Life Story of Bruce Lee

Ttud Hseham

Beschreibung

Unfolding Dragon traces Bruce Lee’s journey from a newborn in San Francisco’s Chinatown to a global symbol of limitless human motion. Across twelve story-rich chapters, the book shows how he learned discipline dodging Hong Kong gangs, forged new martial ideas while washing dishes in Seattle, and won Hollywood by refusing roles that mocked his heritage. It explains his core principle—absorb what is useful, discard what is useless, add what is uniquely your own—and shows it at work in film sets, classrooms, and quiet living rooms. Readers witness dazzling highs, painful lows, and the fatal day when a single pain pill met an exhausted body. Yet the narrative’s final beat is not death but resonance: martial arts schools modernized, hip-hop sampled his voice, surgeons used his rehab notes, activists carried his image on protest signs, and schoolchildren worldwide still whisper “be water” before exams. The book balances celebration with caution, illustrating both the brilliance and the burnout of chasing perfection. Written in clear, vivid language, it offers practical takeaways—breathing drills, focus cues, mindset flips—that readers can test immediately. Part biography, part handbook for multidisciplinary creativity, Unfolding Dragon argues that Bruce Lee’s true art was not punching faster than the eye but showing ordinary people how to intercept fear and redirect energy toward honest self-expression. His legend lives because his lessons keep solving new problems. This book hands those lessons to you.

Windfall - Viola MacMillan and...

Tim Falconer

The fascinating, scandalous, and true story of Viola MacMillan and the Windfall mining scandal
		 
Viola MacMillan had it all: success, money, and respect. Influence, even. But in 1964, after three decades in the mining industry, one of the most fascinating women in Canadian business history was the central character in one of the country’s most famous stock scandals.
		 
MacMillan, who started out as a prospector in the ’30s, had developed lucrative mines and put together big deals. But she still wanted “a major discovery.” Early in July 1964, shares in Windfall Oil and Mines, a company she and her husband controlled, traded for around 56 cents. Then one day, the stock took off. In the absence of any information from the company about what it had found near Timmins on its claims, rumors and greed pushed the share price to a high of $5.70. MacMillan stayed quiet. Finally, after three weeks, Windfall admitted it had nothing.
		 
So many small investors lost money when the stock crashed that the Ontario government appointed a royal commission to examine what had happened, which led to changes at the Ontario Securities Commission and the Toronto Stock Exchange. Although MacMillan spent a few weeks in prison, she later received a pardon and the Order of Canada.

Lincoln 3 Complete Works -...

Geoffrey Giuliano

Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, led the nation through one of its most challenging periods in history—the American Civil War. Born in a humble log cabin in Kentucky in 1809, Lincoln's journey from a self-educated lawyer to the leader of a divided nation is a testament to his determination, intellect, and moral compass. Lincoln's unwavering commitment to preserving the Union, abolishing slavery, and promoting equality left an enduring legacy that continues to shape the United States to this day.

Lincoln's presidency was marked by the profound challenges of the Civil War, a conflict that threatened to tear the nation apart. His steadfast leadership and strategic vision were crucial in guiding the Union to victory, ultimately preserving the United States as one nation. Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation in 1862, which declared the freedom of enslaved individuals in Confederate territories, was a pivotal moment in the fight against slavery and laid the foundation for the eventual passage of the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which abolished slavery nationwide.

Beyond his impact on the Civil War and the abolition of slavery, Lincoln's legacy extends to his commitment to democratic ideals and the pursuit of equality. His Gettysburg Address, delivered in 1863, is a testament to his eloquence and his belief in the principles of liberty and equality for all Americans. Lincoln's assassination in 1865 cut short his presidency, but his contributions to the nation's history have secured his place as one of America's greatest leaders. His dedication to preserving the Union, his fight for justice, and his profound impact on the course of the nation continue to inspire generations and remind us of the enduring values that define the United States.

Pardon My French - Food faux pas...

Rachael Mogan McIntosh

At the school gate, when she accidentally kissed one new friend on the nose and called another a 'beautiful man-horse', Rachael realised that small-town France could hardly be more different to beach-side Australia. The smell of cigarettes replaced the tang of bone-broth and sprouted sourdough, the neighbours sometimes came to blows and under no circumstances would anyone 
wear active wear in public. Ever. 
 
Muddling through every interaction in terrible French pushed Rachael's family to their limits. Some days, everybody cried and ate their feelings with almond croissants. But the town of Sommières embraced these ragtag Australians, and the family fell in love with their temporary hometown and its outrageous gossip, cobblestoned beauty and kind, eccentric inhabitants.  
 
Pardon My French is a candid, hilarious love letter to family life and France with three valuable lessons for overcoming adversity: make home a beautiful nest, lean into the tough lessons and look for the comedy in everything.

The Shocking Truth about...

Zoey Fraisers

The criminal justice system is the cornerstone of maintaining order and enforcing laws in any society. It functions as the mechanism through which society addresses crime, ensures accountability, and administers justice. At its core, the system is composed of three key components: law enforcement, the judiciary, and corrections. Each of these plays an essential role in maintaining balance, protecting the rights of individuals, and upholding the rule of law. 
Law enforcement is the first point of contact for individuals involved in criminal activity. Police officers, detectives, and other law enforcement agencies are tasked with investigating crimes, making arrests, and ensuring public safety. They have the authority to detain individuals suspected of committing crimes and gather evidence to support prosecution. The relationship between law enforcement and the community is pivotal in ensuring a fair and just system. However, this power can be easily abused, leading to tensions, allegations of misconduct, and issues such as racial profiling. 
Once a crime is detected and an arrest is made, the case moves into the court system, where judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys interact. The role of the judiciary is to oversee trials, ensure fair procedures, and make determinations of guilt or innocence. The prosecutor represents the state’s interest, aiming to secure a conviction based on evidence, while the defense attorney works to protect the rights of the accused, challenging the evidence and the actions of the prosecution. A jury may be involved in determining the outcome, offering a layer of public scrutiny over the decisions made.
