The twenty-first century has seen so many advancements--in technology, research, healthcare and education. We are now more connected through technology than our ancestors have ever been, yet we are more isolated and lonely than our ancestors ever were. The ease with which things are available to us has led to a fast-paced lifestyle. That lifestyle, accompanied by a bad diet and lack of exercise, can sometimes lead to dysregulated thoughts. Awareness of this anomaly, acceptance to change and finally, embracing tools to regulate our feelings, are required to ensure we lead balanced lives that centre our thoughts and emotions. In Ancient Chants for Modern Times, Aatmanika Ram harnesses the wisdom of some of the ancient beliefs and practices of her Indian roots, and suggests tools to help overcome any stressful situations that may arise. These suggestions are global in nature and are easy to follow irrespective of where you live. Apart from information on mantras/chants, this book also inc

Perhaps you can solve the crime yourself. Join the Inspector as he interrogates all the unusual suspects. Then listen to the accompanying audio recording featuring Lemony Snicket and the music of Nathaniel Stookey performed by the San Francisco Symphony. Hear for yourself exactly what took place on that fateful, well-orchestrated evening.

《用美國人的方法學文法【超融入動詞篇】》修訂版 跟著母語人士的方法，自然而然用對英文文法！文法不是死知識，而是必須依情境選擇及調整的活用概念！在實際對話中「內化」文法概念，比死背文法公式更有用！跟著本書，每天1對話，練出同母語人士的自然文法感！在最真實的「外國實際生活情境對話」中，輕鬆熟悉「文法概念」與「動詞用法」的運用，以後不必想、不必背，只憑直覺就能自然用對、流利表達！◆許多人遇到需要用英文對話時，大腦常犯的問題：先想「主詞」「動詞」等→套用「文法、句型」→表達看似符合「文法規則」，卻是無法融入「情境」、讓人誤解的不自然表達！由於以往我們在學英文時，不論是教科書、學校老師所灌輸的教學方式，通常是「一個文法規則套用到所有對話情境」，且所做的「聽說讀寫練習」皆必須依照「課本上的文法」來練習。一旦不依照「課本上的文法」來表達，就會被視為「不符合文法」。看似符合文法的英文，卻常常造成與我們對話的英語母語人士一頭霧水、有聽卻沒有懂。◆ 英語母語人士要用英文「精準表達某動作、狀態」時，大腦習慣的做法：先釐清「情境」、「時態」、「語意」→把「文法要素」活用到「動詞」上→表達依「情境」、「時態」、「語意」、「動作或狀態」來使用文法，才能精準表達 母語人士在使用動詞時，會把文法觀念融入實際情境之中的，而非「及物動詞」「不及物動詞」「不可加ing」等一條一條的規則，因此他們不會先思考要用課本中哪一條文法規則，然後再來表達，而是「根據情境使用文法」。以 run 這個動詞來說，根據我們以往課堂上的學習，都認為 run 是「跑；奔跑」意義的不及物動詞，所以 run＋受詞都是錯的，但事實並非如此。母語人士會依不同的對話情境，來決定適合該單字（或表達）的文法。舉例來說：．當對話情境是「跑～英里的距離」此時可以將 run 用在 run 10 miles（跑10 英里）的運動意義上，後面有受詞10 miles：I run 10 miles each morning.（我每天跑10 英里）．當對話情境是「奔跑到某處」此時 run 要用在 run to（跑去～）這個前往某目的地的意義上：Where are you running to?（你要去哪裡？）．當對話情境是「管理」此時可以將 run 用在 run＋被管理的事物上，後面可以有受詞如the program、the company：Dr. Jen
