Penguin Books - Edward De Bono - Simplicity
We are all drowning in complexity. Hardly anyone uses more than a tenth of the features on our video-recorders. Legislation constantly introduces qualifications and amendments which keep lawyers in business at everybody else's expense. And an old woman in Holland recently spent a week in a shopping mall - she just couldn't find the way out. Yet although we all yearn for more simplicity, it seems astonishingly difficult to simplify our lives. Here, with characteristic directness, Edward de Bono demonstrates how it can be done.

The Awakening by Kate Chopin Kate Chopin's novel,
The Awakening is the famous tale of Edna Pontellier, who leaves her family, commits adultery, and begins to rediscover her true self--as an artist.
Good book when you prepare for a cultural section of any lesson at the given level. Students enjoy it. The teacher's factsheets and answers are added to the end of the file. New York is the city that never sleeps. Read about the people, events works and culture that make this city one of the greatest in the world.
"Chromosome 6" is a
science thriller about some scientists in Africa that are using cloning to
create subhuman monkeys using bonobos so that their body parts can harvested
for the specific human who is matched with the animal, and about a medical examiner
named Jack Stapleton who discovers at the morgue in New York City while working
that something strange is going on. He notices during an autopsy that a man had
had a liver transplant but for some reason he has trouble finding out where and
when and also the man didn't need anti - immunity drugs, in other words the
body did not try to reject the liver. Jack digs deep to find the answer and the
two plots finally connect. I felt I was educated as I read the book, it was very well detailed with
scientific and medical information, but not boring, book keeps a good pace. An exciting read.
