simple too

Coast Calendar, says its Pulitzer Prizewinning author, is the story of the work and play, the human nature and the weather, the fauna and flora, the ups and downs in a simple, all-around Maine family that mixes farming of the sea with farming of the land. This is Robert P. Tristram Coffin's delightful chronicle of a year on the Maine coast. With a chapter for each month, beautifully handled text, and engaging drawings, the book follows the revolving seasons, each with its strong Maine weather and accompanying activities on the saltwater farm, in the surrounding woods, and on the bordering sea. This is the world of coastal Maine, but it is a wider world, too. Perhaps the deep frost and the special swing of the stars and sweep of the sea belong to Maine, but the fine day-to-day detail of living in tune with the seasons and nature will stir memories for many of a way of life that is rapidly passing.

Cultivate lasting change with simple habits, from New York Times bestselling author Tal Ben-Shahar. Do you struggle to make real change because you’re starting too big without building a foundation first—get a new job, lose twenty pounds, learn a new language? Maybe the tools at your disposal seem inadequate, the prospect of change overwhelms you, and you feel stuck. In Happy Habits, happiness expert Tal Ben-Shahar provides accessible and easy-to-implement tools, and an easy-to-follow three step process, that can help you realize your goals, aspirations, and dreams. He starts with simple intervention techniques to reset your mood in as little time as possible–what he calls Happiness Boosters in the form of MVIs–Minimum Viable Interventions, which include: Taking three deep breaths Writing down five things for which you are grateful Reading a quote slowly and deliberately Vigorously climbing stairs for 45 seconds From there, discover how to improve wellbeing–spiritual; physical, intellectual, relational, and emotional–and build a stronger base within yourself for committing to change, increasing your willpower, and finding joy in the journey. The final step in Ben-Shahar’s guide will help you learn how to create the daily rituals that will help you turn goals into habits, and intentions into reality, using the 3 Rs of change: Reminders Repetitions Rituals With concrete examples, practical, direct advice, and an easy-to-follow action plan, Ben-Shahar shows you that while cultivating lasting change takes motivation, it does not have to be a frustrating experience that is doomed to failure: you’re just starting without the foundation you need for real change.

In a ruthless magical academy where she’s cursed and powerless, the last Onyx must unravel dark family secrets and navigate dangerous alliances to reclaim her legacy and make those who betrayed her pay. You don’t graduate Nightsbridge Academy—you survive it. Born into a sorcerer bloodline, cursed, and cut off from my power, I was accustomed to being an outcast. For generations, my bloodline carried the weight of a crime committed by our ancestor. But my mother’s death changed everything. She left a clue that could prove our innocence: an ancient text hidden deep beneath Nightsbridge Academy. The Academy is a fortress of power, housing the most dangerous incantors and sorcerers, conscripted to keep Horrors and Echoes at bay. And as the last surviving Onyx, I’m owed admission. My plan is simple—find the book and expose the Imperium as the liars they are. But I didn’t plan for the whispers that haunt my dreams. Or the complication of feelings I shouldn’t be capable of—stirred by two men bound to the very institution I’ve come to destroy. One sees too much yet says too little. The other is steady, protective, and always in my corner. I can’t have either. Yet when I’m in their presence…my curse begins to crack. If they discover my true purpose, I’m dead. But some truths are worth dying for. The Imperium cursed my bloodline. Stripped us of our magic. Branded us as traitors. And now they will pay.

Someone his mother will hate, so she'll finally abandon her dreams of getting him married. Vanessa's little sister, Lisa, has her eye on Jason, and what better way to score him than by pulling the starter ex out of retirement one last time? The rules are simple: no touching, no fooling around, and definitely no falling in love. But nothing's going according to plan, and nothing Vanessa does is scaring Jason away.

A guide to finding the cure for harmful thoughts-the key lies in the ancient principle of alchemy. We may not realize it consciously, but negative feelings can be as toxic as physical poisons, wearing on us and causing depression, illness, and burnout. But how can we keep ourselves safe in a world too often ruled by resentment, jealousy, rage, and stress? Many people think that the old alchemists were trying to turn lead into gold. But in actuality, as Sandra Ingerman-a practicing shaman and psychologist-reveals, they were metaphorically working on transforming heavy leaded consciousness into gold light consciousness. Using their theories, Ingerman offers strategies for processing the harmful thoughts and emotions that hit us throughout our day. Instead of sending and receiving lethal energy, you will learn, through meditations, visualizations, and other exercises, how to radiate positive thoughts and shield yourself from those that are destructive. Her methods of simple...but they can change you, others, and the world.

