Sinopse

Bicycle History explores the captivating journey of the bicycle, revealing its profound influence on society and technology. More than just a mode of transport, the bicycle sparked social change, impacting urbanization and even the women's suffrage movement. The book traces the bicycle's evolution from rudimentary wooden contraptions to today's sophisticated models, highlighting its role in sports, recreation, and broader historical trends.

 
Early bicycles like the "dandy horse" paved the way for innovations such as the high-wheel bicycle and the safety bicycle, each representing significant technological leaps. The book uniquely combines technological history with social analysis. It examines how the bicycle became a symbol of freedom and independence, influencing urban planning and military strategies.

 
Bicycle History progresses through different stages of the bicycle's development, from early prototypes to its impact on society and the rise of cycling as a sport. Readers will gain insights into the bicycle's impact on engineering, sociology, and urban studies, solidifying its place as a catalyst for social progress and a reflection of humanity's innovative spirit.

    The Loneliness Nobody Talks...

    Three out of five people say nobody truly knows them. The U.S. Surgeon General declared loneliness an epidemic. It kills as many people as smoking fifteen cigarettes a day. And the loneliest people in the world are not the ones who are alone. They are the ones who are surrounded.
     
    This book is not about the loneliness of an empty room. It is about the loneliness of a full dinner table where nobody asks a real question. The loneliness of a marriage where you share a bed but not a single honest word. The loneliness of waking up to how the world really works and having no one who sees what you see.
     
    If you have ever smiled through a conversation while something inside you screamed, this was written for you.

    Robert Foley had only been in Vietnam for six months when he was promoted to captain and given command of a rifle company. In November 1966, Foley led his men on a mission to rescue another company that had been pinned down by Viet Cong forces. His leadership that day inspired his men and led to a successful operation—and the Medal of Honor. His actions in Vietnam were only a small portion of a long and varied career of service in the US Army, but Foley did not always seem marked for success. Coming from a blue-collar suburb of Boston, his years in West Point were marked by poor grades, injuries, and sickness. With a determination to lead by example and inspire trust among others, Foley served across the globe and rose through the ranks. He even returned to West Point as Commandant of Cadets, later retiring as a 3-star general and commander of Fifth Army.

    A tale from 1001 Lesbian Nights 
    This collected edition contains all three parts of Desert Gardens at a special price. 
    By the sea of many islands, right at the edge of where the Desert of the Red Sands meets the Desert of the Black Sands, once lay the city of Gurganj, where a sly thief is sent on an errand by her Empress, to retrieve the one magical fruit missing from her garden. Bravely, the young woman sets out on her mission, but only the special juices of a witch, flowing freely from between her legs, will be able to help her withstand the perils of her quest. 
    As our young heroine travels deep into the desert, to retrieve the one fruit for her Queen that was still missing in the Palace Gardens, she encounters a fruit of a very different kind. There, at the harshed and unlikeliest of places, a princess lay sleeping, waiting to be awoken from her ancient curse by the tongue, lips and caresses of a daring, young traveller who longs for nothing more than to taste the flowing juices of her wet holes. 
    Returning from her travels, our heroine discovers that her true destination has been hidden in the Palace Gardens all along, right between the soft, milky white legs of her beloved Queen. Was the magical fruit hidden between her flowery petals all along? And is it ripe for the plucking? For Nilgoon, the time had come to find out. 
    Contains: Lesbian, oral, magical, fingering, anal

    Greece as it was walked and as it was written: Athens, Delphi, Olympia and the islands, with the poets and historians quoted where they belong on the ground. Francis Allinson and his wife travelled the country and taught its literature. The book was written for readers who would never see the places, and it is the best of the pre-war literary guides. Sixty paintings by Frederic Leighton and Claude Lorrain, from harbour dawns to fallen trees, give the Greek scene the same light the text gives its poets.
