MP3 CD Format Everything about this trip to Grandma's house was different: First, because of the fire, Mrs. Treski, Evan, and Jessie had driven up to Grandma's two days after Christmas instead of the day before, missing Christmas with Grandma entirely. Second, the fire had left a hole in the back kitchen wall big enough to drive a car through! And with Grandma in the hospital and not in her house, everything felt off. Third, someone had climbed the long, slow slope of Lovell Hill to the top and had stolen the old iron bell hanging on its heavy wooden crossbeam. Who on earth would steal the New Year's Bell? And how could Grandma, Mrs.Treski, Evan, Jessie, and their neighbors ring in the New Year without it? Like a modern-day Beverly Cleary, Ms. Davies writes with heart, humor, and honesty about the inevitability of profound change and reveals just how well she understands the complex emotions of the children.

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 riveting conclusion of the 4MK trilogy, Barker takes the thriller to an entirely new level. Don't miss a single word of the series James Patterson called "ingenious."

For Anson Bishop, these three words connect a childhood to the present as he unleashes a truth concealed for decades.

When Anson Bishop, the prime suspect in the notorious 4MK serial murders turns himself in, he reveals a story completely unexpected, one that not only upends the current investigation, but one that will change the lives of all involved. Do No Evil With unrelenting tension and pulse-pounding suspense, the past unravels at breakneck speed as the truth behind the Four Monkey Killer's motive is finally revealed in this masterfully crafted finale.

A thinking person's guide to a better life. Ward Farnsworth explains what the Socratic method is, how it works, and why it matters more than ever in our time. Easy to grasp yet challenging to master, the method will change the way you think about life's big questions. About 2,500 years ago, Plato wrote a set of dialogues that depict Socrates in conversation. The way Socrates asks questions, and the reasons why, amount to a whole way of thinking. This is the Socratic method--one of humanity's great achievements. More than a technique, the method is an ethic of patience, inquiry, humility, and doubt. It is an aid to better thinking, and a remedy for bad habits of mind, whether in law, politics, the classroom, or tackling life's big questions at the kitchen table. Drawing on hundreds of quotations, this book explains what the Socratic method is and how to use it. Chapters include "Question and Answer," "Ignorance," and "Socrates and the Stoics." Socratic philosophy is still startling after all these years because it is an approach to asking hard questions and chasing after them. It is a route to wisdom and a way of thinking about wisdom. With Farnsworth as your guide, the ideas of Socrates are easier to understand than ever and accessible to anyone. As Farnsworth achieved with The Practicing Stoic and the Farnsworth's Classical English series, ideas of old are made new and vital again. This book is for those coming to philosophy the way Socrates did--as the everyday activity of making sense out of life and how to live it--and for anyone who wants to know what he said about doing that better.

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

La gran novela de Julia Navarro sobre la historia de Palestina e Israel desde finales del siglo XIX hasta nuestros días. Una historia llena de historias, una gran novela que esconde muchas novelas y que, desde su enigmático título hasta su inesperado final, alberga más de una sorpresa y emociones a flor de piel. Hay momentos en la vida en los que la única manera de salvarse a uno mismo es muriendo o matando. A finales del siglo XIX, durante la última etapa zarista, los Zucker, perseguidos por su condición de judíos, tienen que abandonar Rusia huyendo del horror y la sinrazón. A su llegada a la Tierra Prometida, Samuel Zucker adquiere las tierras de los Ziad, una familia árabe encabezada por Ahmed. Entre él y Samuel nace un fuerte vínculo, una sólida amistad que, por encima de las diferencias religiosas y políticas, se mantiene generación tras generación. Con las amenazas, la sed de venganza y muchas pasiones desatadas como telón de fondo, las vidas entrecruzadas de los Zucker y los Ziad conforman un mosaico de traiciones y sufrimientos, de amores posibles e imposibles, al tiempo que plasman la gran aventura de vivir y convivir en un territorio marcado por la intolerancia. Intensa y conmovedora crónica de dos sagas familiares, esta novela de Julia Navarro nos adentra en las vidas de personas con nombres y apellidos, que luchan por alcanzar sus sueños y que son responsables de su propio destino. «Los personajes de esta novela viven conmigo, me han enseñado mucho, forman parte ya de mi historia personal.» Julia Navarro La crítica ha dicho... «La novela más compleja de Julia Navarro. Casi mil páginas que mezclan historia y suspense, drama y política. Una obra decimonónica en pleno siglo XXI.» J. M. Pozuelo Yvancos, ABC Cultural «Una novela de personajes, unas criaturas en gran medida presas de su época y de los vaivenes históricos de ésta. Un relato ambicioso que se inicia a finales del siglo XIX y llega hasta 1948 recorriendo algunos de los sucesos más importantes de la historia contemporánea.» AreaLibros «Una intensa y emocionada crónica de una saga familiar que ahonda en el vértigo de la condición humana al tiempo que propone una conmovedora reivindicación de que por encima de las patrias están las personas.» La Región

