Paperback. Etat : Good. Washington Duke is very young when he first realizes there is racial discrimination in the South. Living outside of Hillsboro, North Carolina, in the mid-1820s, he is one of ten children in a family that shares the wilderness with bears, rattlesnakes, and mountain lions. Washington learns about the world around him from his scholarly father, nurtures a compassion for others, and eventually grows into a man deeply troubled by the institution of slavery. Unaware of what awaits him, Washington is conscripted into the Confederate Army and reluctantly leaves his three-hundred-acre farm in 1864 to fight in the war. When the Civil War is over, Washington is left widowed, with nothing but his farm, two blind mules, a wagon load of tobacco, and his four children. Determined to rise from the rubble, Washington soon begins building the foundation for the Duke financial empire-although not without challenges. As Washington ages, his sons eventually capture his dream to establish Duke University. Even with the family's successes, though, there is tragedy and heartache; Washington's granddaughter, Doris, dies under suspicious circumstances in 1993 and her estate becomes embroiled in a legal battle. Based on a true story, this compelling and inspirational tale examines the life of a gentle giant and his descendants who together built a multibillion-dollar empire, numerous charitable foundations, and a renowned academic institution, proving that anyone can overcome adversity to achieve greatness. …

Paperback. Etat : Good. The author of this book assumes you love life and don't like the idea of dying. He suspects, too, that were you to die today, you are not sure you could do so at peace and be able to say, I have lived my best possible life. He also takes for granted you have retained fanciful notions you were taught as a child about living, dying, and death, including nonsense about the grim reaper. This book relentlessly pursues truth and life. In the Introduction, Robinson calls you to update your worldview so it's coherent and to be true to your self in behalf of being your best self and living your best life. In Part One, he introduces ten steps that will help you let go of childhood thinking and connect you with realistic understandings of life. He explains how to integrate three basic models of life, adopt a positive view of life that's also realistic, affirm your personal freedom, identify and choose worthy life purposes, engage life with both passion and good sense, be an authentic world citizen, defeat toxic powers and let positive ones nourish you, live creatively in the present, and open yourself to joy as well as happiness. He caps this section helping you understand what it means to trust and practice perfect love. Part Two is also about living robustly. The author distinguishes between the ongoing process of dying and death as a state of being (or non-being), and quickly rejects denial, morbidity and escapist fantasies as adequate ways to deal with them. He then elaborates on 6 creative approaches to dying and death that are honest, liberating and edifying. Along the way, he explains what to kill the grim reaper means, and how to do it. His penetrating point is that until you get real about living, dying and death, you cannot be your best self or live your best possible life. In the first of the book's two postscripts, the author tells the poignant story of his wife's suddenly discovered illness in July of 2008, and of her dying in October. In the second, he tells what was going on in him the next summer, when a life-threatening illness forces him to face his own possible dying. PRAISE for CREATE YOUR BEST LIFE, KILL THE GRIM REAPER This book should be read by anyone expecting to die some day. Young people live as if it can't happen to them, and a lot of us older folks try not to think about our imminent departure, but the author thinks we should and makes a strong case for doing so. It 's an easy and fun read, and makes more sense than anything I've seen on death and dying. I'm buying copies for all of my children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. It's a good road map for their remaining years as it is for mine. Robert F. Hanson, Professor-Emeritus, San Diego State University Here is a very frank, practical and personal book about living and dying well that will greatly benefit not only professionals but also the general reader. Sherellen Gerhart, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Hospice of the East Bay, Pleasant Hill, CA Robinson's book is magic. It teaches us step by step to transform the fear of dying into a design for creative living. Milton Matz Playwright, Psychologist, Rabbi.

The key is to focus on the children and the practices we know help them to read at each grade level," says Barbara Taylor. These foundational beliefs have been the focus of Barbara Taylor's career and inspired her to create the Early Intervention in Reading (EIR) process. After more than two decades of classroom practice and refinement, Barbara Taylor has translated her EIR process into the Catching Readersseries (Grades K, 1,2,3,and 4-5). Powerful Intervention Strategies for Your Classroom Daily, small-group interventions help struggling kindergarteners read on level by spring. Instruction focuses on word recognition, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension development. The use of trade books and leveled books reinforces and extends guided reading instruction. Live-from-the-classroom video clips show the lessons in action. Practical classroom-tested teaching tools include 100+ pages of reproducibles for teachers and students. Empowering Professional Development for Your School A clear consistent framework fosters schoolwide coherence and continuity. A month-by-month planning guide helps organize teaching across grade levels. The lessons in action video clips are ideal for group analysis. Dynamic Internet and consulting services support professional learning communities. Based on a Scientifically Proven Program The Early Intervention in Reading (EIR) program, developed by Barbara Taylor of the University of Minnesota, provides an in-class alternative to traditional pull-out remedial reading programs. It consists of supplemental instruction provided by the kindergarten classroom teacher rather than by other personnel. The program has been tested in several locales and has proven that teachers can intervene to support struggling readers. Click hereto learn more about the EIR program.

Paperback. Etat : Good. Welcome to the mind of a magician-an honest liar-who can prove you shouldn't believe everything you perceive. We wake up in the morning and look out the window seeing the world as it is. But the beauty about illusions is they prove our perceptions aren't always true. Therefore, how do we know if something is real or not? If we all perceive things differently, then what is the truth? Are we living with the truth? Or are we living with illusions that we think are the truth? How do we know? This book contains not only the secrets of magic, but the tale of a human spirit and the psychological struggle between emotion and imagination. A philosophical outlook at what separates those who perceive the world as it appears, and those who imagine their own reality. Welcome to the greatest illusion ever created, the act more commonly referred to as Life. Let the show begin. …
