Book Description
This world and the next sounds as though there are only two forms of existence, but that is only the beginning. Milton Warner is not only a very gifted medium but his soul travels further than just 'the other side'. He has a challenge: To rid the earth and surrounding spiritual levels of the terrible evil which threatens to destroy everything. He realises there is a specific target, although with every possible answer there are numerous questions. The interaction between the different levels is important for the sake of their eternal existence but only a chosen group have been selected to fulfil the final task. Any previous theory about wormholes or time locks may leave you with a very different outlook on such things when you view them from another perspective. Each character is an individual in their own right, some with unique talents such as spirits Ariel and Fluke, or the spiky Jo, who is a bit wayward and colourful with her retorts. Warning: It may play with your mind.

A #1 New York Times bestseller, this innovative and wildly funny read-aloud by award-winning humorist/actor B.J. Novak will turn any reader into a comedian—a perfect gift for any special occasion!

Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers
Author: Robert M. Sapolsky
Publisher: Holt Paperbacks
ISBN: 1429935650
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 559
Book Description
Renowned primatologist Robert Sapolsky offers a completely revised and updated edition of his most popular work, with over 225,000 copies in print Now in a third edition, Robert M. Sapolsky's acclaimed and successful Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers features new chapters on how stress affects sleep and addiction, as well as new insights into anxiety and personality disorder and the impact of spirituality on managing stress. As Sapolsky explains, most of us do not lie awake at night worrying about whether we have leprosy or malaria. Instead, the diseases we fear-and the ones that plague us now-are illnesses brought on by the slow accumulation of damage, such as heart disease and cancer. When we worry or experience stress, our body turns on the same physiological responses that an animal's does, but we do not resolve conflict in the same way-through fighting or fleeing. Over time, this activation of a stress response makes us literally sick. Combining cutting-edge research with a healthy dose of good humor and practical advice, Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers explains how prolonged stress causes or intensifies a range of physical and mental afflictions, including depression, ulcers, colitis, heart disease, and more. It also provides essential guidance to controlling our stress responses. This new edition promises to be the most comprehensive and engaging one yet.

Read Virginia Ironside's posts on the Penguin Blog. A screamingly funny and poignant story about embracing life beyond middle age Marie Sharp is heading toward sixty and is just fine with it.

Now she’s ready to settle into a quiet, blissfully boring routine. No Italian classes or gym memberships or bicycle trips across Europe, thank you very much! Marie just wants to put her feet up and “start doing old things.” She’s even sworn off men! But as it turns out, life still has some surprises in store, the biggest of which is a new grandson on the way. What’s more, Archie, her old childhood crush, suddenly reenters her life, and her closest friend falls seriously ill. Armed with a biting sense of humor, Marie wrestles with a life that refuses to follow her plans—and may still offer more possibilities than she realizes.

You Don't Need No Stinkin' Stockbroker
Author: Douglas Cappiello
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 059509287X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
This book is written for all people who would like to enter the world of investing, but just don't know how to get started. Unlike books written for "idiots" or "dummies" this book is geared toward intelligent people who simply need a bit of knowledge and advice. It starts with a primer on stocks, bonds and mutual funds, and proceeds to describe the important concepts of asset allocation, diversification, risk and dollar-cost averaging. It proceeds to a step-by-step guide to getting started and maintaining your own investment portfolio. The book is written by two physicians who learned the hard way about investing while running a busy clinical practice. While not professional investors, the authors are quite experienced through investing their own money and assisting friends and colleagues with their finances. The book is written in plain English, and does not resort to jargon or cartoons to keep the reader's attention. Many thanks go to Carolyn Smith, a professional investment advisor, who supplied technical support and to Bonnie Monte, a professional editor, who edited the manuscript.
