Book Description
Tank You and More is a compilation of short stories: twisted vacations for the mind. If there is an hour to spare or only fifteen minutes from work or the kids, Nancy Preis has someplace to take you. In Tank You there is a plumber just waiting to introduce himself and his dirt-eating bacteria. They can keep a bathroom spotless, along with everything else in the house. Or perhaps the cool mountains are more intriguing. Visit Enola in Country Fried. She just loves visitors, usually spicy and well-done. Dave and The Ghost of Constance Fortunese pave the way for more lighthearted mind trips like the town of Flaggerhootz with Sean P. and the crew or Ovens Please and Bagel boy. If twisted romance is more suitable, try Love on A Fence Post. Be on the lookout for more vacations with Nancy Preis. They are coming.

French Tanks of the Great War
Author: Tim Gale
Publisher: Pen and Sword
ISBN: 1473881935
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
A detailed history of France’s development of tanks and the combat the tanks served in during World War I, by an armored warfare expert. The French tank corps was an essential part of the French army from 1917 onwards, yet its history has been strangely neglected in English accounts of the Western Front. Using information derived from the French military archives at Vincennes—much of which has never been published in English before—author Tim Gale describes the design and development of the tanks, the political and organizational issues that arose between the French military and civilian bureaucracy, and the record of these pioneering fighting vehicles in combat. All the major engagements in which French tanks participated are depicted in graphic detail, often quoting directly from recollections left by individual tank commanders of their experience in battle, and each operation is assessed in terms of its impact on French tactics in general and on tank tactics in particular. The Nivelle offensive and the battles of Malmaison, the Matz, Soissons, and Champagne are featured in the narrative, and the actions of the French tanks serving with the U.S. army are covered, too. Much of the material in Tim Gale’s study will be entirely new to non-French speakers. The story will be fascinating reading for anyone who is interested in the Great War, the French army, military innovation and the history of armored warfare. Praise for French Tanks of the Great War “Gale’s book . . . is very easy to dip into.” —Military Modelling “It is a wealth of information and I would definitely recommend it.” —Forgotten Weapons

Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
Practice the three simple phrases that heal relationships, strengthen connection, and change the world. We all believe that saying, “Thank you,” “I’m sorry,” and “Tell me more” will help us become better people, friends, partners, employees, neighbors, and global citizens. And yet, having been brought up on rugged individualism, we often slip into self-centeredness and a corresponding sense of entitlement. We have lost the ability to speak with gentleness toward one another. We have replaced kind words that connect us to one another with ones that divide, isolate, and hurt. Everywhere we turn there is deep conflict. In this simple yet profound book, clinical psychologist Rod Wilson introduces us to the sacredness of these familiar but forgotten sayings. What impact do these sayings have on our relationships? When we say, “Thank you,” we acknowledge the way others impact us. When we say, “I’m sorry,” we acknowledge the way we impact others. When we say, “Tell me more,” we acknowledge the way we impact each other. Try it. Read this book and be encouraged and equipped to deliver kindness in your speech. As you engage with these three phrases more thoughtfully and speak them more frequently, you will enjoy a life full of deeper friendships and joy.

Book Description
One of the largest challenges facing youth sports today is the lack of sufficiently trained athletic coaches. Studies report that less than 1/3 of coaches have any training in sports skills, tactics and motivational techniques. In his new book Get More, award-winning coach Joby Slay lays out the groundwork for equipping coaches in the fundamentals of their craft. “The difficulty in our society in training effective motivational techniques,” says Slay, “is the complexity of the current motivational processes or educational platforms. They require a significant investment of time, energy, and money that the average youth coach just can’t spare.” Slay has put together a formula in Get More that is simple to teach and easy to apply for a winning motivational coaching style. The book organizes these winning principles so that coaches can apply his simple formula with any team. With his effective motivational formula, a player’s talents and potential are empowered with new self-confidence to take initiative, to do more, be more, get more and to fuel their creativity, imagination, and passion, creating greater momentum and motivation. Whether a new coach or a 30-year veteran, the GET MOR3EE formula will help every coach to improve their coaching acumen, resulting in their team achieving breakthrough performance results.

Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
An inspiring guide to saying thank you, one heartfelt note at a time. We all know that gratitude is good for us--but the real magic comes when we express it. Writer Gina Hamadey learned this life-changing lesson firsthand when a case of burnout and too many hours on social media left her feeling depleted and disconnected. In this engaging book, she chronicles how twelve months spent writing 365 thank-you notes to strangers, neighbors, family members, and friends shifted her perspective. Her journey shows that developing a lasting active gratitude practice can make you a happier person, heal complicated relationships, and reconnect you with the people you love--all with just a little bit of bravery at the mailbox. How can we turn an often-dreaded task into a rewarding act of self-care that makes us feel more present, joyful, and connected? Whether we're writing to a long-lost friend, a helpful neighbor, or a child's teacher, this inspiring book helps us reflect on meaningful memories and shared experiences and express ourselves with authenticity, vulnerability, and heart. Informed by Hamadey's year of discovery as well as interviews with experts on relationships, gratitude, and more, this deceptively simple guide offers a powerful way to jump-start your joy. Hamadey found herself thanking not only family members and friends, but less expected people in her sphere, including local shopkeepers, physical therapists, long-ago career mentors, favorite authors, and more. Once you get going, you might find yourself cultivating an active gratitude practice, too--one heartfelt note of thanks at a time.
