Download or read book Pluck the Hanging Gold written by S. A. Abakwue and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-05 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pluck the Hanging Gold is an embodiment of the ideas that make for a Maximum Success. And the "key to Success," I believe, is encouragement. Well, all said and done, there is an underlying factor: You, the reader, are your own "Hanging Gold." You can "Pluck" it for your overall enlightenment; you can let it wither at will, or you can waste it—it's also your choice. The best of all worlds is right in front of you. When I read the book Think and Grow Rich (written by Napoleon Hill), only to note that it has sold more than 20 million copies, an idea came into my mind: If an American can do it with such a degree of success, a Nigerian can do even better.

Book excerpt: The book, DEJE, WHY DID YOU DIE? is divided into five sections, namely, Section A, Section B, Section C, Section D, and, Section E. Section A is composed of sixteen dangerous poems; they are "dangerous" in that they embody the mourning voice of a grieving heart. Section B is the first Immortal Play: Among other things, this is a clear depiction of the past African-Igbo traditional heritage...a true legacy of the African subculture, prior to the arrival of the great "white woman", who fought to abolish the institution in which twin babies were destroyed as an abomination. In Section C, however, are twenty-four social poems. They embody the variable aspects of human ways, among them, the human heritage, and the global traditions. While Section D is another literary script, THE ROYAL WHORE. The Royal Whore describes an African Prince who came to America; while in America, he saw a wonderful world of women, the great wealth of the great land, the power of the white men, the real gods of the American riches, including the terrible power of the American greed... And, Section E is devoted to the African living tradition: Marriage in Iboland. It describes the matrimonial process, right from the INITIAL INQUIRY to the NIGHT OF BRIDE PRICE.

She recently finished her university degree, got a job at the veterinarian’s office in her hometown, and moved into a comfy lakeside home with her best friend. Life was good. Simple. But that all changed on her twenty-fifth birthday. Her body was changing, and not in a normal, human way. Her hair and eyes had a mind of their own, and she was attracting a lot of attention from people with a strange glow to their eyes. She thought she was losing her mind, until her parents told her the truth about her family and the world around her. Shapeshifters were real, and now that she was twenty-five, the beasts were going to be coming for her. And they did… _____________ The Whoopsie Daisy series is a medium-burn paranormal romance / urban fantasy series where the main character may decide to pick more than one mate from a selection of love interests (reverse harem).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[A] lyrical portrait of a central Illinois sustainable farm . . . Brockman covers her subject with hard-earned expertise and organic passion.” —Publishers Weekly Henry’s Farm, run by Henry Brockman, is in central Illinois—some of the richest farming land in the world. There, he and his family—five generations of farmers, including sister Terra, the author—have bucked the traditional agribusiness conventional wisdom by farming in a way that’s sensible, sustainable, and focused on producing healthy, nutritious food in ways that don’t despoil the land. Terra Brockman tells the story of her family and their life on the farm in the form of a year-long memoir (with recipes) that takes readers through each season. Studded with vignettes, digressions, photographs, family stories, and illustrations of the farm’s vivid plant life, the book is a one-of-a-kind treasure that will appeal to readers of Michael Pollan, E. B. White, Gretel Ehrlich, and Sandra Steingraber. “Here’s what you get when the farmer’s sister turns out to be a masterful writer: a compelling argument for rebuilding our nation’s food security that is threaded within a lyrical, funny, suspenseful narrative of life on her brother’s Illinois farm.” —Sandra Steingraber, author of Having Faith “Terra Brockman's new book is such a delightful synergy of poetic inspiration and realistic descriptions of life on a farm. Here is everything from the joy and satisfaction of growing garlic and raising turkeys, to tending fruit trees and growing vegetables . . . Given the recent renewed interest in gardening and urban farming, the appearance of this inspiring book could not be more timely.” —Frederick Kirschenmann, president, Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture
Download or read book The Complete Circles of Gold Trilogy written by Kim Ekemar and published by Bradley & Brougham Publishing House. This book was released on 2024-05-14 with total page 683 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of WWII, Anton Gleichner realizes Germany will lose the war. He decides to steal a fortune in gold objects, escape the Nazi's losing war in Europe and start a new life in South America, where he forms a business arrangement with Charles Munroe. Four decades later, the freelance reporter Dusty Dawes gets an assignment to investigate the cocaine trade from Colombia to the USA. The task takes him across mountains on horseback and by riverboat to the production facilities, and later, by coincidence, to one of the top men directing the Cartagena Cartel. Dusty travels from Salvador to Rio de Janeiro, where he gets romantically involved with the mob boss's mistress. When she disappears, Dusty finds out that she has gone to Paraguay instructed to withdraw a large sum of money in cash. After they meet again in Asunción, they both are imprisoned during an event with Paraguay's president. After Jacie has extricated herself from her detention by implying that Dusty is a terrorist, she withdraws the money as instructed. She then travels on to La Paz where she gets new instructions where to deliver the money. Dusty escapes the jail where he's held, and an alert for his capture is issued. Negotiated by his country's consulate, Dusty is expelled from Paraguay. Knowing that Jacie has traveled to La Paz, he follows her there, only to find that she has traveled on to Peru. After catching up with Jacie, they are chased on the Inca Trail. Inadequately prepared, Dusty and Jacie suffer the harsh and capricious weather conditions trekking above the clouds pursued by two thugs from the Cartagena Cartel. Meanwhile, the brain behind the drug cartel is spinning a web including using Dusty and Jacie to launch crack cocaine in the US. Incorporated in the main story are historical flashbacks that formed the South America that Dusty travels in 1982: The ritual that created the Eldorado myth, the dwellers in the Amazon rainforest, the slave trade from Africa, Alfredo Stroessner's dictatorship, the poor illiterate but astute Simón Patiño who became one of the richest men in the world, the Inca chieftains fratricide, Francisco Pizarro's daring conquest of the Inca empire and the mounting search for the elusive Eldorado kingdom where the streets were considered to be paved with gold.

Download or read book Delphi Complete Harvard Classics and Shelf of Fiction Illustrated written by Charles W. Eliot and published by Delphi Classics. This book was released on 2018-08-01 with total page 33052 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regarded by many as the most comprehensive anthology of all time, ‘The Harvard Classics’ was first published in 1909 under the supervision of the Harvard president Charles W. Eliot. An esteemed academic, Eliot had argued that the elements of a liberal education could be gained by spending 15 minutes a day reading from a collection of books that could fit on a five-foot shelf. The publisher P. F. Collier challenged Eliot to make good on this statement and ‘Dr. Eliot's Five Foot Shelf’ was the result. Eight years later Eliot added a further 20 volumes as a sub-collection titled ‘The Harvard Classics Shelf of Fiction’, offering some of the greatest novels and short stories of world literature. The exhaustive anthology of the ‘The Harvard Classics’ comprises every major literary figure, philosopher, religion, folklore and historical subject up to the twentieth century. This comprehensive eBook presents the complete anthology, with Eliot’s original introductions, numerous illustrations, rare texts and the usual Delphi bonus material.
