The same main character Cyrus MacKenna, a horse breeder and legendary Interpol agent, is again teamed up with his granddaughter, Emma Gray Llewelyn, English Barrister and her husband, Carlos Esteves, Director of Interpols Northern European Bureau. The mystery around the research Carruchi performed on Emma in the Chatelaine case was never completely revealed. Cyruss amnesia prevented him from remembering the kind of research Dr. Ennio Carruchi performed on Emma until he remembered Marcus Rudolphi bragged to him that he and Emma had a child. Knowing Emma never bore a child, he must discover whose child is she? Why is the terrorist organization, Alliance, searching for this same child? The au pair has kept the child hidden from Alliance, Interpol and the House of Chaos. Cyrus alone discovers information where the child could be. Alliance plans to eradicate all obstacles in order to locate this special childmeaning the deaths of Cyrus MacKenna and Carlos Esteves, but not Emma. The secret sophisticated terror faction infiltrates the anticrime organizations involved, leaving only five agents to carry on the search. Abigail Monterrey and Noah Helm are American CIA and FBI agents sent to British NSA. Emma hires Zackary Judd as her new Private Investigator, when in fact Zacks real job is to keep Emma safe from Alliance. Information comes to Zack that someone he thought dead is still alive and complicating his job to keep Emma out of harm's way. The story begins in France, and moves to the Netherlands where a spectacular confrontation unravels the plot. The reader will learn who and what is the Methuselah Conspiracy in a dramatic twist of fate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life is short. This indisputable fact of existence has driven human ingenuity since antiquity, whether through efforts to lengthen our lives with medicine or shorten the amount of time we spend on work using technology. Alongside this struggle to manage the pressure of life’s ultimate deadline, human perception of the passage and effects of time has also changed. In On Borrowed Time, Harald Weinrich examines an extraordinary range of materials—from Hippocrates to Run Lola Run—to put forth a new conception of time and its limits that, unlike older models, is firmly grounded in human experience. Weinrich’s analysis of the roots of the word time connects it to the temples of the skull, demonstrating that humans first experienced time in the beating of their pulses. Tracing this corporeal perception of time across literary, religious, and philosophical works, Weinrich concludes that time functions as a kind of sixth sense—the crucial sense that enables the other five. Written with Weinrich’s customary narrative elegance, On Borrowed Time is an absorbing—and, fittingly, succinct—meditation on life’s inexorable brevity.

Book excerpt: The baby boomers have always been seen as a deeply symbolic generation - born amid a surge of post-war optimism and reaching adulthood in the 1960s. For many of them, challenging received wisdom is deeply embedded in their own self-image. But one problem in thinking about British baby boomers is that very little original research has addressed them directly. This report takes on the challenge of exploring the hopes and fears of a group of people who may help to reshape the meaning of 'old age'. By talking directly to them in depth, we have tested assumptions about how age, sex, marital status and ethnicity impact on the values of British baby boomers. We have also investigated their attitudes to dying, which if they have their way is likely to become the ultimate consumer service. Some firms are already waking up to the fact that, while youth culture might be 'cool', it is far cooler to profit from the well-heeled baby boomers. But as the baby boomers continue to march towards old age, the financial clout they wield will be less important than the new ways in which they will want to spend their money. The combination of wealth, health and longer life gives them a new phase of life. Baby boomers want to 'have their time again', by chasing personal fulfilment free from the pressures of overwork and childrearing. From middle-aged men and women on motorbikes to new beauty products and treatments and music retailing, the dominance of baby boomers can only grow. This project was produced in partnership with Centrica, the principal funder, and the Saga group.

Book excerpt: Meet Alan Dyson, a research scientist experimenting with the longevity effects of a newly discovered bristlecone pine tree gene. He thinks he's being watched and followed. He's right. When his secret formula is stolen, and all notes are wiped from his computer, his friend--the firm’s computer programmer--secretly tracks the thief to a P.O. Box in Zion, Iowa. Under suspicion, and with his project canceled due to a bizarre death, Alan visits Zion to discover that he’s not the only stranger in town, and that someone has been using the residents as guinea pigs in a chilling medical experiment. In a dangerous gambit to expose whoever is hiding the truth, he solicits help from the police, and is arrested instead. Now, only a young woman hiding there under the Witness Protection Program can help him escape. But can he convince her to join forces to uncover this conspiracy of silence involving the potential for immortality? Because whoever is behind it all has made an astonishing discovery of Biblical proportions, and is murdering everyone to cover their tracks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the 5th revised and improved edition, published by a state funded publisher involved in EU programs and a partner of the Federal Ministry of Education, you receive the concentrated expertise of renowned authors (overview in the book preview) and extensive add-ons as well as individual consulting. At the same time, you do good and support sustainable projects. Because even if luxury is something different for everyone: who does not have the dream of carefree living out their own freedom? Unfortunately, the reality looks different: Many people spin day in and day out on the hamster wheel and wish for nothing more than to be able to realize their dreams. The solution to this problem is called passive income. But unfortunately, very few people are really familiar with the topic of investing money, and opinions about proper financial planning are as many as there are experts. So if you want to earn money by investing properly, you would do well not to lose track in the jungle of financial products between stock trading with individual stocks, ETF and index funds, gold, real estate and so on. Therefore, it makes sense to deal with one's own asset planning in more detail, after all, savings and thus retirement provisions, which are important for retirement, are only destroyed by inflation. For its concept "Information as Desired," the publisher was not only involved in an EU-funded program but also received the Global Business Award as Publisher of the Year. Therefore, by purchasing this book, you are also doing good: The publisher is financially and personally committed to socially relevant projects such as tree planting actions, scholarship foundations, sustainable housing, and many other innovative ideas. The goal of providing you with the best possible content on topics such as career, finance, management, recruiting, or psychology goes far beyond the static nature of traditional books: The interactive book not only provides you with expert knowledge but also allows you to ask individual questions and receive personal advice. In addition, each book contains detailed explanations and application examples to help you make the most of the free consulting services available to book buyers. You can also download e-courses, work with workbooks, or engage with an active community. This way, you receive valuable resources that increase your knowledge, stimulate creativity, make your personal and professional goals achievable, and make successes tangible.

