DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe gates to Arcadia, the original paradise, are closed. Only the world of humanity remains. Without any awareness of our true nature, humankind crushes us beneath its banal heel. Joy and laughter are gone; only the Dreaming remains. We are changelings, the forgotten ones, neither fully fae nor wholly mortal. The last of our kind on Earth, we have built ourselves an invisible kingdom. We are everywhere, yet you have never seen us. We hide, not behind some fragile Masquerade, but in plain sight with the power of our Glamour. We exist within a real world of make-believe where "imaginary" things can kill and" "pretend" monsters are real. Rules for playing the sidhe, the lords of changelings.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFor as long as I can remember, I’ve had to hide who I am. What I am. They had me play the sheep. They had me blend in. They marked me and sealed my power. Now I have my freedom, because everyone who’s ever wanted me confined is dead. I could have changed it. I could have altered the course of fate. I could have saved the unseelie queen. I didn’t. Vlari has always known her place: as far away from court as the unseelie queen can send her. The youngest royal, born in an impoverished household, she endeavored to earn her keep as an assistant and stay out of trouble. Dark, striking, and with a hidden agenda, Drusk definitely qualifies as trouble, but he refuses to leave her alone, clashing with her at every corner. Then the world implodes around her. With friends and foe by her side, she can fade with rest of the unseelie kingdom, or protect a court that has never cared for her. Disclaimer: Wicked Court is the first volume in a duet.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKImagine being a twice-divorced woman, in her late thirties, of average looks, shunned by wealthy relatives, only to discover the most eligible bachelor in the world cannot live without you. Now imagine being that handsome, charming bachelor, educated to honor tradition and duty, in order to become a perfect King-Emperor and rule over one third of the world. Both of these extraordinary beings had the same secret dream: To breakaway from their apparent destiny and pursue what many thought was a hedonistic life, regardless of the cost and public outrage. So it was that, on December 10, 1936, Britain's new King Edward VIII abdicated his throne to marry Wallis Simpson - "the woman I love" - against the violent objection of the British royal family, the Cabinet and the Church of England. For the following thirty-six years, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor became the King and Queen of international high society. This personal account of their lives refutes history's traditional, often scurrilous portrayal of the iconic yet mysterious couple. It reveals heretofore-unknown details of their private lives, illnesses and very different deaths. Noblesse Oblige is Silvin's fictionalized, intimate description of the duchess' last valiant battle to protect her young protégée while he was running the famous American Hospital of Paris. The detailed memoir sits atop an easily absorbed history of both protagonists as the author rejects historians' claim that the Duchess of Windsor was a ruthless, conniving and superficial woman. Instead he validates Time Magazine's decision to honor her as the first Woman of the Year, of who it has been said "out-Hollywooded Hollywood," while making Greek tragedy seem trivial.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA Gentle Invitation into the Challenging Topic of Privilege The notion that some might have it better than others, for no good reason, offends our sensibilities. Yet, until we talk about privilege, we’ll never fully understand it or find our way forward. Amy Julia Becker welcomes us into her life, from the charm of her privileged southern childhood to her adult experience in the northeast, and the denials she has faced as the mother of a child with special needs. She shows how a life behind a white picket fence can restrict even as it protects, and how it can prevent us from loving our neighbors well. White Picket Fences invites us to respond to privilege with generosity, humility, and hope. It opens us to questions we are afraid to ask, so that we can walk further from fear and closer to love, in all its fragile and mysterious possibilities.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFor philanthropists of the past, charity was often a matter of simply giving money away. For the philanthrocapitalists-the new generation of billionaires who are reshaping the way they give-it's like business. Largely trained in the corporate world, these "social investors" are using big-business-style strategies and expecting results and accountability to match. Bill Gates, the world's richest man, is leading the way: he has promised his entire fortune to finding a cure for the diseases that kill millions of children in the poorest countries in the world. In Philanthrocapitalism, Matthew Bishop and Michael Green examine this new movement and its implications. Proceeding from interviews with some of the most powerful people on the planet-including Gates, Bill Clinton, Warren Buffett, Oprah Winfrey, and Bono, among others-they show how a web of wealthy, motivated donors has set out to change the world.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“Classical Spies will be a lasting contribution to the discipline and will stimulate further research. Susan Heuck Allen presents to a wide readership a topic of interest that is important and has been neglected.” —William M. Calder III, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign Classical Spies is the first insiders’ account of the operations of the American intelligence service in World War II Greece. Initiated by archaeologists in Greece and the eastern Mediterranean, the network drew on scholars’ personal contacts and knowledge of languages and terrain. While modern readers might think Indiana Jones is just a fantasy character, Classical Spies disclosesevents where even Indy would feel at home: burying Athenian dig records in an Egyptian tomb, activating prep-school connections to establish spies code-named Vulture and Chickadee, and organizing parachute drops. Susan Heuck Allen reveals remarkable details about a remarkable group of individuals. Often mistaken for mild-mannered professors and scholars, such archaeologists as University of Pennsylvania’s Rodney Young, Cincinnati’s Jack Caskey and Carl Blegen, Yale’s Jerry Sperling and Dorothy Cox, and Bryn Mawr’s Virginia Grace proved their mettle as effective spies in an intriguing game of cat and mouse with their Nazi counterparts. Relying on interviews with individuals sharing their stories for the first time, previously unpublished secret documents, private diaries and letters, and personal photographs, Classical Spies offers an exciting and personal perspective on the history of World War II.
