Title: My Family and Other Animals (Macmillan Collector's Library) Pdf

Gerald Durrell - naturalist, author, media personality, conservationist and founder of the internationally renowned Jersey Zoo. He was a passionate and persuasive advocate of the need for the conservation of animals and plants and their habitats. A larger than life character, he was a brilliant story-teller in speech and in print.

The inspiration behind hit family drama The Durrells.

Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition features an afterword by Peter Olney, former Keeper of Birds at the London Zoo, and a distinguished ornithologist who was awarded the Zoological Society of London's Silver Medal in 2003.

My Family and Other Animals is Gerald Durrell's hilarious account of five years in his childhood spent living with his family on the island of Corfu. With snakes, scorpions, toads, owls and geckos competing for space with one bookworm brother and another who's gun-mad, as well as an obsessive sister, young Gerald has an awful lot of natural history to observe. This richly detailed, informative and riotously funny memoir of eccentric family life is a twentieth-century classic.

Bogged down in description I must admit, I only made it to page 35 but soon realized I was in company with people I didn't much like. The mother was likable, the others not so much with the mean-spirited Larry especially, who is super critical & voices his unpleasant opinion freely. The descriptions were a bit over-done, getting lost in all the adjectives and big words rather than what the folks were experiencing. I really didn't take to it, didn't like the characters, didn't like the tiny book with the tiny print & all in all, did not have a great experience. I figure by page 35, if I don't like the people & get tired of the over-done descriptions, I may as well put it down & find something else. I see other reviewers being trashed for having negative opinions about this book which I think unfair, unkind & unnecessary.Wonderful This was a wonderful book about a slightly eccentric English family that moves to a Greek Island. It is told by the youngest son. He is a naturalist, so much of the book is about the animals, bugs, and birds he encounters, as well as his family and neighbors. I don't usually like overly descriptive books, I prefer a little background and then get to the point, However, his descriptions are amazing and you can see what he is seeing. I can understand why many people were disappointed in the films based on the books, because I don't see how video could possibly capture the whole feeling of the book. I heartily recommend it.As Entertaining As The PBS Version, Yet Quite A Bit Different So It Makes Fresh Reading. Originally published in 1955, this is part of a group of books of that period that celebrated odd characters and an alternative childhood to the sterile conservative world of 1950s America and of course included "Auntie Mame", "Life With Father", and "Cheaper By The Dozen". LIke the others, although decades later, this first book of the "Corfu Trilogy" is now a British/PBS TV cooperative venture.While serving as much of the source for the TV show, this book alone still manages to be as different from the TV show as it is from the reality depicted in Haag's biography of the Durrell family "The Durrells In Corfu", which I bought along with "My Family And Other Animals". The writing is not great---apparently Gerry Durrell never went to school after the last effort, forced on him at age 9 or so, but it has a certain British sense of humor that is engaging. I enjoyed reading it, and am finding the biography just as entertaining.One can only wonder what might have happened if formal education and better discipline had played a greater role in the Durrell family's upbringing, but as they are all dead, and we are left with the rather fanciful story of their life on this enchanted island, in the sunset of it's pre-tourist idyll, we can only sit back and go along for the ride and it's a fun ride.

A pragmatic (and adventure filled) approach to amplify and align bodies, minds and hearts I read this book over the New Year-Now week and it is excellent. Lots of wonderful ideas. I love the holistic approach! I am seeing my integrative MD tomorrow and getting her read on the testing you recommended. I love the simple steps and the boldness mixed in. Looking so forward to the work ahead! LOVED the Thaddeus Golas reference in the book and your "expansion" of his idea ;)....sometimes we should be contracting to tidy up and make room for growth.You can make the change Great book to read if you want to change your life to the better of course... Easy to read and extremely helpful. I strongly suggest. Ben did a great job writing this book, thank you and hopefully this book will change your life.A Roadmap to a More Fulfilling Life This book continually reinforces how connected the Mind and Body really are. And more importantly, how enhancing both Mind and Body is ESSENTIAL in reaching the desired outcomes we have for our lives, efficiently and effectively.I love that the book is laid out like a roadmap of strategies I can apply immediately to boost my personal journey to success.I can pick and choose which strategies to try. His personal stories and expert interviews make it easy for me to decide which strategy I'd like to try first.I have no doubt that applying just a couple of these examples will get you some positive results. Applying multiple strategies at once might be like adding rocket fuel to your personal success journey.I was so excited over all the new suggestions to try that I needed to take a little break from reading to integrate all the new information. So, I thought I'd use this time to write a review because more people need to know about the help that's available to them to start living a more fulfilling life.If that's you (or someone you know), get this book NOW! I know it has something in it that can move you forward faster.Ok, my break is over. Now...back to reading Unstoppable.

