It features over an hour's worth of supplemental videos in which Mixerman demonstrates various recording techniques in a number of recording spaces.

The farm grows heirloom apples, two hundred and-fifty varieties of them that are rapidly disappearing from our modern food supply.
Run by two octogenarians, Phyllis and John Kilcherman maintain a showroom/tasting room in a huge barn that also displays John’s pop bottle collection, one of the largest in the country. On any given day you can see John buttoned into an apple collecting apron bringing more apples into the barn and Phyllis standing on the cold cement floor sharing one of her recipes with customers from near and far who visit this unique place in the Fall.
The book features the family and the farm’s history beginning with its public offering by the U.S. Government in 1851. Color photos of the orchard in three seasons, photographed by Dianne Carroll Burdick, capture the living apple community from the bee’s pollination to apple harvest and all points of apple growing in-between. Phyllis shares recipes both traditional and creative uses of apples in meatloaf, coleslaw, baked beans as well as her most prized and sought after recipe from her grandmother, The Apple Pie.
The book is laced with folklore, poems, and the apple histories some of which go back to the Crimea peninsula of Russia. In fact, apples first got to the U.S. from their native Kazakhstan via Western Europe in the 17th century.

直到今天，仍有很多犹太人把《塔木德》视为最可贵的圣物，并当作生活的慰藉和心灵的避难所。 如果说《圣经》旧约是一部永恒的书，那么《塔木德》则是犹太人日常生活的伴侣，充满着生命的智慧和应付危机的良谋。它不是史书，却在谈史；它不是人物志，却在述说人物；它不是百科全书，却包罗万象。正是它孕育了西方文明的模式，成为犹太智慧的源泉。 《塔木德》与《圣经》、柏拉图的《理想国》、亚里士多德的《政治学》和伊斯兰的《古兰经》，并称为影响人类文明的巨著，是真正的传世经典。 | null | 12/1/2008 | {"name":"柯友辉","num_books":24} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0}} | "$3.99" |

There were the proud, cultivated, and degenerate Sforzas in Milan, and in Rome, the corrupt Spanish family of the Borgia whose head, Rodrigo, ascended to St Peter's throne as Pope Alexander VI. In Florence, a golden age of culture and sophistication ended with the death of the greatest of the Medici family, Lorenzo the Magnificent, giving way to an era of uncertainty, cruelty, and religious fundamentalism.
In the midst of this turmoil, there existed the greatest concentration of artists that Europe has ever known. Influenced by the rediscovery of the ancient cultures of Greece and Rome, artists and thinkers such as Botticelli and da Vinci threw off the shackles of the Middle Ages to produce one of the most creative periods in history - the Renaissance.
This is the story of twelve years when war, plague, famine, and chaos made their mark on a volatile Italy, and when a young, erratic genius, Michelangelo Buonarroti, made his first great statue - the David. It was to become a symbol not only of the independence and defiance of the city of Florence but also of the tortured soul who created it. This is a wonderful history of the artist, his times, and one of his most magnificent works. | ["Art","History","Art History","Italy","Biography","Nonfiction"] | 1/28/2002 | {"name":"Anton Gill","num_books":57,"num_followers":"60"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":2,"reviews_percentage":2},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":9,"reviews_percentage":10},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":35,"reviews_percentage":41},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":26,"reviews_percentage":30},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":13,"reviews_percentage":15}} | "$11.99" |

