Book excerpt: She’s a fortune-hunter. He’s nobody’s prey. Adam, Earl of Bexley, lives to work. His only relief is the sordid savagery of bare-knuckle boxing. Not women, and definitely not a disreputable, scheming woman who dances in secret with such passion… Caro Small is desperate to escape her selfish family. Her only chance is a good marriage, and she intends to marry Adam—whether he likes it or not. But the more she schemes to entrap him, the more she risks trapping her own heart. Adam won’t be caught by a fortune-hunter’s ambitious schemes. But the vulnerable, passionate woman underneath the plots might just bring him to his knees.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Enlightening and inspiring.” — Walter Isaacson “Barry probes the American soul, finding its biases, but also, nurtured by its complicated past, our better angels — with an opportunity to move forward.” — Ken Burns Bringing together two of America’s unifying loves — road trips and Abraham Lincoln — Frank Barry takes readers on a thought-provoking journey into the heart of our democracy and the soul of our country A year into his marriage and having never driven an RV, Frank and his wife Laurel set out from New York City in a Winnebago to drive the nation’s first transcontinental route, the Lincoln Highway, which zigzags through small towns and big cities from Times Square to San Francisco. Using the spirit of Abraham Lincoln to guide them across the land, they hope to see more clearly what holds the country together — and how we can keep it together, even amidst political divisions have grown increasingly rancorous, bitter, and exhausting. Along the way, Frank and Laurel meet Americans whose personal experiences help humanize the nation’s divisions, and they encounter historical figures and events whose legacies are still shaping our sense of national identity and the struggles over it. This unforgettable journey is full of what makes any great road trip memorable and enjoyable: music, conversation, and laughter. By the end, readers will have a clearer picture of how we have arrived at a period that carries echoes of the Civil War era, and — using Lincoln as a guide — where the path forward lies.

Download or read book An Analysis of Steven Pinker's The Better Angels of Our Nature written by Joulia Smortchkova and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reasoning is the critical thinking skill concerned with the production of arguments: making them coherent, consistent, and well-supported; and responding to opposing positions where necessary. The Better Angels of Our Nature offers a step-by-step class in precisely these skills. Author Steven Pinker's central thesis is simple: mankind has become increasingly less violent over the centuries, and will continue to do so. Pinker is aware, though, that many people instinctively believe the opposite, and Better Angels is devoted to marshalling data to support and illustrate this central argument, as well as a series of secondary arguments about how and why humanity has become less violent. Pinker's interpretative skills – understanding the meaning of the complex evidence from history – are also on display throughout, as he tackles the ambiguities of his data, the problems it presents, and the viable inferences one can draw from it.

And what better way than by returning to their roots as magical-girl idols! Quickly gaining galaxy-wide fame, traveling in their starship Angels’ Wings, from their permanent berth on the Truck Stop at the Center of the Galaxy, David and the Better Angels jump from planet to space station to asteroid, singing and dancing, offering benefits for charity, and offering appearances for their fans. But is that all they’re doing? Some wonder … Seemingly magnets for trouble, the Angels attract more than their fair share of unwanted attention. But they also collect new allies along the way.

