delves into the lives and minds of these intriguing individuals both past and present and discovers the upper limit of the human ability to learn, speak, and remember languages.

Hyperpolyglots - people who, by one definition, can use six or more languages - are fascinating not simply because what they do is out of the ordinary. Rather, their accomplishments serve as a point of reference for the rest of us; in some ways they are what the author calls a gifted neural tribe, absorbing language for reasons, and with methods, that few people would emulate. But they are also marked by simple, if dogged, methods: the most prolific multilingual in history, Cardinal Mezzofanti, used flashcards. Taken together, their pursuits present a natural experiment into the limits and the nature of memory and language.

Part scientific detective story, part travelogue, part valentine to anyone who's ever hoped to sprechen or parler something other than a mother tongue, Babel No More takes us all over the world to look at language learning in an entirely new way.]]> 307 Michael Erard 1451628250 Atul 5 3.52 2012 Babel No More: The Search for the World's Most Extraordinary Language Learners

]]> <![CDATA[The Box: How the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World Economy Bigger]]> 316767
Published on the fiftieth anniversary of the first container voyage, this is the first comprehensive history of the shipping container. It recounts how the drive and imagination of an iconoclastic entrepreneur, Malcom McLean, turned containerization from an impractical idea into a massive industry that slashed the cost of transporting goods around the world and made the boom in global trade possible.

But the container didn't just happen. Its adoption required huge sums of money, both from private investors and from ports that aspired to be on the leading edge of a new technology. It required years of high-stakes bargaining with two of the titans of organized labor, Harry Bridges and Teddy Gleason, as well as delicate negotiations on standards that made it possible for almost any container to travel on any truck or train or ship. Ultimately, it took McLean's success in supplying U.S. forces in Vietnam to persuade the world of the container's potential.

Drawing on previously neglected sources, economist Marc Levinson shows how the container transformed economic geography, devastating traditional ports such as New York and London and fueling the growth of previously obscure ones, such as Oakland. By making shipping so cheap that industry could locate factories far from its customers, the container paved the way for Asia to become the world's workshop and brought consumers a previously unimaginable variety of low-cost products from around the globe.]]> 392 Marc Levinson 0691123241 Atul 0 3.79 2006 The Box: How the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World Economy Bigger

How do computers and robots change the meaning of being human? How do we deal with the epidemic of fake news? Are nations and religions still relevant? What should we teach our children?

Yuval Noah Harari's 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is a probing and visionary investigation into today's most urgent issues as we move into the uncharted territory of the future. As technology advances faster than our understanding of it, hacking becomes a tactic of war, and the world feels more polarized than ever, Harari addresses the challenge of navigating life in the face of constant and disorienting change and raises the important questions we need to ask ourselves in order to survive.

In twenty-one accessible chapters that are both provocative and profound, Harari builds on the ideas explored in his previous books, untangling political, technological, social, and existential issues and offering advice on how to prepare for a very different future from the world we now live in: How can we retain freedom of choice when Big Data is watching us? What will the future workforce look like, and how should we ready ourselves for it? How should we deal with the threat of terrorism? Why is liberal democracy in crisis?

Harari's unique ability to make sense of where we have come from and where we are going has captured the imaginations of millions of readers. Here he invites us to consider values, meaning, and personal engagement in a world full of noise and uncertainty. When we are deluged with irrelevant information, clarity is power. Presenting complex contemporary challenges clearly and accessibly, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is essential reading.]]> 372 Yuval Noah Harari 0525512179 Atul 3 4.15 2018 21 Lessons for the 21st Century

]]> <![CDATA[The Telomere Effect: A Revolutionary Approach to Living Younger, Healthier, Longer]]> 30145147 Groundbreaking book by the Nobel Prize Winner who discovered telomeres, telomerase, and their role in the aging process, and the psychologist who researched specific lifestyle habits to protect them and slow down disease and lengthen life.
Have you wondered why some 60-year-olds look and feel like 40-year-olds and why some 40-year-olds look and feel like 60-year-olds? While many factors contribute to aging and illness, Nobel Prize-winning Doctor Elizabeth Blackburn discovered biological markers, called telomerase, the enzyme that replenishes telomeres, which protect our DNA. Dr. Blackburn discovered that the length and health of one's telomeres provides a biological basis for the long-hypothesized mind-body connection. But perhaps more importantly, along with leading health psychologist Dr. Elissa Epel, she discovered that there are things we can do to improve and lengthen our telomeres to keep us vital and disease-free.

This book will help people increase the reader's lifespan and health-span (the number of years during this time that they remain healthy and active), including information on how sleep, exercise, and diet profoundly affect our telomeres, and how chronic stress can eat away at our telomeres. Included are lists of which foods are healthy for our telomeres; how aging begins in utero (mothers who are highly stressed during pregnancy have children with shorter telomeres), and how thinking you are young and vital helps keep you that way!

