Description

MP3 CD Format In the first comprehensive history of the Horde, Marie Favereau shows that the accomplishments of the Mongols extended far beyond war. Favereau takes us inside one of the most powerful sources of cross-border integration in world history. The Horde was the central node in the Eurasian commercial boom of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries and was a conduit for exchanges across thousands of miles. Its unique political regime--a complex power-sharing arrangement among the khan and the nobility--rewarded skillful administrators and diplomats and fostered an economic order that was mobile, organized, and innovative. From its capital at Sarai on the lower Volga River, the Horde provided a governance model for Russia, influenced social practice and state structure across Islamic cultures, disseminated sophisticated theories about the natural world, and introduced novel ideas of religious tolerance. The Horde is the eloquent, ambitious, and definitive portrait of an empire little understood and too readily dismissed. Challenging conceptions of nomads as peripheral to history, Favereau makes clear that we live in a world inherited from the Mongol moment.

What do you do when you're so empty inside, you feel nothing? When all you've ever known was pain? You run. That's what I did-I ran away without once looking back. People say starting over is the best way for a new beginning, but that's far from the truth if you end up back where you began. Sometimes life likes to throw lemons at you really hard until there's nothing left to do but make lemonade. I've known pain, but not the kind that messes with my heart. That is until Logan, Dalton, Tey, and Nicholas came into my life without a warning label. I'm not prepared, and I'm afraid after fighting since day one...they might just be the reason I finally break. The complete series of Dolls and Douchebags books 1-5

In the aftermath of the Civil War, Josephine Weatherly and her mother, Eugenia, struggle to pick up the pieces of their lives when they return to their Virginia plantation. But the bitter realities of life after the war cannot be denied: their home and land are but shells of their previous grandeur; death has claimed her father and brother; and her remaining brother, Daniel, has returned home bitter and broken. The privileged childhood Josephine enjoyed now seems like a long-ago dream. And the God who failed to answer any of her prayers during the war is lost to her as well. Josephine soon realizes that life is now a matter of daily survival -- and recognizes that Lizzie, as one of the few remaining servants, is the one she must rely on to teach her all she needs to know. Josephine's mother, too, vows to rebuild White Oak, but a bitter hatred fuels her. With skill and emotion, Lynn Austin brings to life the difficult years of the Reconstruction era by interweaving the stories of three women -- daughter, mother, and freed slave -- in a riveting tale.

Patricia Ramírez nos ofrece 20 propuestas para dejar de depender de los demás, tomar las riendas de nuestra propia vida y alcanzar así nuestros objetivos personales, profesionales y deportivos. Porque las soluciones a los propios problemas están mucho más cerca de lo que pensábamos: en nuestro propio interior. «Hay una fuerza motriz más poderosa que el vapor, la electricidad y la energía atómica: la voluntad.» Albert Einstein ¿En qué medida nuestro éxito personal, profesional y deportivo depende de nosotros? ¿Son los demás los que nos boicotean, estresan e impiden que alcancemos nuestros sueños? En Cuenta contigo Patricia Ramírez nos propone empezar a trabajar desde el propio interior para lograr nuestros propósitos. Si para empezar a hacer ejercicio necesitamos la compañía de un amigo, si para ser titular en nuestro equipo solo dependemos de la decisión del entrenador, o si para mejorar nuestro inglés esperamos que sea la empresa la que se encargue de nuestra formación, tal vez nunca logremos nuestros propósitos. ¿Por qué? Porque en estos tres casos, parece que el éxito dependerá de lo que los demás hagan por nosotros. Y esto es cómodo, pero poco eficaz. Patricia Ramírez nos propone que aprendamos a responsabilizarnos de nuestros objetivos, emociones y pensamientos; en definitiva, de las cosas que nos ocurren en la vida. Y nos ofrece herramientas prácticas para ese aprendizaje como la sorprendente terapia del caballo-secretaria o la de Teresa de Calcuta. Reseñas: «Leer a Patricia es aprender continuamente. La persona está antes que el deportista, y la gestión de todo lo emocional y el interior de las personas y deportistas son clave. El libro, tremendamente interesante; y ella, un referente para mí.» Xavier Budó, entrenador de tenis «Transitamos temporalmente portando un equipaje cargado de creencias e ideas no siempre idóneas para afrontar el viaje de la vida. En esta obra, Patricia Ramírez nos da claves para replantear y preguntar adecuadamente si aquello que nos acompaña en nuestro trayecto vital es lo más acertado o no. Obra clara, directa y tremendamente inspiradora.» Andoni Luis Aduriz, chef del restaurante Mugaritz «Patricia transmite fácil lo difícil, aporta soluciones a los problemas, y lo mejor de todo es que lo hace con una naturalidad tan cercana que te enganchadesde el primer momento. ¡Sin lugar a dudas se ha convertido en una referente en nuestro deporte!» Alex Corretja, ex tenista «Nadie como Patricia Ramírez para ayudarte a darla mejor versión de ti mismo/a. Con sus "momentos libreta" entrenarás con Patri como si fueras un/a deportista de alta competición... en tu propia vida. Vive el presente (no temerariamente) y haz posible el futuro que quieres.» Juan Carlos Cubeiro, Head of Talent de ManpowerGroup y CEO de Right Management

