    MARS Once known as the great project, a united Earth began colonizing the red planet in international unity. Any country that could afford to settle on Mars did so. It became the largest melting pot of the solar system since the formation of the United States. Of course, it was not to last. When the Great War between the Pacific Alliance and the European Union began twenty years ago, the United Martian settlements had a dilemma as they made up nations from both sides. Cries for independence went unheeded, and slowly but surely, the peaceful world was dragged into the conflict. Kayla Lieberman grew up in the American community of New Brooklyn but has never considered herself American. She is a Martian and proud of it. But when she is recruited into the department of outland security under the auspices of Charlotte Kensett, Kayla is faced with a choice.... Stand with Mars or turn her back on everything she ever knew..>Enter the world of Kayla Lieberman, where the only perception that truly matters is yours.

    The Tailor's Daughter by Lois Baer Barr does more than transport readers to an earlier time. The novel immerses us in a rich, sometimes, strife-filled tale of day to day life we can all relate to. Immigration, the Great Depression, a life-altering flood, and the impact of war all shape the story of the Toplansky family who just want what we all want, their part of The American Dream.

    Многим, наверное, знаком афоризм Козьмы Пруткова Если хочешь быть счастливым, будь им. Возможно, это звучит обманчиво просто мол, стоит только захотеть - и птица счастья в ваших руках. И поначалу может показаться, что автор над вами слегка подшучивает. Но вдумавшись, вы можете прийти к выводу, что в афоризме заложен серьезный смысл. Именно так воспринимает его Леона Соколова - автор книги Руководство к благополучию (Wellness Manual). Она прекрасно осознает некую двойственность, заложенную в словах Пруткова С одной стороны, найти счастье вроде бы просто, а с другой, это требует желания, усилий, воли, настойчивости, чтобы изменить свою жизнь к лучшему и почувствовать удовлетворение от неё, - утверждает она. - Вот в этом противоречии и состоит интрига книги. Конечно, у каждого свое представление о счастье. Само это понятие довольно растяжимое. Леона склонна больше рассматривать в нем не столько философскую суть, сколько более практическую сторону ощущение здоровья, бодрости, благополучия, гармонии, спокойствия, удовлетворенности жизнью. Мой подход к благополучию прост, - поясняет она. - Если вы хотите добиться нужных результатов, научитесь уделять пристальное внимание самым важным вещам позитивно мыслить, уметь анализировать, формулировать выводы, ставить перед собой цели и достигать их, правильно питаться, пить полезные напитки и регулярно упражняться. Я создала собственный метод исследования и познания жизни и себя, - говорит автор Руководства к благополучию. - Мое восприятие, жизненный опыт и склонность к тому, чтобы чувствовать себя комфортно и вести активный образ жизни, воплотились в этой книге. Цель моя - помочь людям правильно (сбалансированно) питаться, хорошо чувствовать себя в любом возрасте, во всём находить светлые стороны и смотреть позитивно на всё, что нас окружает. Эпиграфом к одной из глав Соколова взяла известную фразу Антона Чехова В человеке должно быть все прекрасно и лицо, и одежда, и душа, и мысли. Одежду можно купить, лицо при современных средствах косметологии нетрудно улучшить. А вот с душой и мыслями посложнее. Тут потребуется определённая работа. И тому, кто за нее возьмётся, прекрасным подспорьем послужит книга Руководство к благо

