The EPP method: 3 Super simple steps to build and retain essential vocabulary for adults/ by Cavallaro, Michael, MA, AC.;

Build a solid English vocabulary and retain what you learn using this revolutionary 3-step method. Do you want to improve your English vocabulary? Is English not your first language? Are you tired of failing to remember new words despite repetitional learning? English is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, finding its use within academic, legal, corporate, government, and a multitude of other institutions. The Oxford Dictionary lists 250,000 distinct words in the English language, and native speakers are typically known to have a vocabulary size of 25,000 to 30,000 words. However, if you are a non-native speaker, this number may be significantly low - about 2,000 to 3,000 words. This limitation can directly affect your academics and work and can even hold you back from expressing yourself clearly, especially when you plan to study or work in a predominantly English-speaking country. But learning new words and improving the command over this language is not as easy as it seems. Most resort to rote learning, which builds no foundations, and most of what is learned starts to fade away with time. So, what's the solution? An easy-to-follow process that breaks down language learning into a naturally efficient and thematic format. All you have to do is practice, and you'll start seeing the results fast! And the best part? Anyone can use this method to improve their vocabulary!

When the brain can't hear : unraveling the mystery of auditory processing disorder / by Bellis, Teri James,author.(CARDINAL)633962;

The many faces of APD -- Learning, language, and auditory processing -- APD in children -- APD in adults -- Diagnosing APD -- Treating APD -- Living with APD"In this landmark book, Dr. Teri James Bellis, one of the world's leading authorities on auditory processing disorder (APD), explains the nature of this devastating condition and provides insightful case studies that illustrate its effect on the lives of its sufferers. Millions of Americans struggle silently with APD. For many of them, holding a simple conversation can be next to impossible. As sound travels through an imperfect auditory pathway, words become jumbled, distorted, and unintelligible. As Dr. Bellis notes, the most profound impact of this highly specific impediment to auditory comprehension may be on the young. Facing a severely reduced ability to read, spell, comprehend, and communicate, children with APD are subject to anxiety, academic failure, and a damaged sense of self. Often, they are misdiagnosed. Discussing the latest and most promising clinical advances and treatment options, and providing a host of proven strategies for coping, Dr. Bellis takes much of the mystery out of APD. If you or anyone you know has difficulty comprehending spoken language, or if your child is struggling in school, this important book may have the answers you need." --Treatise on Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) and how it affects the lives of those afflicted with it.

Transcendence : how humans evolved through fire, language, beauty, and time / by Vince, Gaia,author.(CARDINAL)812991;

Includes bibliographical references and index.Genesis: Conception -- Birth -- Fire: Landscaping -- Brain building -- Cultural levers -- Word: Story -- Language -- Telling -- Beauty: Belonging -- Trinkets and treasures -- Builders -- Time: Timekeepers -- Reason -- Homni.What enabled us to go from simple stone tools to smartphones? How did bands of hunter-gatherers evolve into multinational empires? Readers of Sapiens will say a cognitive revolution -- a dramatic evolutionary change that altered our brains, turning primitive humans into modern ones -- caused a cultural explosion. In Transcendence, Gaia Vince argues instead that modern humans are the product of a nuanced coevolution of our genes, environment, and culture that goes back into deep time. She explains how, through four key elements -- fire, language, beauty, and time -- our species diverged from the evolutionary path of all other animals, unleashing a compounding process that launched us into the Space Age and beyond. Provocative and poetic, Transcendence shows how a primate took dominion over nature and turned itself into something marvelous.
