How to raise a viking : the secrets of parenting the world?s happiest children [eBook] / Helen Russell.

What do Vikings know about raising children? Turns out, quite a lot... After a decade of living in Denmark and raising a family there, Helen Russell noticed that Nordic children are different. They eat differently. They learn differently. They run, jump and climb out in nature for hours a day, even though the weather is terrible and it's dark October to March. And then they grow up to be some of the happiest adults on the planet. Her question was: how? In How to Raise a Viking, Russell takes a deep dive into the parenting culture of Denmark and the other Nordic nations, from parental leave policies to school structure, screen time, and the surprising customs that lead to happy, well-adjusted humans. This fascinating peek behind the cultural curtain allows readers a glimpse of another world, where babies sleep outside in their prams up to -20�C and pre-schoolers wield axes. Refreshingly funny and unfailingly optimistic about the new generation of humans growing up in the world right now, this is a heart-warming love letter to Russell's adopted homeland and proof that we could all use a bit more Viking in our lives.

One of us is back [eAudioBook] / Karen M. McManus ; read by Shannon McManus, Robbie Daymond, Holly Linneman, Jeff Ebner.

Brought to you by Penguin. Ever since Simon died in detention, life hasn't been easy for the Bayview Crew. First the Bayview Four had to prove they weren't killers. Then a new generation had to outwit a vengeful copycat. Now, it's beginning again. At first the mysterious billboard seems like a bad joke: Time for a new game, Bayview. But when a member of the crew disappears, it's clear this 'game' just got serious - and no-one understands the rules. Everyone's a target. And now that someone unexpected has returned to Bayview, things are starting to get deadly. Simon was right about secrets - they all come out in the end. The thing is, Simon was right about secrets-they all come out, eventually. And Bayview has a lot it's still hiding. Praise for One of Us is Next: 'Given that her high-school-based murder mysteries read like bingeworthy Netflix dramas, it's easy to see why queen of teen crime Karen McManus is a bestseller on both sides of the Atlantic.' - THE OBSERVER 'McManus keeps the juicy subplots ticking over and drip-feeds reveals as clinically as an IV tube.' - THE GUARDIAN Praise for One of Us is Lying: 'Tightly plotted and brilliantly written, with sharp, believable characters, this whodunit is utterly irresistible' - HEAT 'A fantastic murder mystery, packed with cryptic clues and countless plot twists.

Rethink Your Position : Reshape Your Exercise, Yoga, and Everyday Movement, One Part at a Time [eBook] / Katy Bowman.

A nutritious 'movement diet' is essential to our well-being. This book contains all the ingredients we need. -Mark Hyman, MD, New York Times #1 Bestselling Author of Young Forever, The Pegan Diet, and The Blood Sugar Solution This book is elegant and immediately actionable. You cannot help but be changed simply by reading it. -Kelly Starrett, DPT, New York Times bestselling author of Becoming a Supple Leopard, Deskbound, and Built to Move We make hundreds of movement choices all day long, whether we know it or not: Walk or drive? Sit or stand? Hip to the right or to the left? Heels or flats? So how can we make the choices that leave us feeling and moving-even thinking-our best? It starts with the ways in which our body is positioned throughout the day, whether working, exercising, or resting. Rethink Your Position is your guide to everyday anatomy and alignment-part by part. Daily aches and pains can feel unavoidable, but we can start feeling better by moving better. And moving better starts with our individual body parts, and the relationship between and among those parts and the forces or loads they experience. Professionals, experienced exercisers, and new-to-movement newbies alike will discover the big and little ways our body parts move. Rethink Your Position explains how to check the way different areas are moving now, includes precision exercises to get important parts moving better, and shows how to support better health by making small changes -not only at the gym, but at the office, in the kitchen, on a walk with friends….even while you're sleeping. With her trademark clarity and humor, biomechanist, movement teacher, and bestselling author Katy Bowman provides simple, engaging instructions that will have you rethinking your position by reshaping what you're already doing. Learn how to: - Avoid a tech neck by adjusting your head while looking at your phone - Set up your computer space to open tight shoulders - Switch up the way you walk for happier feet and knees - Care for your hips and psoas muscles by sitting differently - Adjust your pelvic tilt for a stronger pelvic floor and glutes - Wake up feeling refreshed by changing your sleep shape - Find even better form in your regular yoga, Pilates, or fitness workout - Care for your brain (and mind) with simple movements-like chewing! Transform how you think about movement. Then watch your whole life change!

Ten Ways to Destroy the Imagination of Your Child [eBook] / Anthony Esolen.

