• Fantastic Creatures of the Mountains and Seas: A Chinese Classic

    01
    The gorgeously illustrated contemporary edition of an ancient Chinese text—for fans of fantastic beasts everywhere
     
    Fantastic Creatures of the Mountains and Seas is a new translation for contemporary readers of a classic Chinese text that is at once the geography of an ancient world, a bestiary of mythical creatures, and a book of cultural and medicinal lore. Illustrated throughout with more than 180 two-color drawings that are so sinuous they move on the page, it is a work for lovers of fantasy and mythology, ancient knowledge, fabulous beasts, and inspired art.
     
    The beings catalogued within these pages come from the regions of the known world, from the mountains and seas, the Great Wastelands, and the Lands Within the Seas that became China. They include spirits and deities and all sorts of strange creatures—dragons and phoenixes, hybrid beasts, some with human features, some hideous or with a call like wood splitting, or that portend drought or flood or bounty; others whose flesh cures disease or fends off nightmares, or whose pelt guarantees many progeny.
     
    Drawn from The Classic of Mountains and Seas, Fantastic Creatures is the work of two members of China’s millennial generation, a young scholar and writer once known as the youngest “Genius of Chinese Cultural Studies” and an inspired illustrator trained in China and the United States, who together managed to communicate with the soul of a 4,000-year-old beast and have brought forth its strange beauty. Their work has been rendered into English by the foremost translator of modern Chinese literature in the West.

    As Olivia watches the island grow larger on the horizon, she wonders if returning to this place was the right decision…

    When Olivia Elliott decides to spend the summer on the remote Morwen Island where she grew up, she can’t help but wonder if returning home is a good idea. After all, she still remembers the heartbreak she left behind on those shores many years ago.

    Back on the island, Olivia soon adjusts to life as an islander and rents a cottage for the summer. But, before long, she runs into her first love, Jory Trethewey, a handsome local boatbuilder who never left the remote community. And despite the fact she can still recall their painful breakup, Olivia finds she now can’t stop thinking about him…

    When Jory offers to help Olivia fix up the cottage, the two begin to spend more time together. And as they renovate, they realise the house has its own secrets and they decide to put the past behind them and investigate its history.

    As Olivia tries to find out what happened to the young woman and her airman, she finds herself frustrated by the lack of answers. What became of their story? Did risking everything for love work out for them? And, if it did, should she follow in the lovers’ footsteps, and finally trust her heart?

    As Ellie stood on the boat, watching the small island come into view, she wondered what awaited her on shore. What secrets would she uncover in this place?

    When Ellie Roberts inherits a cottage on a remote Scilly Isle, she’s shocked. She’s never heard of the previous owner, Patience Ellis, so why did she leave Ellie her legacy?

    Overwhelmed with unanswered questions, Ellie travels to the isolated island. Windswept from the boat, salt spray still on her skin, she searches for Patience’s whitewashed cottage, hidden behind overgrown ivy. But when she steps inside, the house feels strangely familiar, and she has a memory of laughing as a child with her beloved mother in the window seat overlooking the sea… The mother she lost when she was only a child.

    Determined to find out more, Ellie meets enigmatic local Branok Shore. While at first he seems uninterested, he believes he can help. Charmed by his green eyes, and curious about his past on the island, he and Ellie grow closer, but Ellie knows she needs to understand her own story before she can embrace the future. And when Branok prises open Patience’s dresser, filled with letters from the Second World War, Ellie discovers the shocking secret Patience was forced to hide – and the truth that will change her own life forever.

    The letters tell the story of a brutal storm on a dark night in the depths of war, and of an injured soldier who begged Patience for help, and asked her to make an impossible choice…

    But the letters don’t hold the answers Ellie so desperately needs. Why did Patience leave her home to her? And how can Ellie have memories of the cottage, when she’s never been there before? When Ellie finally uncovers the truth, will she be strong enough to put the fragments of her life back together?

    An absolutely heartbreaking and unforgettable read, perfect for fans of gripping family dramas, and for those who enjoy the novels of Debbie Macomber, Fiona Valpy and Nancy Thayer.

    As she inhales the salty sea air, Charlotte glimpses the island on the horizon. Seeing it after all these years still sends a shiver down her spine. Should she be returning to this place?

