Publisher's Summary
Cuando Usted aprende inglés, las palabras similares en español, llamadas cognados, son más fáciles de aprender porque parecen y significan lo mismo que la palabra que ya conoce. Por ejemplo“gratitude” en inglés tiene el mismo significado que “gratitud” en español.
Una palabra es cognado de otra cuando derivan de una misma palabra en un lenguaje ancestral. En este caso ambas palabras provienen de la palabra latina “gratitude” que significa “agradecimiento” Durante su aprendizaje del inglés haga foco en los cognados más frecuentemente usados. Aprenda lo que ya sabe.
Uno de los errores más frecuentes al aprender un idioma extranjero es que el estudiante no tiene prioridades. Todas las palabras desconocidas reciben la misma atención. Tiene mucho sentido identificar y enfocar su atención en las palaras con las que ya está familiarizado. En este libro, Usted encontrará la lista de los cognados mas utilizados.
Usando un algoritmo que sumistra el ránking, este libro le proveerá las 100 palabras cognados que debería aprender primero para manejarse cuando viaja o interactúa con personas que hablan inglés. Las frases de ejemplo están redactadas de una manera muy simple. Sin complicaciones. Directo y sencillo.

Tired of the pace and noise of life near London and longing for a better place to raise their young children, Mary J. MacLeod and her husband, George, encountered their dream while vacationing on a remote island in the Scottish Hebrides. Enthralled by its windswept beauty, they soon were the proud and startled owners of a near-derelict croft house - a farmer’s stone cottage - on “a small acre” of land. Mary assumed duties as the island’s district nurse.

"The tale of Carl Wake and the hurricane that was waiting for him goes straight to the heart of the greatest sea stories: they are not about man against the sea, but man against himself. John Kretschmer's audiobook is as perfectly shaped and flawlessly written as such a story can be. In addition to being the best depiction I have ever listened to of what it is like to be inside a hurricane at sea, At the Mercy of the Sea is as moving a story of a man's failure and redemption as can be found anywhere in the literature of the sea. This audiobook is surely destined to become a classic."

Story
The “mountain men” were the hunters and trappers who fiercely strode the Rocky Mountains in the early to mid-1800s. They braved the elements in search of the skins of beavers and other wild animals, to sell or barter for goods. The lifestyle of the mountain men could be harsh, existing as they did among animals, and spending most of their days and nights living and camping out in the great unexplored wilds of the Rockies.

Story
Elisabeth Tova Bailey tells the intimate and inspiring story of her year-long encounter with a snail. While an illness keeps her bedridden, she becomes an astute and amused observer of the snail's surprising nocturnal adventures as it lives in a flowerpot on her nightstand. Intrigued by the snail’s clear decision making abilities, hydraulic locomotion, mysterious courtship, and molluscan anatomy, Bailey takes the listener deep into the life of this tiny amazing animal. With wit and grace, The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating recounts a remarkable journey of human and gastropod survival and resilience, and shows how the natural world illuminates our own human existence. Winner of the William Saroyan International Prize for Nonfiction, the John Burrough Medal Award for Natural History, and a National Outdoor Book Award. If you enjoyed Wesley the Owl, The Guest Cat, and Marley & Me, you'll enjoy this unique interspecies audiobook listen.

This is an unexpected wonder. The quiet virtues of the snail reflect the quiet voyage of the author.
