He has spent years preparing his nation's aerial defenses, utilizing the new technology of radar, training hundreds of hand-picked young pilots, and overseeing the design and purchase of the world's most up-to-date fighter aircraft. In time, the names \"Spitfire\" and \"Hurricane\" will become iconic, these airplanes synonymous with a David versus Goliath struggle between the RAF and German Luftwaffe. For the first time in history, the battlefield will not be land or water but entirely contested in the blue skies above. Nazi victory depends upon their overwhelming air power.

After the failure of Operation Pastorious, a spy mission to disarm American manufacturing plants, Hitler extolled his executive committee for risking German lives instead of the lives of \"criminals or Jews.\" That speech gave Canaris an idea.

It is both a practical guidebook and resource for anyone interested in mastering stress, including individuals, groups, workplaces, and those who serve them (such as coaches, counselors, trainers, and therapists). Each individual has an innate capacity to transform stress into an opportunity for thriving and flourishing. Stress is both a friend and teacher. We can tap into this truth through reminders, a certain vision, and practice of simple tools. And Raw Coping Power provides all of these with specific encouragement to use over 30 exercises in the tool section.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chapter on the 7 Principles first establishes a foundation of knowledge-with different maps borrowed from research. Each principle is discussed with examples, giving readers confidence that our mind-body system is designed to transform instead of succumb to stress.

Much of Raw Coping Power is based in scientific research and a Notes section gives additional citations and capsule clarifications for studies and other references used.