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/310054.Final_Analysis | 310054.Final_Analysis | Final Analysis: The Untold Story of the Susan Polk Murder Case | ["Catherine Crier"] | 3.38 | 475 | 51 | In October 2002, Susan Polk, a housewife and mother of three, was arrested for the murder of her husband, Felix. The arrest in her sleepy northern California town kicked off what would become one of the most captivating murder trials in recent memory, as police, local attorneys, and the national media sought to unravel the complex web of events that sent this seemingly devoted housewife over the edge.
Now, with the exclusive access and in-depth reporting that made A Deadly Game a number one New York Times bestseller, Catherine Crier turns an analytical eye to the story of Susan Polk, delving into her past and examining how over twenty years of marriage culminated in murder. Tracing the family's history, Crier skillfully maneuvers the murky waters of the Polk's marriage, looking at the real story behind Susan, Felix, and their unorthodox courtship. When Susan was in high school, Felix, who was more than twenty years her senior, had been her psychologist, and it was during their sessions that the romantic entanglement began. From these troubling origins grew a difficult marriage, one which produced three healthy boys but also led to disturbing accusations of abuse from both spouses.
With extraordinary detail, Crier dissects this dangerous relationship between husband and wife, exposing their psychological motivations and the painful impact that these motivations had on their sons, Adam, Eli, and Gabriel. Drawing on sources from all sides of the case, Crier masterfully reconstructs the tumultuous chronology of the Polk family, telling the story of how Susan and Felix struggled to control their rambunctious sons and their disintegrating marriage in the years and months leading up to Felix's death.
But the history of the Polk family is only half the story. Here Crier also elucidates the methodical police work of the murder investigation, revealing never-before-seen photos and writings from the case file. In addition, she carefully scrutinizes the many twists and turns of the remarkable trial, exploring Susan's struggles with her defense attorneys and her shocking decision to represent herself.
Dark, psychological, and terrifying, Final Analysis is a harrowing look at the recesses of the human mind and the trauma that reveals them. | ["True Crime","Nonfiction","Crime","Mystery","History","Audiobook"] | 1/1/2007 | {"name":"Catherine Crier","num_books":10,"num_followers":"95"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":31,"reviews_percentage":6},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":53,"reviews_percentage":11},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":177,"reviews_percentage":37},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":131,"reviews_percentage":27},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":83,"reviews_percentage":17}} | "$4.99" |

Everyone knows Della is weird, and Carrie's best friends have vowed not to go. But once Carrie is there, she begins to wonder whether Della is really all that bad, and whether all the kids who did not show up have ever given Della a chance.When Carrie looks within her own little soul to find an independence and conviction she didn't know she had, readers will learn that how people look doesn't always tell you what they are like inside. Just as Carrie learns amazing new things about herself, about Della and about friendship, children reading or listening to this story will learn to trust their own feelings when it comes to who is their friend, not the opinions of their peers.

Jordana Mendelson uses this ambiguity as a framework for the study of Spanish visual culture from 1929 to 1939―a decade marked, on the one hand, by dictatorship, civil war, and Franco’s rise to power and, on the other, by a surge in the production of documentaries of various types, from films and photographs to international exhibitions. Mendelson begins with an examination of El Pueblo Español, a model Spanish village featured at the 1929 International Exposition in Barcelona. She then discusses Buñuel’s and Dalí’s documentary films, relating them not only to French Surrealism but also to issues of rural tradition in the formation of regional and national identities. Her highly original book concludes with a discussion of the 1937 Spanish Pavilion, where Picasso’s famed painting of the Fascist bombing of a Basque town―Guernica―was exhibited along with monumental photomurals by Josep Renau. Based upon years of archival research, Mendelson’s book opens a new perspective on the cultural politics of a turbulent era in modern Spain. It explores the little-known yet rich intersection between avant-garde artists and government institutions. It shows as well the surprising extent to which Spanish modernity was fashioned through dialogue between the seemingly opposed fields of urban and rural, fine art, and mass culture. | null | 8/26/2005 | {"name":"Jordana Mendelson","num_books":14,"num_followers":"6"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":1,"reviews_percentage":100}} | null |