'A fantastic book.' WIRED 'Witty and instructive.' WALL STREET JOURNAL 'Invaluable for anyone wanting to make long-lasting change a reality.' BBC FOCUS 'A must-read.' FORBES ______________________________________________ We all know that change is hard. It's unsettling, it's time-consuming, and all too often we give up at the first sign of a setback. But why do we insist on seeing the obstacles rather than the goal? This is the question that bestselling authors Chip and Dan Heath tackle in their compelling and insightful book. They argue that we need to understand how our minds function in order to unlock shortcuts to switch up our behaviours. Illustrating their ideas with scientific studies and remarkable real-life turnarounds - from the secrets of successful marriage counselling to the pile of gloves that transformed one company's finances - the brothers Heath prove that deceptively simple methods can yield truly extraordinary results. In a compelling, story-driven narrative, the Heaths bring together decades of counterintuitive research in psychology, sociology, and other fields to shed new light on how we can effect transformative change.

Knit beautiful top-down sweaters with 12 different decorative yokes Classic yoke sweaters never go out of style - a yoke is the perfect canvas for textured and colorwork patterns, and this collection of knitting patterns features designs for 12 different sweaters which will have you reaching for your needles. Yoke sweaters are practical and beautiful - a colorwork yoke can take a simple knitted sweater to another level by introducing a decorative element at the neckline of the jumper.Knitting pattern designer and author, Olga Putano, has designed three basic sweaters patterns for different yarn weights: DK; fingering (also known as sock or 4ply), and worsted (aran), so you can choose your preferred style, and then there are patterns for four different yoke designs for each of the basic sweaters.The sweater yoke designs feature stunning but simple colourwork so you can get really creative with your favourite colour palette. The designs look intricate but they are all worked in two colours, so they are easier than they look. The patterns only use two colours in a row, so they are suitable for beginner to intermediate knitters but exciting enough to appeal to experienced knitters.The textured yoke designs are a subtle way to add interest around the neckline with simple cabling techniques, and there are step-by-step instructions for cable stitch as well as any other special stitches and techniques.All the sweaters in this collection are knitted top down and in the round which means there is no sewing up to do at the end. The whole yoke section is knitted in one piece, increasing as you go until it reaches the correct circumference and then the body and sleeves are knitted in the round separately. This means that you can adjust the length of the sweater to get the perfect fit by trying it on as you go. Fit is important when it comes to sweater knitting and all the patterns have been graded to a wide range of sizes, up to a size 68" chest.Knitting in the round has other benefits too: you can't drop stitches, the weight of the stitches can be more evenly distributed making it a more comfortable way to knit for some people, and when doing stockinette (stocking) stitch there is no need to purl.

This book does for retailing what Goldratt's international bestseller The Goal did for manufacturing. A breakthrough solution is exposed when some unexpected events force Caroline and Paul, a married couple working for their family's retail business, to make a few small changes in the way things are done. A solution that propels the family's regional chain of stores into a very profitable, rapidly growing, international enterprise. If there is a hint of Jonah, from The Goal, reappearing in this novel, it is Henry, the soon-to-retire president and majority owner of the company who logically states that, "if you do not deal directly with the core problem, don't expect significant improvement." Eli Goldratt's Theory of Constraints is woven throughout this book but answers are not handed to you. The reader and the characters in the book work through the process together to discover solutions. Dr Goldratt deals with core problems inherent in the retail industry: The inability to forecast future demand accurately enough A very long supply time (often much longer than anyone thinks it is) Retailers purchasing too few of some items and too many of others The way today's approach to logistics is forcing the inventory that is in the supply chain to be unavailable where and when it is needed The elegant but simple solutions give the reader that sensation that followers love about Goldratt: "Ah-ha! Now I get it!" And that's when Goldratt says: "Isn't It Obvious?"