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?

The investment profession is in a state of crisis. The vast majority of equity fund managers are unable to beat the market over the long term, which has led to massive outflows from active funds to passive funds. Where should investors turn in search of a new approach? Pulak Prasad offers a philosophy of patient long-term investing based on an unexpected source: evolutionary biology. He draws key lessons from core Darwinian concepts, mixing vivid examples from the natural world with compelling stories of good and bad investing decisions—including his own. How can bumblebees' survival strategies help us accept that we might miss out on Tesla? What does an experiment in breeding tame foxes reveal about the traits of successful businesses? Why might a small frog's mimicry of the croak of a larger rival shed light on the signs of corporate dishonesty? Informed by successful evolutionary strategies, Prasad outlines his counterintuitive principles for long-term gain. He provides three mantras of investing: Avoid big risks; buy high quality at a fair price; and don't be lazy—be very lazy. Prasad makes a persuasive case for a strategy that rules out the vast majority of investment opportunities and advocates permanently owning high-quality businesses.

¿Cómo surgen las epidemias, las modas, los éxitos de venta, el fenómeno de boca a boca o cualquiera de esos pequeños cambios que sacuden nuestra vida cotidiana al provocar grandes efectos? En esta obra revolucionaria que ocupa desde hace años los primeros puestos en las listas de ventas de Estados Unidos, Gladwell, un auténtico gurú de los negocios, analiza la trayectoria de varios productos y tendencias de gran éxito hasta descubrir cómo y por qué se alcanza el punto de inflexión a partir del cual algo se convierte en un fenómeno de masas: el punto clave. Gladwell nos presenta a personas responsables de difundir nuevas ideas y tendencias y examina la moda, los programas infantiles de televisión, la conducta de los fumadores y hasta la publicidad directa, con el fin de dilucidar el proceso del contagio de ideas . «La mejor forma de entender los cambios misteriosos que jalonan nuestra vida cotidiana (ya sea la aparición de una tendencia en la moda, el retroceso de las oleadas de crímenes, la transformación de un libro desconocido en un éxito de ventas, el aumento del consumo de tabaco entre los adolescentes, o el fenómeno del boca a oreja) es tratarlos como puras epidemias. Las ideas, los productos, los mensajes y las conductas se extienden entre nosotros igual que los virus.» Malcolm Gladwell Reseñas: «Malcolm Gladwell, escritor de éxito masivo, se ha convertido en uno de los grandes especialistas de nuestro tiempo en iluminar las zonas de sombra con su mezcla de periodismo, estudios científicos, historia y filosofía.

Description

Something that matters to you just isn't right. First you see the problem, then you feel it. It starts with a rush of adrenaline and often a rush of words, but it ends with an overwhelming sense of irritation that impacts how we talk to those we live and work with. We know anger affects us negatively, but we don't know any other way to respond when life goes wrong. In this groundbreaking book David Powlison undertakes an in-depth exploration of the roots of anger, moral judgment, and righteous response by looking in a surprising place: God's own anger. Powlison reminds us that God gets angry too. He sees things in this world that aren't right and he wants justice too. But God's anger doesn't devolve into manipulation or trying to control others to get his own way. Instead his anger is good and redemptive. It causes him to step into our world to make wrongs right, sending his own Son to die so that we can be reconciled. He is both our model for change and our power to change. Good and Angry sets listeners on a path toward a faithful and fruitful expression of anger. Powlison offers practical help for people who struggle with irritation, complaining, or bitterness and gives guidance for how to respond constructively when life goes wrong. You, your family, and your friends will all be glad that you listened to this book.
