Some called him "The Scourge of Princes" whilst to others he was a rogue and a scoundrel. This is a new biography of Pietro Aretino, the sixteenth-century poet, satirist, journalist, publicist, propagandist, art critic, social climber, lothario, pornographer and blackmailer of Kings, Popes and Emperors. It is the astonishing story of a man who began life as the penniless son of a cobbler and his wife, the town harlot, who rose to amuse Pope Leo X, infuriate Pope Adrian VI with his acerbic pasquinades, and befriend Pope Clement VII. Minted as a Knight of Rhodes, given a pension (and a golden necklace of lying tongues) by the King of France, and permitted to ride at the side of the Emperor Charles V, Pietro Aretino refused to allow his modest social beginnings to define him. An entirely self-created individual, "The Divine Aretino" was arguably the first modern celebrity. He was the close friend of perhaps the greatest Venetian artist of his era, Titian. His "Lustful Sonnets" scandalised all of Rome, he had the nerve to teach Michelangelo how and what to paint, whilst his bestselling collections of candid and personable Letters leave us with an astonishingly vivid account of life in sixteenth-century Venice. This is the engaging portrait of a man, a poet, a lover, and a survivor in turbulent times.

In this second book of the series, Robert Delgado takes us into worlds of awe-inspiring beauty; like the fabulous realm of Bhutaloka, or the ancient site of Baalbek, with its long disremembered secrets."Ignore everything you know; now the truth goes beyond all rubrics. The Rishis have discovered that the leader of the evil Mantris is bound to become the greatest and darkest power the world has ever known."Will the friends recover the Travelling Mirror and thwart his plan? Will the Mantris realize that they are facing genuine Rishis? Will loyalties remain?In their effort to save mankind, the friends are now divided; Yuri and Justin are desperately searching for stranded humans in another world; while in Central Asia, Robin, Sara, Kiserian, Maya and Jelani, defying time, keep the deadly race for the Book of Power. Yet, hope arrives, but it lies in fear and in knowledge from an eerie past.

Offense has us hold on to resentments and unforgiveness and before we know it bitter roots are formed and we keep rehearsing the hurts and offenses and it's a vicious cycle wrecking relationships and lives. Unforgiveness can actually shorten your life because serious diseases can develop as a result of the stress and pressure that offense, bitterness, resentment and unforgiveness can put on a person.Over the last few years God showed me that I can rehearse and hold on to it all or I can release it to Him. That's easy to say, but it's a process of daily continuing to release the person/s that hurt us and allow God to work in us. Forgiveness is really about obedience. We forgive because God instructs us to do so.Unforgiveness hinders our faith. Forgiveness takes practice. We have to do it daily to get it from head knowledge to heart knowing.

La KGB es una de las abreviaturas más famosas del siglo XX, y se ha convertido en sinónimo de las tenebrosas y a menudo violentas acciones de la policía secreta de la Unión Soviética y de las agencias de seguridad interna. De hecho, se utiliza a menudo para referirse a las agencias de seguridad del Estado Soviético a lo largo de su historia, desde la creación de la Checa (Comisión Extraordinaria) en 1917 hasta la eliminación oficial de la KGB en 1992. Tanto si se relaciona con los excesos de la Guerra Civil rusa, las purgas de Stalin e incluso con Vladimir Putin, la KGB ha sido considerada durante mucho tiempo como el peor ogro del Occidente durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX. La KGB: La historia y el legado de la notoria agencia de espionaje de la Unión Soviética examina la historia de una de las agencias más famosas de la historia. Además de fotos que muestran a personas importantes, lugares y eventos, aprenderá sobre la KGB como nunca antes.

Mickey Cohen, who died in 1976, was a colorful, feared West Coast gangster-gambler who knew the biggest names in Hollywood including the Rat Pack, was a confidant of Bugsy Siegel, a friend of Las Vegas' late Liz Renay and on first names with the biggest guys in the Mafia, plus Frank Sinatra, Richard Nixon and Billy Graham. Brad Lewis' book about Cohen draws from thousands of resources -- a virtual treasure trove of Mafia-related books, articles and interviews. Written by a tough and knowledgeable insider, Lewis tells the whole Mickey Cohen story during the period when he was involved in the McClellan Hearings in Washington and the beginnings of the Senate Select Committee on Organized Crime in Interstate Commerce, also known as the Kefauver hearings. All the whispered anecdotes, the news items and the underside of the crime rackets where Mickey operated are in this book, open to scrutiny. From Bugsy Siegel to Lucky Luciano and Albert Anastasia to Meyer Lansky and Carlos Marcello, Mickey knew them well and worked closely with them for many years. This is Mickey Cohen! Inside and Out! (This book is an abridged version of Hollywood's Celebrity Gangster.)

The crime was unthinkable: a respected doctor is convicted of brutally murdering his pregnant wife. The trial that followed was a media circus--one often compared to the O.J. Simpson trial. The popularity of the case would go on to be one of the alleged inspirations of the TV show "The Fugitive" (and later the Harrison Ford movie of the same name)-something the creators deny, but fans insist is true. This book proves that truth is always more interesting than fiction. It looks at the murder, the suspects, and the ultimate outcome of one of the most notorious murders of all time.

Saul was the first king of Israel, and he was a good example of a bad leader. He was also the perfect example of an insecure leader. An insecure leader does not do what is right but what is popular. He leaves the good that he knows he should do and does what will make the people sing his praise even when it is wrong. And he does this because he is concerned with how people perceive him and always wants to look good before others. Saul was such a leader; he once admitted to Samuel, "I feared the people and obeyed their voice." Saul was a bad leader mainly because of his insecurities. His story is a good example of what can happen when a people are led by an insecure leader. This book focuses on his bad leadership of the nation of Israel.

In this first-person account, thriller novel author, and scuba diving safety expert, Eric Douglas examines his own recovery from open-heart surgery and the road back to health and fitness as a Heart Survivor. In January 2016, Douglas failed a stress test and ultimately had quintuple bypass surgery. Looking back over the previous year, he recognized many times that he denied symptoms and ignored the possibility that his heart was in trouble. Following the surgery, Douglas made two promises: to be as public as he could about his own recovery process so others could learn from it; and to get back in shape so he could return to scuba diving. Douglas' story is for anyone diagnosed with heart disease whether they are treating their condition with diet and medications, received stents to open arteries or have had open-heart surgery. To further illustrate the recovery process, Douglas surveyed more than 100 survivors to learn about their diagnoses, the changes they made in their lives and how their own recoveries progressed.
