TEACH ME HOW TO… Police detective Brett Callahan thought he needed love lessons to lure the woman of his dreams to the altar, so he convinced his neighbor, Josie Matthews, to play teacher. But none of his teachers had been as sweet and seductive as Josie, and none of their lessons had evoked passion like this! Josie saw no harm in giving Brett a few pointers on the art of courtship. After all, she was immune to his attractions. But after a few "practice" dates, she longed for Brett in ways she hadn't realized—and that scared her. For Brett was off-limits, and she couldn't risk giving her heart unless she could convince him to make her his bride!

Book Description
Rules for developing talent with disciplined, deliberate, intelligent practice We live in a competition loving culture. We love the performance, the big win, the ticking seconds of the clock as the game comes down to the wire. We watch games and cheer, sometimes to the point of obsession, but if we really wanted to see greatness—wanted to cheer for it, see it happen, understand what made it happen—we'd spend our time watching, obsessing on, and maybe even cheering the practices instead. This book puts practice on the front burner of all who seek to instill talent and achievement in others as well as in themselves. This is a journey to understand that practice, not games, makes champions. In this book, the authors engage the dream of better, both in fields and endeavors where participants know they should practice and also in those where many do not yet recognize the transformative power of practice. And it’s not just whether you practice. How you practice may be a true competitive advantage. Deliberately engineered and designed practice can revolutionize our most important endeavors. The clear set of rules presented in Practice Perfect will make us better in virtually every performance of life. The “how-to” rules of practice cover such topics as rethinking practice, modeling excellent practice, using feedback, creating a culture of practice, making new skills stick, and hiring for practice. Discover new ways to think about practice. Learn how to design successful practice. Apply practice across a wide range of realms, both personal and professional The authors include specific activities to jump-start practice Doug Lemov is the best-selling author of Teach Like a Champion A hands-on resource to practice, the rules within will help to create positive outliers and world-changing reservoirs of talent.

Getting experience with the guy next door seems like a great idea-until the lines blur. Dev, a geeky first year physics student, has zero sexual experience and he's determined to change that ASAP. After a bad time in halls of residence, he's starting the summer term with different housemates and a new plan of action. Ewan lives in the house next door to Dev. He's young, free and single, and isn't looking to change that anytime soon. When awkward circumstances throw them together, Ewan offers to help Dev out in the bedroom in return for maths tutoring, and Dev jumps at the chance. They work their way through Dev's sex-to-do list, but what starts as a perfect no-strings arrangement gets more complicated as their feelings for each other begin to grow. If they're going to turn their lessons in lovemaking into something more permanent, they need to work out how they feel about each other-before they get to the end of Dev's list.

Book Description
"I'd taken a job as assistant to an elderly general practitioner working in a small Midland town. It was my first job in general practice; my first brave excursion into the dangerous world where patients walk around in their clothes...." This is a heartwarmingly funny, eye-opening and sometimes sad account of a young doctor's initiation. Dr. Vernon swiftly found himself bemused, fascinated and exhausted as he coped with the procession of (usually) ailing humanity that streamed through his office and awaited visits. Confused old lady, timid vet, puzzled diabetic, lonely housewife, hypochondriac athlete, all made their appearance--not to mention a tipster with an ulcer, a nun with dandruff, and a persistent young lady with abundant charms and no complaints! Luckily, his wise, worldly and well-loved employer, Dr. Oaks, and their receptionist, the doughty Miss Williams, were on hand to provide protection, counsel and occasionally rescue. And, after his baptism of fire, young Dr Vernon found he had accumulated not only a certain amount of insight (and a wife-to-be!) but also a host of good stories. Practice Makes Perfect is a look behind the doctor's door that will amuse, amaze--and, above all, entertain.
