Описание: Here is a feast of wise sayings, remarkable remarks, electrifying passages, and original haiku, each one pointing a way to happiness, inner peace, and the wisdom of the heart. These 500 mind-opening quotations include more than 50 never-published-before gems of Eastern enlightenment by Ming Li and Hokkumeboshi. This bright book also includes Pastore's captivating parable - "The Wise Woman and the Dying Man". Zenlightenment is a book for dreamers and seekers, and for everyone who desires a life of more creativity and love. This wisdom of the heart is epitomized by H.D. Thoreau: "Whenever a man hears it he is young, and Nature is in her Spring," and Hokkumeboshi: "This is not a book/ it's a bright path calling you / home to your true self. "
Описание: By every indication, Gina Pastore was enjoying the fruits of a long marriage after raising two children. She and her husband, Frank, were childhood sweethearts whose lives unfolded like a Hollywood movie: he found fame pitching for the Cincinnati Reds; she tended to the home fires with a son and daughter. It was during Frank's big league career that they turned their priorities from materialism to the things in life that really matter: God, family, and integrity. When Frank retired, he went into ministry, but even such a noble pursuit had its difficulties. Then in 2004, Frank became the host of the Frank Pastore Show on KKLA, a Christian radio station in Los Angeles. His weekday program quickly became popular. And then one afternoonwhile commuting home on his Honda VTX 1800 motorcycletheir lives changed forever in an instant. What follows is Gina's account of the "rest of the story"and a reminder that in times of trouble and tribulation, God calls us to persevere and trust in Him.
Описание: The Ithaca Manual of Style: Writing Fiction and Nonfiction that is Clear, Concise, and Captivating. Most traditional style guides are mere reference books containing countless tedious rules and reminders about SPUG: spelling, punctuation, usage, and grammar. The Ithaca Manual of Style is not about the fanatic obsession with correctness. In a lively style, The Ithaca Manual illuminates how professional writers write with precision, power, energy, and passion. From the book: "What is style? ... It is more, vastly more, than the sum of the diction (the choice and use of words), the syntax (the arrangement of words in phrases and sentences), and the careful crafting of sentences to transmit an idea or evoke a feeling. Style, in great writing, is the sincerest expression of the author's inmost self. Great style is clear, concise, and captivating - nothing is lacking, nothing is superfluous. Whenever we read great writing something genuine in it moves us, in waves of resonance and recognition, with rays of wonder and delight."

Описание:
Alicia Cesare has a lot to celebrate. A recent Parsons School of Design graduate and recipient of a fashion design award, she embarks to Europe on a quest for independence and recognition. Instead, she finds trouble and mayhem and must accept the help of former Marine and real estate magnate, Chase Reardon, the only man she's ever desired. Problem is he barely knew she existed.
That is about to change.
Like a lit match to a firework, rash innocence ignites fierce overprotectiveness and a sizzling romance develops, but Chase is a haunted man. Scarred by an abusive past and stalked by the vengeful head of the Russian drug cartel, he struggles to follow his heart while safeguarding those he loves. When Alicia is unwittingly thrust into his web of relentless violence, Chase is determined--at any cost--to protect her from his past.
As each new sexual awakening binds her closer to him, Alicia is convinced she must help the love of her life defeat the ghosts of his past. It will prove to be an unyielding test of courage and stamina.
Описание: Christopher Pastore traces how Narragansett Bay`s ecology shaped the contours of European habitation, trade, and resource use, and how littoral settlers in turn, over two centuries, transformed a marshy fractal of water and earth into a clearly defined coastline, which proved less able to absorb the blows of human initiative and natural variation.
