Despite finding time to write historical novels and The Dangerous Book for Boys, Conn Iggulden is in some ways better known as a trainer of Tollins. His Tollin troupe, Small and Mighty, are famous in Tasmania, where they often play to packed houses. Tragically, he lost his two best-known performers earlier this year. "The thing about transporting Tollins in shoe boxes," he says, "the really important thing, is to remember to put the airholes in."Lizzy Duncan, with her trademark blue glasses, was a founding member of the Tollins in Art program, where inner-city schoolchildren are taken to the countryside by bus and encouraged to paint and observe Tollins in their natural habitats. Tollins: Explosive Tales for Children was her first illustrated book.Lizzy's abstract paintings of Tollins are much sought after whenever they appear at Sotheby's auction house, and she is very active in promoting Tollin rights and registering them as a protected wetland species—or as a dryland species, if the weather's been good.Conn and Lizzy's first book together, Tollins: Explosive Tales for Children, was published in 2009 to great critical acclaim—and has ensured that no one will ever mistake a Tollin for a fairy again.

The Dangerous Book for Boys took readers by storm and became an instant classic, selling nearly two million copies. Packed with charming illustrations, it is a treasure trove of the essential activities and skills that have defined generations of boyhoods, from building a treehouse to fishing to finding true north.

Now, Conn Iggulden returns with more information, insights, and diversions for boys from eight to eighty. Designed with the same nostalgic look and feel as the first book, this companion volume includes more than seventy new chapters and important skills, fascinating historical information, and essential stories, including:

  • How to pick a padlock
  • Making a Flying Machine
  • Tying a Windsor Knot
  • Advice from Fighting Men
  • Questions About the Law
  • Chess Openings
  • Making Perfume
  • Maps of Historic Empires: British, Ottoman, Genghis, Persian, Medes, Babylonian, Alexander
  • Great Speeches
  • Forgotten Explorers
  • How to Wire a Plug and Make a lamp
  • Writing a Thank You Letter
  • Polishing Shoes

Parents looking to get their kids off screens can use this book to fill weekend afternoons and summer days with wonder, excitement, adventure, and fun—learn to build go-carts and electromagnets, identify insects and spiders, and fly the world’s best paper airplanes. This charming and practical guide, packed with hundreds of full-color charts, maps, diagrams, and illustrations, will ignite the imagination and stimulate curiosity, and provide grandfathers, fathers, sons, and brothers the opportunity to deepen their bonds. Conn Iggulden has at last put together a second wonderful collection that is the essence of boyhood.

How to Have Impossible Conversations Free Pdf

ISBN: B07NL74KR2
Title: How to Have Impossible Conversations Pdf A Very Practical Guide
"This is a self-help book on how to argue effectively, conciliate, and gently persuade. The authors admit to getting it wrong in their own past conversations. One by one, I recognize the same mistakes in me. The world would be a better place if everyone read this book." -- Richard Dawkins, author of Science in the Soul and Outgrowing God

In our current political climate, it seems impossible to have a reasonable conversation with anyone who has a different opinion. Whether you're online, in a classroom, an office, a town hall -- or just hoping to get through a family dinner with a stubborn relative -- dialogue shuts down when perspectives clash. Heated debates often lead to insults and shaming, blocking any possibility of productive discourse. Everyone seems to be on a hair trigger.

In How to Have Impossible Conversations, Peter Boghossian and James Lindsay guide you through the straightforward, practical, conversational techniques necessary for every successful conversation -- whether the issue is climate change, religious faith, gender identity, race, poverty, immigration, or gun control. Boghossian and Lindsay teach the subtle art of instilling doubts and opening minds. They cover everything from learning the fundamentals for good conversations to achieving expert-level techniques to deal with hardliners and extremists. This book is the manual everyone needs to foster a climate of civility, connection, and empathy.

A self-help guide as much as a book about conversations a new book from half the team behind the Sokal Squared AffairThis book is really excellent — readable, interesting, immediately applicable, energizing, empowering, and hopeful. It is so good that after reading it, I, a sane/non-SJW liberal on a very leftist campus, am 90% less anxious about conversations that may occur this semester. I have used it to good effect once already in a conversation about why I read very conservative news sources in addition to more mainstream ones. My interlocutor was accusing me of ill motives and hidden agendas. By staying calm and being willing to stop my practice if they had a good argument, the conversation went well and a classmate (who had previously been horrified by seeing the Daily Caller on my screen) was promoted to “potential friend.”The book is great. You should buy it, read it, and apply it.Useful Advice! This eminently practical book really can be put to immediate use to make impossible conversations possible. Following its recommendations has changed the way I engage with people, and enabled me to have discussions I would not have been able to have before.

