Their mothers dared all for love... Their sisters did the same. What will the sons do for the women they love... A Wicked Son... Tall, dark and handsome, ridiculously wealthy, and the heir to a title. With so many blessings in his life, for this Wicked Son there is very little point in being anything more than ornamental. Or at least... that is what everyone believes, but this man has a secret. For a man in his position, if anyone discovered he is the mysterious author of The Ghosts of Castle Madruzzo, it would make him a figure of ridicule. His first novel was a tremendous success, and though his sales are excellent, he is aware he has never quite recaptured the dynamism of that first book. His readers don't seem to care and clamour for more, yet a certain lady critic keeps plaguing him with bad reviews. Somehow, she has guessed he is a nobleman, and delights in finding fault with his less elevated characters. A little time undercover should do the trick, to prove to himself, and the lady, that he is nothing if not committed to his art. A lady to be reckoned with... As the eldest-and only sensible sibling-in an overburdened family, Selina Davenport is holding onto sanity by a thread.

Like she can't tell at a glance that he is not the lowly gardener he is purporting to be. The nincompoop. That's not to say she isn't prepared to have a little fun at his expense. A game that gets out of hand... But when an immovable object meets an irresistible challenge, sparks are bound to fly, but will they burn down everything around them?

Carnivore Connoisseur: Discover the Science, Ethics and Culture Behind the Carnivorous Diet Beyond Steak (Raw and Unfiltered) by Camilo Cesarino Price verified 2 hours ago

Welcome to the jungle If you are here, it is because you have heard the call of the flesh, the fat, and the fire. And no, we're not talking about one more diet to fill your Instagram feed with photos of wilted salads or bland smoothies. We're talking about something deeper, more visceral. We're talking about paying tribute to the meat gods, exploring the art and science of the carnivorous diet, and diving into a lifestyle that goes beyond steak. Whether you're a meat lover, a gourmet looking for bold flavors, or just curious to understand what the hell this diet is, you've come to the right place. This book is your guide, your map, and your instruction manual for an epic culinary journey. Let's explore the science, ethics, and culture behind the carnivorous diet, but don't expect a boring lecture. Here we are going to tell you things as they are, without added sugar (because sugar is poison, remember?). Let's talk about how this diet can transform your health, how you can enjoy food like never before, and how you can navigate a world full of myths and misunderstandings about meat consumption. Good food, good eating, is a matter of blood, viscera, and decomposition. It's the sodium curdled pork fat, the stinky triple cream cheeses, the tender gizzards, and the distended livers of young animals. Eating meat is risking the dark, bacterial forces of beef, chicken, cheese, or seafood. The first two hundred and seven Wellfleet clams may put you into a state of ecstasy, but the two hundred and eight may send you to bed with sweats, chills, and vomiting. But, oh, the glory in that risk! Gastronomy is the science of pain, and carnivores are its most devoted followers. Being a carnivorous connoisseur isn't just about eating meat. It's understanding the meat. It's knowing where it comes from, how it's cooked, what flavors it can offer, and how it can transform your health. It's knowing the science behind the diet, but it's also appreciating the ethics and sustainability of ...

Cosmopolitanisms and the Jews (Social History, Popular Culture, And Politics In Germany) by Cathy Gelbin (University of Michigan Press) (3 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

Cosmopolitanisms and the Jews adds significantly to contemporary scholarship on cosmopolitanism by making the experience of Jews central to the discussion, as it traces the evolution of Jewish cosmopolitanism over the last two centuries. The book sets out from an exploration of the nature and cultural-political implications of the shifting perceptions of Jewish mobility and fluidity around 1800, when modern cosmopolitanist discourse arose. Through a series of case studies, the authors analyze the historical and discursive junctures that mark the central paradigm shifts in the Jewish self-image, from the Wandering Jew to the rootless parasite, the cosmopolitan, and the socialist internationalist. Chapters analyze the tensions and dualisms in the constructed relationship between cosmopolitanism and the Jews at particular historical junctures between 1800 and the present, and probe into the relationship between earlier anti-Semitic discourses on Jewish cosmopolitanism and Stalinist rhetoric.

