Описание:

Positive Parents' Guide - New Beginnings for New Mums, is my first in a series of short read books, enabling you to find ways to embrace your new role as a parent. Weaved throughout this book, are self-help directions on how to get the most out of being a new mum and show you the tools on how to raise a healthy, happy, calm, loving child.
Starting from the very beginning with your new baby, I show you how to use an easy formula to help you get through the early stages of parenthood. These methods are what I used whilst raising mine and my husbands four children, who are now all happy, loving, well-adjusted, respectful, independent adults. Positive Parents' Guide is a practical and often instinctive set of tools; enabling you to learn what is necessary to have a happy beginning and workable future with your new baby. Throughout this book, you will read about my own experience in the early days of being a mum and by following the guidelines suggested, you will not only help your baby grow into a loving, happy child but, you will learn to be all you can be as a person at the same time.
Each chapter has a Call To Action sheet designed to prioritize and streamline aspects of your life to help you focus on how to get the best out of each situation as it arises, together with stories of my beginning as a new mum.
I advise on the importance of establishing a sleeping routine, as well as suggestions on settling your baby through creating a night-time ritual, enabling everyone to get a better night sleep. I have included a chapter on sharing the role of being a parent with your partner, to help develop a strong foundation for a positive and sustainable future with each other and in your new family. I give suggestions on how to plan ahead by doing small things everyday and with these steps you will soon learn how to be a great mum.
From my twenty-seven years of experience as a mother of two girls who were twenty-two months apart and then twin boys, I had to learned how to make my life and everyone around me as happy, calm and joyful as possible. For the most part I succeeded ☺ I have managed to find a balance between being a good, fair and loving parent without losing myself in the process and that is my wish for you.
As a family, we have traveled and lived in different parts of the world where we didn't know a soul or understand the language or the culture. All of these experiences have widened our knowledge and helped us grow as a connected, happy and loving family.
Having experienced being a sole parent for a few years, raising four under the age of ten, was certainly challenging and exhausting at times, but these experiences have given me a deeper understanding on so many levels of relationships as well as the dynamics of being a parent.
This is a series of short reads and the first chapter of the second book Positive Parents' Guide - Two Under Two is included in this book as a bonus. In the months that follow there will be several books released to continue your journey as a parent, learning how to get the most out of each new milestone and different circumstances as they arise in your life.
This book will help you find balance and harmony within yourself and in those around you. Keeping you grounded and enjoying the role as a parent now and in your future, ensuring it is as happy and positive as it can possibly be.
Lets get you started on your journey of being a positive parent, with the practical and successful tools that when followed, will help you find the joy in parenting. I always say, "there is no time like the present, to start the way you mean to continue". So grab your copy now and find out how a few simple steps can make your parenting days wonderful.

Описание: TWO MASTERS OF HUMOROUS SCIENCE FICTION TOGETHER

GREMLINS TAKE TO SPACE

These little dudes may be the stuff of legend, but they're just as real as you and me. Far from the mythical, magical creatures of rumor, they are actually tiny aliens, marooned for centuries on this miserable mudball known as Earth. And they want just one thing: Off

Now, human technology may finally make a reality of their dream to leave this pathetic planet behind. NASA has a new rocket and it's Mars-bound. All the gremlins need do is hijack it and set a course for their homeworld of Gremla.

The only thing lacking is a hapless human accomplice . . .

HOME IS JUST ONE CLEVER TRICK AWAY

About The Best of Bova Volume III:
"Ben Bova is a living legend. . . .The hallmarks of Bova's fiction . . . are believable human characters and complete rationality. He adheres to the philosophy articulated by John W. Campbell, Jr. . . . that the best science fiction involves not just science and technology, but their impact on people. . . . I]f you care about the history of science fiction, or if you just want to read some good stories, you'll be happy with this one."--Analog

About the award-winning stories and novels of Ben Bova:
"Technically accurate and absorbing. . ."--Kirkus

" Bova is] the science fiction author who will have the greatest effect on the world."--Ray Bradbury

"A masterful storyteller"--Vector

"Gives a good read while turning your eyes to what might be in the not so distant future, just like Clarke and Asimov used to do so well."--SFX

About Mars, Inc., by Ben Bova
". . .perfectly enjoyable as an SF book (could Bova write anything that wasn't enjoyable?), Mars, Inc. has that torn-from-the-headline vibe that's obviously intended for a larger audience. . . . the bottom line? Mars, Inc. has inspiration, excitement, thrills, romance, a dash of satire--and is a good, fun read . . . ."--Analog

"The Hugo winner returns to his most popular subject: the quest for Mars."--Publishers Weekly

". . . escapist fantasy for rocket scientists and space engineers, those dreaming of these kinds of missions. Yet Bova's story is rigorously realistic. . . . a fun read showing you do not need car chases or shootouts to deliver a fast-paced and exciting story."--Daily News of Galveston County

Описание: THE HOKAS ARE BACK IN THIS CLASSIC OF HUMOROUS SF FROM POUL ANDERSON AND GORDON R. DICKSON.

YOU CAN'T KEEP A GOOD HOKA DOWN

The Interbeing League had been formed to make contact with new intelligent races in the galaxy and offer them membership. But when the League encountered the Hokas, furry creatures strongly resembling the teddy bears of Earth, the League's agent, Alexander Jones, could have been excused for wishing he had a simpler assignment than making sense out of the Hokas--such as singlehandedly stopping an interstellar war.

Not that the fuzzy aliens were unfriendly. In fact, they loved everything about humans, and adopted various Terran cultures wholesale and in every little detail--but with a bit of confusion about the differences between fact and fiction. So, if the Hokas suddenly started acting out the parts in a rip-roaring, shoot-em-up Western, or brought to life the London of Sherlock Holmes, complete with a pipe-puffing, deerstalker-wearing Hoka, or suddenly decided to fly the Jolly Roger and lead a life of adventure and piracy on the high seas, matey--well, that was to be expected. And as the Hokas threw themselves wholeheartedly into progressively wilder worlds from Terran history and fiction, Jones could be excused for feeling that his grip on reality was hanging by a single, thin, increasingly frayed thread.

Praise for the Hokas stories

Описание: Two Legends of SF Team Up! Poul Anderson and Gordon R. Dickson present the Hokas, teddy-bear-like aliens who take the stories of Earth very seriously, in this classic of humorous SF.

When a human thinks he's Napoleon Bonaparte, it's time to get out a straightjacket. But when a Hoka thinks he's Napoleon Bonaparte, you'd better believe it! Particularly since there'll be hundreds of other Hokas around who know for a fact that they're the French Army, mon amis, even if they're on another planet lightyears away from Earth, and the forces they're facing aren't the British but very nasty warlike aliens who by all reason should be expected to make mincemeat out of the Hokas.

But when it comes to Hokas, reason does not compute. These friendly, fuzzy aliens who resemble large teddy bears have a very vivid imagination and have never quite grasped the difference between human fiction and reality, or (in the present case), between past history and the much later and rather different present. Always bet on the Hokas. Even when a young lad and his Hoka tutor find themselves stuck on a planet where they seem to be scheduled to fulfill and ancient (and lethal!) prophesy that neither of them had ever heard of until now. Hokas as usual find that reality is merely optional and the good guys--and bears--always win, quicker than you can say HOKAS POKAS!
