    Magic. Mayhem. Soap. 
    Who better to ask about soap magic than a psychic, right? Well, I'm not convinced either, but if the soap works on the magically inclined as well as on other people, then that's not an opportunity for me to waste. And this is how I ended up in a pile of pillows, with the psychic under me, over me, and pretty much all around me. And one day, an archaeologist might discover under all those pillows a position we haven't tried yet, but until then, this was more than I had actually hoped for. 
    So, well, the third part of Soap Magic gets us through all the things lesbians can do to and with each other, including, but not limited to, pillow sex. Also conains soap.

    This book aims to serve as both mirror and roadmap. I have identified eight issues that are most critical in the lives of young African American males: income inequality, anti-intellectualism, racial stereotypes, social promotion and retention, incarceration, inadequately trained teachers, ineffective assessments, and the lack of early childhood intervention. Subsequent chapters will begin by addressing those issues supported by statistics and stories culled both from my personal experience and from the experiences of others. The chapters present a general discussion of the topic and examine efforts to overcome the difficulties. Each chapter will close with a substantial section on solutions to the problems. The discussion concentrates on what works—the practical steps to move us from the current crisis to a future of parity and promise.

  • The American Revolution and French Revolution - The History of the Revolutions that Reshaped the West in the 18th Century - cover

    The American Revolution and...

    The American Revolution is replete with seminal moments that every American learns in school, from the “shot heard ‘round the world” to the Declaration of Independence, but the events that led up to the fighting at Lexington & Concord were borne out of 10 years of division between the British and their American colonies over everything from colonial representation in governments to taxation, the nature of searches, and the quartering of British regulars in private houses. From 1764-1775, a chain of events that included lightning rods like the Townshend Acts led to bloodshed in the form of the Boston Massacre, while the Boston Tea Party became a symbol of nonviolent protest.  
    	The political and military nature of the Revolutionary War was just as full of intrigue. While disorganized militias fought the Battles of Lexington & Concord, George Washington would lead the Continental Army in the field while men like Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia and Benjamin Franklin negotiated overseas in France. Benedict Arnold would become one of his nation’s most vital war heroes and its most notorious traitor, French forces would play a crucial role at the end of the war, and the Treaty of Paris would conclude the Revolution with one last great surprise.  
    	The early years of the French Revolution were fueled by Enlightenment ideals, seeking the social overthrow of the caste system that gave the royalty and aristocracy decisive advantages over the lower classes. But history remembers the French Revolution in a starkly different way, as the same leaders who sought a more democratic system while out of power devolved into establishing an incredibly repressive tyranny of their own once they acquired it.  
    The height of Republican France’s tyranny came during a 10-month period forever known as the Reign of Terror, the most notorious and arguably most memorable part of the French Revolution.

    "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.

    Forallx is an introduction to sentential logic and first-order predicate logic with identity, logical systems that significantly influenced twentieth-century analytic philosophy. After working through the material in this book, a student should be able to understand most quantified expressions that arise in their philosophical reading. This book treats symbolization, formal semantics, and proof theory for each language. The discussion of formal semantics is more direct than in many introductory texts. Although forall x does not contain proofs of soundness and completeness, it lays the groundwork for understanding why these are things that need to be proven.
    Contents: 
    What is logic?
    Sentential logic
    Truth tables
    Quanti ed logic
    Formal semantics
    Proofs
    Other symbolic notation
