Second Chance
By Kiyosaki, Robert T.
Few would argue with the fact that, on many fronts, we are a world in crisis. And there are two sides to every crisis, be it a leadership crisis, an economic crisis, an education crisis or a moral crisis. The two side to crisis are danger and opportunity.Robert Kiyosaki's new book, Second Chance ... for Your Money and Your Life, uses the lessons from the past and a brutal assessment of the present to prepare readers to see - -and seize- - the future.If readers can train their minds to see what their eyes cannot, in a world that is becoming increasingly more 'invisible' and moving at a high rate of speed, they can have a second chance at creating the life they've always wanted.The global problems we face cannot be solved by the same minds and people who created them and today's world demands the ability to see the future and prepare for what lies ahead .

Sheet Pan Suppers
By Gilbert, Molly
It's the one-pot meal reinvented, and what is sure to become every busy cook's new favorite way of getting dinner on the table. It's Sheet Pan Suppers - a breakthrough full-color cookbook with more than 120 recipes for complete meals, snacks, brunch, and even dessert, that require nothing more than a sheet pan, your oven, and Molly Gilbert's inspired approach. The virtue of cooking on a sheet pan is two-fold. First there's the convenience of cooking everything together and having just one pan to clean up. Then there's the cooking method - roasting, baking, or broiling - three techniques that intensify flavors; in other words, food tastes better when cooked on a sheet pan (move over, slow cooker) . But the real genius here is Molly Gilbert's fresh, sophisticated approach. There are easy dinners for weeknight meals - Chicken Legs with Fennel and Orange; Soy-Mustard Salmon and Broccoli; Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Squash, Apples, and Onions. Special occasion meals - Rack of Lamb with Herby Bread Crumbs and Buttered Carrots; Asparagus and Black Cod in Parchment. Meatless meals - Israeli Couscous-Stuffed Peppers. Plus surprise extras, including in-a-snap party snacks - Baked Brie and Strawberries, Corn and Crab Cakes with Yogurt Aioli; quick brunch dishes like Greens and Eggs and Ham, and Baked Apricot French Toast; and, of course, dessert - Stone Fruit Slab Pie, Halloween Candy S'mores. Maximum ease, minimal cleanup, and mouthwatering recipes. In other words, a revelation that will change the way we cook.
