Tyler O’Neils belangrijkste voornemen deze Kerstmis? Er een groot feest van maken. Niet voor zichzelf, maar voor zijn dochter, Jess. Hij heeft trouwens zelf ook wat te vieren, want Snow Crystal, het ski-resort dat hij met zijn broers runt, is volgeboekt met de kerstdagen. Dat betekent dat Brenna, zijn beste vriendin, bij hem moet logeren, en hij mag absoluut niet laten merken dat hij meer dan alleen vriendschap voor haar voelt.
Ski-instructeur Brenna Daniels vindt dat ze het prima voor elkaar heeft. Ze heeft van haar hobby haar werk gemaakt én ze kan dagelijks samenwerken met Tyler, op wie ze al jaren verliefd is. Niet dat er ooit iets gebeurd is… Ze verwacht dan ook niet dat het problemen zal opleveren dat ze een paar weken een huis zullen delen.
Dan gebeurt er iets wat ze geen van beiden hadden verwacht: Tyler kust haar, en nu is alles anders…

SUMMARY: Most of us have no idea what's really going on inside our heads. Yet brain scientists have uncovered details every business leader, parent, and teacher should know--such as the brain's need for physical activity to work at its best. How do we learn? What exactly do sleep and stress do to our brains? Why is multi-tasking a myth? Why is it so easy to forget--and so important to repeat new information? Is it true that men and women have different brains? In Brain Rules, molecular biologist Dr. John Medina shares his lifelong interest in how the brain sciences might influence the way we teach our children and the way we work. In each chapter, he describes a brain rule--what scientists know for sure about how our brains work--and then offers transformative ideas for our daily lives. Medina's fascinating stories and sense of humor breathe life into brain science. You'll learn why Michael Jordan was no good at baseball. You'll peer over a surgeon's shoulder as he finds, to his surprise, that we have a Jennifer Aniston neuron. You'll meet a boy who has an amazing memory for music but can't tie his own shoes. You will discover how: - Every brain is wired differently - Exercise improves cognition - We are designed to never stop learning and exploring - Memories are volatile - Sleep is powerfully linked with the ability to learn - Vision trumps all of the other senses - Stress changes the way we learn In the end, you'll understand how your brain really works--and how to get the most out of it.

Mini Farming describes a holistic approach to small-area farming that will show you how to produce 85 percent of an average family's food on just a quarter acre—and earn $10,000 in cash annually while spending less than half the time that an ordinary job would require. Even if you have never been a farmer or a gardener, this book covers everything you need to know to get started: buying and saving seeds, starting seedlings, establishing raised beds, soil fertility practices, composting, pest and disease problems, crop rotation, farm planning, and much more. Because self-sufficiency is the objective, subjects such as raising backyard chickens and home canning are also covered. Materials, tools, and techniques are detailed with photographs, tables, diagrams, and illustrations.<
