Charles Sweeny, the Man Who Inspired Hemingway

By: Charley Roberts,Charles P. Hess

Charles Sweeny (1882-1963) was the heir to a fortune. Renouncing a life of comfort, he became a warrior for causes he believed in. Twice kicked out of West Point, he fought in revolts against three Latin American dictators. He was a decorated officer in the French Foreign Legion and in the U.S. Army during World War I, a brigadier general in the Polish-Soviet War and a military advisor in the Greco-Turkish War. He led a flying squadron in Morocco's Rif War, advised Loyalists in the Spanish Civil War and spied for French intelligence during World War II. Before America entered the war, he dodged FBI agents and U.S. neutrality laws to recruit American pilots to fight the Nazis and became a group captain in the R.A.F.'s Eagle Squadron. After Pearl Harbor, he worked with "Wild Bill" Donovan to devise guerrilla campaigns in North Africa and Eastern Europe. This richly detailed biography draws on Sweeny's personal papers, historical documents and photographs to chronicle the fascinating life of America's most celebrated soldier of fortune--a lifelong friend of Ernest Hemingway and a model for his fictional heroes.

The Voyage of the Beagle

By: Charles Darwin

Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution and natural selection has been debated and disparaged over time, but there is no dispute that he is responsible for some of the most remarkable and groundbreaking scientific findings in history. His five-year trip as a naturalist on the H.M.S. Beagle took him on a journey to such exotic locales as Chile, Argentina, and the Galapagos Islands. Darwin wrote the details of this expedition, including his thoughts about the people on the ship and of course, his observations of the flora and fauna, in his journal, published as Voyage of the Beagle. It is here that his original interpretations of the Galapagos ecosystem and the impact of nature and selection are first revealed. This edition of the classic travel memoir is enhanced with an introduction by bestselling nature writer David Quammen, and is part of National Geographic’s major cross-platform event in spring 2009 to celebrate the anniversary.

Mental Chemistry

By: Charles F. Haanel

For every problem, there is a solution. For every person, there is a meaning. For every success, there is a formula. Synopsis “We live in a fathomless sea of plastic mind substance. This substance is ever alive and active. It is sensitive to the highest degree. It takes form according to the mental demand. Thought forms the mold or matrix from which the substance expresses. Our ideal is the mold from which our future will emerge.” Charles F. Haanel penned those words and in Mental Chemistry you will discover exactly how you and your thoughts and perceptions shape the world around you and how you can use your mental faculties to control what happens in your life. Some of the “secrets” you will learn are… How to “suggest” sickness and pain from your life. A sure-fire plan to quit smoking forever. How you can influence luck, fate, chance, and destiny. What it means to be one of the 2% that shapes progress and how you can be a part of that. Why you are the way you are and methods to change if you so desire. In the tradition of his best-selling book The Master Key System, Mr. Haanel delivers to us more insight into life and the ways and means to live it to the fullest. Originally published in 1922, Mental Chemistry continues to be pertinent and poignant today. With his unique way of making the complex understandable and the arcane graspable, Mr. Haanel supplies you with the knowledge you need for your continuing success and attainment.

Lt. Charles Gatewood and His Apache Wars Memoir

By: Charles B. Gatewood,Louis Kraft

Realizing that he had more experience dealing with Native peoples than other lieutenants serving on the frontier, Gatewood decided to record his experiences. Although he died before he completed his project, the work he left behind remains an important firsthand account of his life as a commander of Apache scouts and as a military commandant of the White Mountain Indian Reservation. Louis Kraft presents Gatewood's previously unpublished account, punctuating it with an introduction, additional text that fills in the gaps in Gatewood's narrative, detailed notes, and an epilogue."--BOOK JACKET.

Hand Me Another Brick

Timeless Lessons on Leadership

By: Charles R. Swindoll

Do others look to you for leadership? Do you face a major task or shoulder heavy responsibilities? Do you want to take your leadership skills to a higher level? When Nehemiah confronted the task of rebuilding Jerusalem's wall, he was heartbroken by the damage he saw and nearly overwhelmed by the task that lay before him. Yet through the application of timeless leadership principles, Nehemiah completed this nearly impossible project, and laid a pattern for success which is just as valid for us today. Charles Swindoll brings his sensible and straightforward style to offer a deeply spiritual approach to the role of leader. Whatever the context, secular or ministerial, he demonstrates how to size up a task, organize and motivate a team, and respond to inevitable obstacles such as these: Unforeseen setbacks Unrelenting deadlines Criticism and outside resistance Personality conflicts Financial pressures and temptations The insights that Swindoll draws from Nehemiah's wise administration will change your approach to leadership forever.