    When teacher Charlotte Kingston is sent to close a school on an isolated Scilly Isle, it is her first time on the island since summer holidays spent there with her grandparents. But with a newly broken heart, she’s desperate to travel as far from her life on the mainland as possible.

    Not long after she arrives, two visiting children find themselves in need of a place to stay when their grandmother falls ill. When Charlotte agrees to take care of the boys, she suddenly has a reason to keep the school open a little longer. With a renewed sense of purpose, Charlotte begins to connect with the local islanders who tell her more about her family.

    Intrigued, Charlotte decides to decode her grandmother’s old letters from the Second World War. They reveal a story of a forbidden love that defied the darkness of war, and of a beautiful, brave young man who would risk everything for his country, even if meant losing the woman he loved…

    Just as Charlotte realises the secret will change her life forever, the children’s handsome, enigmatic stepfather, Ash, arrives to take care of them. But Charlotte doesn’t trust him – he left the boys once before, why wouldn’t he do it again? But as the tension grows between them, Charlotte feels an attraction developing, too. And although she can’t stop thinking about Ash, and his soft, full lips, she’s afraid to open her heart again.

    But rereading her grandmother’s story, Charlotte realises there is courage and redemption among the pages. Is this a sign that everyone deserves a second chance, maybe even Ash?

  • The Opium Wars: A History From Beginning to End (History of China)

    08

    Discover the remarkable history of the Opium Wars…

    Free BONUS Inside!

    Violent confrontation between armed groups over the supply of illegal narcotics is something we commonly associate with criminal gangs in modern cities, but in the mid-nineteenth century Great Britain went to war with Imperial China in order to continue to supply Chinese addicts with opium. The two wars which followed have become known as the Opium Wars, and they led to the utter defeat of China, the establishment of a British colony in Hong Kong, and the continuation of a narcotics trade that was worth millions of pounds each year to the British.

    The Opium Wars exposed the weaknesses of the Chinese Qing dynasty in terms of its military abilities and internal corruption. They also exposed divisions in Victorian Britain where people were beginning to question the morality of going to war to support an illegal narcotics trade which caused misery and death for millions of Chinese. In the end, the British were able to overcome their reservations and prosecuted these two wars with great success. British casualties were small and the gains enormous—the British opium trade to China would continue for more than fifty years after the end of the Second Opium War.

  • Irish Civil War: A History from Beginning to End (History of Ireland)

    08

    Discover the remarkable history of the Irish Civil War…

    Free BONUS Inside!

    The Irish War of Independence which ended in July 1921 led directly to the agreement of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, an agreement that provided Ireland with a measure of independence. The Irish Free State was created, and Ireland was granted a level of autonomy it had not enjoyed for more than one hundred years.

    However, the treaty contained a clause which was to divide Ireland, literally and politically. The six counties in the north which formed Ulster were allowed to opt-out and to remain a part of the United Kingdom. The island of Ireland became two separate countries for the first time—The Irish Free State in the south and west and Northern Ireland in the north. This division caused bitterness among many Irish people who had fought for independence. Some even viewed the signing of the treaty and the creation of a separate Northern Ireland as a betrayal of all they had fought for. Others accepted that the treaty was not perfect but saw the creation of the Free State as an important first step on the road to complete independence for Ireland.

    In late June 1922, growing animosity between Pro and Anti-Treaty factions erupted into armed conflict in the center of Dublin. For the next ten months, the Irish Free State was wracked by a bitter, bloody, and brutal civil war between those who sought to protect the new government and those who wished to destroy it. This is the story of the Irish Civil War, its origins, and its consequences.

    Discover a plethora of topics such as

    • The War of Independence and the Anglo-Irish Treaty
    • The Attack on the Four Courts
    • Civil War Breaks Out
    • The Deaths of Arthur Griffith and Michael Collins

  • Bosnian War: A History from Beginning to End

    01
    Discover the tragic history of the Bosnian War…
    Free BONUS Inside!

    In the annals of modern history, few episodes cast a darker shadow than the Bosnian War. It was during this war that the world became acquainted with the chilling term “ethnic cleansing,” a phrase that encapsulates the unspeakable acts of mass deportation, imprisonment, rape, and murder perpetrated against civilians based on their religious and ethnic identities. During the Bosnian War, the media bombarded the global audience with nightmarish images of brutal massacres, mass graves, and undeniable evidence of heinous crimes against humanity. Yet, for many observers, the roots and reasons behind this war remain enigmatic and elusive.

