The Year I Met You Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Cecelia Ahern

It's a great book (or series) when you find yourself disappointed it's ended but satisfied with the conclusion. A lot of twists and turns in this one as Katniss, the ultimate spontaneous rebel, becomes a figurehead of an orchestrated revolution. She has to endure photo shoots, certain rigidity of behavior, and other trappings of a dubious celebrityhood when she would much rather fall to pieces (Which she does anyways, and often). In a way this is the saddest of the three books as everyone has something to lose in the revolution against the Capital, and a lot of them lose the reasons they are fighting for freedom in the first place... I think this series is an excellent way to a parent to discuss with their children the concept of slavery, and it's multiple manifestations, and how it hurts people, even those who accept it with open arms. I'm happy to find that Collins will be penning the script for the movie, so it might be a more consistent expression of the book than it would be otherwise. A great way to bring an excellent story to a wider audience.

Cẩm Nang Con Trai - Con Trai Với Mẹ Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Hiếu Minh

** spoiler alert ** Wow, I loved this book. I loved the way Norman started the first chapter with the crash, and then the second chapter was an event that led up to the crash. And, it continued every other chapter being at the crash. To tell you the truth, I was more interested in the chapters that led up to the crash :). I was excited to see what Nick was going to do next to Norman. LOL. What I didn't realize till a few chapters in the novel was that the chapters that weren't about the crash, did have significance. It took me the longest time to figure out how they tied in with the crash chapters. I didn't realize that Norman was so young at the time of the crash. All in all, I loved this book :)

Pony Ký Sự - Tập 1: Mẹ Cứng Đầu Vì Mẹ Yêu Con Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Mẹ Pony

I really like Kat, always have, and was excited to read her story. Sin (there really is a history of awkward names in this series) was a sexy, tortured, strong man - just the way I like them. Considering the last two books of this series, I was nervous about reading this book, and there was no need to be. We met a new eeeevil villain, Kessar, and I feel like Kenyon does a great job of dangling little nuggets of Ash/Artemis in each book. This was a great read - fast paced and action/passion filled.

Anh Hùng Ca - Tập 1 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Lại Nhĩ

A very short and easy read. I found the first section on the history of the mass too short. The section which does a side by side comparison of the former maass prayers to those of the new translation should prove useful.

Tâm Lý Học Hài Hước Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Richard Wiseman

Dailyn Alvarez February 24, 2011 Book Review 2 For our Exploratory project we decide on reading The Running Scissors is a memoir written by the author Agusten Burroughts where in this case the author is the main character and he tells his childhood life throughout the story. The overview of his life as a child demonstrated me that he was put through a lot as he grew up he first lived with his mother who was obsessed with attention and a smoker and his father who an alcoholic professor. In which proves to me that Addiction deprives people of their social life and it affects people around them. His parents would constantly fight which led them to separation. Due to that, Augusten was moved to live with the Flench Family which brought a bizarre within in his life. In which I gain an understanding of how the title was relevant to the plot. As we heard the author speak as the main character in the story, gave it a much deeper meaning by being in his own perspective which was a better exploration for us within our topic. Throughout the course of reading this book we were able too well organized our argument that we wanted to make after having an understanding of how’s the life of those who are being affected by people that are deprive from their social life due to addictions. Based on his life we were able to se all this different aspects that were relevant to why he was going through all this and how he was being affected, by all the problems that were caused for him at such a young age. I liked this book because it gave us a well introduction that led us to our guiding question. Since in his case the parents were the example of how they deprived out of their social life by not giving much attention to their son putting him to the side. The sun having to deal with these addicted parents that love him but didn’t know how they were affecting him. After completing this book we got a better understanding of how addictions interacts into people and how they all have different tempters as they consume their needs or either develop their addiction. That’s how they entered the step of addiction, and due to that is how addiction leads them to deprive from their social life. As well as the people that are affected by addicts have different perspectives. This is why in this case of the book a big K-ause was dived into their home due to addictions because they brought many problems by both of the parents constantly fighting and afterwards separating. Which Agustn the one being affected by two addicts had to adjust to a new living that led him to new experiences at such a young age in which affect him throughout the years of his life, but overcame them by being tough and proved to us how his story was a perfect example towards our guiding question.

Lược Sử Đời Sống Sinh Hoạt Của Loài Người - Mất 20.000 Năm Để Xây Dựng Đường Sá Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Guo Ke

This book was tons of fun, and a little different twist on a genre I enjoy. The protagonist falls for a sexy, smokin' hot demon (more like a dark angel, if you ask me...) and they are badasses together. Not too sure how she gets herself into some of the stuff she does, but it's fun to see her come out of things ok. Reminded me a lot of the early Anita Blake books by L.K. Hamilton, but I like Dante Valentine a hell of a lot more than I did Anita, right from the start. We'll see where the rest of the series goes...

