Educator and neuroscientist Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath reveals why digital tools in school consistently undermine learning--and what parents, teachers, and schools can do to push back with purpose.

Our children are struggling.

Schools, once alive with human connection, are now dominated by screens and digital tools. The result is unmistakable: declining performance, fractured attention, and the slow erosion of rigorous thought. For the first time in recent history, children are falling behind previous generations on many key measures of cognitive development.

In The Digital Delusion, neuroscientist and educator Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath reveals how the widespread use of laptops, tablets, and classroom software is undermining how children learn and develop. Drawing on decades of research, he provides practical tools for families to reassess device use at home, equips educators with the means to restore attention-rich learning environments, and helps schools make smarter decisions about technology. He exposes and dismantles the central myths driving the EdTech movement and lays out a clear path for putting people--not programs--back at the center of education. This is not a call to reject technology.

It's a call to reclaim real learning.

A one-of-a-kind novel that grapples with the supernatural mysteries of life, death and human connection--an unprecedented collaboration between the globally acclaimed author of bestselling love stories like The Notebook and the renowned writer and director of blockbuster thrillers like The Sixth Sense.

When New York architect Tate Donovan arrives in Cape Cod to design his best friend's summer home, he is hoping to make a fresh start. Recently discharged from an upscale psychiatric facility where he was treated for acute depression, he is still wrestling with the pain of losing his beloved sister. Sylvia's deathbed revelation--that she can see spirits who are still tethered to the living world, a gift that runs in their family--sits uneasily with Tate, who struggles to believe in more than what reason can explain. But when he takes up residence at a historic bed-and-breakfast on the Cape, he encounters a beautiful young woman named Wren who will challenge every assumption he has about his logical and controlled world.

Tate and Wren find themselves forging an immediate connection, one that neither has ever experienced before. But Tate gradually discovers that below the surface of Wren's idyllic small-town life, hatred, jealousy and greed are festering, threatening their fragile relationship just as it begins to blossom. Tate realizes that in order to free Wren from an increasingly desperate fate, he will need to unearth the truth about her past before time runs out . . . a quest that will make him doubt whether we can ever believe the stories we tell about ourselves, and the laws that govern our existence. Love--while transformative--can sometimes be frightening.

A story about the power of transcendent emotion, Remain asks us all: Can love set us free not only from our greatest sorrows, but even from the boundaries of life and death?

Nach ihren ersten zwei Wochen als neuer CEO von DecisionTech fragte sich Kathryn Petersen angesichts der dortigen Probleme, ob es wirklich richtig gewesen war, den Job anzunehmen. Sie war eigentlich froh über die neue Aufgabe gewesen. Doch hatte sie nicht ahnen können, dass ihr Team so fürchterlich dysfunktional war und die Teammitglieder sie vor eine Herausforderung stellen würden, die sie niemals zuvor so erlebt hatte ...

In "Die 5 Dyfunktionen eines Teams" begibt sich Patrick Lencioni in die faszinierende und komplexe Welt von Teams. In seiner Leadership-Fabel folgt der Leser der Geschichte von Kathryn Petersen, die sich mit der ultimativen Führungskrise konfrontiert sieht: die Einigung eines Teams, das sich in einer solchen Unordnung befindet, dass es den Erfolg und das Überleben des gesamten Unternehmens gefährdet.
Im Verlauf der Geschichte enthüllt Lencioni die fünf entscheidenden Dysfunktionen, die oft dazu führen, dass Teams scheitern. Er stellt ein Modell und umsetzbare Schritte vor, die zu einem effektiven Team führen und die fünf Dysfunktionen beheben. Diese Dysfunktionen sind:
- Fehlendes Vertrauen,
- Scheu vor Konflikten,
- Fehlendes Engagement,
- Scheu vor Verantwortung,
- Fehlende Ergebnis-Orientierung.

Wie in seinen anderen Büchern hat Patrick Lencioni eine fesselnde Fabel geschrieben, die eine wichtige Botschaft für alle enthält, die danach streben, außergewöhnliche Teamleiter und Führungskräfte zu werden.

There is so much more to grief than just stages. Grief is an awkward, painful, and chaotic journey through an emotional, spiritual, psychological, physical, and intellectual roller coaster that can take us to places within our interior that we didn't know even existed. So often we feel lost, not only from trying to cope with the loss of a loved one, abilities, or lifestyle but struggle to find the best way to maneuver through all the side effects, complications and emotional turmoil inside the grief journey.

Grieving with God offers a spiritual pathway through the journey of grief by exploring those moments that erupt during the grief experience and how to work through them by offering helpful advice, insight, wisdom, and interventions that are meant to bring comfort. The deeper hope is your recovery from the pain of loss through God's grace and God's word and that you experience the fullness of healing through God's compassion and love.

