If you are a mentor, wish to be mentored, or are seeking to be the
very best version of yourself, then this book is for you. It cuts
across the generations in the form of a handy, easy to read guide
to surviving and sometimes winning at life. Using the game of
snakes and ladders as a constant theme and analogy, each chapter
covers many of the challenges and dilemmas that we all face on a
daily basis. Andrew encourages you to take everything on with full
consciousness and gives practical advice, tips, examples and
experiences from his life and career as well as sharing others'
stories too. This also includes the opportunity to learn from some
of the mistakes he's made over the years, which he bravely and
honestly shares throughout. At the end of every chapter, you will
find a bullet point summary of ladders to climb, helping you secure
quick wins, as well as the snakes - i.e. pitfalls - to avoid. This
means you can take away what you feel is most relevant to you in a
quick "grab" style format. This book is one that will get you
questioning why things happen and how you can influence the game of
life much more that you realise. Ultimately, you'll learn how to
get the best possible outcome for you as you roll the dice and make
your next move.
This book describes more than 300 of the finest celestial wonders that can be viewed with common "backyard" telescopes. The author uses an abbreviated descriptive form to accommodate as much information on observation as possible for both field and armchair use. In addition to the many showpieces themselves, nearly 24 other special objects are listed. The author also points out that many of these deep-sky objects are visible to the unaided eye on a dark, clear night and prove wonderful sights in binoculars and low-power telescopes. The sun, moon, and planets in the Earth's solar system, as well as such brighter asteroids as Ceres, Juno, and Vesta, are described and their positions given, as are open star clusters, diffuse nebulas, supernova remnants, spiral galaxies, elliptical galaxies, the milky way, and a host of other astronomical phenomena. Unabridged republication of a book first published by the author in 1998.
