Book Description

This epic retelling of the legendary Carthaginian military leader’s assault on the Roman empire begins in Ancient Spain, where Hannibal Barca sets out with tens of thousands of soldiers and 30 elephants. After conquering the Roman city of Saguntum, Hannibal wages his campaign through the outposts of the empire, shrewdly befriending peoples disillusioned by Rome and, with dazzling tactics, outwitting the opponents who believe the land route he has chosen is impossible. Yet Hannibal’s armies must take brutal losses as they pass through the Pyrenees mountains, forge the Rhone river, and make a winter crossing of the Alps before descending to the great tests at Cannae and Rome itself. David Anthony Durham draws a brilliant and complex Hannibal out of the scant historical record–sharp, sure-footed, as nimble among rivals as on the battlefield, yet one who misses his family and longs to see his son grow to manhood. Whether portraying the deliberations of a general or the calculations of a common soldier, vast multilayered scenes of battle or moments of introspection when loss seems imminent, Durham brings history alive.

Book Description

DON'T READ! YOU WILL UNLOCK THE SECRETS TO FINDING UNCONDITIONAL LOVE & LIFELONG HAPPINESS Let's make one thing clear: Yes, I am a 22-year-old male virgin, by choice, who is proud of his decision. Why? Good question. Stick around, because that's what I'll be talking about in this book. As a student athlete in college, surrounded by beautiful women at a public university in the liberal state of California, it was nearly impossible. Making this choice wasn't easy, but it was a necessary step in my journey to finding unconditional love, beauty, truth, peace and happiness. CAN YOU RELATE...? Wondering why you haven't found true love yet or if something's wrong with you? Tired of failed relationships: Getting cheated on, used, lied to, or reduced to a sex object? Haunted by your past and left wondering if you'll ever be satisfied and find peace or happiness? Feeling empty, lacking purpose in a relationship or life, and asking if love is even real? looking for the shameless, naked truth about love, sex, and your worth? In a world where money-thirsty "gurus" bombard you with unrealistic, destructive illusions of romance and intimacy, a generation is starving to know the shameless, naked truth about love, sex, and their own worth. Young people are drowning in misinformation and misunderstanding with nobody to help them. Until now. It's time to expose the liberating truth. You have a choice: Either take my hand and walk with me in this transformative journey, or stay bitter, lost, and restless. Will you take a risk with me?

Book Description

Red is a brilliantly told, captivating history of red hair throughout the ages. A book that breaks new ground, dispels myths, and reinforces the special nature of being a redhead, with a look at multiple disciplines, including science, religion, politics, feminism and sexuality, literature, and art. With an obsessive fascination that is as contagious as it is compelling, author Jacky Colliss Harvey (herself a redhead) begins her exploration of red hair in prehistory and traces the redhead gene as it made its way out of Africa with the early human diaspora to its emergence under Northern skies. She goes on to explore red hair in the ancient world; the prejudice manifested against red hair across medieval Europe; red hair during the Renaissance as both an indicator of Jewishness during the Inquisition and the height of fashion in Protestant England, under the reign of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I; the modern age of art and literature, and the first positive symbols of red hair in children's characters; modern medicine and science and the genetic and chemical decoding of red hair; and finally, red hair in contemporary culture, from advertising and exploitation to "gingerism" and the new movement against bullying.
