If you are a fan of history, you will love this book. The stories it contains are fascinating but somehow do not make it into the traditional classroom. Without this book, many of these stories would remain buried and our true history would be lost forever. From the days of slavery through to today, things are not the way we have learned. If you are a conspiracy theorist, you will also love this book. While all the stories are true and provable, many will have the intrigue and excitement of the best conspiracy theories. There are many reasons why history is lost, forgotten, or buried. Often the political nature of contemporary events requires a less than truthful narrative in order to meet the political demands of each particular time era. The narrative is passed on long enough that it is accepted as the fact. Digging a little deeper, though, will expose the real truth. Some stories are so sensitive that the government withholds the official documentation of the history. Much of this information is released later, but often goes unnoticed. Some is never released. In times of war, the winning side writes history. Sometimes that history is not entirely truthful. Looking at the entire picture requires accepting that the losing side also has a story, a history that needs to be told. No matter how learned you are, I guarantee this book will surprise and delight your mind and expose you to realities. Welcome to the "Real History, and the Lies We Were Told." Be sure to look for the entire series. 1. Science and Technology, 2. Culture and Society. 3. Military and Government

Much of what Maxine Waters says is nonsensical. It may be a jumble of incomplete thoughts, ramblings, or emotional vitriol. Her speeches are confusing but are usually entertaining. Occasionally, the listener can decipher one of Maxine Waters'' confusing messages. Unfortunately, those messages are often so disconnected from mainstream views and reality that confusion would have been preferable. This book explores the confusion, craziness corruption, and anger that makes Maxine Waters... SPECIAL

Set after a violent rebellion in Roman-occupied Judea, The Blood of Innocents explores the political conflicts behind thePassover that became the first Easter.

This easily accessible book focuses on those moments when knowing exactly what to say is an absolutely necessary challenge. From the light-hearted "how to react when someone turns you down for a date" or "what to say when you notice someone''s fly is open" to the more serious "what to say to a co-worker who has had a miscarriage or to a friend who has suffered the sudden death of a parent," As A Gentleman Would Say differs from other etiquette books in that it not only offers suggestions for the correct thing to say in more than 100 social situations-it also gives examples of the wrong thing to say!

You''ve scaled Mt. Everest, performed open-heart surgery, designed a skyscraper, and argued a case before the Supreme Court. But have you ever invited friends into your home to enjoy a meal you''ve prepared? Like any new challenge, you can feel at ease if you understand the situation and are prepared. Practical and unpretentious, A Gentleman Entertains reveals essential preparations to take before entertaining, ideas for parties with foolproof recipes, hundreds of tips and suggestions to make your guests think you know what you''re doing, and stress-relieving hints for disaster control when things go wrong. Whether throwing a cocktail party, hosting a Super Bowl party, or entertaining your family for a special meal, A Gentleman Entertains will take the guesswork and uncertainty out of entertaining and turn an ordinary get-together into a memorable event.

Here’s a thought. Entertaining isn’t just something that happens when the ladies decide to break out the good china. Any gentleman who enjoys the company of friends, a delicious meal, or a great drink should know how to host a gathering. So shove those frozen burritos out of the way and make some room in the freezer for your stainless steel ice bucket. It’s time to entertain. John Bridges and Bryan Curtis have mapped out everything you need to know for any occasion, from dinner parties to tailgate potlucks. Whether you’re hosting clients for a business lunch at an upscale restaurant or corralling your rowdy friends for a weekend cookout, these are the fundamentals you’ll need to ensure you and your guests have a memorable time. The details have been wrangled out already—all that’s left is for you to sit back and enjoy the company of your favorite people.

Mastering and becoming comfortable with the ability to make a toast or write a note will pay rich dividends in a gentleman''s life-both professional and personal. Toasts and Tributes helps men master these important skills with examples of more than 40 different toasts and 40 different notes. In addition to each example of what to say are, perhaps more importantly, examples of what not to say.

A Gentleman Gets Dressed Up is not a book about style—it is a book about the rules—rules that will allow any man to feel more comfortable in the choices he makes about what he wears. Let’s get one thing straight. Clothes do not make the man . . . but they do make a difference. And regardless of whether we like the idea of appearances driving impressions, a man’s exterior often is perceived as an indicator of what’s happening on the interior. Fortunately, tasteful and appropriate dressing doesn’t require inordinate amounts of time or money. Any man can hit the door in fine shape with only a little forethought and a bit of attention to a few guidelines. Never mind the heady cologne and designer labels. With a navy blazer, a good bar of soap, and a regular haircut regimen, he’ll be well on his way to becoming the guy who knows exactly how to suit up, regardless of the occasion. Most important, A Gentleman Gets Dressed Up illustrates how a man’s natural confidence and personality are the best foundation for any wardrobe.