    The Reality Game is the second volume in the 'Way Back Home' series that continues the extraordinary exploration into the nature of existence. This exploration is based on the understanding that humanity has contact with a Unified Field of consciousness that exists beyond matter and physical life. The commentaries in this second volume are based upon a set of communications with ABE (the Unified Field), mostly from question and answer-based sessions, from the end of 2018 until late June 2019. The author has written these commentaries to explore a unique series of penetrating communications that cover the subjects of relation and relationality. The book is divided into six sections: Relations with Ourselves; The Reality Game; Relations with the World Around Us; Contact with the Greater Universe; Consciousness, Time & Energy; and Clarifying the Way Back Home. We live in a world that is now defined by our digital connections and communications. We are witnessing a transformation across the planet into a rapidly expanding physical-digital ecosystem that operates 24/7. Planet Earth is undergoing transformation as well as an electro-terraforming. From the viewpoint of technological progress, all this would seem so wonderful. Then why so much strife, struggle, and suffering? The problem is that while we have enhanced our connections, we have simultaneously neglected our relations. For this reason, and more, it is important and timely for these commentaries to be shared along with their original messages. This book is Volume 2 in the WAY BACK HOME SERIES KINGSLEY L.

    My Dreams - Journal for Creative KidsKeeping a journal can be a rewarding activity for children from an early age. Journaling can help children express their thoughts and emotions in a familiar private space. It also promotes creativity and improves their writing skills. As dreams may reflect an unconscious mind or may contain symbolic and metaphorical elements, by recording them, children get a very different opportunity to explore, interpret, and understand their experiences and feelings. The provided writing prompts further encourage imagination and creativity. Also, discussing their dreams with other children or parents could be a great bonding experience. Finally, keeping a journal is an enjoyable and engaging activity!

    "Hope" was composed in 2020 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is a simple, yet beautiful duet for flute and piano. The evolving melody passing between the instruments represents life's changing tides. There are periods that are graceful and pensive and others that are fleeting and exciting. The end of the piece is grave like looming depression, but it finally resolves in a bright cord-this symbolizes how even as we face difficult situations in life, there is always hope. This piece is an international-award-winning composition. "Hope" is idiomatic and can be enjoyed by many performers. The performance level is grade 3 and the duration is ca. 2' 10." This sheet music book includes the score and instrumental parts. Listen to a performance of "Hope" here: https: //youtu.be/mAgStaoFJy8?si=fp3JUMyB5IYzV_2W Amazon #1 New Release 2024 Xavier Hersom (b.1995) is an international-award-winning American composer. Though influenced by tonal music of the Romantic period, Hersom's compositions are inspired by current national issues.

    "A brilliantly written, absorbing book which puts the full impact of the '36 Olympic games-and its aftermath-into proper perspective. Seldom does a book immediately draw you in like this one does. An important book about a critical time in world history." -ERIK SHERMAN, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF NINE BOOKS INCLUDING 'DAYBREAK AT CHAVEZ RAVINE: FERNANDOMANIA AND THE REMAKING OF THE LOS ANGELES DODGERS' "As a fan of 'THE BOYS IN THE BOAT' and 'CITIZENS OF LONDON' this novel did not disappoint. A clever and captivating look behind the scenes of the 1936 Berlin Olympics. I couldn't put it down." -DANIEL P. HANLEY, ACADEMY AWARD-WINNING EDITOR, 'APOLLO 13 ' American Olympic Committee President Avery Brundage, unmoved by the new Nazi regime's anti-Jewish doctrines, leads the fight to participate in the 1936 Berlin Games after much debate of a U.S. boycott. Brundage desperately wants to be on the International Olympic Committee. If he doesn't get the Americans to Berlin, he can kiss that dream goodbye. When the vote is decided in Brundage's favor, AP Sports Editor, Alan J. Gould, friend and champion of the athletes, travels to Berlin to cover all of the "games" being played. Through his eyes we see the machinations of Brundage's complicity with the Nazis, the tenacity of the proud American athletes, and the extreme pressure from the Nazis on their German athletes. Their stories, heartbreaking and tragic, give rise to feats of heroism that go beyond the playing field. PLAYED is a cauldron of politics, sports, espionage and courage. Along the way we meet some of the most famous people of the time; Mae West, Charlie Chaplin, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Joseph Goebbels, Leni Riefenstahl, Eva Braun and the madman himself, who vowed to "make Germany great again," Adolf Hitler.
