Title: McGuffey's Eclectic Readers: Primer and First

Author: William McGuffey

Narrator: Robin Field

Format: Unabridged

Length: 01:47:00

Language: English

Release date: 07-01-10

Publisher: Mission Audio

Genres: Language Instruction, Language Arts

Summary:

Born in 1800, William Holmes McGuffey had a remarkable ability to memorize, and could commit to mind entire books of the Bible. After becoming a teacher at the age of 14, classroom size was just one of several challenges faced by McGuffey.

In many one-teacher schools, students’ ages varied from six to twenty-one, and few textbooks existed. In 1835, a publishing firm asked McGuffey to create a series of graded Readers for primary level students. The series consisted of stories, poems, essays and speeches and it is estimated that at least 120 million copies of McGuffey's Readers were sold between 1836 and 1960, placing its sales in a category with the Bible and Webster’s Dictionary.

Since 1961 they have continued to sell at a rate of some 30,000 copies a year. No other textbook bearing a single person's name has come close to that mark.

Format: Unabridged

Length: 02:46:58

Language: English

Release date: 06-29-10

Publisher: Ascent Audio

Genres: Self Development, Health & Wellness

Summary:

Farheen Khan was the victim of an Islamophobic attack by a stranger in a residential apartment building in Toronto. She managed to elude her attacker but the assault on her body had only just begun. For fear of dishonoring her family in the South Asian and Muslim community, Farheen didnt report the incident. Internalizing this experience so deeply sent her body into an allergic overdrive, resulting in fatal anaphylactic shock. Being unable to consume entire food groups gave her an insight into how a third of the people on earth are unable to eat for a very di?erent reasonpoverty and food insecurity. Despite her allergies, Farheen worked tirelessly to make a di?erence locally on building the foundation for the Muslim social services sector in her city. From the ?rst lick of soy pudding, to despair and back again, she realized that not only can we not ?ght adversity alonewe are not expected to. This is an honest and candid story about accepting the angels that come in and out of our lives when we need them the most, to show us to ourselves as a re?ective surface on a dirty wall. Sometimes being swept away by a giant wave beyond our understanding can take us to beaches we never knew existed; and in losing control, we can often gain control of who we are and what we are really about. Today, cured of 95 percent of her allergies, Farheen has founded and presides over several non-pro?t organizations to help relieve poverty.

Title: Lose Weight without Discipline or Willpower: Food Cravings Are the Reasons We Cheat On Our Diet

Author: David J. Lieberman

Narrator: Sean Pratt

Format: Unabridged

Length: 00:40:00

Language: English

Release date: 06-29-10

Publisher: Ascent Audio

Genres: Health & Wellness, Diet & Nutrition

Summary:

The New York Times Bestselling author, Dr. David J. Lieberman, introduces a wonderful right-to-the-point mini audio book that tells listeners how to end food cravings once and for all!

Human beings have a complicated relationship with food, both psychologically and physiologically. Need gets tangled with want, and reason is ensnared by the senses. If you ask someone to explain why they just gobbled a half-gallon of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream in one sitting, they usually can't. One part of the brain is stumbling all over itself to satisfy a ferocious craving, while another is simultaneously working through all the reasons why we should ignore the craving. But cravings are hard to simply ignore, aren't they?

Understanding how cravings seduce you into surrendering can help you to conquer them, maintain a healthy weight and improve your overall health. Most significantly, you can tip the scales in your favor, and harness the power of psychology and physiology to reprogram your brain, and to permanently counter your cravings.

Title: Chasing Stars: The Myth of Talent and the Portability of Performance

Author: Boris Groysberg

Narrator: Don Hagen

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13:21:47

Language: English

Release date: 06-21-10

Publisher: Ascent Audio

Genres: Self Development, Health & Wellness

Summary:

It is taken for granted in the knowledge economy that companies must employ the most talented performers to compete and succeed. Many firms try to buy stars by luring them away from competitors. But Boris Groysberg shows what an uncertain and disastrous practice this can be.

After examining the careers of more than a thousand star analysts at Wall Street investment banks, and conducting more than two hundred frank interviews, Groysberg comes to a striking conclusion: star analysts who change firms suffer an immediate and lasting decline in performance. Their earlier excellence appears to have depended heavily on their former firms' general and proprietary resources, organizational cultures, networks, and colleagues. There are a few exceptions, such as stars who move with their teams and stars who switch to better firms. Female stars also perform better after changing jobs than their male counterparts do. But most stars who switch firms turn out to be meteors, quickly losing luster in their new settings.

