Paperback. Etat : Good. Bridge is a game of mistakes.The best players make fewer mistakes. It's not a matter of being brilliant The real expert players never make basic mistakes, they keep the ball in the court, in the fairway. Sure there is an occasional hand where they make a brilliant play but that's not what distinguishes the true expert from the good player. One often hears an expert say I've seen this hand before. What does he mean? No, he hasn't seen the hand record;he recognizes the hand type. After all, there are only a finite number of hand types in bridge. For example, second suit hands, cross-ruffs, ruffing in dummy, a simple finesse, an elimination, a dummy reversal and a couple of others. You can't reinvent bridge every time a hand comes down. If you recognize the type, then you have some idea or plan of how to go about trying to make your contract. But one of the biggest mistakes non-expert players make is playing to trick one, then looking around and deciding what to do next. And in many cases, it's already too late. The key to the hand was trick one. But sorry, no mulligans in bridge. So this book will present a series of hands, all as quizzes but of course you have a big clue from the title. Nevertheless, I hope you will find the hands and following discussions interesting enough to help you learn to do your thinking before not after you play that first card. Spe.…

Hardback. Etat : Fair. Since ancient times humans have felt intuitively that emotions and health are linked, and recently there has been much popular speculation about this notion. But until now, without compelling evidence, it has been impossible to say for sure that such a connection really exists and especially how it works. Now, that evidence has been discovered.A thrilling scientific detective story, The Balance Within tells how researchers finally uncovered the elusive mind-body connection and what it means for our health. In this beautifully written book, Dr. Esther Sternberg, whose discoveries were pivotal in helping to solve this mystery, provides first hand accounts of the breakthrough experiments that revealed the physical mechanisms - the nerves, cells, and hormones - used by the brain and immune system to communicate with each other. She describes just how stress can make us more susceptible to all types of illnesses, and how the immune system can alter our moods. Finally, she explains how our understanding of these connections in scientific terms is helping to answer such crucial questions as Does stress make you sick? Is a positive outlook the key to better health? and How do our personal relationships, work, and other aspects of our lives affect our health?A fascinating, elegantly written portrait of this rapidly emerging field with enormous potential for finding new ways to treat disease and cope with stress, The Balance Within is essential reading for anyone interested in making their body and mind whole again.…

Hardback. Etat : Good. I had a bad August. A very bad August. As bad as pickle juice on a cookie. As bad as a spider web on your leg. I hope your August was better. I really do.Like Pickle Juice on a Cookie tells the story of an 8-year-old girl named Eleanor whose beloved babysitter, Bibi, has to move away to take care of her ailing father. Lyrically written in a poetic style reminiscent of Sharon Creech's Love that Dog, the story follows Eleanor as she tries to bear the summer without Bibi and prepares for the upcoming school year ahead. Her new less-than-perfect babysitter just isn't up to snuff and she doesn't take care of things like Bibi used to.But as the new school year looms, it is a time for new beginnings and Eleanor realizes that she's growing up and is going to be just fine. And that she will always have Bibi, no matter how far away she is. Cordell, Matthew (illustrateur).…

Hardback. Etat : Fair. Robert Sternberg believes that intelligence is a "process" and not a built-in trait. This concept he calls "mental self-management". His theory: intelligence is a set of components that is exercised in three ways - internally (one's approach to problem-solving) - experientially (how one deals with new situations, and building on what's already learned - taking into account processes such as intuition, insight and creativity)- and contextually (how one functions in and adapts to different environments, whether the classroom, the boardroom or the squash court). Drawing on extensive research, which has taken him inside the offices of 500 executives, Sternberg explores the components of what he calls "tacit knowledge" - and "ticks of the trade" - what we were not taught in school and that cannot be measured by standardized tests. …
