Complexo de Cinderela – Edição comemorativa de 40 anos

Autor: Colette Dowling

Número de Páginas: 271

"As mulheres podem ser implacáveis no trabalho, mas em casa ainda podem recuar para a segurança da submissão", Colette Dowling "Uma crítica voraz, objetiva e fundamentada", Forbes Neste importante livro, que completa 40 de anos desde sua publicação original, a autora best-seller do New York Times Colette Dowling mostra como ofereceu às mulheres de sua época uma oportunidade palpável de alcançar a independência emocional. Dowling foi educada, tal como suas contemporâneas, pensando no "príncipe encantado", a figura forte que estaria sempre por perto, mantendo-a em segurança e bem nutrida. Mas o que acontece quando a vida não nos oferece a oportunidade de conhecer essa figura? A autora viveu esse questionamento na prática ao se divorciar e, intrigada, conduziu uma série de pesquisas com mulheres, médicos e especialistas para entender o que estava por trás da independência feminina – isso tudo em plenos anos 1980. O resultado é uma obra fascinante, que ainda hoje nos mostra como a independência feminina pode – e precisa – ser muito mais do que um novo emprego ou um novo amor. Você não sairá desta leitura sem mudar a maneira como pensa. E talvez a maneira ...

Cross Talk

Autor: Mr Terrence Allen Gilbert , Terrence Allen Gilbert

Número de Páginas: 359

While working a deal to provide an encrypted communications network to the Mexican government, businessman Derek Price finds himself thrust into the Drug Wars and between a rock and a hard place. The CIA seizes the opportunity and the technology to infiltrate and uncover the cartel leadership while the Drug Tsars, aided by Cuba and a couple of veteran cold warriors, secretly turn the tables - and turn the network into an effective counter-espionage tool. Price is shanghaied and controlled through the implantation of a torturous, pain-inducing microchip in his brain. He is forced to keep the Tsar's secrets, do their bidding and betray all those around him. The secret founder and the leader of La Cofradia, the most blood-thirsty cartel yet to emerge, gains momentum and threatens to take over - everything. Pro-American officials are framed and imprisoned, and the CIA is duped into implementing a plot to assassinate its own hand-picked presidential candidate. Ultimately Price finds a way to protect himself and joins forces with others victimized by the Tsars. They work together to deceive the deceivers and settle the score.

Baltimore's Two Cross Keys Villages

Autor: James Holechek

Número de Páginas: 200

Baltimore's Two Cross Keys Villages is about two communities virtually next door to one another. As one was dying, the other was born. Cross Keys Village (named after a nearby inn) was established by African Americans in north Baltimore. Forty years ago, in a surprise rush to urban renewal, the city condemned and tore down most of the homes to make room for a high school parking lot. Author Jim Holechek interviewed many of the former residents of the old Cross Keys Village to learn what life was like in their disappearing enclave. The Village of Cross Keys (named after the village that was named after the inn) was begun by developer James Rouse in 1961 when he purchased Roland Park's exclusive golf course. He was called the "Sunday School teacher with a Midas touch" and became America's premier builder of new towns and shopping malls. In Baltimore's Two Cross Keys Villages, you'll learn about the tapestry of other hamlets and other people, of "The Falls Road," Mt. Washington, Bare Hills and Ruxton, an 1835 log chapel and a woman who carries on the heritage of the slave Tobias. Brief comments from those who read Baltimore's Two Cross Keys Villages: "Terrific!" -John McGrain,...

L'istinto del predatore

Autor: James Patterson

Número de Páginas: 234

«James Patterson è il migliore. Punto.» Ian Rankin Sono le undici di sera di una normalissima domenica quando Alex Cross viene convocato dal dipartimento di polizia di Washington sulla scena del crimine. Georgetown. Una bellissima villa a tre piani in stile coloniale, vicini e curiosi in vestaglia, radunati sul marciapiede. Dalle facce scure e gli sguardi vitrei dei tecnici che emergono dall'interno, Cross ha già intuito che si troverà davanti uno spettacolo raccapricciante, ma non immagina nemmeno quanto. Cinque persone, un'intera famiglia massacrata con una violenza e una ferocia inaudite. E quello che è peggio è che Cross conosceva bene una delle vittime, Ellie, ex compagna di università e suo primo amore. Ma non c'è tempo per abbandonarsi ai ricordi e alla nostalgia: troppe sono le domande che attendono una risposta, a partire dall'inspiegabile presenza di due agenti della CIA sul luogo del delitto. Unico indizio in mano a Cross, il libro che la donna stava scrivendo sulla situazione sociopolitica dell'Africa centrale. Chi si nasconde dietro la mano che ha ucciso Ellie? Chi c'è davvero dietro quel nome di battaglia, la Tigre? Che cosa lega quel brutale omicidio al...