30 Công Thức Nấu Ăn Của Yanny - Món Chay Cho Tiệc Buffet Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Yanny Đặng

It all began with a dream that Stephen Buhner had many years ago. As he was studying the the Usnea lichen for its healing properties for the lungs of humans, the lichen came to him in a dream and said that while it was good for healing the lungs of humanity it was primarily a medicine for the lungs of the earth: the trees upon which it grew. This concept was radical at the time, the idea that plants have a life outside of their subservience to humanity. This lead Buhner down a road of exploration and a final realization that humans are just one piece of the global bioweb surrounding us. The Lost Language of Plants is the way in which Stephen Buhner shares his respect for plant life on earth and reveals the amazing chemistry, the language, that all plants speak to each other and to Homo Sapiens. Unfortunately, this subtle communications system is under a serious threat by the pharmaseutical chemicals that have permeated our ecosystem. From the waste spewed by their manufacture to their entrance into city water systems, we are ingesting unwanted chemicals all around us. When the plants regulating our environment are sensitive to the part per trillion level, a small change can have catastrophic consequences. Humanity has developed internal and external wounds because we've lost our emotional engagement with nature. For the entire history of man's development, we've lived in small groups eating hundreds of plant species, constantly exposed to the wild nature around us. Now that most of us are fundamentally isolated from this wild world, we are missing a part of ourselves, we can feel it but we can't always identify it. The internal wounds are characterized by depression, anxiety and fear: the common words that describe the psyche of the American citizen. The external wounds are the harm we inflict on the biology around us, exemplified by the gaping holes in the ground because of the economic benefit of mining. During a visit to New York City, Buhner held a class where three women attested to strange experiences with plants. One woman had a recurring dream where her grandmother told her to, "get her fingers in the dirt" and when she did, she felt whole again. She wondered if she was crazy. The next woman was touring a facility and begun to hear the plants in the trays calling out to her. She wondered if she was crazy. The final woman had a plant which pointed in one way at night and the other way in the morning, telling her which way to go. She wondered if she was crazy. Buhner responded by saying that this was normal. Because we've withdrawn from nature we act shocked when we come into contact with the interior world around us. A world we've know as a species for our entire history. In the past, getting advice from ancestors in a dream, hearing plants or developing a relationship with them was considered a blessing. Now it can remind us that our species is another piece of the earth, no more, no less. That can be unsettling for many. At the core of this problem is the epistemological conflict of organic existence vs. universe as machine. Despite recent discoveries in science chipping away at the deterministic world view of Newton and Descartes, our society is built on a reductionistic view. In the world of plants that means: find every chemical in a plant, take it out, place them in unhealthy foods and sell them back to people. If we took ourselves apart would be surprised that we lost the ability to play music? Amazingly we've discovered that the universe isn't dog eat dog, the survival of the fittest has long been disproved by people like Lynn Margulis who won a Nobel prize for fleshing out the processes behind bacterial cooperation to build new species. We've lost the love of nature, the biophilia and replace it with television to substitutions for dreaming, with public schooling to substitute for the knowledge of the elders and the world around us, with machines for the living world around us and with simplistic chemistries for the plant medicines ubiquitous around us. In Sonoran Desert native populations, the children of the Yaqui and O'odham tribes claimed that their school made them superior to their parents and grandparents but were unable to identify more than 4 local plant species, whereas grandparents could identify more than 15. With 1900 Americans killed by pharmaceuticals each week, its time to ask if chemical remedies are a practical solution to our health problems. Chemicals from pharmeceutical waste facilities generate 100 million tons of solid waste a year and 250 million liters of liquid waste per year. The average US citizen produces 1300 pounds of excrement. What's in all this stuff that we release into the world around us? The drugs we take and the drugs we will take: antidepressants, tranquilizers, chemotherapy drugs, fugicides, sythetic hormones, etc... the list gets worse and worse. Our waste streams get processed but no amount of cleaning can remove the vast quantities of chemicals we release each year. German researchers found that the North Sea contains 150,000 pounds of clofibric acid, a drug for lower cholesterol levels. Studies confirmed that this amount accumulated from excrement. What does this mean? For example, Chris Metcalf, a researcher in Canada detected esterone, a type of estrogen in wastewater at levels of 400 parts per trillion (ppt). He then exposed Japanese medaka fish to typical waste water streams for 100 days and at concetrations of 10 ppt of esterone the fish exhibited intersexual changes and eventually changed sexes from male to female