    This book consists of 4 different titles, which are about the following topics: 
    Topic 1: Socializing can be a real challenge. You may not think of it as such, but if you take into account all the subtle body language, what different meanings the words imply, and tone of voice, it can be tricky for those who get nervous or don’t possess the skills to see all those references. 
      
    Topic 2: Many people have become masters at reading people’s thoughts. They use techniques they have learned from others to their advantage. It’s not impossible. It’s definitely a skill that can be acquired and improved. In this book, we’ll touch on several aspects related to this principle, such as: 
    Millennial personality types and how to analyze them. 
    How to communicate to people with various personality types. 
    Mind reading techniques from the pros. 
    A fascinating discussion about the reality and the myths concerning intuition and instinct. 
    Simple methods to become better at reading people’s hidden messages. 
    Topic 3: There are several topics included in this book that relate to influencing others. Some of these can help you master your own emotions and qualities. Others can improve your leadership skills or help you communicate with people more effectively.  
      
    Topic 4: What is the psychology behind body language? 
      
    What can we learn from what people aren’t saying? 
      
    These are common questions. But although they are often asked, they aren’t always clearly answered. Today, this book can change all that. It can give you precise guidelines on how to read people’s signs and nonverbal cues.

    Admiral David Farragut: The Life...

    Americans have long been fascinated by the Civil War, marveling at the size of the battles, the leadership of the generals, and the courage of the soldiers. Since the war's start over 150 years ago, the battles have been subjected to endless debate among historians and the generals themselves. The Civil War was the deadliest conflict in American history, and had the two sides realized it would take 4 years and inflict over a million casualties, it might not have been fought. Since it did, however, historians and history buffs alike have been studying and analyzing the biggest battles ever since.  
    	After the first year of the Civil War, the Confederacy was faced with a serious problem. While the South had enjoyed some stunning victories on land, they had been all but cut off from the world at sea. The more industrialized North had realized that in case of an extended war, the best way to defeat the Confederacy was to starve it of supplies. The rebels started the war with no real navy to speak of, and so the federal government quickly set up a blockade of all Southern ports and river mouths. By depriving the South of revenues derived from its main export, cotton, the North seriously injured the Southern economy.  
    	Meanwhile, the North managed to have spectacular success jointly coordinating operations between the Army and Navy, thanks in large measure to the leadership of officers like David Farragut. While generals like Ulysses S. Grant and William Tecumseh Sherman received the lion’s share of the credit for Union victories, especially in the Western Theater, naval forces were instrumental in the capture of New Orleans and Vicksburg, as well as at Fort Donelson and Fort Henry, and Farragut was immediately recognized for his service. Congress made him the nation’s first Rear Admiral in history in 1862, and Farragut would also go on to become the first man in the history of the U.S. Navy to attain the rank of Admiral.

    Learn more about a key military bastion of the American Revolution and guard of the Western frontier, Pittsburgh, through this illustrated history. For nearly half a century, Fort Pitt stood at the forks of the great Ohio River. A keystone to British domination in the territory during the French and Indian War and Pontiac’s Rebellion, it was the most technologically advanced fortification in the Western Hemisphere. Early Patriots later seized the fort, and it became a rallying point for the fledgling Revolution. Guarding the young settlement of Pittsburgh, Fort Pitt was the last point of civilization at the edge of the new American West. With vivid detail, historian Brady Crytzer traces the full history of Fort Pitt, from empire outpost to a bastion on the frontlines of a new republic.
