Mike Read

Casa editrice: G2 Rights

Sinossi

A blue plaque is a recognised symbol of our national heritage; a living footprint of our history with each one serving as a permanent reminder of an important contribution to the history of the country.
The blue plaques commemorate notable, influential and successful people from all walks of life. They are erected in the present to celebrate our past and inspire our future.
This book contains 100 blue plaques, and the stories and people behind them, from across the United Kingdom, each linking, through a common denominator, to the next.
From David Bowie to William Shakespeare, we run the gamut of plaques remembering kings, actors, singers, explorers, footballers, cricketers, writers, inventors, scientists, politicians, musicians, reformers, broadcasters, songwriters, comedians, pioneers, artists, the military, athletes, dancers, activists, poets and education.
From Lennon and McCartney to the victims of Jack the Ripper this is an eclectic representation of British life, through our blue plaques, from the 1500s to 2017.

Dark Psychology Mastery Vol 2 -...

Michael Pace

"Dark Psychology Mastery Vol is a masterful combination of two profound books by Michael Pace, a trailblazer who introduced the world to "Dark Psychology" in 2014. This volume, bringing together two distinct yet complementary areas of psychological manipulation and influence, offers an in-depth exploration of the darker aspects of human interaction and mind control. 
Michael Pace, following his seminal work "Dark Psychology 101" that sent shockwaves in 2015, continues to unravel the complex layers of the human psyche in this compelling compilation. The first part of the volume, "Dark NLP: How To Use Neuro-linguistic Programming For Self Mastery, Getting What You Want, Mastering Others And To Gain An Advantage Over Anyone," delves into the world of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), a tool so potent that its full potential has been shrouded in secrecy. Pace skillfully combines critical insights from both psychology and NLP, offering readers a unique opportunity to master their own lives before extending their influence over others. This book is a guide to harnessing the power of NLP, from creating deep connections instantly to achieving personal goals and mastering the art of influence. 
The journey deepens with the second part, "Dark Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: How to Stealthily Use CBT Methods To Influence And Manipulate Anyone’s Mind." Here, Pace takes a familiar therapeutic approach – Cognitive Behavioral Therapy – and reveals its darker application. Dark CBT emerges as a powerful technique for personal success, enabling readers to subtly manipulate and influence others, molding situations and people to their advantage. This section of the book is not just a revelation; it's a strategy for personal empowerment, teaching you to heal and influence simultaneously.

The White Album - Essays

Joan Didion

"First appearing in print in 1979, this remarkable and intimate audiobook chronicles the implosion of the 1960s and reports on the people, mores, and trends that defined that turbulent time."—AudioFileFirst published in 1979, Joan Didion's The White Album records indelibly the upheavals and aftermaths of the 1960s. Examining key events, figures, and trends of the era—including Charles Manson, the Black Panthers, and the shopping mall—through the lens of her own spiritual confusion, Joan Didion helped to define mass culture as we now understand it. Written with a commanding sureness of tone and linguistic precision, The White Album is a central text of American reportage and a classic of American autobiography.