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8659397-built-to-love | 8659397-built-to-love | Built to Love: Creating Products That Captivate Customers | ["Peter Boatwright"] | 3.41 | 34 | 1 | Leading companies do more than produce things that work better. Their products and services make customers feel better. They create captivating products that energize the marketplace and set the standard for what customers want and expect. But this isn’t something you can add on after the fact. Your products and services must be built to love from the very start. This book tells you why and shows you how.
Peter Boatwright and Jonathan Cagan have worked with market-leading companies ranging from Fortune 100 corporations to niche firms in a variety of industries. They’ve found that for companies to form deep bonds with customers, emotions must be generated by a product itself—trying to associate emotions with a product simply through advertising is unreliable, expensive, and ultimately ineffective. They marshal stock market data that proves the bottom-line benefit of high-emotion products, as well as data showing that people are willing to pay more for products with emotionally rich features.
After demonstrating that authentic product emotion really does pay off, Boatwright and Cagan move on to how —how emotion can be broken down into its core building blocks, how it can then be used to develop new products and services, and how product touch points, in particular visual touch points, deliver those emotions. Emotion can be built into any product or service—a point vividly illustrated through case studies from a variety of industries.
Emotion is fundamental to all that is human, including the products we enjoy. Built to Love offers a clear method and a set of tools to help you gain loyal, even fanatical customers by going beyond mere efficiency and speaking to people’s deepest needs and wants. | ["Business"] | 1/1/2010 | {"name":"Peter Boatwright","num_books":7} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":1,"reviews_percentage":2},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":5,"reviews_percentage":14},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":12,"reviews_percentage":35},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":11,"reviews_percentage":32},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":5,"reviews_percentage":14}} | "$27.95" |

Complete information on how to catch and keep these baits is followed by sections on how to actually use each live bait type. New on the freshwater-fishing scene in recent years is the use of dough baits and scents. Which one to choose, plus how and when to use each is fully explained. Equipment is discussed in hooks, bobbers, sinkers, rods, and reels. The authors suggest many tips for using different kinds of equipment in various fishing locations and situations.

The Regulator Rebellion of 1766-71 pitted thousands of farmers, many of them religious radicals inspired by the Great Awakening, against political and economic elites who opposed the Regulators' proposed reforms. The conflict culminated on May 16, 1771, when a colonial militia defeated more than 2,000 armed farmers in a pitched battle near Hillsborough. At least 6,000 Regulators and sympathizers were forced to swear their allegiance to the government as the victorious troops undertook a punitive march through Regulator settlements. Seven farmers were hanged.
Using sources that include diaries, church minutes, legal papers, and the richly detailed accounts of the Regulators themselves, Marjoleine Kars delves deeply into the world and ideology of free rural colonists. She examines the rebellion's economic, religious, and political roots and explores its legacy in North Carolina and beyond. The compelling story of the Regulator Rebellion reveals just how sharply elite and popular notions of independence differed on the eve of the Revolution. | ["History","Nonfiction","American History"] | 2/25/2002 | {"name":"Marjoleine Kars","num_books":5,"num_followers":"12"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":4,"reviews_percentage":5},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":19,"reviews_percentage":24},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":31,"reviews_percentage":40},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":23,"reviews_percentage":29}} | "$16.19" |