    Yugoslavia was a nation deeply fractured by ethnic and religious divisions. The iron grip of Josip Broz Tito’s communist dictatorship, established after World War II, momentarily silenced these tensions, but upon Tito’s death and the subsequent disintegration of the communist regime in Yugoslavia, these dormant fissures erupted once more, giving rise to a period of anarchy, violence, and conflict known as the Yugoslav Wars. The Bosnian War was not a single, isolated conflict but rather formed part of this wider series of wars. To unravel the complexities of the Bosnian War, one must delve into the intricate web of connections with these other conflicts and the fragmentation of Yugoslavia itself. Even then, it is essential to recognize that the root causes of this war still linger.

    This is the story of the complex, horrifying, and brutal human tragedy that became known as the Bosnian War.

    Discover a plethora of topics such as

    • World War II: The Creation of Socialist Yugoslavia
    • Rise of Nationalism in Yugoslavia
    • Violence Begins
    • Bosnian Genocide: Ethnic Cleansing

    Wars of the Roses

    * * *Download for FREE on Kindle Unlimited + Free BONUS Inside!* * *

    Read On Your Computer, MAC, Smartphone, Kindle Reader, iPad, or Tablet.

    The Wars of the Roses were a series of civil wars in England fought between the House of Lancaster and the House of York between 1455 and 1485. Over a thirty-year period, England had five rulers, three of whom were killed or executed. Power changed hands on even more occasions as an ineffective king, Henry VI, was subject to mental breakdowns and protectors of the realm were regularly appointed to rule during these episodes, thereby disaffecting Henry’s ambitious queen, Margaret of Anjou. Though the battles fought were limited in scope, one of these, the Battle of Towton, is considered the bloodiest battle ever fought on English soil. The nearby river was described as running red with the blood of some 38,000 soldiers who lost their lives that day.

    Inside you will read about…

    ✓ Prelude to War: A House Divided
    ✓ A Mad Monarch and His Quarrelsome Relatives
    ✓ The Ultimate Family Feud
    ✓ The Final Battle
    ✓ The Tudor Dynasty
    And much more!

    By the end of the Wars, a new dynasty—the Tudor Dynasty—was born, the powers of the nobility were significantly diminished, and the system of feudalism was all but eradicated. The monarchy was strengthened, and the royal line of succession was secured for the Tudor line. As family feuds go, the Wars of the Roses were historically significant in changing the trajectory of power in England. This book tells the compelling story of this tumultuous period in English history in succinct, yet informative detail that is both educational and entertaining.

    How to Make Your Prices (Almost) Irresistible?

    Customers pay prices. Customers are the same human beings who process their world with predictable psychological mechanisms and mental shortcuts.

This book presents the most comprehensive collection of psychological pricing strategies and tactics currently available. It introduces you to intriguing, hard-to-believe insights into consumer psychology, subconscious persuasion, and people’s perception of prices.

      2016 UPDATED 3RD EDITION: 30% NEW CONTENT + EXCLUSIVE SEO TEMPLATES

      Matthew Capala provides something different and necessary: an overview of the SEO essentials suitable for any reader, even those without a strong technical background.

      ***** Dorie Clark, HBR Writer and Author of “Stand Out” (Portfolio)

      There are a multitude of resources available to inform marketers and business owners of how to stay up to date with online marketing, but one that’s well worth reading is “SEO Like I’m 5” by Matthew Capala.

      ***** Brian Honigman on THE HUFFINGTON POST

      Matthew’s book got me to act, and if you read it, you will certainly start acting. I know “SEO Like I’m 5” is one of those books I will be reading daily, a page here, another page there.

      ***** Claudia Azula Altucher, Author of “Become an Idea Machine”

      ***** Top 10 SEO Books to Read in 2016

      BrightEdge Blog

      “SEO Like I’m 5” is written in a way that is accessible to anyone who is curious about how SEO really works without spending a lot of time on theory.

