    España: A Brief History of Spain (eBook, ePUB)
    Bestselling author Giles Tremlett traverses the rich and varied history of Spain, from prehistoric times to today, in a brief, accessible primer for visitors, curious readers and hispanophiles. Spain's position on Europe's south-western corner has exposed it to cultural, political and actual winds blowing from all quadrants. Africa lies a mere nine miles to the south. The Mediterranean connects it to the civilizational currents of Phoenicians, Romans, Carthaginians, and Byzantines as well as the Arabic lands of the near east. Bronze Age migrants from the Russian steppe were amongst the first to arrive. They would be followed by Visigoths, Arabs, Napoleonic armies and many more invaders and immigrants. Circular winds and currents linked it to the American continent, allowing Spain to conquer and colonize much of it. As a result, Spain has developed a sort of hybrid vigour. Whenever it has tried to deny this inevitable heterogeneity, it has required superhuman effort to fashion a 'pure' national identity - which has proved impossible to maintain. In España, Giles Tremlett argues that, in fact, that lack of a homogenous identity is Spain's defining trait.

    Summary of 'The Whole-Brain Child' by Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson | Includes Analysis , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 25min
    Summary of The Whole-Brain Child by Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson | Includes Analysis Preview: The Whole-Brain Child by Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson offers recommendations for a whole-brain approach to parenting. This approach emphasizes the importance of integrating the four quadrants of a child's brain, whether in challenging or joyous moments. Geared toward the brain development of children from birth to age 12, the whole-brain approach includes 12 parenting strategies based on current brain research, as well as a concise breakdown that describes how to apply these strategies at different ages and stages. When children are taught to use their whole brain, they become more balanced and healthy overall with a heightened capacity for self-awareness, empathy, and relationship-building. Most parents want their children to thrive, to be happy, resilient, productive, and engaged. Yet, caring for a developing child is trying, as children are prone to tantrums, bouts of outsized fears, and other challenging behaviors. In such moments, many parents just hope to survive.

    Agile Testing
    "As Agile methods have entered the mainstream, we've learned a lot about how the testing discipline fits into Agile projects. Lisa and Janet give us a solid look at what to do, and what to avoid, in Agile testing." -Ron Jeffries, www.XProgramming.com "An excellent introduction to agile and how it affects the software test community!" -Gerard Meszaros, Agile Practice Lead and Chief Test Strategist at Solution Frameworks, Inc., an agile coaching and lean software development consultancy "In sports and music, people know the importance of practicing technique until it becomes a part of the way they do things. This book is about some of the most fundamental techniques in software development-how to build quality into code-techniques that should become second nature to every development team. The book provides both broad and in-depth coverage of how to move testing to the front of the development process, along with a liberal sprinkling of real-life examples that bring the book to life." -Mary Poppendieck, Author of Lean Software Development and Implementing Lean Software Development "Refreshingly pragmatic. Chock-full of wisdom. Absent of dogma. This book is a gamechanger. Every software professional should read it." -Uncle Bob Martin, Object Mentor, Inc. "With Agile Testing, Lisa and Janet have used their holistic sensibility of testing to describe a culture shift for testers and teams willing to elevate their test effectiveness. The combination of real-life project experiences and specific techniques provide an excellent way to learn and adapt to continually changing project needs." -Adam Geras, M.Sc. Developer-Tester, Ideaca Knowledge Services "On Agile projects, everyone seems to ask, 'But, what about testing?' Is it the development team's responsibility entirely, the testing team, or a collaborative effort between developers and testers? Or, 'How much testing should we automate?' Lisa and Janet have written a book that finally answers these types of questions and more! Whether you're a tester, developer, or manager, you'll learn many great examples and stories from the real-world work experiences they've shared in this excellent book." -Paul Duvall, CTO of Stelligent and co-author of Continuous Integration: Improving Software Quality and Reducing Risk "Finally a book for testers on Agile teams that acknowledges there is not just one right way! Agile Testing provides comprehensive coverage of the issues testers face when they move to Agile: from tools and metrics to roles and process. Illustrated with numerous stories and examples from many contributors, it gives a clear picture of what successful Agile testers are doing today." -Bret Pettichord, Chief Technical Officer of WatirCraft and Lead Developer of Watir Testing is a key component of agile development. The widespread adoption of agile methods has brought the need for effective testing into the limelight, and agile projects have transformed the role of testers. Much of a tester's function, however, remains largely misunderstood. What is the true role of a tester? Do agile teams actually need members with QA backgrounds? What does it really mean to be an "agile tester?" Two of the industry's most experienced agile testing practitioners and consultants, Lisa Crispin and Janet Gregory, have teamed up to bring you the definitive answers to these questions and many others. In Agile Testing, Crispin and Gregory define agile testing and illustrate the tester's role with examples from real agile teams. They teach you how to use the agile testing quadrants to identify what testing is needed, who should do it, and what tools might help. The book chronicles an agile software development iteration from the viewpoint of a tester and explains the seven key success factors of agile testing. Readers will come away from this book understanding How to get testers engaged in agile development Where testers and QA managers fit on an agile team What to look for when hiring an agile tester How to transition from a traditional cycle to agile development How to complete testing activities in short iterations How to use tests to successfully guide development How to overcome barriers to test automation This book is a must for agile testers, agile teams, their managers, and their customers.

    PTSD and Complex PTSD: Relief from Supplements, Salt Ion Therapy, Crystals, Gemstones, and More! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 33min
    If you have PTSD or complex PTSD, you know firsthand how extremely debilitating the symptoms can be. You might wake up in the middle of the night, sweating profusely. You might experience night terrors where intruders or other people are attacking or harming you. You could be suffering from flashbacks of your trauma during the day that interrupt your daily activities. You might suffer from social anxiety so severe that makes it difficult to get outside the home and attend work or school. Some people even wake up with bruises and scratches on their skin. People with PTSD symptoms often suffer from agitation, rage, anger, sadness, helplessness, and hopelessness. A sufferer that is severe on all four quadrants of the PTSD and complex PTSD testing and diagnostic scales might suffer such fear and anxiety that they may consider suicide, cutting, self-harm, or dangerous activities as the only relief to their symptoms. Many people are misdiagnosed or underdiagnosed for much of their lives. They may not tell the doctors, counselors or psychiatrists how distressing their psychiatric symptoms are for fear of shame and humiliation. They may be afraid to be called "neurotic", "crazy", or psychotic. Many people who suffer from PTSD or complex PTSD don't go in to get treatment for fear that they will be hospitalized, and that they will carry the stigma for the rest of their lives that they are classified as "mentally ill". Still others think that PTSD or complex PTSD only happens to veterans, people who suffer from severe attacks or natural disasters or others who have experienced "much" trauma. The truth of the matter is that anyone can suffer from complex PTSD and PTSD at any time. Any type of trauma in people who are not resilient, who lack social support, or who are genetically predisposed to naturally being anxious via their DNA can cause PTSD or complex PTSD. ungekürzt.