]]> <![CDATA[Cannibalism: A Perfectly Natural History]]> 28110850
In Cannibalism: A Perfectly Natural History, zoologist Bill Schutt sets the record straight, debunking common myths and investigating our new understanding of cannibalism's role in biology, anthropology, and history in the most fascinating account yet written on this complex topic. Schutt takes readers from Arizona's Chiricahua Mountains, where he wades through ponds full of tadpoles devouring their siblings, to the Sierra Nevadas, where he joins researchers who are shedding new light on what happened to the Donner Party--the most infamous episode of cannibalism in American history. He even meets with an expert on the preparation and consumption of human placenta (and, yes, it goes well with Chianti).

Bringing together the latest cutting-edge science, Schutt answers questions such as why some amphibians consume their mother's skin; why certain insects bite the heads off their partners after sex; why, up until the end of the twentieth century, Europeans regularly ate human body parts as medical curatives; and how cannibalism might be linked to the extinction of the Neanderthals. He takes us into the future as well, investigating whether, as climate change causes famine, disease, and overcrowding, we may see more outbreaks of cannibalism in many more species--including our own.

Cannibalism places a perfectly natural occurrence into a vital new context and invites us to explore why it both enthralls and repels us.

]]> <![CDATA[Give and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to Success]]> 16158498 Give and Take highlights what effective networking, collaboration, influence, negotiation, and leadership skills have in common.

For generations, we have focused on the individual drivers of success: passion, hard work, talent, and luck. But today, success is increasingly dependent on how we interact with others. It turns out that at work, most people operate as either takers, matchers, or givers. Whereas takers strive to get as much as possible from others and matchers aim to trade evenly, givers are the rare breed of people who contribute to others without expecting anything in return.

Using his own pioneering research as Wharton's youngest tenured professor, Grant shows that these styles have a surprising impact on success. Although some givers get exploited and burn out, the rest achieve extraordinary results across a wide range of industries. Combining cutting-edge evidence with captivating stories, this landmark book shows how one of America's best networkers developed his connections, why the creative genius behind one of the most popular shows in television history toiled for years in anonymity, how a basketball executive responsible for multiple draft busts transformed his franchise into a winner, and how we could have anticipated Enron's demise four years before the company collapsed - without ever looking at a single number.

Praised by bestselling authors such as Dan Pink, Tony Hsieh, Dan Ariely, Susan Cain, Dan Gilbert, Gretchen Rubin, Bob Sutton, David Allen, Robert Cialdini, and Seth Godin-as well as senior leaders from Google, McKinsey, Merck, Estee Lauder, Nike, and NASA - Give and Take highlights what effective networking, collaboration, influence, negotiation, and leadership skills have in common. This landmark book opens up an approach to success that has the power to transform not just individuals and groups, but entire organizations and communities.]]> 320 Adam M.

]]> <![CDATA[Skin in the Game: The Hidden Asymmetries in Daily Life]]> 36064445 New York Times bestselling author of The Black Swan, a bold new work that challenges many of our long-held beliefs about risk and reward, politics and religion, finance and personal responsibility

In his most provocative and practical book yet, one of the foremost thinkers of our time redefines what it means to understand the world, succeed in a profession, contribute to a fair and just society, detect nonsense, and influence others. Citing examples ranging from Hammurabi to Seneca, Antaeus the Giant to Donald Trump, Nassim Nicholas Taleb shows how the willingness to accept one¡¯s own risks is an essential attribute of heroes, saints, and flourishing people in all walks of life.

As always both accessible and iconoclastic, Taleb challenges long-held beliefs about the values of those who spearhead military interventions, make financial investments, and propagate religious faiths. Among his insights:

? For social justice,?focus on symmetry and risk sharing. You cannot make profits and transfer the risks to others, as bankers and large corporations do. You cannot get rich without owning your own risk and paying for your own losses. Forcing skin in the game corrects this asymmetry better than thousands of laws and regulations.
? Ethical rules aren¡¯t universal. You¡¯re part of a group larger than you, but it¡¯s still smaller than humanity in general.
? Minorities, not majorities, run the world. The world is not run by consensus but by stubborn minorities imposing their tastes and ethics on others.
? You can be an intellectual yet still be an idiot. ¡°Educated philistines¡± have been wrong on everything from Stalinism to Iraq to low-carb diets.
? Beware of complicated solutions (that someone was paid to find). A simple barbell can build muscle better than expensive new machines.
? True religion is commitment, not just faith. How much you believe in something is manifested only by what you¡¯re willing to risk for it.

The phrase ¡°skin in the game¡± is one we have often heard but rarely stopped to truly dissect. It is the backbone of risk management, but it¡¯s also an astonishingly rich worldview that, as Taleb shows in this book, applies to all aspects of our lives. As Taleb says, ¡°The symmetry of skin in the game is a simple rule that¡¯s necessary for fairness and justice, and the ultimate BS-buster,¡± and ¡°Never trust anyone who doesn¡¯t have skin in the game. Without it, fools and crooks will benefit, and their mistakes will never come back to haunt them.¡±]]> 272 Nassim Nicholas Taleb 0241300657 Atul 0 to-read 3.88 2018 Skin in the Game: The Hidden Asymmetries in Daily Life
