Five Children and It (EN)
Filled with wit and humour, Nesbit’s 1902 fantasy tells the adventure of five siblings sent to spend the summer with their uncle. One day, when the children wander from the strange house by the sea to play in old gravel pits, they uncover ‘It’ – a prehistoric Sand-fairy. Psammead (pronounced Sammyadd) was an odd-looking creature with eyes on long horns which, like those of a snail, moved in and out like telescopes; ears like that of a bat; its tubby body shaped like a spider’s, covered with thick soft fur; and at the base of its furry arms and legs were hands and feet resembling a monkey’s.

A Second Chance To Get It Right
Imagine this: you're sixty years old, divorced, broke. You've squandered away being the husband and father you should've been to your wife and children in your quest for status among your architect peers.
Don't worry: that's all about to change. Unfortunate encounters with large trucks on the highway have a way of altering your plans, like jettisoning you back into the past to wake up next to a woman you dated in college. You're also about to realize she hasn't aged a day - and neither have you.
Thirty years stripped away, just like that. And as a bonus, you have a six-year-old son you have no recollection of. You also have a new home, a brand new career, new friends and family, and skills you never had in your old life. There's nothing like straddling two distinct lives, trying to figure out how you know some things and yet not others. If only you could remember your past in this new world.
But what do people really know about you that you don't know about yourself? What kind of person are you? What secrets have you kept from those you love in this life? Is this your chance to redeem yourself, or are you fated to repeat the life you left behind and end up alone again?
Better figure it out, and quick.

As You Like It by Shakespeare, a Summary of the Play (EN)
As You Like It is a pastoral comedy by William Shakespeare believed to have been written in 1599. It follows its heroine Rosalind as she flees persecution in her uncle's court, accompanied by her cousin Celia to find safety and, eventually, love, in the Forest of Arden. In the forest, they encounter a variety of memorable characters, notably the melancholy traveller Jaques who speaks many of Shakespeare's most famous speeches (such as "All the world's a stage", "too much of a good thing" and "A fool! A fool! I met a fool in the forest").

Make It Stick
To most of us, learning something "the hard way" implies wasted time and effort. Good teaching, we believe, should be creatively tailored to the different learning styles of students and should use strategies that make learning easier. Make It Stick turns fashionable ideas like these on their head. Drawing on recent discoveries in cognitive psychology and other disciplines, the authors offer concrete techniques for becoming more productive learners.
Memory plays a central role in our ability to carry out complex cognitive tasks, such as applying knowledge to problems never before encountered and drawing inferences from facts already known. New insights into how memory is encoded, consolidated, and later retrieved have led to a better understanding of how we learn. Grappling with the impediments that make learning challenging leads both to more complex mastery and better retention of what was learned.
Many common study habits and practice routines turn out to be counterproductive. Underlining and highlighting, rereading, cramming, and single-minded repetition of new skills create the illusion of mastery, but gains fade quickly. More complex and durable learning come from self-testing, introducing certain difficulties in practice, waiting to re-study new material until a little forgetting has set in, and interleaving the practice of one skill or topic with another. Speaking most urgently to students, teachers, trainers, and athletes, Make It Stick will appeal to all those interested in the challenge of lifelong learning and self-improvement.

A B…a meg – Azt csináld, amit szeretsz! nem pusztán könyv – térkép, amely lépésről lépésre végigvezet a boldogsághoz vezető úton. Mindennap csinálj valamit, amit szeretsz! Ne engedd, hogy anélkül múljon el a nap, hogy kifejeznéd szíved vágyát. Azt csináld, amit szeretsz! Légy bátor, és hagyj nyomot magad után. Hagyd ott a jogi egyetemet, és menj el szakácsnak. Utasítsd vissza azt az előléptetést, és tölts több időt a gyerekeiddel. Azt csináld, amit szeretsz! Írj a reggeli előtt. Fess az ebédszünetedben. Énekelj pusztán azért, mert örömet szerez. Azt csináld, amit szeretsz! Tedd azt, ami boldoggá tesz, hiszen az élet rövid. Add el a vállalkozásodat és üldögélj kávéházakban. Tedd le a kávét, és vágj bele az álomvállalkozásodba. Azt csináld, amit szeretsz! Tégy kevesebbet, keress kevesebbet, tervezz kevesebbet, gondolkozz kevesebbet, beszélj kevesebbet. Azt csináld, amit szeretsz! Nevess többet, sírj többet, táncolj többet, szeress többet, engedj el többet, létezz többet. Azt csináld, amit szeretsz. Parkin arra vállalkozik, hogy megadja a szükséges lökést, hogy felhagyj a kifogásokkal, és végre azt tedd, amit szeretsz! Feltéve, ha tudod, mi az! Ha nem, az sem baj, John segít megtalálni. Sorra veszi mindazokat a gátakat, amelyekkel gyakran szembesülsz: „Nem lehetek ilyen önző!” vagy „Sosem tudnék megélni abból, amit szeretek!”. Segít legyőzni a legnagyobb visszatartó erőt: a félelmeidet.