Book excerpt: Now available in one volume, three heartwarming novels from USA Today bestselling author Hope Ramsay. A Christmas Bride 'Tis the season in Shenandoah Falls, but widower David Lyndon has a bah-humbug approach to the holidays - until he's shown the spirit of the season by his daughter and her godmother, Willow. Paired up to plan a Christmas wedding for friends, David finds it harder and harder to stay immune to Willow's charms, especially when he sees how much joy she brings his daughter. After a simple kiss under the mistletoe turns into something more, David is hoping he can turn the magic of the holiday season into the love of a lifetime. A Small-Town Bride Amy Lyndon is tired of being the Poor Little Rich Girl of Shenandoah Falls. In her prominent family, she's the ordinary one. But when her father tries to marry her off, she knows it's finally time to stand up for herself, despite the consequences. When Amy shows up looking for work with his landscaping crew, Dusty McNeil thinks there's no way such a pampered princess will ever get her hands dirty. But as Amy proves him wrong, Dusty wonders whether a high-society woman like Amy can ever fall for a man like him. Here Comes the Bride Laurie Wilson never imagined being left at the altar by longtime boyfriend Brandon Kopp. In the aftermath, she does what any sensible woman would - she swigs champagne and considers keying his car. Until someone knocks on her door with a much better idea for revenge . . . Best man Andrew Lyndon decides to help Laurie feel better - and make Brandon jealous - by setting Laurie up on a string of "dates." But Andrew's plan works a little too well because suddenly he's the one falling for Laurie. Includes a sneak peek from the next book in the Chapel of Love series, The Bride Next Door.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspiring and insightful, Our Better Angels: Seven Simple Virtues That Will Change Your Life and the World celebrates the shared principles that unite and enable us to overcome life’s challenges together. “When the waters rise, so do our better angels.”—President Jimmy Carter Jonathan Reckford, the CEO of Habitat for Humanity, has seen time and again the powerful benefits that arise when people from all walks of life work together to help one another. In this uplifting book, he shares true stories of people involved with Habitat as volunteers and future homeowners who embody seven timeless virtues—kindness, community, empowerment, joy, respect, generosity, and service—and shows how we can all practice these to improve the quality of our own lives as well as those around us. A Vietnam veteran finds peace where he was once engaged in war. An impoverished single mother offers her family’s time and energy to enrich their neighbors’ lives. A Zambian family of nine living in a makeshift tent makes room to shelter even more. A teenager grieving for his mother honors her love and memory by ensuring other people have a place to call home. A former president of the United States leads by example with a determined work ethic that motivates everyone around him to be the best version of themselves. These stories, and many others, illustrate how virtues become values, how cooperation becomes connection, and how even the smallest act of compassion can encourage actions that transform the world around us. Here are tales that will make readers laugh and cry and embrace with passion the calling of our better angels to change the way we take care of ourselves, our families, our communities, and the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Senator Herb Benjamin, a tireless leader of his Republican Party and the people of Pennsylvania, seems destined for greatness when death comes calling sooner than expected. As Republican leaders vie for the late senator's coveted seat, his son, Clark, is appointed by the governor to fill the remaining two years of his father's term. But there is only one problem: Clark is a moderate Republican who is stubbornly focused on staking out his own course, much to the displeasure of his party's leaders. The current Democratic president's legacy is being tarnished by his refusal to commit to a military response to the presumed assassination of the Israeli prime minister. Vice President Carolyn Meadows is front runner for the next presidential election until her candidacy is jeopardized by her support of the president's unpopular foreign policy stance. As politicians pay the price for not following the orthodoxies of their respective parties, the presidential campaign becomes overrun by blackmail tactics as Clark Benjamin quietly begins to plant the seeds of an innovative idea. In this gripping political tale, partisan gridlock spells trouble for both Republicans and Democrats as politicians from both parties rebel against their leaders and leave the door open for radical change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harriet Tubman, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Clara Barton, Julia Ward Howe, and Sarah Josepha Hale came from backgrounds that ranged from abject enslavement to New York City’s elite. Surmounting social and political obstacles, they emerged before and during the worst crisis in American history, the Civil War. Their actions became strands in a tapestry of courage, truth, and patriotism that influenced the lives of millions—and illuminated a new way forward for the nation. In this collective biography, Robert C. Plumb traces these five remarkable women’s awakenings to analyze how their experiences shaped their responses to the challenges, disappointments, and joys they encountered on their missions. Here is Tubman, fearless conductor on the Underground Railroad, alongside Stowe, the author who awakened the nation to the evils of slavery. Barton led an effort to provide medical supplies for field hospitals, and Union soldiers sang Howe’s “Battle Hymn of the Republic” on the march. And, amid national catastrophe, Hale’s campaign to make Thanksgiving a national holiday moved North and South toward reconciliation.

The past has taught her she’s better off alone. But once her heart opens to these two cowboys, she yearns to live her own happy-ever-after. Chase and Brian demand that Carrie shares her soul before they share her body. Surrounded by the loving families of her new coworkers and friends, Carrie dares to do as they ask, and reach for her very own happy-ever-after.

Julián Alvarez makes his way to Lusty, seeking to make amends with his estranged brother and find his place in the world. Even as he agrees to help Brian and Chase with their ranch, he wonders why fate keeps drawing him down the road, toward a city called Divine, Texas. A Very Lusty Christmas- Lieutenant Kate Wesley couldn’t believe the audacity of the two pursuit pilots! Bad enough Gerald Benedict grabbed her into a steamy, delicious kiss, but his brother Patrick did the same thing! They let her go, promising to see her soon. Kate knows that will never happen. There is no room for romance between a lieutenant and a major, or two, in 1942. Yet before she knows it, Kate is promoted and sent to a small town in Texas to be the nurse-administrator for a convalescent home. She soon learns a formidable family matriarch by the name of Sarah Carmichael Benedict is behind this move—and those two pilots she thought never to see again are determined to woo her. With the future tenuous at best, will Kate risk everything for love? And will her men find the root of the malfunctions that have been plaguing the airfield, before becoming victims of foul play themselves? Cara Covington is a Siren-exclusive author.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Better Angels of Our Nature Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker argued that modern history has witnessed a dramatic decline in human violence of every kind, and that in the present we are experiencing the most peaceful time in human history. But what do top historians think about Pinker's reading of the past? Does his argument stand up to historical analysis? In The Darker Angels of our Nature, seventeen scholars of international stature evaluate Pinker's arguments and find them lacking. Studying the history of violence from Japan and Russia to Native America, Medieval England and the Imperial Middle East, these scholars debunk the myth of non-violent modernity. Asserting that the real story of human violence is richer, more interesting and incomparably more complex than Pinker's sweeping, simplified narrative, this book tests, and bests, 'fake history' with expert knowledge.
