| Charles Darwin University Bookshop There are some new books in our shop: No Easy Day In No Easy Day, the author Mark Owen takes readers onto the field of battle in America’s ongoing War on Terror and details of the selection and training process in the military. Mark Owen honors the men risking everything for the country. Dropping Acid Dropping Acid is the first book to offer a nontraditional diet to help cure reflux(反酸). Using her extensive research, Dr. Koufman explains why a change in diet can reduce some of the most common symptoms. Her recipes use tasty fats as flavorings and include a variety of dishes that prove living with reflux doesn’t mean living without delicious food. Almost Home Almost Home tells the stories of six remarkable young people from across the United States and Canada as they face life alone on the streets, and offers practical insights into how to prevent homelessness and help homeless youth move to a hopeful future. All the stories inspire us with victories of the human spirit. Some money from the sale of each book will help support kids who benefit from Covenant House’s shelter and services. Daring Greatly In Daring Greatly, Dr. Brown questions everything traditional about vulnerability. Based on twelve years of research, she argues that vulnerability is not weakness, but rather our clearest path to courage, engagement, and meaningful connection. Daring Greatly will spark a new spirit of truth and trust in our organizations, families, schools and communities. |
