    Has the West Lost It?
    'A compelling warning ... It is hard to disagree with this advice from such a well-informed friend of the west' Martin Wolf, Financial TimesThe West's two-century epoch as global powerhouse is at an end. A new world order, with China and India as the strongest economies, dawns. How will the West react to its new status of superpower in decline? In Kishore Mahbubani's timely polemic, he argues passionately that the West can no longer presume to impose its ideology on the world, and crucially, that it must stop seeking to intervene, politically and militarily, in the affairs of other nations. He examines the West's greatest follies of recent times: the humiliation of Russia at the end of the Cold War, which led to the rise of Putin, and the invasion of Iraq after 9/11, which destabilised the Middle East. Yet, he argues, essential to future world peace are the Western constructs of democracy and reason, which it must continue to promote, by diplomacy rather than force, via multilateral institutions of global governance such as the UN. Only by recognising its changing status, and seeking to influence rather than dominate, he warns, can the West continue to play a key geopolitical role.'Kishore Mahbubani might well be the most intelligent, friendly and doggedly persistent critic of the West. In this brief book, he delivers some of his trademark analysis and pungent observations. We should all think of it as the cold shower that is urgently needed to revive the West' Fareed Zakaria, author of The Post-American World

    While arguing in the middle of a class, a man-of-the-house professor decides to teach his spoiled little brat student a lesson. After class is over, this rich, little princess will have to do exactly what she's told and learn how to behave herself. It might be painful at first but only until it's oh-so-incredibly pleasurable! Her innocence, just like her bad behavior, will become a thing of the past!HayleyHe takes a step toward me, his face so strong and intense. I get lost looking up into his dark eyes and feeling the heat from his massive, muscular chest falling down on me. “Your father might have practically paid for the new library himself, but don’t presume that you are above anyone else!” He says, pointing his finger in my face. I know that I should feel angry or invaded or something, but all I can think about as he holds his finger two inches from my face, is that I wish he would just grab me with those massive hands of his hands and pin me hard against the brick wall behind me. And, then, I wish he would put those fingers he’s waving at me into my mouth and make me suck on them hard.“Ms. Gold, are you listening to me?” He asks me, angrily. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Come Sundown, Hörbuch, Digital, 580min
    A novel of suspense, family ties, and twisted passions from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Obsession... The Bodine ranch and resort in western Montana is a family business, an idyllic spot for vacationers. A little over thirty thousand acres and home to four generations, it's kept running by Bodine Longbow with the help of a large staff, including new hire Callen Skinner. There was another member of the family once: Bodine's aunt, Alice, who ran off before Bodine was born. She never returned, and the Longbows don't talk about her much. The younger ones, who never met her, quietly presume she's dead. But she isn't. She is not far away, part of a new family, one she never chose - and her mind has been shattered... When a bartender leaves the resort late one night, and Bo and Cal discover her battered body in the snow, it's the first sign that danger lurks in the mountains that surround them. The police suspect Cal, but Bo finds herself trusting him - and turning to him as another woman is murdered and the Longbows are stunned by Alice's sudden reappearance. The twisted story she has to tell about the past - and the threat that follows in her wake - will test the bonds of this strong family, and thrust Bodine into a darkness she could never have imagined.

    Manhattan Noir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 432min
    Launched by the summer '04 award-winning best-seller Brooklyn Noir, Akashic Books continues its groundbreaking series of original noir anthologies. Each book is comprised of all-new stories, each one set in a distinct neighborhood or location within the city of the book. Brand new crime fiction stories from: Jeffery Deaver, Lawrence Block, Charles Ardai, Carol Lea Benjamin, Thomas H. Cook, Jim Fusilli, Robert Knightly, John Lutz, Liz Martínez, Maan Meyers, Martin Meyers, S.J. Rozan, Justin Scott, C.J. Sullivan, and Xu Xi. From the introduction by Lawrence Block: "Readers of Brooklyn Noir will recall that its contents were labeled by neighborhood - Bay Ridge, Canarsie, Greenpoint, etc. We have chosen the same principle here, and the book's contents do a good job of covering the island, from C.J. Sullivan's Inwood and Charles Ardai's Upper East Side, to Justin Scott's Chelsea and Carol Lea Benjamin's Greenwich Village. The range in mood and literary style is at least as great; noir can be funny, it can stretch to include magic realism, it can be ample or stark, told in the past or present tense, and in the first or third person. I wouldn't presume to define noir - if we could define it, we wouldn’t need to use a French word for it - but it seems to me that it’s more a way of looking at the world than what one sees." ungekürzt.