A soft city man falls into the cold, wild sea when his ferry breaks in a storm. A rough seal-hunting ship pulls him up - and the hard captain, Wolf Larsen, decides the weak man will now work, or die at sea. This is THE SEA-WOLF, the classic Jack London adventure retold as a comic book graded reader for adults who are learning English. It is written at CEFR A1 level, so the whole gripping story is told in short, simple sentences you can read on the first try. Every page pairs one clear picture with one short line of text. You see the storm, the ship, the rope, the wave - and you read the words that match. Picture and phrase land together, so the meaning is obvious and the new word stays in memory. You stop translating in your head and start reading English directly. WHY THIS BOOK IS DIFFERENT Most beginner books are either too hard or too dull. This one is neither. It takes a strong, dramatic story - a man forced to grow tough at sea, a woman saved from the waves, a cruel captain who slowly weakens - and tells it with vivid comic-book art on every page. The simple sentences carry a real plot with real tension, so you keep turning the page to find out what happens. You learn because you want to know the ending, not because you are studying a list. Each short line adds one small piece of the story, and the pictures fill in the rest. The art does the heavy lifting that A1 words cannot. When the man climbs the mast or grips the wet rope, the picture shows you exactly what each verb means. This is how visual memory works: see the image, know the word, speak English. The vocabulary is small and repeats often. The same high-frequency words come back scene after scene, so by the last page they feel like old friends. This gentle, rewarding repetition is what builds real reading confidence - the kind of confidence a wall of new words destroys. WHAT YOU WILL FIND INSIDE - 118 pages (104 story pages) of full comic-book illustration - CEFR level: A1 (Beginner), built on the most common English words - 1412 words of simple, clear story text - 328 headwords - a small, high-frequency vocabulary you can truly master - One image for every idea, so no dictionary is needed - Ten picture-based exercises plus a full answer key to check your reading >The story is complete in this one book. There is a beginning, a middle, and a satisfying end - a soft man who becomes brave, and a hard sea that finally sets him free. If you have tried apps that drill words with no story, this is the opposite. Here the words live inside a plot you care about, and that is what makes them stick. Read it in one sitting, or one scene a day - either way, you finish a whole English book, and that feeling is powerful. Read a real adventure. Learn English the natural way. See the picture. Know the word. Speak English. >Part of the Comic Book Graded Readers series: Level 1 - A1, Level 2 - A2, and Level 3 - A2+/B1 - one strong story at every step.

So many stars. So many worlds. So why is the sky so quiet? This is a graded reader to learn English through easy English reading - an illustrated comic book for adult ESL and EFL beginners at CEFR A1 level, built to grow your vocabulary while you discover one of the biggest questions in science: the Fermi Paradox, or "Where is everyone?" Maya listens to the stars. Every night she puts on her late mother's old red headphones and sits under a huge white radio dish on a small green island. She hears only noise. Her friend Ben, an engineer, does not believe anyone is out there - but he helps her, and he makes popcorn at seven every night. Her father Tom, the lighthouse keeper, wants her to stop listening to the sky. Then a man from the city arrives on the boat with a letter: ten nights, and the dish will close. This is fiction, not a documentary. But every clue in the story is real science, told in very simple words: there may be more stars than grains of sand, most stars have planets, some planets are not too hot and not too cold, and space is so big that a radio message can travel for hundreds of years. You will also meet two true stories: a strong signal that was heard only once, and a big radio dish that once heard a kitchen microwave. The biggest question stays open, just like in the real world. WHY THIS BOOK IS DIFFERENT This is not a wall of hard text. Every page pairs one short idea with one full-page picture, so you see the image and know the word. The story is told in clear Level 1 English, with short sentences, simple present and simple past, built on the most common words of English plus a few theme words the pictures teach you. Each science idea arrives with an everyday picture: a handful of sand, a cup of tea, a lighthouse calling ships, a bottle in the sea, a school party where nobody dances first. You understand the idea because you can see it. The characters are adults with real feelings: a young woman who misses her mother, a father who stopped talking, a funny friend who does not believe, and a man who only sees the money. Their choices move the story, and the science grows out of their questions. WHAT YOU WILL FIND INSIDE - 118 pages (104 story pages) of full comic-book illustration - CEFR level: A1 (Beginner) - Word count: 1526 words - Headwords: 283 headwords - One clear image for every idea, for strong visual memory - Ten reading exercises and an answer key to check what you learned >Two gifts in one book: your first real English book and a window into a real science mystery, told through a warm human story about a daughter, a father, a friend and ten nights under the stars. Perfect for true beginners, curious readers and anyone who wants to read a whole book in English. Read a few pages a day, follow the pictures, and let the question pull you forward. You do not need to know every word to feel the story. The pictures fill the gaps and the key words come back again and again until they are yours. Read it tonight. See the picture. Know the word. Ask the big question. Start Level 1 - A1 today.

In a series of personal letters to his sons, Omar Saif Ghobash offers a short and highly readable manifesto that tackles our current global crisis with the training of an experienced diplomat and the personal responsibility of a father. Today's young Muslims will be tomorrow's leaders, and yet too many are vulnerable to extremist propaganda that seems omnipresent in our technological age. The burning question, Ghobash argues, is how moderate Muslims can unite to find a voice that is true to Islam while actively and productively engaging in the modern world. What does it mean to be a good Muslim?What is the concept of a good life? And is it acceptable to stand up and openly condemn those who take the Islamic faith and twist it to suit their own misguided political agendas? In taking a hard look at these seemingly simple questions, in Letters to a Young Muslim Ghobash encourages his sons to face issues others insist are not relevant, not applicable, or may even be Islamophobic. These letters serve as a clear-eyed inspiration for the next generation of Muslims to understand how to be faithful to their religion and still navigate through the complexities of today's world. They also reveal an intimate glimpse into a world many are unfamiliar with and offer to provide an understanding of the everyday struggles Muslims face around the globe.
