A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

From the award-winning journalist Paul Tough, a provocative and profound examination of childhood success and character--an insightful study that reveals the power to transform young people's lives.

Why do some children succeed while others fail? The story we usually tell about childhood and success is the one about intelligence: success comes to those who score highest on tests, from preschool admissions to SATs. In How Children Succeed, Paul Tough argues that success has more to do with character--skills like perseverance, curiosity, optimism, and self-control. In this groundbreaking study, Tough introduces us to key researchers and educators, who, for the first time, are using the tools of science to peel back the mysteries of character. Through their stories--and the stories of the children they are trying to help--Tough reveals how character has the power to transform young people's lives. This provocative and profoundly hopeful book will not only inspire and engage readers--it will also change our understanding of childhood itself.

Описание: A New York Times bestseller! 2016 Republican presidential candidate Donald J. Trump has a plan to make America great again. President Obama has been a disaster for this country. He's wrecked our economy, opened our borders to violent criminals, saddled our children with debt, and gone around the world apologizing for America--as if the greatest nation in the world needed to apologize for being the land of opportunity and freedom that we were before Obama became president. Now, America looks like a broken country--stripped of jobs, stripped of wealth, stripped of respect. And what does President Obama do about it? He plays nice with the very same foreign governments who are eager to watch America burn. This can't go on. And if Donald J. Trump has anything to say about it, it won't. In his New York Times bestselling book, Time to Get Tough, Trump has the answers America has been looking for, including: * How to finally secure our border and fix our immigration overflow * How to create American jobs by forcing Communist China into truly fair trade * How to retire our debt without endangering long-established programs--like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid--that millions of Americans depend on * How to undo the fraud of Obamanomics and the disaster of Obamacare Blunt, smart, and thoroughly captivating, Time to Get Tough is trademark Trump, setting out a common sense agenda to restore American prosperity and make our nation the world's leader once again.

Описание: The definitive edition of a cult classic by the legendary Diana Wynne Jones.

Imagine that all fantasy novels--the ones featuring dragons, knights, wizards, and magic--are set in the same place. That place is called Fantasyland. The Tough Guide to Fantasyland is your travel guide, a handbook to everything you might find: Evil, the Dark Lord, Stew, Boots (but not Socks), and what passes for Economics and Ecology. Both a hilarious send-up of the cliches of the genre and an indispensable guide for writers, The Tough Guide to Fantasyland has been nearly impossible to find for years. Now this cult classic is back, and readers can experience Diana Wynne Jones at her very best: incisive, funny, and wildly imaginative. This is the definitive edition of The Tough Guide, featuring a new map, an entirely new design, and additional material written for it by Diana Wynne Jones.

Описание: A gripping novel packed with heart and heat based on the hit television series "Saving Grace"
Life's been tough for Oklahoma police detective Grace Hanadarko. She's got the talent it takes to make her a damn fine cop--but a personal life that can make your hair stand on end. Earl is not your average angel, but he is determined to lead Grace down the road to salvation--if he can handle the hard-as-nails journey.
Oklahoma City is caught in the deadly cross fire between white-supremacist vigilantes known as the Sons of Oklahoma and black and Hispanic street gangs. Grace feels the pressure, especially when her best friend is targeted for protecting the runaway wife of the Sons' abusive leader. As if arson, vandalism, and bloodshed aren't enough for Grace to go full throttle, the very sick young friend of her nephew is kidnapped, and his abductors threaten to withhold medical treatment. But Grace has heart--and she won't put down her gun until there's nothing left to fight for.
