Remember, Remember
|
["Lisa Cutts"]
| 3.89 | 199 | 23 |
This second book in the DC Nina Foster series (now optioned for a major TV drama) is a taut and gripping police procedural crime novel.
When Nina returns to work after recovering from a near-fatal injury, she's supposed to be keeping her head down. But the cold case she's working on – an infamous train crash from 1964 – is no match for the lure of the shootings, drugs deaths and robberies keeping her colleagues busy.
And before long she uncovers crucial new evidence linking the historic crash to the current spate of heroin-related deaths. Once again, she's back at the centre of a complex case which brings her face-to-face with a network of criminals who will stop at nothing to protect their empire.
Brilliantly plotted and fast-paced, Remember, Remember cements Lisa Cutts' reputation as a crime author of gripping fiction straight from the front line of modern policing.

Authentic Movement: Essays by Mary Starks Whitehouse, Janet Adler and Joan Chodorow
|
["Suzanne Lovell"]
| 0 | 0 | null |
`Patrizia Pallaro's second volume of essays on Authentic Movement, eight years after her first, is a tour de force. It is indeed "an extraordinary array of papers", as Pallaro puts it, and an immensely rich, moving and highly readable sweep through the landscapes of Authentic Movement, "this form of creative expression, meditative discipline and/or psychotherapeutic endeavour…You don't need to practise Authentic Movement to get a lot out of this book, but it certainly helps! I defy anyone to read the first two sections and not be curious to have their own experience.'- Sesame Institute`Authentic Movement can be seen as a means by which analysts can become more sensitive to unconscious, especially pre-verbal aspects of themselves and their patients.'-Body Psychotherapy Journal Newsletter, No. 30`This book is a collection of articles, some of which are interviews, brought together for the first time. It is very valuable to have them all together in one place...It is a wonderful collection of articles on topics you have always wanted to read, such as the role of transference in dance therapy or Jung and dance therapy. The book also includes scripts for exercises.'- SomaticsAuthentic Movement, an exploration of the unconscious through movement, was largely defined by the work of Mary Starks Whitehouse, Janet Adler and Joan Chodorow. The basic concepts of Authentic Movement are expressed for the first time in one volume through interviews and conversations with these important figures, and their key papers. They emphasize the importance of movement as a means of communication, particularly unconscious or `authentic' movement, emerging when the individual has a deep, self-sensing awareness - an attitude of `inner listening'. Such movement can trigger powerful images, feelings and kinesthetic sensations arising from the depths of our stored childhood memories or connecting our inner selves to the transcendent.In exploring Authentic Movement these questions are - How does authentic movement differ from other forms of dance and movement therapy?- How may `authentic' movement be experienced?

["Henry J. Thomson"]
| 5 | 2 | null |
“Habanero pepper may be the most powerful and useful healer of this century.” - Henry J. Thomson The contents within this book should be used with extreme caution. This book is for the people who want to take their heat to the next level. People who want to feel good, alive and healthy again. People who like their hot peppers crazy, zany, and insanely hot! Get excited or should I say fired up! Because you are about to learn why habanero peppers may be one of the greatest sexual stimulants and hottest healers of all time. Have you ever seen those orange looking lanterns in the veggie section of your grocery store? Well, look again, because it may be habanero peppers! Here's a good question... Can habanero peppers really fight against such deadly diseases as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, erectile dysfunction or even a virus? I believe habaneros can! As a matter of fact, I will be sharing my personal experiences using this amazing hot pepper, as well as my extensive research. This is powerful information that is for the most part “unknown.” Even my “hot pepper” sexual arousal formula is something I discovered on my own and I'm only revealing it for the first time in this book. Also, I will be covering how to grow and use this miraculous pepper. To your good health, - Henry J. Thomson

Lyric Matthews is a woman who has been through more heartache than any one person should ever know. After her last devastating blow, dealt by her ex fiancé, Lyric decided that enough was enough. She was done with the relationship thing. In fact, she was done with men period. Which is why she has been celibate for the last two years. Figuring that she's just better off alone, Lyric becomes emotionally unavailable. She just wants to be left alone. So when she's offered a chance to get away for a week of sun and relaxation, she is extremely hesitant to take it. But after being coerced, by her sister and best friend, she goes against her better judgment and sets out to the beautiful island of Barbados. Her first day on the island, Lyric realizes that she probably should have followed her first instinct and stayed at home. Especially when she meets, Omari. A man who to her great displeasure, is kicking up a whirlwind of emotions inside of her. Confused and conflicted, Lyric's not sure of anything, except that after this week she will never be the same again. Omari Alleyne, is the easy going, laid back type that can get along with almost anyone. But when chance throws him together with a controlling, unyielding, stubborn, Lyric, he's not sure even he can handle her attitude. On vacation, fleeing from his own issues back in L.A., Omari doesn't need any more drama in his life. But there's something about Lyric that he just can't shake. She puts up a tough front for the world, but Omari can see that, that's nothing but an act. The more time he spends in her presence the more intrigued he becomes. Looking for a way to break through her wall and get her to let down her guard, he makes her an offer that she really should refuse. Two strangers, one island, one week....anything can happen.

The Myth of Smith: Rhodesia Revealed
|
["Douglas Schorr"]
| 3.18 | 11 | 3 |
Offered an opportunity to join a Rhodesian death squad dealing in germ warfare and other nasties, and faced with the torture and murder of his close staff, Douglas Schorr resigned from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a refugee of a brutal war at the age of 28. Today, 30 years later, he has sat down to write out the tale of his involvement in that war, told from the experience of another lifetime’s worth of living and learning. ‘The Myth of Smith’ pierces the dark heart of Zimbabwe’s Bush War and offers an alternate telling of that tale. It is an autobiography with a to explode the fable of the ‘Breadbasket of Africa’ just as surely as a landmine beneath a Land Rover, and to send shrapnel from that explosion hurtling into the past, present and future. “I am a white man bred under the African sun. I am a white man who fought for Smith. I fought for a dream, my dream couched in his dream of a thousand years of white rule, a dream many, many of us Rhodesians shared. Today I am sitting down to write a book about that dream, principally about how that dream never was.”