David Copperfield

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

David Copperfield

By: Charles Dickens

David Copperfield bezeichnet Dickens selbst als sein Lieblingskind: "Ich bin ein guter Vater gegen jedes Kind meiner Phantasie, ... aber ... im Innersten meines Herzens hege ich ein Lieblingskind, und sein Name ist David Copperfield". Für die Literaturgeschichte hat das Werk eine hohe Bedeutung auch durch die vielen autobiographischen Züge, die darin enthalten sind. David Copperfield wird nach dem Tode seines Vaters im Dorfe Blunderstone in Suffolk geboren und verlebt, von seiner Mutter und einer Magd, Peggotty, erzogen, glückliche Kinderjahre. Als er von einem längeren Aufenthalt bei Verwandten Peggottys zu seiner Mutter zurückkehrt, ist diese wieder verheiratet. Der Stiefvater Murdstone will nun den Knaben erziehen, da er aber nur prügelt, wird David so widersetzlich, dass man ihn in eine Schule nach London schickt,wo er bis zum Tode seiner Mutter bleibt. Dann wird er als Laufbursche in einer großen Londoner Weinhandlung untergebracht. Er wohnt bei Herrn Micawber, der aber bald so tief in Schulden gerät, dass er ins Gefängnis kommt. David fasst den Entschluss, aus dem Geschäft zu entlaufen und seine Tante Trotwood in Dover aufzusuchen.

The Power of Habit

Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business

By: Charles Duhigg

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • This instant classic explores how we can change our lives by changing our habits. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Wall Street Journal • Financial Times In The Power of Habit, award-winning business reporter Charles Duhigg takes us to the thrilling edge of scientific discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can be changed. Distilling vast amounts of information into engrossing narratives that take us from the boardrooms of Procter & Gamble to the sidelines of the NFL to the front lines of the civil rights movement, Duhigg presents a whole new understanding of human nature and its potential. At its core, The Power of Habit contains an exhilarating argument: The key to exercising regularly, losing weight, being more productive, and achieving success is understanding how habits work. As Duhigg shows, by harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our communities, and our lives. With a new Afterword by the author “Sharp, provocative, and useful.”—Jim Collins “Few [books] become essential manuals for business and living. The Power of Habit is an exception. Charles Duhigg not only explains how habits are formed but how to kick bad ones and hang on to the good.”—Financial Times “A flat-out great read.”—David Allen, bestselling author of Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity “You’ll never look at yourself, your organization, or your world quite the same way.”—Daniel H. Pink, bestselling author of Drive and A Whole New Mind “Entertaining . . . enjoyable . . . fascinating . . . a serious look at the science of habit formation and change.”—The New York Times Book Review

Black Power

Politics of Liberation in America

By: Charles V. Hamilton,Kwame Ture

An eloquent document of the civil rights movement that remains a work of profound social relevance 50 years after it was first published. A revolutionary work since its publication, Black Power exposed the depths of systemic racism in this country and provided a radical political framework for reform: true and lasting social change would only be accomplished through unity among African-Americans and their independence from the preexisting order.

A Tale of Two Cities

By: Charles Dickens

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

A Tale of Two Cities

By: Charles Dickens

Doctor Manette, a prominent French Doctor, must flee Paris in the midst of the chaos that has ensued in what became known as the Reign of Terror. Fearing further persecution from his 18 maddening years of imprisonment in the Bastille of Paris, Doctor Manette hurriedly leaves France to be with the daughter he’s never met. Opening with the famous lines, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...” Charles Dickens’, A Tale of Two Cities is perhaps one of the most celebrated and popular novels of its time. Weaving together the narratives of vastly different but equally profound characters against the backdrop of political revolution and strife, A Tale of Two Cities is a tale of human perseverance. Throughout the novel, Charles Dickens is able to portray the hardships of each social class during the trying times of the French Revolution in a way that is both profoundly elegant and heartbreaking at the same time. Becoming known as the perhaps the epitome of Dickensian writing and style, A Tale of Two Cities measures the boundaries of human will in the fight for what is right during a time when that just might cost your life.

The Flowers of Evil

By: Charles Baudelaire

In this classic of decadent poetics, the dark, troubled vision of Charles Baudelaire lives, growing like a tangled rosebush of prickling thorns, bringing the Satanic majesty of a fallen world into the metrical regularity of his poisoned pen verse. A French master every bit the equal of the gothic tragedian Poe, Baudelaire's "Flowers" encompasses and exposes a world of titanic grief and ultimate grace, wasted love and bitter, dark remonstrance. What are the dark, ugly byways and hidden, corrupt nooks of the human experience? A sweeping masterpiece of literary song. Online bookstore: www.lulu.com/zem66
