A Publisher Steven Darsley claims to have printed the most environmentally conscious series of books in the world. He has done it by using vegetable inks and 100% recycled paper. The books are printed on paper certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, ensuring a tree is planted for each one used. The first four titles include a guide to organic gardening and a children’s encyclopedia on the environment.

B The Extraordinary Life of Anna Swan by Anne Renaud briefly tells the story of the tallest woman of the 19th century – she stood just under eight feet tall (2.27 metres) – and her tall husband, Martin Van Buren Bates, who was somewhat shorter. The book seems to be intended for teenage readers – the vocabulary in the back suggests this – but it is suitable for anyone who wishes to know something of Anna Swan.

C What makes a book rare and valuable? The rarest books in the world are highly sought after by collectors because they’re associated with a particular author or a major historical event, or simply because they’re incredibly old. Some books become rare not because of the content of the book itself, but because a famous person owned it. Some collectors have been lucky to find rare books at a yard sale for $1.

D “Whichbook” is a website for those who love to read. Sometimes it is difficult to find a new and exciting book to read. The website enables millions of combinations of factors and then suggests books which most closely match your needs. You may choose “Happy” or “Sad”, “Serious” or “Funny”, “Expected” or “Unusual”, and a list of books will appear. You may also read short reviews of these books.

E The enemies of paper are moisture, heat and time. All paper degrades eventually – in fact, some of it is made with acids that cause the paper to literally disintegrate. Even the finest paper can be damaged by water. Light, especially sunlight, causes serious ink fading. For that reason, very rare books are not often displayed in public, and when they are, the temperature and humidity are carefully controlled. Scholars will argue over the definition of the word “book”. Must it con- sist of multiple pages bound to a cover and spine, like a modern book, or might a scroll or a series of etched tablets be called “a book”? There isn’t really a right or wrong answer to this question. Perhaps a more practical approach would be to consider the length of the volume in question, since most would consider a book to be of more substantial length than, for example, a proclamation or a letter.

G Many people have claimed that reading a special book has transformed their life, but now scientists have discovered that enjoying a novel can make a real change in the brain, too. US researchers used scanners to identify brain networks associated with reading stories and found that changes in the brain stay for a few days after reading a powerful work of fiction. Brain function improves for days after reading a novel!

No fishing gear was on the boat, and Pereira explained he D) caught turtles and small birds with his bare hands.

The Marshall islanders E) who found Pereira took him to the main island on the atoll. The atoll is so remote that there is only one phone line, at the local council house, and no Internet.

Workaholics: to work or not to work?

Many people confuse hard-working people with workaholics. Workaholism means that you value work over any other activity, even when it negatively affects your health and family, as well as the quality of your work. On the other hand, there are many people who put in long hours, but still give back to their loved ones and enjoy outside activities when they have free time. These people are hard workers, not workaholics. There is a very serious distinction between the two.

When work becomes all consuming and joyless - that is, you go well beyond whattasks necessary and have no other interests or activities – it becomes a negative addiction. Their work addiction is a recurring obsession, and typically joyless.

These days too many people are being labelled (or labelling themselves) "workaholics" just for putting in a few extra hours per week. The truth is that in this poor economy, many of these people are working extra hard just to keep their jobs. Real workaholics have few (if any) outside interests. They let their family lives fall apart. They often have health problems and suffer from depression and deep insecurities. Like any addiction, they repeat destructive behaviors despite knowing that theytaskre destructive. Many would like to stop, but find it difficult or impossible to do so.

There are key differences between hard workers and workaholics. If hard workers think of work as a required and (at times) pleasurable obligation, workaholics see it as a way to distance themselves from unwanted feelings and relationships. Family and friends are important to hard workers, whereas workaholics believe that work is more important than anything else in their lives. Hard workers can take breaks from work while workaholics cantaskt because they think about work regardless of what theytaskre doing or who theytaskre with.

The difference between hard workers and workaholics may more correctly be understood when we look at that persontasks motivation to work. The researchers found that people work hard for different reasons. Hard work could be looked upon favourably as it brings financial rewards, or enjoyment. It can also be looked upon by someone as giving good opportunities to lead an active social life. However true workaholics work just for worktasks sake.

There are also people who work hard simply because they love what they do. Barbara Woods is Executive Director of Casa Palmera, an organisation providing psychological and medical help to men, women and their family members suffering from addictions and behavioral health disorders in San Diego. After an injury, Barbaratasks friends suggested she take time off to heal. Her response: "I thought about it, but I just love my job. I cantaskt wait to get to work. I know I work long hours and people think Itaskm a workaholic, but I get such joy out of my work. I feel like Itaskm doing something important." While ittasks true that Barbara works up to 80 hours a week, shetasks also engaged with her sons, has many friends and is happy and healthy, so she is likely not a workaholic. Barbara simply is one of those fortunate people who work hard because they truly love their job.

The evidence is clear that being a workaholic leads to serious physical problems. Dontaskt risk your life for your job! The key is to understand that sometimes an obsession with your job performance is more than normal hard work. Ittasks a real - and dangerous - addiction.