If you don't believe in God, this book may not be for you. But then and again, the topics addressing issues that arise during grief might be helpful and a source of comfort to you in a humanistic way. For those of you who are not sure about where God is in your grief journey, or you are mad at God and question why God took your loved one or why you are lost, you are offered a different perspective. For those of you who believe in a compassionate and loving God, you will find comfort in these pages. At the end of each chapter, a verse in Scripture is provided, offering God's own handwritten assurance that God is present and is with you every step of the way.

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11)

Hope looked up at Gus, his fingers linked with hers as he smiled down at her. The wind whipped at her hair, cool against her skin, but all she cared about was the man standing in front of her. 'I choose you, Hope, ' he whispered. 'A thousand times over, I choose you.'

London, Present day: Mia clutches the last remaining box found at Hope's House in her hands. For months she has been determined to reunite every box with its rightful owner. But now it's time for her to discover Hope's own heartbreaking story.

France 1938: When Hope meets Gus in the lively streets of Paris, she finally feels that she has met her kindred spirit. But as they plan their dream future together it is clear that Gus's father will never allow their romance to develop. Defying his wishes, Gus promises Hope that they will be together after his army training.

But with France on the brink of war, Hope travels back to London for safety, cradling a life-changing secret. Then devastating news arrives which threatens Hope's future and shatters her heart. In the darkest days of war, will Hope find the courage to give others the chance of a brighter future? And will her own story of strength inspire Mia to follow her heart?

The utterly gorgeous and heartbreaking final novel in the Lost Daughters series will leave you spellbound and is the perfect read for fans of Santa Montefiore, Lucinda Riley and Victoria Hislop.

What if everything we think we know about America's health crisis is wrong?

Hidden in government data lies a shocking discovery: childhood trauma is responsible for 1,401 American deaths every single day-more than tobacco, accidents, or stroke. Among the 11.4 million Americans who experienced severe childhood trauma, every one will die 24 years too soon. Nearly 90% of teen suicide attempts trace back to adverse childhood experiences. And this epidemic costs America $14 trillion annually-roughly 60% of our entire GDP.

We've been counting the bodies wrong. When someone with severe childhood trauma dies of a heart attack at 55 instead of 75, we record it as heart disease. When they overdose, it's addiction. When they take their own life, it's suicide. But these aren't separate epidemics-they're symptoms of the same hidden crisis that's been destroying lives for generations.

Michael J. Menard knows this crisis firsthand. Growing up one of fourteen children in a 900-square-foot home below the poverty line, he watched childhood trauma ripple through his family-claiming two brothers to addiction and leaving invisible wounds across generations. Yet from these origins, Menard rose to become a world-renowned inventor with fourteen patents, advising NASA and the United Nations, and serving as Vice President of Worldwide Engineering at Johnson & Johnson.

Greater Than Gravity isn't just another trauma book. It's a meticulously researched exposé that connects dots no one else has connected-revealing how childhood trauma alters brain development, ravages the immune system, and creates cascading destruction across mental, physical, spiritual, and social dimensions of life. Menard brings his engineer's mind to humanity's greatest unaddressed public health crisis, transforming cold statistics into compelling human stories while offering concrete pathways to healing.

With endorsements from leading trauma experts including Dr. Glenn Schiraldi, this groundbreaking work serves three audiences: survivors seeking hope and healing, loved ones who want to understand, and anyone ready to join a movement to end this epidemic.

The numbers are irrefutable. The suffering is real. The time for action is now.

The Drive Within is a raw and insightful exploration of the primal instincts that shape the behavior, performance, and loyalty of working dogs. Written by a seasoned K-9 handler and law enforcement officer, this book bridges the gap between training and emotional connection, revealing what truly drives a dog to serve, protect, and follow.

Through real-life deployments, field-tested philosophies, and a deep understanding of canine psychology, the author unpacks key instinctual forces-prey, defense, pack, play, and more-and shows how these natural drives can be harnessed with respect, purpose, and leadership.

Far more than a training manual, The Drive Within is a story of trust, resilience, and the silent bond forged between handler and dog. Whether you're a new police dog's handler, an officer, or simply someone who loves and respects dogs, this book will change the way you see them, forever.

The second mystery following Ali Dawson, the brilliant time-traveling detective, on her newest foray into Victorian London

Detective Ali Dawson leads a unit that investigates cases so cold her team must travel back in time to solve them. But ever since their technical expert, Jones, got stuck in Victorian London, Ali and her team have been forbidden from time travel.

At a loss, Ali dives into a present-day case - an apparent suicide of a young man who fell to his death from a high building. Ali believes the death is linked to a bad-news psychic medium, Barry Power, who convinced the boy he could fly. Suspicious, Ali attends one of Power's shows, where he claims to be in contact with none other than Jones.

