Book Description
Everyone knows that tortoise beat the hare in the race. Very few people know how the tortoise prepared for that moment. Join Tommy the Tortoise on his journey through the six goal setting steps that transformed him into the "fastest" creature in the forest. The same six step process that works for tortoises has been proven effective for humans as well. Like any journey, however, you cannot get to where you want to go until you are willing to start. All of the tools you need to have success in reaching your goals are in this one book. The story of Tommy the Tortoise is used to guide the reader through the six steps of goal setting. Each step includes sections to expand learning, activities, and worksheets. Younger readers will enjoy the story sections, while adults will be able to gain insight in the sections immediately after. 10% of all proceeds will be given to the Paralyzed Veterans of America to help support the National Veterans Wheelchair Games.

Book Description
Aesop the Owl narrates and then continues the story of the famous race in this very up-to-date adaptation. The original tortoise and hare have children. Tommy Tortoise grows up as the child of a celebrity, and Harriet Hare grows up the child of an outcast; and strangely, these children are united in friendship by the way fate has shaped their lives. But other forest creatures are not happy with the outcome of the original race their parents ran. Tommy and Harriet are eventually turned against each other and coerced into running their parents' old race over again, encountering a highway full of singing automobiles, a flood and worst of all: two human children. Songs include "Take It Slow," "Do It Now," "Winners and Losers," and "The Raspberry Song."--Publisher's description

Book Description
Dr. Walter begins with a history of the evolution of the brain, and describes to us something of the meaning of "that enchanted loom where millions of flashing shuttles weave a dissolving pattern." He then tells the story of the invention and perfection of the EEG machine and its clinical use for the diagnosis of brain afflictions. He analyzes, with vivid examples, the rhythmic patterns of personality revealed in different "brain prints," and discusses what light these new electronic processes can throw on memory, vision, fatigue, sleep, hypnotism, genius, lunacy, sex disturbances, crime, and other problems of everyday interest. He includes descriptions, with wiring diagrams, of the various electrical toys (including the speculatrix or mechanical turtle) which he has himself invented to demonstrate his theories.With an extraordinary gift for language, a minimum of speculation and a maximum of demonstrated fact, Dr. Walter has written a truly exciting book, a landmark int he advance of human knowledge.

Book Description
Once upon a time there was a prince without pity: he wanted to be the strongest and sent armies of soldiers to destroy villages and stop other kings, he even got it into his head to prove that he was worth more than God... Little did he know where this arrogance would lead him! Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish author, poet and artist. Celebrated for children’s literature, his most cherished fairy tales include "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Little Mermaid", "The Nightingale", "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", "The Snow Queen", "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Little Match Girl". His books have been translated into every living language, and today there is no child or adult that has not met Andersen's whimsical characters. His fairy tales have been adapted to stage and screen countless times, most notably by Disney with the animated films "The Little Mermaid" in 1989 and "Frozen", which is loosely based on "The Snow Queen", in 2013. Thanks to Andersen's contribution to children's literature, his birth date, April 2, is celebrated as International Children's Book Day.

Book Description
Addressing a field that has been dominated by astronomers, physicists, engineers, and computer scientists, the contributors to this collection raise questions that may have been overlooked by physical scientists about the ease of establishing meaningful communication with an extraterrestrial intelligence. These scholars are grappling with some of the enormous challenges that will face humanity if an information-rich signal emanating from another world is detected. By drawing on issues at the core of contemporary archaeology and anthropology, we can be much better prepared for contact with an extraterrestrial civilization, should that day ever come.
