Una maeana brillante, una tortuguita verde tomaba el sol en la superficie de Turtle Cove, donde habea llegado la noche anterior. Nacie de un nido en una costa a cientos de millas de distancia y ha pasado los primeros seis aeos de su vida nadando en el oceano. Aque, en Turtle Cove, conoce a los habitantes: una sabia tortuga anciana, Kato y otras criaturas marinas. Admira las caracteresticas enicas de un pulpo y una estrella de mar, y desearea poder nadar con un cardumen de peces. Observa las gaviotas y las golondrinas de mar volando libremente por encima y comienza a cuestionar su identidad.


Makana es un Regalo es la historia de la besqueda de una joven tortuga marina para comprender su propesito enico, quien y por que es, mientras espera que le den su nombre. Una maeana, mientras tiene hambre para desayunar, confunde una bolsa de plestico con una medusa, la muerde como hacen muchas tortugas marinas y debe buscar ayuda para sobrevivir esta experiencia demasiado comen y potencialmente mortal.


Al final, entiende que todas las criaturas son necesarias para ayudarse y cuidarse unas a otras; el tambien tiene un propesito enico y esencial; que la vida es un regalo, y el tambien. En Hawaiano, Makana significa regalo, y por eso recibe su nombre.


Se incluye una guea de discusien y actividades y recursos. Los nieos aprenderen sobre los comienzos biolegicos de la vida de una tortuga marina, ase como su antiguo legado, significado y simbolismo, y la importancia de su proteccien ecolegica. Edades 4 8.


One bright morning a little green sea turtle basks on the surface of Turtle Cove, where he arrived the night before. He hatched from a nest on a shore hundreds of miles away, and has spent the first six years of his life swimming through the ocean. Here in Turtle Cove he meets the inhabitants-a wise elder turtle, Kato, and other sea creatures. He admires the unique features of an octopus and starfish, and wishes he could swim with a school of fish. He observes the gulls and terns flying freely overhead, and begins to question his identity.


Makana is a Gift is the story of a young sea turtle's quest to understand his unique purpose, who and why he is, while waiting to be given his name. One morning while hungry for breakfast, he mistakes a plastic bag for a jellyfish, takes a bite as many sea turtles do, and must seek help to survive this too common, life-threatening experience.


In the end, he understands that all creatures are needed to help and care for each other; he too has a unique and essential purpose; that life is a gift, and so is he. In Hawaiian, Makana means gift, and thus he receives his name.


A "Discussion & Activities Guide" and "Resources" are included. Children will learn about the biological beginnings of a sea turtle's life as well as their ancient legacy, their significance and symbolism, and the importance of their ecological protection. Watercolor illustrations are vibrant and life-like. Ages 4 8.

Essential reading for PowerPoint presenters.
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Cliff shows details how to improve our PowerPoint presentations. He gives concrete and simple steps to transform a message into a targeted presentation. All of us have suffered from presenters who went over their allotted time because they had vital information to give us, yet we still didn't know their main point. Many have seen slide decks burdened with dozens of bullet points. Did the volume of points yield more clarity or did they dull our ability to focus on the message? Probably not. Read Cliff's book. Follow his method and you'll be a more effective presenter.

Useful with some scientific corroboration
Format: Paperback
Worth it as a primer to slide content and how it inter-relates to the delivery when giving a presentation. Very slightly laboured, like most TV documentaries nowadays - you feel they could move a bit faster (...yeah we got it the first time).

Simple and streamlined to meet anyone's needs
Format: Paperback
This book rocks! It provide a simple and structured way to define, develop and deliver a "Kick Ass" presentation that you can project or just use from the podium. It bring the audio and visual together to compliment a story to be shared. It has taken the hassel factor out of designing a presentation for anyone on any subject. Thank you!

Lasting value but degraded presentation
Format: Paperback
I've been a BBP fan since the first edition in 2005. The second edition in 2007 was a significant update and refinement. The latest, 2011 edition, is not worth buying if you already have the second edition -- the information is essentially the same but the 2011 is printed on cheap paper and the contrast between text and background for most of the illustrations is lousy, e.g. black text on a dark grey background, white text on a light grey background. I found it very difficult to read. The online version (O'Reilly Safari Books OnLine) is slightly better because it allows you to magnify the low contrast images which makes them slightly more legible. Thankfully, access to the online version is included with the ink-on-paper book free via a scratch-off, lottery ticket-type insert at the back of the book. If I had to do it again, I'd skip the paper book from Amazon and just purchase electronic access via O'Reilly. This version is more legible and you can print important pages that you might want hard copies of to highlight, mark-up, etc.

Powerful for the presenter
Format: Paperback
My boss's boss recently told me that our organization's presentations are boring data dumps that make her wish she was somewhere other than there listening but not really hearing or caring about this slide and dreading the next. She suggested that since I was going to be doing a lot of presentations in the future I should avoid that method and do better presentations. I immediately sought advice from our best presenter and learned that his method came from his gut feelings about what worked better. He has good instincts but to codify what he explained I decided to buy a book to learn why his approach works. The closest book with an effective explanation I could find is "beyond bullet points". It captured and expanded on the instinct my new mentor explained so that I could now understand how to use the slides to supplement the story and how to interweave the data so the whole presentation is more meaningful and memorable. I recommend this book to anyone looking for more of an answer on how to improve their presentations and eliminate the data dump in bullet points.
