Collection: Adult

Presented by the National Constitution Center, an inspirational collection of essays exploring the founding principles that continue to shape American democracy from the nation's leading constitutional scholars across the political spectrum.

The Declaration was just the beginning.

The revolutionary ideas of 1776 set forth in the Declaration of Independence and the national framework established in the Constitution in 1787 laid the foundation for America's story--chapters that continue to shape our nation. What did liberty and equality mean in 1776 and what do they ask of us today?

In this one-of-a-kind keepsake volume, leading historical scholars take a fresh look at America's founding documents--the texts, historical context, key principles that animated the framers, and their influence across American history and around the world.

Featuring US Supreme Court Justices Neil M. Gorsuch and Stephen G. Breyer (Ret.), world-renowned scholars like Walter Isaacson and Akhil Reed Amar, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Gordon S. Wood, MacArthur Genius Grant recipient Danielle Allen, and numerous other New York Times bestselling authors, this commemorative collection of essays brings together our nation's foremost historians and scholars from across the political spectrum, and invites all Americans to explore the ideals that inspired the greatest and most enduring democratic experiment in history.

Este libro te enseñará el arte de conseguir que más clientes gasten más dinero más rápido.

Si tienes un negocio, este libro te ayudará a sacarle más partido.

Si tienes rivales, este libro te ayudará a vencerlos.

Si tienes objetivos económicos, este libro te ayudará a alcanzarlos.

No soy un gurú de la felicidad, del fitness, las inversiones, ni nada por el estilo. Pero puedo mostrarte cómo acelerar el flujo de caja en un negocio, es decir, cómo conseguir que más clientes gasten más dinero en menos tiempo (una y otra vez). Lo sé porque eso es exactamente lo que he venido haciendo a lo largo de mi carrera profesional.

A los 31 años ya había superado los 100 millones de dólares en patrimonio neto.

Hoy en día, me dedico a comprar y escalar empresas en mi negocio familiar, Acquisition.com.

Mi emprendimiento secundario y mi pasatiempo: crear contenido donde muestro cómo lo hacemos.

Mi meta en la vida, en tono de broma: ¡convertirme en el multimillonario más musculoso de todos!

Y mi verdadera meta, ahora en serio: es morir con las manos vacías, sin nada más para dar, habiéndolo dado todo.

Si quieres saber un poco más sobre el libro...

Un modelo de dinero es una secuencia deliberada de ofertas. Es lo que ofreces, cuándo lo ofreces y cómo lo ofreces para ganar tanto dinero como puedas en el menor tiempo posible. Lo ideal es ganar suficiente dinero con un cliente para conseguir y atender al menos a dos clientes más en menos de treinta días. No siempre es sencillo, pero yo divido los Modelos de dinero de $100M en tres etapas:

Etapa I: Conseguir dinero en efectivo: las ofertas de atracción consiguen más clientes por menos dinero.

Etapa II: Obtener más efectivo: las ofertas de venta adicional (upsell) y venta descendente (downsell) permiten ganar más dinero con esos mismos clientes más rápido.

Etapa III: Conseguir la mayor cantidad de dinero posible: las ofertas de continuidad maximizan el dinero total que gasta cada cliente.

En la vida real, sucede así...

Primero, consigo clientes de forma confiable. Luego, me aseguro de que paguen de forma confiable. A continuación, me aseguro de que paguen por otros clientes de forma confiable. Después, empiezo a maximizar el valor a largo plazo de cada cliente. Por último, gasto todo el dinero que puedo en publicidad para generar la mayor cantidad de dinero posible.

Este es mi "libro de recetas" para ganar dinero.

Me llevó más de una década aprender todas estas tácticas. A ti te llevará alrededor de tres horas. Úsalas con responsabilidad. ¡Disfrútalas!

Si quieres aprender más y hacer que tu negocio gane aún más dinero... AÑÁDELO AL CARRITO, aplica su contenido y ¡compruébalo tú mismo!

From #1 Amazon and USA Today Bestselling Author Bella Matthews comes a brother's best friend, bad boy/good girl, football romance.

Lucky Beneventi might be the villain in my fairytale, but given the choice, I'm not sure I'd have it any other way.

