REVIEWS FOR TIMERIPPER 5.0 out of 5 stars Great story! Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2021 I'm unbelievably glad I took the chance on this book. I can't lie, I was a little nervous about reading this book at first. I'm not much of a sciencey/serious person, so I wasn't sure if it would work for me, but I'm a sucker for anything even vaguely historical. I just can't help it. Especially 1888 Whitechapel history. I was worried some of the more futuristic stuff would turn me off or be too confusing for me but I understood 99% of it. And trust me when I say that's a big deal. I've read some of McCluskey's other books, so I knew I generally enjoyed his writing style, and I wasn't disappointed at all. I loved the twist on the old theory of Jack. I was completely caught off guard by what was going on and I really can't give enough praise for this story. McCluskey's creativity and ability to really show you the story really came through. I liked the idea of a religious cult, I mean, who doesn't right? It was just crazy enough to be plausible. Overall, great story, great writing, great creativity and unique enough to stand above the rest. Well ...

Desentrañando el libro "El paraíso está bajo los pies de los gobiernos" emplea una sorprendente metáfora para describir la profunda responsabilidad y el potencial de los gobiernos para dar forma al bienestar de la sociedad. Esta frase resume poéticamente la idea de que así como la tierra nos sustenta físicamente, la buena gobernanza es la base que sostiene la estructura moral y ética de una sociedad. El libro explora la integración de Maqasid, un marco derivado de la jurisprudencia islámica, en la gobernanza moderna, argumentando que este enfoque puede conducir a una gestión social más ética, justa y humana. La Esencia (80/20) • Marco Maqasid: El núcleo del libro gira en torno al marco Maqasid, que prioriza la protección y el cumplimiento de intereses humanos esenciales como la vida, la religión, el intelecto, la progenie y la propiedad. Raji sugiere que los gobiernos pueden lograr una mejor gobernanza alineando las políticas con estos principios universales, que están inherentemente diseñados para promover una sociedad equilibrada y floreciente. • Gobernanza ética: Raji sostiene que la ausencia de una base ética en la gobernanza conduce a desigualdades e injusticias sociales. Al incorporar los principios Maqasid en la formulación de políticas, los líderes pueden fomentar un modelo de gobernanza que no sólo cumpla con los objetivos económicos y políticos sino que también mejore el bienestar espiritual y moral de la comunidad. • Perspectivas globales e históricas: el libro se basa en varios ejemplos globales y contextos históricos para ilustrar cómo ha sido beneficiosa la integración de valores espirituales en la gobernanza secular.

Stories from this period focus especially on the emotional stresses that separate parents from their children. This ebook contains 24 stories by Jack Matthews which have never been collected, making it the author's largest story collection. Matthews picked "Boxes of Time" as the title for this collection because each story reveals the drama of worlds long since gone but whose dreams and fears and anxieties still resonate today.

Do You Want a Professional Dream, a Dystopian Fantasy, and an Unforgettable Ride? Bravely Trek Through the Tantalizing Tales of Planet D'ot. A Journey brought to you by Lars Rey. Are you bored by the "rote" novels coming your way? Bore no more. This page-turner will bring you to an escape of your own, and a new vision. Are too many of your books "forgettable"? If so, DOTIAN DREAMS is for you. "Imagine a world where love is a criminal offense. So very feared, that any sign of affection (infection as the NOV call it) meant the death penalty. With one exception, mothers of young children were given temporary exceptions. However, once the child was old enough detoxification had to occur, for both mother and child. Martha belonged to a secret organization called LERN. In the words of the NOV, she was a love-lover. Having the semi-freedom to love her son Jan was a blessing. Unfortunately, the bond created would make the Love-Deprogramming school all that much more difficult. Failing the program meant imprisonment and permanent separation of mother and child (mostly because mothers tended to kill their children after completing their extra de-programming). Either way, the torture methods were perfected to break even the strongest love-lover. All the members of LERN looked forward to the day when they could escape and create their own colony. No one really knew if and when that time would come. Even if the NOV hunters didn't catch them and execute them on the spot, then they'd surely die in the wilderness. Wild animals, lack of food, no clean water, and no medications to relieve effects of the plagues. Given these harsh conditions, even the strongest colony would implode, love-lovers or not. I don't want to spoil anything for readers who have not yet picked up this book but it looks like more is going to happen in this story. I can't wait. The author has done a very good job of creating a solid three dimensional world for the reader with characters that have depth. ...