I have lived with a woman who was born in Bangkok for over three years and been married to her for two years. If it were not for my exposure to her and her family, I would now know how to survive in Bangkok ... but I would only have a superficial understanding of Thais and Thai culture.
Unlike some books written on relocating to Thailand, I don't think Thailand turns out to be a wonderful country for everyone. It works very well for me. And in this guide you will learn why.
More than anything, this guide is about Thai culture. If you are coming here from the USA it will be hard for you to overestimate how different Thai culture is from that in the USA. In the USA you have literally hundreds of religions. In Thailand, something like 95% of the population is Buddhist. Buddhism is reflected everywhere in Thai life. Many of the foreigners I meet who are confused by what they run into here on a day-to-day basis have not looked into Buddhism. In my opinion, if you don't have an appreciation for and understanding of Buddhism, you will not end up being comfortable with Thai culture and living in Thailand for any length of time.
I'm very happy living in Bangkok with my Thai wife. In this book I've tried to convey some of what that life is like … and to compare my quality of life here to what I experienced in the USA. Part of my motivation for writing the book is thinking that eventually something might happen to me while living here that will sour me on Thailand. At that point, I'll want something to remind me of why I chose to live here. So far, I'm still on my honeymoon. I don't think Thailand or Thai culture is perfect by any means. But, from my experience, the positives far outweigh the negatives.
To be very honest, there are many things about Thai culture and how Thais think that I just do not understand. For example, Thais are generally a very nonviolent people. Rather than kill stray or unwanted dogs, they abandon them at temples or leave them to fend for themselves on the street. But… I've been told by more than one person that hiring someone to kill a person who you want killed is not that difficult in Thailand. The strange part of all this is that it seems to be morally ok to have someone killed … but not morally acceptable to do it yourself.
Thailand is full of extreme contrasts and apparent contradictions. I've tried in this book to communicate some of this. For example, Bangkok is an adult Disneyland without brakes. If you have the money, you can buy most anything. But … the ones who get the most respect are the monks (even the King of Thailand shows a monk respect by waiing him). So, it's the ones who are able to turn their backs on all the worldly pleasures who are given the most respect.
If you come to live here you will gradually come to think you understand something about Thailand. But I think maybe the experience of living here will actually teach you more about the country you just left. All those things you took for granted for all those years start to seem like just one of many choices. For example, in the USA people usually consider their home to be a personal statement of who they are. Americans generally like to invite people to visit their home. Thais, on the other hand, usually meet friends at a restaurant to socialize. Thais are reluctant to invite friends to their home.
Those in charge of advertising Thailand to the world have chosen the phrase "amazing Thailand" to promote tourism. In my opinion, this is not false advertising. I hope my book can help prepare you for what you will find in Thailand…and to decide if it is really a good choice for you. | null | 5/4/2012 | {"name":"Alan Reeder-Camponi","num_books":8,"num_followers":"1"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":1,"reviews_percentage":3},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":4,"reviews_percentage":12},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":5,"reviews_percentage":15},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":10,"reviews_percentage":30},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":13,"reviews_percentage":39}} | "$2.99" |

Après cinq années passées au loin et une nouvelle vie auprès d’une nouvelle compagne, Emmanuel Masson souhaite renouer avec son fils et, qui sait, peut-être le convaincre de venir vivre à Nice. Momo se laissera-t-il tenter ?C’est avec beaucoup de finesse que l’auteur, par le biais du prétexte agréable du voyage, nous présente une facette inconnue de la vie familiale de Momo. Non seulement Momo fait-il son premier voyage en avion, découvre-t-il la Côte d’Azur et l’accent du sud de la France, mais il devra aussi choisir sa destinée. Voici donc un roman qui allie à merveille émotion et humour et qui ravira les jeunes lecteurs de 7 ans et plus.À l’aube des vacances, Momo reçoit une invitation épatante. Aller rejoindre son père, qu’il n’a pas vu depuis cinq ans, à Nice où celui-ci possède un restaurant. Mais Momo n’a jamais voyagé seul et Lucie, sa mère, hésite à le laisser partir sans surveillance. Ses réticences tomberont rapidement lorsque M. Pacossi, leur célèbre voisin, peintre de profession, propose d’accompagner Momo pour son premier passage outre-Atlantique. Ainsi commence une folle équipée qui fait de ce périple une succession d’événements inattendus, à commencer par l’absence du père de Momo à l’aéroport. Momo ne se souvient plus du nom de famille de son père (il porte celui de sa mère) et il ne se rappelle plus le nom du restaurant. Nice est une grande ville. Comment s’y repérer? Heureusement, le hasard fait bien les choses et c’est par l’entremise de Brigitte, la nouvelle conjointe du père de Momo, qu’ils pourront enfin renouer connaissance. Momo découvre un environnement fort différent de Saint-Romain-des-Champs et où il serait bien tentant de vivre en permanence. Mais pourrait-il se passer de Lucie et de la belle Jessica Laliberté ? | null | 1/1/2003 | {"name":"BARCELO FRANCOIS","num_books":18} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":1,"reviews_percentage":20},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":4,"reviews_percentage":80},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0}} | "$6.99" |

