This book was released on with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bare-chested Charlton Heston sitting on a horse staring up at the Statue of Liberty. Naked high school girls frolicking in a locker room a moment before transforming into an unholy chanting mob of plug-it-up nastiness. Scorpio dementedly forcing a busload of kidnapped kids to sing nursery rhymes. And an ever so slightly chubby Kansas farm girl telling us there’s no place like home... Movies, eh? What would we do without ’em? Probably watch more TV shows for a start.

There’s even some tongue-in-cheek appreciation of the God-like Steven Seagal. So settle back, forget about identity politics and the prevailing lefty narrative, and immerse yourself in a book that values celluloid entertainment above all else. Or as Rob Reiner says at the start of the immortal Spinal Tap: “Enough of my yakking. Let’s boogie.”

This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 2068 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They are the Others--the vampires, mages, and werewolves once thought to exist only in our imaginations. Now they're stepping out of the shadows, and nothing in our world will ever be the same again... Hunted By The Others In A Town Like This, Being A P.I. Can Be Murder Shiarra Waynest's detective work was dangerous enough when her client base was strictly mortal. But ailing finances have forced her to accept a lucrative case that could save her firm--if it doesn't kill her first. Shiarra has signed on to work for a high-level mage to recover an ancient artifact owned by one of New York's most powerful vampires. As soon as Shiarra meets sexy, mesmerizing vamp Alec Royce, she knows her assignment is even more complicated than she thought. With a clandestine anti-Other group trying to recruit her, and magi being eliminated, Shiarra needs back-up and enlists her ex-boyfriend--a werewolf whose non-furry form is disarmingly appealing--and a nerdy mage with surprising talents. But it may not be enough. In a city where the undead roam, magic rules, and even the Others aren't always what they seem, Shiarra has just become the secret weapon in a battle between good and evil--whether she likes it or not... Taken By The Others Once, New York P.I. Shiarra Waynest's most pressing problem was keeping her agency afloat. Now she's dealing with two dangerous, seductive vampires who have been enemies for centuries. The only thing Max Carlyle and Alec Royce agree on is that they both want Shia--for very different reasons. Max is determined to destroy Shia for killing his progeny, while Royce's interest is a lot more personal. That's not sitting well with Shia's werewolf boyfriend, Chaz. As the feud between Max and Royce gets ever more deadly, a powerful vampire-hunting faction is urging Shia to join their side. Shia has always believed vamps were the bad guys, but she's discovering unexpected shades of grey that are about to redefine her friends, her loyalties--and even her desires... Decieved By The Others Shiarra's relationship with sexy werewolf Chaz may be somewhat unconventional. Still, after a few bumps, Shia is finally ready to get serious. That means meeting family--or in this case, bringing Chaz's entire werewolf pack along for a rollicking full-moon weekend in the Catskills. Soon after they arrive, threatening notes appear, warning Chaz to go home. Then their cabin is ransacked. Shia starts digging to find out whether it's the work of upstart teenaged werewolves or something more sinister. Yet as rumors about her vampire connections arouse the pack's hostility, Shia has to contend with other dangers. Not just from an adversary about to make his fatal intentions known, but from a threat that's even closer than she knows... Stalking The Others Once, she was one of the good guys--or as close as a New York P.I. can get. Then Shiarra Waynest was drawn into the world of the Others. Every faction has its own loyalties and agenda. And Shia's recent betrayal by her ex-boyfriend means that she may be on the verge of becoming a rogue werewolf at the next full moon...

Download or read book Taking the Fear and Mystery Out of Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases written by Lyn M. Sinclair and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2017-01-21 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story which began as a courageous decision to choose the unsupported path of alternative healing for breast cancer and a parathyroid tumor simultaneously. The journey evolved into a powerful life lesson about the political, financial, medical, emotional and physical ramifications of the challenges facing me. The desire and efforts to restore my health to normal was intensely rivaled by the unfair circumstances adding an extra burden of stress to the process. After months of researching and experiencing a variety of options available to me, I achieved success in a way that seemed impossible. As I reflected on everything I learned during the intense six months of devoting all my time and attention to achieving my goals, I realized my story had become an interesting tapestry of information worth sharing with others. My original desire was to offer a successful testimony and details about how I achieved healing. Then I realized my lessons gave me a whole new perspective on what it means to be living in a society where healthcare is governed by a controlling monopoly. My story became an exercise in free speech to shed light on the unfair disadvantages and challenges one experiences by refusing to be subjected to a one-sided medical paradigm. In addition to sharing that it is entirely possible to heal root causes of disease without harmful side effects, I give testimony to the treatments I experienced which could easily be part of our mainstream supported health care for everyone.

This book was released on 2021-06-04 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes. As you read this summary, you will learn how some styles of reciprocity are detrimental to professional relationships and, conversely, how others promote them. You will understand why donors are generally better able to develop their careers. You will also discover that : there are three types of reciprocity: give, exchange, take; success involves a significant factor: one's attitude and the way one interacts with others; those who succeed best professionally but also those who succeed the least are donors. There are two types of donors; the donor's style of reciprocity often pays off in the long run because he or she gains confidence over time; takers can be unmasked; having interpersonal skills facilitates the building of a useful network. It is common to attribute professional success to a career-minded individual who strongly dominates his or her colleagues. However, manipulation and violence are not necessary to be promoted to an interesting position. On the contrary, individuals often function as exchangers and do not appreciate being exploited for the exclusive benefit of someone other than themselves. Taking the needs of others into consideration makes it possible to move forward while remaining productive. Acting with generosity is even likely to increase one's potential for success. *Buy now the summary of this book for the modest price of a cup of coffee!
