Book excerpt: It's Sapiens for teenagers.' The Times LIFE IS WEIRD. Nothing gives you a sense of perspective like finding out just how weird. I'm an extremely curious chap and with this book I wanted to share the content of my noggin, because I think these are the 147 things that have helped me through this thing we call life. Sometimes because it shows how lucky we are to be here at all, but often because I’m a moron and learned whatever lesson it taught me the hard way, and I’d like to save you the pain of making the same mistakes (I refer here to the waxing of my pubic hair). Ever wondered if first times are over-rated (hint: they are), whether you’ll ever find the one (hint: there are 7 billion of us) or pondered the sheer unlikelihood of the you who is you being in the world right now? If so, then YouTube superstar and fact-obsessed, over-sharer Jim Chapman is here to explain it all – whether it’s why your heart actually aches after a break-up, what’s happening when you get hangry, or why people are just so plain RUDE online. Along the way, we’ll find out how much fun he has when Tanya’s sleep-talking and why he looked like a gangly T-rex with wonky teeth when he was a teenager. As with his videos, no subject is off-limits, as Jim lifts the lid on his life and his relationships, sharing embarrassing stories and things he’s learnt along the way (trust us, the thing about kangaroos will really freak you out).

This book was released on 2014-05-21 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover How Becoming A Game Tester Can Turn Your Life Around! Learn How You Can Earn up to $120 An Hour Or More… By Playing Video Games! Dear Game Lover, Are you sick and tired of running around in circles... are you frustrated because you haven’t found the right answers to online success for yourself? If you are suffering any of these situations then I have to tell you something very *important*... Being able to make money online isn’t as hard as it may seem.Hey I’m not kidding… There was a time when I too was frustrated… I used to work for long hours just to make ends meet. I hated the idea of getting up early only to get stuck in traffic, bosses ordering me what to do, and wasting my whole day in the office. Then I step into online business and tried all kinds of those ‘so called’ moneymaking systems, but they just never seemed to work. People were making money by getting me to do what they do. I invested my hard-earned money and in return I didn't even get the resources to get me off the ground. Everything turned to be scam… Finally, after countless hours and thousands of dollars of research I discovered a very easy and fail proof method to reach financial freedom. I do make money every single day…in fact every hour. No kidding! I have discovered such an easy method that allows me to have all that I wished for in my long hour jobs but never actually got any. Now I’m here To Share My Path to Success and Information with You!Before I reveal my fool-proof, super-easy money making method, let me ask you a question: Would you like to make a decent hourly rate just to play and test video games? Isn’t its great? If you are on this page it clearly shows you have a passion for video games. And I strongly believe that if passion turns into profession the resultant is *unlimited income*. So, I advice you to: Turn Your Passion into Your Profession You know… over 200 game companies are willing to pay you just to test their games. These companies want you to be a game tester and give them your advice on their developed games and in return they will pay you handsome sum of money. I’m a living example of it. It would be right if I say this is an era of Internet and Video Games. Today the game industry is over a $60 billion business. The companies that release their produced games with bugs in them will cause them a loss of millions of dollars. And no good company will ever want that. So, they think it a good idea to pay hundreds of dollars to gamers just to point out the glitches in their games. So they can release bug-free games and customers will not return their games. Okay… imagine this. You are a gamer and you buy a new video game that crashes every time your character shoots the enemy. It is obvious that you will not like the game and will never recommend it to anyone else. This will be a serious setback for the game company which had invested millions of dollars in the development of the game. And when no one buy their games due to the bad word-of-mouth advertising... the result is obvious: they will lose millions! “Then… What Are There Programmers For?” Well, programmers are not gamers. So they cannot find the bugs that a video-game tester will. If a company is paying you $50 an hour just to test video games for them that would otherwise ruin the game experience and quite possibly hurt their sales. Then what’s wrong in it? Isn't it a good deal? 5 Good Reasons Why Playing Video Games Is An Extremely Easy Way To Earn Money! 1. No Pre-Requisite No formal education is required to be a video game tester. 2. Top Paid Game Testers earn up $120 Per Hour Starting out You can earn $10 - $120 an hour being a video game tester. 3. Get the Games for FREE You keep the games you test without paying a dime. 4. video game system -You only need one video game system to become a video game tester. 5. Work on Your Will-You can choose your work hours.

This book was released on 2012-03-26 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Impey combines the vision of a practicing scientist with the voice of a gifted storyteller.”—Dava Sobel In this vibrant, eye-opening tour of milestones in the history of our universe, Chris Impey guides us through space and time, leading us from the familiar sights of the night sky to the dazzlingly strange aftermath of the Big Bang. What if we could look into space and see not only our place in the universe but also how we came to be here? As it happens, we can. Because it takes time for light to travel, we see more and more distant regions of the universe as they were in the successively greater past. Impey uses this concept—"look-back time"—to take us on an intergalactic tour that is simultaneously out in space and back in time. Performing a type of cosmic archaeology, Impey brilliantly describes the astronomical clues that scientists have used to solve fascinating mysteries about the origins and development of our universe. The milestones on this journey range from the nearby to the remote: we travel from the Moon, Jupiter, and the black hole at the heart of our galaxy all the way to the first star, the first ray of light, and even the strange, roiling conditions of the infant universe, an intense and volatile environment in which matter was created from pure energy. Impey gives us breathtaking visual descriptions and also explains what each landmark can reveal about the universe and its history. His lucid, wonderfully engaging scientific discussions bring us to the brink of modern cosmology and physics, illuminating such mind-bending concepts as invisible dimensions, timelessness, and multiple universes. A dynamic and unforgettable portrait of the cosmos, How It Began will reward its readers with a deeper understanding of the universe we inhabit as well as a renewed sense of wonder at its beauty and mystery.

Book excerpt: “I haven't read anything that has moved me this much since Wonder.” —Jennifer Niven, author of All the Bright Places A space-obsessed boy and his dog, Carl Sagan, take a journey toward family, love, hope, and awe in this funny and moving novel for fans of Counting by 7s, Walk Two Moons, and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. 11-year-old Alex Petroski loves space and rockets, his mom, his brother, and his dog Carl Sagan—named for his hero, the real-life astronomer. All he wants is to launch his golden iPod into space the way Carl Sagan (the man, not the dog) launched his Golden Record on the Voyager spacecraft in 1977. From Colorado to New Mexico, Las Vegas to L.A., Alex records a journey on his iPod to show other lifeforms what life on earth, his earth, is like. But his destination keeps changing. And the funny, lost, remarkable people he meets along the way can only partially prepare him for the secrets he’ll uncover—from the truth about his long-dead dad to the fact that, for a kid with a troubled mom and a mostly not-around brother, he has way more family than he ever knew. Jack Cheng’s debut is full of joy, optimism, determination, and unbelievable heart. To read the first page is to fall in love with Alex and his view of our big, beautiful, complicated world. To read the last is to know he and his story will stay with you a long, long time.
