2-Second Commute: Join the Exploding Ranks of Freelance Virtual Assistants $1.99 Virtual Assistants work from home, providing everything from administrative support to high-end consulting via email, phone and fax. Predicted to be a $130 billion industry by 2008, they don’t commute, they set their own hours, and they get to spend time with their kids. Wouldn’t you like to be a VA, too? Christine Durst founded the Virtual Assistant industry in 1995 from a basement office in rural Connecticut. Michael Haaren, an ex-Wall Street attorney (who grew up in a log cabin), was one of her clients. Together they launched Staffcentrix, a leading VA training company, and the International Virtual Assistants Association, built the first Portable Career/Virtual Assistant Training Program for the Armed Forces, presented at the United Nations, and transformed the Virtual Assistant movement into a global phenomenon. Drawing on years of experience training and mentoring Virtual Assistants around the world, Chris and Mike take the mystery out of home-based virtual careers, and help you avoid the common pitfalls, too. In The 2-Second Commute, you’ll learn how to: • Market the skills you already have • Overcome shyness to get the work you want • Launch your VA business on a shoestring • Use the business to strengthen your family • And much more! The 2-Second Commute’s self-assessment exercises will help you decide whether the VA path is a good fit for you, or if you need to acquire new skills before setting out. Interviews with successful VAs, VA clients, and telework industry experts will help you find good clients and projects ASAP (and avoid bad ones), and leverage your first assignment toward a foundationof consistent cashflow that meets your financial and work-life goals. Along the way, you’ll meet people who will support and inspire you to do what you, too, may have often longed to do – bid farewell to the rat race, earn a respectable income, and spend more time with your |

Blueprint Small: Creative Ways to Live with Less $10.99 When it comes to deciding on the size of a home or living space, one question must be asked: How much space is enough? Americans often relate “enough” space to dimensions, rather than to how a space will really be enjoyed. In Blueprint Small, Michelle Kodis examines small spaces (each 1500 square feet or less) from a wide spectrum of locations, budgets, and individual styles-each chosen because they illustrate that scaling back in size doesn’t have to mean scaling back in comfort, spaciousness, or beauty.From a sleek urban apartment to a funky mountain home to a renovated beach house, Blueprint Small reveals how smaller homes invite rather than overwhelm, comfort rather than alienate. The projects offered here represent a variety of functions, locations and environments, combining the technical aspects of building and using small spaces with the stories of the people who live in them. Blueprint Small invites you to explore inspiring and imaginative ways to inhabit smaller spaces, and still live large. Michelle Kodis is a freelance writer and editor based in Telluride, Colorado. She is the author of Love Scents and The Telluride Cookbook; she has also written for The San Francisco Examiner, The Oregonian, and Backpacker magazine. |

Ecoarchitecture: The Work of Ken Yeang $50.53 Ken Yeang is internationally recognised as the leading proponent of ecological design in architecture. In 2008, he was tipped by The Guardian to be one of the ’50 people who could save the planet’. He has built over 200 buildings globally and published numerous books advocating an environmentally responsive approach to design. He is probably best known as the inventor of the green skyscraper; it was his innovative idea to incorporate bioclimatic features in a high-density building type. It is for this and his ecological urban design that he has gained a uniquely influential position within architecture. Though he has authored many books about his work and his ideas, this is the first definitive book to cover his forty-year career.Featuring 22 of Yeang’s most significant projects, EcoArchitecture begins with his earliest work on environmental design, executed as a student at the Architectural Association and then a Phd student at Cambridge in the early 1970s, and with his most recent projects with Llewelyn Davies Yeang in London and TRHY in Kuala Lumpur. A preface by Lord Foster and an introductory essay by Professor John Frazer provide the full context of Yeang’s thinking. The main text by contributing editor of Architectural Record, Sara Hart, and lecturer and freelance author, David Littlefield, provide some critical reflection on the development of his work. |

Hands-on Faith: 66 Projects,Activities,and Crafts for Children $17.95 Hands-On Faith builds on the well-proved truth that children learn best by doing. In this case, author Mary Doerfler Dall offers a large collection of projects, activities, and crafts to help children in grades two through six really take to heart their lessons of faith. Organized by chapter themes, Hands-On Faith is a perfect book to supplement any religious education program with children, offering cutout materials for lessons involving prayer, liturgy, the Bible, Catholic legends and lore, holy days and church seasons, as well as a host of other new and old appropriate themes. Each of the activities is self-contained with more than one suggestion for adapting and extending it for individual and classroom use. These projects require a minimum of supplies.

Hands-On Faith is perfect for classroom use, but also is a great work-along tool for parents who wish to impart lessons of faith to their children in fun ways that kids are bound to love.