      ***** Linda Gharib, SVP, Digital Marketing at Citigroup

      While SEO has gotten harder than ever, Matt explains it in a way that will help you get in the game with a winning playbook.

      ***** Michael King, Founder of iPullRank

      Make no mistake; this is no ‘SEO for dummies.’

      Rather, ‘SEO Like I’m 5’ is the ultimate beginner’s training system for forward-thinking businesses and entrepreneurs that will get you found on Google, Bing, social media, and blogs.

      You will also learn how to attract followers and leads like a magnet by building a vibrant community around your content, which both users and search engines will love, and leveraging untapped, high-growth platforms and social networks.

      In addition to taking you through the strategic process of building and optimizing your online presence, “SEO Like I’m 5” features hundreds of free tools, ‘under-the-hood’ hacks, case studies, and actionable tips.

      Lastly, to help you put your new knowledge into action, we’ve included five SEO templates to jumpstart your SEO efforts. These templates will let you gather enough data to prioritize efforts and develop a strategic online visibility action plan. They will also help you audit your site, develop effective content, prospect bloggers, and track your progress.

      Why Read this Book?

      There is an overload of information on the topic of SEO, much of it misguided or outdated, coming from self-proclaimed gurus.

      Contrary to common knowledge, the ‘art of SEO’ is not defined by your ability to write code or hack Google’s algorithm. The truth is that today, online success has more to do with your ability to create amazing content, establish a strong social media presence, and build relationships with bloggers than writing lines of code or stuffing keywords into your meta data.

      ‘SEO Like I’m 5’ takes you through an action-oriented, workshop-style, pain-free process to plan, build, and optimize your online presence, including:

      – Where to start your SEO efforts
      – Which free platforms and tools to use
      – How to build a search-friendly website
      – How to improve your website technical performance
      – How to build a killer content strategy
      – How to become a “rock star” blogger
      – How to find “golden nugget” keyword opportunities
      – How to attract backlinks to your content
      – How to build relationships with bloggers and influencers
      – How to build a winning social media strategy
      – How to make money online

      Who is this Book for?

      – Entrepreneurs and startups
      – Bloggers and content creators
      – Small business owners
      – Marketing professionals
      – Students and faculty
      – Authors, artists, and celebrities
      – PR professionals and communicators
      – Developers

      The cool thing about ‘SEO Like I’m 5’ is that it offers more than just text. It comes with hundreds of screenshots and step-by-step instructions you can actually use while reading it. My hope is that you will find the book entertaining as well.

    • Understanding SEO: A Systematic Approach to Search Engine Optimization

      03
      I’m trying to pull a Wittgenstein here, and by that, I mean writing the definitive book on a topic and then declaring the matter solved. Similar to Wittgenstein, I will fail, however while doing so, I will enhance the status quo of an entire discipline: Search Engine Optimization – SEO.

      The primary goal of this book is to deliver a framework – that is, a way to think about – SEO. If you have online experience, whether you are a manager, developer, editor, product owner, or hacker, you should be able to read and comprehend this book. You should then be able to use what you have learned to make informed SEO decisions for your business. Be aware this book does not waste space replicating any technical specs (those you can easily google yourself), but it will explain what you need to do, when you need to do it, and why you need to do it. Also, this book is about SEO, organic search engine optimization, and not about SEA, AdWords or PPC.

      This book is heavy on theory and light on examples. It is up to you to use your imagination, your experience, and your initiative to combine it all in a way that is suitable for your company.

      If you are an SEO manager within an SEO agency, then this book is not for you. You are part of the problem, not part of the solution. This book exists to make you redundant.

    • Chokepoints: How the Global Economy Became a Weapon of War

      THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

      ‘Chokepoints is a masterful narrative of US economic warfare in the 21st century.’ Financial Times

      ‘Chokepoints is a compelling and dramatic narrative about the new shape of geopolitics’ Wall Street Journal

      ’A gripping, firsthand account. Unparalleled.’ Chris Miller, author of Chip War

      Globalisation was once hailed as the great leveller, bringing prosperity to all. But the world has changed. As Russia, China and Iran have sought to upend the international order, America and its allies have mounted unprecedented economic retaliation. The global economy is now a weapon of war.

