نویسندگان: خلاصه: The incredible story of how a schoolteacher built a million-dollar portfolio, and how you can too Most people wouldn't expect a schoolteacher to amass a million-dollar investment account. But Andrew Hallam did so, long before the typical retirement age. And now, with Millionaire Teacher, he wants to show you how to follow in his footsteps.

What Have They Built You to Do?: The Manchurian Candidate and Cold War America - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Considered by many to be the best political thriller ever made, The Manchurian Candidate is as entertaining, troubling, and relevant today as it was in 1962. Starring Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey, and Angela Lansbury, and directed with probing insight by John Frankenheimer, the film was widely acclaimed as a masterpiece. Largely out of circulation for the next two decades, it acquired a well-deserved cult following until it was rereleased during the last year of the Reagan presidency, when its pointed satire of political and media manipulation seemed more timely than ever. In What Have They Built You to Do?—a key line of dialogue from the original film—Matthew Frye Jacobson and Gaspar Gonz?lez undertake an ambitious reexamination of The Manchurian Candidate, the 1959 novel by Richard Condon on which it was based, and—critically analyzed here for the first time—the 2004 remake directed by Jonathan Demme. Based on close readings of the film and broad investigations into the eras in which it was made and rediscovered, the authors decode the many layers of meaning within and surrounding the film, from the contradictions of the Cold War it both embodies and parodies—McCarthyism and Kennedy liberalism, individualism and conformity—to its construction of Asian villains, overbearing women, and male heroes in a society anxious about race, gender, and sexuality. Through their multifaceted analysis of The Manchurian Candidate (in all its incarnations), Jacobson and Gonz?lez raise provocative questions about power and anxiety in American politics and society from the Cold War to today. Matthew Frye Jacobson teaches American studies at Yale University. His books include Roots Too: White Ethnic Revival in Post–Civil Rights America. Gaspar Gonz?lez is an independent scholar and journalist in Miami. He has taught American studies at Yale University and film studies at the University of Miami.

Dog Sense: How the New Science of Dog Behavior Can Make You A Better Friend to Your Pet - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Dogs have been mankind's faithful companions for tens of thousands of years, yet today they are regularly treated as either pack-following wolves or furry humans. The truth is, dogs are neither--and our misunderstanding has put them in serious crisis. What dogs really need is a spokesperson, someone who will assert their specific needs. Renowned anthrozoologist Dr. John Bradshaw has made a career of studying human-animal interactions, and in Dog Sense he uses the latest scientific research to show how humans can live in harmony with--not just dominion over-- their four-legged friends. From explaining why positive reinforcement is a more effective (and less damaging) way to control dogs' behavior than punishment to demonstrating the importance of weighing a dog's unique personality against stereotypes about its breed, Bradshaw offers extraordinary insight into the question of how we really ought to treat our dogs.
If You Teach It, They Will Read: Literature's Life Lessons for Today's Students - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: What does it mean to 'teach' a poem, novel or play? Surely it is about lessons in comprehension and improvements in language facility, but what does literature teach us beyond literacy? Students can read substantive literature for what its authors intended: an insight into the human condition. Students, even those who appear indifferent, struggle with questions of right and wrong, good and evil, love and loss, self-interest and self-sacrifice. Using literature he has used with his students, MacLean insists that asking the right questions, discussing ideas that still matter, will show students that others have wrestled with the same issues, expressing that struggle in timeless stories. For the teacher of literature, the student of literature, the lover of literature, this book is a reminder of why, in the words of Maya Angelou, 'we stumble and fall, and how, miraculously, we can stand up.' What more important lesson is there?
The Fast Food Diet: Lose Weight and Feel Great Even If You're Too Busy to Eat Right - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: America is a fast-food nation, for better and for worse.Consider the typical weekday. The alarm goes offand the family’s bare feet start hitting the floor immediately.Everyone’s probably running a little late because they didn’tget enough sleep. (Americans sleep an average of seven hoursa night, down from nine hours a century ago.) Getting the kidsready for school requires a Herculean effort: brushing teeth,washing faces, and digging under the couch for overduelibrary books. Time for a quick bowl of cereal? Probably not.So you rush out the door with an empty stomach. Maybeyou’ll snatch something on the way—or just do without any-thing to eat until lunch.This frenetic pace doesn’t let up at work. There’s hardlysuch a thing as a lunch “hour” anymore. More likely you’llgrab food at a take-out joint near the office and wolf it downon the way to the bank or some other errand. Then it’s back to1I N T R O D U C T I O NGet Smarter, Get Slimmeron Fast Foodwork until quitting time maybe five, six, or seven hours later.At that point your blood sugar is crashing and the last thing onyour mind is cooking something from scratch. Ravenous andstressed-out from your day, you point the car to KFC orWendy’s or Burger King. You want something fast becauseyou’re practically starving and there’s still the kids’ homeworkto oversee, chores to do, and perhaps a game or your favoriteTV show to catch before crashing into bed.Fast food is so affordable and plentiful that millions ofNorth Americans eat it every single day—or many times aweek. We now eat on average five meals a week outside thehome, in addition to snacking on convenience foods. The aver-age adult consumes three hamburgers and four orders of friesevery week. On any given day, 25 percent of all people inNorth America eat a fast-food meal. It’s just so easy to hop inthe car, zip the whole family through the drive-thru, and havedinner over and done in ten or fifteen minutes. No cooking, nocleanup, no stress—with time left over for errands and maybesome TV, plus change from a twenty-dollar bill
