Deng Xiaoping and the Transformation of China
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Vogel, Ezra F., PUBLISHER: Belknap Press, Perhaps no one in the twentieth century had a greater long-term impact on world history than Deng Xiaoping. And no scholar of contemporary East Asian history and culture is better qualified than Ezra Vogel to disentangle the many contradictions embodied in the life and legacy of China's boldest strategist. Once described by Mao Zedong as a "needle inside a ball of cotton," Deng was the pragmatic yet disciplined driving force behind China's radical transformation in the late twentieth century. He confronted the damage wrought by the Cultural Revolution, dissolved Mao's cult of personality, and loosened the economic and social policies that had stunted China's growth. Obsessed with modernization and technology, Deng opened trade relations with the West that lifted hundreds of millions of his countrymen out of poverty. Yet at the same time he answered to his authoritarian roots, most notably when he ordered the crackdown in June at Tiananmen Square. Deng's youthful commitment to the Communist Party was cemented in Paris in the early s, among a group of Chinese student-workers who also included Zhou Enlai. Deng returned home in to join the Chinese Revolution on the ground floor. In the fifty years of his tumultuous rise to power, he endured accusations, purges, and even exile before becoming China's preeminent leader from to and again in . When he reached the top, Deng saw an opportunity to creatively destroy much of the economic system he had helped build for five decades as a loyal follower of Mao--and he did not hesitate.

My Name Is Memory
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brashares, Ann, PUBLISHER: Riverhead Books, From the "New York Times"-bestselling author of "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" and "The Last Summer (of You and Me)" comes an imaginative, inspired, magical book-a love story that lasts more than a lifetime. Daniel has spent centuries falling in love with the same girl. Life after life, crossing continents and dynasties, he and Sophia (despite her changing name and form) have been drawn together-and he remembers it all. Daniel has "the memory," the ability to recall past lives and recognize souls of those he's previously known. It is a gift and a curse. For all the times that he and Sophia have been drawn together throughout history, they have also been torn painfully, fatally, apart. A love always too short. Interwoven through Sophia and Daniel's unfolding present day relationship are glimpses of their expansive history together. From 552 Asia Minor to England and Virginia, the two souls share a long and sometimes torturous path of seeking each other time and time again. But just when young Sophia (now "Lucy" in the present) finally begins to awaken to the secret of their shared past, to understand the true reason for the strength of their attraction, the mysterious force that has always torn them apart reappears. Ultimately, they must come to understand what stands in the way of their love if they are ever to spend a lifetime together. A magical, suspenseful, heartbreaking story of true love, "My Name is Memory" proves the power and endurance of a union that was meant to be.
Chitarra elettrica Steinberger Spirit GT-PRO
Steinberger Spirit GT-PRO in ottimo stato con tastiera in resina fenolica. Pezzo stupendo e oggi introvabile, monta al manico e al ponte 2 humbucker EMG design attivi e un single coil al centro, selettore 5 posizioni, tremolo Steinberger R-Trem. Inclusa custodia morbida originale Steinberger. Tenuta in modo maniacale e suonata solo in studio (ha ancora la pellicola protettiva sul coperchio del body back).

E' uno strumento dal design unico che si porta agilmente ovunque. Essendo poi costruita con un manico in acero che entra completamente con l'anima (truss rod) aggiustabile nella cassa rinforzata, quest'ascia non solo è stabile ma è anche praticamente indistruttibile.

The Spirit GT-Pro guitar features the same distinctive body-shape as the award-winning Steinberger GL Series and features the trademark “headless” design with the patented Double-Ball™ tuning system. Other features include the patented locking R-Trem™ system with direct-pull, 40:1 ratio machine heads, three (humbucker- single -humbucker) Steinberger pickups and folding leg rest for playing comfort while sitting.

The Young Oxford Book of the Human Being: The Body, the
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Glover, David, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, There are more than 5 billion (that's a 5 with nine zero's) human beings on Earth, and each of us is unique. Yet we all share the same human characteristics--our origins, how our bodies work, how our minds function, and how we live together and communicate. With so many people living together on the planet, what is the secret of our success? The Young Oxford Book of the Human Being answers this question and many more as it unlocks the secrets of human beings. The essential guide to what makes us human, this volume is packed with colorful photographs and artwork, and it covers all aspects of human life, from the building blocks of our bodies to living in the global village. Did you know, for example, that there are more than 100 billion nerve cells in your brain? That's as many stars as there are in a galaxy. Or that it would take five CD-ROMs to hold the amount of information stored by the DNA in just one of your body cells? Author David Glover also explores the mysteries of our minds--how we perceive things and remember them, and how our thoughts and emotions work. What are dreams? How does memory work? How do we learn? We are also unique in the ways we live together, and fascinating chapters explore the groups we form, our cultures and beliefs, and our incredible inventiveness. The Young Oxford Guide to the Human Being is the complete guide to the most advanced and influential creatures on Earth--us.