My brother's best friend and Philly's favorite football player is the same cocky bad boy every girl wants and the dangerous temptation I was never supposed to touch.

Until I did. . .
And now I can't stop.

I'm selfish enough to crave him-his kiss, his body, his heart-even when I know I'll leave it shattered in the end.

But this can't happen.
We can't happen.
I won't let us.

Even if he makes me feel alive in a way my broken body knows won't last forever. . .

Because the truth is, when the story ends, Lucky isn't the villain.
I am.

Fresh from the projects and a stint in Vietnam, Mike Shea hires into a sprawling shipyard south of the city at the height of Boston's racial clashes. When he encounters a ruthless company and a union leadership whose militancy has faded with the years, Shea reaches across the yard's explosive color line to join and then lead a movement for justice and respect.

As contracts for marine tankers are cancelled, management ratchets down on the workforce, igniting chaos and fear throughout the yard. Then a dangerously damaged tanker limps into the yard, triggering hope for new work but forcing Shea and the welders to choose between risking their lives and losing their jobs.

Brandow's nine years working as a shipyard welder and union activist inspired Goliath At Sunset, a novel of the American working class.

"Jon Brandow hits a home-run with his compelling and absorbing tale of the struggle for workers' rights in a Massachusetts shipyard. The book is simply marvelous and so completely absorbing I did not want to even pause in reading it." Bill Fletcher, Jr., author of The Man Who Changed Colors and The Man Who Fell From the Sky

"Brandow weaves a telling text, capturing diverse voices, youthful energy, and a shipyard's vocabulary and slang...Even if the reader is not a welder, the workplace's cadence and challenges, along with the pride in craft, shines through... For an authentic working-class novel, one can't go wrong with Goliath at Sunset." Mike Matejka, Power at Work

A facsmile first edition hardback of the Miss Marple books, published to mark the 75th anniversary of her first appearance and to celebrate her new-found success on television. When The Murder at the Vicarage was published in October 1930, little did the literary world realise that Agatha Christie, already famous for her early Poirot titles, was introducing a character who would become the best-loved female sleuth of all time. The 14 Marple books would appear at intervals over the next 49 years, with Miss Marple's Final Cases published in 1979, three years after Agatha's death. To mark the 75th anniversary of Miss Marple's first appearance, and to celebrate her renewed fortunes as a primetime television star, this collection of facsimile first editions will be the perfect way to enjoy these books in their original form - 12 novels and two short story collections. Reproducing the original typesetting and formats from the first editions from the Christie family's own archive copies, these books sport the original covers which have been painstakingly restored from the best available copies, reflecting five decades of iconic cover design.

El Séfer Raziel HaMalakh es uno de los textos más antiguos y enigmáticos de la tradición cabalística. Según la tradición, fue entregado por el ángel Raziel al primer hombre, Adám HaRishón, revelándole los secretos de la Creación, las fuerzas celestes y los misterios ocultos del universo.

Esta es la versión auténtica y original, tal como fue preservada por los grandes sabios de Israel -Shimón HaJasid, Yehudá HaJasid, Eleazar Rokeaj y Rabí Taubli- y revisada en su edición hebrea por el Rabino Jaím Kanievsky, de bendita memoria.

Esta primera parte contiene:

• La Oración de Adám HaRishón

• El Libro de la Vestimenta (Séfer HaMalbush)

• El concepto del Ruaj y el Vohu

• El orden del movimiento de las constelaciones y planetas

Cada capítulo revela cómo operan las esferas celestes y los ministros espirituales que cumplen la Voluntad del Creador. Es un texto que enseña no solo sobre los secretos del cielo, sino sobre la preparación interior necesaria para recibir sabiduría divina.

Esta nueva edición, traducida por Daniel Ben Eliyahu, nos presenta un lenguaje claro, gráficos modernizados y notas explicativas, permite acceder por primera vez al contenido del Séfer Raziel HaMalakh de manera profunda y comprensible. Fue el primer libro que abrió el camino de Ediciones Reé al mundo digital, y hoy regresa renovado, con una traducción accesible y cuidadosamente elaborada. Cada palabra, cada símbolo y cada nombre sagrado se presentan con respeto y precisión, preservando el misterio que ha acompañado a esta obra durante siglos.

