Cuba Libre! Pdf

ISBN: 0735218161
Title: Cuba Libre! Pdf Che, Fidel, and the Improbable Revolution That Changed World History
Author: Tony Perrottet
Published Date: 2019-01-15
Page: 416
The surprising story of Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, and the scrappy band of rebel men and women who followed them.

Most people are familiar with the basics of the Cuban Revolution of 1956–1959: it was led by two of the twentieth century’s most charismatic figures, Fidel Castro and Che Guevara; it successfully overthrew the island nation’s US–backed dictator; and it quickly went awry under Fidel’s rule.
 
But less is remembered about the amateur nature of the movement or the lives of its players. In this wildly entertaining and meticulously researched account, historian and journalist Tony Perrottet unravels the human drama behind history’s most improbable revolution: a scruffy handful of self-taught revolutionaries—many of them kids just out of college, literature majors, and art students, and including a number of extraordinary women—who defeated 40,000 professional soldiers to overthrow the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. Cuba Libre!’s deep dive into the revolution reveals fascinating details: How did Fidel’s highly organized lover Celia Sánchez whip the male guerrillas into shape? Who were the two dozen American volunteers who joined the Cuban rebels? How do you make land mines from condensed milk cans—or, for that matter, cook chorizo à la guerrilla (sausage guerrilla-style)?
 
Cuba Libre! is an absorbing look back at a liberation movement that captured the world's imagination with its spectacular drama, foolhardy bravery, tragedy, and, sometimes, high comedy—and that set the stage for Cold War tensions that pushed the world to the brink of nuclear war.

Great! This book was really well done! It reads like a fiction but is so informative and interesting. You can tell the author did his research.What really happened and how. Liked it very much. Very informative of what was really going on in Cuba at the time and what led to the revolution. Facts, not political white washing. Provides a whole new perspective on Cuba, then and now.Very Interesting Book This is a great read. I didn’t know a thing about the Cuban revolution in 1959. Read like a novel and very informative and interesting

Life-changing and remarkably freeing! Total game-changer! I read the audio version of this book multiple times, bought copies of it for clients, and shared it with friends. Never have I read a book that so radically transformed the way I think. It was remarkably freeing to become so aware of how much I allowed my own thoughts to run my life. After reading Michael's book, I simply allowed irrelevant, erroneous, totally made up thoughts to just float on by without attaching my emotions to them. THAT was freeing!Most human beings are completely unaware that most of the thoughts in our mind are complete untrue. YET, we believe them, follow them, become emotionally entangled in them, allow them to change our mood, allow them to change our behavior.This book was also freeing in the sense that I let go of needing others to behave in a certain way in order for me to be OK. The reason I was't OK had nothing to do with anyone outside myself. It was a miraculous shift within me (to say the very least), when I realized I was trying to manipulate outside circumstances for me to feel OK in life.When I realized the shift needed to be made within ME for me to be OK in life, total game changer! I let everyone off the hook and stepped into unconditional peace and unconditional joy! Have you ANY idea what life is like when your own peace/joy is totally UNCONDITIONAL? It means you don't need anyone to change or be different for you to be happy. It means no-one outside yourself controls how you FEEL. It means you're no longer an emotional puppet on the string of everyone else's behavior, attitudes, decisions, choices, etc. YOU feel inner joy/peace no matter what. Hello?! Total game changer!I LOVED the audio version of the book because the person who read it was perfect for the content. Not to mention the ability to hit replay a million times on the parts that were SO transformative.This was a unique book. I've read TONS of other books on similar topics but the way Michael conveyed the material was unique and different and I really GOT IT! Thank you Michael Singer for the growth, expansion, and transformations you inspired within my very soul. My soul now largely "untethered" from the constant (and mostly irrelevant) chatter of the mind. :) I am a new person as a result of this book (and a few other audios I purchased from Michael's website which expanded upon what he taught in the book).You are stuck in an illusion, would you like to wake up? I give the first 37 pages a five star review. Michael Singer gives a wonderful​ example of how you are lost in a dream-like state. You are at the mercy of every thought that arises in your mind and you have no idea of what's happening. He wonderfully shines a light on the process that is happening to you and if you are paying attention, you could discover one of the most important ideas you could ever learn; you are not your thoughts. The first 37 pages are worth the price of admission and I have added this book to my personal lending library.Unfortunately, everything after that is similar to explaining what a shadow looks like to a blind person. He will tell you about some pretty amazing stuff but he won't tell you how to get there. You should buy his book, it will give you one of the best explanations as to why you should meditate, but it won't tell you how to meditate or attain it's benefits.I would recommend reading Mindfulness in plain English after reading this book. It will give you basic instructions on what to do next. As a warning though, it has some brief supernatural references, please just ignore them if they offend you, it really does contain a great instruction on how to meditate and loose the bonds that shackle you to anger, anxiety, depression and whatever else you are suffering from. Best of all.....You will do it by yourself.