["Wiesława Bancarzewska"]
| 4.03 | 34 | null |
Anna stara się nie myśleć o współczesnym świecie, który opuściła na dobre. Jej życie jest teraz w Annopolu w latach trzydziestych, u boku ukochanego męża i córeczki Walentynki. Zajmuje się domem, odwiedza przyjaciół, zaczyna robić karierę jako autorka książek dla dzieci. Niespodziewanie dostaje niezwykłą szansę od losu, szansę na odzyskanie rodziny. Już niedługo spotka tatę, ciocię Marysię i babcię Duszkowską. Jedno jednak nie daje jej spokoju – zbliżająca się wojna...
Zapiski z Annopola to barwna opowieść o miłości i sile rodzinnych więzi. Autorka sugestywnie kreśli obrazy miast i miasteczek przedwojennej Polski. Przede wszystkim jednak przypomina o wadze międzyludzkich relacji, tęsknocie za ciepłem domowego ogniska, spokojem i prostotą.

Refuting Allah, Proving Jesus
|
["Mike A. Robinson"]
| 3.67 | 3 | null |
It’s difficult to find books that refute Islam using worldview criticism and Christian truth, yet some thinkers warn the "Arab winter comes to America." In "Refuting Allah, Proving Jesus" Robinson produces an innovative book that argues that Islamic thought fails the test of reason and that Christian theism is not only true, but Christianity is rationally necessary and assured. "Refuting Allah, Proving Jesus:
Christian Truth and Presuppositions Critique Islam" is a readable volume; accessible yet scholarly.
"Refuting Allah, Proving Jesus Christian Truth" evaluates the claims of Islam and examines the evidence for the Christian counterclaim, equipping you with strong apologetic answers. This fresh edition provides resources and leading-edge argumentation throughout.
Robinson defines difficult terminology and explains challenging concepts so no one is baffled by the clear contentions he furnishes. This fresh resource establishes the necessary reliability of the New Testament, and in contrast with Islam, that Christianity is the only sound worldview; it alone provides logical, philosophical, and theological essentials.
This volume is a must for everyone concerned about defending Christian theism against the claims of Islamic thought.
If you desire to find out how a philosophical, biblical, theological, and transcendental analysis refutes the Qur’an and Islamic thought, then this book is for you.
Within its pages are numerous deductive and transcendental arguments which make it a very unique book regarding comparative religion. It’s a fine resource for a searching non-Christian, those with apologetic or philosophical interests, religious scholars, and ministers.
"Refuting Allah, Proving Jesus" is a clearly written and fairly presented statement of what Islamic Theism implies and how Christians can argue for the truth of the Triune God as we present the claims of Christ to Muslims in a persuasive and caring manner.
Logically meticulous, apologetically relevant, and philosophically indispensable, this is a richly illuminating work. Anyone interested in sharing the truth with Muslim friends or understanding the doctrines and theological foundation of Islam will appreciate this new apologetic resource.
Using an easy–to–follow format this book helps the reader answer questions like:
• Muhammad and Jesus Christ—what are their roles and who has a legitimate claim to authority?
• The Qur’an and the Bible—what kind of inspiration and authority do they have?
• Islamic Theology—What are the theological, philosophical, and logical problems?
• Did Mohammad exist and what are to flaws of the Qur'an?
Readers will discover that this is an invaluable tool for discussing and sharing the truth and life of Christ with Muslim friends and acquaintances.
Mike Robinson, author of 30 Apologetic books, longtime pastor of Christ Covenant Church and instructor at FLBS.

Vegas : la sensualité, l’argent et la fête… de trop !
Nous sommes au Costa Rica, Caleb me fait visiter sa maison. Je suis tellement impressionnée par le luxe de ce petit paradis, par la beauté de la végétation, des paysages !
– J'ai demandé qu'on nous prépare le lit et qu'on nous remplisse le frigo et les placards. Maria m’a dit qu’elle nous avait préparé de bons petits plats. On devrait survivre…
– Je ne me fais pas de souci. On a tout ce qu’il nous faut, et même plus. De quoi manger, des vues éblouissantes, une piscine hallucinante. Et le lit, il est comment ?
– Très confortable, tu vas voir. Un vrai lit de… « lune de miel », me dit-il d’un ton taquin.
Je rougis.
– Ça me semble approprié après tout, reprend-il. Puisqu’on fait tout dans le désordre : on s’est mariés avant de se connaître, ça me semble logique que l’on parte en « voyage de noces » trois mois après… La semaine prochaine, promis, je te fais la cour.
***
Grace est à Las Vegas pour assister à un mariage. Après une soirée bien arrosée, elle se retrouve au matin mariée à Caleb, un homme rencontré la veille, sans avoir aucun souvenir de la cérémonie.
Il est charmant, ce Caleb, il est même carrément canon, et en plus il est très riche, mais se marier, ce n’était pas du tout dans les projets de Grace. Sa liberté, elle y tient. Le hic, c’est que son cher époux, dont elle ne sait rien, ne semble pas décidé à accepter l’annulation de leur mariage…

After the Prosperous Age: State and Elites in Early Nineteenth-Century Suzhou
|
["Seunghyun Han"]
| 0 | 0 | null |
Scholars have described the eighteenth century in China as a time of “state activism” when the state sought to strengthen its control on various social and cultural sectors. The Taiping Rebellion and the postbellum restoration efforts of the mid-nineteenth century have frequently been associated with the origins of elite activism. However, drawing upon a wide array of sources, including previously untapped Qing government documents, After the Prosperous Age argues that the ascendance of elite activism can be traced to the Jiaqing and Daoguang reigns in the early nineteenth century, and that the Taiping Rebellion served as a second catalyst for the expansion of elite public roles rather than initiating such an expansion.
The first four decades of the nineteenth century in China remain almost uncharted territory. By analyzing the social and cultural interplay between state power and local elites of Suzhou, a city renowned for its economic prosperity and strong sense of local pride, from the eighteenth to the early nineteenth century, Seunghyun Han illuminates the significance of this period in terms of the reformulation of state-elite relations marked by the unfolding of elite public activism and the dissolution of a centralized cultural order.

