The Apple Slice: My life as a teacher and other musings...
ISBN: 9781478189138 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Apples have become symbolic of the teaching profession. You have probably all seen a stock photo of a teacher's desk. The work surface of the desk is mostly empty with the exception of a pen and a perfectly sharpened pencil. A neat little stack of books is situated in the corner. Sitting on top of the books is a flawless, shiny green apple that gives off a celestial glow. This is not reality. In twenty-first century schools, students do not give shiny green apples to their teachers. A student once left an apple core on my desk after lunch once, but that was both accidental and unwanted. A...

Metro Talk
ISBN: 9780982700167 / Angielski / Miękka / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Metro Talk" was borne from my daily experiences while commuting on the public transportation system in the Washington-Metropolitan area. Each day I would enter the Metro system and some of the sights, sounds and yes, smells would make me laugh, shake my head and even cringe, so I began sharing such encounters on Social Media, hence the name "Metro Talk." There were also times when I experienced extended periods of illness and unemployment, and used the public transportation system to commute to and from doctor's appointments and job interviews. During those periods of pain and despair, I...

When author Rex John says "life is funny," he should know -- and these 34 short stories from his own life prove it.

It's one thing to "get the giggles," but the author took the giggles to a new level when he was introduced to a certain famous person for the first time. Some people enjoy the great outdoors, but this author certainly doesn't -- and who...

The Irritable Working Woman's Cookbook
ISBN: 9780987281616 / Angielski / Miękka / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Why is this cookbook different from all other cookbooks? Because it is aimed at the one overlooked population in our global community - irritable working women. They cook, but on occasion without the customary good grace implied in most cookbooks. There are cookbooks for nail-biting newlyweds, raising your children to win the Nobel Prize, for religious purists, vegetarians and vegans. But these worthy tomes fail to address the humour of the people who have to do the work. The Irritable Working Woman's Cookbook offers a fresh approach to a sometimes stale topic. Here are recipes for women who...
