Book Description
Ayna could predict the future. Cari could find what was lost. Gair thought he was ordinary. The three children of Gest, the chief of Garholt, know the perils of the Moor on which they live. The Dorig, their people's enemies, are cold-blooded, fierce underwater creatures who terrify anyone unlucky enough to happen upon them. The Giants are dangerous and violent. But it's not until their home is invaded that Gair learns of a dying curse that endangers all three peoples of the Moor. A curse that ordinary Gair, with the help of his extraordinary brother and sister, may be able to break, but only at the most dreadful risk to all three, and to the Moor itself.

Book Description
“Powerful….A gripping tale that is a mystery only in the same sense as To Kill a Mockingbird was….Brilliant, insightful, moving.” —Chicago Sun-Times There are excellent reasons why New York Times bestselling author Laura Lippman has won the Edgar®, Agatha, Anthony, Nero Wolfe, and every other major award the mystery genre has to offer. To the Power of Three is just one of those reasons. Lippman’s brilliant and disturbing tale of three inseparable high school girlfriends in an affluent Baltimore suburb who share dark secrets literally until death, To the Power of Three is this “writing powerhouse” (USA Today), who has “exploded the boundaries of the mystery genre to become one of the most significant social realists of our time” (Madison Smartt Bell) operating at the very top of her game. Not merely crime fiction, but fiction that gets to the deep psychological, emotional, and human roots of a terrible crime, Lippman’s novel is one that will not be easily forgotten—a must read for fans of Kate Atkinson, Tana French, Jodi Picoult, and Harlan Coben

Defining power as the ability to get what we want, this volume identifies three major types of power: threat power; economic power; and, integrative power. It argues that threat power should not be seen as fundamental since it is not effective unless reinforced by economic and integrative power.

Book Description
There are those who can grind through a long list of shit to do day after day. They're called robots. Good for them! This book is for everybody else; for those millions of us who keep reverting to the old habits soon after we adopt somebody else's way of doing things, because again it turned out to be too much of a drag to do. The main problem with most self help books is that they encourage the "suck it up, tough it out, and you'll make it" mentality, but don't take into account how the human brain actually works. Building resilience is one thing, but your brain's main purpose is survival. Toughing shit out leads to stress. Stress kills, so your brain says "F*ck that!," and you're back to square one. So... If you've ever looked at a long to do list and thought "How the hell do I get all this shit done?" this book is for you.It will help you make shit simpler, so you can actually do it. Teacher, author, and learning expert Oskar Cymerman debunks the "tough it out" myth sold in most self help books. "The Power Of Three" will show you how to simplify your personal and your professional life and how to come up with YOUR OWN SYSTEM. You will learn how to: 1. Get Going: Simplify, Design and Follow Your Own Success System, Figure Out What's Most Important. 2. Level Up: Focus on Improvement not Productivity or Efficiency, New Ways to Network, Face Fears and Solve Problems. 3. Crush It: Become Elite in Your Field, Live a More Fulfilled Life, Reinvent Yourself.Learn to apply the Power of Three. Simplify to amplify. It will change your life.