DK Eyewitness Travel Guide Great Britain Download

ISBN: 1465467882
Title: DK Eyewitness Travel Guide Great Britain Pdf

"Known… for its four-color maps, photos and illustrations, the [DK] Eyewitness Guides are extremely user-friendly for travelers who want their information delivered in a concise, visual way." – Chicago Tribune"The best option… Color photos, maps, and diagrams bring the place to life." – The Philadelphia Inquirer

With superb photography, illustrations, and maps, this comprehensive travel guide will show you everything from the best places to visit in London--such as Buckingham Palace and the British Museum--to the spectacular castles of Wales and Scotland, the rugged coastline of Southeast England and the West Country, and the stunning natural landscape of Northern England.

Explore Great Britain's beautiful national parks, including the Lake District and the Peak District, and discover the country's rich architectural heritage in its charming towns and villages, and grand stately homes and gardens. There are also practical tips, transportation information, and hotel and restaurant recommendations to help you plan the perfect trip.

With hundreds of full-color photographs, hand-drawn illustrations, and custom maps that illuminate every page, DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: Great Britain truly shows you this city as no one else can.

Good luck trying to read this font! This travel guide might well be packed with useful information, but I'll never know. The font size is microscopically small and also mostly in gray rather than black. I'm middle-aged and still have good reading vision, but found it nearly impossible to read even in the bright light at home. Can't imagine being able to read it at all in the typical poorly-lit European hotel room.Too general to be of great use I purchased this for a recent trip to the UK thinking it would be a good resource to give us some ideas about the areas we were visiting. I have been to the UK many times before, but figured this updated book would be very helpful. It was not. We quit using it after the second day. To be fair, I think it is not really a fault of the book, but given the size and enormous volume of various spots to visit within the UK, the book can only cover so much. If the area or attraction is even listed there is scant information about it. It is certainly not helpful for accommodation or food choices. We also purchased a large map book of the UK and this was far more helpful as it listed attractions directly on the map. My advice would be to steer clear of a general 'Great Britain' guidebook and if desired, purchase a guidebook for the very specific area you are visiting.if you are looking for a serious travel guide with wonderful detail and many pictures as well as descriptions this is a well though out and well designed series. if you are looking for a serious travel guide with wonderful detail and many pictures as well as descriptions, look no further.

The Faith of Mike Pence Download

ISBN: 1641232250
Title: The Faith of Mike Pence Pdf
Author: Leslie Montgomery
Published Date: 2019-08-06
Page: 256

Leslie Montgomery has written an intimate and fascinating portrait of our nation’s vice president. Through dozens of interviews with those closest to him, Montgomery details the challenges and opportunities Mike and Karen Pence have faced and how their faith has guided them. The Faith of Mike Pence is an inspirational, unflinching, and compelling story for anyone who wants to know the truth about who Mike Pence really is as a Christian, husband, father, friend, and politician. For anyone interested in politics, faith, and the Trump-Pence partnership, this book is a must-read. —Ralph Reed Founder, Faith & Freedom CoalitionChristianity often receives a bad rap from politicians and the media. However, the basic principles of the faith, if practiced by those who lead our nation, could produce a gentler and kinder society. Christian principles demonstrated by the political leaders of our nation could go a long way in unifying a nation that has been blessed by God beyond measure and yet, divided by those who abuse our society with derogatory language and behavior. The Faith of Mike Pence demonstrates how such principles can be demonstrated in the life of one willing to set the example regardless of the cost. Leslie Montgomery has written an objective analysis of a life being lived by those principles, who is unwilling to compromise. Her motive seems obvious. Not only does she portray a life, but promotes a faith whose principles, if practiced, could change a nation. I have felt deeply honored to be among the interviewees for the book and even more blessed to have been Mike and Karen Pence’s pastor for more than a decade. —Dr. Charles Lake Executive director, Growth MinistriesLeslie Montgomery has written an intimate and revealing portrayal of our nation’s vice president that has noticeably been absent in previous works about him. Through dozens of interviews with those who are often reluctant to speak, Montgomery details the challenges Mike and Karen Pence have gone through and how they’ve overcome these obstacles through their faith in God.  The Faith of Mike Pence is an inspirational must-read for anyone who wants to know the truth about who Mike Pence is as a politician, husband, father, friend, and evangelical Christian. —Dr. Jay Strack President and founder, Youth Pastor Summit and Student Leadership University Member, President’s Spiritual Advisory CommitteeWhen Mike Pence walks into a room or steps onto a stage, you immediately sense that he is a man who walks with the Lord. You can see it through the compassion in his eyes and the confidence in his step. He knows who he is and he knows who guides him. There are few men I admire more than our current vice president. I would do anything Mike asked of me and I know he would do anything within his power for me. He is a man who is passionate about his family, his friends, his sacred charge as a public official, and his mission as a servant of God. Leslie Montgomery has intricately captured that passion and reveals the heart of our nation’s vice president in such a manner that it leaves you encouraged, inspired, and challenged in your own journey of faith. You simply must read this book! —Doug Deason President, Deason Capital Services, LLC Advisor for prison reform  Leslie Montgomery is the author and ghostwriter of over a dozen books. She is best known for writing the spiritual biography, The Faith of Condoleezza Rice, when Rice was serving our nation as secretary of state in the George W. Bush administration. Leslie has been a writer for Focus on the Family for more than twenty years and is the former director of publications for the American Association of Christian Counselors. She is also the founder of Yeshu’a Ministries, with the goal of helping people gain a better and closer relationship with the Lord through her writing, speaking, and teaching ministry. She has traveled to churches and conferences around the world through her evangelical ministry, sharing the Word of God. Leslie has four children and six grandchildren. She resides in Boise, Idaho.