Beauty Bound : Woman's Quest for Physical Perfection
|
["Rita Freedman"]
| 4.08 | 12 | 1 |
Unpalatable though the fact may be, a woman's beauty has always counted for a great deal in both her personal and her professional life: the same is not, however, true for men. But why should anything as accidental as looks have so strong an influence on a woman's chances of success in life?
A myth prevails that women are the fair sex. To support that myth, women are expected to spend a great deal of time and money striving for the goal of beauty. They diet pathologically, exercise to the point of exhaustion, disguise themselves with cosmetics, camouflage their bodies, even undergo surgery ... and they pursue youthfulness more and more intensely as they age.
In her expose of society's palpably unjust yet universally accepted double standard for beauty, Rita Freedman examines the concept of female beauty as a social myth, how our physical perception of ourselves affects our mental health, the value of cosmetic rituals, the power of beauty, adornment vs achievement, the sexual language of beauty, age anxiety and the cult of youth, and the need for women to base their self-image on something other than their appearance.

Pronuncio un nombre hueco busca construir la imagen y la vida del escritor Roberto Bolaño tomándolo como un personaje ficcional.Un niño mira el desierto. ¿Cómo puede saber lo que le espera, lo que va a venir? El niño mira el desierto y empieza a sentirse distinto, casi puede vislumbrar la violencia que lo arrebatará dentro de algunos años. Trata de leer lo que está escrito en esa inmensidad. ¿Cómo mirar el futuro? ¿Cómo descifrarlo? Y más importante, para qué querer hacerlo si lo que va a venir siempre es distinto de lo que se imagina. Lo mismo podríamos decir del pasado. ¿Cómo miramos el pasado? ¿Cómo lo leemos sin tergiversarlo? Y es eso. El pasado es igual de fútil que el porvenir, como la arena.

Time Down to Mind
|
["Graham Foust"]
| 4.44 | 27 | 1 |
Poetry. "No one gets dark (or gets darkness) like Graham Foust. He's the one who'll 'A touch horrific is the green with which / the ground will tear the winter' while everyone else is writing their paean to spring. His (and ours) is a world of violence and ennui set to catchy numbers. 'I heard a fly buzz. / I don't know when I died.' In TIME DOWN TO MIND, Foust, now in early middle age, feels time's pressure as never before. He faces backwards tweaking lines from old songs and poems while being pulled or blown into the future. 'The heart of being is that I'm being forced out.' This is something we all know, of course, but who else will put it so baldly, so memorably. This work feels necessary."—Rae Armantrout
"I like when it feels like poems are 'written for me.' Graham Foust's poems have that the way they sound, the connections they make—to each other, to life, our lives... Just open this book and I'm sure you'll agree!"—Stephen Malkmus

Coil Me Up

["Eloreen Moon"]
| 2.65 | 26 | 3 |
Dear Author,
That dark-headed man, who is looking up at his lover, is me. We have been through a lot of heartache and trials, but we have finally made our relationship permanent. As two different types of snake shifters, we had to overcome some major obstacles. Our families put us through a lot of headaches trying to keep us part, but we overcame it all. Can you tell us how we managed to overcome those differences and our families to get us to where we are now, happy and so deeply in love?
Photo Description:
Two half-snake men, one a green anaconda and one a brown python, sit coiled together on rocks with their eyes half-lidded. The anaconda is sitting higher than the python. The python man is holding the anaconda man at the waist, and one hand lower on the scaly lower half. He has a tattoo on his upper right arm. The anaconda man is holding the python man’s face, while he looks down with tenderness. He has a tattoo on his left shoulder.

Digital Humanities Pedagogy: Practices, Principles and Politics
|
["Brett Hirsch"]
| 3.67 | 3 | null |
Academic institutions are starting to recognize the growing public interest in digital humanities research, and there is an increasing demand from students for formal training in its methods. Despite the pressure on practitioners to develop innovative courses, scholarship in this area has tended to focus on research methods, theories and results rather than critical pedagogy and the actual practice of teaching.The essays in this collection offer a timely intervention in digital humanities scholarship, bringing together established and emerging scholars from a variety of humanities disciplines across the world. The first section offers views on the practical realities of teaching digital humanities at undergraduate and graduate levels, presenting case studies and snapshots of the authors’ experiences alongside models for future courses and reflections on pedagogical successes and failures. The next section proposes strategies for teaching foundational digital humanities methods across a variety of scholarly disciplines, and the book concludes with wider debates about the place of digital humanities in the academy, from the field’s cultural assumptions and social obligations to its political visions.Digital Humanities Pedagogy broadens the ways in which both scholars and practitioners can think about this emerging discipline, ensuring its ongoing development, vitality and long-term sustainability.

