Defying the Crowd by Robert J. Sternberg,Todd I. Lubart Pdf
World renowned psychologist Robert Sternberg presents a fresh and compelling picture of the creative process from the inception of an idea to its ultimate success. With illuminating examples, Sternberg reveals the paths we all can take to become more creative and shows how institutions can learn to foster creativity. “What is creative is new and often brings about positive change. But what is new is also strange, and what is strange can be scary, even threatening—which is why ‘they’ don’t want to hear it. But they are unwise not to listen, for the creative person with original ideas is the one who, with support, will advance and improve the milieu to the benefit of all.” —from Defying the Crowd
The mask-faced raccoon skitters about at night searching for food. Facts on habitat, food, life cycle, and threats describe how these nocturnal mammals thrive and survive right in our own backyards!

Renovate Your Relationships by Scott Vaudrey, MD Pdf
Doctor-turned-pastor Scott Vaudrey shows readers how to have stronger, more meaningful relationships by mastering the balance between building bridges and setting boundaries. We all have people in our lives who are difficult--a demanding boss, an annoying neighbor, a manipulative family member, or a controlling spouse. When you reach a point where something must change in that troubling relationship, how do you narrow the gap between where things are and where you want them to be? In Renovate Your Relationships, Scott Vaudrey draws on his experience as both an emergency-room physician and a pastor to reveal how we can diagnose the problems in our specific relationships and then master the balance between building bridges toward people and setting boundaries with them. Using real-life stories, illuminating dialogues, and ground-breaking practical tools, he unearths the root cause of our relational breakdowns and helps us make changes that enable us to move forward with a new, more productive pattern of relating.
From the bestselling author of Crow Planet, a compelling journey into the secret lives of the wild animals at our back door. In THE URBAN BESTIARY, acclaimed nature writer Lyanda Lynn Haupt journeys into the heart of the everyday wild, where coyotes, raccoons, chickens, hawks, and humans live in closer proximity than ever before. Haupt's observations bring compelling new questions to light: Whose "home" is this? Where does the wild end and the city begin? And what difference does it make to us as humans living our everyday lives? In this wholly original blend of science, story, myth, and memoir, Haupt draws us into the secret world of the wild creatures that dwell among us in our urban neighborhoods, whether we are aware of them or not. With beautiful illustrations and practical sidebars on everything from animal tracking to opossum removal, THE URBAN BESTIARY is a lyrical book that awakens wonder, delight, and respect for the urban wild, and our place within it.

Coyote Tales is about a coyote and his coat. Coyote looks like any other coyote at first sight. His coat is fur on the outside, but it turns into a different coat when need be. This coat has many pockets with all the answers to any questions you might have, and that is where the adventure begins. In Coyote Tales, Coyote meets Little Warrior, not yet six winters old, who couldn't find his parents. Then he meets Ophelia, an octopus that has found herself out of the ocean and in a place she has never been. She has many experiences. And lastly, Coyote meets his old friend Raccoon who also lives in the woods. They take a trip to town and get into all kinds of trouble. Fortunately, Coyote has his other coat, and they all find answers there. Coyote is a jokester, and he brings about balance of wisdom and folly. Writing Coyote Tales was one of the best experiences of my life. I thank God for them as I know he had a very big hand in the writing of them. I hope they bring laughter and joy to all who read them.

The Love and Power of God by Maria Luisa Jimenez Edwards Pdf
As a child, Maria Luisa Jimenez Edwards wanted to be a missionary. It held an indescribable allure for her, an intrinsic pull that was aching to spread the Good News of Jesus. In the pages of this book, join her as she embarks on a personal and spiritually-challenging journey to the jungles of Ecuador. It is virtually impossible to describe a missionary life meaningfully to someone who has never experienced it. She wants to encourage readers to find their own paths to follow God as others, in the midst of utmost poverty, have found. As she wrote these stories she was inspired and challenged anew. Years of participation in the western lifestyle has weakened a passionate faith in a God of power and miracles. From the story of a village of destitute women who dropped everything to come to the aid of a grandmother dying of cancer, to the family who already had seven children but chose to accept an orphan, you will also be inspired by the faith of those who rely on God alone. You will see opportunities to be a part of the miracle if you open your eyes to Gods vision. The Love and Power of God proves that His Word conquers all, bringing people together to arm themselves with unconditional love, achieving wonders for themselves, their families and communities.