The Deepest Well Download

ISBN: 132850266X
Title: The Deepest Well Pdf Healing the Long-Term Effects of Childhood Adversity
Author: Nadine Burke Harris
Published Date: 2019
Page: 272
 “An extraordinary, eye-opening book.”—People
 
2018 National Health Information Awards, Silver Award
 
“A rousing wake-up call . . . this highly engaging, provocative book prove[s] beyond a reasonable doubt that millions of lives depend on us finally coming to terms with the long-term consequences of childhood adversity and toxic stress.”—Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow

 
Dr. Nadine Burke Harris was already known as a crusading physician delivering targeted care to vulnerable children. But it was Diego—a boy who had stopped growing after a sexual assault—who galvanized her journey to uncover the connections between toxic stress and lifelong illnesses.
            The stunning news of Burke Harris’s research is just how deeply our bodies can be imprinted by ACEs—adverse childhood experiences like abuse, neglect, parental addiction, mental illness, and divorce. Childhood adversity changes our biological systems, and lasts a lifetime. For anyone who has faced a difficult childhood, or who cares about the millions of children who do, the fascinating scientific insight and innovative, acclaimed health interventions in The Deepest Well represent vitally important hope for preventing lifelong illness for those we love and for generations to come​.
 
“Nadine Burke Harris . . . offers a new set of tools, based in science, that can help each of us heal ourselves, our children, and our world.”—Paul Tough, author of How Children Succeed
 
“A powerful—even indispensable—frame to both understand and respond more effectively to our most serious social ills.”—New York Times

Okay, But Hoped For More Practical Help I absolutely wanted to love this book based on all the 5 star reviews. And the first chapter does suck you in and really gets your interest. But be aware that a lot of the book contains a lot of scientific info, which is fine, and a lot of the writer's own experiences in researching these links. However, I was hoping for some practical info on how to treat the overstimulated nervous system. Overall worth a read, but I just can't justify more than 3 stars.Childhood toxic stress is responsible for most of the health and social issues in the world and it isn't being treated...! Studies show that 67-83% of us (This includes every human being on earth, too, since the studies have been replicated worldwide with the same results.) have at least one toxic stress issue (Adverse Childhood Experience or ACE) in our lives and from 12-17% of us have 4 or more of the possible 10 stressors currently defined. For example, if we have 4 of these experiences we are 10 times more likely to attempt suicide. With 6 or more, we are nearly 24 times more likely to attempt suicide! It is so accurate that it is considered "doseable" which is explained in the book. Auto-immune diseases, addictions, risky lifestyle behaviors, asthma, cardiovascular diseases, fibromyalgia, learning difficulties (ADHD is often mistakenly treated when it is actually issues caused by ACEs.), commitment issues, and many more health and social issues are rooted in these ACEs.The score we have is recorded in our nervous system and DNA which affects every aspect of our body's functions. Together, these factors will decide our health, job success, marriage and parenting success and even our longevity because of the power they have over the systems of our body. As the author points out, though, there are simple, non-medical methods of counteracting much of their effects through mindfulness, relationships, sleep, exercise, stress buffering caregivers and so on. Simple lifestyle changes can make a big difference in our entire lives if we will follow the advice given in this book. The author doesn't waste time discussing or blaming our parents for the way they have damaged us since that isn't the point. She does show how the effects of ACEs are multi-generational, though, and then gives hope by showing how they can be overcome and stopped through conscious effort on our part.Dr. Harris has impeccable credentials for writing this book and does so with the same expertise she demonstrates in her TEDMed talk on the same subject. This book is up-to-date since it was released in January of 2018. She uses good science and connects it with anecdotes from her pediatric medical practice in SF's poorest neighborhood. Her writing style is engaging and informative, scientifically informational while still being understandable. If you know anyone struggling with the difficulties of life who honestly wants answers to the reasons they have health issues or make the decisions they do, recommend they read this book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N7HZ73B/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0Perhaps the most important health story since antibiotics: Adverse Childhood Experiences What a phenomenal story!I was enthralled by every page, from her early vision for a medical clinic in one of San Francisco's poorest neighborhoods, to the discovery that behind many ailments lay the same biological root cause, our bodies' normal reaction to the stresses of Adverse Childhood Experiences, to the stories with strategies to buffer the difficulties of life for your child (or your inner child!), to her call for universal screening -- a fantastic book, by someone doing amazing, world-changing work. Brilliant and compassionate, scientific yet approachable, deeply personal and still profoundly universal.Main take-aways:* Your entire genetic code has some flexibility built in, and will be expressed differently based on your environment.* Adverse Childhood Experiences are nearly universal, across incomes and groups.* Having a large number of ACEs correlates with huge health impacts: twice as likely to develop heart disease and cancer, 3.5 times as likely to develop COPD, twice the odds of hospitalization for an autoimmune disease (such as arthritis, lupus, diabetes, celiac), and a greater risk of asthma, allergies, migraines, fibromyalgia, reflux, bronchitis, ulcers, "and the list goes on." (p. 73,181)* Neuroplasticity means epigenetics are treatable, and the stress response can often be brought back under control through therapy, meditation, and exercise.* Universal screening would help many people understand their bodies and break the generational cycle by becoming effective buffer/advocates for their children.