Goya simultaneously pursued a number of disparate projects, commissions he received from prestigious churches and royalty, as well as producing several lengthy series of lithographs to express his dislike of several subjects, notably Spanish high society and war. Brushing into controversy on several occasions, Goya threaded the political needle of alternating French and Spanish rule of his home country of Spain as well as successfully navigated the choppy waters of the Spanish Inquisition when it questioned the morality of La Maja Desnuda, one of his most famous paintings. | null | 11/19/2014 | {"name":"Sandra Forty","num_books":86,"num_followers":"5"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":3,"reviews_percentage":37},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":3,"reviews_percentage":37},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":2,"reviews_percentage":25}} | "$5.99" |

Lady Philippa Casemore caused quite a scene at her very first ball of her very first season. She even landed herself, somehow, on the pages of the infamous betting book at White's gentleman's club. Unfortunately, she doesn't remember one moment of the night in question. Not the music. Not the notorious rake she'd dragged into the middle of the dance floor. Not the flask of opium-laced brandy she'd downed without realizing it's contents... Jason York, the wicked Earl of St. Austell, can't quite forget the lady who stole his breath away the previous night. Of course, his broken nose, courtesy of the girl's brother, did have a way of making an impression. When he stumbles into Lady Philippa the next day, his ego is more than bruised when she doesn't seem to recall him at all and a scheme to make certain she never forgets him again quickly forms in Jason's mind. * * * In Jane Charles's Landing A Laird...

Unfortunately, a pair of gentlemen overhear her jest about Scotland and compromising a fellow if she has to. Before the sun has risen the next day, Moira’s name and a scandalous wager have found themselves inside the infamous betting book at White’s. One penniless gentleman after another begs Gideon Baxter, Viscount Ainsely, for his assistance in wooing Lady Moira. Unfortunately, Gideon would like to woo the charming lady himself. If only she cared more for him than for the location of his estate, he’d could be assured of where her true feelings lie. * * * In Jerrica Knight-Catania's The Marriage Trap...

In a moment of desperation, she asks her reprobate cousin to place a bet on her behalf, in hopes of trapping an unsuspecting gentleman into marriage. Tristan Wallford, Lord Swaffham, loves a good challenge. So when his friend, Rowan Findley, claims that his cousin Patience cannot be cured of her melancholy state, Tristan lays a bet that he will be the one to cure her. He could certainly use the money, after all. But as the game begins, Tristan begins to realize that not only does Miss Findley not need curing, but she might be worth trapping for himself. | ["Romance","Historical","Historical Romance","Regency Romance","Regency","Anthologies"] | 3/1/2012 | {"name":"Ava Stone","num_books":99,"num_followers":"229"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":8,"reviews_percentage":2},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":20,"reviews_percentage":5},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":97,"reviews_percentage":25},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":124,"reviews_percentage":33},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":126,"reviews_percentage":33}} | "$2.99" |

Nevertheless, because of their geographic concentration in the Upper Midwest in particular, their impact was pronounced. They differed from many other new immigrant groups in a number of ways, including the fact that theirs is not an Indo-European language, and many old-country cultural and social features reflect their geographic location in Europe, at the juncture of East and West. A fresh and up-to-date analysis of Finnish Americans, this insightful volume lays the groundwork for exploring this unique culture through a historical context, followed by an overview of the overall composition and settlement patterns of these newcomers. The authors investigate the vivid ethnic organizations Finns created, as well as the cultural life they sought to preserve and enhance while fitting into their new homeland. Also explored are the complex dimensions of Finnish-American political and religious life, as well as the exodus of many radical leftists to Soviet Karelia in the 1930s. Through the lens of multiculturalism, transnationalism, and whiteness studies, the authors of this volume present a rich portrait of this distinctive group. | null | 3/1/2014 | {"name":"Auvo Kostiainen","num_books":7,"num_followers":"1"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":1,"reviews_percentage":25},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":2,"reviews_percentage":50},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":1,"reviews_percentage":25}} | "$34.95" |