Making a living in a lawless city where gods are real, dragons are traffic hazards, and buildings move on their own can feel downright impossible. Good thing freelance mage Opal Yong-ae has never let little things like impossibility stop her. She's found a way to put her overpriced magical art history degree to use as a Cleaner: a contract municipal employee who empties out abandoned apartments and resells the unusual treasures she finds inside for a profit. It's not a pretty job, or a safe one--there's a reason she wears bite-proof gloves--but when you're neck-deep in debt to a very magical, very nasty individual, you can't be picky about where the money comes from. But even Opal's low standards are put to the test when the only thing of value in her latest apartment is the body of the previous tenant. Dealing with the dead isn't technically part of her job, but this mage died hiding a secret that could be worth a lot of money, and Opal's the only one who knows. With debts she can't pay due at the end of the week, this could be the big break she's been waiting for, but in a city of runaway magic where getting in over your head generally means losing it, the cost of chasing this opportunity might be more than Opal can survive.

Frameworks for Life: A Personal Operating System for Balanced and Effective Living by Alan Huang (1 Review)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Frameworks for Life is the "user's manual for life" that the author wishes he was given. Management consultant and finance professional Alan Huang shows you how to spend your limited time, energy, and money wisely to achieve balance and health in your life. This book discusses a wide range of topics from the practical to the philosophical, including ways to improve your physical and mental health, strengthen your interpersonal relationships, and find meaning in your life. The book's wide range of topics are inspired by Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, the greatest framework for understanding our human motivations and needs (in the author's humble opinion). Each chapter provides an overview of a single topic, distilling the best contemporary thinking, then translates that knowledge into routine habits that can help you live your life more effectively, efficiently, and meaningfully. To build an understanding of each topic, the book takes a first principles approach. First, the topic is defined and a useful goal identified. Next, the topic is explained using frameworks, which are analytical tools that provide an organized holistic overview of a concept, system, or process. Based on that understanding, practical suggestions for improving one's effectiveness are shared. Table of contents: • Introduction • I. Identifying and Pursuing What's Most Important • 1.

Surviving Doodahville by Ashley Fontainne (15 Reviews)    Price verified 43 minutes ago

"Filled with powerful scenes and great characters! Brings the '83 Old South to vivid life. One of my all-time favorite reads! Loved it! ~ Janelle Taylor, NY Times Bestselling author "... full of surprises, twists, turns and none of them are predictable. This is a fun read with entertaining events that will have you laughing out loud and perhaps remembering your past. But the story's also a bit of history about racial injustice in the 1980's and a bit of gender bias with believable examples of unfair treatment set in the past, but still believable today. I recommend... to anyone who enjoys a laugh out loud book that can't be put down as well as one telling the story of cultural past scars." - Gail Kamer for Readers' Favorite "More than just a coming-of-age story or new adult romance, Surviving Doodahville explores family bonds, racial barriers, and just how much some are willing to sacrifice for others. The tale is full of humor, action and a touch of mystery, making it a fun romp into the past." Jeff LaFerney, award-winning author of Jumper The summer of 1983 -- the era of big debt, big hair, and big dreams. Seventeen-year-old Kassandra Lawson is a Southern California girl, enjoying the summer before her high school senior year, thinking life is great. But then tragic news arrives, sending Kee and her parents to Daltville, Arkansas, to a funeral and more news that turns all their lives upside down. An unexpected and unwanted move to the humid, bug-infested south is almost too much to deal with, but she discovers a racist, backwoods, tiny hick community more famous for her aunt's moonshine than for its progressive thinking. What's more is that everyone seems to be hiding secrets. Dangerous ones. Illegal ones. Violent ones. When her family arrives, the dominoes start falling and the intrigue and suspense build to a remarkable ending. A surprise gift, a boy, and revealed town secrets help Kee, her family, and her small community to learn, grow, and find love.