A Bright Future Download

ISBN: 1541724100
Title: A Bright Future Pdf How Some Countries Have Solved Climate Change and the Rest Can Follow
Author: Joshua S. Goldstein
Published Date: 2019-01-08
Page: 240

The most important book about climate change since An Inconvenient Truth.―from the foreword by Steven Pinker"A Bright Future starts with a bang. 'Few books can credibly claim to offer a way to save the world, but this one does,' the psychologist Steven Pinker writes in his foreword. That is a bold assertion, but by the time I had finished the book, I was half-convinced he was right."―Ed Crooks, Financial TimesA Bright Future addresses the fears that people have around nuclear as an energy source and illuminates a path to making it a more significant part of our energy portfolio. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to preserve the planet for our children and grandchildren.―Christine Todd Whitman, former head of the EPAA Bright Future lays out the only viable path that has been proposed for rapid global decarbonization.―James Hansen, climate scientist, Columbia University"A Bright Future comes along at a critical time for our planet. Its key message: the climate is changing, the consequences are serious, and we can and must take action."―George P. ShultzJoshua S. Goldstein is an International Relations professor who writes about the big issues facing humanity. He is the author of six books about war, peace, diplomacy, and economic history, and a bestselling college textbook, International Relations. Among other awards, his book War and Gender (2001) won the International Studies Association's "Book of the Decade Award" in 2010. Goldstein has a B.A. from Stanford and a Ph.D. from M.I.T. He is professor emeritus at American University in Washington, DC, and research scholar at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, where he lives. See www.joshuagoldstein.com.Staffan A. Qvist is a Swedish engineer, scientist and consultant to clean energy projects around the world. He has lectured and authored numerous studies in the scientific literature on various topics relating to energy technology and policy, nuclear reactor design and safety, and climate change mitigation strategies - research that has been covered by Scientific American and many other media outlets. Trained as a nuclear engineer (Ph.D., University of California, Berkeley), he is now involved in renewable energy development projects and also works with several "fourth generation" nuclear start-ups. For more information, see www.staffanqvist.com.

The first book to offer a proven, fast, inexpensive, practical way to cut greenhouse gas emissions and prevent catastrophic climate change.

As climate change quickly approaches a series of turning points that guarantee disastrous outcomes, a solution is hiding in plain sight. Several countries have already replaced fossil fuels with low-carbon energy sources, and done so rapidly, in one to two decades. By following their methods, we could decarbonize the global economy by midcentury, replacing fossil fuels even while world energy use continues to rise. But so far we have lacked the courage to really try.

In this clear-sighted and compelling book, Joshua Goldstein and Staffan Qvist explain how clean energy quickly replaced fossil fuels in such places as Sweden, France, South Korea, and Ontario. Their people enjoyed prosperity and growing energy use in harmony with the natural environment. They didn't do this through personal sacrifice, nor through 100 percent renewables, but by using them in combination with an energy source the Swedes call kärnkraft, hundreds of times safer and cleaner than coal.

Clearly written and beautifully illustrated, yet footnoted with extensive technical references, Goldstein and Qvist's book will provide a new touchstone in discussions of climate change. It could spark a shift in world energy policy that, in the words of Steven Pinker's foreword, literally saves the world.

