Paperback. Condition: Very Good. New York Times Bestseller A startlingly original debut from the actor, writer, director, and executive producer hailed as "a gifted observer of the human condition and a very funny writer capable of winning that rare thing: unselfconscious, insuppressible laughter" (The Washington Post). A boy wins a $100,000 prize in a box of Frosted Flakes--only to discover that claiming the winnings might unravel his family. A woman sets out to seduce motivational speaker Tony Robbins--turning for help to the famed motivator himself. A new arrival in Heaven, overwhelmed with options, procrastinates over a long-ago promise to visit his grandmother. We meet Sophia, the first artificially intelligent being capable of love, who falls for a man who might not be ready for it himself; a vengeance-minded hare, obsessed with scoring a rematch against the tortoise who ruined his life; and post-college friends who try to figure out how to host an intervention in the era of Facebook.  Along the way, we learn why wearing a red T-shirt every day is the key to finding love, how February got its name, and why the stock market is sometimes just . . . down. Finding inspiration in questions from the nature of perfection to the icing on carrot cake, One More Thing has at its heart the most human of phenomena: love, fear, hope, ambition, and the inner stirring for the one elusive element just that might make a person complete. Across a dazzling range of subjects, themes, tones, and narrative voices, the many pieces in this collection are like nothing else, but they have one thing in common: they share the playful humor, deep heart, sharp eye, inquisitive mind, and altogether electrifying spirit of a writer with a fierce devotion to the entertainment of the reader.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. The book reviews recent theoretical and pedagogical innovations in foreign language teaching and learning in Chinese higher education. Facing new requirements of foreign language education, Chinese researchers and practitioners have responded by developing innovative teaching and learning approaches suitable for the local context. Firstly, Xu-argument and Production-Oriented Approach are theories proposed to address the weaknesses of low teaching efficiency and meet the needs for better learning effect. The former is a new approach to second language acquisition, contending that language is acquired through continuation, and the latter is a pedagogical theory that holds that learning starts with and ends with production. As an innovative teaching approach, Content and Language Integration (CLI) expands the curriculum to incorporate systematic disciplinary knowledge into foreign language teaching in the Chinese context. In modern media technology, multimodal pedagogy has been adopted to cultivate multiliteracies in language learners as new requirements for talents. In addition, Chinese scholars have argued for the comprehensive integration of technologies and have engaged in theoretical construction and pedagogical practice of technology-enhanced language teaching. Finally, projected-based language learning has been localized to foster innovation and creativity in English learners. Tom Novak (illustrator).…

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. A dangerous cult has recently taken over the desert ghost town of Paradise, Arizona. Members worship at the feet -- and in the bed -- of its charismatic leader, Ethan Wycliff, and obey his orders blindly. They've already tried to murder one woman and they're implicated in the disappearance of another. Nate Ferrentino, who works for private security contractor Department 6, has been assigned to infiltrate this group. It's a challenge he welcomes -- until he learns that colleague Rachel Jessop will be going undercover with him. Thanks to their shared history, he'd much rather go alone. The problem is, only married couples can participate in cult rituals. So, like it or not -- and they don't -- Rachel and Nate must pretend to be husband and wife. There's no choice. Because if Wycliff isn't exposed, if he isn't stopped, more people will die. And Rachel might be one of them.…

A great new beach read from the New York Times bestselling author of The Bookstore on The Beach A summer by the ocean promises new beginnings--until old secrets resurface. Ismay Chalmers is ready for a relaxing summer reconnecting with her fiancé at his family's luxurious beachfront cottage. But before Remy can join her, a hurricane bears down on Mariners Island. Alone in the large house, Ismay makes a disturbing discovery in Remy's childhood closet. She's not sure what to make of it, but is relieved when the property's caretaker, Bo, checks in on her.  Bo's home is damaged, so they temporarily shelter together, and Ismay is comforted by his quiet strength. But the unannounced arrival of a family member puts Bo back at his place and changes Ismay's summer into something other than what she wants--or ever expected. With so many reasons to feel unsettled, Ismay finds herself turning to Bo, who gives her more than a sense of security; there's something about him that makes her feel alive, stirring her to wonder what life might be like if she chose a different path.  As Ismay grows closer to Bo, she begins to hope the reclusive caretaker might eventually let down his guard. But when she finds out that he has secrets, too, she begins to question how well she knows any of the men in her life--and how well she can trust her own heart.   Look for other summer reads by bestselling author Brenda Novak: The Seaside Library  Summer on the Island  The Bookstore on the Beach&nbsp.…

Decades passed, and after trying many times to find the frog, scientists declared the species extinct.

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Rather than explain the power of recognition in a typical business book, acclaimed CEO David Novak wrote a fun story that draws on his real-world experiences at Pepsi and Yum! Brands, as well as his personal life. When was the last time you told your colleagues how much you value them? It sounds like a trivial thing in the middle of a busy work day. But as Novak discovered during his years as a hard charging executive, there's nothing trivial about recognition. It can make a life-or-death difference to any organization, when people see that someone important really notices and appreciates their contributions.   The story of O Great One! opens when Jeff Johnson becomes the third-generation CEO of his family business, after the sudden death of his father. The Happy Face Toy Company had many hits in the 1950s and 60s, including Crazy Paste, but its results have been declining for more than a decade. The board has given Jeff just one year to turn the business around, or else they'll have to sell it to the highest bidder.   As Jeff races to save his family's legacy by getting the company back on track, he meets downtrodden factory workers and an uninspired executive team. Then a birthday gift from his grandson gives Jeff an important insight into why Happy Face lost its culture of innovation and excitement, along with its profitability. He comes up with an idea that seems crazy. But is it crazy enough to work?    Whether you're trying to lead a small department, a Fortune 500 company, a non-profit, or your own family, the story and lessons of O Great One! can help you make everyone around you happier and more effective.…
