Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner offer the long-awaited paperback edition of Freakonomics, the runaway bestseller, including six Freakonomics columns from the New York Times Magazine and a Q A with the authors.
Which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool? What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common? How much do parents really matter?
These may not sound like typical questions for an economist to ask.
But Steven D. Levitt is not a typical economist. He studies the riddles of everyday lifefrom cheating and crime to parenting and sportsand reaches conclusions that turn conventional wisdom on its head.
Freakonomics is a groundbreaking collaboration between Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, an award-winning author and journalist. They set out to explore the inner workings of a crack gang, the truth about real estate agents, the secrets of the Ku Klux Klan, and much more.
Through forceful storytelling and wry insight, they show that economics is, at root, the study of incentiveshow people get what they want or need, especially when other people want or need the same thing.

Is there any way of making sense of it? The answer, explains groundbreaking thinker Steven Levitt, lies in economics. Not ordinary economics, but freakonomics. It is at the heart of everything we see and do and the subjects that bedevil us daily: from parenting to crime, sport to politics, fat to cheating, fear to traffic jams. In Freakonomics Levitt turns conventional economics on its head, stripping away the jargon and calculations of the experts' to explore the riddles of everyday life and examine topics such as: how chips are more likely to kill you than murder or a terrorist attack; why sportsmen cheat and how fraud can be spotted; why violent crime can be linked not to gun laws, policing or poverty, but to abortion; why a road is more efficient when everyone travels at 20mph; how the name you give your child can give them an advantage in later life; and what really causes obesity epidemics. Ultimately, he shows us that economics is all about how people get what they want, and what makes them do it. Asking provocative and profound questions about human motivation and contemporary living and reaching some astonishing conclusions, Freakonomics will make you see the familiar world through a completely original lens.

Описание: A wickedly satirical novel, filled with mystery, revenge, outlandish killings, greed and jealousy, from the multi-award-winning author
Photographer George Platt Lynes, painter Paul Cadmus, and critic Lincoln Kirstein played a major role in creating the institutions of the American art world from the late 1920s to the early 1950s. The three created a remarkable world of gay aesthetics and desire in art with the help of their overlapping circle of friends, lovers, and collaborators.
Through hours of conversation with surviving members with their circle and unprecedented access to papers, journals, and previously unreleased photos, David Leddick has resurrected the influences of this now-vanished art world along with the lives and loves of all three artists in this groundbreaking biography.

There was a time in my life when I was troubled on every side. For many years, I entertained the thought that I was sent to this world to suffer, but Jesus came and showed me that amidst adversity, a life of hope, joy, and peace is possible. I am alive today because of God's mercy and compassionate care.
Like a rose among thorns, life does come with challenges of various sorts, but as the flowers bloom amidst the thorns, the sun rises night after night, the stars shine in the dark sky, so we too may flourish amidst the complexities of life and experience a blessed and fulfilled life.
Roses Among Thorns is my message of hope. During most of my young adult life as a single mother of four young children, with God's grace guiding and directing my journey, I crawled, wept, and fought my way to victory. The Holy Spirit showed me how to use obstacles as steppingstones, and pain for my gain. It is impossible to change the past, but we can move forward to hopeful living with Jesus Christ.

That's what Kathleen English Cadmus wondered as she took one more surreal step in her quest to find and save her teenage daughter, Laura. The beautiful baby Kathleen had adopted from Korea was on the run again, fueled by another manic episode brought on by her bipolar disorder. Having already lost her son Shawn to a tragic accident, Kathleen couldn't bear the thought that she had failed to protect another one of her children. Intertwined: A Mother's Memoir is a raw but loving tribute to the pain and beauty of motherhood--the story of a mother, a daughter, a son, two marriages, and the way all of those lives are at once distinct yet inseparable. Intertwined illustrates the way the people we love become part of us--become us--and show us who we truly are. Features four pages of photos

"O Sing unto the Lord a New Song: sing unto the lord, all the earth." Psalms 96:1
From a personal testimony of the heart, through the ups and downs of every season of life, I Want to Sing Your Song is a personal prayer. It is a spiritual expression identifying the seasons and cares of this life which exemplifies the need to sing the Lord's song. Standing on His promises and His word, this is your time to enter that secret place. It is a quiet haven and a moment away from your cares, while you sit at Jesus' feet and He expresses His love back to you.
Through the Holy Spirit, God knows how to soothe the spirit. He has a unique way of speaking to us through songs and hymns of the soul. A collection of verses (poems) combined with a responsive melody each day serves to enlighten your mind, heart and soul. Imagine, the essence of Jehovah's presence embraces you in a realm of praise. The cares of this life fade away and there is a sound from Heaven nurturing your soul. Your heavenly father beckons for you to "just be with him" and a song from the heavens melts your heart.
I Want to Sing Your Song can be your prayer.
Your song for the long days.
Your song for the hard times.
Your song through the lonely nights.
Your song through the guilt and mistakes.
This can be your devotion, a time of communion as you sing to the Lord your new song. Wherever you are with your walk with God you can start with a melody.
You can start here.