["Eugene Hairston"]

"The year is 1968. Eugene (Tree) Hairston, an eighteen year old from the ghetto in Portsmouth VA, joins the service to get away from his abusive family. Serving in Vietnam, Hairston runs headlong into blatant racial discrimination and angers his superiors by reporting it. A sergeant, who loses a promotion because of the report, has Hairston bound and beaten, takes him up in a helicopter, and shoves him out into Viet Cong territory, to his probable death. Miraculously, Hairston is rescued three days later is given the option to leave the service. At home, his untreated Post Traumatic Stress Disorder completely overtakes his life; the only way he is able to cope is by using drugs and alcohol. Unable to support his family or his habit, he turns to criminal activity and eventually becomes a successful drug dealer. His many attempts to get clean and sober fail; eventually he serves three prison sentences: for burglary, armed robbery, and drug dealing. In an effort to change his life, Hairston moves to Tampa, Florida, where he ends up living on the streets for eight long years. This book follows him through his desperate addiction to the moment his life changed."

Dzieje Ukrainy
|
["Leszek Podhorodecki"]
| 3.5 | 4 | null |
Dzikie Pola, szumiące stepy i nostalgiczne krajobrazy - taki obraz Ukrainy utrwalił się w świadomości historycznej Polaków. Polska literatura hasała po tej ziemi równie pięknie jak polska konnica po jej stepach. Ile w tym obrazie mitu, a ile rzeczywistości? Wiedza historyczna Polaków o sąsiednim kraju, z którym łączy nas tyle więzi, daleko odbiega od oczekiwań.
Ukraina to kolebka państwa rosyjskiego, Rosjan i Ukraińców łączy niewątpliwie więcej niż Ukraińców i Polaków. Krwawa przeszłość i wzajemne oskarżenia zaowocowały nieufnością, którą trudno przezwyciężyć. Książka Leszka Podhorodeckiego, wyważona, choć pełna pasji badawczej, pozwoli lepiej zrozumieć przeszłość Ukrainy.

Όταν θα βγαίνουν τα λιοντάρια, φίλησέ με

["Κυριάκος Μαργαρίτης"]
| 3.84 | 19 | 5 |
Σημαίες, τυμπανοκρουσίες, μεγάφωνα. Κρίση, αδικία, αγανάκτηση. Η πλατεία γίνεται αρένα. Στο βάθος, τα θηρία ξυπνούν και βρυχώνται. Αυτό το Μάη η Αθήνα νοσταλγεί τους Δεκέμβρηδες. Αυτό το Μάη, η άνοιξη δεν λέει να ανοίξει.
Ο Πέτρος αναζητά τη Σοφία μέσα σε πρόσωπα νεκρών αγαπημένων γυναικών, σε μια ιστορία αγάπης, σε μάτια γάτων, ασημένια πτηνά, παλιά σπιρτόκουτα. Η Σοφία ονειρεύεται τον Πέτρο μα την βαραίνουν οι ενοχές, η έρημη πόλη, ο θεριστής και μια αράχνη κουτσή που την έπεισε ότι δεν είναι τώρα καιρός για έρωτες. Γύρω τους, μια δέσμη άνθρωποι, φίλοι κι εχθροί, εναγωνίως κυνηγούν τη χίμαιρά τους, ίδια για όλους κι ανόμοια, ψάχνοντας μέσα της το χρόνο που χάθηκε ή τον εαυτό που χάθηκε - και που ίσως να 'ναι το ίδιο πράγμα.
Πώς ανθίζουν οι πληγές; Πώς καταργείται ο θάνατος; Πώς γράφεται μια ιστορία αγάπης την ώρα του πιο μεγάλου μακελειού;
Ένα μυθιστόρημα για την αγωνία μιας γενιάς να μείνει ζωντανή μες στη μιζέρια, μια ιστορία για τον επικίνδυνο ρεαλισμό της ζωής ενάντια στον ασφαλή ρομαντισμό του θανάτου ή για την αλήτικη αυθάδεια της γάτας ενάντια στο νικηφόρο βρυχηθμό του λιονταριού.

The Valknut or death- knot is said to symbolize the great God Odin’s power to lay bonds on the minds of mortal men leaving them helpless in battle. It is said that he could also banish the tensions of fear and strain, by bestowing gifts of madness, intoxication and inspiration. A young novice at a remote monastery on the Northumbrian coast is captured by a group of Norse raiders and taken to Gotland, where he becomes slave to a blacksmith. Some years later his is ship wrecked on one of the many small islands off the coast of Svealand, and discovers an ancient full-face battle helm. The helmet is made from three triangular interwoven pieces of bronze, the symbol of the Valknut. It becomes the catalyst in a series of events that brings peace to a war torn land, and a hero out of the most unlikely and unwilling of thralls..

["María Auxiliadora Álvarez"]
| 4.6 | 5 | null |
La presente antología constituye un esfuerzo por presentar al lector la evolución constante de la poesía de María Auxiliadora Álvarez. En 1985, con la publicación de Cuerpo, una nueva manera de decir y de poetizar sacude la escena de la literatura venezolana: a través de construcciones desmembradas, las palabras y las imágenes se convierten en rajaduras de un cuerpo semántico que nos conducen, invariablemente, a un referente de piel y sangre, el frito en el quirófano, los dolores de parto.
La estética de María Auxiliadora Álvarez, en sus inicios, se caracterizó por la aspereza y el desgarramiento —paulatino— de los músculos del verso. Pero sn sus últimos poemarios podemos apreciar un grito de 180 grados; sin dejar de ser innovador, su pulso poético adopta un tono místico y trascendental, heredero de una sólida tradición poética latinoamericana.

This book picks up where Covert Operations leaves off.
Excerpt:
I wake up to voices. They aren't excited or threatening, and they're not walking on top of my tent. I don't have to feel nervous. If they find me, I've got a better chance of getting out of this without any fuss if I'm in wolf form. I check everything first. All my equipment is in the tent. I collapse the plastic poles that hold the tent up. It falls down around me.
I have to remember that I'm not a nice little doggy. They won't rub my tummy if I flop over and whine nicely. I'm a mammoth wolf. Undoubtedly, their village loses sheep to the local wolf pack every year. They'll kill me as soon as they see me.