Young children are curious about almost everything, especially their bodies. And young children are not afraid to ask questions. What makes me a girl? What makes me a boy? Why are some parts of girls' and boys' bodies the same and why are some parts different? How was I made? Where do babies come from? Is it true that a stork brings babies to mommies and daddies? IT'S NOT THE STORK helps answer these endless and perfectly normal questions that preschool, kindergarten, and early elementary school children ask about how they began. Through lively, comfortable language and sensitive, engaging artwork, Robie H. Harris and Michael Emberley address readers in a reassuring way, mindful of a child's healthy desire for straightforward information. Two irresistible cartoon characters, a curious bird and a squeamish bee, provide comic relief and give voice to the full range of emotions and reactions children may experience while learning about their amazing bodies. Vetted and approved by science, health, and child development experts, the information is up-to-date, age-appropriate, and scientifically accurate, and always aimed at helping kids feel proud, knowledgeable, and comfortable about their own bodies, about how they were born, and about the family they are part of.

Thirty Years from Home: A Seaman's View of the War of
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Leech, Samuel, PUBLISHER: Fireship Press, Suppose you had a sailor who served honorably and well in two different navies-that were on opposite sides of the same war-and then wrote a book about it? Samuel Leech was once a young sailor in the Royal Navy. That's not terribly extraordinary, until you add... That he served aboard the HMS Macedonian when she fought, and was captured by, the USS United States; and was made an American prisoner of war. That he then joined the U.S. Navy and was aboard the USS Syren when she fought, and was captured by, HMS Medway; and he was made a British prisoner of war. And finally, that he was the ONLY seamen to write an account of his experiences with both navies, on opposite sides, in the War of But it doesn't stop there. Leech was also an astute observer. His vivid description of the carnage aboard the Macedonian in her encounter with the United States is a classic; and his comparison of the way seamen were treated by both navies is penetrating. Indeed, those insights have become the source of many historian's views that this disparity in treatment was one of the main reasons that American ships were so successful during the War of . But above all, Leech writes with a human touch that draws you into his world. When you are finished reading, you literally feel like you were there with him and that you somehow know the man. It is one of the most extraordinary books in all of nautical literature, now brought back into print by Fireship Press.

Amazing Prophecies Being Fulfilled
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rogers, Herb, Jr., PUBLISHER: Xulon Press, Herb Rogers has been in full time ministry for over 50 years as the senior pastor in churches in Colorado, California and Florida. During his ministry Bible prophecy has been a frequent topic in his preaching. This book is a compilation of decades of intense study in the area of Biblical signs of the times. The signs of the times found in Scripture are startling in number when viewed together. They stand as proof that our generation is witnessing events that have never happened in all of recorded history. Jesus said that we would know that the end of the age is near when these signs all occur at the same time. The thing that makes this study amazing is that all of the hundreds of things predicted in God's Word are not only presently happening, but they are increasing in intensity and number as we rush toward the final fulfillment of all things. The book will name each sign individually, give the scripture verses that predicted it and then share articles from magazines, books, etc. that substantiate the progress of each sign in our present world. Even the unsaved are aware that the world seems to be moving toward some sort of a climax.It appears that the world has entered an era of dramatic and ominous change. At the present moment the planet is in severe crisis. In we saw bank failures, the stock market crash, and bailouts of all sorts. Unemployment has soared, foreclosures of homes have been epic in scope, and businesses are closing by the thousands, including some of the largest stores in America. What does it all mean? This book presents an awesome answer to this question.
The Marriage Plot
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Eugenides, Jeffrey, PUBLISHER: HarperCollins Publishers, The long-awaited new novel from the Pultizer Prize-winning author Jeffrey Eugenides. "There is no happiness in love, except at the end of an English novel." -- Anthony Trollope, Barchester Towers Madeleine Hanna was the dutiful English major who didn't get the memo. While everyone else in the early s was reading Derrida, she was happily absorbed with Jane Austen and George Eliot: purveyors of the marriage plot that lies at the heart of the greatest English novels. Madeleine was the girl who dressed a little too nicely for the taste of her more bohemian friends, the perfect girlfriend whose college love life, despite her good looks, hadn't lived up to expectations. But now, in the spring of her senior year, Madeleine has enrolled in a semiotics course "to see what all the fuss is about," and, for reasons that have nothing to do with school, life and literature will never be the same. Not after she falls in love with Leonard Morten--charismatic loner, college Darwinist and lost Oregon boy--who is possessed of seemingly inexhaustible energy and introduces her to the ecstasies of immediate experience. And certainly not after Mitchell Grammaticus--devotee of Patti Smith and Thomas Merton--resurfaces in her life, obsessed with the idea that Madeleine is destined to be his mate. The triangle in this amazing and delicious novel about a generation beginning to grow up is age old, and completely fresh and surprising. With devastating wit, irony and an abiding understanding and love for his characters, Jeffrey Eugenides resuscitates the original energies of the novel while creating a story so contemporary that it reads like the intimate journal of our own lives.

