Summary of Harry Campbell's The Rideshare Guide


Book Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Being an Uber driver isn’t as easy as it seems. It takes a lot of hard work and skills to be an Uber driver, and only a few make it past the difficulties. #2 As a rideshare driver, you’re a 1099 independent contractor, which means you’ll be responsible for all your expenses and file a Schedule C at tax time. However, this shouldn't scare you since I'll help you stay ahead of the game when it comes to taxes and reporting. #3 Rideshare drivers put a lot of miles on their cars. A full-time driver can easily do a thousand miles a week or more, and if you subtract the cost of gas from your earnings, you’ll see that your net earnings can be significantly lower than the $459. 18 shown in the table. #4 The ultimate flexibility, Uber allows you to make money on a whim. However, most people don't need this flexibility. You'll want to work enough to get in a rhythm and start earning decent money.

The Adult Learner


Book Description

How do you tailor education to the learning needs of adults? Do they learn differently from children? How does their life experience inform their learning processes? These were the questions at the heart of Malcolm Knowles’ pioneering theory of andragogy which transformed education theory in the 1970s. The resulting principles of a self-directed, experiential, problem-centred approach to learning have been hugely influential and are still the basis of the learning practices we use today. Understanding these principles is the cornerstone of increasing motivation and enabling adult learners to achieve. The 9th edition of The Adult Learner has been revised to include: Updates to the book to reflect the very latest advancements in the field. The addition of two new chapters on diversity and inclusion in adult learning, and andragogy and the online adult learner. An updated supporting website. This website for the 9th edition of The Adult Learner will provide basic instructor aids including a PowerPoint presentation for each chapter. Revisions throughout to make it more readable and relevant to your practices. If you are a researcher, practitioner, or student in education, an adult learning practitioner, training manager, or involved in human resource development, this is the definitive book in adult learning you should not be without.




The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires


Book Description

“This funny and fresh take on a classic tale manages to comment on gender roles, racial disparities, and white privilege all while creeping me all the way out. So good.”—Zakiya Dalila Harris, author of The Other Black Girl Steel Magnolias meets Dracula in this New York Times best-selling horror novel about a women's book club that must do battle with a mysterious newcomer to their small Southern town. Bonus features: • Reading group guide for book clubs • Hand-drawn map of Mt. Pleasant • Annotated true-crime reading list by Grady Hendrix • And more! Patricia Campbell’s life has never felt smaller. Her husband is a workaholic, her teenage kids have their own lives, her senile mother-in-law needs constant care, and she’s always a step behind on her endless to-do list. The only thing keeping her sane is her book club, a close-knit group of Charleston women united by their love of true crime. At these meetings they’re as likely to talk about the Manson family as they are about their own families. One evening after book club, Patricia is viciously attacked by an elderly neighbor, bringing the neighbor's handsome nephew, James Harris, into her life. James is well traveled and well read, and he makes Patricia feel things she hasn’t felt in years. But when children on the other side of town go missing, their deaths written off by local police, Patricia has reason to believe James Harris is more of a Bundy than a Brad Pitt. The real problem? James is a monster of a different kind—and Patricia has already invited him in. Little by little, James will insinuate himself into Patricia’s life and try to take everything she took for granted—including the book club—but she won’t surrender without a fight in this blood-soaked tale of neighborly kindness gone wrong.

When Oakley Nelson loses her older brother, Lucas, to cancer, she thinks she’ll never recover.
