______________________________ THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER FROM THE
45th PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES 'I like thinking big. I always
have. To me it's very simple: If you're going to be thinking
anyway, you might as well think big.' - Donald J. Trump Here is
Trump in action - how he runs his business and how he runs his life
- as he meets the people he needs to meet, chats with family and
friends, clashes with enemies, and changes the face of the New York
City skyline. But even a maverick plays by the rules, and Trump has
formulated eleven guidelines for success. He isolates the common
elements in his greatest deals; he shatters myths; he names names,
spells out the zeros, and fully reveals the deal-maker's art. And
throughout, Trump talks - really talks - about how he does it.
Trump: The Art of the Deal is an unguarded look at the mind of a
brilliant entrepreneur and an unprecedented education in the
practice of deal-making. It's the most streetwise business book
there is - and the ultimate read for anyone interested in making
money and achieving success, and knowing the man behind the
spotlight.

Climate change is the biggest threat to the fertility of mammals
across the globe through its potential effects on heat stress,
nutrition security, extreme weather events, vulnerable shelter, and
population migration. Climatic variables, such as temperature and
humidity, are common environmental stressors as well as nutritional
stress, which reduces fertility. Besides climate and nutritional
stressors, another major factor responsible for reduced fertility
discovered within the past decade is the exposure to potential
hazardous substances such as chemical, radiation, physical,
biological, and occupational hazards. This exposure includes
anything from heavy metals and gases to pathogens and toxins and
any substance that interferes with natural biological functions of
the exposed workers, pregnant and breast-feeding workers, and young
working population. There also must be research focused on
developmental hazards that alter the structure and function of the
developing embryo as well. The different climatic factors in the
era of climate change need to be explored to discuss the impacts on
fertility. Climate Change and Its Impact on Fertility highlights
the issues and concerns that address the latest impact of climate
change and mitigation strategies for enhancing early embryo
survival and uterine potential. This book covers the effects of
climate change on both the biological parents and the embryo by
discussing the negative impacts, providing an overview of the
variety of climate changes currently affecting fertility, and
exploring possible solutions. This book is ideally intended for
medical scientists and doctors, reproductive biologists,
experimental toxicologists, mammalian cell biologists, clinicians,
embryologists, health and safety agencies/regulatory authorities,
public health officials, and policymakers along with practitioners,
stakeholders, researchers, academicians, and students interested in
climate change and its link to embryo growth, developmental risk,
implantation failure, and fertility.
Most parents do a pretty good job of raising kids, says
psychologist Laurence Steinberg, but truly effective parenting
means not just relying on natural instincts but also on knowing
what works and why. In "The Ten Basic Principles of Good Parenting,
" Dr. Steinberg distills decades of research into a parenting book
that explains the fundamentals of raising happy, healthy children,
giving readers an invaluable map to help them navigate parenthood
from infancy to adolescence.
Dr. Steinberg found that the basic principles for effective
parenting are simple and universal, and apply to all parents and
children regardless of background. He explains each principle and
shows how to put it into action, using anecdotes and examples: from
"What You Do Matters" (parents make an enormous difference;
children are not simply the product of their genes) to "Establish
Rules and Limits" (how to provide structure in your child's life,
and how to handle conflicts over rules) and "Help Foster Your
Child's Independence" (help your child think through decisions
instead of making them for him or her). Concise and authoritative,
written with warmth and compassion, "The Ten Basic Principles of
Good Parenting" is an intelligent guide to raising a happy, healthy
child and to becoming a happier, more confident parent in the
process.
