DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn the tradition of Helen Fielding and Cathy Yardley, RWA Golden Heart Award-winner, Nancy Robards Thompson makes her Five Star debut with this humorous, wry and sometimes poignant journey of self-discovery. Olivia Logan has always played it safe and quiet, but when her fianci calls from France to tell her he's married another woman, he provides a catalyst for her to reinvent herself. Knowing that her dreams are hand-me-downs from her mother, and surrounded by well-meaning friends, honorable and not-so-honorable men, and a job that's falling apart, Olivia begins to recognize that living a little isn't nearly as important as living a lot. Nancy Robards Thompson earned a degree in journalism only to realize reporting just the facts bored her silly. Much more content to report to her muse, Nancy has found nirvana doing what she loves most - writing romantic fiction. This two-time nominee for the Romance Writers of America's Golden Heart struck gold in July 2002 when she won the coveted award. Nancy lives in Florida and dreams of living the life of a bohemian writer in Paris with her husband, daughter and their three cats. Reinventing Olivia is her first published novel.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWinner of the Pulitzer Prize and a documentary from Ken Burns on PBS, this New York Times bestseller is “an extraordinary achievement” (The New Yorker)—a magnificent, profoundly humane “biography” of cancer—from its first documented appearances thousands of years ago through the epic battles in the twentieth century to cure, control, and conquer it to a radical new understanding of its essence. Physician, researcher, and award-winning science writer, Siddhartha Mukherjee examines cancer with a cellular biologist’s precision, a historian’s perspective, and a biographer’s passion. The result is an astonishingly lucid and eloquent chronicle of a disease humans have lived with—and perished from—for more than five thousand years. The story of cancer is a story of human ingenuity, resilience, and perseverance, but also of hubris, paternalism, and misperception. Mukherjee recounts centuries of discoveries, setbacks, victories, and deaths, told through the eyes of his predecessors and peers, training their wits against an infinitely resourceful adversary that, just three decades ago, was thought to be easily vanquished in an all-out “war against cancer.” The book reads like a literary thriller with cancer as the protagonist. Riveting, urgent, and surprising, The Emperor of All Maladies provides a fascinating glimpse into the future of cancer treatments. It is an illuminating book that provides hope and clarity to those seeking to demystify cancer.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn Wealth, Poverty, and Politics, Thomas Sowell, one of the foremost conservative public intellectuals in this country, argues that political and ideological struggles have led to dangerous confusion about income inequality in America. Pundits and politically motivated economists trumpet ambiguous statistics and sensational theories while ignoring the true determinant of income inequality: the production of wealth. We cannot properly understand inequality if we focus exclusively on the distribution of wealth and ignore wealth production factors such as geography, demography, and culture. Sowell contends that liberals have a particular interest in misreading the data and chastises them for using income inequality as an argument for the welfare state. Refuting Thomas Piketty, Paul Krugman, and others on the left, Sowell draws on accurate empirical data to show that the inequality is not nearly as extreme or sensational as we have been led to believe. Transcending partisanship through a careful examination of data, Wealth, Poverty, and Politics reveals the truth about the most explosive political issue of our time.
