Truly valuable resource and well structured survival book! The book was a gift for my boyfriend for Christmas, and he absolutely loves it. It was excellently wrapped and in perfect condition when we received it. It's very interesting to flip through, and makes a valuable addition to our bookcase/go bags. We hike all over the Northwest, and we always bring this book with us. The book consists of five parts- general information, major medical problems, Minor medical problems, disorders related to specific environments, and miscellaneous information. The book is very well written and structured. Some of the more detailed aspects of the book include allergic reactions, emergency childbirth, amputation crisis, head injuries, infectious diseases, respiratory and inner organ disorders, tornado, hurricane, flood and other natural disaster emergencies, hazardous aquatic life, wild plants & animals, water purification and much much more. It also has tons of diagrams and examples for clarification for some of use who are more visual learners. The book is small enough to easily be put into any SHTF backpack. It measures right under an inch as you can see in the photos. This is definitely an essential source for survival and staying healthy in the outdoors; wherever your travels will take you this book has something you can benefit from! You won't regret it!A "must have" resource for ALL first aid practioners This is an excellent resource for wilderness first aid (or anytime EMS will take a long time to arrive). It even includes information on medications and some relatively advanced procedures that can be done in the field.Good for home use only After reading raving reviews about this manual I decided to buy it. My current guide has become well used and needs to be updated. I've been fishing, hunting, camping and backpacking for over forty years and found the title to be misleading. After spending some time with this book it should have been titled "Medicine For The Home". I've found this manual to be overkill for the "outdoorsman's" needs. It's way too complex and lacks easy to follow photo's (there are only crude drawings) In the outdoors you may be hiking, camping, fishing, or hunting, you don't have a MASH unit on hand for equipment. You only have the essential's. So an easy to follow, comprehensive manual that covers the basics for outdoor activities is needed. I would strongly recommend the "ACEP First Aid Manual 5th Edition: The Step-by-Step Guide for Everyone (Dk First Aid Manual)." It's easier to understand and use, and utilizes text understandable to the everyday person along with real photo's showing how to treat and dress all types of cuts, abrasions, bites, burns, position broken limbs, along with all the usual outdoor nuisances, poison ivy, poison oak, etc. Don't misunderstand me, this is a great manual, and I'm keeping it for home use, but not when I'm outdoors where supplies are limited and quick reference to treatment is required. Although it's a good medical handbook, it's titled wrong.

Beyond The Scoreboard Pdf

ISBN: 1733492909
Title: Beyond The Scoreboard Pdf Learn It Through Youth Sports, Carry It Through Life
“Whether you are a parent, an elite athlete, or an adult with a professional career, the information and tools presented in Beyond the Scoreboard are invaluable.” Tina Cervasio FOX 5 NY Lead Sports Anchor/Reporter, Host of “Sports Xtra”“Dr. Nick covers all of the bases in Beyond the Scoreboard. Dr. Nick has provided a roadmap which will help parents avoid making the wrong turns.”Bob PapaVoice of the NY Giants and The Golf ChannelIn sports, isn’t it more important that the player focuses on developing their physical skills? If the physical game is good, then the mental game will be good, right? And if the athlete possesses confidence, isn’t that all they need for a strong mental game anyway? The answer is a definitive “no” to the previous commonly asked questions. Focusing on the physical game or assuming confidence is all a player needs are not the answers for success. The mental game impacts the physical game at every turn¬¬¬¬; the mental drives the physical, not the other way around. A positive mental game sets the player up for emotional and physical growth—predecessors to enjoyment and longevity in sports. And the truth is, many parents and coaches fall short in effectively developing a youth’s mental game.But let’s face it, youth sports take up a considerable amount of time and money for most families. There isn’t enough time or extra funds to hire that mental coach or sport psychologist. And most programs don’t have money in the budget to hire a sport psychologist to aid the coaches. So, how do parents and coaches learn to correctly navigate a player’s mental game? And how do they do it without stretching themselves and their kids with respect to scheduling, emotions, or finances? Beyond the Scoreboard is the answer: the tool at the ready to help parents and coaches navigate the all-important mental game. Dr. Nick has worked with athletes at all levels, including countless collegiate, professional, and Olympic athletes, to help them develop a strong mental game. And the one thing he never focuses on is confidence. Find out why and what you should be focusing on in Beyond the Scoreboard: an all-encompassing, ‘how to’ guide for parents and coaches. It doesn’t matter if your child is a superstar on the field or is the worst player on the team, this book is for you. Your child deserves the critical tools to succeed in sports and life. Don’t put off parenting or coaching a child toward success. Read this book today!