as exposure increased. I would summarize the discussion of antibiotics in The Lost Language of Plants here but its simply too chilling to break down. Basically, bacteria adapt to antibiotics quickly and communicate that adaptation to other bacteria rapidly, sometimes in hours and the amount of antibiotics increases in the environment every year. Our failure to understand that all life is important has led us to target the microorganisms instead of targeting the conditions that allow them to grow to unsustainable levels inside us. Plants are chemists, the most complex and well adapted kind. Each plant contains a minimum of several hundred chemicals, some even containing thousands. Even a small change in the ratios of these chemicals can change everything. Seeds emit combinations of abscisic and gibberellic acids, cytokinins and ethylene which regulate germination at levels of less than 10ppt. Without these ratios, the plants don't germinate. And these ratios change based on soil environmental conditions. When lima beans are infested by spider mites, they will release a blend of volatile oils that attracts a predatory mite which will feed on the spider mite. The plans detect exactly which type of spider mite is present by analyzing the chemistry of the saliva and then produces a different blend of volatiles depending on what kind of spider mite is feeding on it. The mix will only call the predator that feeds on the specific type of mite. Then the plants tell uninfested lima beans what is happening. And all this is cited with actual studies, it isn't just made up. Essentially this entire section was full of jaw-dropping moments which relate how plants interact with each other. With each example backed up by solid science. We don't need chemical medicines when we have plants. Plants contain everything we need and more. The more I've thought about it, the more Buhner's crowning statement makes sense, that pharmaceuticals are an issue because of their divergence in meaning. This meaning seemed unimportant to me at first. But the reality is that these drugs are made to profit the few and to alleviate the symptoms of human bodily conditions defined arbitrarily as disease. Plant chemistries are created out of an intricately interwoven biofeedback communication loop between elements of our ecosystem that aim to maintain homeostasis. Plant chemistries are chemical messages, man-made drugs are noise. Yes, western medicine is highly effective at quick cures, as Doctor House was asked why people take drugs he responded, "...because they work." That is no understatement. Our medicines work, but primarily to maintain the lifestyle we lead in defiance of our true nature. Western medicine saves lives, specifically in surgeries. But we can't extrapolate surgical successes to justify the continued reliance on prescription and over-the-counter chemicals. Challenge yourself to explore a remedy to your ailment that is outside the doctors recommendation. Herbs can be finicky. They only speak to certain people, stinging nettles work wonders for my sinuses, they do nothing for others. As long as we live in our current world, we will have need for modern medicine. As KMO of the C-Realm podcast recently relayed in a story about a woman stricken with an infection, her problem was only remedied by hospital medicine after trying out indigenous approaches. We need both to survive our current lifestyle. But they can live in harmony. Now when I hear the stories of co-workers on 10+ prescription medicines I'll cringe and hope for a better understanding of the miraculous nature of plant medicines. Perhaps my intense interest in herbs as a child was just a preparation for my future education. Read Buhner's Lost Language of Plants and your world will change dramatically. If you read the first 20 pages you'll either throw it out, claiming it is nonsense or you'll be hooked, realizing that he describes the world that we've covered up with pavement and strip malls.

And Then There Were None Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Agatha Christie

I'm not a big fan of this book, though I'm told it's one of the best Phonology texts out there. I'm in general dismayed with the quality of pedagogical materials in linguistics. The text is interesting, if a bit dry, but the problem sets are poorly organized. The occasional page break would go a long way to making the problems easier to deal with, with less flipping back and forth (it seems there's constantly the first half of a problem on one side, the second half on the next page.) And would it have killed the authors/publishers to just include a nice feature chart on one of the end-flaps? I realize not all phonologists use the same feature set, but it seems like all the problems in the book could share one, and stop us from flipping back and forth through the early chapters to solve problems. Finally, why use APA throughout the text, while giving us an IPA chart to use? One or the other, but why switch for no apparent reason?

Chuyển Động Ghép Hình - Slide And Play: Phương Tiện Giao Thông (Song Ngữ) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Minh Quyên

For some reason I thought this was an autobiography.. then about half way through, my encyclopedic knowledge of video games, as if it incarnated as a person, told me that there was no such game that they played in the office. Once I realized it was fiction, it was a lot less interesting to me. I think that this book was supposed to speak to me (much like my knowledge) and I was supposed to relate to it in some way since I am a member of a lost generation and I like video games. I dunno... The ending(s) are kind of a trip.
