Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Inequality at the Starting Gate is a new EPI study of the learning gap between rich and poor children when they enter kindergarten. This study, by two education experts from the University of Michigan, analyzes U.S. Education Department data on 16,000 kindergartners nationwide, showing the direct link between student achievement gaps and socioeconomic status. The report finds that impoverished children lag behind their peers in reading and math skills even before they start school. It shows how a lack of resources and opportunities can cause lasting academic damage to some children, underscoring the need for earlier and more comprehensive efforts to prepare children to succeed in school."--Http://www.lights.com/cgi-bin/epi/shop/shop.cgi.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Billy Peterson rode racehorses for nine years as a professional jockey, becoming the number one quarter horse jockey in the United States of America. After retiring, he became a financial advisor and is a five-time member of Raymond James Chairman’s Council. He was also named to Barron’s list of top advisors in the United States and has been selected to America’s Best-in-State financial advisors by Forbes six times. In short, the author knows all about winning, and it’s a lot easier to outpace your peers when you are prepared from the starting gate. In this book, a follow-up to Harnessing Your Wealth — The Pursuit of Millionaire Status, you’ll learn how to: • create wealth – and just as important – sustain it; • cultivate habits that will promote good health; • avoid faulty medical advice; • learn how to manifest miracles. While the concept of miracles is fantasy to most people, the author shares numerous examples of how they have made a difference in his life and in the lives of others. By drawing on his broad array of experience as both a jockey and financial expert, he reveals how to enjoy the benefit of miracles at a greater frequency by connecting to the universe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Crippled at the Starting Gate, Robert Leslie Fisher argues that the United States needs an education bill, much like the G.I. Bill passed after World War II, to send more Americans to graduate school in the sciences and engineering. Equally important, the graduate schools need to change their culture not only to recruit more women, African-Americans, and Latinos into science, but to promote them to senior faculty positions. Accomplishing these changes in university science and engineering departments will be challenging since the institutions have a strong propensity to recruit white males similar to the overwhelmingly white male senior faculty. In Making Science Fair (2007), Fisher urged new productivity metrics to assure that more women can advance in science. Now Fisher urges ending burdensome educational practices including requiring women and foreign graduate students to teach under-graduates, which adversely affects both the graduate students and the undergraduates.

Book excerpt: THE STARTING GATE is a fast-paced novel written to show the convergence of Biblical prophecy and current events as we rapidly move to the end of time. The novel highlights the lives of several people leading up to the start of what is referred to in the book of Revelation as the seven-year time of tribulation.Throughout the time-line of the "THE STARTING GATE" some people will try to ignore what is taking place throughout the world, some will give up, some will fall deeper into sin, and some will find the salvation experience.THE STARTING GATE is a novel written through the eyes of a number of different people. Everyone of us looks at the same events differently. Our different backgrounds and travels through life often determines how we see what lays ahead.The Starting Gate is a novel based upon the journey and stories of a few of those people.The time is upon us now. Current events are leading rapidly to the fall of the United States. Is the current administration deliberately moving the United States to an economic collapse? Is the collapse imminent? Are we going to see every value we have as a nation crash and burn?The events that are written in The Starting Gate are based on the author's interpretation of the times as shown in Bible prophecy. The United States is the most powerful nation in the world at the time of this writing, but nowhere in scripture is the United States shown as being a major player in the end-time Biblical events.

Book excerpt: The #1 New York Times bestseller that has all America talking—with a new afterword on expanding your range—as seen on CNN's Fareed Zakaria GPS, Morning Joe, CBS This Morning, and more. “The most important business—and parenting—book of the year.” —Forbes “Urgent and important. . . an essential read for bosses, parents, coaches, and anyone who cares about improving performance.” —Daniel H. Pink Shortlisted for the Financial Times/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award Plenty of experts argue that anyone who wants to develop a skill, play an instrument, or lead their field should start early, focus intensely, and rack up as many hours of deliberate practice as possible. If you dabble or delay, you’ll never catch up to the people who got a head start. But a closer look at research on the world’s top performers, from professional athletes to Nobel laureates, shows that early specialization is the exception, not the rule. David Epstein examined the world’s most successful athletes, artists, musicians, inventors, forecasters and scientists. He discovered that in most fields—especially those that are complex and unpredictable—generalists, not specialists, are primed to excel. Generalists often find their path late, and they juggle many interests rather than focusing on one. They’re also more creative, more agile, and able to make connections their more specialized peers can’t see. Provocative, rigorous, and engrossing, Range makes a compelling case for actively cultivating inefficiency. Failing a test is the best way to learn. Frequent quitters end up with the most fulfilling careers. The most impactful inventors cross domains rather than deepening their knowledge in a single area. As experts silo themselves further while computers master more of the skills once reserved for highly focused humans, people who think broadly and embrace diverse experiences and perspectives will increasingly thrive.

Book excerpt: The captivating, bestselling Spirit Gate swept readers into the turbulent world of the Hundred, where the peace and order of life under the protection of the immortal Guardians has given way to chaos and violence. In the face of a vast horde of marauders led by a rogue Guardian, the bravery and resourcefulness of a lone eagle-reeve and others who risk their lives for the common good have prevented death and destruction from overwhelming the Hundred. Now in Shadow Gate, the enthralling sequel, the source of corruption of the Guardians is still a mystery to the mortals who fight to withstand the forces that have turned against them. And when three new Guardians emerge, a struggle begins among the immortals, with nothing less at stake than the future of the land and its gods. With all the color, excitement, and narrative power that have made Kate Elliott an enormously popular writer, Shadow Gate weaves a powerful spell of action, romance, and magic that will entrance legions of readers.