Дефо е бил бебе по време на голямата чума от 1665 г., но фактите и случките които описва са от първо лице, наистина живяло по време на чумата в Лондон. Даже в увода на книгата се споменава че този дневник е едно от малкото псевдоисторически произведения, което се приема с доверие от историците. И наистина е така - даже и само като човек чете седмичните статистически справки за починалите от чумата от различните лондонски енории, които Дефо едва ли е измислил и от които човек настръхва. Описанията на живота и порядките в Лондон и Англия през XVII в. е също достоверно и правдоподобно. От сегашна гледна точка тогавашното мислене и методи за борба с чумата и лечението й са колкото наивни, толкова и смешни, но за тогавашното общество са били напълно сериозни. Хората са нямали представа, че заразата се разпространява с ухапванята на бълхите, живеещи по плъховете, а не по въздуха. Лечението на заразените е ставало чрез разяждане с киселини или срязване на отоците по тялото на нещастните болни, за да изтече гнойта - разбира се, тези манипулации са били изпълнявани без упойка. А най-честото облекчение и утеха на болните е била религията и вярата, че това е Божие наказание за греховете им.

Тя се ражда в тогавашния лондонски затвор Нюгейт, изоставена е и отгледана от цигани. След това попада в приют и изведнъж й провървява, като една дама от висшето лондонско общество я взема за отглеждане. Един от синовете на тази дама я прелъстява и това според нея и тогавашното мислене е грях, който съсипва живота й. Оттук започват неспирните й неволи... Движещата тема не е в различните любовни похождения и приключения на героинята, а се намира в доста по-прозаична причина. Отблъскващо и отвратително е да се чете, как тогавашните мъже са избирали съпругите си по зестрите им. Последният съпруг на Мол също се жени по сметка за нея, но, според автора, той бил правилният избор. | ["Classics"] | 3/1/1722 | {"name":"Daniel Defoe","num_books":4801,"num_followers":"1700"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":2,"reviews_percentage":5},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":10,"reviews_percentage":25},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":13,"reviews_percentage":32},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":15,"reviews_percentage":37}} | null |

Sango Ngando is an esteemed Wiseman in a small Town called Ocean Valley; and he is the serving sage in a well respected and longstanding lineage of sages in this town known as the Ngando lineage. As had been the case with previous sages, Sango Ngando dwells in the small charismatic mountain town of Ocean Valley, in an area known as Lineage Avenue. Documented history has it that, the Ngando Lineage is a longstanding solemn tradition, which came into existence ever since the incipience of Ocean Valley about 10.000 years ago. Since that time, 72 sages are said to have taken up the mandate of service in this highly esteemed Ngando Lineage. Sango Ngando VII is the seventy second serving sage in this honourable Lineage of immense wisdom and power. Every serving sage had always dwelled at Lineage Avenue, a spectacular and reviving area situated about two kilometres from the business district, which is graced by the exquisite presence of well maintained beguiling fresh trees. About 200 metres from the Ngando Lineage’s formal residential abode, Sango Ngando VII has set up a public service office, called Centre for Human Acceleration (CHA). There, he carries out scheduled consultation with members of the public thrice weekly; on Monday, Wednesday and Friday respectively. On these designated days, Sango Ngando grants audience to wisdom seekers, offering them the clearest and most insightful solutions to the complex problems they face in their personal and professional lives. For residents of Ocean Valley seeking to secure audience with Sango Ngando, Prior appointment is highly recommended but not mandatory. Sango Ngando grants audience to an eclectic spectrum of people, including, couples, students, business people, politicians, just to mention a few. Attendees of Sango Ngando’s public consultation sessions always seek advice and orientation regarding matters of a personal or non-personal character. Sango Ngando appeases their various plights by employing a combination of oral methods, including, direct explanation, aphorism, analogy, metaphor, riddles and narratives. The particular combination of methods Sango Ngando elects to respond to the wisdom seeker’s inquiry is determined by the very nature of that inquiry; and the perceived state of mind of the inquirer or wisdom seeker in question. On this particular serene Monday afternoon, Sango Ngando VII was scheduled to grant audience to four wisdom seekers as follows: Denis Penda, a second year student of psychology at Ocean Valley University; Juliana Ndile, a housewife in Ocean Valley; Dr. Peter Brown of Indigo clinic in Ocean Valley; and Mr. Michael Mondi, a prominent politician. This book presents the tremendous wisdom and unrivalled insight with which Sango Ngando resolves the problems of these four enthusiastic wisdom seekers. The wisdom displayed by Sango Ngando in appeasing the plights of these wisdom seekers may be of tremendous help in your own daily life. | null | 5/26/2014 | {"name":"Emmanuel Ebah","num_books":64,"num_followers":"4"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0}} | null |

