Tempt Me If You Can - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: When confirmed bachelor Benjamin Sinclair receives an anonymous letter claiming he has a teenage son, he’s in shock. He tries to track down his first love, but found that she’d disappeared completely, leaving their son Michael with her sister Emma. When Ben finds that once-shy Emma Sands has blossomed into the strong, beautiful owner of a small chain of sporting camps, he signs up as a guest, hoping that in sixteen years he’s changed enough that she won’t recognize him, and he can get to know his son without complication. But Emma would recognize Ben Sinclair anywhere, anytime—and so does Michael. While Michael can’t wait to get to know his father, Emma is more cautious, fully aware that the kind of man who would abandon his pregnant girlfriend and his son is one she didn’t want around. Realizing that he’s falling in love with not only his newly discovered son, but also Emma, Ben becomes determined to find a way to make her love him back.
One Kiss From You (Switching Places Series) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Eleanor de Lacy must have been mad to agree to exchange identities with her stronger-willed cousin. She would never convince Remington Knight of the folly of this union – especially since the man seemed so determined for it to take place. Worse still, she finds Remington dazzling attractive – and she’s charmed by his attempts to seduce her, even though he believes she is already his. But if he ever learns of Eleanor’s deception, this daring rogue will wreak havoc…upon her reputation and her heart. Remington had expected a haughty, unbending aristocrat who would ensure his entrance into good society. But this “duchess” is a most pleasant surprise – modest, warm-hearted, endearingly awkward, and a delight to the eye. In short, she is exactly the sort of bride Remington could fall passionately, completely in love with…if he weren’t so intent on his revenge.

The Doctor's Heart Cure, Beyond the Modern Myths of Diet and Exercise: The Clinically-Proven Plan of Breakthrough Health Secrets That Helps You Build a Powerful, Disease-Free Heart - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Over 900,000 Americans a year are dying of heart disease - and the numbers are rising. Our current diet and exercise strategies have failed to find a solution. According to Al Sears, M. D., it's time to abandon the Modern Gospel of low-fat food and long-duration exercise as a path to heart health. We need the very opposite: heart disease continues to be America's biggest killer - and obesity has reached epidemic proportions - because of the fad for low-fat diets and despite aerobics.The solution is to reengineer the diet and exercise habits of our hunter-gatherer ancestors to fit our modern culture. To build a strong and resilient heart, says Dr. Sears, engage in brief, explosive bouts of intense exercise. Consume a diet rich in high quality fat, organic proteins and liberal helpings of fruits and vegetables. Avoid grain-based starches. Take supplements to counteract the nutritional deficiencies of modern produce.Dr. Sears has used this plan to help more than 15,000 patients successfully reverse heart disease, build stronger hearts, manage their weight and abandon their heart

The book is especially for people who value self-growth and development to become happier healthier people. It teaches how to explore deep causes of stress and unhappiness and how to find alternative routes to happiness no matter what the situation is. It explores underlying beliefs that lead to pessimism versus realistic optimism. People often look for a book about how to overcome past low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, procrastination, shyness, lack of assertiveness, or other specific problems. However, these problems are often just symptoms of deeper beliefs that cause the person to think or act dysfunctionally. What is "broken" usually isn't just a habit, but one's basic beliefs. In contrast to the specific, problem-oriented approaches of many books on the

Writing in the Devil's Tongue: A History of English Composition in China - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Asense of complacency, if not outright chauvinism, is tangible these daysin certain parts of American composition studies. Sensational state-ments of one kind or another—“Composition Studies Saves the World!”;“Globalizing Composition”; “Transnationalizing/Globalizing Rhetoric andComposition Studies”; and so forth—reveal not only tremendous disciplin-ary pride but also compositionists’ confidence in what the discipline cando: namely, rescue the troubled world at large.1 And why shouldn’t we beconfident about what the discipline can achieve? After all, we have gaineda better understanding of our students, students of diverse linguistic, cul-tural, racial, sexual, and class backgrounds who have made such a strongpresence in American universities since the 1960s; and we have developedeffective pedagogical approaches to address those students’ needs. Project-ing this national experience to the rest of the globe, we naturally becomeoptimistic. Indeed, the rest of the world is also hopeful now, looking toAmerican composition studies for standards of English writing practicesand proven pedagogies.As the teaching of composition is increasingly connected to global po-litico-economic dynamics, our disciplinary effort to lift composition out ofnarrow nation-state bounds is the right direction to go. However, Americancomposition scholars do not seem fully cognizant of the geopolitical differ-ences and stakes involved in the teaching of English writing. For one thing,while English has been taught as the native language, the official language,or a second language in the United States, it is typically taught as a foreignlanguage in the majority of nations in the world. A different name for Englishentails a different history of the language in a particular country. A differ-ent name for English entails a whole different constellation of values andpractices in teaching English writing
You Have a Point There: A Guide to Punctuation and Its Allies - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: SOME DAY a doctorate will justly be awarded to a scholar braveenough to write a history of the theory and practice of British andAmerican punctuation, from the time when there certainly was noneuntil the time when there will perhaps be none.I have aimed at something much less ambitious. Eschewing all butthe most recent history—except, here and there, for the sake of anexample—I deal only with the theory and especially the practice ofpunctuation as we know it today and knew it yesterday; and withsuch allies or accessories as capitals, italics, quotation marks,hyphens, paragraphs.Acquainted with ‘the literature of the subject’, I recognize themerits, both of such books as that of T.F. and M.F.A.Husband, that ofMr G.V.Carey and that of Mr Reginald Skelton, and of the chapters orentries in such works as the Fowler brothers’ The King’s English,H.W.Fowler’s Modern English Usage and G.H.Vallins’s Good English.This recognition and that knowledge strongly confirm me in adetermination (publicly stated in the article on punctuation in Usageand Abusage, 1942 in U.S.A., 1947 in Britain) to write a comprehensiveguide to punctuation and its concomitants. Such a guide is very badlyneeded, especially in what I have called ‘orchestration’: andorchestration forms the subject of the quite painfully practicalBook III.
Time Mastery: How Temporal Intelligence Will Make You A Stronger, More Effective Leader - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: To be most effective, leaders must move beyond time management to time mastery. Time managers are reliant on clocks and calendars; time masters develop an intuitive sense of timing. Time managers see time as a fixed, rigid constant; time masters view it as relative and malleable. Time masters have what John Clemens and Scott Dalrymple call the critical skill of "temporal intelligence." Based on more than four years of research, Time Mastery includes dozens of examples of leaders whose temporal intelligence has helped them achieve business breakthroughs at organizations such as GE, 3M, Staples, and Dell. Readers will learn to develop six time-mastery behaviors, including how to: treat time as a continuous "flow" of peak experience * set the rhythm of their organization * look beyond the moment and encourage long-term, strategic thinking * and use time as an energizing principle that drives improvement. With intriguing examples from sports, science, history, and the performing arts, as well as business, Time Mastery takes a fascinating, in-depth look at a surprising new leadership skill.آیا کتاب مورد نظر هنوز بر روی سایت قرار نگرفته است؟ جای نگرانی نیست! کافی است بر روی گزینه سفارش کتاب کلیک کرده و درخواست خود را ثبت کنید. در کمتر از چند ساعت کتاب شما را آماده خواهیم کرد.
