64 Things You Need to Know in Chess - PDF
نویسندگان: Michele Moore MD خلاصه: Because women want a direct approach when seeking answers to questions about menopause, Dr. Michele Moore has written a book that recognizes the individuality of women as it addresses their concerns in dealing with the changes of menopause.The Only Menopause Guide You'll Need is written for all women who are making decisions about treatment for symptoms of menopause. Dr. Moore invites the reader to assess her individual situation by looking into her own medical history and talking with a trusted health advisor. She helps the reader make informed choices about her treatment, should treatment be chosen, and offers a balanced account of options that range from traditional medical practice to holistic and alternative approaches. Above all, she encourages the reader to accept responsibility for her choices and to deal with the consequences of those choices while remaining proactive throughout the process. She also emphasizes the need for each woman to monitor her health condition closely and to reassess her situation as her health needs change through the years. Dr. Moore incorporates in the book her own experience with perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause, as well as stories of her friends, neighbors, colleagues, and patients. She provides information about symptoms and treatment--including lifestyle changes and herbal and homeopathic remedies in addition to the treatments offered by traditional allopathic medicine. Hers is an empathetic and broad-minded voice that draws readers in at the same time it informs them, so that they can deal with inevitable changes in body, mind, and spirit."As women, we are accustomed to cycles and seasons, but the crossing of the threshold of menopause into autumn brings grief, rage, fear, and great sadness to many women. Have you ever on a luminous autumn day had a shiver of anticipation of winter to come? And felt regret at the passing of the summer flowers and warmth? You might forget at that moment about the different pleasures of winter, and that spring and autumn come again, and that the seeds that are dormant or started in winter burst forth in glory come spring." -- from The Only Menopause Guide You'll Need

Stephen Colbert and Philosophy: I Am Philosophy (and So Can You!) - Original PDF
Stephen Colbert and Philosophy: I Am Philosophy (and So Can You!) - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Aaron Allen Schiller, Editor خلاصه: At the head of The Colbert Report, one of the most popular shows on television, Stephen Colbert is a pop culture phenomenon. More than one million people backed his fake candidacy in the 2008 U.S. presidential election on Facebook, a testament to the particularly rich set of issues and emotions Colbert brings to mind. Stephen Colbert and Philosophy is crammed with thoughtful and amusing chapters, each written by a philosopher and all focused on Colbert's inimitable reality — from his word creations (truthiness, wikiality, freem, and others) to his position as a faux-pundit who openly mocks Fox News and CNN. Although most of the discussion is centered around The Colbert Report, this collection does not neglect either his best-selling book, I Am America (And So Can You!), or his public performances, including his incendiary 2006 White House Press Correspondents' Dinner speech.

Generation WTF: From What the #$%&! to a Wise, Tenacious, and Fearless You: Advice on How to Get There from Experts and WTFers Just Like You - PDF
نویسندگان: Christine B. Whelan خلاصه: We all know what “WTF” usually stands for: it’s an exclamation of frustration and anger, and it’s an understandable reaction to the tough new economic realities that have hit young adults harder than any other group. WTF happened to promises of a bright future? What happened to the jobs? And what do we do now that the rules have changed?Recent college grads were raised in a time of affluence and entitlement, lulled into thinking that a golden future would just happen. With few role models to teach values like thrift, perseverance, and self-control, young adults are ill-equipped to cope with sacrifice and failure, and their dismal employment prospects are merely the most visible symptom of greater challenges.Fortunately, it’s not too late to change course. This optimistic, introspective, and technologically savvy generation already possesses many of the tools they need to thrive—if only they learn to harness the necessary skills for success.In Generation WTF, Christine Whelan does just that. Dr. Whelan, one of the foremost authorities on the history of the self-help genre, worked with more than one hundred young people to test and tweak the very best old-school advice and personalize it for the modern twenty-something. After a decade of researching the industry—and years advising “WTFers” as they struggle to make their way in the “real world”—Dr. Whelan knows firsthand what advice works and what Generation WTF has to offer.Rather than focusing on the frustration that “WTF” usually stands for, Dr. Whelan leads the charge to reclaim the acronym as a battle cry for a positive future: Generation WTF will be a wise, tenacious, and fearless generation, strengthened by purpose and hope. This practical new guide will show these WTFers the way to success and instill lasting habits that will serve them well in both good times and bad.
