Book Description
Life is cruel. I tried so hard to avoid pain, to live carefully, and to keep a level head until I was ready to settle down . . .much later. Why is it that the people who don’t want to take risks get pushed into them the most? All I wanted was to make it to graduation with my friends, to go to college, and to focus on cheerleading—something that made me happy. I never asked for this—any of it. But now, here I am with a gaping hole in my chest. I can barely breathe. I didn’t want to need him, but I do. And he left me. How could he do this to me after making me love him? I wish I could hate him. Maybe then my heart could mend. I have a secret. But it won’t be a secret for long. I don’t think I can do this alone. He found me—someone that’s earned my trust over the years. He would never hurt me. And that’s what makes him more appealing. Then he made me an offer that’s hard to refuse. And just when I thought things were getting better, the biggest twist of them all was thrown in. If my heart survives the shock, which do I choose? Either way, someone will lose. FATE SERIES, #3

Tempting Fate
Author: Paul C. Avey
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501740393
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
Unpacking of the dynamics of conflict under conditions of nuclear monopoly, Paul C. Avey argues in Tempting Fate that the costs and benefits of using nuclear weapons create openings that weak nonnuclear actors can exploit. Avey uses four case studies to show the key strategies available to nonnuclear states: Iraqi decision-making under Saddam Hussein in confrontations with the United States; Egyptian leaders' thinking about the Israeli nuclear arsenal during wars in 1969–70 and 1973; Chinese confrontations with the United States in 1950, 1954, and 1958; and a dispute that never escalated to war, the Soviet-United States tensions between 1946 and 1948 that culminated in the Berlin Blockade. Strategies employed include limiting the scope of the conflict, holding chemical and biological weapons in reserve, seeking outside support, and leveraging international non-use norms. Avey demonstrates clearly that nuclear weapons cast a definite but limited shadow, and while the world continues to face various nuclear challenges, understanding conflict in nuclear monopoly will remain a pressing concern for analysts and policymakers. Thanks to generous funding from Virginia Tech and its participation in TOME, the ebook editions of this book are available as Open Access volumes, available from Cornell Open (cornellpress.cornell.edu/cornell-open) and other repositories.

Book Description
From the team that brought you The Obstacle Is the Way and Ego Is the Enemy, a daily devotional of Stoic meditations—an instant Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestseller. Why have history's greatest minds—from George Washington to Frederick the Great to Ralph Waldo Emerson, along with today's top performers from Super Bowl-winning football coaches to CEOs and celebrities—embraced the wisdom of the ancient Stoics? Because they realize that the most valuable wisdom is timeless and that philosophy is for living a better life, not a classroom exercise. The Daily Stoic offers 366 days of Stoic insights and exercises, featuring all-new translations from the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, the playwright Seneca, or slave-turned-philosopher Epictetus, as well as lesser-known luminaries like Zeno, Cleanthes, and Musonius Rufus. Every day of the year you'll find one of their pithy, powerful quotations, as well as historical anecdotes, provocative commentary, and a helpful glossary of Greek terms. By following these teachings over the course of a year (and, indeed, for years to come) you'll find the serenity, self-knowledge, and resilience you need to live well.