      Chokepoints is a thrilling behind-the-scenes account of one of the most pivotal geopolitical shifts of our time. Drawing on extensive research, personal experience and interviews with key players, Edward Fishman, a former top US State Department official, takes us deep into the back rooms of power around the world. Here we meet an eclectic group of innovators: the diplomats, lawyers and financial whizzes who’ve masterminded a fearsome new arsenal of economic weapons, exploiting Western dominance in global finance and technology, and harnessing the power of Wall Street, the City of London and Silicon Valley to confront a rising authoritarian axis.

      The sanctions against Russia might be the biggest coordinated act of economic warfare we’ve seen, but it won’t be the last. Control over modern-day chokepoints – such as the US dollar, advanced microchip technology and critical energy supply chains – has become the key to geopolitical power in the twenty-first century. The result is an economic arms race among great powers and a fracturing global economy. Utterly gripping and brimming with rare insight, Chokepoints is indispensable reading to understand the forces that will shape our world for decades to come.

    • The Short Sunderland: The Legendary WWII Flying Boat (Great Planes of World War Two Book 3)

      04
      A compelling history of the most successful flying boat ever to serve the Royal Air Force—the ‘Queen of the Boats’—the Short Sunderland.

      Ideal for fans of Alexander McKee, Andrew Hendrie, Ken Delve, and Martin W. Bowman.

      The story of the Sunderland flying boat began with the innovative Short brothers, Horace, Albert, and Hugh, who, since 1908, were at the forefront of British aeroplane design and manufacturing. Having trained the first Royal Navy officers as pilots in their flying machines and successfully deployed seaplanes during World War One, they were well-positioned in 1933 to meet the RAF’s need for a long-range, four-engine flying boat with armaments, sleeping accommodations, and catering facilities. The result was the Short Sunderland, entering RAF service and history books in 1938.

      In this book, Chaz Bowyer traces the evolution of this remarkable aircraft and the valuable contribution it made to the Allied campaign worldwide throughout the Second World War. Bowyer’s research is thorough and exhaustive, drawing on sources that include original documentation, reports, and many first-hand accounts from those who flew or worked on the Sunderland in the UK and abroad.

      The Sunderland served the RAF for a total of 21 years, during which it is estimated to have been instrumental in destroying or damaging at least 60 German and Italian U-boats. Operating as part of Coastal Command, it played a vital role throughout the war: protecting shipping routes and convoys, reconnaissance, supplying aid and evacuations, air-sea rescues, and passenger transportation, to name but a few. Post-war, its usefulness endured, supporting the Berlin Airlift, with many aircraft converted for use in civil aviation. Reading this account, it is easy to see why the Sunderland inspired such awe and affection among those who lived and worked with it.

    • Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don’t

      07

      Leadership is not a rank, it is a responsibility. Leadership is not about being in charge, it is about taking care of those in your charge.

      When we take care of our people, our people will take care of us. They will help see that our cause becomes a reality.

      In Leaders Eat Last, Simon Sinek, internationally bestselling author of Start With Why, investigates these great leaders from Marine Corps Officers, who don’t just sacrifice their place at the table but often their own comfort and even their lives for those in their care, to the heads of big business and government – each putting aside their own interests to protect their teams.

    • Turn The Ship Around!: A True Story of Turning Followers into Leaders

      08

      ‘David Marquet is the kind of leader who comes around only once in a generation . . . his ideas and lessons are invaluable’ Simon Sinek, author of Start With Why

      Captain David Marquet was used to giving orders. In the high-stress environment of the USS Santa Fe, a nuclear-powered submarine, it was crucial his men did their job well. But the ship was dogged by poor morale, poor performance and the worst retention in the fleet.

      One day, Marquet unknowingly gave an impossible order, and his crew tried to follow it anyway. He realized he was leading in a culture of followers, so he upended the traditional leadership model and put control in the hands of his crew. Before long, his team became fully engaged and the Santa Fe skyrocketed from worst to first in the fleet.

      No matter your business or position, you can apply Marquet’s approach to create a workplace where everyone takes responsibility for their actions, people are healthier, happier – and everyone is a leader.
