Book Description
There is no one quite like your mother - but along with the unconditional love and understanding, this also means that there is no one else who always knows when you're fibbing, or where you keep your diary, or the terribly amusing thing you once said at a family wedding when you were five. In an affectionate, amusing and mischievous book, Judith Holder's tribute to motherhood covers everything from mothers through the ages (it's not only the Virgin Mary who we wish had had an immaculate conception) to maternal anxiety and those little things she says and why she says them: 'You're not going out like that', 'What are you doing inside on a lovely day like today?', and the classic 'because I said so.' Using interviews and testimonies from mothers and daughters of all ages, this is a humorous look at motherhood and everything that goes with it, with beautifully illustrated and funny line drawings integrated into the text.

Book Description
“This is a stunningly good read. It’s beautifully written and the characters quickly became so real as I read on...I had a blast reading it and found I could easily relate to Amy’s situation. Julia Myerscough’s 51 Weeks is most highly recommended.” - J Magnus, Readers’ Favorite The big five-oh is staring Amy Richards squarely in the face and she’s panicking. What has happened to her life? How could it have passed her by so quickly? How should she mark the occasion? A serendipitous stop at an inspiring museum and heritage centre gives her the answer: when she is old she must be able to shout ‘Je ne regrette rien’. Forget the bucket list, bring on a bowl of 51 weekly challenges for the coming year, the last one being to write about everything she’s learned. Chosen by her friends, these mysterious slips of paper will have Amy face her fears, do good for others, undergo personal growth, and even walk on the wild side! What starts out as harmless fun soon develops into an exciting and profound voyage of adventure. Friendships are forged and broken, infatuation tests morality and ethics, dark secrets are revealed and Amy takes a long, hard look at her marriage. She realises that in life, it’s not the destination that matters but what she learns over time and how this changes her. With parts of the story based on real events, 51 Weeks is much more than a series of challenges. While it is a hilarious, sassy, highly relatable novel, dealing with the realities of ageing we all face, it’s also an inspirational and empowering journey of self-discovery. It prompts readers to put together their own bowl of challenges, get off the sofa and try everything they’ve ever wanted to do - maybe learning something surprising about themselves along the way.

Book Description
Starting with the publication of their seminal bestseller, Future Shock, Alvin and Heidi Toffler have given millions of readers new ways to think about personal life in today’s high-speed world with its constantly changing, seemingly random impacts on our businesses, governments, families and daily lives. Now, writing with the same rare grasp and clarity that made their earlier books classics, the Tofflers turn their attention to the revolution in wealth now sweeping the planet. And once again, they provide a penetrating, coherent way to make sense of the seemingly senseless.Revolutionary Wealth is about how tomorrow’s wealth will be created, and who will get it and how. But twenty-first-century wealth, according to the Tofflers, is not just about money, and cannot be understood in terms of industrial-age economics. Thus they write here about everything from education and child rearing to Hollywood and China, from everyday truth and misconceptions to what they call our “third job”—the unnoticed work we do without pay for some of the biggest corporations in our country. They show the hidden connections between extreme sports, chocolate chip cookies, Linux software and the “surplus complexity” in our lives as society wobbles back and forth between depressing decadence and a hopeful post-decadence. In their earlier work, the Tofflers coined the word “prosumer” for people who consume what they themselves produce. In Revolutionary Wealth they expand the concept to reveal how many of our activities—whether parenting or volunteering, blogging, painting our house, improving our diet, organizing a neighborhood council or even “mashing” music—pump “free lunch” from the “hidden” non-money economy into the money economy that economists track. Prosuming, they forecast, is about to explode and compel radical changes in the way we measure, make and manipulate wealth. Blazing with fresh ideas, Revolutionary Wealth provides readers with powerful new tools for thinking about—and preparing for—their future.
