This expertly presented book is an authoritative, informed account of the rise and fall of the Knights Templar, from their rapid progression from humble men of the cross to powerful warrior-monks, and to their arrest, persecution and dissolution in a tempestuous period of history covering two centuries. Clad in a white mantle with the splayed red cross the knights took part in the Crusades with martial zeal and strength - but their influence at the height of their powers extended well beyond war, into diplomacy, politics and the banking and technology of the age. The book looks at the speculations, myths and mysteries of these legendary knights in a period that lasted only 200 years, but still holds fascination some 700 years later. It looks at controversial claims and conspiracies surrounding the Knights Templar and makes informed opinions about likely truths behind them - such as whether they discovered America and whether they had guardianship or special knowledge of the Holy Grail. It also makes links with the Turin Shroud, the Ark of Covenant, the Skull of Sidon, Freemasonry and other mysteries that have passed down the centuries. It shows the historical legacy of the Templars today and how they have influenced modern ways of life and modern organizations. Beautifully illustrated with more than 200 photographs and fine art images.

Calculus Made Easy is a book on infinitesimal calculus originally published in 1910 by Silvanus P. Thompson, considered a classic and elegant introduction to the subject. </b></h3><hr /><b>The original text continues to be available as of 2008 from Macmillan and Co., but a 1998 update by Martin Gardner is available from St. Martin's Press which provides an introduction; three preliminary chapters explaining functions, limits, and derivatives; an appendix of recreational calculus problems; and notes for modern readers. Gardner changes "fifth form boys" to the more American sounding (and gender neutral) "high school students," updates many now obsolescent mathematical notations or terms, and uses American decimal dollars and cents in currency examples.<hr />Silvanus Phillips Thompson (19 June 1851 – 12 June 1916) was a professor of physics at the City and Guilds Technical College in Finsbury, England. He was elected to the Royal Society in 1891 and was known for his work as an electrical engineer and as an author. <hr />Thompson's most enduring publication is his 1910 text Calculus Made Easy, which teaches the fundamentals of infinitesimal calculus, and is still in print. Thompson also wrote a popular physics text, Elementary Lessons in Electricity and Magnetism, as well as biographies of Lord Kelvin and Michael Faraday.

THIS BOOK DOESN'T CONTAIN ANY ARABIC LETTERS! ALL ARABIC WORDS IN THIS BOOK WERE WRITTEN IN ENGLISH-TRANSLITERATION! Have you always wanted to learn how to speak (MSA) Modern Standard Arabic? Or learn how to speak the Lebanese, the Egyptian, the Emirati, the Palestinian, the Syrian, Saudi, Iraqi, Libyan, or the Jordanian dialect but simply didn’t have the time? Well if so, then, look no further. You can hold in your hands one of the most advanced and revolutionary method that was ever designed for quickly becoming conversational in a language. In creating this time-saving program, master linguist Yatir Nitzany spent years examining the twenty-seven most common languages in the world and distilling from them the three hundred and fifty words that are most likely to be used in real conversations. These three hundred and fifty words were chosen in such a way that they were structurally interrelated and, when combined, form sentences. Through various other discoveries about how real conversations work—discoveries that are detailed further in this book—Nitzany created the necessary tools for linking these words together in a specific way so that you may become rapidly and almost effortlessly conversant—now. If your desire is to learn complicated grammatical rules or to speak perfectly proper and precise Arabic, this book is not for you. However, if you need to actually hold a conversation while on a trip to an Arab speaking country, to impress that certain someone, or to be able to speak with your grandfather or grandmother as soon as possible, then the Nitzany Method is what you have been looking for. This method is designed for fluency in a foreign language, while communicating in the present tense. Nitzany believes that what’s most important is actually being able to understand and be understood by another human being right away. More formalized training in grammar rules, etc., can come later. This isn’t a pronunciation book. Thus, this book is recommended for those with prior knowledge in pronunciation of the Arabic language. However, for those who aren’t previously familiar, this book does provide some basic tools to teach pronunciation. The only purpose of this book is to provide you with the necessary tools to become conversational in a foreign language in record time. As previously stated, though, with regards to grammar and pronunciation, you are on your own! This is one of the several, in a series of instructional language guides, the Nitzany Method’s revolutionary approach is the only one in the world that uses its unique language technology to actually enable you to speak and understand native speakers in the shortest amount of time possible. No more depending on volumes of books of fundamental, beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels, all with hundreds of pages in order to learn a language. With Conversational Arabic Quick and Easy, all you need are 10 colloquial dialects. Learn Arabic today, not tomorrow, and get started now!

It's true that some people spend years studying Spanish before they finally get around to speaking the language. But here's a better idea. Skip the years of study and jump right to the speaking part. Sound crazy? No, it's language hacking. Unlike most traditional language courses that try to teach you the rules of Spanish, #LanguageHacking shows you how to learn and speak Italian through proven memory techniques, unconventional shortcuts and conversation strategies perfected by one of the world's greatest language learners, Benny Lewis, aka the Irish Polyglot. Using the language hacks -shortcuts that make learning simple - that Benny mastered while learning his 11 languages and his 'speak from the start' method, you will crack the language code and exponentially increase your language abilities so that you can get fluent faster. It's not magic. It's not a language gene. It's not something only "other people" can do. It's about being smart with how you learn, learning what's indispensable, skipping what's not, and using what you've learned to have real conversations in Spanish from day one. The Method #LanguageHacking takes a modern approach to language learning, blending the power of online social collaboration with traditional methods. It focuses on the conversations that learners need to master right away, rather than presenting language in order of difficulty like most courses. This means that you can have conversations immediately, not after years of study. Each of the 10 units culminates with a speaking 'mission' that prepares you to use the language you've learned to talk about yourself. Through the language hacker online learner community, you can share your personalized speaking 'missions' with other learners - getting and giving feedback and extending your learning beyond the pages of the book . You don't need to go abroad to learn a language any more.

