“From Sun to Sun” is a slim volume, only 250 pages, but feels larger, as if it expands to fill an enormous intellectual and emotional space.
Author Nina McKissock has been a nurse for 39 years and involved with hospice care for 15 years. She has been “around the block,” as it were, and, as such, a reader opens “Sun,” with some trepidation and more than a couple of questions.
The 24-chapter book is about death and dying, the most persistent and profound puzzlement faced by human beings. Apart from Elisabeth Kubler-Ross and her 1969 “On Death and Dying” (and its 1975 sequel “Death: The Final Stage of Growth”), the subject has never formed an overwhelmingly popular genre, although the literature has been largely thoughtful and compelling. The problem, in a word, is that the subject is scary.
The nascent reader – especially if unfamiliar with hospice care – will wonder if this will be gruesome or frightening or, conversely, awe-inspiring and revelatory. What, goes the apprehension, has McKissock seen? What insights will she offer into this greatest mystery?
First: full disclosure. I am part of this book, although not by name — and for one small paragraph only. McKissock refers to her care for my dying father toward the end of chapter seven’s “Clarentine.” The nurse helped my brother and me, in 2006, confront a resistant stepmother as our father was dying of leukemia in his home.
McKissock smoothed my father’s path, dealing with his deepest personal issues: religious belief, love, family, the future of those he left behind and, most certainly, the hope, faith and fear he faced.
The disclosure is important for two reasons: McKissock beautifully eased the transition for our entire family, lending gentility, humor, honesty and grace to the process.

This book is great for kids’ play-dates or as an in-classroom activity for kindergarteners. The format and clarity of instructions makes it easy for kids to work with this book on their own. The characters are cute and cover most of the well known superheros. And the geometric shapes makes it easy for 5-8 year olds to draw them, both on paper and on the computer / ipad using sketchbook or other similar software.

My kids love this book and I would highly recommend it for anyone with kids who love superheros.

I have a 6 year old son who loves two things right now Superheroes and Drawing. This book is perfect for his age level! He loves it. The book breaks it down into simple shapes and steps for the child. We also bought the How to Draw Comic Book Super Villains and How to Draw More Comic Book Super Heroes from Steve Hiker, and I know I don’t know everything about comics, but I am pretty sure these books cover how to draw almost all the characters he talks about. I definitely would recommend them.

My 9 year old son totally LOVED this book. He really enjoyed making the drawings. He liked it so much, he carried this book around. Most superhero drawing books are way too complex for his skill level. This was attainable and fun. I highly recommend this. I hope Steve Hilker will continue to make more drawing books like this…maybe Minecraft!

The Psychology of Overeating Epub Free


The Psychology of Overeating: Food and the Culture of Consumerism
Author: Kima Cargill ID: 1472581083

Review

Psychologist Kima Cargill takes a tough, critical look at today’s consumerist culture from the perspective of research as well as of observations drawn from her clinical experience with patients struggling with weight issues. To stop overeating in today’s food environment means finding effective ways to counter the many moral, political, economic, and social imperatives to consume. The ideas in this book should inspire readers to think of obesity in an entirely different way–more as the result of a consumerist society than of individual weakness. — Marion Nestle, New York University

Kima Cargill’s work is at the forefront of the intersection of clinical psychology and food studies, bringing to the field the insights of hands on practice and the objective humanistic analysis current among food scholars. She is among the very few academics who understands modern eating disorders within the broader perspective of food culture. This book promises to bridge what is an enormous gulf between theory and practice and will prove to be essential reading for working psychologists and students of food in America. She writes with panache and verve in a way that will be accessible to general readers and professionals alike. (University of the Pacific, USA Ken Albala)

An important contribution to food studies scholarship, as no other work covers quite the same territory. Cargill’s discussion connecting consumerism in its broadest sense to food consumption is a unique, impressive contribution to contemporary discussions of food and health in the United States. — Amy Bentley, New York University

Book Description

A lively interdisciplinary text which brings together perspectives from clinical psychology and food studies to examine overeating as a contemporary cultural problem.

Hardcover: 216 pagesPublisher: Bloomsbury Academic (October 22, 2015)Language: EnglishISBN-10: 1472581083ISBN-13: 978-1472581082 Product Dimensions: 6.7 x 0.7 x 9.8 inches Shipping Weight: 1.6 pounds (View shipping rates and policies)

I read this book because I saw that Marion Nestle reviewed it. It’s a great book that looks at American consumerism, not just overeating, but overspending as well. It’s very critical of the food industry and shows many of the ways they trick people into eating more. This is not a diet book or a self-help book. It’s a serious read, but well worth the effort. It actually helped me to understand why overeating is not really about willpower but about bigger social problems. The author makes it very relatable with interesting stories and examples.