Several books have been published about Vice President Mike Pence, but none have touched upon what may be the most fascinating aspect of our nation’s second in command: his deep faith.
The Faith of Mike Pence offers an intimate look at the man who calls himself “a Christian, a conservative, and a Republican, in that order.”
Author Leslie Montgomery details Pence’s spiritual journey and examines how the vice president’s commitment to Christ has been a key component in his life as a husband, father, and public servant. Montgomery examines Pence’s encounters with politicos and evangelistic leaders such as James Dobson and Charles Lake. She shows the role of Pence’s faith in running for various offices, implementing faith-based initiatives, and responding to 9/11, the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the infamous Anthrax scare in Congress that directly affected him.
The Faith of Mike Pence is a powerful account of one of the most conservative vice presidents in American history, with exclusive interviews and insightful commentary from friends, family, and colleagues. It is a serious and moving reflection about one of America’s most admired and respected politicians.

I enjoyed this book One of my most favorite things to read is biographies/memoirs/etc on how people go to where they are. I read presidential/VP biographies for fun. I was excited to get the chance to review this title - since I minored in religion in undergrad. This book was a wonderful read focusing on our Nation's Vice-President and his trust in God. One of the things that I love is that it tells how God has guided him throughout his entire childhood, teen years, adulthood and politics. I love how he has stayed true to his faith. One of my favorite things that he has said is: "“I’m a Christian, a conservative and a Republican, in that order.” In a world that has turned their back on God - this book shows that good Godly men still exist.Some of his political beliefs are discussed - but not dwelled on. This book is more of a reflection to how God has been a constant in his life. I love that he even admits, that he is far from perfect - and that God's love is perfect.This book made my heart happy.I received a copy of this book through the Celebrate Lit blogging program -- all thoughts are my own.A Behind the Scenes Look - A Lot of Personal Stories From People Who Know Him I thought this book was going to be a real drab, but I was surprised to find it was a real fascinating read. One of the things that made it so interesting is all of the insightful stories from the people the author interviewed for the book; people who worked for and with Pence, family, friends, Democrats, Republicans, people in radio, and so on. I was glad it wasn't held up by political garb and his views, but really about how his views were formed by his faith, which was instilled in him as a kid and developed over the years. I was surprised to find that Pence wasn't the ogre the media presents him to be. At the same time the author doesn't try to make him sound like he's an angel and talks about how he's made mistakes, but also how he's tried to rectify those mistakes. My favorite part of the book was about the Pence's marriage; how they met and formed their relationship and how it developed over the years. It really clarified why they have the closeness they have now; they have been an interictal part of each other's lives from the beginning of their relationship. I don't think It really matters where you stand politically. This is a great book to read if you want to know who Pence really is and what he's about.Excellent Book This is an excellent book and delivery was prompt.