Evidence based information is the most important prerequisite for effective action. Remarkable accomplishment. This collaboration between a distinguished professor of international relations and a professional engineer on the front lines of the clean energy industries provides unique insights into the greatest challenge humanity has ever faced. Together they clearly articulate the full range of issues surrounding our options for responding to climate change and document proven technological and regulatory pathways to success. Their work is readily accessible, clarified by helpful graphs and footnotes, and supported by numerous references. It is the most complete, up to date, and balanced presentation currently available. If you are concerned about climate change, global poverty, or environmental degradation, this is an invaluable, evidence based resource. If you wish to fight for the quality of life on Earth for many generations to come, this is an inspiring guide.Finally a hope for mitigating global warming! I love this book! Finally it’s not about pronuclear versus sustainable energy but a smart discussion of how to use all resources to save our overheating world. Goldstein and Qvist graphically portray the looming catastrophe of climate change in its many iterations. Then they use the world as their canvas as they compare clean energy projects in Sweden with those in Germany, share China’s commitment and technology, and let us know about progress in India, here in the U.S., and in other world countries. They explain how we need to ramp up nuclear production to supplement our transition to sustainable energy sources and describe the safety of current nuclear technology. Research and footnoted documentation support their beliefs. We share one small Earth and this book offers hope that we might still rescue our planet.Readable book on how some countries have solved climate change. Goldstein and Qvist bring realism to the debates about global warming and nuclear power. Goldstein brings international perspective from his textbook on International Relations. Qvist brings nuclear engineering and analytical skills from publications comparing renewable, fossil, and nuclear energy sources.The climate chapter illustrates the speed at which CO2 emissions must be reduced in order to avoid planet-overheating catastrophe. The resulting speed-of-change requirement is applied to potential solutions such as renewables and nuclear. Goldstein and (Swede) Qvist show how Sweden, France, and Belgium did largely decarbonize electricity their own countries in about 20 years — fast enough. The chapter on 100% renewables dashes the hopes of green energy ideologues, with arithmetic.This non-technical book has enough numbers and examples to be credible and persuasive, with references to back them up.

Play The Forest School Way Pdf

ISBN: 1780289294
Title: Play The Forest School Way Pdf Woodland Games and Crafts for Adventurous Kids
Author: Peter Houghton
Published Date: 2016-06-16
Page: 160

"Forest School, a grassroots global maximization of children's social, emotional, and developmental potential." -Retailing Insight Jane Worroll is a qualified Level 3 Forest School leader, running, with Peter Houghton, year-round Forest School sessions for children in London and elsewhere. She has worked outside for the majority of her adult life, in gardening, tree surgery and, for 12 years, as a Countryside Ranger, a role that included habitat management, monitoring protected species and leading volunteers. She has a degree in ecology as well as an MSc in environmental conservation.Peter Houghton is also a qualified Level 3 Forest School leader. At a charity supporting vulnerable inner-city children and young people, he worked as an artist (in woodwork and other media) and as a key worker, as well as leading Forest School sessions. He is qualified and experienced in historical and ornamental woodcarving and in green woodwork.

Help your child connect with nature, be adventurous and most of all have fun, with these woodland games, crafts and other activities from Forest School.

The rise of the Forest School movement in recent years is part of a groundswell of concern about the wellbeing of our children, with many media scare stories about child obesity, "nature deficit disorder" (as described in Last Child in the Woods) and lack of exposure to risk.

This woodland adventure book brings the activities and--learning through nature--ethos of Forest School to the parents of nursery and primary school-age children. It's packed full of ideas, from making nature jewellery and whittling a bow and arrow to building a shelter and foraging for food; it also celebrates the Forest School philosophy of encouraging self-esteem, confidence and social skills through engagement with nature. As well as sharing Forest School's brilliant ideas for activities, this book encourages parents to follow aspects of the Forest School approach in the way they handle play sessions; in, for example, getting adults to engage actively while being careful to let the kids lead; in framing sessions with small rituals).

Activity variations target different age groups, and there are ideas for small groups (for play dates, for example, or children's birthday parties) as well as things to do with just one or two children. While the book is aimed at parents, who are encouraged to guide the play, the activity instructions are written in a simple style so that children can read them too, and the illustrations are also intended to be enjoyed by children. With a fun, child-friendly design, this book offers an immersive experience for all the family. The book is designed to be robust enough to withstand outdoor handling while also being attractive as a gift for "green" parents, with charming illustrations and a retro design that together create a magical feel and chime with the back-to-nature content.

Full of fun, practical projects and games! This book is perfect for those who are already familiar with the forest school philosophy and are looking for a resource with games and project ideas. We’ve done some of the crafts in our own backyard and look forward to doing even more on our forest adventures this summer!Lovely book This is an absolutely beautiful book. Not only the content, but the book itself! It has wonderful little sketchings throughout that are just delightful.I would highly recommend it to anyone who has children or works with them. It has so many fun ideas on how to encourage kids to engage with nature and their outdoor environments. The activities are also written in a lesson plan format, so very helpful for teachers. Most of the activities could be modified for yards, parks, or schoolyards.Love this book so much Love this book so much. We are going to use it for our nature group. The activities are great and we LOVE that it shows the ages each one is suggested for. Great book.