Not For Parents New York City


Not For Parents New York City: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know (Lonely Planet Not for Parents) Paperback – October 1, 2011
Author: Lonely Planet ID: 1742208150

Age Range: 8 – 12 yearsSeries: Lonely Planet Not for ParentsPaperback: 96 pagesPublisher: Lonely Planet; 1 edition (October 1, 2011)Language: EnglishISBN-10: 1742208150ISBN-13: 978-1742208152 Product Dimensions: 6.5 x 0.4 x 8.3 inches Shipping Weight: 2.4 ounces (View shipping rates and policies) Best Sellers Rank: #138,776 in Books (See Top 100 in Books) #86 in Books > Children’s Books > Geography & Cultures > Travel #330 in Books > Children’s Books > Geography & Cultures > Explore the World > United States #785 in Books > Children’s Books > Geography & Cultures > Multicultural Stories
This is a book of its time, as one would expect from the Lonely Planet people. It is colorful, geared toward (some) kids, and to some extent sacrifices content for presentation. Each subject gets a two-page spread filled with bright colors, lots of pictures (both photographs and animations), and pun-titled short blurbs. Topics include: the nickname "The Big Apple", ethnic foods, Central Park, Sesame Street, sports, Chinatown, Broadway, Coney Island, the Guggenheim, MoMA, the Brooklyn Bridge, subways, skyscrapers, inventions, Wall Street, 9/11, taxis, music, Warhol, Grand Central Station, etc. There are a total of 44 subjects as well as an index.

I applaud the effort, and I learned a couple of fun facts myself — an elephant-shaped hotel?! — but it’s difficult to know to whom this will appeal. There isn’t a lot of information given, just snippets and factoids, and no maps; there’s not much in the way of organization — topics are in random order (so the index will be useful); if you’re truly visiting the city, there’s not enough useful information, and if you’re interested in the history, there’s not nearly enough either, 4-6 blurbs in each spread, typically 1-3 sentences long. My twelve-year old nephew flipped through it and scanned a few things, but wasn’t particularly interested or impressed. And maybe I’m getting old and crotchet-y too, but I’m frankly tired of the "not-for-parents" selling point, which is reiterated in the introduction, stating it’s "definitely not for parents" and will show you a New York that "your parents probably don’t even know about". Really? Tiresome attitude considering it’s most likely the parents (or at least adults) who will buy the book and pay for the trip to New York.
I grew up within sight of the NYC skyline. I could see the tops of the tallest buildings in the City from my attic window and if I rode my bike a few blocks, I would be on the top of the Palisades, looking at the Hudson and beyond. To coin a phrase, I love New York! My mother used to work in NYC and since we didn’t have a car growing up, going shopping meant taking the "Orange and Black" bus to Port Authority and walking everywhere (my mother didn’t believe in spending 15 cents EACH for the subway). So, as I walked, I watched and learned. By the time I was in high school, I would take dates to NYC (yup, I even took a girl to see Sammy Davis in Golden Boy) So I was not only comfortable with NYC, I grew to really enjoy all that it had to offer. Music, art, street theatre and shopping. What a great place! And any book that hopes to educate a kid in the ways of the City – without talking down to him or her or speaking over the kid’s head is OK in my world.

My measure of usefulness for guide books is did I learn something I didn’t know. Once in a great while, I come across a gem and the book gets a thumbs up. For this book – one aimed at a younger and perhaps less experienced explorer – I backed off a bit on that requirement. Also, I backed off because they specifically said it wasn’t really a guide book. Rather, it was a book designed to tell the reader about NYC by relating fascinating stories about the culture, people, art and history.

I think authors nailed it pretty well – hitting a lot of the high points from interesting background on the skyscrapers, to the art scene (without getting too deep), throwing in the Zoos, Central Park’s amazing history and my favorite, FOOD!

Utah Atlas & Gazetteer


Utah Atlas & Gazetteer (6th Edition) Paperback
Author: DeLorme ID: 0899332552

About the Author

DeLorme has been directly responsible for many of the major technological advances made in the mapping industry over the past 30 years.

Series: Utah Atlas & GazetteerPaperback: 64 pagesPublisher: DeLorme Publishing Language: EnglishISBN-10: 0899332552ISBN-13: 978-0899332550 Product Dimensions: 0.2 x 11 x 15.5 inches Shipping Weight: 1 pounds (View shipping rates and policies) Best Sellers Rank: #35,351 in Books (See Top 100 in Books) #16 in Books > Travel > United States > West > Mountain #23 in Books > Reference > Atlases & Maps > Atlases & Gazetteers #46 in Books > Reference > Atlases & Maps > United States

I have been a huge fan of DeLorme State Atlas and Gazetteer books for 20+ years. I will never plan a trip without one. I find them absolutely indispensable and have them with me on any car trip, period. I do however have a preference for the older style of mapping used on the earlier editions. I used to own an old Utah Atlas and Gazetteer and much preferred it to the new one. The enhanced topo information and colorations are neat but the actual road mappings have a new style that are annoying to me. It is much harder with longer dashed lines for unimproved roads to determine whether the road intersects another one. Anyone who does backroading in Utah knows that when a road is near another on the map does not mean they intersect. One road could be 1000 feet below another and both will dead-end. It is not fun to plan a trip not being sure whether your road goes through. Although I still like the maps, I feel the need to have another topo source for backroads. I wish DeLorme would update their Atlas and Gazeteers in the old format rather than the ‘slick’ newer style.