Fireflies & Summer Nights

["Jo Willow"]
| 2.63 | 19 | 1 |
Rae Anne Adams and Rose James grew up together. They were both guitar players and their friendship continued into adulthood. When Rose's husbands record label "Slow Burn" signed Josh Parker and The Storm, James Monroe came along with it.
James Monroe has played second fiddle to Josh Parker his whole life. He'd even been a contender for Josh's wife, Katie. Rae Anne is an in-your-face, straight talker that likes to give nicknames. She calls Josh "Clapton" and James, "Hendrix". Something about her strikes James in all the right ways, but does Rae feel the same way? Could James have another fight on his hands, only made worse because his only competition is Rae's desire to remain single? What will it take for him to break down her walls and finally get his, "Happily Ever After"?

The Original Constitution: What It Actually Said And Meant

["Robert G. Natelson"]
| 4.48 | 46 | 4 |
Knowledge is power. This book is full of information that even many experts don't know. From it, you will learn: The Constitution’s hidden meanings. Many of its words and phrases meant something different in the 18th century than they do today. How the founders wanted the Constitution interpreted. Is it really a “living” document? (The answers may surprise you!) How the original Constitution protected your rights. What a privilege is, and how it is different from a right. How the framers were ahead of their time in respecting women and minorities.

Faith and Magic in Early Modern Finland
|
["Raisa Maria Toivo"]
| 4.17 | 6 | 1 |
Early modern Finland is rarely the focus of attention in the study of European history, but it has a place in the context of northern European religious and political culture. While Finland was theoretically Lutheran, a religious plurality – embodied in ceremonies and interpreted as magic – survived and flourished. Blessing candles, pilgrimages, and offerings to forest spirits merged with catechism hearings and sermon preaching among the lay piety. What were the circumstances that allowed for such a continuity of magic? How were the manifestations and experiences that defined faith and magic tied together? How did western and eastern religious influences manifest themselves in Finnish magic? Faith and Magic in Early Modern Finland shows us how peripheral Finland can shed light on the wider context of European magic and religion.

I recommend this book to all legalization enthusiasts, medical marijuana patients, parents, and anyone else interested in the subject.

10 Minutes a Day For Easy, Quick Weight Loss: Use Acupressure and EFT to Stop Overeating & Curb Hunger
|
["Terrie Taylor"]
| 3.2 | 5 | null |
Use Acupressure Points on your body to turbo charge your weight loss. Stop Emotional Eating in it's tracks! This REALLY is easy weight loss. If you are overweight it is very likely that you have tried diets. If you are like me then you have probably tried many diets. If you manage to loose any weight then it comes right back as soon as you go off the diet and eat normally again. Usually with a few extra pounds for your trouble! Do you know why? Because diets do not address the underlying issues, the emotional reasons that we overeat or make poor food choices or do not exercise or whatever the reason is that you are overweight. We all know what foods we should eat and what foods we should keep to a minimum. So why don't we eat that way? Because our emotions get in the way! Using your fingertips to tap on your body's acupressure points you can easily double your weight loss results if you use this along with a healthy eating plan. OR use it all by itself and still see the results you want. Acupoint Tapping (EFT) has been studied in several scientific evaluations of food cravings and weight loss, and was found to be helpful to people with food cravings and emotional overeating. In one study (published in the peer-reviewed journal Integrative Medicine), This type of Tapping reduced food cravings by 83%. Acupoint Tapping Can Reduce or Eliminate Emotional Overeating. If you have been using food to deal with years of past emotional hurts, then Acupoint Tapping may work for you where diets have not. Used along with a diet or all on it's own, Acupoint Tapping can help skyrocket you to your weight loss goal. You will also learn acupressure points to diminish hunger and relieve stress.

Unequal Freedoms: Ethnicity, Race, and White Supremacy in Civil War Era Charleston
|
["Jeff Strickland"]
| 3 | 1 | null |
“Ambitious and convincing. This is the first examination of the role of European immigrants in the most southern of U.S. cities and the way that they and their ethnic children conformed to or dissented from the norms of the dominant white Southern culture.”—Walter D. Kamphoefner, author of The From Germany to Missouri
“Demonstrates the importance of Charleston’s Germans and their relationships with African Americans throughout these thirty turbulent years.”—Dennis C. Rousey, author of Policing the Southern New Orleans, 1805–1889
“A provocative study that complicates and deepens our already extensive understanding of how both race and shifting ethnic identity shaped this important city in a critical era.”—Bernard E. Powers, author of Black A Social History, 1822–1885
During the latter half of the nineteenth century, the complex interplay of race, ethnicity, and class shaped the political economy and society of seaport cities from New Orleans to New York to Boston. Immigrants, African Americans, and native-born whites lived and worked together and nowhere was this level of interethnic relations so pronounced as in Charleston, South Carolina, the South’s most economically and politically significant city.
Jeff Strickland examines how German and Irish immigrants in Charleston were both agents of change during the transition from slavery to freedom, as well as embodiments of that change. As fears of strengthening antislavery sentiments took root in Charleston, racial tensions became ever more pronounced. Immigrant artisans and entrepreneurs occupied a middle tier in the racial and ethnic hierarchy, acting as a buffer between the disparate white southerners and African Americans. While relations between European immigrants and black southerners were often positive during the Civil War era, reconstruction brought new opportunities for upward socioeconomic mobility to Charleston’s immigrants. By the end of the nineteenth century, German and Irish immigrants were easily able to cross the permeable white boundaries and, through their assimilation as white southerners, effectively embraced the ideals of white supremacy.
Using an innovative framework, Jeff Strickland adds much to our knowledge about the ways European immigrant communities functioned in the South during the nineteenth century, and the significance of his research extends far beyond the geographic south.