The Forever Pact (The Bachelors of Paradise Valley Book 1) by Jaimie Casey (486 Reviews)    Price verified 3 minutes ago

What's that saying? What can go wrong will go wrong? I think that should be the saying for my life. I'm Pippa Chase. I was about to become Pippa Snothead, but then my fiancé cheated on me, and I called off the wedding... I'm heartbroken, but at least I avoided a horrible last name. And now, I'm on my way to Paradise Valley, Montana, to lick my wounds and figure out what's next in my life. I'm going to live with my childhood best friend, TJ Wyatt, on a ranch he bought. Ever since we were young, we had a pact that if one of us needed the other, we would be there for each other. Granted, TJ and I haven't seen each other since we were thirteen, and we stopped our barrage of letters and emails when we were eighteen. However, we still send Christmas cards yearly, and in one of them, he did say, "If you're ever in this part of the country, drop in." I don't think he meant it as literally as I took it. So, that's how I ended up living on a remote ranch, in a log cabin with a man who didn't seem quite as happy to see me as I thought he would be. But maybe it didn't help that I showed up in my wedding dress, and everyone in town thought I was his new bride. Oops! This may not have been my best decision, but I'm hoping that Paradise Valley can help to mend my broken heart.

The Heart of Shattered Time: The Asoju of Yemaya Asopo by Kyrja Price verified 9 hours ago

Using the mysterious Mimo Stone in the depths of the sea in a desperate attempt to discover how she might help to send the hidden child, Iyika, to the long-ago past, so that the malicious spirits known as the Ajogun would be unable to use the child to take physical form within the Àye - realms of the living - R'ya, herself, was taken to the long-ago past. There, she met a much younger version of Alagbato, the first Olori Guardian of the seven Okin Stones, who told her she must place something of value she had possessed before being named as the Asoju of Yemaya into a container filled with water from the depths of the sea. She chose the three seashells remaining from a necklace she had once made while living alone on the seashore many years ago. Eshu, the Spirit of the Crossroads, later gave these seashells to Idaji to ensure that R'ya would not be sent to the long-ago past when Iyika, the hidden child, was taken there by those who had gathered together to make this task possible. But when the Spirit of the Crossroads gave the seashells to Idaji, he did not anticipate that, in the moment of transition between the present time to the long-ago past, the adult version of Iyika would call R'ya to a place outside of time. Nor did those who made it possible for the child to be taken to the long-ago past know that Idaji had a shade of an Ajogun within him. Because Idaji had the shade within him, and because he was yet holding one of R'ya's seashells when she was taken to the long-ago past, so that she would be anchored to the present, time shattered - creating chaos throughout the Butaka. Although R'ya remained in the present time, Idaji was sent to a time one hundred years in the past. In order to restore time to its natural course, Olokun, the Spirit of the Depths, tells Idaji he must accompany a young man by the name of Asopo - who has just been named as the Asoju of Yemaya - to complete his Ibukun Okin journey to restore the seven Okin Stones throughout the Butaka. ...

Finding Genius: Understanding Cancer: 30 Questions, 70 Geniuses, 200+ Amazing Insights by Richard Jacobs (11 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

This book is for three kinds of audiences: 1) curious amateurs interested in science or overall wellness, 2) anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer or knows someone who has, and 3) medical, bioengineering, or other professionals who have a general knowledge of and curiosity about any or all aspects of cancer biology and treatment, but who are not experts in the field. This book is the result of 70+ interviews of genius-level medical and science professionals, primarily in cancer biology, research, and medicine. They have all been asked the same set of questions, and have answered to the best of their ability and knowledge. What you're about to read is the answers to these questions, not from all the individuals, but from the most interesting 4 to 9 who answered each question. At the start of my journey in science, I already had a B.S. in Chemical Engineering, but that was from 1998, certainly not 2016 when I started. Reading scientific papers was difficult at first - I understood about 10% of what I was reading. As I interviewed more scientists, researchers, clinicians and others, I started to pick up the vocabulary and thinking process needed to read scientific papers. After a year of reading, my comprehension increased, and now stands at around 70%, typically. In the areas of physics or other sciences in which I'm not conversant, I understand about 30%. In advanced math, since it's a language unto itself, especially at high levels, I am back to the 10% level. Apply yourself, and you'll be surprised by what you can learn in a year's time.

