10 Seconds That Changed My Life

“Thursday, June 15, 2017, will be embedded in my memory forever,” says author Iain MacLeod. “I greeted the summer day eager to face the world with my usual free-spirited independence, and ended the day lying in the Intensive Care unit of a hospital in Aberdeen, Scotland, with a ventilating tube down my throat. Billions of people get out of bed every day without any problem, and that had been true my entire life despite being a wheelchair user with Cerebral Palsy since the age of three. But when I got out of bed that fateful morning, everything went horribly wrong.” In his book 10 Seconds That Changed My Life, Iain inspires with his realistic, heartfelt writing and original poems of his beloved Scotland. He captures the various stages of his hospital experience as well as his personal journey through joy and sorrow, frustration and elation, and the reality of coming home to a new normal. By writing and publishing this book, he hopes to encourage those with special needs to never give up, and to always remember that they are able, not disabled, and have unique abilities to share with the world.

100 Amazing Facts About the Negro

The first edition of Joel Augustus Rogers's now legendary 100 Amazing Facts About the Negro with Complete Proof, published in 1957, was billed as "A Negro 'Believe It or Not.'" Rogers's little book was priceless because he was delivering enlightenment and pride, steeped in historical research, to a people too long starved on the lie that they were worth nothing. For African Americans of the Jim Crow era, Rogers's was their first black history teacher. But Rogers was not always shy about embellishing the "facts" and minimizing ambiguity; neither was he above shock journalism now and then. With élan and erudition-and with winning enthusiasm-Henry Louis Gates, Jr. gives us a corrective yet loving homage to Roger's work. Relying on the latest scholarship, Gates leads us on a romp through African, diasporic, and African-American history in question-and-answer format. Among the one hundred questions: Who were Africa's first ambassadors to Europe? Who was the first black president in North America? Did Lincoln really free the slaves? Who was history's wealthiest person? What percentage of white Americans have recent African ancestry? Why did free black people living in the South before the end of the Civil War stay there? Who was the first black head of state in modern Western history? Where was the first Underground Railroad? Who was the first black American woman to be a self-made millionaire? Which black man made many of our favorite household products better? Here is a surprising, inspiring, sometimes boldly mischievous-all the while highly instructive and entertaining-compendium of historical curiosities intended to illuminate the sheer complexity and diversity of being "Negro" in the world.

100 Facts About Giving: Maximizing the influence behind 'Giving-Released Blessings' through the divi

This book '100 Facts About Giving' was birthed out of prayer; and it is the very first piece of work of the author, which is full of Spirit-filled nuggets and facts. The book actually seeks to uncover all the benefits which accompany the act of giving, and also to address all the countless controversial questions and issues which confront it. Such as why is it that I give but I do not receive as I should? Is giving compulsory? Is tithing compusory for the New Testament believer of God? I am afraid to give because the world is full of evil etc. Yes, the assurance is that, people with such mind-baffling questions are not far from knowing the truth, because the book has provided the right answers to such questions, backed with bible scriptures to address them accordingly, and also to make it safe and balanced for the listener. The ultimate goal of the author is to see you begin and continue to receive heavenly window blessings through the power of giving. He also believes that giving, which in some versions of the bible is translated as kindness or charity, as captured in Galatians 5:22, ''But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, Longsuffering, kindness, Faithfulness,'' should not only be a part and parcel of some persons, but it should rather be accepted by all as God-given timeless opportunity to bless all those who willingly practise it in season and out of season. In the final analysis, the author hopes to achieve the following; 1. Those who once were givers will be inspired again, and remember their first love with zeal in the ministry of giving; 2. Those who currently practise the act of giving will be better encouraged to continue to do so without ceasing. 3. Finally, to inspire and challenge new souls to join this divine club of givers. Stay blessed!

100 Quotes about Peace

We have selected for you 100 great quotes about peace. The range of authors of those 100 quotes about peace is very wide: from Martin Luther King Jr to Mother Teresa, from Mahatma Gandhi, of course, to Aristotle, Confucius, Albert Einstein, John Lennon, from Dalai Lama XIV to Pablo Picasso or George Washington. A great quote is very similar to a great thinking and a small poem. It can encapsulate a large web of ideas, thoughts, reflections, emotions in a few words. The reader of a great quote is forced to think about what he just heard. He has to think about those words and what they mean. An excellent quote requires the reader to pause to contemplate the real meaning and poetry of a few words. A great thought reaches a level of universality. Quotes hit hard into the essence of being human. The right quote can help us see some invisible meanings of things or subjects. War is not a fatality, peace is not an accident. While some see war as a universal and ancestral aspect of human nature, others argue that it is only a result of specific socio-cultural or ecological circumstances. According to Conway W. Henderson, one source claims that 14,500 wars have taken place between 3500 BC and the late 20th century, costing 3.5 billion lives, leaving only 300 years of peace. So everyone should at least think about this subject, and be prepared to be concerned directly or indirectly by this question, peace or war.

100 Quotes by Ambrose Bierce

‘100 Quotes by Ambrose Bierce’ is a selection of thoughts, observations, and sayings by one of the most inventive minds of the 19th century.

After fighting in the American Civil War, where he got severely wounded, Bierce moved to San Francisco. A writer for ‘Hearst Magazines’ until 1909, Bierce carved out a formidable reputation as a journalist, with his experiences in the Civil War laying the foundations for many of his literary works. His style highlighted the futility of war and questioned the importance of dying for beliefs, rather than knowledge. In addition to writing about the gritty absurdities of war, Bierce became a respected writer of horror, his stories acting as inspiration for various TV shows and films, including ‘The Twilight Zone,’ and ‘Old Gringo,’ starring Jane Fonda and Gregory Peck.

100 Things We've Lost to the Internet

The acclaimed editor of The New York Times Book Review takes readers on a nostalgic tour of the pre-Internet age, offering powerful insights into both the profound and the seemingly trivial things we've lost. Remember all those ingrained habits, cherished ideas, beloved objects, and stubborn preferences from the pre-Internet age? They're gone. To some of those things we can say good riddance. But many we miss terribly. Whatever our emotional response to this departed realm, we are faced with the fact that nearly every aspect of modern life now takes place in filtered, isolated corners of cyberspace-a space that has slowly subsumed our physical habitats, replacing or transforming the office, our local library, a favorite bar, the movie theater, and the coffee shop where people met one another's gaze from across the room. Even as we've gained the ability to gather without leaving our house, many of the fundamentally human experiences that have sustained us have disappeared. In one hundred glimpses of that pre-Internet world, Pamela Paul, editor of The New York Times Book Review, presents a captivating record of the world before cyberspace-from voicemails to blind dates to punctuation to civility. There are the small losses: postcards, the blessings of an adolescence largely spared of documentation, the Rolodex, and the genuine surprises at high school reunions. But there are larger repercussions, too: weaker memories, the inability to entertain oneself, and the utter demolition of privacy. 100 Things We've Lost to the Internet is at once an evocative swan song for a disappearing era and, perhaps, a guide to reclaiming just a little bit more of the world IRL.
