From the winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Economics A New York Times Bestseller “A fascinating account of the…
effort to save the world from another [Great Depression]. . . . Humanity should be grateful.”—Financial Times In 2006, Ben S. Bernanke was appointed chair of the Federal Reserve, the unexpected apex of a personal journey from small-town South Carolina to prestigious academic appointments and finally public service in Washington’s halls of power. There would be no time to celebrate. The bursting of a housing bubble in 2007 exposed the hidden vulnerabilities of the global financial system, bringing it to the brink of meltdown. From the implosion of the investment bank Bear Stearns to the unprecedented bailout of insurance giant AIG, efforts to arrest the financial contagion consumed Bernanke and his team at the Fed. Around the clock, they fought the crisis with every tool at their disposal to keep the United States and world economies afloat. Working with two U.S. presidents, and under fire from a fractious Congress and a public incensed by behavior on Wall Street, the Fed—alongside colleagues in the Treasury Department—successfully stabilized a teetering financial system. With creativity and decisiveness, they prevented an economic collapse of unimaginable scale and went on to craft the unorthodox programs that would help revive the U.S. economy and become the model for other countries. Rich with detail of the decision-making process in Washington and indelible portraits of the major players, The Courage to Act recounts and explains the worst financial crisis and economic slump in America since the Great Depression, providing an insider’s account of the policy response.By Kim Harrison, Jeaniene Frost, Melissa Marr, Jocelynn Drake, Vickie Pettersson. 2009

of his life. Now in therapy, he recounts how it all began. 95 North explores how we make sense of our decisions in the aftermath of love gone wrong. The Thing in Violet Springs by A. G. Travers When a young family travels into the cold desolate woods of Violet Springs, they are confronted by a vicious monster hell-bent on stalking, catching, and devouring them.

First published in 1972 Five for Freedom is a candid study of five European fictional heroines as anticipatory of contemporary…
feminism: Madame de Merteuil of Choderlos de Laclos’ Les Liaisons dangereuses, Jane Eyre, Emma Bovary, Tess of the D’Urbervilles, and Tony Buddenbrook. Professor Wagner clearly believes that, in the first place, the role of women in the development of fiction has been underestimated, while the claims to originality of many recent female liberationists have been equally overestimated. This is a far-ranging, lightly-handled book with insights into both mode of fiction, as it developed and answered women’s demands, and into the role of some of its leading heroines; for Professor Wagner’s studies do not limit themselves strictly to the ‘five for freedom’ but foray into Balzac’s Cousine Bette, Catherine Earnshaw of Wuthering Heights, Anna Karenina, and Eca de Queiroz’s Portuguese Bovary in Cousin Bazilio. This brilliant little study is topical, readable, yet learned. It will be useful for scholars and researchers of literature, Women’s studies, and Gender studies.By María Moreno. 2023
Compilación de una década de ensayos sobre literatura, escritura, lectura, autoras y autores de la genial cronista argentina. Desde el…
futurismo radical de la omnipresente Virginia Woolf hasta el misterio intacto que sobrevive al suicidio de Alfonsina Storni. El amor por Chile, con la grafía exaltada de la oda a Gabriela Mistral, a Pedro Lemebel, a Raúl Zurita. Como él, María Moreno atestigua: "Yo vi a las mejores mentes de mi generación...". Ricardo Piglia, Fogwill y Horacio González, algunas de ellas: la etiqueta periodística reserva a las amistades o a las obcecaciones la redacción del obituario. Pero aun así reúne una década de intervenciones críticas dispersas, publicadas en distintos medios, y las ponencias, discursos y presentaciones de libros leídas en voz alta tiempo atrás. María Moreno ha reescrito cada uno de estos microensayos que, en un solo volumen, reafirman su fenomenal erudición, su indispensable insolencia intelectual, su indómita vigencia. La crítica dijo: «Somos muchos los que consideramos a María Moreno la mejor cronista argentina de todos los tiempos y una de las voces documentales más lúcidas de la lengua, entre otras hipérboles razonables».Jorge Carrión, The New York Times «Sus análisis desgarran