I recently went to buy several new Delorme Atlases (for a few different states) because my old ones are getting a bit long in the tooth. Well, I left the store without them. I’m glad I didn’t order them here because they would have been sent right back. The newest versions are simply zoomed-in highway/road maps. I can get the same info at the gas station for a dollar and have 70 less pages of nothing to carry around. There are no elevation contours, half the details are gone, and the format is generally ‘dumbed down.’ These maps used to show all sorts of interesting things for those who ventured off the main roads. The new ones show major roads, pretty colors, and generally which Interstate takes you to the national forests. If you’re cruising the Interstates and are looking for the triple latte of highway maps, you’re set. Otherwise… worthless.

Sorry, but Delorme REALLY blew it. They need to rehire the cartographers and fire the graphic artists.

I have several of these of Arizona, Utah and New Mexico. Duplicates of each… one in the house for planning and study, one in the truck. Occasionally I rotate them so they don’t wear out too quickly. I gave Delorme top billing in my Desert Emergency Survival Basics book, but you don’t need a desert and you don’t need an emergency to need a delorme atlas. Any rural area in the United States is probably covered by them.
If you spend a lot of time in the back country these maps are the best alternative, from my point of view. It’s true the maps don’t have labels on the back country cow trails another reviewer complained of. The fact is, neither do the roads. But it’s often helpful when you come to the fork in a dirt two-track and they both wander off a few degrees off North, to be able to crack open the Delorme and discover the one on the left plays out just over that hill over there at a windmill. There’s no excuse for needing labels these days. A compass and Delorme will allow you to locate yourself in most instances.
However, even the back woods purist ought to own a GPS. I’ve been wandering around the back woods longer than most readers of this have been alive. I rarely get lost, but I frequently don’t know exactly where I am. Occasionally my old TrailBlazer saved me a lot of walking to get back to the truck. Once it saved my life in a snowstorm, I imagine.
For motor traveling you’ll cover too much ground to allow the 7.5 minute maps to help much. You pass from one map to the next too quickly. When you are afoot a couple of them become useful. Meanwhile, I use Delorme as one of the ways to keep track of my wanderings. I recommend them wherever you are. And a GPS, as well.

Into Thin Air Audible – Abridged


Into Thin Air Audible – Abridged dged
Author: Jon Krakauer ID: B0000544YH

Into Thin Air is the definitive, personal account of the deadliest season in the history of Everest by the acclaimed journalist and author of Eiger Dreams and Into the Wild. On assignment for Outside magazine, Krakauer, an accomplished climber, went to the Himalayas to report on the growing commercialization of the planet’s highest mountain. Everest has always been a dangerous mountain. From the first British expeditions in the 1920s until 1996, one climber has died for ever 4 who have attained the summit. This shocking death toll has not put a damper on the burgeoning business of guided ascents, however, in which amateur alpinists with alarmingly disparate skills are ushered up the mountain for a $65,000 fee. To ascend into the thin, frigid air above 26,000 feet – the cruising altitude of a commercial jetliner – is an inherently irrational act. The environment is unimaginably harsh, the margin for error miniscule. Krakauer examines what it is about Everest that has compelled so many people – including himself – to throw caution to the wind, ignore the concern of loved ones, and willingly subject themselves to such risk, hardship, and expense. Written with emotional clarity and supported by his unimpeachable reporting, Krakauer’s frank eyewitness account of what happened on the roof of the world is a singular achievement.

By and large, the negative reviews posted here have little to do with the quality of this book and almost everything to do with the presumed character of the writer, Jon Krakauer. Similarly, those who dislike Krakauer’s Into the Wild tend to focus their judgment of the book’s worth on their own feelings regarding the essay’s subject, Christopher McCandless, the young man who traveled the Western United States and Mexico for two years before perishing in Alaska. I read Krakauer differently. I am not interested in Krakauer’s liberal politics, his emotional instability, and variable maturity. I am not interested in whether he portrays the absolute truth in his account of the 1996 Mt. Everest disaster for the simple fact that I don’t believe the truth can be told. Writing is a very poor substitute for a frostbitten finger or a hypoxic head. All we have is Krakauer’s writing, so let’s look at what he does as a writer.