Forbidden Spell no. 14: How to End Another's Life
|
["Marie Laveau"]
| 4.33 | 3 | 1 |
This spell in this publication is one of many believed to have been written and used by New Orleans Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau in 19th Century Louisiana.
The complete cache of artifacts were discovered in January 2006, when volunteer workers dismantled the remains of a home ravaged by Hurricane Katrina. Beneath the rubble, they found a tin coffee canister containing 13 oil-preserved papers written in old world French. Later translated, the writings were found to detail incantations, gris-gris ingredients and instructions for Voodoo rituals. The first page in the set was dated 1896 and signed by Marie Laveau Clapion.
The French to English translations were initially published in two volumes. Those books, THE LOST SPELLS OF MARIE LAVEAU and FORBIDDEN SPELLS OF THE NEW ORLEANS' VOODOO QUEEN, are out-of-print today.
This document includes one of the spells from those documents, along with the complete history and background of the discovery and Marie Laveau herself.

Chronic Pain: A Way Out
|
["Stephen Colameco"]
| 4.33 | 3 | null |
Chronic pain affects millions of people. Medical treatments such as medication and procedures are often ineffective—and they sometimes make matters worse! Award winning pain programs take a holistic approach to care, but most pain sufferers do not have access to a comprehensive pain program. This book offers steps to create an alternative treatment path that includes evidence-based medical treatments, physical modalities, counseling, self-care education and alternative approaches.This book is a resource for not only for those who suffer with chronic pain but for their families and healthcare providers. It includes information about interventional pain management procedures, medications, psychological treatments, physical therapies, alternative and complementary approaches. The book also address the risk of addiction to opioid medications. Each chapter includes specific action steps to help individuals determine the types of treatments that might best meet their needs. This book also includes an updated version of the author's previously published 12-Step Chronic Pain recovery guide. The 12-Steps are intended to help individuals recover from the emotional suffering that so often accompanies chronic pain. The 12-Step approach presented in this book draws upon the rich tradition of other 12-Step programs and of cognitive behavioral therapy. For those who have failed traditional medical treatments, such as medications, surgery, and spinal injections, these Steps offer hope for a better future with little, if any, risk. They offer a solution to problems that contribute to pain suffering—lack of trust, fear, worry, blame, isolation, and resentment. They provide a path for recovery from suffering—a path that leads to trust, honesty, reconciliation, peace and joy. What do experts have to say about Chronic A Way Out?"A holistic approach based on solid clinical evidence. Patients and medical care professionals alike can read and learn. Highly recommended" –Fernando S. Branco, M.D., FAAPMR. Certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Pain Management and Addiction Medicine. Medical Director, Rosomoff Comprehensive Rehabilitation Center and Brucker Biofeedback Center, Miami, FL “No one can be excluded from the risk of chronic pain. Dr. Colameco's book is an educational tool that needs to be read by everyone regardless of his or her current experience of pain; an important addition to the pain literature.”—J. David Sinclair, MD, FRCP (C), DABPM. Anesthesiologist, Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians (Canada), Diplomate of the American Board of Pain Medicine, Independent Consultant for the Management of Chronic Pain, Seattle, WA “In Chronic A Way Out, Dr. Colameco combines current, evidence-based medical information with proven spiritual principles that have saved the lives of millions of suffering addicts. The practical exercises provide a road map to improve lives--not just for patients, but for all of those affected by chronic pain.” --Christopher Johnston, MD, ABFM, ABAM. Addiction Medicine Specialist, New Jersey Medical Director, Pinnacle Treatment Centers

Blueberries
|
["Applewood Books"]
| 3.77 | 26 | 3 |
In his 1915 poem "Blueberries," Pulitzer Prize-winner Robert Frost makes the ordinary experience of picking wild blueberries into an extraordinary endeavor, where you can smell the morning damp and feel the sun on your head and take delight in being the first to discover a blueberry patch ripe for picking. In the poem, Frost also introduces the reader to a poor neighbor family that needs the wild berries they pick to survive. This short work is part of Applewood's "American Roots," series, tactile mementos of American passions by some of America's most famous writers.

The Assassin's Redemption
|
["S.A. Monk"]
| 3.56 | 18 | null |
Recruited as a youth by King Louis IX to serve in his private royal guard, Griffin d''Varden is instead invested into the Knights Templar. Within months of his arrival in Paris, he is sent to the Holy Land. Far from his beloved home in the French Alps, Griffin is trained as an Assassin for the Brotherhood and the King. Ashamed of what he has become, he loses contact with those he has left behind. Catherine d'Isere has adored Griffin all her life. When he leaves home to fulfill his dream of becoming a renown knight of the realm, she expects him to return once he has made a name for himself. When he doesn't, she sets out to find what happened to him. Secretly, she follows her father and twin brother on crusade to Egypt. Griffin soon learns of her arrival. Stationed in the Christian occupied city of Damietta, at the mouth of the Nile delta, he avoids her and her family. When the King and his army march on Cairo, Catherine's brother and father accompany him. Within weeks, the crusade turns disastrous. King Louis and all of his men are captured halfway to their destination and held for ransom in Cairo prisons. Griffin ends up in a prison cell with his fallen comrades. He is given a chance by the traitorous sultana and his Mameluk captors to free himself and Catherine's father and brother if he agrees to assassinate the newest sultan. When he arrives at the Egyptian palace, he discovers Catherine has been captured by bounty hunters and is being held by the sultan. He carries out his mission and kills the sultan before Catherine's eyes, his only consolation being that she doesn't recognize him in his Assassin's garb. Once they escape Cairo, that changes. Fleeing across the desert to Damietta, Catherine finally discovers his identity, but not the secret he diligently keeps from her. As soon as the King is ransomed and surrenders the Egyptian coastal city, Catherine and her family escape to Acre with the royal family aboard a Templar vessel. Catherine remains in the Holy Land as one of the queen's closest friends and ladies-in-waiting. During her stay in Outremer, her relationship with Griffin grows into a dangerous affair that jeopardizes his secret and his status in the Order. When Catherine finally learns what he has been doing for the King and the Brotherhood, her reaction is unexpected. Griffin insists that they end their liaison. The burden of what he has become clashes with his honor. He insists Catherine go home with her family and the King when they eventually depart the Holy Land. Catherine is heartbroken and angry, and she carries a secret home with her that she refuses to share with her family and Griffin. Tormented by her rejection of him, Griffin must decide how he will reconcile with a past that has given him nothing but grief and regret.