Was haben Delphinkinder und Menschenkinder gemeinsam? Beide mögen es nicht, aus ihrer gewohnten Umgebung herausgerissen zu werden. Als Roberta mit ihren Eltern wegen eines Siedlungsbauprojekts umziehen muss, ist ihre Welt nicht mehr in Ordnung. Am meisten stört sie, dass sie ihren besten Freund zurücklassen muss. In der neuen Umgebung hat Roberta nur Erwachsene in ihrem Umfeld und diese haben leider ziemlich wenig Zeit für Roberta. Natürlich findet sie auch hier neue Freunde, aber sie trauert ihrem besten Freund dennoch nach. Zum Glück gibt es dort keine Schule und Roberta kommt vor Schulbeginn wieder zurück in die alte Siedlung. Doch alles hat sich verändert. Die Siedlung und sogar ihr altes Höhlenabteil scheinen geschrumpft zu sein und ihr bester Freund ist auch nicht so, wie sie es erwartet hat. Auch die Schule wird problematisch, denn Roberta hat sich von ihren Freunden im Bauprojekt hauptsächlich Eigenschaften zu eigen gemacht, die für einen Delphin ihres Alters vielleicht unpassend sind. Ihr bester Freund macht ihr durch seine Mentalität noch zusätzlich jede Menge Sorgen, aber sind ihre Sorgen auch gerechtfertigt? Während Roberta aus alter Gewohnheit hauptsächlich in der heimischen Höhle lernt und trainiert, glänzt ihr bester Freund schon seit Jahren in der Siedlung mit Abwesenheit. Man weiß nur, dass er zufriedener wirkt, seit Roberta wieder da ist. Als die Haie frecher werden und nicht nur den Strand, sondern auch die Delphinsiedlung bedrohen, beginnen sich auch gleichzeitig ein paar Geheimnisse zu lüften. Werden Roberta und Ignazius wieder zusammenfinden? Die Vorzeichen sind nicht sehr günstig, denn zu allem Überfluss beginnt bei den Jungdelphinen gerade auch noch die Pubertät. Dieses eBook enthält für Kinder, Jugendliche und jung Gebliebene auch einige Überraschungen. Ich wünsche viel Spaß beim Lesen.

Michael Meeropol argues that the ballooning of the federal budget deficit was not a serious problem in the 1980s, nor were the successful recent efforts to get it under control the basis for the prosperous economy of the mid-1990s. In this controversial book, the author provides a close look at what actually happened to the American economy during the years of the "Reagan Revolution" and reveals that the huge deficits had no negative effect on the economy. It was the other policies of the Reagan years--high interest rates to fight inflation, supply-side tax cuts, reductions in regulation, increased advantages for investors and the wealthy, the unraveling of the safety net for the poor--that were unsuccessful in generating more rapid growth and other economic improvements. Meeropol provides compelling evidence of the failure of the U.S. economy between 1990 and 1994 to generate rising incomes for most of the population or improvements in productivity. This caused, first, the electoral repudiation of President Bush in 1992, followed by a repudiation of President Clinton in the 1994 Congressional elections. The Clinton administration made a half-hearted attempt to reverse the Reagan Revolution in economic policy, but ultimately surrendered to the Republican Congressional majority in 1996 when Clinton promised to balance the budget by 2000 and signed the welfare reform bill. The rapid growth of the economy in 1997 caused surprisingly high government revenues, a dramatic fall in the federal budget deficit, and a brief euphoria evident in an almost uncontrollable stock market boom. Finally, Meeropol argues powerfully that the next recession, certain to come before the end of 1999, will turn the predicted path to budget balance and millennial prosperity into a painful joke on the hubris of public policymakers. Accessibly written as a work of recent history and public policy as much as economics, this book is intended for all Americans interested in issues of economic ...