Play dates, soccer practice, day care, political correctness, drudgery without facts, television, video games, constant supervision, endless distractions: these and other insidious trends in child rearing and education are now the hallmarks of childhood. As author Anthony Esolen demonstrates in this elegantly written, often wickedly funny book, almost everything we are doing to children now constricts their imaginations, usually to serve the ulterior motives of the constrictors. "Ten Ways to Destroy the Imagination of Your Child" takes square aim at these accelerating trends, in a bitingly witty style reminiscent of C. S. Lewis, while offering parents-and children-hopeful alternatives. Esolen shows how imagination is snuffed out at practically every turn: in the rearing of children almost exclusively indoors; in the flattening of love to sex education, and sex education to prurience and hygiene; in the loss of traditional childhood games; in the refusal to allow children to organize themselves into teams; in the effacing of the glorious differences between the sexes; in the dismissal of the power of memory, which creates the worst of all possible worlds in school-drudgery without even the merit of imparting facts; in the strict separation of the child's world from the adult's; and in the denial of the transcendent, which places a low ceiling on the child's developing spirit and mind. But Esolen doesn't stop at pointing out the problem; he offers clear solutions as well. With charming stories from his own boyhood and an assist from the master authors and thinkers of the Western tradition, "Ten Ways to Destroy the Imagination of Your Child" is a welcome respite from the overwhelming banality of contemporary culture. Interwoven throughout this indispensable guide to child rearing is a rich tapestry of the literature, music, art, and thought that once enriched the lives of American children. "Ten Ways to Destroy the Imagination of Your Child" confronts contemporary trends in parenting and schooling by reclaiming lost traditions. This practical, insightful book is essential reading for any parent who cares about the paltry thing that childhood has become, and who wants to give a child something beyond the dull drone of today's culture.

Experiencing Christmas : Christ in the Sights and Sounds of Advent [eBook] / Matt Rawle.

Discover how everything changed when God was born. Everything seems different at the end of the year. We put lights on our houses to dispel the growing darkness, Christmas music floods local radio stations, apple cider and cranberry sauce are again on the menu, and wrapping paper and tape are always ready. Things just look, smell, and taste differently during the Advent and Christmas season, and these differences are a sign to us that God is about to do something radical and different. Christmas is when God surrounded the divine with senses of his own. That first noel was when God had eyes to see suffering, ears to hear our cries, and hands to hold those in need, and all of these senses were bundled in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. "This will be a sign to you," the angel told the shepherds, and they traveled to Bethlehem and found a child. What signs do you see during the Advent and Christmas season that point you to the divine? Additional components to use the book as a four-week small group study include a leader guide and DVD/Video Sessions featuring Matt Rawle.

The talented Mrs Greenway [Hot Reads] / Tea Cooper.

1814 Sydney. When Mary Greenway, freshly arrived from the old country, steps into the maelstrom of Sydney Town with three children at her skirts, she has high hopes of a new beginning, despite having little money and a husband in irons. After all, the sudden death of her sadistic first husband has meant freedom from her gilded cage and Francis Greenway is an architect of some promise, under the protection of Admiral Phillip himself. Mary herself is a woman of great resources and an even greater creative passion, a passion that will surely burn through anything that the filthy, burgeoning, vitality of colonial Sydney can throw at her. Soon ensconced in a tiny cottage in George Street, Mary sets about moulding a life for her family from the unpromising clay of this new colony, with a determination fired in equal parts by guilt for her disastrous past action that nearly brought ruin to them all and desire to see her true calling realised. When she is befriended by Elizabeth Macquarie it seems that fate is smiling on them with the promise of a better life in her grasp. But fate is a difficult mistress and with past secrets to keep, and current betrayals on the brink of discovery, the stakes are higher than ever. With Mary's grip on this new life slipping, will her past lies come back to haunt her?

The floating university : experience, empire, and the politics of knowledge / Tamson Pietsch.

"In 1926, New York University's Floating University sailed 500 American collegians around the globe, hoping to make them better citizens of the world and demonstrate a new educational model. It didn't go well. Tamson Pietsch here excavates a rich picture of this folly, its origins, and the insights it affords into an America that was being defined increasingly by both imperialism and the professionalisation of higher education. For Pietsch, the voyage traced the expanding tentacles of US power, even as it tried to somehow model a new kind of cultural expertise-with an all-white student body and crew, traveling under the implicit protection of American hegemony"-- Provided by publisher.

Here, and only here [eBook] / Christelle Dabos.

Beneath the paint, the plaster and the cement, inside the walls, in the depths of the invisible, I make out something that I still can't name. Something ferocious as hell that occupies the entire building and that gets into my bones. Something that will soon be part of me. After sales of 1.5 million copies of the Mirror Visitor series, Christelle Dabos reveals a new facet of her talent in this powerful choral novel. Welcome to the School of Here, an unsettling and peculiar place that is nonetheless familiar to us all. A place full of codes and weird, unspoken rules that are passed down from year to year. This new term begins as any other would at Here: footprints on the ceiling, mysterious charts that rank the students into ?High? or ?Low?, the Ultra Secret Club, and trouble in store for the students who end up an ?odd number?. Even if the players change, the parts stay the same, all ruled over by a bully called the prince. For Iris, Madeleine, Pierre and Guy, it?s an endless and cruel cycle that will reach breaking point this year.

In my blood it runs / Dujuan Hoosan, Margaret Anderson, Carol Turner ; illustrated by Blak Douglas.

This is the story of Dujuan Hoosan, a 10-year-old Arrernte and Garawa boy. A wise, funny, cheeky boy. A healer. Out bush, his healing power (Ngangkere) is calm and straight. But in town, it's wobbly and wild, like a snake. He's in trouble at school, and with the police. He thinks there's something wrong with him. Dujuan's family knows what to do: they send him to live out bush, to learn the ways of the old people, and the history that runs straight into all Aboriginal people. So he can be proud of himself.
