    Paperback. Etat : Good. You?ve never met a babysitter like Mr. Pudgins!When Mr. Pudgins comes to watch John, Pete, and Janey, all kinds of crazy things happen.

Somehow all evidence of their antics is erased by the time Mother and Father get home. Mr. Pudgins is the best babysitter ever! But what happens when John, Pete, and Janey grow older? Ruth Christoffer Carlsen?s classic novel, first published in 1951, celebrates the power of the imagination through one unforgettable babysitter.

    Paperback. Etat : Good. Updated Version of Strengths Life Volume One, Now with 4x the Strengths content Learn How to Take Your StrengthsFinder 2.0 Results to the Max TodayBecome the Best Version of Yourself NOWIn the last decade, I've shared in thousands of conversations about Strengths. As a coach, it has been my mission to explore with my clients each aspect of what it means to be Strengths focused and to live from a place of what it possible, instead of what needs fixing. What I have found, time and time again, is that when we are each able to get out of our own we can step into a life with greater meaning, less stress, and more aliveness. There is no greater tool that I have found than StrengthsFinder/CliftonStrengths to begin this journey to personal freedom. The following pages are organized into two distinct sections. The first is a deep dive into one of the four Strengths Domains, which are: Executing, Influencing, Strategic Thinking, and Relationship Building. These are categories designed by the creators of the StrengthsFinder/CliftonStrengths, which organizes the 34 Strengths Themes into specific clusters. The Strengths Themes represented in this collection are in the Executing Domain-Achiever, Arranger, Belief, Consistency, Deliberative, Discipline, Focus, Responsibility, and Restorative.Here's a taste: What Is the ACHIEVER ThemeThere is a drive and an inner-fire present in the lives of those who embody this theme. They are productive and, generally, self-starting and self-fueling. They rarely need prodding to get things done. The day isn't over until something has been objectively accomplished. They are not big on theoretical achievements or simple participation-they want results, something that can be pointed to and crossed off of the list. When Achievers go on vacation, for example, they like to do things and generally make the rounds on wherever they visit. They place a high value on actions that produce tangible outcomes.Why Should We CareThese are the people who get things done-they may even seem obsessed with it-so, when the going gets tough, Achievers are the ones to help us push through. They are the ones who set the pace, buckle down, and deliver results. They may never be satisfied with what they've done, which means they are always hungry for more and newer challenges. They help us all take projects, plans, and visions out of the theoretical and into the actual.Ten Things to Know About People with ACHIEVER1. Stamina. These folks have stamina when it comes to work. Long hours and pushing through can actually be sources of energy for them. (Cont'd in the book)The second section of this book includes a collection of observations and reflections about how a Strengths mindset can best develop in each of us. This section is based on the epic coaching conversations I've had with people all over the world about their Strengths and the countless of hours of study and writing on this powerful tool.The idea in both sections is to expand on the base that has created by Strengths ambassadors around the globe and the idea here is to explore each theme more deeply than ever. The idea is not to challenge the already established ideas regarding each of the 34 Strengths Themes. Instead, in the following pages, those original ideas will be built upon and, in some cases, unpacked more thoroughly than what is presently available online and in print. …

Kirkus (starred review)"[An] adventure tale that make[s] Indiana Jones seem tame.? ? Library JournalIn 1839, rumors of extraordinary yet baffling stone ruins buried within the unmapped jungles of Central America reached two of the world?s most intrepid travelers. Seized by the reports, American diplomat John Lloyd Stephens and British artist Frederick Catherwood?both already celebrated for their adventures in Egypt, the Holy Land, Greece, and Rome?sailed together out of New York Harbor on an expedition into the forbidding rainforests of present-day Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico. What they found would upend the West?s understanding of human history.In the tradition of Lost City of Z and In the Kingdom of Ice, former San Francisco Chronicle journalist and Pulitzer Prize finalist William Carlsen reveals the remarkable story of the discovery of the ancient Maya. Enduring disease, war, and the torments of nature and terrain, Stephens and Catherwood meticulously uncovered and documented the remains of an astonishing civilization that had flourished in the Americas at the same time as classic Greece and Rome?and had been its rival in art, architecture, and power. Their masterful book about the experience, written by Stephens and illustrated by Catherwood, became a sensation, hailed by Edgar Allan Poe as ?perhaps the most interesting book of travel ever published? and recognized today as the birth of American archaeology. Most important, Stephens and Catherwood were the first to grasp the significance of the Maya remains, understanding that their antiquity and sophistication overturned the West?s assumptions about the development of civilization.By the time of the flowering of classical Greece (400 b.c.), the Maya were already constructing pyramids and temples around central plazas. Within a few hundred years the structures took on a monumental scale that required millions of man-hours of labor, and technical and organizational expertise. Over the next millennium, dozens of city-states evolved, each governed by powerful lords, some with populations larger than any city in Europe at the time, and connected by road-like causeways of crushed stone. The Maya developed a cohesive, unified cosmology, an array of common gods, a creation story, and a shared artistic and architectural vision. They created stucco and stone monuments and bas reliefs, sculpting figures and hieroglyphs with refined artistic skill. At their peak, an estimated ten million people occupied the Maya?s heartland on the Yucatan Peninsula, a region where only half a million now live. And yet by the time the Spanish reached the ?New World,? the Maya had all but disappeared; they would remain a mystery for the next three hundred years. Today, the tables are turned: the Maya are justly famous, if sometimes misunderstood, while Stephens and Catherwood have been nearly forgotten. Based on Carlsen?s rigorous research and his own 1,500-mile journey throughout the Yucatan and Central America, Jungle of Stone is equally a thrilling adventure narrative and a revelatory work of history that corrects our understanding of Stephens, Catherwood, and the Maya themselves.…
