  "The Spring and Autumn & Warring States Periods, PART TWO" takes you deep into one of the most extraordinary periods in Chinese history, where legendary figures clashed and kingdoms rose or fell by the stroke of a pen or the swing of a sword. Discover the bold reforms of Shang Yang, the artful diplomacy of Su Qin, and the cunning strategies of Zhang Yi. Their brilliance shaped the destinies of states like Qin and Wei, while Sun Bin and Pang Juan's tactical genius inspired generations of military thinkers. Gui Gu Zi, the enigmatic master of strategy, and Lü Buwei, the ambitious merchant-turned-statesman, add intrigue to a world driven by power and opportunity. 
  This book also brings the kings of the era vividly to life. Meet King Wu Ling of Zhao, who revolutionized his military with nomadic tactics; King Hui Wen of Qin, who laid the foundations of an empire; and King Zhao Xiang of Qin, whose leadership propelled Qin toward dominance. The narrative culminates with King Zheng of Qin, better known as Qin Shi Huang, the unifier who swept through the six warring states to forge the first Chinese empire. Alongside these rulers, Lü Buwei's audacious rise and influence serve as a testament to how individuals could shape the fate of nations. 
  Through gripping storytelling, this book explores alliances, betrayals, and the extraordinary vision that redefined the course of history. Packed with tales of reformers, tacticians, and warrior kings.

  The impeachment of Donald Trump as told by a member of Congress with a front-row seat to history. 
   
  Historians will look back over time at the events of the fall of 2019 and the impeachment of Donald J. Trump, and will debate the merits of the charges and the circumstances that caused the whole debacle. In The Clock and the Calendar,  
  Congressman Doug Collins will explain why the impeachment was not really about a phone call with a foreign leader or how the president conducted himself; no, it was not even about the Russia investigation that had fizzled just months before  
  these proceedings. What happened in the halls of Congress during this time was merely a date with a destiny that was dreamed of by Democrats still feeling the sting of bitter tears in Brooklyn on the night that Donald Trump derailed the  
  coronation of Hillary Clinton. It was on that night that the mainstream media was stunned and brought to tears, and the Washington establishment shook to their very core, that the seed was planted. We may not have won tonight, they said, but  
  we will never let this stand. Instead of looking to win again in four years, the movement began to look for another solution. Seeds had already been sown: the way was impeachment and that was the destiny they sought.

  Where can I go from your Spirit?Where can I flee from your presence?If I go up to the heavens, you are there;If I make my bed in the depths, you are there.If I rise on the wings of the dawn,if I settle on the far side of the sea,even there your hand will guide me,your right hand will hold me fast.(Psalm 139:7-10)

  “As you read this blurb, you know you would never confess to a crime you didn’t commit. Read this compelling study and you’ll change your mind. Dr. Kassin lays bare the dirty tricks used by police to make innocents confess. And he describes, convincingly, what should be done to stop them.”– John Grisham, #1 New York Times-bestselling authorWritten by the world's leading expert on false confessions, this landmark book reveals the psychology behind why innocent men, women, and children, intensely stressed and befuddled by the promises, threats, trickery, and deception of a police interrogation, are duped into confession, no matter how horrific the crime. Featuring riveting case studies, highly original research, work done in tandem with the Innocence Project, and quotes from individuals who confessed to crimes they did not commit, Duped tells the story of how this happens, how the system turns a blind eye, and how to make it stop.Why do people confess to crimes they did not commit? And, surely, those cases must be rare? In fact, it happens all the time—in police stations, workplaces, public schools, and the military. Psychologist Saul Kassin, the world’s leading expert on false confessions, explains how interrogators trick innocent people into confessing, and then how the criminal justice system deludes us into believing these confessions.Duped reveals how innocent men, women, and children, intensely stressed and befuddled by lawful weapons of psychological interrogation, are induced into confession, no matter how horrific the crime. By featuring riveting case studies, highly original research, work by the Innocence Project, and quotes from real-life exonerees, Kassin tells the story of how false confessions happen, and how they corrupt forensics, witnesses, and other evidence, force guilty pleas, and follow defendants for their entire lives— even after they are exonerated by DNA.Starting in the 1980’s, Dr. Kassin pioneered the scientific study of interrogations and confessions. Since then, he has been on the forefront of research and advocacy for those wrongfully convicted by police-induced false confessions. Examining famous cases like the Central Park jogger case and Amanda Knox case, as well as stories of ordinary innocent people trapped into confession, Dr. Kassin exposes just how widespread this problem is. Concluding with actionable solutions and proposals for legislative reform, Duped shows why the stigma of confession persists and how we can reform the criminal justice system to make it stop.
