Have you ever struggled in reaching your goals? This book gives a deep insight into some of the key things that anyone aiming for personal growth and development needs to understand. It discusses how a person can build something beautiful from scratch and also how to maximize the resources at hand in order to get the best results. Unlike other books, this one makes use of one of the most fascinating tools to soak its reader into its content, which is the art of storytelling. Everyone loves a good story. They talk about one that gives them the answers to questions that they have. When dealing with a book that aims to better your existence, the common idea that comes to mind is something like the usual and common 10 ways to do this, 100 ways to do that, or 101 ways to get things done, but because this book is not your regular self-help or life hack book, it undoubtedly has to go beyond the regular things that are all over the place. So, it is pretty simple. The author didn't write the classics: the 100 things no one has ever told you, the 5 habits that will change your life, 101 ideas to improve your life, or something like that, which are the whole number in marketing and communication as a means of persuasion and attention grabbing, and this should suggest to you that this book contains information that you cannot find randomly at any location. A Sneak Peak From The Book: • Manure • Something Is Better Than Nothing • The Week Of The "Giveuppers" • Forrest Gump Method • Routine • The Pale Blue Dot • Ninety Two Percent • Coast To Coast • Enjoy Life • Resistance • What's Your Excuse? • Become A Billionaire • Earn Money With Your Passions And Many More...

The Cowboy's Daughter (Three Sisters Ranch Book 1) by Jamie K. Schmidt (2,991 Reviews)    Price verified 22 minutes ago

She's moved home, but can she move on? One night with professional bull rider Trent Campbell had been everything that Kelly Sullivan had fantasized about. Unfortunately, it cost her everything. When she became pregnant, her father threw her out because she wouldn't tell him the baby's father was his rodeo hero -- the hero who ghosted her when she tried so many times to tell him about their daughter. Trent Campbell never forgot the best night of his life. It was what kept him going when a 2,000-lbs bull ended his career and almost his life. Throughout his long recovery, thinking of Kelly and wishing he still had his stolen phone so he could contact her, were what got him through the tough days -- that, and his bull-headed stubbornness that he'd not only walk again, he'd ride. When Kelly returns to Last Stand, Texas, in a last-ditch effort to keep her family from selling the Three Sisters Ranch, she has a plan to make her father proud of her again by turning part of the land into a portrait studio location. Her father, however, has already temporary leased Trent some land for a rodeo school. Kelly and Trent still have the same explosive chemistry, but now the stakes are higher. If she lets Trent into her life, it won't only be her heart he breaks this time if he leaves, it will be their daughter's.

The novel of this true story is told by Temporary Acting Detective Dan Delaney, seconded to Special Branch, forerunner of the Security Intelligence Service. Special Branch is monitoring the German Club in Auckland, an increasingly shrill supporter of the Nazi regime. The unconventional Auckland theatrical scene has made sensational headlines with the alleged murder of his wife by impresario Eric Mareo, his accuser the bisexual dancer Freda Stark, lover of his deceased partner. A mysterious German/Jewish refugee has been involved in both the German Club and this Bohemian scene, making her a person of interest to the young detective and a recently arrived German diplomat.

Dreams for Dead Bodies: Blackness, Labor, and the Corpus of American Detective Fiction (Class : Culture) by Miriam Michelle Robinson (University of Michigan Press) (1 Review)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Dreams for Dead Bodies: Blackness, Labor, and the Corpus of American Detective Fiction offers new arguments about the origins of detective fiction in the United States, tracing the lineage of the genre back to unexpected texts and uncovering how authors such as Edgar Allan Poe, Mark Twain, Pauline Hopkins, and Rudolph Fisher made use of the genre's puzzle-elements to explore the shifting dynamics of race and labor in America. The author constructs an interracial genealogy of detective fiction to create a nuanced picture of the ways that black and white authors appropriated and cultivated literary conventions that coalesced in a recognizable genre at the turn of the twentieth century. These authors tinkered with detective fiction's puzzle-elements to address a variety of historical contexts, including the exigencies of chattel slavery, the erosion of working-class solidarities by racial and ethnic competition, and accelerated mass production.Dreams for Dead Bodies demonstrates that nineteenth- and early twentieth-century American literature was broadly engaged with detective fiction, and that authors rehearsed and refined its formal elements in literary works typically relegated to the margins of the genre. By looking at these margins, the book argues, we can better understand the origins and cultural functions of American detective fiction.