On account of the superficial points of agreement between Islam and Christianity, many don't see how tremendously deep the divides between them really are, and fewer still have considered the evidence for each faith. How is Jihad different from the Crusades? Can we know the life of Jesus as well as the life of Muhammad? What reason is there to believe in one faith over the other, and what difference can the Gospel really make? In No God but One, New York Times bestselling author Nabeel Qureshi takes readers on a global, historical, yet deeply personal journey to the heart of the world's two largest religions. He explores the claims that each faith makes upon believers' intellects and lives, critically examining the evidence in support of their distinctive beliefs. Fleshed out with stories from the annals of both religions, No God but One unveils the fundamental, enduring conflict between Islam and Christianity--directly addressing controversial topics like Jihad, the Crusades, Sharia, the Trinity, and more. Readers of Qureshi's first book, Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus, will appreciate his careful and respectful comparison of Islam and Christianity. Both religions teach that there is No God but One, but who deserves to be worshiped, Allah or Jesus?

MP3 CD Format The devastation of Pearl Harbor and the American victory at Midway were prelude to a greater challenge: rolling back the vast Japanese Pacific empire, island by island. This masterful history encompasses the heart of the Pacific Warthe period between mid-1942 and mid-1944when parallel Allied counteroffensives north and south of the equator washed over Japan's far-flung island empire like a "conquering tide," concluding with Japan's irreversible strategic defeat in the Marianas. It was the largest, bloodiest, most costly, most technically innovative and logistically complicated amphibious war in history, and it fostered bitter interservice rivalries, leaving wounds that even victory could not heal. Often overlooked, these are the years and fights that decided the Pacific War. Ian W. Toll's battle scenesin the air, at sea, and in the junglesare simply riveting. He also takes the reader into the wartime councils in Washington and Tokyo where politics and strategy often collided, and into the struggle to mobilize wartime production, which was the secret of Allied victory. Brilliantly researched, the narrative is propelled and colored by firsthand accountsletters, diaries, debriefings, and memoirsthat are the raw material of the telling details, shrewd judgment, and penetrating insight of this magisterial history. This volumecontinuing the "marvelously readable dramatic narrative" (San Francisco Chronicle) of Pacific Cruciblemarks the second installment of the Pacific War Trilogy, which will stand as the first history of the entire Pacific War to be published in at least twenty-five years.

Get ready for an action-packed, inventive, and powerful take on the attack on Pearl Harbor, as only Alan Gratz can tell it. December 6, 1941: Best friends Frank and Stanley have it good. Their dads are Navy pilots stationed at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, and the boys get a front-row view of the huge battleships and the sparkling water. Yes, World War II is raging in Europe and in Asia, but the US isn't involved in the war, and the boys are free to dream about becoming comic book creators. They've even invented a superhero of their own, in the style of Batman, Superman, Captain America, and other stars of the Golden Age of Comics. Maybe they'll even get their comic published someday. December 7th, 1941: Everything explodes. That morning, Frank and Stanley are aboard the battleship the USS Utah when Japanese planes zoom overhead and begin dropping bombs on the ships below. Chaos ensues as everyone scrambles to dive for safety. Frank and Stanley realize what's happening: Japan is attacking America! The war has come to them. As the boys fight to make their way home amidst the carnage, it's clear that everything has changed.

En las últimas décadas han aumentado los trastornos que debilitan nuestro cerebro, desde los niños con autismo y TDAH hasta los adultos que desarrollan demencia a edades más tempranas que nunca. Pero una investigación médica actual revela que la salud de nuestro cerebro está dictada mayoritariamente por el estado de nuestro microbioma o, lo que es lo mismo, por la gran población de organismos que viven en nuestros intestinos y que superan en número a las células del cuerpo humano en una proporción de diez a uno. Es decir que lo que está ocurriendo en nuestros intestinos hoy determina el riesgo de cualquier trastorno o enfermedad relacionada con el cerebro.

Here, among many others, we encounter: • A mushroom witch who learns that sometimes the worst thing in the Scholomance can be your roommate. • The start of the Dragon Corps in ancient Rome, after Mark Antony hatches a dragon’s egg and bonds with the hatchling. • A young bride in the Middle Ages who finds herself gambling with Death for the highest of stakes. • A delightful reimagining of Pride & Prejudice, in which Elizabeth Bennet captains a Longwing dragon. • The first glimpse of the world of Abandon, the setting of Novik’s upcoming epic fantasy series—a deserted continent populated only by silent and enigmatic architectural mysteries. Though the stories are vastly different, there is a unifying theme: wrestling with destiny, and the lengths some will go to find their own and fulfill its promise.
