Описание:
"If one thought created the universe, then who was the first to think?"
The Other Sideis a mystery and fantasy novel that delves into a parallel world that almost completely reflects our own.
If people reflect us, then what could we say about our emotions? Is our sadness a result of their happiness?

He was forcibly enrolled in an institution known as the Earthshine Facility. Therapists help patients like him cope and adapt to their illness.
Despite his years of treatments...Leon's family and friends would hear his ongoing complaints about this devilish voice in his mind...
One that would taunt him...
One that would tease him...

This reasoning makes the authorities in Leon's neighborhood believe that he is the person who assaulted a kind young girl by the name of Alllie Reincath.
Leon is the only one who believes that he did not harm this girl.
The citizens of Aurorae County say otherwise.
Find the truth of Leon's innocence, on The Other Side.
Описание: Literary Nonfiction. Italian American History. Luigi Del Bianco may not be a household name to many historians, but he should be.

This book will be an inspiration to Italian Americans everywhere, and sheds new light on the role of Italians in America's history.--Marilyn Borner

Описание: Benjamin Disraeli and William Ewart Gladstone are without doubt the two most iconic figures of Victorian politics. Their distinctly different personalities and policies led to 28 years of bitter political rivalry. For the first time, this book provides the full story of their rivalry and its origins, comparing the upbringing, education and personalities of the two leaders, as well as their political careers. Dick Leonard considers the impact of religion on the two men, their contrasting oratorical skills, their attitudes to political and social reform, foreign affairs and imperialism as well as their relations with Queen Victoria. In their private lives he sheds new light on Gladstone's guilt-ridden obsession with 'reforming' prostitutes, and Disraeli's almost completely successful efforts to conceal the existence of two illegitimate children. Providing important new perspectives on the two towering political characters of the Victorian Age, this book will be essential reading for anyone interested in nineteenth century British history and politics.
Описание: We are living longer. Public health advances, improved technology, and medicine have evolved to lengthen our lifespans. Life expectancy in the U.S. is nearing 80 years old This means most of us will not die suddenly as in the past. Instead, we'll likely die from a chronic disease we've been living with for months, years or decades. When we recognized that for most of us, a gradual death is what we can expect, we gain the opportunity to take control, or at least gain an understanding of what is likely to occur and how we can deal with it.
We prepare extensively for the birth of our children. A nine-month pregnancy gives us time to read up on what to expect, to buy things, and rearrange our living space. The months of expectation also gives us time to adapt to the physical and emotional changes that are occurring. Why wouldn't we prepare for our own and our loved one's death in a similar way? This book covers facts and plans to overcome our hesitance and fear of thinking about what a gradual death might look like. It provides the reader with a template for the common phases of a gradual death and information about what will likely occur. It's for people who aren't medically trained but are curious about how to approach what naturally happens at the end of a life.PACE is a model that differentiates four phases people go through when dying gradually.P = PARTNERING: This phase is similar to many partnerships, where two people work equally but with different specialties, sharing in most decisions and work.A = ASSISTING: This phase is when the dying person allows or asks the caregiver to make decisions and needs assistance with daily activities.C = CARING: This phase is when the caregiver makes all decisions and is responsible for all daily activities.E = ENDING: In this phase, as the dying person disengages with this world, the caregiver remains in the decision-making role and is responsible for all decisions and work.Checklists and tips are provided for each phase to help with planning and expectations. There is something for everyone (the dying person, their caregiver and their family) in each phase of this informative book. The process of dying doesn't have to be isolating and scary, if we understand there is A PACE Toward Peace.

Описание: Have you ever asked yourself why you are on planet Earth? And what the ultimate purpose for your life might be? Well, Jack Canfield asked himself this very question and came up with a surprising answer--part of which included a vision revealing that he is part of a Golden Motorcycle Gang--a gang whose intent is to have fun, but also to make significant contributions to the well-being of humanity. During a joyful dinner many years ago in Santa Barbara, California, Jack told his friend William Gladstone about the Gang. Upon hearing this account, William had an epiphany that Jack's story held a powerful underlying truth not only explaining Jack's true purpose, but William's as well. For more than ten years, William encouraged Jack to write a book based on the story of the Gang, so they have now collaborated on this work to show you its relevance to this critical moment in the history of human civilization . . . and also to you, personally. As you read, you will be introduced to some of the extraordinary members of the Golden Motorcycle Gang, including visionary thinkers such as Barbara Marx Hubbard, the originator of the concept of Conscious Evolution. The mystery and adventure inherent in this book reveals that there is now the opportunity for all of us on planet Earth to make a quantum leap in real time toward choosing the actual course of our evolution. Along the way, we are meant to experience the joy that comes from recognizing who we really are. Perhaps, as you embark on Jack's journey along with him . . . you will find that you are also a member of the Golden Motorcycle Gang! So get ready for the adventure of your life!

Max Gladstone's Craft Sequence chronicles the epic struggle to build a just society in a modern fantasy world. The great city of Alt Coulumb is in crisis. The moon goddess Seril, long thought dead, is back--and the people of Alt Coulumb aren't happy. Protests rock the city, and Kos Everburning's creditors attempt a hostile takeover of the fire god's church. Tara Abernathy, the god's in-house Craftswoman, must defend the church against the world's fiercest necromantic firm--and against her old classmate, a rising star in the Craftwork world. As if that weren't enough, Cat and Raz, supporting characters from Three Parts Dead, are back too, fighting monster pirates; skeleton kings drink frozen cocktails, defying several principles of anatomy; jails, hospitals, and temples are broken into and out of; choirs of flame sing over Alt Coulumb; demons pose significant problems; a farmers' market proves more important to world affairs than seems likely; doctors of theology strike back; Monk-Technician Abelard performs several miracles; The Rats! play Walsh's Place; and dragons give almost-helpful counsel. Set in a phenomenally built world in which lawyers ride lightning bolts, souls are currency, and cities are powered by the remains of fallen gods, Max Gladstone's Craft Sequence introduces readers to a modern fantasy landscape and an epic struggle to build a just society.