Groysberg also explores how some Wall Street research departments are successfully growing, retaining, and deploying their own stars. Finally, the book examines how its findings apply to many other occupations, from general managers to football players.

Chasing Stars offers profound insights into the fundamental nature of outstanding performance. It also offers practical guidance to individuals on how to manage their careers strategically, and to companies on how to identify, develop, and keep talent.

Title: Hailey's War

Author: Jodi Compton

Narrator: Angela Dawe

Format: Unabridged

Length: 08:04:00

Language: English

Release date: 06-15-10

Publisher: Brilliance Audio

Genres: Mystery, Thriller & Horror, Detective Stories

Summary:

Hailey Cain has a history of testing the limits of her fate: as a fearless bike messenger on the twisted, competitive streets of San Francisco; as a young female cadet in a sea of men at West Point. But Hailey also has secrets—the biggest of which led her to leave the academy just two months short of graduation, two months away from becoming a lieutenant in the U.S. Army.

Now, scraping and fighting her way through life, Hailey finds focus only when she’s in motion. When an old friend from her former life in Los Angeles calls in a favor, Hailey doesn’t have to think too long before she accepts the mission. She will escort a young Mexican woman across the border to a remote mountain town in the Sierra Madre. But what happens there will alter Hailey’s life irrevocably.

From the dustiest Mexican roads to the meanest streets of East L.A., Hailey finds herself ensnared in a war more deviant and ugly than any she trained for as a cadet. Deep in the gang underworld, pursued by mobsters and authorities alike, Hailey must use her instincts to stay alive—and to protect the innocent from a past that still haunts her.

Awash in sharp gangland details and unrelenting in its pace, Hailey’s War introduces one of the most memorable heroines in recent crime fiction. Hailey Cain is complicated, tough, and unnerving—and her journey into the depths of despair and desperation is as harrowing as it is impossible to put down.

Publisher: Ascent Audio

Summary:

The definitive account of Germany's malign transformation under Hitler's total rule and the implacable march to war

This magnificent second volume of Richard J.

It chronicles the incredible story of Germany's radical reshaping under Nazi rule. As those who were deemed unworthy to be counted among the German people were dealt with in increasingly brutal terms, Hitler's drive to prepare Germany for the war that he saw as its destiny reached its fateful hour in September 1939. The Third Reich in Power is the fullest and most authoritative account yet written of how, in six years, Germany was brought to the edge of that terrible abyss.

Title: 168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think

Author: Laura Vanderkam

Narrator: Elizabeth London

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:50:00

Language: English

Release date: 06-07-10

Publisher: Ascent Audio

Genres: Self Development, Health & Wellness

Summary:

There are 168 hours in a week. This book is about where the time really goes, and how we can all use it better.

It's an unquestioned truth of modern life: we are starved for time. With the rise of two-income families, extreme jobs, and 24/7 connectivity, life is so frenzied we can barely find time to breathe. We tell ourselves we'd like to read more, get to the gym regularly, try new hobbies, and accomplish all kinds of goals. But then we give up because there just aren't enough hours to do it all. Or else, if we don't make excuses, we make sacrifices. To get ahead at work we spend less time with our spouses. To carve out more family time, we put off getting in shape. To train for a marathon, we cut back on sleep. There has to be a better way-and Laura Vanderkam has found one.

After interviewing dozens of successful, happy people, she realized that they allocate their time differently than most of us. Instead of letting the daily grind crowd out the important stuff, they start by making sure there's time for the important stuff. They focus on what they do best and what only they can do. When plans go wrong and they run out of time, only their lesser priorities suffer.

It's not always easy, but the payoff is enormous. Vanderkam shows that it really is possible to sleep eight hours a night, exercise five days a week, take piano lessons, and write a novel without giving up quality time for work, family, and other things that really matter. The key is to start with a blank slate and to fill up your 168 hours only with things that deserve your time.

Of course, you probably won't read to your children at 2:00 am, or skip a Wednesday morning meeting to go hiking, but you can cut back on how much you watch TV, do laundry, or spend time on other less fulfilling activities. Vanderkam shares creative ways to rearrange your schedule to make room for the things that matter most.

168 Hours is a fun, inspiring, practical guide that will help men and women of any age, lifestyle, or career get the most out of their time and their lives.