The image of a sombre and inscrutable middle-aged man called Salman Fuladvand, a lieutenant and controversial police chief under Iran's second last king. It is the memory of this photograph that begins Ali Alizadeh's story of his grandfather Salman's life, spanning Salman's youthful devotion to the advancement of his country and the emancipation of Iranian women, his conflicts with the shahs, his wrongful imprisonment, and his eventual embracing of Sufi mysticism. My Grandfather is a rare mix of narrative, memoir, history and personal exploration. It recounts Iran's journey from progressive idealism to the ravages of tyranny, imperialism and religious reaction. It is a testament to the mistakes of the past and the present, an examination of family and identity, and an interrogation of the meaning of home and belonging. As Alizadeh writes, this story is a thread to show the path out of the labyrinths. John Kinsella has Iran, My Grandfather is a work of recovery, resistance, and affirmation. I think one can say without risk of hyperbole that it is one of the most remarkable texts ever to have been published in Australia. | ["Iran"] | 5/1/2010 | {"name":"Ali Alizadeh","num_books":26,"num_followers":"6"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":0,"reviews_percentage":0},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":1,"reviews_percentage":4},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":5,"reviews_percentage":20},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":16,"reviews_percentage":64},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":3,"reviews_percentage":12}} | "$9.95" |

Myers"] | 4 | 2 | 1 | This thoughtful volume is the first to evaluate comprehensively the formation and execution of U.S. policy toward China and Taiwan during the crucial twelve years of the Bush and Clinton administrations. Drawing on an unprecedented array of sources, a group of leading international experts explores the increasingly complex environment facing policymakers in the wake of the tragic events of Tiananmen, particularly the growing role played by interest group lobbies, media commentary, and Congress. All these influences combined to dismantle the bipartisan agreement that had supported positive relations with Beijing, replacing it with a more politicized and pluralized policy arena. The authors document how, within this new context, the Bush and Clinton administrations struggled to forge consensus, implement China policies, and maintain a modicum of relations with the PRC. The study focuses systematically on the range of domestic influences, but also considers the less-obvious but vital roles played by European and Asian nations, as well as Taiwan and China itself. Offering novel interpretations based on pathbreaking research, this book will be indispensable for all those interested in understanding the intricacies that influence the delicate relationship between the United States, China, and Taiwan. | ["China"] | 11/15/2001 | {"name":"Ramon H.