Will he have the courage to resist taking the path with the least resistance? Can he find the answer to the question and what was behind his disappearance?

Restoring Fiscal Sanity: How to Balance the Budget
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rivlin, Alice M. / Sawhill, Isabel, PUBLISHER: Brookings Institution Press, The United States is standing at a critical juncture in its fiscal outlook. After experiencing a brief period of budget surpluses at the turn of the century, the federal government will run deficits that add about $4 trillion to the national debt over the next decade. Substantial deficits will likely continue long into the future because the looming retirement of the baby boom generation will raise spending in Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. At the same time, the federal government appears to be neglecting spending in key areas of social and economic policy. The nation thus faces a vital choice: continue down a path toward future fiscal crisis while under investing in critical areas, or increase resources in high-priority areas while also reducing the overall budget deficit. This choice will materially affect Americans economic status and security in the immediate future as well as over long horizons. In "Restoring Fiscal Sanity," a group of Brookings scholars with high-level government experience provide an overview of the countrys likely medium- and long-term spending needs and the resources available to pay for them. They propose three alternative fiscal paths that are more responsible than the current path. One plan emphasizes spending cuts, the second emphasizes revenue increases, and a third is a balanced mix between the two. The contributors address the policy choices in such areas as defense, homeland security, international assistance, and programs targeted to the less advantaged, the elderly, and other domestic priorities. In the process, they provide an understanding of the short- and long-run trade offs and illustrate how the budget can be reshaped to achieve highpriority objectives in a fiscally responsible way.
My Student Teaching Experience
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Scott, Austin L., PUBLISHER: PublishAmerica, "One student said that he..".didn't want to do it." Another student said that he "just didn't do it." And the list of excuses is extensive. Some said they didn't have dictionaries, and others said that they did not have the words they were supposed to look up.""Today was a stressful day. If there ever was a day that I just wanted to hurry up and get over, it was today. I have seven students who are on IEP's, three of which take medication; and oh when their medication does not work ""Today was a better day than yesterday. I find that I have a lot of control over the emotional atmosphere of the class. The students seem to respond to my feelings. The emotions I display, determine the emotions they display. Sometimes this can be good, other times this can be bad.""I had to keep encouraging them and motivating them to learn it. When they were ugly towards me, I told them that I loved them, and that I am willing to struggle with them through this if they are willing to patiently learnA a A] then] there came a point when they were completely silent and their on-task behavior was so intoxicating that I did not want them to leave.""When someone comes into your life that you love, it's hard to let them go, and it's hard to forget about them. I guess that's part of the reason why I have a shield up often times, because I know they will leave. I know they won't remain in my life. Even though this true, I love these kids, they have changed my life. I will never be the same after this."
Dermastir Luxury - Night Mask
COMPONENTS 50mL airless jar PRODUCT CODE DSLLM DESCRIPTION The Dermastir night mask is to be applied after the night cream and this is done so that the ingredients in the night cream remain for a longer time in the skin. With age the skin becomes thinner and therefore it is more difficult for the skin to keep ingredients and hydration in the skin. Using medical terminology one may say that the Dermastir night masks helps to decrease the trans epidermal water loss (TEWL). Dermastir night mask can be applied not only after night creams but also after hydrophilic serums usually found in droppers and glass ampoules. PACKAGING Packed in an airless packaging with vacuum flask technology that protects the active ingredients from oxygen, heat, light, pathogens and humidity POINTS OF SELLING • One of the main strengths of the Dermastir night masks is that the texture of this yellow mask is very dense but at the same time not thick and easy to apply. • The mask has strong tensioactive properties and this is visible to the naked eye. If a finger is inserted in the mask the hole that initially forms reduces in size till eventually flattening out because of the very high tensioactive properties of the ingredients. This property helps the ingredients to remain for longer time in the skin. This is very important when skin starts aging. • One important strength of the Dermastir Night Mask is that it enters the skin and it can be left in overnight with no need to be washed off. The Dermastir night mask will leave no residues. • The improved results are seen immediately the next morning. When comparing using a night cream only and a night cream followed by Dermastir Mask the results and difference is immediately visible the next morning. • The Dermastir Night Mask gives more value to expensive night creams and serums since the mask leaves the ingredients for longer time in the skin and they are not lost.
