Sommario/riassunto |
|
"Millions of children visit virtual worlds every day. In such virtual play spaces as Habbo Hotel, Toontown, and Whyville, kids chat with friends from school, meet new people, construct avatars, and earn and spend virtual currency. In 'Connected Play', Yasmin Kafai and Deborah Fields investigate what happens when kids play in virtual worlds, how this matters for their offline lives, and what this means for the design of educational opportunities in digital worlds." |

Are You Ready for the Secret to Attaining Wealth? It Is Right In Front of You...Do you dream of a life of riches, prosperity, and purpose? Well, stop dreaming - the answers are not in some fantasy or far-off place. They are directly under your nose.Minister and Temple University-founder Russell H. Conwell became famous for his motivational and self-improvement lecture Acres of Diamonds, which he delivered around the nation more than 5,152 times before his death in 1925. In this empowering, concise statement Conwell shows you:* Why wealth is in your own backyard.* The one habit of hugely successful people.* Why simplicity is your key to greatness.* Why you have a RIGHT and an OBLIGATION to be rich. Abridged and introduced by PEN Award-winning historian Mitch Horowitz, here is an audio presentation that you will never forget. Acres of Diamonds can alter the nature and direction of your life and fortunes. The Condensed Classics Library"40 Minutes to a New You" |