Start with Why Pdf

ISBN: 1591846447
Title: Start with Why Pdf How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action
Author: Simon Sinek
Published Date: 2011
Page: 246

“Start with Why is one of the most useful and powerful books I have read in years. Simple and elegant, it shows us how leaders should lead.”-WILLIAM URY, coauthor of Getting to Yes “Start with Why fanned the flames inside me. This book can lead you to levels of excellence you never considered attainable.” -GENERAL CHUCK HORNER, air boss, Desert Storm  “Each story will force you to see things from an entirely different perspective. A perspective that is nothing short of the truth.”-MOKHTAR LAMANI, former ambassador, special envoy to Iraq SIMON SINEK, the bestselling author of LEADERS EAT LAST and TOGETHER IS BETTER, is an optimist who believes in a brighter future for humanity.  He teaches leaders and organizations how to inspire people and has presented his ideas around the world, from small startups to Fortune 50 corporations, from Hollywood to Congress to the Pentagon. His TED Talk based on START WITH WHY is the third most popular TED video of all time.  Learn more about his work and how you can inspire those around you at StartWithWhy.com.

The inspiring, life-changing bestseller by the author of LEADERS EAT LAST and TOGETHER IS BETTER.
 
In 2009, Simon Sinek started a movement to help people become more inspired at work, and in turn inspire their colleagues and customers. Since then, millions have been touched by the power of his ideas, including more than 28 million who’ve watched his TED Talk based on START WITH WHY -- the third most popular TED video of all time.
 
Sinek starts with a fundamental question: Why are some people and organizations more innovative, more influential, and more profitable than others? Why do some command greater loyalty from customers and employees alike? Even among the successful, why are so few able to repeat their success over and over?
 
People like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers had little in common, but they all started with WHY. They realized that people won't truly buy into a product, service, movement, or idea until they understand the WHY behind it. 
 
START WITH WHY shows that the leaders who've had the greatest influence in the world all think, act, and communicate the same way -- and it's the opposite of what everyone else does. Sinek calls this powerful idea The Golden Circle, and it provides a framework upon which organizations can be built, movements can be led, and people can be inspired. And it all starts with WHY.

Most repetitive book I've ever read I read this book 10 times. No, I didn't read it over and over. I just read it once and by doing that I read it 10 times. It's so repetitive that I actually stopped multiple times to check where I am in the book, thinking that I mistakenly flipped back to a previous chapter. I started to wonder if the author has amnesia and forgot that he explained why Apple is innovative for the 100th time. I gave it two stars because the underlying concept is a good one but you can save your time and just watch the TED talk.See the TED talk; save the money The author's TED talk is one of the most-viewed ever; and it's really quite good. In fact, it's so good that you don't need to read this book! He takes a very, very simple concept and expands, and expands, and repeats, and seemingly never edits, and then repeats, and expands, and -- well, you get the idea. The whole thing could've been done in 50 pages or less.Example: Yes, there's a difference between WHAT one does in business and WHY one does it. And sometimes they diverge. He calls this the "Split" and has a graphic and whole chapter on it. Really?? Not needed.Example: He mines the stories of Apple, Wal-Mart, Costco, Starbucks, Martin Luther King Jr, and a few others - over & over & over & over & over again. He makes elementary and generalized statements, such as saying that NONE of the 250,000 people who came to hear Dr. King in Washington came for him; no sir, they came for themselves because their "why" connected with his "why." Uh, no; many came for him and his message or to simply support civil rights.Example: He constantly repeats the words WHY and WHAT in CAPS ALL THE TIME so you'd get the message. And then again....and again.....Example: Yes, the Apple Computer story is inspiring. But among all that WHY stuff is also the story of a dreamer with incredibly bad people skills. To simply elevate the Apple story - and retell it umpteen times - is to vastly oversimplify what made them great back then and now, and why they succeeded in spite of the way Jobs treated his employees.It's almost as if the author had about 10 stories in his pocket and decided to use nothing else at all. He created the entire "start with WHY" mantra out of the 10 stories and never went beyond them to augment, embellish, or create more learnings.So save the money, see the TED talk, and take what he says there to heart. WHY is the basis for being motivated. But there's a whole lot more to say, and sadly, he never gets to it.Not worth one's time I read a lot. At least a few hours a day. This book was awful.Let's start with why. Sinek is an awfully repetitive and, frankly, unskilled writer. He lays out his thesis and then repeats it like a rower repeats his stroke. As he drags out the book to whatever number of words he needed to fulfill book contract, he re/illustrates his thesis with different examples. This would have made the book slightly more tolerable, except the examples are so ordinary and well known that they will put you to sleep. Apple, Disney, JFK, Hitler. Yawn. Even that might be fine if he had spent five minutes on Wikipedia to research less-known stories about them, but it doesn't look like he did.This book should have been a column in a weekend newspaper, or, at best, a chapter in another book about leadership. Not worth your time.
