    The astonishing story of a brave little girl from Afghanistan who not only survived horrific disfiguring burns, but was given a second chance at life.  Tiny Dancer is the amazing true story of Zubaida Hasan, a nine-year-old girl from the remote deserts of Afghanistan, who, in the summer of 2001, accidentally fell into a kerosene fire while heating water for a bath. Though she was horribly mutilated, her father refused to give up and exhaustively sought help to save his child.   When an American Green Beret soldier by chance sees Zubaida and her father on the street, he decides he must get involved. With assistance from many members of the US military, little Zubaida is given a second chance at life. She is flown to Los Angeles to begin a two-year journey through a series of surgeries performed by famed burn surgeon Dr. Peter Grossman. He and his wife, Rebecca, eventually take the child into their own home. This is a heartfelt and inspiring story of incredible courage equally matched by incredible kindness.   “Flacco’s depiction of Zubaida’s culture shock is remarkable. [His] empathy and ability to tell Zubaida’s story like he’s inside her head makes for an engrossing feel-good read.” —Publishers Weekly   “Interesting and affecting. . . . [A] genuinely moving story.” —Booklist

    This book consists of two titles, which are the following: 
      
    Book 1: Many people have wondered what bipolar disorder is or what the symptoms are. While starting out with these simple facts, this guide goes much deeper into the subject. It covers a wide range of subtopics that will help you understand the nature of the disorder better. 
      
    For example, this book talks about the relationship of bipolar disorder to sleep deprivation, genetics, nutrients, and postpartum depression. 
      
    It also highlights some facts about the brain of someone with bipolar disorder, the reason why it’s so dominant in the United States as compared to other countries, and much, much more. 
      
      
      
      
    Book 2: Sometimes, when people are diagnosed with bipolar disorder, the diagnosis is wrong. In some cases, the condition is mistaken for borderline personality disorder, or the main essence of the disorder is still missing. We will investigate this further, as well as some of the criteria that a diagnosis like that has to meet. 
    Aside from this, this book will guide you along to comprehend what the effects of social media and socializing can have on a person with bipolar disorder. Last but not least, it emphasizes how couples can cope if one of them goes through the hardships of mania, depression, or other associated symptoms.

    It's time! To once and for all eliminate your fear of public speaking! 
    The secret to addressing the public's fears and anxieties is creating true confidence. 
    So many times have you been delayed by the fear of speaking? What chances have you missed? And how does that make you feel like that? Pretty poor I might imagine. 
    The fear of speaking in public is very popular. Simply put, you're not alone! You're perfectly fine. And this isn't your fault. It's possible that anything happened when you were young. It may have been as innocent as being laughed at in college. Who says that? All we do know, though, is that something has happened. 
    People who have glossophobia, fear of speaking publicly, may need some time to understand that they have a genuine phobia. It may take multiple trials and unsuccessful attempts to make an effective speech to make them know that they have a real problem. Typically, when the panic arises, the individual feels so dishearted by his abilities that his confidence is diminished and that he is convinced that he is worthless, or only "no good" when speaking openly. Through this way of thinking, the individual will then avoid being compelled to talk publicly at all costs and, when cleverly or luckily prevented, they will feel immense relief.What You Will Learn In This BookPublic Speaking And AnxietyHow Is Hypnosis Beneficial?Use Hypnosis In Public To Overcome AnxietyCan Hypnosis Cure Fear Of Public Speaking?Anxiety And Depression Hypnosis-Better Than Drugs?Public Speaking— How Self Hypnosis Cds Can SupportHypnosis For Charisma, Pain Attack, And TrustAnd Many More!

American sailors were subjected to pillage and enslavement while their government tried to negotiate tributes and ransom prices with the Islamic rulers of the Barbary nations. As the Barbary conflict intensified, Thomas Jefferson saw that negotiations could only proceed if the United States showed its military strength through a naval presence and the use of force in the Mediterranean. Jefferson committed himself to this cause as he rose to the position of secretary of state and later, president of the United States.   In Thomas Jefferson and the Tripoli Pirates: The Forgotten War that Changed American History, authors Brian Kilmeade and Don Yaeger trace the exciting tale of how these kidnappings led to the First Barbary War, what transpired between the warring nations, and how Thomas Jefferson’s decisions helped shape US policy today.   The summary and analysis in this ebook are intended to complement your reading experience and bring you closer to a great work of nonfiction.