The Art of Energy Healing Volume Two Deepening Awareness
|
["Susan Diane Matz"]
| 0 | 0 | 1 |
Healing is not about curing anything, but rather a journey into understanding the why of everything and, ultimately, the why of you. The Art of Energy Healing connects the spiritual with the practical along with explanations of what healing is really about, and how it affects you on a daily basis.
This series of nine books explains Energetic Dynamics, which encompass both the individual Human Energy System, like the chakras and Energy Field, along with an explanation of how energy connects and creates both the planet we live on and the Universe we live in.
This series begins with fundamental explanations of the Energy System and the levels of consciousness. Each book adds more information, from technical foundations, to more advanced and in-depth teachings about energy flow patterns, personal growth processes, group dynamics, working with children, working as a healer, Universal principles and individual evolution.
Everything in life has a meaning, everything. It is in learning to understand yourself at a deeper level that helps you to understand life at a deeper level. Your life is your teacher, and this series of books is just one of the many tools to help bring a little more clarity into understanding the lessons that life has to offer you.

Discovering Your Child's Destiny: Seeing Your Angel in the Marble
|
["Ellyn Davis"]
| 4 | 2 | null |
The great Irish poet William Butler Yeats once said, “Education is not the filling of a bucket, but the lighting of a fire.” Isn’t that what we all aspire to in homeschooling our children—lighting “fires” in their minds and hearts?But how can your homeschooling “light a fire” in your children’s hearts and minds if you don’t have a real grasp of who each child is, what makes them light up, what their strengths, weaknesses, interests and aversions are?When asked how he could carve such a beautiful angel sculpture, Michelangelo is said to have replied, “I see the angel in the marble and set it free.” That’s the real essence of homeschooling—seeing the potential and innate gifting in each of your children and providing them with the resources, tools, and opportunities to help them express all that God has put in them. The Unconventional Homeschooling Guide, DISCOVERING YOUR CHILD’S DESTINY, gives you the knowledge and tools to identify who each child really is, even when it seems like they are just “blocks of marble.”The book guides you in the process of studying your children like Michelangelo studied the block of marble that eventually released an angel. Just as he examined the marble from every conceivable angle, we are going to look at our children from several different perspectives. In Chapter 3 we look at our children according to their temperaments and personality preferences. In Chapter 4, we open ourselves to the possibility that each of our children may have an extraordinary destiny in God. In Chapter 5, we look at spiritual giftings they may have been given. In Chapter 8 we consider them as works of art we co-create with God. In Chapters 9 through 11 we consider releasing our children from our own expectations and trusting what God has put in them and we visualize the future we want them to have. And finally, in Chapters 12 and 13, we find exercises to reinforce all we’ve learned and to help us “see” and “release” our angels from their marble.Written by Ellyn Davis, a pioneer in the Christian homeschooling movement, this is the first book in a series of Unconventional Homeschooling Guides for Christian home educators. The book challenges you to survey your children like Michelangelo surveyed the blocks of marble that eventually become masterpieces of sculpture. In DISCOVERING YOUR CHILD’S DESTINY, each child is “known” in terms of his (or her) personality and temperament, his spiritual calling and gifts, his interests and desires. The book closes with a series of exercises parents can undertake to know their children better and recommends helpful resources.

Military Observer: Diary of a Middle East Peacekeeper
|
["Allan A. Murray"]
| 2.67 | 3 | 1 |
Australia, as a foundation member of the United Nations, has a strong track record of supporting peacemaking and peacekeeping missions; the most notable prior to the 1990s is Korea but also included are Kashmir, Congo, Sinai, Iran/Iraq and Namibia. In the 1990s, this participation proliferated as the end of the Cold War enabled greater interventionism from the United Nations.
One mission that Australia has supported since 1956 is the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO) in the Middle East. In mid-1991, I was selected to serve with UNTSO, known as Operation PALLADIN by Australia. In the next 12 months, Australia further committed to United Nations Missions in Western Sahara, Cambodia, Somalia and the former Yugoslavia.
I decide to maintain a diary. It became a summary of my experience but also collected my observations of United Nations peacekeeping service, living in Muslim and Jewish societies and military conflict in the Middle East.
I was fortunate in a number of regards. I was accompanied by my wife; we lived in both Damascus and northern Israel; it was before we had children, freeing us to travel widely; and I served on both the Golan Heights and in the Israeli Controlled Area of south Lebanon.
The Golan Heights from April to October 1992 was a benign environment. But it provided good training. My period in south Lebanon – following the election by Israel of a Labour Government and the commencement of a new peace initiative – was a different environment. The peace initiative energized the insurgency in south Lebanon after August 1992. The period from October 1992 to April 1993 saw almost daily clashes in the Israeli Controlled Area between Israeli forces and armed elements and regular loss of life.

