How to Gesture Your Way into Better Speaking
Want to remember new words—or new ideas—faster and more completely? Your hands are the key to memory. A study published in Current Biology (Mayer et al., 2015) found that people who used gestures while learning a new language remembered vocabulary far better than those who only listened or watched. The researchers taught participants a made-up ...

| A beautifully written book, and a fascinating set of insights into the mysterious (to me) island of Madagascar. Gimlette is an extraordinarily talented writer with a rare gift for the arresting metaphor. The Gardens of Mars had the odd effect, unlike ...more | |

| A classic British mystery from the golden age, with a twist -- this one is about the poorer classes who live around and on the Thames. This mystery is surprisingly gritty and slice-of-life. The mystery is not too challenging, and won't puzzle you for ...more | |

In the Time of Five Pumpkins (No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency #26)
by Alexander McCall Smith (Goodreads Author) |
|
| This was a gentle outing for the Number 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency; there’s not much of a mystery and certainly not the usual three tales intertwining to keep things moving along. But there is insight into character, and human wisdom along the way to ...more | |

| Viv makes friends wherever she goes, and leaves — if not broken — warm hearts behind each stop. It’s a good formula for an orc and bounty hunter. This backstory didn’t grab me quite as much as the first, but I’m along for the ride. | |

| I'm a sucker for a reformed-killer-orc-turned-café-owner-falls-in-love-with-a-succubus story. Who wouldn't be? This is delicious, if not terribly complicated, and the characters all have backstories and reasons to say little. Lots of strong silent ty ...more | |

| Katherine Rundell is a wonderful new addition to the YA universe. Her books are fast-paced, richly evocative, and emotionally compelling all while keeping the story line clear and simple. My only complaint with this one is that Anya is a bit less con ...more | |

“I’ve come to think that flourishing consists of putting yourself in situations in which you lose self-consciousness and become fused with other people, experiences, or tasks. It happens sometimes when you are lost in a hard challenge, or when an artist or a craftsman becomes one with the brush or the tool. It happens sometimes while you’re playing sports, or listening to music or lost in a story, or to some people when they feel enveloped by God’s love. And it happens most when we connect with other people. I’ve come to think that happiness isn’t really produced by conscious accomplishments. Happiness is a measure of how thickly the unconscious parts of our minds are intertwined with other people and with activities. Happiness is determined by how much information and affection flows through us covertly every day and year.”