48 Laws of Power Pdf

ISBN: B00X0TKUS0
Title: 48 Laws of Power Pdf

Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this piercing work distills 3,000 years of the history of power into 48 well-explicated laws. This bold volume outlines the laws of power in their unvarnished essence, synthesizing the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, Carl von Clausewitz, and other infamous strategists. The 48 Laws of Power will fascinate any listener interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control.

Know Thy Enemy The best offense is a good defense.The world is full of people, all of us filled with desires, dreams, wants, needs, jealousy and a sometimes uncontrollable drive to secure, for ourselves, all that we deem necessary to feel safe and in control. Everyone wants to win. Everyone wants that house on the hill, enough of everything they need and even more of everything they want. After desire is met, many of us also want to give to those who have less.Most of us begin with the best of intentions, some get lost along the way. Deceit, treachery and ruthlessness emerge as the competition heats up. All bets are off, morality becomes optional and the ends justify the means.The 48 Laws of Power is what you get if The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli and The SocioPath Next Door by Martha Stout were merged into one. It is the other teams playbook - the schemes, the thoughts, the reasoning, the strategy and, most importantly, the mindset of those who strive to get ahead by stepping on you and me.In football, teams spend countless hours studying their opponent, understanding what they do in various situations, their tendencies, weaknesses, strengths and character. The more they know about them the better they are able to prepare. It enables them to create game plans, plays, personnel changes and play calling specifically targeted at the other teams weaknesses. They build an offense that is fully prepared to counter everything the other team might present. If the other teams plays dirty, is overly aggressive, has a particular strength that seems unbeatable, a good game plan can provide the slightest of edges that can end in victory.This is also true in life and in work. Especially work. It is in business that we all start at the bottom and stare up the funnel - the positions are fewer as we rise, while the benefits, salary and prestige increase - and we feel pitted against our peers in gaining a coveted position at the next level.Some of us can take this competition in stride. We believe that doing our best will merit promotion. That our talent alone should speak for or worthiness of advancement. Honest competition, you against me, and let the best win.Others believe in adding an additional element to the mix. They believe that talent will get you only so far. They believe that they must prevent you from doing your best in order to win the day - that their best is not good enough or does not provide the sense of certainty they desire. They want to crush the "enemy" and secure what is "theirs."We have all worked with these people. We all know these people. They often live among us, invisible to the naked eye, revealed only when the battle is on, when they turn their backs or leave us out in the cold when we need them most.I learned about these people in college in a Political Science Seminar populated by some very ambitious Pre-Law students and assorted other scoundrels. This was a great class, great teacher, great discussions and a wonderful rapport among the students. My eyes were opened near the end of the semester. This particular teacher had a rule of only giving out a set number of A's and B's, the rest of the class would receive C's or lower. The instructor pitted us against each other, we would be graded based on the rubric he provided and in comparison to our classmates. He would rank our papers and distribute grades accordingly. For a group of kids looking to get into law school the possibility of getting a C was unbearable. Then the fit hit the shan!We were to write an extensive research paper using original source documents and primary resources. The limited number of materials available in our library suddenly began to "disappear." Promised rides to other library's vanished. It was a feeding frenzy, every one worked alone, kept to themselves, trusted np one and looked over their shoulder at all times.It was ugly!As a simple kid from a small town, I was heart broken. I had never witnessed that level of mean, self-serving behavior before. I reacted with hurt, anger, disillusionment and animosity toward the teacher and my peers.While I still don't like the method, reading The 48 Laws of Power has helped me understand what was going on and why. People are complicated. When we get pushed against the wall, when we feel that our ability to thrive is being threatened or see our desires within our reach, we sometimes resort to behaviors we would never consider at any other time. We do things that we look back on with tremendous remorse, regret and confusion. "How could I have done that!"But we cannot control what others will or won't do. What get's us in trouble, turns us into victims, is when we assume others are using the same playbook we are. In thinking they share our values, ethics, morality and sense of obligation to be a good person. When we do this we become somebody's prey. We need a good defense. We need to understand that there are people out there waiting to prey upon our trust and vulnerability.There are also those with weak character who will fail us when we need them most. It is not their intention, they are simply unclear on their values and make decision out of fear.So, I recommend reading The 48 Laws of Power. I do not suggest that it be used as a guide for conducting your business or relationships. The historical events and persons described in the book are some of the most shameless and heartless people to have ever lived. These are the bad people. This book teaches you how they think, how low they will go (lower than you can conceive) and helps you be aware of the evil that lurks in the hearts of us all. Like the football team it helps us create a game plan for our lives that is driven by our values, seeks the best in people, but is also vigilant in defending against the worst.
