From Australia's Dr Happy, this is a guidebook to the power of becoming a bit more lost – to getting out of our own heads and going off the beaten track. Dr Tim Sharp has been researching, writing and speaking about happiness for decades, as one of Australia's leaders of the positive psychology movement. But in recent years, he's realised that maybe he's been a bit more lost than he wanted to admit. And that might actually be a good thing. A large and growing body of research highlights the value of getting 'lost' to improve our resilience and our mental health. That could mean literally wandering outdoors in nature or letting our minds do the wandering by sitting with negative thoughts and unpleasant emotions, rather than constantly trying to fight or push them away. Packed with psychological insights, practical tips and personal stories from Tim's life, Lost and Found is a new kind of self-help book that invites all of you to the table: the bad and the good, your failures and your successes, challenges and breakthroughs. By sitting with discomfort, we allow ourselves to become more authentic and vulnerable – and by becoming lost, we find our true selves.
New York Times bestselling author and former NFL defensive end Tim Green delivers baseball tales with sports action and emotional heart that will keep kids on the edge of their seats. This collection contains three bestselling novels in the series. Pinch Hit: Trevor and Sam look alike. But their lives couldn't be more different. Trevor is a movie star, living the Hollywood life in a huge mansion with his own limo, pool, and bowling alley. There's nothing he doesn't have except the one thing he wants most: to play baseball for real. Sam is a regular kid who seems to have what it takes to make it to baseball's Major Leagues. He's determined to get the scouts at the big USC tournament to recognize his talent. When Sam signs up at Casting Central to make some extra money, he and Trevor come together on a movie set and see the chance to trade places—to pinch hit for each other and make everyone's dreams come true. Force Out: Joey and Zach have always been best friends. They're also two of the best baseball players in their league, and shoo-ins for the all-star team at the end of the season. Their dream is to play together on the Center State select team, and they will do anything to help each other get there. Then the boys learn there's only one open spot on the select team. Suddenly Joey and Zach go from being best friends to biggest rivals, and Joey has to decide his next move. He can play the biggest game of his life, or he can use a secret they share to force Zach out. How far should Joey go to win? New Kid: Tommy's the new kid in town—who now goes by the name Brock—and he's having a hard time fitting in. Thanks to a prank gone wrong, he may be able to settle in on the baseball team. But can he prove himself before he becomes a new kid . . . again?

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics there are more than 3 million Australians over the age of 65, and this number is only going to grow (in fact it's the fastest growing demographic in Australia). Thanks to compulsory superannuation many of these older Australians are relatively well prepared financially. However few, if any, are adequately prepared psychologically! The good news is that many older Australians are well educated and keen to take the initiative in looking after themselves and keeping fit and healthy so as to continue living a full and rich life. In Live Happier Live Longer Dr Sharp focuses on the key things people can do to increase their happiness and wellbeing as they get older, from emphasizing the importance of positive thinking and the benefits of physical activity, sleep and relaxation to the practical benefits of continuing to strive towards motivating goals. With loneliness a major issue amongst the elderly, he also provides tips on keeping in contact with family and friends, as well as making new friendships. This is the perfect book for anyone over 50 who wants to live a long and happy life.

The first comprehensive history of Canadians in WWI in forty years, and already hailed as the definitive work on Canadians in the Great War, At the Sharp End covers the harrowing early battles of 1914—16. Tens of thousands, and then hundreds of thousands, died before the generals and soldiers found a way to break the terrible stalemate of the front. Based on eyewitness accounts detailed in the letters of ordinary soldiers, Cook describes the horrible struggle, first to survive in battle, and then to drive the Germans back. At the Sharp End provides both an intimate look at the Canadian men in the trenches and an authoritative account of the slow evolution in tactics, weapons, and advancement. Featuring never-before-published photographs, letters, diaries, and maps, this recounting of the Great War through the soldiers' eyes is moving, engaging, and thoroughly engrossing.

Lisl Ponger beschäftigt sich seit vielen Jahren mit der Konstruiertheit von (kultureller) Identität, den – oft stereotypen – Vorstellungen und Wahrnehmungen des „Anderen“ und damit verbundenen Fragen bildlicher Repräsentation. Ein bevorzugter Gegenstand ihrer künstlerischen Auseinandersetzung sind die Disziplinen der Ethnologie und Anthropologie, deren Methoden und Politiken in der Sammlungs- und Ausstellungspraxis ethnologischer Museen anschaulich werden.0Im Hauptraum der Secession realisiert Ponger ein lange gehegtes Vorhaben: das Museum für fremde und vertraute Kulturen, kurz MuKul. In diesem Entwurf für ein eigenes (ethnologisches) Museum kulminieren ihre künstlerischen Interessen. Wenngleich fiktiv, basiert die Inszenierung des Museums auf akribischen Recherchen und genauen Beobachtungen. Es ist fast verstörend detailgetreu an reale Völkerkundemuseen angelehnt, die heute zunehmend Namen wie Weltmuseum oder Museum der Kulturen u. Ä. tragen. Nicht nur weisen die Sammlungsobjekte Inventarnummer sowie Ankaufsort und -jahr auf, das Museum verfügt auch über Objektbeschriftungen, Saaltexte und Tafeln mit den Namen aller Mitarbeiter- Innen und LeihgeberInnen, und im Foyer befindet sich einer der aktuell populären Fotopoints, vor dem sich BesucherInnen in Szene setzen können.0Exhibition: Vereinigung bildender Künstlerinnen Wiener Secession, Vienna, Austria (13.2.-30.3.2014).
