    Einstein Never Used Flash Cards: How Our Children Really Learn--and Why They Need to Play More and Memorize Less , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 753min
    Play Is Back Reassuring to parents and educators, Einstein Never Used Flash Cards shows why - and how - to step away from the cult of achievement and toward a more nurturing home life full of imaginative play and love of learning. Here's the message that stressed-out parents are craving to hear: It's okay to play! In fact, it's more than just okay - it's better than drilling academics. After decades of research, scientists and child development experts have come to a clear conclusion: Play is the best way for our children to learn. Children who are prematurely pushed into regimented academic instruction display less creativity and enthusiasm for learning than their peers. Children who memorize isolated facts early in life show no better long-term retention than their peers. Children who learn through play also develop social and emotional skills, which are critical for long-term success. Somewhere along the line, we've gotten off track by stressing academic products and programs to our preschoolers. Thankfully, Dr. Kathy Hirsh-Pasek and Dr. Roberta Michnick Golinkoff have a simple remedy for our children that is based on overwhelming scientific evidence from their own studies and the collective research results of child development experts. Einstein Never Used Flash Cards goes beyond debunking the myths spread by the accelerated-learning industry. Parents and educators will find a practical guide to introducing complex concepts through smart, simple, and loving play. For every key area of a child's development (speech, reading, math, social skills, self-awareness, and intelligence), you'll understand how a child's mind actually learns. Then you'll discover exercises (40 in all) that will showcase emerging skills and leave your child smiling today - and prepared for tomorrow. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Eliza Foss.

    Summary, Analysis, and Review of Timothy Ferriss's The 4-Hour Workweek , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 34min
    Please note: This is an analysis and key takeaways of the book and not the original book. Start Publishing Notes' Summary, Analysis, and Review of Timothy Ferriss's The 4-Hour Workweek includes a summary of the book, review, analysis and key takeaways, and detailed "About the Author" section. Preview: The 4-Hour Workweek is self-help guru and entrepreneur Tim Ferriss's first entry into the genre. Published in 2007, the book offers an alternative to the monotonous nine-to-five, 40-hour workweek in which many Americans have found themselves. Ferriss begins The 4-Hour Workweek by emphasizing that anyone - regardless of education, privilege, or age - can put his methodology to use in order to achieve the sort of leisured, mobile lifestyle he enjoys. To set an example, Ferriss offers listeners a brief primer on his own history and achievements: he was born six weeks prematurely and held a series of odd jobs throughout his life including, but not limited to, a turn as a failed audiobook peddler as well as a summer stint as a cleaner at an ice cream parlor. Despite having a SAT score 40% lower than the average freshman, Ferris enrolled at Princeton with a major in neuroscience before switching to East Asian studies. While at school, Ferriss developed a knack for entrepreneurship, in turn providing a profitable outlet for his workaholic inclinations. Over the course of his time at Princeton he worked as a bouncer, developed and sold a speed-reading course, and was briefly employed by Berlitz, one of the world's foremost publishers of language learning tools. ungekürzt.

    The Trains Now Departed , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 645min
    Sometimes you come across a lofty railway viaduct marooned in the middle of a remote country landscape. Or a crumbling platform from some once-bustling junction buried under the buddleia. If you are lucky you might be able to follow some rusting tracks or explore an old tunnel leading to...well, who knows where? Listen hard. Is that the wind in the undergrowth? Or the spectre of a train from a golden era of the past panting up the embankment? These are the ghosts of The Trains Now Departed. They are the railway lines, and services that ran on them that have disappeared and gone forever. Our lost legacy includes lines prematurely axed, often with gripping and colourful tales of their own, as well as marvels of locomotive engineering sent to the scrapyard and grand termini felled by the wrecker's ball. Then there are the lost delights of train travel, such as haute cuisine in the dining car, the grand expresses with their evocative names, and continental boat trains to romantic, far-off places. The Trains Now Departed tells the stories of some of the most fascinating lost trains of Britain, vividly evoking the glories of a bygone age. In his personal odyssey around Britain, Michael Williams tells the tales of the pioneers who built the tracks and the yarns of the men and women who operated them and the colourful trains that ran on them. It is a journey into the soul of our railways, summoning up a magic which, although mired in time, is fortunately not lost for ever. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Tudor Barnes.

But her hopes are dashed when a state agricultural inspector threatens to shut down the market prematurely...right before a young woman falls to her death from the lighthouse cliff! The local homicide detective thinks it was suicide and won't listen to Maria's extensive list of possible suspects for foul play or the fact that the victim was known for getting into fights that went beyond mere words. Not even Maria's boyfriend, lawyer turned farmer Merle Curtis, can convince the detective otherwise. Now, it's up to Maria to unearth a secret in the pumpkin patch before the killer buries the truth - and possibly Maria along with it - forever. The Danger Cove series: Secret of the Painted Lady (A Danger Cove Renovation Mystery) Murder and Mai Tais (A Danger Cove Cocktail Mystery) Death by Scones (A Danger Cove Bakery Mystery) Four-Patch of Trouble (A Danger Cove Quilting Mystery) Deadly Dye and a Soy Chai (A Danger Cove Hair Salon Mystery) Killer Closet Case (A Danger Cove B&B Mystery) Tree of Life and Death (A Danger Cove Quilting Mystery) A Killing in the Market (A Danger Cove Farmers' Market short story in the "Killer Beach Reads" collection) Killer Colada (A Danger Cove Cocktail Mystery) Passion, Poison & Puppy Dogs (A Danger Cove Pet Sitter Mystery)A Novel Death (A Danger Cove Bookshop Mystery)Robbing Peter to Kill Paul (A Danger Cove Quilting Mystery)Sinister Snickerdoodles (A Danger Cove Bakery Mystery)Hurricanes and Heroes (A Danger Cove Cocktail Mystery) ungekürzt.

Former CDC Scientist Sylvester Fuentes, the apparent target, is killed along with others. Destroyed in the conflagration was the Omega antiserum Fuentes had been working to perfect and just hours prior had tested successfully on one of the recently infected. Meanwhile, returning prematurely from a mission to set off two nukes in the path of an advancing horde of living dead numbering several hundred thousand strong, and with his Delta Force commander Mike Desantos infected and dying from the Omega virus, Cade Grayson is forced to do something no friend should have to do.

These questions and the other important issues of legally enforceable promises are covered in these eight lectures. As you'll learn in these eight lectures, contractual agreements are one of the principal mechanisms for ordering life in society. Professor Cross lays a comprehensive foundation in the practical and intricate body of law that governs contracts. Throughout his expertly delivered lectures, he guides you through a range of topics and issues and helps you finally make better sense of business contracts-in all their seemingly overwhelming complexity. You'll explore the boundaries of contracts in law, including the four main requirements that any contract must satisfy.