Krakauer is a sensationalist journalist, and since he reports on dangerous and near-death experiences regularly, he really can’t help being grandiose and spectacular. The subject of his writing demands that he ratchet up the emotional power of his style and word choice. And let’s be honest–don’t we, as readers, demand it of him as well? Don’t we want a voyeuristic and graphic account, where the size, the shape, and the smell of death seem to lift from the pages? Who wants to read about a mountain climbing disaster sans the emotion and the ego it takes to put one’s self unnecessarily into such perilous situations?
Having never understood why people climb mountains, and after seeing Beck Weathers on
television last year, I bought INTO THIN AIR in order to gain more insight. Krakauer delivered.

Have some time on your hands, because once you begin reading Jon’s story depicting the turn of
events throughout his journey on Everest in the Spring of ’96, you won’t be able to stop reading until you’ve read the last word in his book. This account of summitting Everest is a page turner even though the outcome is old news. It will leave you wanting to know more about other attempts made
on Everest, both failed and successful.

For those who don’t understand why on earth anyone would want to do something as dangerous as
climbing "Into Thin Air" on rock and ice … this book answers that curiosity. Because Jon introduces his readers to the backgrounds and personalities of the main characters in his book, we can better comprehend the different reasons people spend thousands of dollars and two or more months of their lives in "hell" on a mountain – freezing and injured – ‘just to get to the top’. We learn through Krakauer why they continue their ascent even though the conditions are pure torture and more life threatening with each step; why they don’t give it up once they’ve lost feeling in their extremities, separated their ribs, lost their vision, can no longer breathe due to oxygen depleted air, why they don’t turn back even when they see the dead who’ve attempted to reach the summit on prior expeditions. You’ll understand because of Krakauer’s talent as a writer … his ability to replay his emotions, his thoughts, his experiences, and his opinions through writing.

I usually love the Dummies guides, and this one in particular is already on the top of my list. First of all, I will say this book comes in a different size than the regular collection. It is 5.4 x 8.5 inches. I actually like this choice because this book is meant to be a college companion, so with this smaller size, the book can be easier taken with you.
As I just said, I believe this book should be an essential college companion, en even it should be for high schoolers. As such, the book explores all about critical thinking in 5 parts. Part I explores the world of critical thinking. Part II develops your critical thinking skills. Part III is all about applying those skills previously learned. In Part IV, reason and argument are explored deeper. Finally, in part V, the authors present logical pitfalls and how to avoid them, as well as ten arguments that changed the world.
All in all, this is an essential companion for college students and high school students alike. Adults who may be in need of reviewing fundamentals of critical thinking will find this guide extremely helpful as well.
I am recommending this without hesitation. 5 star!

Critical thinking is a skill largely abandoned in high schools and colleges. The evidence that Americans are missing these skills confronts you every day. Just read the drivel on any social media site or the comments on websites such as those owned by The New York Times, Washington Post and other high-profile media outlets. Largely moronic one-liners attempting to sum up complex political situations, endless juvenile name-calling and simplistic reasoning that entirely ignores known facts.

Author Martin Cohen first defines critical thinking and that sets about to explain each part of the thought package that comprises the art and science of critical thinking.

There are rules for arguing a point – and rules for parsing an opponent’s argument.

Cohen explains that critical thinking is largely concerned with avoiding logical fallacies and following the rules of “good essay structure”. Cohen writes in a straightforward way and he breaks easch concept of critical thinking down into manageable parts. I like his style.

In just sort of 300 pages, Cohen explains everything you need to know about how to think critically about any subject. This really is an excellent text if you never had a course in high school or college or just want a refresher. By the end of the book, I was wishing a lot more people would be reading it.

Jerry

The "…for Dummies" books have a reputation for being shallow introductions to sometimes complicated subjects, and there are Dummies books that are exactly that. Not this one.

This is a very well organized, well written guide to the essential skills involved in critical thinking and to the pitfalls that need to be avoided when engaged in it. It’s probably intended for college students and adults, but I think high school kids could handle it, too.

The author, is a British academic philosopher who has written two well-known introductory texts, "101 Philosophy Problems" and "101 Ethical Dilemmas." In this book, he illustrates critical thinking skills in part by the way he organizes it. He offers a definition of critical thinking and then explains each component of his definition. The end result is a well structured argument that explains the "rules" for arguing one’s own point and for refuting the arguments of others.

Philosophy books have a well deserved reputation for being dense. One often has the feeling of swimming in oatmeal; it takes tremendous effort, but it doesn’t seem to produce any noticeable progress. This book isn’t like that at all. It’s not light, but it’s very clear and readable. As is the case with all of the "…for Dummies" books, the material is presented in short, easy to digest bites. But nothing is dumbed down.

I recommend the book most highly. I just wish more people– especially those posting political and religious rants online– would read it…
