epub | 14.92 MB | English | Dr. Daniel G. Amen | 2018
Description: If you want to feel happier, more optimistic, more joyful, and resilient, Dr. Amen's groundbreaking new book is for you.We've all felt anxious, sad, traumatized, grief-stricken, stressed, angry, or hopeless at some point in life. It's perfectly normal to go through emotional crises or have periods when you feel panicked or out of sorts. It is how you respond to these challenges that will make all the difference in how you feel-not just immediately, but also in the long run. Unfortunately, many people turn to self-medicating behaviors, such as overeating, drugs, alcohol, risky sexual behavior, anger, or wasting time on mindless TV, video games, Internet surfing, or shopping. And even though these behaviors may give temporary relief from feeling bad, they usually only prolong and exacerbate the problems-or cause other, more serious ones.Is it possible to feel better-and make it last?Renowned physician, psychiatrist, brain-imaging researcher, and...

The Persians Lost Civilizations Geoffrey Parker Brenda Parker
epub | 17.51 MB | Geoffrey Parker

A Dream Come True The Collected Stories of Juan Carlos Onetti
epub | 2.65 MB | English | Juan Carlos Onetti, Katherine Silver | 1993
Description: A Dream Come True collects the complete stories of Juan Carlos Onetti, presenting his existentialist, complex, and ironic style over the course of his writing career. Onetti was praised by Latin America's greatest authors, and regarded as an inventor of a new form and college of writing.
Juan Carlos Onetti's A Dream Come True depicts a sharp, coherent, literary voice, encompassing Onetti's early stages of writing and his later texts. They span from a few pages in "Avenida de Mayo - Diagonal - Avenida de Mayo" to short novellas, like the celebrated detective story "The Face of Disgrace" and "Death and the Girl," an existential masterpiece that explores the complexity of violence and murder in the mythical town of Santa María. His stories create a world of writing which is both universal and highly local, mediating between philosophical characters and the quotidian melodrama of Uruguayan villages.

Description: "You would be hard-pressed to find a finer new series than Tom Bouman's Henry Farrell novels because of the complexity of the plots or the richness of the characters, but what it really comes down to is just damn good writing." ?Craig Johnson
A headless stranger is found in the woods of Wild Thyme, a small town in the Endless Mountains of Pennsylvania.

Africa Solo My World Record Race from Cairo to Cape Town
epub | 69.17 MB | English | Mark Beaumont | 2016
Description: In the spring of 2015, Mark Beaumont set out from the bustling heart of Cairo on his latest world record attempt - solo, the length of Africa, intending to ride to Cape Town in under 50 days. Seven years since he smashed the world record for cycling round the world, this would be his toughest trip yet. And he would set a new mark that would simply break the limits of endurance.
Despite illness, mechanical faults, attempted robbery and stone-throwing children, as well as dehydration in the deserts and unprecedented levels of exhaustion, Mark completed the journey in just 41 days, 10 hours and 22 minutes, after cycling 6,762 miles, spending 439 hours in the saddle (sometimes up to 16 hours a day) and climbing 190,355 feet through 8 countries. It was an astonishing journey, and one that will fascinate and grip the reader.
From the obvious dangers of Egypt, Sudan and Kenya, over the unpaved, muddy, mountainous roads of Ethiopia, through the beautiful grasslands of...

Barn 8
epub | 3.12 MB | English | Deb Olin Unferth | 2020
Description: An unforgettably exuberant and potent novel by a writer at the height of her powers
Two auditors for the U.S. egg industry go rogue and conceive a plot to steal a million chickens in the middle of the night-an entire egg farm's worth of animals.

No Mercy Colin Forbes

Description:
Review
Daily Mirror Colin Forbes has no equal.
Product Description
Tweed - once top Yard detective, now SIS Deputy Director - reluctantly agrees to check out suspect Michael, urged by his old friend, Superintendent Buchanan. Found by Buchanan seated on steps in Whitehall, Michael uttered only three words. 'I witnessed murder.' One by one four brutally ravaged skeletons are discovered. Two of them on Dartmoor, near the mansion of Drago Volkanian, Armenian founder of a giant supermarket chain and an armaments plant. With Paula Grey, his assistant, Tweed relentlessly pursues the unknown killer. Among others, he interrogates the strange Volkanian clan: Lucinda, Drago's stepdaughter, steely and moody; her elder brother Larry, the company managing director. Again he meets Michael, the younger brother, who is still unable to speak. He is suffering from amnesia - or so say two psychiatrists. Unlike Buchanan, Tweed insists the horrific murders are not random. A link must exist between the four victims. He also suspects a foreign power is involved. The tempo ratchets up ferociously. With Paula, Bob Newman and his team, Tweed travels to Marseilles, where murder is a way of life. A desperate battle takes place on a mysterious island. Escaping the city alive by a hairsbreadth, they race back home. Later they return to Dartmoor. Who is the fiendish killer? One eerie climax follo another. Could Michael be the key?

Wayfinding Michael Bond
epub | 3.8 MB | English | Michael Bond | 1994
Description: '[A] fascinating, incisive account of how the human brain evolved to keep us orientated . . . Beautifully written and researched.' Isabella Tree, author of WildingThe physical world is infinitely complex, yet most of us are able to find our way around it. We can walk through unfamiliar streets while maintaining a sense of direction, take shortcuts along paths we have never used and remember for many years places we have visited only once. These are remarkable achievements.
In Wayfinding, Michael Bond explores how we do it: how our brains make the 'cognitive maps' that keep us orientated, even in places that we don't know. He considers how we relate to places, and asks how our understanding of the world around us affects our psychology and behaviour.
The way we think about physical space has been crucial to our evolution: the ability to navigate over large distances in prehistoric times gave Homo sapiens an advantage over the rest of the human family. Children are instinctive explorers, developing a spatial understanding as they roam. And yet today few of us make use of the wayfaring skills that we inherited from our nomadic ancestors. Most of us have little idea what we may be losing.
Bond seeks an answer to the question of why some of us are so much better at finding our way than others. He also tackles the controversial subject of sex differences in navigation, and finally tries to understand why being lost can be such a devastating psychological experience.
For readers of writers as different as Robert Macfarlane and Oliver Sacks, Wayfinding is a book that can change our sense of ourselves.

Description:
Does any of this sound familiar to you?
1. You sit down every week staring at that blinking cursor wondering what to send your email list , and then a week becomes two or more, and you can't remember when the last time you emailed them was.
2. You have an opt-in incentive or lead magnet that's pretty much doing nothing for you or your business.
3. You have a haphazardly thrown together email sequence that doesn't bring you sales or engagement.
4. You silently cringe every month as you pay out your email service provider because you're not using any of their features.

If you're nodding yes, 300 Email Marketing Tips will give you more than a bare-bones framework to put in place an email marketing strategy for your business.
The premise of this book isn't about growing a big fat email list. Email marketing is NOT list building alone.
You need a coherent, holistic strategy to be successful at it.

</h3>- I have a sequence of emails set up in my evergreen funnel, but I'm not getting
<h3>any sales. Is my product terrible? Should I just scrap it altogether? ***(See
[b] *section 7 for the answer.)*[/b]

Imagine sending emails with confidence knowing exactly the impact that particular email will
have on your subscribers.
That's the power of an email marketing strategy!
If you think email marketing is complicated and something you can't do, my goal with this book is to change that opinion.
If you're struggling with any particular aspect of email marketing, this book will give you a fresh perspective on how you can tackle it too.
