A Life in Bits and Pieces (eBook, ePUB)
Morgan St James is the author of twenty books including the Silver Sisters Mystery series, the Revenge is Fun series, and over six hundred published articles. She has been fortunate to lead an interesting life, filled with various careers and travel to many cities and countries that all add inspiration and authenticity to her books. After co-authoring the successful true crime books Bella Capo's memoir, No More Crying Angels and Cheryl and Rob Cuccio's memoir, Incest, Murder and a Miracle, she was often asked where her own memoir was. Morgan has won awards for short stories and books, and has contributed to several Chicken Soup for the Soul books, so with a wealth of personal stories to tell, ranging from humor to trauma, she decided to write this book as a series of short stories. Morgan could have filled a book twice this size, but hopes you enjoy her adventures and the interesting people she met along the way. From a pre-publication review by Heidi Lynn's Book Reviews: 5 Stars. "WOW! I commend Morgan St. James for being brave and opening up and sharing her life stories in My Life In Bits And Pieces. This is not your typical memoir as she has picked some very interesting and fascinating stories to share. Some of them will pull hard on your heartstrings. So much in fact that I wanted to jump into the book and hug her. All these experiences have shaped her into the amazing and strong woman she has become today."- Shop: buecher

The Distance Learning Playbook for College and University Instruction: Teaching for Engagement and Impact in Any Setting , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 340min
First, let’s commend ourselves: how in the midst of a pandemic we faculty stepped up at record speed to teach in such a foreign learning environment. Try we did, adapt we did, and learn we did. But to be clear, and we already recognize this, this past spring was less about distance learning and more about crisis teaching.This time around we have the opportunity to be much more purposeful and intentional, and that’s where The Distance Learning Playbook for College and University Instruction will prove absolutely indispensable.Much more than a collection of cool tools and apps, The Distance Learning Playbook for College and University Instruction mobilizes decades of Visible Learning® research to reveal those evidence-based strategies that work best in an online environment. Supplemented by video footage and opportunities to self-assess and reflect, the book addresses every dynamic that must be in place for students to learn, even at a distance:Faculty-student relationships from a distance Teacher credibility from a distanceTeacher clarity from a distanceEngaging tasks from a distancePlanning learning experiences from a distanceFeedback, assessment, and grading from a distanceKeeping the focus on learning, from a distance or otherwiseWhat does our post-COVID future hold? “We suspect,” Fisher, Frey, Almarode, and Hattie write, “it will include increased amounts of distance learning. In the meantime, let’s seize on what we have learned to improve post-secondary education in any format, whether face-to-face or from a distance.”“We are all still active faculty members, committed to teaching, scholarship, and service. The unexpected transition to remote learning doesn’t mean we no longer know how to teach. We can still impact the lives of our students and know that we made a difference.

The Trailor Murder Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 16min
When the name Abraham Lincoln is mentioned , we usually think of the highlights of his career.We think of Lincoln the politician, the statesman, the orator and the man who did away with slavery.What is not as well known, however, is that Lincoln did produce one piece of fiction, The Trailor Murder Mystery. When Lincoln was practicing law, it was common for lawyers to write summaries of their cases and present them as fiction. These crime stories were very popular and, at that time, no one saw any ethical problem with this. Lincoln based his story, originally titled, A Remarkable Case of Arrest for Murder, on a the case in which he defended the Trailor brothers in 1841. Lincoln was a great fan of Poe's mystery stories and may have been inspired by them or it may have simply been the strangeness of the case that inspired him to turn it into a story five years after it happened. A Remarkable Case of Arrest for Murder first appeared on the front page of the Quincy Whig on April 15, 1846 and was described as, "A murder mystery by Abraham Lincoln." The editors also went so far as to add the following editorial note: The following narrative has been handed us for publication by a member of the bar. There is no doubt of the truth of every fact stated; and the whole affair is of so extraordinary a character as to entitle it to publication, and commend it to the attention of those at present engaged in discussing reforms in criminal jurisprudence, and the abolition of capital punishment. ungekürzt.

The Captains of Thor: What Really Caused the Loss of the SS El Faro in Hurricane Joaquin , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 203min
Was it the captain's fault, as many said? Or did the company, the Coast Guard, and the American Bureau of Shipping all have a hand on the helm of the SS El Faro as she steered too close to Hurricane Joaquin? This is an examination of a tragedy that has been well-researched and investigated - heroically so at times - by the United States Coast Guard and the National Transportation Safety Board. Three very well-done books have been published. All of these efforts produced detailed recommendations and observations and all are publicly available. I commend them to you. My effort touches on the broad sweep and events of the tragedy and investigation, but if you want the detailed story of the final voyage of the ship, you’re better off with the other books. My main goal here is to show how the SS El Faro fit into a larger system and culture - one that I have been covering off and on as a journalist and author for 38 years. It’s this system, I feel, that will result in another SS El Faro someday unless it is reformed. Another note on style. My preference in non-fiction is “narrative.” In other words, whenever I can, I tell a story and show what is happening; I prefer that to “telling” the reader, because I think “showing” is more readily absorbed. Humans learn through stories. Storytelling rather than a lecture better illustrates the emotions at play here, as well as the moods, culture, and vibe of the ship and the industry. This does not mean I take a pure poetic license. The dialogue quoted here is real, not made up. The material is factual. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Pete Ferrand.

Narcissistic Abuse: How to Handle a Narcissist and Recovery from a Toxic Relationship. Healing After Emotional and Psychological Abuse Disarming Personality Disorder. , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 180min
Are you the victim of a narcissist? Do you want to find out how to deal with abuse? Then, keep reading...Recovering from an abusive relationship requires a lot of effort on your part, and it probably took a lot of courage even to choose this book, and I commend you for that. It can be so overwhelming trying to understand different conditions you may be suffering from while trying to integrate back into a normal social lifestyle after the traumatic abuse you endured while in the relationship. Simple things such as communicating with others or making it through each day without questioning everything due to irrational thinking can make a recovery so difficult, but by forgiving yourself and taking every day one step at a time, you will finally begin to heal. Healing is a process, and you must remember it will not happen overnight. It may have been some time since you made your own decisions about your own future, and all of the possibilities can seem a bit overwhelming, overall. Figuring out which course of action is for you, while still being cautious so that you don’t fall right into the trap of another narcissist, is going to be critical with this one. And the thought of all these possibilities and what could happen in the future is enough to make you pause. A narcissist will always look for someone who can complement his or her traits. Opposites indeed attract, and the traits and characteristics - being independent, professionally successful, financially secure, fit, and strong - that you have cultivated will often draw a bad person instead of a good one. This does not mean you should stop being the best version of yourself. It just means that you must be aware of some warning signs so you know who you should attract and who you should keep at arm's length. This audiobook will focus on the following:Narcissistic abuse syndromeNarcissistic personality symptomsTraits that attra ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jessica Mathison.