He was the third child of Thomas-Alexandre Davy de la Pailleterie (who took the name of Dumas), a nobleman who distinguished himself as one of Napoleon's most brilliant generals, and Marie-Louise-Elisabeth Labouret. Following General Dumas's death in 1806 the family faced precarious financial circumstances, yet Mme. Dumas scrimped to pay for her son's private schooling. Unfortunately he proved an indifferent student who excelled in but one subject: penmanship. In 1816, at the age of fourteen, Dumas found employment as a clerk with a local notary to help support the family. A growing interest in theater brought him to Paris in 1822, where he met François-Joseph Talma, the great French tragedian, and resolved to become a playwright. Meanwhile the passionate Dumas fell in love with Catherine Labay, a seamstress by whom he had a son. (Though he had numerous mistresses in his lifetime Dumas married only once, but the union did not last.) While working as a scribe for the duc d'Orléans (later King Louis-Philippe) Dumas collaborated on a one-act vaudeville, \u003ci\u003eLa Chasse et l'amour\u003c\/i\u003e ( The Chase and Love, 1825). But it was not until 1827, after attending a British performance of \u003ci\u003eHamlet, \u003c\/i\u003e that Dumas discovered a direction for his dramas. 'For the first time in the theater I was seeing true passions motivating men and women of flesh and blood, ' he recalled. 'From this time on, but only then, did I have an idea of what the theater could be.' \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDumas achieved instant fame on February 11, 1829, with the triumphant opening of \u003ci\u003eHenri III et sa cour\u003c\/i\u003e (Henry III and His Court). An innovative and influential play generally regarded as the first French drama of the Romantic movement, it broke with the staid precepts of Neoclassicism that had been imposed on the Paris stage for more than a century. Briefly involved as a republican partisan in the July Revolution of 1830, Dumas soon resumed playwriting and over the next decade turned out a number of historical melodramas that electrified audiences. Two of these works--\u003ci\u003eAntony\u003c\/i\u003e (1831) and \u003ci\u003eLa Tour de Nesle\u003c\/i\u003e (The Tower of Nesle, 1832)--stand out as milestones in the history of nineteenth-century French theater. In disfavor with the new monarch, Louis-Philippe, because of his republican sympathies, Dumas left France for a time. In 1832 he set out on a tour of Switzerland, chronicling his adventures in \u003ci\u003eImpressions de voyage: En Suisse\u003c\/i\u003e ( Travels in Switzerland, 1834-1837); over the years he produced many travelogues about subsequent journeys through France, Italy, Russia, and other countries. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAround 1840 Dumas embarked upon a series of historical romances inspired by both his love of French history and the novels of Sir Walter Scott. In collaboration with Auguste Maquet, he serialized \u003ci\u003eLe Chevalier d'Harmental\u003c\/i\u003e in the newspaper Le Siècle in 1842. Part history, intrigue, adventure, and romance, it is widely regarded as the first of Dumas's great novels. The two subsequently worked together on a steady stream of books, most of which were published serially in Parisian tabloids and eagerly read by the public. He is best known for the celebrated d'Artagnan trilogy--\u003ci\u003eLes trois mousquetaires\u003c\/i\u003e ( The Three Musketeers, 1844), \u003ci\u003eVingt ans après\u003c\/i\u003e (Twenty Years After, 1845) and \u003ci\u003eDix ans plus tarde ou le Vicomte de Bragelonne\u003c\/i\u003e ( Ten Years Later; or The Viscount of Bragelonne, 1848-1850)--and the so-called Valois romances--\u003ci\u003eLa Reine Margot\u003c\/i\u003e (Queen Margot, 1845), \u003ci\u003eLa Dame de Monsoreau\u003c\/i\u003e ( The Lady of Monsoreau, 1846), and \u003ci\u003eLes Quarante-cinc\u003c\/i\u003e ( The Forty-Five Guardsmen, 1848). Yet perhaps his greatest success was \u003ci\u003eLe Comte de Monte Cristo\u003c\/i\u003e ( The Count of Monte Cristo), which appeared in installments in Le Journal des debats from 1844 to 1845. A final tetralogy marked the end of their partnership: \u003ci\u003eMmoires d'un medecin: Joseph Balsamo\u003c\/i\u003e ( Memoirs of a Physician, 1846-1848), \u003ci\u003eLe Collier de la reine\u003c\/i\u003e ( The Queen's Necklace, 1849-1850), \u003ci\u003eAnge Pitou\u003c\/i\u003e ( Taking the Bastille, 1853), and \u003ci\u003eLa Comtesse de Charny\u003c\/i\u003e ( The Countess de Charny, 1852-1855). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 1847, at the height of his fame, Dumas assumed the role of impresario. Hoping to reap huge profits, he inaugurated the new Theatre Historique as a vehicle for staging dramatizations of his historical novels. The same year he completed construction of a lavish residence in the quiet hamlet of Marly-le-Roi. Called Le Château de Monte Cristo, it was home to a menagerie of exotic pets and a parade of freeloaders until 1850, when Dumas's theater failed and he faced bankruptcy. Fleeing temporarily to Belgium in order to avoid creditors, Dumas returned to Paris in 1853, shortly after the appearance of the initial volumes of \u003ci\u003eMes Memoires\u003c\/i\u003e ( My Memoirs, 1852). Over the next years he founded the newspaper Le Mousquetaire, for which he wrote much of the copy, as well as the literary weekly \u003ci\u003eLe Monte Cristo, \u003c\/i\u003e but his finances never recovered. In 1858 he traveled to Russia, eventually publishing two new episodes of \u003ci\u003eImpressions de voyage: Le Caucase\u003c\/i\u003e (Adventures in the Caucasus, 1859) and \u003ci\u003eEn Russie\u003c\/i\u003e (Travels in Russia, 1865). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe final decade of Dumas's life began with customary high adventure. In 1860 he met Garibaldi and was swept up into the cause of Italian independence. After four years in Naples publishing the bilingual paper L'Independant\/L'Indipendente, Dumas returned to Paris in 1864. In 1867 he began a flamboyant liaison with Ada Menken, a young American actress who dubbed him 'the king of romance.' The same year marked the appearance of a last novel, \u003ci\u003eLa Terreur Prussiene\u003c\/i\u003e (The Prussian Terror). Dumas's final play, Les Blancs et les Bleus (The Whites and the Blues), opened in Paris in 1869. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlexandre Dumas died penniless but cheerful on December 5, 1870, saying of death: 'I shall tell her a story, and she will be kind to me.' One hundred years later his biographer Andre Maurois paid him this tribute: 'Dumas was a hero out of Dumas. As strong as Porthos, as adroit as d'Artagnan, as generous as Edmond Dantes, this superb giant strode across the nineteenth century breaking down doors with his shoulder, sweeping women away in his arms, and earning fortunes only to squander them promptly in dissipation. For forty years he filled the newspapers with his prose, the stage with his dramas, the world with his clamor. Never did he know a moment of doubt or an instant of despair. He turned his own existence into the finest of his novels.'\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 752\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.58 x 8.28 x 6.36 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 21, 1999\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51755625283872,"sku":"9780375406577","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/32a1c78f7ac56050baa1618fae0c461d.webp?v=1780063943"},{"product_id":"breakthrough-business-development-a-90-day-plan-to-build-your-client-base-and-take-your-business-to-the-next-level-hardcover","title":"Breakthrough Business Development: A 90-Day Plan to Build Your Client Base and Take Your Business to the Next Level - Hardcover","description":"\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eDuncan MacPherson\u003c\/b\u003e (Author), \u003cb\u003eDavid Miller\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncrease Profits, Be more Organized, attract a Higher Quality \u0026amp; Quantity of Referrals, Run Your Business so That It Doesn't Run You, Take Your Business to the Next Level...

