HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHTMiriam Miller barely escapes the ruthless attacker that killed her mother and kidnapped her sister. Running deeper into the woods, she's running out of hope....until she falls into the arms of an unlikely bodyguard—a peaceful Amish farmer. Something about Abram Zook inspires her trust, but even in bucolic Willkommen, Georgia, Miriam faces danger. Both from the men pursuing her and from her growing feelings for the caring—though guarded—widower who protects her. Because if she falls for Abram she’ll have to embrace his Amish faith as her own—or lose him. With each minute, her abductor creeps closer, pushing Miriam to an inevitable choice: stay and risk her heart....or leave and risk her life. Получить ссылку |

Kasvatamishirm. Varskemaid uuringuid laste kasvatamisest
Автор: Po Bronson
Год издания:
Moiste “kasvatushirm”, nagu seda uldiselt kasutatakse, viitab paanikale (mis on vastsete lapsevanemate seas tavaline), et see muutiline teadmuse late mingil pohjusel ei vallandugi. Raamatu keskne eeldus on, et paljud nuudisaja uhiskonna lastekasvatusstrateegiad annavad tegelikult tagasilooke – kuna olulised teaduslikud teekaanakud on jaetud kahe silma vahele. Sellest tulenevad vaarad eeldused laste arengu kohta on moonutanud lastekasvatamise tavasid, koolide oppekavasid ja sotsiaalpoliitikat. Kaesoleva raamatu eesmark ei ole hairekella luua, vaid opetada meid lastest teistmoodi, sugavamalt ja selgemalt motlema. Raamatus kasitletud teemad on laiahaardelised, puhendatud vordsetes osades aju ehitusele ja moraalsetele toekspidamistele. Need seostuvad igas eas lastega, mudilastest teismelisteni. Autorid on puhendanud eraldi peatukid laste enesekindlusele, oounele, valetamisele, rassistlikele hoiakutele, intelligentsusele, odede-vendade konfliktile, teismeea massule, enesekontrollile, agressioonile, tanulikkusele ja keeleoskuse omandamisele.

Год издания:
The keys to better business from a thriving group of business owners-the Amish Business can be discouraging. According to US Department of Labor figures, only 44 percent of newly-opened firms will last four years. Amish firms, on the other hand, have registered a 95% survival rate over a five-year period.
