In this sequel to Card's bestselling novel Empire, Averell Torrent has become President of the United States, with enormous political and popular support and, if people only realized it, a tight grip on the reins of both political parties. He has launched America into a get-tough, this-world-is-our-empire foreign policy stance.
The (New) Science of Getting Rich By Wallace D. Wattles Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio 2008-02-12 | ISBN: 0743572181 | MP3 | 320 kbps | 137 MB + 138 MB Written nearly a century ago and recently rediscovered by Rhonda Byrne, creator of The Secret Becoming rich is not a matter of environment or talents. Money and property come to us as a result of doing things in a certain way. This is a natural law -- the Law of Attraction -- that specific actions always produce like effects. As a result, anyone who learns to do things in a certain way will ultimately become prosperous.
In 2003, Aron Ralston set off for a day's hiking in the Utah canyons. As he slid down and off of a boulder it shifted, trapping his right hand against the canyon wall. No one knew where he was. He remained trapped for five days in the canyon: hypothermic at night, de-hydrated and hallucinating by day. Finally, he faced the most terrible decision of his life: what to do to save his life.
This is the account of those five days, of the years that led up to them, and where he goes from here. It is narrative non-fiction at its most compelling.
The movie 127 Hours, directed by Danny Boyle, is based on this book.