Finding Genius: Understanding Cancer: 30 Questions, 70 Geniuses, 200+ Amazing Insights by Richard Jacobs (11 Reviews)    Price verified 3 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.

Framed: The New Woman Criminal in British Culture at the Fin de Siecle by Elizabeth Carolyn Miller (University of Michigan Press) Price verified 4 hours ago

Framed uses fin de siècle British crime narrative to pose a highly interesting question: why do female criminal characters tend to be alluring and appealing while fictional male criminals of the era are unsympathetic or even grotesque? In this elegantly argued study, Elizabeth Carolyn Miller addresses this question, examining popular literary and cinematic culture from roughly 1880 to 1914 to shed light on an otherwise overlooked social and cultural type: the conspicuously glamorous New Woman criminal. In so doing, she breaks with the many Foucauldian studies of crime to emphasize the genuinely subversive aspects of these popular female figures. Drawing on a rich body of archival material, Miller argues that the New Woman Criminal exploited iconic elements of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century commodity culture, including cosmetics and clothing, to fashion an illicit identity that enabled her to subvert legal authority in both the public and the private spheres. "This is a truly extraordinary argument, one that will forever alter our view of turn-of-the-century literary culture, and Miller has demonstrated it with an enrapturing series of readings of fictional and filmic criminal figures. In the process, she has filled a gap between feminist studies of the New Woman of the 1890s and more gender-neutral studies of early twentieth-century literary and social change. Her book offers an extraordinarily important new way to think about the changing shape of political culture at the turn of the century." ---John Kucich, Professor of English, Rutgers University "Given the intellectual adventurousness of these chapters, the rich material that the author has brought to bear, and its combination of archival depth and disciplinary range, any reader of this remarkable book will be amply rewarded." ---Jonathan Freedman, Professor of English and American Culture, University of Michigan Elizabeth Carolyn Miller is Assistant Professor of English at the University ...

Over Under Sideways Down: The Flight of The Yardbirds by Alan Clayson (33 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

'The Yardbirds allowed me to improvise a lot in live performance, and I started building a textbook of ideas that I eventually used in Zeppelin' - Jimmy Page Alan Clayson has written the only full length account of the legendary British rock band, who evolved from the sleepy suburbs south of London in the 1960s to spawn three of the world's greatest guitarists - Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck. The Yardbirds had a string of international hits throughout the 1960s, including For Your Love, Shapes of Things and Over Under Sideways Down, and their improvisational on stage "rave-ups" became legendary. Although they were together for just five years, their reach has extended far into rock culture. Noted music historian Alan Clayson charts the band's rise and changing line-up, from the pub and club circuit of the United Kingdom to rock/RnB immortality. This study covers not just the group's five years of frenetic activity in the sixties but also follows the subsequent careers of individual members. Page's monumental success with Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton's rise to guitar god and Beck's formation of The Jeff Beck Group, as well as The Yardbirds' recent reformation, which sees original members Chris Dreja and Jim McCarty touring to packed auditoriums around the world. Long term fan and contemporary Clayson relates the story of this iconic British band with style and perception, placing them as pioneers of psychedelic rock and early hard rock. This is an intimate and fascinating account not only of The Yardbirds themselves but also of an amazingly creative period of British music history. Many rock critics and historians aside from Clayson credit The Yardbirds' influence on generations of pop acts, right through to punk and the Britpop of the nineties. 'The Yardbirds were the first psychedelic band' - Jeff Beck 'There were four rock bands in the world that really counted, and The Yardbirds was one of them' - Simon Napier-Bell Noted rock critic ...