. . . hold a gentle thought: Soft Prose, Poetry & Short Stories
|
["Gene Nay"]
| 4.5 | 2 | 1 |
"Many years ago suffering a series of deep personal losses, Gene wanted to die and planned to. Yet he knew that was wrong. Writing about these feelings eased the pain. Desperate to be able to hold some gentle thoughts, he began writing in earnest, reinterpreting these happenings for himself. Soon he could see other points of view which enabled him to cope. Focusing on setting these experiences to rhythm and rhyme took his attention from the pain. As his interest and capabilities grew so did his collection of writings. Sharing these words seemed to help others too. People had constantly encouraged him to publish. He began giving book signings, readings and public speaking. They would also return bringing others to hear these words. He wondered if he could put into prose, poetry and/or short stories the issues that he found difficult to deal with. If an incident was too sensitive, painful or joyous to think about, could he make it easier to cope with? Through the exercise of putting these experiences into one or more of these three choices of expression he became able to deal with his most extraordinary difficulties. Whether positive or negative, he could cope! Some readers say that their applying these principles gets good results. Now he just wants to put these words into the ears, hands and hearts of those who also seek to be able to . . .
. . . hold a gentle thought."

The Bible: The Truth About Psychics & Spiritual Gifts
|
["Kevin Schoeppel"]
| 3.89 | 9 | 3 |
Kevin Schoeppel, a seventeen year old Christian boy, tries to make conversation with fifteen year old Tami, while the two are on a church youth retreat together. The conversation takes an unexpected turn for Kevin when Tami tells him that she already knows the future, and tells him what’s going to happen.When three weeks have passed, and all of Tami’s predictions have come true, a very awestruck Kevin is filled with questions. He begins by asking Tami how she knows the future. She replies, “I don’t know. I just know.” Kevin then turns to one of the youth leaders in his church for answers and is told, “That is not of God. I would stay away from that person.”That was enough for Kevin. When you’re a Christian in love with a beautiful psychic, what do you do? Kevin began by questioning his beliefs, including whether the Bible was really God’s Word or not. Once he had enough evidence to be fully convinced that the Bible really was God’s Word, Kevin studied it thoroughly to find out what it really had to say about psychics, mediums, spiritual gifts, spirits, the afterlife, and the Holy Spirit. And he got surprising answers that didn’t match the traditional Christian beliefs that he had been raised with.In The The Truth About Psychics & Spiritual Gifts, Kevin shares with you what he learned — directly from the • That psychic and mediumship abilities are true spiritual gifts • That God does not hate psychics — he loves them, just as they are • We must test everything, and hold on to what is good • Why no one can Biblically prove that all psychic ability comes from demons• Where we all will go when we depart our physical lives• How a medium succeeded in healing what a pastor could not heal• If you should charge money or not for using your spiritual gift• What spiritual gifts exist, what they are for, how we receive them, and how we discover which ones we have— along with Kevin’s own stories of his encounters with psychics and mediums.

Darlene's Silver Streak and The Bradford Model T Girls
|
["John G. Butte"]
| 4.23 | 22 | 3 |
Bill and Daisy Dorgan ran the popular Dorgan’s Café on Main Street in Bradford, Illinois, for almost 50 years. Legend has it that Bill bought a six-year-old 1926 Ford Model T for his daughter Darlene, who immediately organized a summer vacation, inviting several girlfriends to join her camping in Devil’s Lake, Wisconsin. Seven more summer trips, from 1936 through 1942, took these “twenty-something” girls through 44 states, Canada, and Mexico in an era when such travel by a group of coeds was not common. These gals seemed to find adventure at every turn, attending World’s Fairs in New York and San Francisco and traveling to Canada to see the Dionne Quintuplets. Los Angeles, New Orleans, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Toronto, and Montreal were all visited. They slept in jails and schoolyards along the way. They made the acquaintance of movies stars and moguls, as well as dignitaries and corporate leaders. There was a special, enduring relationship that developed between the girls and Henry Ford, who met with them twice. Most Model T’s were black, but not Darlene’s! She painted it silver, and on each trip, hand-painted red signage—called “Lizzie Labeling”—adorned the hood, fenders, and doors, telling the story of where the girls had been or were going. The car was nicknamed the Silver Streak. At first, the girls referred to themselves as the Bradford Model T Girls. Later they called themselves the Gypsy Coeds, a name that seemed to fit them well. There was a strong kindred spirit among the girls and an equally strong love for the old Model T that carried them on their road trips. Relive those eight adventurous summer vacations recreated from diaries, letters, newspaper accounts, and interviews, and learn how the author eventually found the Silver Streak, a true piece of Americana, and returned it to Central Illinois.

When Time Finally Runs Out
|
["Peter Bellone"]
| 3 | 1 | 1 |
Time! What is it? Time is the measuring device that man uses to account for the passing of the seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, and years of our lives. As 2 Peter 3:8 says: But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day [is] as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. This ratio of 1:1000 shows us that God perceives time much more differently than we do. However, God is aware of what time means to us, and therefore when Adam, Eve, and the serpent sinned in the Garden of Eden, God gave all three of them a six thousand-year sentence. This sentence joined man and Satan at the hip, with man being subject to Satan, whose way of life is 180 degrees opposite from God's way of life.
Modern man is well aware that the six thousand years should be coming to a close shortly. The problem is that man lost track of time due to the ebb and flow of civilization, and the many different ways that man has used to count time.
Recognizing that the Bible is a good source of timeline information, man attempts to look into the future by going back to the past. To do so, he counts the years from the creation of Adam, then comes forward to the present time. To do this is using faulty logic that leads to a faulty conclusion. The result: Man still does not know when this sentence will come to an end!
Thanks to God and His wisdom, When Time Finally Runs Out reveals the day and hour when man first disobeyed God, and when the punishment began. Likewise, it also reveals the year, day, and hour when the six thousand-year punishment will be fulfilled.
In addition, the birth and death of Jesus is covered quite extensively because these times help us come to the conclusion in this book. While God has established a prohibition against us knowing the day and hour when Jesus the Christ will return, there is no such prohibition in knowing when the time of our sentence ends. This time is short-short enough that you will be amazed to learn when time finally runs out.
