Download or read book When the Almond Tree Blossoms written by David Aikman and published by Deep River Books LLC. This book was released on 2016-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Aikman, former senior foreign correspondent for Time magazine, first published When the Almond Tree Blossoms in 1993, as the Cold War ended and political polarization grew in the United States. Twenty-three years later, his novel is as timely as ever. The 2016 presidential election pits unabashed socialists and jaded capitalists against each other, and the nation seems more politically polarized than it's been since the Civil War. This book is a reminder of what's at stake: not only freedom, but life and peace. It's 1998 in this alternative timeline. The US is controlled by a radical, collectivist regime bent on maintaining control despite a growing nuclear threat from the resistance. Douglas Richfield supported the People's Movement early on and now participates in its regime as an assistant adviser for protocol. He's known as an \"activist\" and a \"progressive,\" but he's not entirely at ease with the movement he's always supported. Limitations on freedom of speech, along with military police brutality, give him pause. A conversation with a beautiful stranger only increases his confusion. Perhaps the People's Movement regime is neither as secure nor as noble as he once thought. Just as these doubts begin to form, the regime takes him out of his comfortable office job and into the field, where he must choose once and for all whether his loyalties lie with the People's Movement or the Constitutionalist resistance. Aikman addresses world politics, secret agendas, and ultimately biblical prophecy in this thriller.

Download or read book Van Gogh Flowers written by Vincent Van Gogh and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-11 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: - Digitally restored illustrations- Translated captions- AnnotatedVincent Van Gogh often depicted flowering fields, gardens and floral arrangements through the skilled prism of his own unique vision, from the tulips of his native Holland to the sunflowers, irises and lavender fields of Southern France where he spent his last years. In particular, the years 1887 and 1890 were peak years for his flower paintings. Vincent Van Gogh's short art career provided the world with unparalleled paintings from a troubled genius. It was to be an age of post-Impressionistic color, form and wonderment that the art world discovered only after the master's death. Bouts of anxiety, mental illness and epilepsy may have tormented him and brought about his suicide at the age of 37. But they may also have been catalysts for an emotionality and vibrance in his art that reveals a turbulent search for grace.This volume displays 50 of Van Gogh's finest flower art pieces in a digitally restored state: their eye-popping brilliance and vitality are just as on the day Vincent Van Gogh finished them. Unless otherwise noted, they were originally oil paintings on canvas or wood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love and loss are in the air as the almond blossom falls. Milla has always felt alone in the world. The only child of a distant mother, she has no other family, and even her forthcoming marriage to Paul feels more like settling than true romance. But then a letter arrives, announcing that a Spanish grandmother she knew nothing about has recently died and left her a small shop in Mallorca. Milla is confused and hurt, but determined to uncover the truth. She travels to Palma, where she is enchanted by the beauty of the old town in springtime. At the shop she now owns, she meets Leandro, a handsome local who helps her piece together the story of her grandmother, Abbi. But it's a story full of unexpected secrets, of hidden love and bitter betrayal, and it challenges everything Milla thought she knew about her family--and herself. Faced with these new truths, Milla has a difficult choice to make. Will she go back to Paul and be the person she was before, or follow her heart on a blossom-strewn island?

Download or read book Coconuts Kettlebells written by Noelle Tarr and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2018-08-07 with total page 597 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Achieve lasting health—without cutting calories or following dieting “rules”! Instead of obsessing about the quantity of food you eat, shift your focus to the quality, say Noelle Tarr and Stefani Ruper. The popular hosts of the Well-Fed Women podcast want you to make sure you’re getting enough food so that your body has the fuel and nourishment it needs to support a healthy, long, and energetic life. Noelle and Stefani know firsthand about the ups and downs of dieting. Like many people, they have struggled with confusing and frustrating health issues such as anxiety, infertility, and hormonal imbalance—but when they discovered that the secret to improving wellness was actually more food, they ditched the calorie counters and gave their bodies the nourishment they needed to heal. In the Coconuts and Kettlebells program, you’ll eat at least 2,000 calories a day—setting a minimum intake of fat, protein, and carbohydrates to ensure that your diet is full of nutrients. Noelle and Stefani identify the Big Four foods that cause the most health problems—grains, dairy, vegetable oils, and refined sugar. While many diets require you to eliminate these foods entirely, Coconuts and Kettlebells provides an easy-to-follow step-by-step system to test these foods and determine which you need to cut back on to feel better—and which you can eat without restrictions. To help you discover how your body responds to the Big Four, you’ll choose from two simple 4-week meal plans: one for Butter Lovers, people who tend to feel more satisfied eating higher ratios of fats, and one for Bread Lovers, people who tend to feel more satisfied eating higher ratios of carbs. Each meal plan comes with weekly shopping lists and instructions on how to batch cook, meal prep, and stock the pantry. In addition, you get more than 75 simple and delicious real food recipes, including: • Kale and Bacon Breakfast Skillet • Raspberry-Coconut Smoothie Bowl • Thai Coconut Curry Shrimp • Apple-Chicken Skillet • Moroccan Lamb Meatballs • Grilled Balsamic Flank Steak • Chocolate-Cherry Energy Bites • Lemon-Raspberry Mini Cheesecakes To go along with the meal plans, you’ll find three 4-week fitness plans tailored to beginner, intermediate, and advanced experience levels. Best of all, the workouts can be done anywhere—at your home or on the road—and take no more than 30 minutes each. A comprehensive whole-body program, Coconuts and Kettlebells provides the knowledge and tools you need to be healthy inside and out.

Download or read book Vertigo Ghost written by Fiona Benson and published by Random House. This book was released on 2019-01-03 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: **WINNER OF THE FORWARD PRIZE FOR BEST COLLECTION 2019** **WINNER OF THE ROEHAMPTON PRIZE FOR BEST POETRY COLLECTION 2019** Violence hangs over this book like an electric storm. Beginning with a poem about the teenage dawning of sexuality, Vertigo & Ghost pitches quickly into a long sequence of graphic, stunning pieces about Zeus as a serial rapist, for whom woman are prey and sex is weaponised. These are frank, brilliant, devastating poems of vulnerability and rage, and as Zeus is confronted with aggressions both personal and historical, his house comes crumbling down. A disturbing contemporary world is exposed, in which violent acts against women continue to be perpetrated on a daily – hourly – basis. The book shifts, in its second half, to an intimate and lyrical document of depression and family life. It sounds out the complex and ambivalent terrain of early motherhood – its anxieties and claustrophobias as well as its gifts of tenderness and love – reclaiming the sanctuary of domestic private life, and the right to raise children in peace and safety. Vertigo & Ghost is an important, necessary book, hugely impressive in its range and risk, and dramatic in its currency: a collection that speaks out with clarity, grace and bravery against the abuse of power. **SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2020 RATHBONES FOLIO PRIZE** **SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2019 T.
