The Malice of Fortune

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ennis, Michael, PUBLISHER: McClelland & Stewart, A sweeping, intense historical thriller starring two of the great minds of Renaissance Italy: Niccolo Machiavelli and Leonardo da Vinci. Based on a real historical mystery, and involving serial murder and a gruesome cat and mouse game at the highest levels of the Church -- it was the era of the infamous Borgias -- A Most Beautiful Deception""is a delicious treat for fans of Umberto Eco, Sarah Dunant, and Elizabeth Kostova. This brilliant novel is an epic tale exploring the backdrop of the most controversial work of the Italian Renaissance, The Prince. Here, Niccolo Machiavelli, the great "scientist" of human behaviour becomes, in effect, the first criminal profiler, while his contemporary and sometime colleague, the erratic genius Leonardo da Vinci, brings his observational powers to the increasingly desperate hunt for a brilliant, terrifying serial murderer. Their foil and partner is the exquisite Damiata, scholar and courtesan. All three know their quarry is someone who holds enormous power, both to tear Italy apart, and destroy each of their most beloved dreams. And every thrilling step is based on historical fact.

Aristotle Would Have Liked Oprah: And Other Philosophic

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Diamond, Ethel, PUBLISHER: Health Communications, Philosophy is not just for "serious thinkers", it is for everyone's enjoyment. There are no "answers", just insightful questions -- thoughts to help us live our lives. From the birth of philosophy in ancient Greece to the present, this has been the basic premise of all great philosophers. Unfortunately, the words of these wise men are not always accessible to all readers. This book brings the lofty words of great philosophy down-to-earth for all readers to practice, benefit from and enjoy. The author has summarized the basic views of many of the most important thinkers throughout history and related them directly to contemporary life. From advertising slogans to celebrities to familiar phrases, this book shows readers how much of our popular culture results from the teachings of the great philosophers. The book examines such luminaries of thought as Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Voltaire, Kant, Hegel, Emerson, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, James, Heidegger, Derrida and Rorty, and relates them to contemporary icons like David Copperfield, Oprah Winfrey, Tony Robbins, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Michael Jackson, Jerry Seinfeld and Howard Stern. A philosophic smorgasbord, readers are free to select morsels of wisdom in whatever order they choose. This accessible, easy-to-read, clever, lighthearted book is sure to appeal to all readers. More than merely providing a witty simplification of lofty thought, it reveals deep, universal truths about life and living. In the midst of these chaotic, media-driven times, readers need perennial wisdom more than ever before to guide and inspire them.

Lost Memoirs of Edgar Cayce: Life as a Seer

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Cayce, Edgar / Smith, A. Robert, PUBLISHER: A.R.E. Press (Association of Research & Enlig, The Edgar Cayce Story is one of the most compelling and inspiring that we have. For more than forty years, the "sleeping prophet" would close his eyes, enter an altered state of consciousness, and speak to the very heart and spirit of humanity on subjects such as health, dreams, prophecy, meditation, and reincarnation. Recently, a great number of Cayce's papers were rediscovered in which Cayce had sought to set down his reminiscences. A. Robert Smith, who found the papers, discovered -- to his astonishment -- that while Cayce had never written a continuous chronicle, he had covered most of the episodes, which Smith was then able to put together like the pieces of a giant puzzle. The picture that emerges is a virtually complete likeness of one of the great spiritual figures of our century. People who knew Edgar Cayce personally say that he really comes alive in these pages. His "autobiography" will hold you spellbound and leave you in wonder at the potential of humankind.

The House of Impossible Loves

The Laguna women suffer from an odd affliction: each generation is condemned to tragic love affairs and to only give birth to girls who are unable to escape the cruel fate of their mothers. One fateful hunting season in their small Castilian town, a young landowner arrives and begins a passionate affair with Clara Laguna, the latest in the family line, daughter of a one-eyed woman known as "the Laguna witch." He leaves her pregnant with yet another daughter, but the seeds of change are sown. Eventually the long-awaited son--Santiago, the great-great grandson of Clara--is born. A window of hope is opened, but is the curse truly over? Full of memorable, offbeat characters, from a bearded, mute female cook to the local do-gooding priest to the Laguna women themselves, "The House of Impossible Loves" is a feat of imaginative storytelling that marks the arrival of a talented new novelist.

What the Best College Teachers Do

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bain, Ken, PUBLISHER: Harvard University Press, What makes a great teacher great? Who are the professors students remember long after graduation? This book, the conclusion of a fifteen-year study of nearly one hundred college teachers in a wide variety of fields and universities, offers valuable answers for all educators. The short answer is--it's not what teachers do, it's what they understand. Lesson plans and lecture notes matter less than the special way teachers comprehend the subject and value human learning. Whether historians or physicists, in El Paso or St. Paul, the best teachers know their subjects inside and out--but they also know how to engage and challenge students and to provoke impassioned responses. Most of all, they believe two things fervently: that teaching matters and that students can learn. In stories both humorous and touching, Bain describes examples of ingenuity and compassion, of students' discoveries of new ideas and the depth of their own potential. "What the Best College Teachers Do" is a treasure trove of insight and inspiration for first-year teachers and seasoned educators.

Biographical Supplement and Index

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Oxford University Press / Freund, David M., PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, To fully appreciate our country's history and the problems and possibilities we face as a nation on the eve of a new century, Americans--young and old--need to know that the fascinating heritage of African Americans begins not with the slave ships of Portugal and Spain, but with the richly diverse tribes, cultures, and ancient civilizations of the African continent. We need to understand that the long journey for freedom and equality for all Americans began well before the Civil War, or even the Revolutionary War, and that the journey continues to this day. Now history's missing pages at last come to life with the publication of The Young Oxford History of African Americans. Spanning five centuries, this extraordinary 11-volume series paints a vibrant and compelling portrait of the lives of African Americans. Written by distinguished American historians, the series sets a new standard for accuracy, balance, and breadth of scholarship in a reference aimed at the general reader. The lively narrative is rich in gripping first person accounts and short character sketches that invite readers to relive history as African Americans experienced it. From the first black Africans brought as slaves into the Caribbean islands and the colonies of Central and South America to today's black filmmakers and politicians, the stories of remarkable individuals of great courage and ability are told, but also those of ordinary men and women whose struggles and accomplishments continue to shape history. Whatever their race or background, readers come away with a deeper appreciation of African Americans as a people who have long shared in the aspiration and expectations of their fellow citizens, but who have done so with a unique history and a unique set of barriers to overcome. Unrivaled in breadth or depth, The Young Oxford History of African Americans is an unforgettable portrait of a people. It is an essential reference not only for students of African-American history, but also for libraries, teachers, parents, and all of us who strive to understand the struggles and sacrifices of the American past, the formidable challenges of our present, and our brightest hopes for the future.
