I love footballA Match Made
Hunter Davies loves football. And this book blows the whistle on his fifty-year love affair with the beautiful game. I Love Football provides an honest and funny look at why so many of us lose our hearts to footy. Hunter explains the sport’s history, the high and lows of supporting a team, how it felt being at 1966 World Cup, and what it’s like meeting legends like George Best and Gazza.

Voices from the Classroom: Elementary Teachers' Experience with Argument-Based InquiryVoices from the Classroom: Elementary Teachers' Experience with Argument-Based Inquiry

There is much attention currently being given to argument-based inquiry in national and state curriculum documents. Students are being required to be able to generate and evaluate science knowledge, and to think critically and judge the value of evidence and explanations. The intent of the book is to provide a rich and broad view of the impact of argument-based inquiry in the elementary classrooms from the perspective of the teacher. All the teachers and professional development authors were engaged in promoting and using argument based inquiry as the approach to teaching science.

Practicing the Power of Now: Essential Teachings, Meditations, and Exercises from The Power of Now (Audio)

Practicing the Power of Now: Essential Teachings, Meditations, and Exercises from The Power of Now (Audio)

This manual-style book instantly dives into Eckhart Tolle's principles of "living in the moment," which could be a jarring experience for readers who haven't read his preceding book, The Power of Now. For the initiated, though, this makes an excellent companion guide--rich in exercises and meditations to help readers get out of their minds so they can live more peacefully in their bodies. Sometimes it's hard to fathom what on earth Tolle is talking about: "To regain awareness of Being and to abide in that state of 'feeling-realization' is enlightenment." Be patient.

However, the reality is that travel for leisure, business, meetings, sports or visiting loved ones has grown to be a very real sector of the global economy, requiring sophisticated business and marketing practices.
The  Handbook of Tourism Marketing explores and critically evaluates the current debates and controversies inherent to the theoretical, methodological and practical processes of marketing within this complex and multi-sector industry.