Minor trouble closer to home inspires Ali to sneak back in time just long enough to prevent misfortune. Her plan backfires, and she finds herself once again in Victorian London, where she reencounters Jones, as well as the darkly mysterious Cain Templeton, with whom Ali has unfinished business from her previous visit to the nineteenth century . . .

When she spies Barry Power lurking in the past, Ali knows she's onto something. But with a potential murderer operating in multiple centuries, how on earth is she supposed to protect everyone at risk?

It's a different time. It's a dangerous time. It's the killing time.

New York Times bestselling author Jeffery Deaver returns with a propulsive new thriller featuring forensic criminalist Lincoln Rhyme and detective Amelia Sachs (from The Bone Collector) as they investigate a series of arsons in New York City.

When a harrowing arson in Manhattan burns a building to the ground, Rhyme and Sachs are called to investigate, only to discover in the rubble a package of clues that teases where the perp will strike next. Rhyme and Sachs work feverishly to unravel the mystery, turning to an unlikely source for help: one of the nation's most popular history podcasters. Along the way they cross paths with Desdemona Vale, a determined detective from Long Island who is in search of the killer of a young woman from her neighborhood.

As Rhyme's team digs into both cases, it becomes increasingly clear that their suspect's plot might be more complicated than they initially thought. But can Rhyme and Sachs unpack his vile scheme, and stop the carnage in time?

An exploration of the spiritual journey as a path of love, where the heart's discontent becomes the doorway to ultimate fulfillment.

Although the heart seeks fulfillment in people, possessions, and experiences, no external love can truly satisfy our deepest longing. Our discontent is an opportunity, a sacred invitation to turn inward. True fulfillment arises only when we empty our hearts to make space for the formless and intangible inner Beloved that is our true nature.

In The Inner Beloved, A. H. Almaas guides us on a transformative journey of the heart. With poetic insight, personal reflection, and practical exercises, he shows how the search for love leads us through emptiness and into a luminous darkness--a place where the mind is confounded, but the heart awakens to a passionate love for the unknown. As we surrender to this mystery and discover the unity of lover and Beloved, we feel a complete intimacy with the fundamental truth of reality, allowing us to rest in the deepest fulfillment possible.

This beloved New York Times bestseller pays tribute to the love that blossoms when expecting and welcoming a new baby, from celebrated Indigenous creators, author Tasha Spillett and Caldecott Medalist Michaela Goade.​

As she waits for the arrival of her new baby, a mother-to-be gathers gifts to create a sacred bundle. A white feather, cedar and sage, a stone from the river...

Each addition to the bundle will offer the new baby strength and connection to tradition, family, and community. As they grow together, mother and baby will each have gifts to offer each other.

Tasha Spillett and Michaela Goade, two Indigenous creators, bring beautiful words and luminous art together in a resonant celebration of the bond between mother and child.

A one-of-a-kind guide that reveals the accessibility, affordability, community, and unique adventures that urban waters offer.

While city dwellers often turn to hiking, biking, or simply enjoying a local park as healthy pastimes that don't come with high costs or distant travel, one rewarding pursuit remains largely untapped in urban environments: fly fishing. For over a thousand years, fly fishing has been more than a method of harvesting food; it's a source of immense joy, a pathway to understanding nature intimately, and a tradition that connects us to water and wildlife. But why should this enriching experience be confined to remote waters and rural landscapes? Why can't we cast a line right in the heart of our cities?

This book shatters the stigmas and preconceptions--elitism, exclusivity, and notions of purity--that have kept fly fishing from thriving in urban settings, revealing how the sport is truly accessible to all. It introduces angling knowledge within the unique ecosystems that cities offer, ecosystems that have evolved dramatically over the past 150 years. More than just a how-to, The Guide to Urban Fly-Fishing provides the tools, resources, and diverse stories to help us discover the vibrant community and joy of urban fly fishing. It's also about joining a broader ecological movement that's redefining how we live, relate, and recreate in our cities.

This book answers both the why and how questions of urban fly fishing. Why fish in your city? Because of the accessibility, affordability, community, and unique adventures that urban waters offer. A fishing rod transforms city landscapes into engaging playgrounds, turning anglers from mere observers into active participants. Why fly fishing in particular? This method of fishing is highly versatile and effective for the diverse ecosystems found in urban areas. This book serves as the first comprehensive urban guide for those new to fly fishing in general, as well as for anglers who have yet to explore urban waters. It's filled with practical insights, tips, and uplifting stories from experienced urban anglers from several cities, including Los Angeles, Denver, Minneapolis, Boston, New York City, and Columbus. It provides readers with the resources and inspiration to explore their city's waters, overcome challenges, and discover personal rewards and a sense of community.