Guárdalo como un tesoro, y permite que su sabiduría ilumine tu estudio y tu vida.

A plot is brewing between the adventure and romance aisles.

When visiting Twig's Traveling Tomes, customers will get the exact book they need, even if it isn't the one they want. As for the proprietor and renowned Book Witch, Louella Twig lives her life sequestered with her stories, just as she likes it.

When devilishly handsome rogue Everett Sharp stumbles in looking to remove some handcuffs--closely followed by Louella's former tutor, whose prized grimoire has been stolen--her literary sanctuary is fully upended. Only Louella's magic can locate the grimoire, and teaming up with Everett is her best chance at retrieving it . . . but how can she trust that the man behind the wolfish grin isn't interested in stealing the book for himself?

With a host of friends old and new, Louella sets off on an adventure she never thought she'd take--and starts to realize that, just like her books, what matters most has always been what's under the surface.

A sweeping Cold War love story set against the crumbling Soviet empire

Moscow, 1986. Natalie Chester has finally achieved her dream: a posting as an American news correspondent in the USSR at the very moment history pivots. But within days of her arrival, the Chernobyl disaster erupts, her fiancé abandons her, and her bureau chief wages a relentless campaign to destroy her career.

Then she meets Anatoly Kuznetsov--a rising Soviet diplomat whose Nordic looks and reformist ideals set him apart from the gray functionaries of the Kremlin. Their attraction is immediate and dangerous. As they navigate secret meetings, KGB surveillance, and the disapproval of both governments, Natalie and Tolya become allies in a larger mission: to help end the Cold War before it ends humanity.

From the radioactive aftermath of Chernobyl to clandestine trips through the Estonian countryside, from war-torn Afghanistan to a cherry blossom proposal in Tokyo, their love affair unfolds against the decade's most dramatic events--the Reykjavik summit, Gorbachev's glasnost reforms, and the brutal suppression of Baltic independence movements. But as the Soviet empire begins its death throes, the couple discovers that the hardliners willing to kill for the old order will stop at nothing to preserve their power.

Inspired by the author's own experiences as a Moscow correspondent during perestroika, Dispatches from Moscow is a meticulously researched thriller that captures the intoxicating danger of journalism in an authoritarian state and the impossible choices faced by those who dare to imagine a better world. It's a story of professional ambition and personal sacrifice, of idealism tested by reality, and of a love that burns brightest in the shadow of the Iron Curtain's final days.

National Book Award-winning author Timothy Egan calls David Horsey's Beach of Stars "a wonderful novel" and "a masterful bit of storytelling." National Book Award winner Charles Johnson says, "the novel is amazingly good." Best-selling author Will Schwalbe puts it simply: "The book is terrific." Beach of Stars opens with a 21-year-old college student working a summer job in Mexico. In an act of whimsy, he takes a beer to a young woman on a secluded beach. That simple decision ignites a chain of events that, twenty years on, lures him from his career in city politics into a search for the now-fugitive woman -- a journey of revelation that climaxes in a star-crossed reckoning with the past. More than a romance, more than a mystery, Beach of Stars is an odyssey steered by the small choices, impulsive actions, bad timing and happy coincidences that propel human lives toward calamity or bliss.

Meet Betty Block--docile daughter, woebegone wife, aspiring aspirant, and anti-heroine for the ages! Or is the narrator of Madeline McDonnell's farcical, heartbreaking, and formally brilliant first novel just another woman caught in the sneakily patriarchal plots of the early-aughts? And has she left her ostensibly sensitive husband for an hour or two or forever?

As Betty pulls up a chair at the Lonesome Ballroom and tries to explain herself to Lizzie, her erudite-but-distant bartender, she finds herself as trapped by her generation's competing expressions of sincerity and sarcasm as her mother was by the incomplete feminism of the '70s and her grandmother by the insidiously sweet storylines of Hollywood's Golden Age.

An inquiry into gender's relationship to popular aesthetics that swirls from ancient epics to turn-of-the-millennium reality shows, mid-century melodramas to neo-noir car chases, beauteous battle scenes to boy-next-door meet-cutes, Lonesome Ballroom is also a dazzling and rambunctious performance in prose.