Smith"] | 3.79 | 63 | 11 | In 1971, a man known as DB Cooper hijacked a Northwest Orient airliner flying from Portland, Oregon to Seattle, Washington. After exchanging the passengers at SEA-TAC airport for $200,000 and four parachutes, Cooper instructed the pilots to fly him to "anywhere in Mexico.” A few minutes after take-off, he lowered the aft staircase and jumped into the chilly, rainy night skies north of Portland.He has never been seen since, and his identity is still unknown. After forty years of investigation the FBI still doesn’t know who Cooper was or if he survived, and nothing has ever been found of the skyjacking—no parachutes, no body or clothes, nor any of the money, except for $5,800 a young boy found eight years later buried on a Columbia River beach. Adding to the intrigue, no one knows how the money got there or when.As a result, it is as if Cooper came from nowhere and returned there when he made his getaway.Now after years of research and writing, a comprehensive case history of the skyjacking is available, and the reader can examine the facts of the case, and assess the FBI's efforts to find DB Cooper. Shockingly, the Bureau’s investigation has been crippled by lost evidence, inaccurate record-keeping, and ineffective leadership. As we learned in 9-11, the FBI has difficulty "connecting the dots" in complicated investigations that span multiple jurisdictions, and the same is true with DB Cooper.For example: the FBI gave DB Cooper a 40-hour head start before anyone went looking for him in the woods of southeast Washington State. More troubling, critical evidence has been lost—the eight cigarette butts Cooper left on the plane, which would give us his DNA profile via the dried saliva. Perhaps more disturbing, though, the cigarette butts went missing after their true value was realized in 2002, along with the documentation on the FBI's findings.In addition, the FBI’s chief technical expert, Earl Cossey, was murdered in 2013 when his credibility plummeted as Internet sleuths revealed his fraudulent and deceptive history, and how the FBI was duped.

In 1932, Sonja has left the Ford family and takes employment in an architect’s office in New York City, where she finds both a new career and the love of her life. She settles in Manhattan, where she experiences both unimagined bliss and heart wrenching grief. Her mourning is eased when a child comes into her life in a most unexpected fashion. Soon, Sonja finds that she is one of the first modern women, struggling to balance work, childcare and home life. As if difficult economic times, the threat of war and a marriage rife with conflicts aren’t enough, Sonja finds her whole world threatened when the past comes back to haunt her. Author’s This is the sequel to ‘A Woman’s Place’, my historical novel that was inspired by the life story of my great-aunt Julia and her daughter Sonja. In the second part of the first novel, you can read about the early life of Sonja, who, after a globe trotting life, ended up in America in 1930, as the social secretary to a wealthy family in New York. Her subsequent story was so fascinating that, encouraged by requests from readers, I decided to try to find out what happened next. After a long search I unearthed more of the letters and diaries and was able to piece together the rest of the life story of this beautiful, feisty woman. Her later life was just as full of challenges as her youth and during my research, I found myself transported to another era, that of the time before and after the second world war. Sonja’s story is both moving and exciting and I hope you will enjoy reading it. | null | 10/30/2011 | {"name":"Susanne O'Leary","num_books":59,"num_followers":"298"} | {"1_stars":{"reviews_num":3,"reviews_percentage":1},"2_stars":{"reviews_num":4,"reviews_percentage":1},"3_stars":{"reviews_num":25,"reviews_percentage":11},"4_stars":{"reviews_num":57,"reviews_percentage":25},"5_stars":{"reviews_num":131,"reviews_percentage":59}} | "$2.99" |

"about": "Archie Comics is an American comic book publisher headquartered in the Village of Mamaroneck, Town of Mamaroneck, New York, known for its many series featuring the fictional teenagers Archie Andrews, Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge, Reggie Mantle and Jughead Jones. The characters were created by publisher/editor John L. Goldwater, written by Vic Bloom and drawn by Bob Montana. They were based in part on people met by Goldwater \"in the Midwest\" during his travels throughout the United States while looking for jobs and places to stay.Archie's first appearance in Pep Comics #22 on December 22, 1941, was drawn by Montana and written by Vic Bloom. With the creation of Archie, publisher Goldwater hoped to appeal to fans of the Andy Hardy movies starring Mickey Rooney. Archie Comics is also the title of the company's longest-running publication, the first issue appearing with a cover date of Winter 1942. Starting with issue #114, the title was shortened to simply Archie.",
