Описание: The six-volume set of The Grave Robbers' Chronicles is much more than a horror-filled adventure story with likable characters and cliff-hanger plot twists. Author Xu Lei has created a world based upon facts and some of the more unbelievable details in these books are actually quite real. Corpses that have resisted decomposition for millennia have been discovered in China. The most famous of them is Lady Dai, discovered in Changsha and now kept in the Hunan Provincial Museum. This lady, whose body has remained largely intact in the 2000 years since her death, boasts skin that remains "moist and supple." Some of her joints are mobile be moved, her organs are intact, and she still has her eyelashes, as well as her left eardrum. The secret of her body's survival continues to be a mystery to modern science. The caves in Xu Lei's novels, with their tunnels that link mountain peaks and their deep lakes and waterfalls, may seem incredible but they exist. One particular cavern, the Er Wang Dong cave in Chongquing Provence, is so huge that it has its own weather system. Thick clouds and heavy fog emerge from the humidity formed in the floor of the cave as it hits the colder air above. It also contains deep pools and swift-running streams, and who knows? Perhaps within the very depths of the cave lies an undiscovered waterfall. The deadly giant salmon in Bronze Tree of Death has to be mythical, right? Wrong. In recent years, a grouper was caught in the South China Sea near the Nansha Islands that weighed in at 683 pounds. The monstrous fish was a Pacific Goliath Grouper, a species of fish that can weigh up to 1000 pounds, and almost makes Xu Lei's salmon sound like a sardine.

Автор: Megna Giovanna, Russo Fabrizio Название: Menage a Trois - IO, Lei E La Rossa ISBN: 1291669930 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781291669930 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 12810.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Fabrizio racconta le sue avventure in moto da enduro, descrive e rivive i percorsi, gli ostacoli, le cadute, le pietre, gli entusiasmi. Lo fa con passione e fervore, con lo sguardo raggiante e soddisfatto proprio di un bambino che ha appena terminato di giocare con il fango. Giovanna ascolta, percepisce la gioia di cui tenta di comprendere il segreto, si diverte a divagare con la fantasia e il pensiero, riflette su cosa possa spingere il suo uomo a dedicarsi con tanta passione e sacrificio alla sua moto. E, per capirsi fino in fondo, il loro rapporto dovr diventare un m nage trois, legato da una cinghia di jeans western. Il racconto M nage trois rappresenta la profonda intesa di una coppia che conduce alla perfetta condivisione dello spirito endurista e alla sincronica voglia di percorrere insieme strade inesplorate.

While the nation's GDP has doubled in the last thirty years, significant increases in family income have been restricted to a small subset of the American population. This disjunct between national economic growth and stagnating incomes in all but the very top tier of the population corresponds with increasing economic inequality and a lack of social and economic mobility. As a consequence, neighborhoods and metropolitan areas have become more polarized. Stark geographic differences in levels of poverty, income, health outcomes, job opportunities, lifetime earning potential, and educational attainment highlight the degree to which place matters in terms of social and economic opportunity. Shared Prosperity in America's Communities examines this place-based disparity of opportunity and suggests what can be done to ensure that the benefits of economic growth are widely shared. Contributors' essays explore social and economic mobility throughout the country to illuminate the changing geography of inequality, offer a portfolio of strategies to address the challenges of place-based inequality, and show how communities across the nation are implementing change and building a future of shared prosperity. Approaching the problem from the vantage point of economics, sociology, and public policy, Shared Prosperity in America's Communities offers a timely analysis of the country's growing socioeconomic and geographic division and shows how communities can respond to the challenge of economic inequality to build a nation of opportunity for all.