Instead of focusing on the victims or perpetrators of abuse, \u003ci\u003eMoral Wages\u003c\/i\u003e focuses exclusively on the service providers in the middle.

As long as they can overcome a number of workplace dilemmas, they earn a special type of emotional reward reserved for those who help others in need: moral wages.

For early modern people on both sides of the Atlantic, writing was also the province of notaries, men trained to cast other people's words in official forms and make them legally true. Thus the first thing Columbus did on American shores in October 1492 was have a notary record his claim of territorial possession. It was the written, notarial word--backed by all the power of Castilian enforcement--that first constituted Spanish American empire. Even so, the Spaniards who invaded America in 1492 were not fond of their notaries, who had a dismal reputation for falsehood and greed. Yet Spaniards could not do without these men. Contemporary scholars also rely on the vast paper trail left by notaries to make sense of the Latin American past. How then to approach the question of notarial truth? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKathryn Burns argues that the archive itself must be historicized. Using the case of colonial Cuzco, she examines the practices that shaped document-making. Notaries were businessmen, selling clients a product that conformed to local \"custom\" as well as Spanish templates. Clients, for their part, were knowledgeable consumers, with strategies of their own for getting what they wanted. In this inside story of the early modern archive, Burns offers a wealth of possibilities for seeing sources in fresh perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKathryn Burns leads us into the archive through a fine-grained historical ethnography of notarial practice and its social context in colonial Cuzco.

Traveling back to seventeenth-century Amsterdam, Petram visits the harbor and other places where merchants met to strike deals. He bears witness to the goings-on at a notary's office and sits in on the consequential proceedings of a courtroom. He describes in detail the main players, investors, shady characters, speculators, and domestic servants and other ordinary folk, who all played a role in the development of the market and its crises. His history clarifies concerns that investors still struggle with today, such as fraud, the value of information, trust and the place of honor, managing diverging expectations, and balancing risk, and does so in a way that is vivid, relatable, and critical to understanding our contemporary financial predicament.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLodewijk Petram is an economist and historian and regularly publishes on financial history in Dutch journals and newspapers.

Using different categories of sins as its organizing principle, the book considers the challenge of culture to the earliest converts to Christianity, as they struggled to live on mission in the Greco-Roman cultural milieu of the Roman Empire. These believers blurred and pushed the boundaries of what it meant to be a saint or sinner from the first to the fifth centuries CE, and their stories provide the opportunity to get to know the regular people in the early churches. At the same time, their stories provide a fresh perspective for considering the difficult timeless questions that stubbornly persist in our own world and churches: when is it a sin to eat or not eat a particular food? Are women inherently more sinful than men? And why is Christian nationalism a problem and, at times, a sin? Ultimately, recognizing that cultural sins were always a part of the story of the church and its people is a message that is both a source of comfort and a call to action in our pursuit of sanctification today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.49 x 9.02 x 6.11 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 14, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51764941357344,"sku":"9780310147817","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/cda72f543b72199d49d56e51d9200565.webp?v=1780258317"},{"product_id":"reparations-a-christian-call-for-repentance-and-repair-paperback","title":"Reparations: A Christian Call for Repentance and Repair - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eDuke L.
