Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifth grader Travis is constantly bullied by his twin cousins, Howie and Homer Hall. When their parents separate and move out of their current school district, Traviss parents invite the boys to stay with them until the end of the school year. As the months pass, Travis anger and frustration grows. He is not only constantly on the defensive with his cousins, but eventually he feels that they have taken his place in his own family. Throughout the five months Travis is given lots of advice by his irascible grandfather, erudite college professor dad and suspicious mom. Despite Howies constant griping, there are events in which the three boys participate. At the school Talent Night theyre in a skit: Whos On First? with a live parrot, they help build a double-decker tree house, and they go to the coast for Spring Break. For Traviss birthday, Grandpa takes him to a Spurs game, where Traviss hero, Tim Duncan, at Grandpas request, wishes Travis a happy birthday, fist-bumping him and the most awesome thinggives him an autographed basketball. Travis swears he will keep it forever. When a horrible incident occurs, it tests the courage and character of each boy. This story takes place when Tim Duncan still played for the San Antonio Spurs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worst. President. Ever. flips the great presidential biography on its head, offering an enlightening—and highly entertaining!—account of poor James Buchanan’s presidency to prove once and for all that, well, few leaders could have done worse. But author Robert Strauss does much more, leading readers out of Buchanan’s terrible term in office—meddling in the Dred Scott Supreme Court decision, exacerbating the Panic of 1857, helping foment the John Brown uprisings and “Bloody Kansas,” virtually inviting a half-dozen states to secede from the Union as a lame duck, and on and on—to explore with insight and humor his own obsession with presidents, and ultimately the entire notion of ranking our presidents. He guides us through the POTUS rating game of historians and others who have made their own Mount Rushmores—or Marianas Trenches!—of presidential achievement, showing why Buchanan easily loses to any of the others, but also offering insights into presidential history buffs like himself, the forgotten "lesser" presidential sites, sex and the presidency, the presidency itself, and how and why it can often take the best measures out of even the most dedicated men.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For those who care for chronically ill children, a new understanding of hope that equips adults to better nurture pediatric hope among sick kids—articulated by the children themselves As anyone with a chronic illness knows, hope can sometimes be hard to come by. For parents and caregivers of children with serious illness, there can be a real struggle to move beyond one's own grief, fear, and suffering to see what hope means for these kids. Duane Bidwell, a scholar, minister, and former hospital chaplain who has struggled with serious illness himself, spent time with 48 chronically ill children in dialysis units and transplant clinics around the United States. Chronically ill kids, he found, don’t adhere to popular or scholarly understandings of hope. They experience hope as a sense of well-being in the present, not a promise of future improvement, an ability to set goals, or the absence of illness and suffering. With this mindset, these kids suggest a new understanding of pediatric hope, saying hope becomes concrete when they (1) realize community, (2) claim power, (3) attend to Spirit, (4) choose trust, and (5) maintain identity. Offering textured portraits of children with end-stage kidney disease, After the Worst Day Ever illustrates in their words how sick children experience, maintain, and turn toward hope even when illness cannot be cured and severely limits quality of life. Their insights reveal how the adults in a sick child's world—parents, chaplains, medical professionals, teachers, and others—can nurture hope. They also shift our understanding of hope from an internal resource located “inside” an individual to a shared, communal experience that becomes a resource for individuals. Rich and moving, Bidwell’s work helps us imagine anew what it means to sustain hope despite inescapable suffering and the limits of chronic illness.

This book was released on 2014-09-02 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To the amusement of the pundits and the regret of the electorate, our modern political jargon has become even more brazenly two-faced and obfuscatory than ever. Where once we had Muckrakers, now we have Bed-Wetters. Where Blue Dogs once slept peaceably in the sun, Attack Dogs now roam the land. During election season--a near constant these days--the coded rhetoric of candidates and their spin doctors, and the deliberately meaningless but toxic semiotics of the wing nuts and backbenchers, reach near-Orwellian levels of self-satisfaction, vitriol, and deceit. The average NPR or talk radio listener, MSNBC or Fox News viewer, or blameless New York Times or Wall Street Journal reader is likely to be perplexed, nonplussed, and lulled into a state of apathetic resignation and civic somnolence by the rapid-fire incomprehensibility of political pronouncement and commentary--which is, frankly, putting us exactly where the pundits want us. Dog Whistles, Walk-Backs, and Washington Handshakes is a tonic and a corrective. It is a reference and field guide to the language of politics by two veteran observers that not only defines terms and phrases but also explains their history and etymology, describes who uses them against whom, and why, and reveals the most telling, infamous, amusing, and shocking examples of their recent use. It is a handbook of lexicography for the Wonkette and This Town generation, a sleeker, more modern Safire's Political Dictionary, and a concise, pointed, bipartisan guide to the lies, obfuscations, and helical constructions of modern American political language, as practiced by real-life versions of the characters on House of Cards.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reason you couldn't lose weight until now was that the present value of your long term health is lower than the effort required to lose weight. In simple words: it's just too hard. There is no silver bullet that will reduce the effort. You know what you need to do to lose weight. The problem is that you lack motivation. The author of this book is not an expert on nutrition or physical training, but he is a researcher of motivation. He shows how to add external motivation enough to expend the effort required for losing weight, and how to turn that effort into habit such that you can sustain it for the rest of your life, eliminating the need for the external motivation. The book is built upon numerous models and research in health, psychology, and economics, and told through the author's personal journey, through the stories of Alex, Valerie, Matthew, Don, Beth, and Joe, and through a survey of 222 participants.

My Worst Thanksgiving Ever is the story of Dr. Mangold's tragic Thanksgiving in Managua searching for his son Ben who was abducted by the U.S. embassy. Mangold endured multiple muggings during his search and was eventually imprisoned in an Immigration detention center while the embassy flew in his wife to pick up Ben. Desperately Seeking Cereal is the sequel to ""Thanksgiving."" Alone, broke, and abandoned by family and friends, this true story relates how Michael Mangold MD survived being homeless in Nicaragua by using his wits and at times doing the ""unthinkable."

Book excerpt: Upon his father's death in 1973, JAM became the man of the house at age twelve. And in this memoir, JAM narrates a life story that is at times both difficult and extremely heart-wrenching as he witnesses the aftermath of the atrocities of physical abuse, rape, and other tragedies including a volatile personal life. In the Worst Interest tells of the author's dedication to responding for calls of help. At age fifteen he became a youth member of the local volunteer fire department in metropolitan Minnesota where he responded to more than 500 calls, became an emergency medical technician, and then a probationary firefighter. The memoir tells of his thirty years of service as an Army and National Guard medic serving a tour in Kosovo and two tours in Iraq. JAM also tells of the painful trials of his life from living with a woman diagnosed with schizophrenia and a painful divorce that divided his family, to his battle with county social services and the loss of custody and a relationship with his two daughters. In the Worst Interest narrates the story of one man's journey and his prayers for his children to let him come home.
