Titles in this set: 1. Same as Ever 2. The Psychology of Money Description: Same as Ever When planning for the future we often ask, “What will the economy be doing this time next year?” Or, “What will be different ten years from now?” But forecasting is hard. The important events that will shape the future are inherently unpredictable. Instead, we should be asking a different question: What will be the same ten years from now? What will be the same one hundred years from now? Knowledge of the things that never change is more useful, and more important, than an uncertain prediction of an unknowable future. In Same As Ever, bestselling author Morgan Housel shares 24 short stories about the ways that life, behaviour, and business will always be the same. Armed with this knowledge of the unchanging, you will have a powerful new ability to think about risk, opportunity, and how to navigate the uncertainty of the future. The Psychology of Money Doing well with money isn't necessarily about what you know. It's about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people. Money investing, personal finance, and business decisions is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don't make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life's most important topics.

Astrosaurs is a popular series of children's books written by Steve Cole. The series follows the adventures of a group of space-faring dinosaurs who work as the law enforcement team of the galaxy, keeping the peace and fighting evil. The books are aimed at children aged 7-11 and are a fun and engaging way for young readers to learn about science and space exploration. The series currently consists of 22 books, each of which tells a standalone story set in the Astrosaurs universe.

The heroes of the series are a group of astrosaurs, led by Captain Teggs Stegosaur, who works for the Dinosaur Space Service (DSS), an organization responsible for keeping the peace in the galaxy. The astrosaurs travel through space in their spaceship, the Sauropod, battling evil and protecting the innocent. Each book in the series is a self-contained adventure, with the astrosaurs facing a new threat in each instalment. The threats they face range from rogue asteroids to evil alien races, and the astrosaurs use their unique skills and abilities to overcome each challenge. Captain Teggs is a skilled strategist and tactician, while his crew includes characters like Arx Orano, the sauropod engineer, and Gipsy Saurine, the team's tough-as-nails pilot.
