Book Description
Free falling. One of the most extreme sports in the world. Well, both worlds actually. Anyway, below me, I could see her-rather, the speck I assumed to be her. I wanted to scream, but no one would have been able to hear me. My ship was a thousand feet above me, and she was just as equally far below me. I was fifteen years old and had already done things only a soldier should do, almost nothing a kid should do, and I didn't mind it that much. She was also fifteen years old, and the worst thing she had ever done was maybe argue with her mother or gotten into a fight in school. Neither of us had a parachute, yet one of us would survive; unfortunately, it wasn't her. I wanted to scream. It was my fault, after all. I wanted to kill myself, I was so angry. Children are often taught by parents and preachers that God created everyone special, different from anyone else. For Calibur, special took on a whole new meaning. He was born into war, as a reason for war, and as a soldier of war. War is all he has ever known, and his anger-his special anger-has always been the tool he used to fight it. And it wasn't like he didn't have good reason; his enemy was slowly killing everything that mattered to him. And then came Alice. With Alice, Calibur starts to see that maybe, just maybe, his entire paradigm has been askewa "and maybe, just maybe, love can change anyone, even the most horrific monsters."

Book Description
Do you feel like you have to walk on eggshells around your partner? Or that the wrong phrase might set them off? Are you unhappy in your relationship, but can’t bear to pull yourself away from it? Do you feel inadequate and sometimes deserving of the treatment you get? Recognize that your partner is your manipulator and abuser - don’t allow them to force the upper hand. Mind Games uncovers a host of underhanded, sneaky, and malicious emotional manipulation tactics that manipulators and abusers use to beat you down and control you. We might all be able to recognize blatant abuse, but when we’re emotionally invested, it’s tough to see the little signs that are in front of our faces sometimes. They’ll lead to you feeling worthless and vulnerable, making it almost impossible to truly leave your situation. In this book, I identify many common tactics that you may be intimately and sadly familiar with, complete with real life examples for each to help you identify them in your daily life. What emotionally manipulative tactics will you learn to identify and stop? * Gaslighting and telling you that your concern is an overreaction, or quite simply wrong. * How the silent treatment is used as punishment and forces compliance. * Playing the victim and how it transforms your issues into guilt and pity. * Your abuser's time machine and how they use it to their advantage.

Book Description
In his fourth book on President George W. Bush and his controversial 'War on Terror,' Bob Woodward takes us behind closed doors, into the hidden rooms of the White House, the Pentagon, the State Department, and US intelligence agencies, where the details of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were fiercely debated and eventually determined. Today, the Iraq War is a major source of contention around the world, and may become the defining political, social and moral issue of this brief period in American history. In an attempt to understand the Bush presidency, and its divisive legacy, Woodward examines this conflict at its source: in Washington D.C. This fast-paced, groundbreaking book includes never-before-published information, as Woodward draws upon his vast experience a veteran political journalist to provide a richly detailed and meticulously researched examination of the war in Iraq over the past two years. In The War Within, Woodward expands upon his study of the Bush administration in his previous three books, with his signature authoritative, measured, and deeply human sense of perspective.
