Barbara Greenwood studied at the University of Toronto. The reams of research "left-over" from her first two books was used in A Pioneer Story, an award-winning book which mixes fact, fiction, and hands-on activities as it delves into Ontario's past. The stories she creates are those she would have liked to read at age ten or twelve or fourteen. The information gleaned from her research becomes grist for the background details and settings of novels which emphasize character development and the human side of history. Now she immerses herself in the subject: reading old diaries, journals, and letters, visiting museums, doing in-depth research at libraries, visiting the areas where her books are set. When she was young she couldn't find novels about Canada's past. Inspired by her own early fascination with historical tales, author Barbara Greenwood specializes in writing historical fiction and biographies for children and young people.

1st break all the rules7/5/2023 The managers who ultimately became the focus of Gallup’s research were invariably those who excelled at turning each employee’s talent into performance. Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman of the Gallup Organization present the remarkable findings of their massive in-depth study of great managers across a wide variety of situations. They consistently disregard the golden rule. They do not try to help people overcome their weaknesses. They do not believe that, with enough training, a person can achieve anything he sets his mind to. Yet despite their differences, great managers share one common trait: They do not hesitate to break virtually every rule held sacred by conventional wisdom. They differ in their demographics and employ vastly different styles and focus on different goals. The greatest managers in the world seem to have little in common. FIRST, BREAK ALL THE RULES: What the World’s Greatest Managers Do Differently! (Marcus Buckingham & Curt Coffman)įirst, Break All the Rules: What the World’s Greatest Managers Do Differently (1999) authored by Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman, presents the remarkable findings of its revolutionary study of more than 80,000 managers, revealing what sets them apart.

Conquering Gaul allowed Rome to secure the natural border of the river Rhine. Native tribes in the region, both Gallic and Germanic, had attacked Rome several times. Still, Gaul was of significant military importance to the Romans. Caesar portrayed the invasion as being a preemptive and defensive action, but historians agree that he fought the Wars primarily to boost his political career and to pay off his debts. Gallic chieftain Vercingetorix's attempt to unite the Gauls under a single banner came too late. Though the Gallic military was as strong as the Romans, the Gallic tribes' internal divisions eased victory for Caesar. The Wars culminated in the decisive Battle of Alesia in 52 BC, in which a complete Roman victory resulted in the expansion of the Roman Republic over the whole of Gaul. Gallic, Germanic, and British tribes fought to defend their homelands against an aggressive Roman campaign. The Gallic Wars were waged between 58 and 50 BC by the Roman general Julius Caesar against the peoples of Gaul (present-day France, Belgium, Germany and Switzerland).

Reckless book sc stephens7/4/2023 The sheets wrapped around us were the finest linens I'd ever slept in, but their luxuriousness paled in comparison to the man beside me. Soft lips touched my shoulder, and I snuggled further into the body seeking my solace. And even more miraculously, he felt the same. It was the feeling bursting apart my chest-the overwhelming sensation that I'd been cleaved in two at birth, and, miraculously, I'd managed to find my other half. And really, a formal ceremony and a piece of paper wasn't what made a marriage. A soul-filled pledge of undying devotion was enough for us right now. A cool ring of hard metal dug into my skin as he held me in his firm grasp and I smiled wider, fingering the matching band on the ring finger of my hand. The hand was warm and soft, and clasped mine, cinching tight. Smiling, I stretched my tight limbs and placed my palm over the wandering fingers. I was stirred from sleep by a hand running up my thigh.
