Synopsis

Description:
In 1974, a shocking secret that had been buried for over two thousand years was unearthed in Lintong, Shaanxi Province - the Terracotta Army of the Qin Dynasty. It is a huge pottery army and is known as the Eighth Wonder of the World. There has always been controversy in the historical academic circle about who the owner of the Terracotta Army really is. However, there is a fact that a strange symbol was retained on the Terracotta Army. After research, it turned out to be two characters - "Mi Yue". Through the vicissitudes of time, the name "Mi Yue" finally emerged again.
She was the first empress dowager in Chinese history, also the first recorded powerful female politician, and even more, a pioneer who laid a solid foundation for the Qin Empire. There were very few records about her in historical books. Perhaps in that patriarchal society, people were unwilling to spend too much ink on a female figure, or perhaps it was because she broke through the moral constraints on women in that era.
From being the lowly-ranked Mi Ba Zi to becoming the all-powerful Empress Dowager Xuan, how many struggles and sacrifices did she have to experience? In the imperial court and the imperial harem, this weak woman who once stood at the top of the Chinese land was destined to become an astonishing legend in history.
In December 2015, the famous director Zheng Xiaolong led the original cast of "Empresses in the Palace" to create another historical drama "The Legend of Mi Yue".

    CONSCIOUS WEALTH: MONEY & INVESTING & A FINANCIAL AWAKENING FOR THE PERSON WHO HAS EVERYTHING by Brandon Hatton, CAP, CRCP, is for those who wake up one day and realize they have everything they always wanted and yet discover that it is not enough. Those with unlimited financial means are, ironically, often still operating from a place of scarcity. They are unaware of the negative stories they have built up around money and are unable to differentiate between being rich (having a lot of money) and being wealthy (having money but also a positive connection with self, with others, and with the bigger world). 
    Falling back on the lessons learned during his own journey, Brandon provides a clearly illustrated mindset around money and a framework around investments, both of which allows readers to focus on what matters most during their wealth creation journey. He helps others achieve not only stronger family communication and healthy personal interactions with money but also a desire and ability to impact the greater world through investments and a Conscious Wealth philosophy.

    A lyrical portrait of a young Irish woman reinventing herself at the turn of the twentieth century in America. 
     
     
     
    In July 1882, Ellen O'Hara stepped off a ship from the West of Ireland to begin a new life in New York. What she encountered was a world of casual racial prejudice that characterized her as ignorant, dirty, and feckless, the butt of many jokes. From the slim range of jobs available to her she, like, many of her kind, found a position as a domestic servant, working long hours and living in to save on rent and keep. After an unfortunate marriage, Ellen determined to win financial security on her own, and eventually opened a boarding house where her two children were able to rejoin her. 
     
     
     
    Vona Groarke builds this story from historical fact, drawing from various archives for evidence of Ellen. However, she also considers why lives such as Ellen's seem to leave such a light trace in such records and fills in the gaps with memory and empathetic projection. Ellen—scrappy, skeptical, and straight-talking—is the heroine of Hereafter, whose resilience animates the story and whose voice shines through with vivid clarity. Hereafter is both a compelling account of an incredible figure and a reflection on how one woman's story can speak for more than one life.

    In 1933 Sally-Jane Heit made a grab for the brass ring of stardom as she circled the carousel of life. 
    Did she catch it? 
    Even with all her talent, navigating the script written for a woman of her generation gave her one big headache. With an overbearing mother, a wayward husband, a wild stint in an open marriage, unconventional friendships, and three glorious daughters who didn’t get the mother they wanted but made do, her unstoppable dream of stardom moved her from summer stock to Broadway to Hollywood (where if you blinked, you’d miss her) 
    Her chance meeting with Lily Tomlin inspired her to create her doppelganger in Harriet Ferment, the star of her one-woman show, which she performed until she was 84. She finally became what she always wanted to be… in control. 
    Her story. Her way. 
    In Not Yet!, Sally-Jane dishes on her adventures and exploits on stage and off — a wild mix of epic drama and slapstick comedy. She spills the beans on negotiating family life, discovering she had a g-spot, flirting with fame, global warming of another kind, and dodging death. Buckle up for a wild ride of laughs, love, and a long and adventurous lifetime.

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
     
    In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
     
    The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
     
    Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
     
    In this volume we examine a decade of tumult and upheaval for the continent and its Empires as both countries and social classes tense under insoluble issues.  All at once Europe is engulfed in slaughter and overwhelmed by fighting.  Its authors use their pens both to help enlighten and to provide some scant strands of escape in these most demanding of times.

    A Pagan Polemic curates the evolving perspective of Jack Loeffler—itinerant wanderer, environmental warrior, storyteller, and story collector—whose true education began when he was marched into the Nevada desert one day at dawn to play "The Stars and Stripes Forever" during an atomic bomb test a scant few miles away. Since that day in 1957, Jack's mission in life has been to record peoples of the borderlands and to bring "indigenous mindedness" to the forefront of the conversation about our precarious environments and our decaying planet. A Pagan Polemic is a sweeping manifesto of Jack's core beliefs and long experience as a fierce (and funny) advocate for Nature and Nature-mindedness and against poisonous politics and policies.
