Drawing on the same cutting-edge psychology presented in author David Carbonell's The Worry Trick, this irreverent, on-the-go guide offers ten powerful "counter-intuitive" strategies to help you put worry in its place-anytime, anywhere.Anxiety is a powerful force. It makes us question our decisions and ourselves, worry about the future, and it fills our days with dread and emotional turbulence. But what if we understood that anxiety is merely a trick of the mind, trying to convince us we're in danger? Anxiety is like a magician behind the curtain, playing subtle tricks on us to convince us that we're in danger when we're not. When we understand this, we can observe our anxious feelings with some distance.Based on the author's popular book, The Worry Trick, this helpful and humorous guide identifies the "trick" of chronic anxiety, and provides the ten most powerful techniques based in...

Life Changing Helen Pilcher
Type : epub |
Size : 5.28 MB |
English |
Descirption: For the last three billion years or so, life on Earth has been shaped by natural forces. Evolution happens slowly, with species crafted by natural selection across millennia. Then, a few hundred thousand years ago, along came a bolshie, big-brained, bipedal primate we now call 'Homo sapiens', and with that the Earth's natural history came to an abrupt end.
We are now living through the post-natural phase, where the fate of all living things is irrevocably intertwined with our own. We domesticated animals to suit our needs, and altered their DNA - wolves became dogs to help us hunt and junglefowl became chickens to provide us with eggs. As our knowledge grew we found new ways to tailor the DNA of animals more precisely; we've now cloned security officer dogs and created a little glow-in-the-dark fish - the world's first genetically modified pet. The breakthroughs continue.
Through climate change, humans have now affected even the most remote environments and their...

Descirption: In the summer of 1896, a grand Swiss spa hotel becomes a refuge for Nika, a penniless beauty whose tortured past has left her unable to speak. While working in the manicured gardens, she becomes a muse to the celebrated painter Giovanni Segantini, who takes her under his wing.
Although he's married, the two bond closely, and beneath his gaze Nika blossoms. She opens her heart to Segantini, serving as the muse for his luminous masterwork La Vanità, and through his patience recovers her voice. The secret between them is her sole material possession: a golden locket with clues to her mysterious heritage.
How will Nika learn the hidden secrets of the locket and uncover her origins? And what path awaits her once the facts are revealed? As her ties to Segantini grow ever more complex, her search for love and truth becomes as perilous as the quest for an alpine summit-and her destiny is rewritten on the journey.

The Killing Tide
Type : epub |
Size : 578.57 KB |
English |
9781250173386 |
Descirption: The Killing Tide by Jean-Luc Bannalec is the fifth novel in the internationally bestselling Commissaire Dupin series.
Deep sea fishers, dolphin researchers, smugglers, and an island shrouded in myth in the middle of the rough Atlantic ocean: Commissaire Dupin had sworn he would never again investigate on the ocean, but his fifth case takes him offshore, off the west coast of Brittany on a beautifully sunny day in June. He lands on the unique Île de Sein, populated by more rabbits than people, where the hairdresser arrives by boat and which was formerly inhabited by powerful witches and even the devil himself. In front of this impressive backdrop―between the islands of Molène, Ouessant, and the bay of Douarnenez―Dupin and his team follow a puzzling case that pushes them to their very limits.

Review
"Superb...Bannelec has concocted the perfect blend of security officer procedural and travelogue."― Publishers Weekly (starred review) "As captivating and harrowing as its predecessors. An intriguingly constructed mystery...Bannalec's latest delivers on every level."― Booklist (starred review) "Dupin's drive to catch the killer quickly is balanced by his desire to enjoy the local cafes and the breathtaking Breton coast just a little bit longer. And as usual, justice triumphs. More of Bannalec's winning formula: a healthy chunk of Brittany with a bracing dash of murder."― Kirkus Revie
Praise for the series: "Bannelec's Breton adventures are some of the best French local color going, with a deft blend of puzzle, personality, and description of the indescribable."― Kirkus Revie on The Fleur de Sel Murders
"Well-drawn, complex characters, the lovingly described countryside, and the area's culinary bounty make this a winner. Some fans will be inspired to take their next vacation in Brittany."― Publishers Weekl y on The Fleur de Sel Murders
"Jean-Luc Bannalec... has channeled his affection for the westernmost region of France into a charming first mystery." ― New York Times Book Review on Death in Brittany "A setting to die for... The star of the mystery, though, is Brittany." ― Booklist (starred review) on Death in Brittany
About the Author
International bestselling author JEAN-LUC BANNALEC divides his time between Germany and coastal Brittany, France. He is also the author of Death in Brittany, Murder on Brittany Shores, The Fleur de Sel Murders, and The Missing Corpse.

A History of the Mediterranean Air War 1940 1945 North Africa
Type : epub |
Size : 33.76 MB |
English |
Descirption: This first volume in the seminal series on World War II aerial combat, pilots, and tactics that "reads like an encyclopedia on the subject" (Portland Book Review). In the early days of World War II, both Allied and Axis powers extended the theater of war to North Africa, where hard-fought battles were conducted in the harsh desert. But before anyone could claim victory on the ground, they had to hold dominion in the air. Here, historian Christopher Shores has combined his books Fighters over the Desert and Fighters over Tunisia into one volume, as well as adding updated information about the deadly fighter aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft, and maritime units active in the Mediterranean. Full of in-depth research and featuring essential maps, this is "an intimate introspection by these men of their experiences and the respect that they shared not only for each other but also their adversaries" (The Military Reviewer).

A Waste of Blood and Treasure The 1799 Anglo Russian Invasion of the Netherlands
Type : epub |
Size : 4.03 MB |
English |
Descirption: With the Netherlands overrun by French Republican forces, the British and Russian governments sent an allied army of 48,000 men under the Duke of York to liberate the country and restore the House of Orange.
The largest operation mounted by Pitt's ministry during the French Revolutionary Wars, the amphibious expedition involved the first ever direct cooperation between British and Russian forces, embroiled the armies in five full-scale battles, and secured the capture of the Dutch fleet. As Britain's first major continental involvement since 1795, it played a part in shaping the early careers of many famous military commanders of the Napoleonic Wars. In the end, however, the campaign failed spectacularly. Its inglorious end provoked parliamentary outrage and led to diplomatic rupture between Britain and Russia. The Duke of York never commanded an army in the field again.
This book examines British, French, Dutch and Russian sources to reveal a fascinating tale of intrigue,...

Battle of Big Bethel Crucial Clash in Early Civil War Virginia
Type : epub |
Size : 14.52 MB |
English |
Descirption: "A comprehensive study of the Civil War's first major battle . . . well leavened with strategic and political context" (Robert E. L. Krick, author of Staff Officers in Gray). Battle of Big Bethel is the first full-length treatment of the small but consequential June 1861 Virginia battle that reshaped perceptions about what lay in store for the divided nation. The successful Confederate defense reinforced the belief most Southerners held that their martial invincibility and protection of home and hearth were divinely inspired. After initial disbelief and shame, the defeat hardened Northern resolution to preserve their sacred Union. The notion began to take hold that, contrary to popular belief, the war would be difficult and protracted-a belief that was cemented in reality the following month on the plains of Manassas. Years in the making, Battle of Big Bethel relies upon letters, diaries, nepapers,...
