    Raul Baez was born and raised in the Bronx, New York. His early childhood consisted of massive traumatic experiences in a chaotic and dysfunctional family. At the age of thirteen, he dropped out of seventh grade and soon after embarked on twenty-six years of drug abuse. The addiction led to multiple incarcerations for a total of twenty-three years. Attempting to commit “suicide by cop” in a shootout with two NYPD police officers, he survived a barrage of bullets—thirty-two shots. In total, Raul had six near-death experiences. As a result of these events he faced over two hundred years in prison. He struggled with homelessness, depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. For all intents and purposes he should be dead or in prison for the rest of his life! 
    Raul unequivocally and unambiguously attributes his powerful transformation to his relationship with God. With a renewed mind, he was able to eradicate the values and belief system that subjugated him for decades. He eventually earned an associate’s degree in real estate appraisal, a bachelor’s degree in personal finance to better understand how money really works, and a master’s degree in business. He started a Sole Proprietorship, an S-CORP, and a non-profit which are the genesis of Set Your Thoughts Free. He is fully passionate about his mission to equip individuals transitioning from prison with biblical principles, character development, and financial literacy. He has developed his program with various youth organizations, high schools, and multiple prisons in New York State and New England.

    A lively, engaging guide to music around the world, from prehistory to the present 
     
    Human beings have always made music. Music can move us and tell stories of faith, struggle, or love. It is common to all cultures across the world. But how has it changed over the millennia? 
     
    Robert Philip explores the extraordinary history of music in all its forms, from our earliest ancestors to today’s mass-produced songs. This is a truly global story. Looking to Europe, South America, Asia, Africa, and beyond, Philip reveals how musicians have been brought together by trade and migration and examines the vast impact of colonialism. From Hildegard von Bingen and Clara Schumann to Bob Dylan and Aretha Franklin, great performers and composers have profoundly shaped music as we know it. 
     
    Covering a remarkable range of genres, including medieval chant, classical opera, jazz, and hip hop, this Little History shines a light on the wonder of music—and why it is treasured across the world.

    Learn how to make sure you get the correct Social Security benefits, avoid frightening clawbacks, and how to deal with the opaque bureaucracy of Social Security. 
     
     
     
    Social Security admits it has made $21.6 billion in incorrect benefits payments! Now it wants its money back—from widows, orphans, retired schoolteachers, and even young children whose parents received disability benefits on their behalf. 
     
     
     
    Often with no explanation, they send threatening letters clawing back amounts ranging from several thousand dollars to more than $100,000. The clawback notices all carry the threat that benefits will be stopped immediately if a repayment plan is not set. 
     
     
     
    But it's almost impossible to get an explanation, the records, or an appointment for a resolution of these clawback demands. It could happen to you—or to someone you love. 
     
     
     
    We wrote this book to help you and let you know you're not alone. We are also working to pressure Congress and the Treasury Secretary to prevent these intimidating clawback interactions that impact our most vulnerable citizens.

    In this book bundle, you’ll get two books about anxiety, which are: 
    Book 1: This book gives a different spin to the topic of anxiety. It covers several aspects of managing stress levels and coping with negative outside influences in your life. However, it ends with a serious challenge to eliminate all anxiety triggers from your life to your greatest ability. 
    This makes the book a special gem, an actionable inspirational source from which you can draw the energy to do something about the situations that cause you anxiety in your life. For those situations that are out of your control, a healthier reaction is encouraged. Many outward circumstances can be met without panic, with a calm feeling of self-confidence and reassurance. 
    Book 2: In this book, an explanation of the amygdala’s functions and processes will be given. Furthermore, anxiousness keeps us from making rational, correct decision and thus, it eliminates beneficial opportunities in our future. We need to keep this in mind and care better about our mental health. This will be clarified and discussed as well. 
    Last but not least, this manual shows some signs of highly sensitive people, and expands on what to do when you can honestly label yourself as someone with such a personality. This can be extremely helpful to those who often wonder if there is something wrong with them, or who don’t recognize all the contributing factors to their hidden anxiety.

    Dangerous Decade - Taiwan’s...

    Taiwan’s position looks increasingly precarious, and tensions threaten to grow into a major strategic crisis. Chinese President Xi Jinping has made reunification with Taiwan a central pillar of his vision for China, and has ramped up diplomatic and economic pressure on Taiwan. Its inhabitants are increasingly estranged from the mainland, and Tsai Ing-wen’s administration refuses to conduct relations with China on Beijing’s terms. Taiwan could take on renewed strategic significance amid the backdrop of the deepening rivalry between China and the United States, and find itself at the centre of a Cold War-style superpower confrontation. 
     
    While Washington’s support and military power has historically guaranteed Taiwan’s security, this is no longer a certainty. This Adelphi book argues that China’s military modernisation has changed the cross-strait military balance, and the ability of the US to prevail in a conflict over Taiwan may have evaporated by 2030. As China feels increasingly empowered to retake Taiwan, there is significant potential for escalation, particularly given the ambiguity of Beijing’s ‘red lines’ on Taiwan. Neither Beijing, Taipei nor Washington want such a conflict, but each is challenging the uneasy status quo. Taylor calls for the introduction of a narrower set of formal crisis-management mechanisms designed to navigate a major Taiwan crisis.