el texto sobre el que se posa su mirada. La elaborada ingeniería crítica elude la solemnidad que suelen ostentar los aparatos críticos académicos ortodoxos. No porque la autora los desconozca; tan solo por elección de tono y configuración».Andrés Tejada Gómez, Otra Parte «El cruce permanente, la sorna y la mirada al detalle literario y extraliterario imprevisto hacen también a la particularidad de su escritura».Natalí Schejtman, Radar «...una poética de la lectura y una política de la crítica que, en vez de justificarse en la arrogancia del Juicio, se compromete en la reinvención de sus objetos. Su táctica es metódica y eficaz».Revista Ñ «Lo que parece repetición se revela otra cosa. Leer será, incesantemente, el arte de ese desvío».Gabriel Giorgi, Bazar AmericanoBy Claire Broad. 2023
Most people understand Mediumship as the practice of passing on information from deceased loved ones who bring a message that…
they live on. However, there is so much more to spirit communication. Claire Broad, accredited medium and spiritual teacher explains how, as a conduit between two worlds, she is uniquely placed to receive and communicate wisdom about our soul's journey from the deceased and her guides.After experiencing her own profound soul connection and receiving coaching from her team of spirit guides, Claire has been asked by the spirit world to write on their behalf, about the soul and unconditional love.From soul families, to soulmates and twin flames, there are many expressions of soul connections, each one perfectly designed to lead us back to pure unconditional love and our soul within. Even the most difficult and painful relationships serve a higher spiritual purpose, teaching us to live fearlessly, love without condition, have compassion for all souls on Earth, as well as enjoy a life of greater joy, purpose and meaning. Lessons from the afterlife prepare us for our own inevitable physical death and the soul's journey back to the spirit world.When we are ready to see the truth of the soul, we can learn the value in every relationship including the most important of all, the one we hold with ourselves. We can discover we are enough, we are never alone, nor can we be separated from those we love even after death.We are all connected in this world and the next.By Jeff Tarrant. 2023
A scientific, brain-based approach that provides an understanding of psychic abilities, spirit communication, and energy healing.Jeff Tarrant was fascinated by…
the paranormal as a child but then his training as a neuropsychologist turned him into a hardcore skeptic. If something could not be reliably and consistently demonstrated in the laboratory, then it wasn&’t real. These rigid ideas were gradually worn away as he repeatedly witnessed and experienced things that simply should not be possible—telekenesis, clairvoyance, telepathy, mediumship, energy healing, and more….This book follows his journey of studying, interviewing, and testing a wide variety of mediums, psychics, and healers as he tries to determine what is going on in their brains when they engage in these supernormal abilities. Readers will get to know these gifted people, exploring what makes them tick and discovering firsthand evidence that this stuff is real. If we can understand how the psychic mind works, might the rest of us be able to use this information to help develop our own abilities? Becoming Psychic uses knowledge uncovered through case studies, expert interviews, and research to offer a variety of practical insights to help readers develop their own psi abilities. Each chapter concludes with a &“try it yourself&” section, helping readers apply specific concepts and techniques into their own psychic development practice. In addition to uncovering the tips, skills, and tools identified in Tarrant's research, the book also explores how to use brain-hacking technology, such as neurofeedback, audio visual entrainment, and pulsed electromagnetic fields to &“nudge&” the brain toward heightened psychic abilities--as well as quieting internal chatter, supporting empathy, and enhancing creativity—all the mental skills necessary to move from balance and wellness to the extraordinary! Becoming Psychic fills an important gap in the psychic development literature. There are books that tell the stories of psychics and mediums. There are books that focus on the science and evidence for these practices, and there are books devoted to teaching you how to develop your own skills. This book contains all of the above and more!