Book excerpt: This book examines the relevance of modern medicine and healthcare in shaping the lives of elderly persons and the practices and institutions of ageing societies. Combining individual and social dimensions, Planning Later Life discusses the ethical, social, and political consequences of increasing life expectancies and demographic change in the context of biomedicine and public health. By focusing on the field of biomedicine and healthcare, the authors engage readers in a dialogue on the ethical and social implications of recent trends in dementia research and care, advance healthcare planning, or the rise of anti-ageing medicine and prevention. Bringing together the largely separated debates of individualist bioethics on the one hand, and public health ethics on the other, the volume deliberately considers the entanglements of envisioning, evaluating, and controlling individual and societal futures. So far, the process of devising and exploring the various positive and negative visions and strategies related to later life has rarely been reflected systematically from a philosophical, sociological, and ethical point of view. As such, this book will be crucial to those working and studying in the life sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences, particularly in the areas of bioethics, social work, gerontology and aging studies, healthcare and social service, sociology, social policy, and geography and population studies.

At the same time, you do good and support sustainable projects. Because especially in economically uncertain times it is important to have an overview of your finances. After all, we all work too hard for our money to let it slip through our fingers in the end. But opinions are divided as to what constitutes a good investment: There are, among other things, individual shares, funds, gold, real estate and many other possibilities, which make it urgently necessary to deal with one's own finances in more detail, as the universally popular savings are only destroyed by inflation. Therefore, with the right financial planning we can save a lot of money in everyday life and then invest it profitably.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fictional novel parallels a story from World War II, a saga based on a band of Navajo Marines called the True Whisperers. In this present era there is a small band of select women and men called ATA agents-Whisperers, hired by the President of the United States. These select agents come from different international organizations, each bringing unique skills to decipher anything within the global cyber network. What they uncover are encrypted plans by a new Al Qaeda terror group founded by their leader, Abu Bakr. Under the Presidents command, their charge is to reveal the heinous plot of terror directed against the USA by Abu Bakr. For years this Al Qaeda group has secretly developed home grown terrorist cells within the USA working toward their final goal-an unprecedented attack within our contiguous borders using a lethal toxin. As leads and clues unfold in different parts of the world, these agents follow the cyber footprints to reveal the target sights. Each ATA agent brings individual personal reasons for taking this job that adds intrigue to pique the readers interest to unravel how their lives are caught up in this plot. It was fortuitous reality that an unparalleled event happened May 2, 2011 to mirror the actions and machinations within this fictional sagas plot filled with twists and turns. As with historys True Whisperers the American people will never hear about the heroic heights these few men and women reach to preserve our Freedoms. The Howl of the Whisperers...is silence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book advocates a holistic reform of the current monetary and financial system dealing with the issues of money creation, central banks, loans, stock markets, tax justice, pension security and the international monetary system - “Bretton Woods II”. Its innovative approach presents several alternatives for each cornerstone, in addition to introducing a participatory democratic process whereby sovereign citizens can themselves determine the rules governing the new financial and monetary system. With “democratic money conventions” in each municipality, where the elements of this new money system are discussed and decided on in a participatory manner, and a federal money covenant which then elaborates a template for a referendum about the future “money constitution”, a true “sovereign” could progressively convert money from a financial weapon into a democratic tool. The envisaged democratic monetary system, by providing equal opportunities for every member of society to participate in the development of the “new rules of the game”, turns money progressively into a public good which increases the freedom for all. The new system furthermore drives the enhancement of constitutional and relational values such as human dignity, solidarity, justice, sustainability, or democracy. Money should serve life and should serve the common good. The “Bank for the Common Good” Project, which was initiated in Austria by the author Christian Felber, represents a practical example of his proposals.

The way to achieve this is called financial education: it means acquiring background knowledge about financial and stock markets and making the right financial decisions based on it. Then passive income, which sounds like a nice dream to many, can become a reality. After all, only those who make their money work for them can secure their prosperity and become financially free. But unfortunately, very few people are really familiar with the subject of investing money, and opinions about proper financial planning are as many as there are experts. It is therefore necessary not to lose the overview in the jungle of financial products. Therefore it is meaningful to concern oneself more extensively with the own fortune planning, finally savings and thus the age precaution important for the pension are only destroyed by the inflation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bestselling historians turn their focus to America’s role in the world since the end of World War II Schweikart, author of the number one New York Times bestseller A Patriot’s History of the United States, and Dougherty take a critical look at America, from the postwar boom to her search for identity in the twenty-first century. The second volume of A Patriot’s History of the Modern World picks up in 1945 with a world irrevocably altered by World War II and a powerful, victorious United States. But new foes and challenges soon arose: the growing sphere of Communist influence, hostile dictatorships and unreliable socialist allies, the emergence of China as an economic contender, and the threat of world Islamification. The book reestablishes the argument of American exceptionalism and the interplay of our democratic pillars—Judeo-Christian religious beliefs, free market capitalism, land ownership, and common law—around the world. Schweikart and Dougherty offer a fascinating conservative history of the last six decades.