Linda Walsh Jenkins developed the ideas and guidance in this practical book by teaching playwriting as well as working with playwrights, directors and productions of new plays for several decades. Through 90 daily lessons and hundreds of writing exercises, illustrated with examples from dramatic literature, she helps you: * Explore the richness of your dramatic world and its themes * Discover multiple facets of your dramatic characters * Create and sustain an active throughline * Find a balance between planning ahead and writing freely * Learn techniques for composing your unique play * Become confident with your own voice and style * Rewrite and develop your play for production “I have taken one writing class in my life. It was from Linda Jenkins when I was a student at Northwestern. She was an invaluable support and mentor as I wrote my very first play.” - John Logan (Tony Award-Winning Playwright for Red) “The first play I ever wrote was during ninety days of intense work in Linda Jenkins' fabulous class. Her encouragement and humor kept me going then, and they buoy me even today. If not for her belief in me, I don’t know that I would have pursued a career as a writer.” - Nancy Rawles (award-winning author of Miz Sparks Is On Fire and This Ain’t No Drill) “There is no one I know whose knowledge of the development of dramatic art rivals that of Linda Jenkins. She knows how a play works inside and out, and knows how to teach that elusive and ephemeral craft to others. Linda has been both my teacher and my colleague and I treasure her input on all my work. Quite simply, if you want someone to teach you playwriting, she is the best.” - Sally Nemeth (TV writer for Law & Order, author of The Heights, the Depths and Everything in Between) “I am forever grateful to Linda Jenkins for her ability to be compassionate and firm at the same time, trusting me to follow my instincts and guiding me in principles of storytelling and character. She taught me to trust my voice. Her expert understanding of form, story, dialogue and character has been the basis for my understanding of the art (and craft) of playwriting.” - Bruce Ward (playwright of Lazarus Syndrome and Decade: Life in the 80’s) “As a young playwright, I was helped by Linda Jenkins to place myself in each specific moment of my character’s physical life, to genuinely discover the action that set my play in motion. As her student, I experienced a delicate balance of collaboration, critique, and guidance, without ever losing hold of the story I had set out to tell. Today, as a teacher, I work daily to create that same environment of curiosity and trust with my own students, as they explore their own playwright’s voice. So much of what they learn from me, I learned from Linda. I am proud to extend the reach of her personal, practical approach to the craft of playwriting.” - Jeff Hall (Founding Director of The Young People’s Theatre Project) Linda Jenkins’ playwriting class is the only class I have ever needed. Linda’s sense of dramatic arc and insightful character exploration techniques have been the foundation of my playwriting career. It is difficult to tread the line between art and what is commercially viable, but Linda’s ability to communicate the basic tenets of form and structure helped me create a playwriting process which has served me successfully, writing straight plays and musicals, in regional and Off-Broadway productions. Linda will teach you what you need to know.” Lisa Diana Shapiro (playwright of Labor Pains, A Comedy in Nine Months, and Princess Phooey) “With an expert’s knowledge of how structure and content combine with context to create a universe of dramaturgical possibilities, Linda opened my eyes and my ears and my heart to the possibilities within my own writing. She taught me that, at least in playwriting, the world is what you make of it.” David Simpatico (playwright of Life After Death and Cruel Shoes)

Nouvelle édition revue et augmentée du best-seller de Tabou. Cet ouvrage est considéré par les spécialistes du sujet comme la bible du plaisir féminin et son auteur comme la papesse de l’éjaculation féminine ! Bien qu’aujourd’hui l’existence du point-G en tant que zone hautement érogène ne fasse plus aucun doute, rares sont les livres à en faire la démonstration. Avec cet ouvrage, Deborah Sundahl, précurseur de l’éveil sexuel féminin, ne se limite pas à définir le point-G, elle nous en dresse la carte de manière précise, pratique et amusante. Mais surtout, elle va bien plus loin en dévoilant un mystère encore plus grand : celui de l’éjaculation féminine. Sujet controversé, l’éjaculation féminine existe bel et bien et l’auteure se fait fort de vous le démontrer à travers cette nouvelle édition. Agrémenté de nouvelles techniques, informations et illustrations, ainsi que de liens vidéos, témoignages et interviews, ce guide est un indispensable, comme tous ceux de la collection « guide Tabou » ! Deborah SUNDHAL est une experte de la sexualité féminine. Elle n'est ni docteur en médecine, ni psychologue ou sexologue. Sa connaissance n'est pas issue des bancs de la faculté – et c'est là l'intérêt de son ouvrage – mais de son expérience personnelle, des groupes de travail sur la sexualité féminine qu'elle anime depuis presque 20 ans, lieux où elle a rencontré des centaines de femmes, de tous physique, âge, origine sociale ou culturelle… C'est du terrain qu'elle tire ses connaissances, qu'elle n'a pas hésité à confronter à la science pour en comprendre plus exhaustivement les rouages physiologiques.

This book summary and analysis was created for individuals who want to extract the essential contents and are too busy to go through the full version. This book is not intended to replace the original book. Instead, we highly encourage you to buy the full version. Trauma happens in everyday life. Veterans and their families experience the aftermath of combat, one in five Americans has been molested, one in four grew up as alcoholic, one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. One of the pioneers on trauma, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk has spent three decades studying how trauma shapes the body and the brain which affects the trauma victim's capacity for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust. He leads us through innovative treatments that offer alternative paths to recovery by activating the brain's neuroplasticity. The Body Keeps the Score shows various studies by leading experts where they expose the power relationships have in hurting and healing—and it shows hope for regaining control over our own lives.