    Her Gates Will Never Be Shut: Hope, Hell, and the New Jerusalem , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 438min
    Everlasting hell and divine judgment, a lake of fire and brimstone - these mainstays of evangelical tradition have come under fire once again in recent decades. Would the God of love revealed by Jesus really consign the vast majority of humankind to a destiny of eternal, conscious torment? Is divine mercy bound by the demands of justice? How can anyone presume to know who is saved from the flames and who is not? Reacting to presumptions in like manner, others write off the fiery images of final judgment altogether. If there is a God who loves us, then surely all are welcome into the heavenly kingdom, regardless of their beliefs or behaviors in this life. Yet, given the sheer volume of threat rhetoric in the Scriptures and the wickedness manifest in human history, the pop-universalism of our day sounds more like denial than hope. Mercy triumphs over judgment; it does not skirt it. Her Gates Will Never Be Shut endeavors to reconsider what the Bible and the Church have actually said about hell and hope, noting a breadth of real possibilities that undermines every presumption. The polyphony of perspectives on hell and hope offered by the prophets, apostles, and Jesus humble our obsessive need to harmonize every text into a neat theological system. But they open the door to the eternal hope found in Revelation 21-22: the City whose gates will never be shut; where the Spirit and Bride perpetually invite the thirsty who are outside the city to "Come, drink of the waters of life." ungekürzt.

    This is a three-book bundle, which addresses various subtopics, including but not limited to these:Book one: Jealousy can be real, and it can be annoying. I think everyone has experienced feelings of jealousy in their lives. It’s normal, but if it isn’t dealt with, it can cause more problems to occur.That’s why, this guide focuses on the symptoms, the different categories, and various solutions to combat those feelings.Book two: Most feelings of jealousy or envy are related to insecurities. They come deep from within a person’s fears, doubts, self-esteem, and other variables, sometimes grounded in childhood experiences.Some people, however, are in denial. They go through life and never admit that they might envy what another person has, or they don’t want to admit to feelings of inadequacy or fear that their partner might lose interest in them.Book three: Most people have experienced simple manifestations of jealousy, but there are exceptional cases and disorders that must be mentioned. In this book, some of those brain functions that border on insanity will be discussed and explained.Aside from that, several chapters of the book refer to jealousy problems in marriage and other relationships. Apparently, this problem is more common than many presume it to be, so it is worth mentioning.Last but not least, some quotes, solutions, and tips are included in this helpful guide. They will lead you along to happier feelings and emotions, so you can rid yourself of something that could be blocking you from progressing at your own pace.Get the guide now! ungekürzt.

    Python for Data Science: Comprehensive Guide of Tips and Tricks Using Python Data Science Theories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 461min
    Python for Data Science is a comprehensive guide about how to perform data science with Python. This book is for students, researchers, and developers who are technically minded and have a wide background in writing code as well as using numerical and computational tools. However, many of you may not wish to learn Python, but instead wish to learn the language in hopes of utilizing it as a means for computational and data-intensive science.The aim of this book is not meant to serve as a kind of introduction to Python or even programming in general; we presume listeners will get their hands on this, already possess ample amount of knowledge in the Python language, which includes assigning variables, defining functions, controlling a program's flow, calling methods of objects, and other basic operations. Rather, the book was put together to assist users of Python to understand how to use the data science stack of Python – with libraries including NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib and other such tools - with the aim of effectively manipulating, storing, and getting data insight.In this book, we'll cover a variety of topics, including several libraries, such as NumPy that offers the ndarray for efficient manipulation and storage of dense data arrays in Python. Then you'll be able to learn how to manipulate data using Pandas, a library that offers the DataFrame object for efficient manipulation and storage of columnar/label data in Python.After that, we'll talk about the Matplotlib library and how it provides a range of flexible data visualization capabilities in Python. Then we'll talk the types of machine learning involved including supervised and unsupervised learning. Lastly, we'll finish with multiple regression analysis, which is a combination of techniques that help us study the straight-line relations between two or more variables.In addition, this book is backed by a series of examples and case studies to help clarify anything that ungekürzt.
