#12 - James W. McAuley - An Introduction to Politics, State and Society

Author or Editor: James W. McAuley
Publisher: Sage Publications
Published: 2003
Pages: 232

All of us live in a social world dramatically altered and recreated in recent decades. It is a world still undergoing rapid economic, social and political change in lifestyle, in gender roles, in the running of the state, and in the very dernition of society in a globalized world. How, for example, are we to best understand such climactic transformations as those involving the collapse of the Soviet bloc and end of the Cold War, the startling speed of technological change, the effects of globalization and the turn towards religious fundamentalist, ethic, regionalist, environmentalist and consumerist politics?

#11 - Robert Greene - The Art of Seduction

Author or Editor: Robert Greene
Publisher: Penguin Group
Published: 2001
Pages: 467

Thousands of years ago, power was mostly gained through physical violence and maintained with brute strength. There was little need for subtlety—a king or emperor had to be merciless. Only a select few had power, but no one suffered under this scheme of things more than women. They had no way to compete, no weapon at their disposal that could make a man do what they wanted—politically, socially, or even in the home.
Of course men had one weakness: their insatiable desire for sex. A woman could always toy with this desire, but once she gave in to sex the man was back in control; and if she withheld sex, he could simply look elsewhere—or exert force. What good was a power that was so temporary and frail? Yet women had no choice but to submit to this condition. There were some, though, whose hunger for power was too great, and who, over the years, through much cleverness and creativity, invented a way of turning the dynamic around, creating a more lasting and effective form of power.

#10 - Martin Merrill - Make Woman Laugh

Author or Editor: Martin Merrill
Publisher: Martin Merrill Press
Published: 2006
Pages: 185

Some people may be better at expressing humor that suits more people’s tastes. Some people are just less adept in saying the right things at the right time. And if one doesn’t exercise his or her sense of humor often, he or she goes into a vicious cycle where he loses even more sense of humor. However, no matter what kind of bores you’ve met so far, you know that everyone is born with a sense of humor.

#5 - Herbert W.Armstrong - Mystery of the Ages

Author or Editor: Herbert W.Armstrong
Publisher: Philadelphia Church of God
Published: 2007
Pages: 300

Did you ever ask yourself: “Who am I? What am I? Why am I?” The world about you is a mystery. You yourself are a mystery. You have never seen your brain, the seat of your intellect and all that you are.
Your life is engulfed in mysteries. On reflection, your very existence is a mystery. Did you simply happen by unintelligent resident earthly forces without meaning or purpose, or were you intelligently designed and created by an all-powerful God of supreme mind for a purpose that also has been hidden in mystery? In fact, the persistent tradition throughout human history about the Creator God has been such a mystery that higher education in the Western world has sought to erase the mystery by giving its virtually unanimous acceptance to the theory of evolution.

#3 - Franklin Potter and Christopher Jargodzki - Mad About Modern Physics

Author or Editor: Franklin Potter and Christopher Jargodzki
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Published: 2005
Pages: 296

Mad about Modern Physics can be read with profit by anyone who has had some exposure to a year of introductory physics and is eager to learn more about its applications and its more recent discoveries. Most puzzles are nonmathematical in character and require only a qualitative application of fundamental physics principles. Many physics concepts are defined directly or indirectly in the questions or in the answers, so they can be found with the aid of the index. However, even someone who knows the subject will quickly realize that the application of physics to the real world can be quite challenging, and in this sense this is not an elementary book.

#1 - David C. Young - A Brief History of the Olympic Games

Author or Editor: David C. Young
Publisher: Blackwell Publishing
Published: 2004
Pages: 184

The Olympic Games. Few phrases immediately bring to mind so many images – grandeur, excellence, internationalism, history –maybe even a glimmer of peace. True, a few images are negative. But for many of us the positive images so outweigh them that even real flaws in the games seem almost negligible. A fan of the Olympics since boyhood, for more than twenty years I have spent much of my time doing research on the ancient Olympics and the early years of the modern revival. I therefore welcomed the chance to write this book.
