Author(s): Eric Greitens
Publisher: Mariner Books
Number of Pages: 352
Meet my heroEric Greitens His life and this book remind us that America remains the land of the brave and generous Tom Brokaw
Like many young idealists Eric Greitens wanted to make a difference so he traveled to the worlds trouble spots to work in refugee camps and serve the sick and the poor Yet when innocent civilians were threatened with harm there was nothing he could do but step in afterward and try to ease the suffering In studying humanitarianism he realized a fundamental truth: when an army invades the weak need protection So he joined the Navy SEALs and became one of the worlds elite warriors
Greitens led his men through the unforgettable soul-testing of SEAL training and went on to deployments in Kenya Afghanistan and Iraq where he faced harrowing encounters and brutal attacks Yet even in the deadliest combat situations the lessons of his humanitarian work bore fruit At the heart of this powerful story lies a paradox: sometimes you have to be strong to do good but you also have to do good to be strong The heart and the fist together are more powerful than either one alone
If you're restless or itching for some calling you can't name read this book Give it to your son and daughter The Heart and the Fist epitomizes as does Mr Greitens's life present and future all that is best in this country and what we need desperately right now Steven Pressfield author of Gates of Fire

Author(s): Chris Smith
Publisher: The Education Project Asia
Number of Pages: 321
This eBook is written for educators and parents who have an interest in mobile learning and especially in the use of Apple's iPad tablet It is not a "How-to" manual but a resource for enabling more informed decisions regarding the use of mobile technology in learning and teaching
It is a sharing of Chris Smith's own experiences and also his own iPad and some of the six hundred Apps installed most are related to teaching and learning some are productivity tools some communication a few to support his own life-style and a very few that are just plain silly
With over half a million Apps in the Apps Store this selection is a very small percentage and the list is guaranteed to have missed some that may be your own individual favourites especially when considering individual curriculum subject areas
The eBook was born from the idea that he wanted to share some of the Apps collected that have a relevance to teaching and learning Its evolved into much more than anticipated
It is clear though that the main goal in compiling this book is the hope of saving teachers and parents time when searching for suitable Apps or strategies to use in this challenging and throughly exciting period of time
