Описание: John Billow has a criminal record, has done jail time, and now practices as a paralegal, hatching out schemes that are at best, shady. He fears he is hunted by and will be killed by big pharma or implant makers he has frivolously and repeatedly sued. He elicits aid from Sarah Castle, a sex worker that he has had an ongoing relationship with. She has hidden from the mobs and CIA who wrongly accuse her of stealing from Gary Canig, her boss. Gary set her up to take the fall for Sarah's first CIA operation forcing her to hide in New York City and fend for herself. She does so, translating ancient Chinese and as a sex worker. John and Sarah leave for Lake Placid, and, on the emotionally stormy drive, discover that they love each other. Hal Foss, an unwitting patient who had both hips replaced with mesh and nano-electronics inserts, feels unwell after his surgery. He seeks out the help of the Jay Mountain Healing Center, but has a seizure and lapses into a coma before he can even discuss his case. He is cared for in the ICU and only recovers after everything that is computerized is removed from his room, to the delight of the doctors and nurses caring for him. Multiple electrical, mechanical and computer glitches occur in the hospital and town with increasing frequency and severity, until Hal's implants start an electromagnetic pulse that disables everything electrical within two miles of Lake Placid. The town is evacuated, Mirror Lake becomes a toxic sludge, killing fish and birds, and the National Guard is called in. Multiple patients die from computerized medication pump failures. The hospital is evacuated except for patients who cannot be moved. Will Williams suffers recurrent PTSD episodes due to the pulse and is cured by the Jay Mountain Healing staff including Marion, a monk-like adept, who meditates and discovers the cause of the town's destruction. John and Sarah arrive in Lake Placid where her innocence is confirmed. A trap is set for Canig, still in pursuit of Sarah, by Bennie Grimm and Will who graduated from the Military Academy and did two tours in Iraq together. They are joined by the town philanthropist, Demian Listing, and the town Sheriff, Todd Wilkins. Eventually, Canig is captured, the implants are removed from Hal Foss, curing him, and the town starts to heal. Demian Listing offers to pay all the debt that the hospital and small businesses have accumulated in the time the town had been evacuated and the hospital closed to business as usual. He enlists John to help him make reparations. Demian insists that the hospital reopen only after they agree to incorporate integrative medical practices and make the hospital a healing environment for the staff and patients. Demian meets with Jane, the hospital administrator, outlines all his goals for new proceedures at the hospital, and enjoys dinner, talking of changes he envisions. Sarah is given a new name--Elisabeth--in a naming ceremony directed by Marion. She begins a new start on her life while Canig is sentenced to life in prison and restitution to everyone he has harmed.

Path to the Dream Life is about the struggle of Imma, a young man living in Nigeria, West Africa, to rise above his circumstances and make good in the world. The changed lives and faith convictions of the friends he encounters along the way confront him with choices - choices that place him on a collision course with everyone and everything that matter to him. As Imma struggles with those choices, his concept of a dream life and the path thereto are tested.
The broken road meanders to The Life, Christ, and to Gift, the love of his life that nearly wasn't. A romance ensues that hits its own cross-roads and forces them to linger over the choice of the one - until the moments both see beyond themselves and progress in a relationship that will mirror and beckon the true Dream Life in more ways than one. Imma captures it in a poem he recites to Gift: '... But in the darkness of my doubts You lifted the lamp of love And I saw in your face The road that I should take'.

Animals are fond of feeding, fighting, and something else beginning with 'f.' But competition is fierce, and they'll need a few tricks up their sleeves to pass on their genes.
The Mating Game investigates the ins-and-outs of creative courtship rituals, eyebrow-raising evolutionary adaptations, and an array of peculiar peckers that would make Charles Darwin blush.
Each seductive specimen has its own illustrated dating profile, along with background info on its real-life mating strategies. Ever wanted to know which species engages in a spot of "penis fencing"? Is a love dart as romantic as it sounds? And what does a sea otter have in common with Christian Grey?
From aquatic artists to pebble-thieving penguins, these amorous animals will pull out all the stops to win the mating game.

Описание: A Celebration of America's Greatest Olympic Victory--the 1980 US-USSR Hockey Game Forty years after the "Miracle on Ice" captivated the world, this book deeply examines the impact that singular event had on the people who played and coached in it and how that game changed the trajectory of American hockey. Seasoned journalist John Gilbert was there every step of the way, and thanks to his detailed recordkeeping, allows readers to reexamine the game against the Soviets, what made it the upset it was, why it still resonates today, and what it did to the lives of the players. From Mike Eruzione to Jim Craig, Mark Johnson, Buzz Schneider, Jack O'Callahan, Herb Brooks, and many others, Gilbert covers all the key players and leaders and in doing so offers a deeper understanding of the emotions and the strategy, the hows and whys of the actual game, and the impact that moment had on their lives both in the immediate aftermath and today. Gilbert doesn't miss a beat in uncovering some never-before-told angles and helping expose the ripple effect the event helped create --and how the movie Miracle helped reinvigorate the story and inspire a new generation of players and fans. To explore the lead-up to one of the greatest moments in American sports and the impact on American morale in the aftermath of the Miracle, Gilbert dives deep into the archives. In doing so he offers a look at this moment unlike it's ever been done before and helps answer the question as to why it continues to capture our imaginations.

Mother Genevieve Gallois began life as a violently anti-clerical artist in turn-of-the-century Paris, but after a spritual crisis, she entered a Benedictine convent and dedicated her life to prayer and religious art. In her latter years, she began to write, and her most well-known book remains The Life of Little Saint Placid. Referred to affectionately as a comic book for contemplatives and a profound picture treatise on prayer, there is a depth of wisdom imparted amidst the bold linework of her art. One comes away from the pages of this book with less a feeling that one has learned of the life of this saint, and more with the feeling that one has gained true and lasting insight into the spriritual life.
