Today we are living longer than ever before, and a few of us can expect to live to 100 or more. But many people feel that they will inevitably suffer the diseases of old age in their final years. Pharmaceutical companies have spent billions of dollars trying to find a cure for the "diseases of aging"—they may have found ways to stem some of the symptoms, but they have yet to find a panacea. Yet there are places in the world where, all along, people have commonly lived to 100 or more without suffering so much as a headache. How do they do it? The answer is simple: through sound dietary habits and balanced, healthy lifestyles. The 50 Secrets of the World's Longest Living People looks at the nutrition and lifestyle mores of the world's five most remarkable longevity hotspots—Okinawa, Japan; Bama, China; Campodimele, Italy; Symi, Greece; and Hunza, Pakistan—and explains how we too can incorporate the wisdom of these people into our everyday lives. It offers each of the secrets in detail, provides delicious, authentic recipes, and outlines a simple-to-master plan for putting it all together and living your best, and longest, life.

Treasures of many kinds still lie hidden below crumbling castles and ruined monasteries; in macabre tombs; in subterranean labyrinths and sinister caverns. Many sunken treasures lie beneath the seas, oceans and lakes of the world. Vast stores of pirate gold are still hidden on many a real life treasure island such as Oak Island at Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia. Many treasures were looted, hidden and lost after the two World Wars - Hermann Goering, for example, one of most powerful leaders of Nazi Germany, is strongly suspected of hiding huge treasures at Veldenstein and Lake Zeller. This fascinating, expertly researched book brilliantly reveals all these unsolved mysteries. The final section covers useful ideas for treasure-seekers: the study of old maps and charts; coded messages; secret symbols; and intensive research into the lives and locations of those people through out history who probably in all certainty, had treasure to hide.

This is a major survey and assessment of U.S. intelligence activities over the last forty-five years. It offers a systematic and authoritative evaluation of American intelligence-gathering machinery: how it has been used, misused, and on occasion, ignored. The book has been hailed as "a splendid work, reflective and penetrating" by James R. Schlesinger; while Zbigniew Brzezinski describes Laqueur as "a man who understands the relationships between history and the world of secret services." Henry S. Rowen noted that Laqueur "brings a rare degree of analytical power to this important subject."

THE WORLD IS an establishment that is run by ideologies. These ideologies are never static. One generation after another, social, political and economic transformations occur based on theprevailing ideologies. One thing is sure though: certain truths willnever die until they find expression. Fundamental truths cannot bekept secret for eternity. The sheer force of revolution will compeleven the best kept secrets to pop out beyond any veneer ofconcealment when the time comes.Top Secrets of This World is evidence that we are living in such amoment. It partly arouses waning hopes of establishing the trueidentity, mindset and modus operandi of those who mastermindedthe world's most shocking events in the global arena. Itreprimands the apathy and aloofness displayed by world citizens- especially those in positions of influence such as leaders, mediaorganizations or civil society - towards the real causes and effectsof the kind of change the world has witnessed.The author takes issue with the tradition that heaps all blame onthe Almighty or on some nebulous fate whenever an event with aworld headline occurs. He seeks to remove masks from the facesof the masses that for ages have been veiled by carefully craftedimpressions of those who engineer such acts.From Africa to Europe, from America to the rest of the world, fromthe dingy and dusty rural corners to the bedrooms andboardrooms of presidential palaces, this book lays bare themysteries that should have been trumpeted from rooftops longtime age.With this book around, the citizens of the world - a shrinkinginterconnected global village today - can at least be vigilant withthe way their nations are governed. They will be able to read thecorrect innuendos in local leadership intrigues, world conflicts orinternational agreements, and sieve out genuine leadership frompolitical razzmatazz. This way, citizens can keep a scorecard oftheir leaders and their moves and demand sanity where it lacks

Katelynn Anthony has always considered herself to be a plain little Southern girl living a boringly uneventful life. But now, nothing could be further from the truth. After Ms. Lera, the elderly lady who had been her surrogate grandmother, mentor, and benefactor passes away, Katelynn is swept away to Scotland to take care of her final arrangements. And as Ms. Lera's heir, Katelynn finds herself caught up in a world of dazzling creatures and dangerous foes as she adjusts to her new title: Lord of Castle Go-Brath. Not only will Katelynn learn more about Ms. Lera's adventurous past, but she will uncover secrets about herself and the world she thought she knew. Carly Robbins was born and raised in the Great Smokey Mountains-land of the Cherokee, home of the black bear, mountain lion, and elk-where the rivers run deep and long unbothered by man. In the early morning, when the mist of a new day is still tucked deep in the valleys and the sun has just begun to creep over the mountain, if you listen close, you can hear the giggle of fairies or catch the glimpse of a leprechaun. Okay, not really, but these mountains have fostered Robbins's vivid imagination. The peaceful hamlet of her hometown, Bryson City, reminded her ancestors so much of their precious Ireland and beautiful Scotland that they decided to call it home. As a child several generations removed, she loved hearing all of their stories. Some of these stories had evolved from Irish and Scottish folklore into a mix of Appalachian/Southern stories, and she tried to weave these into her book. She hopes you enjoy and that you may even see someone you know and love in the pages.

A WASHINGTON POST BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR When a man discovers his father in New York has long had another, secret, family—a wife and two kids—the interlocking fates of both families lead to surprise loyalties, love triangles, and a reservoir of inner strength in this "expansive and elegantly crafted novel" (Fresh Air, NPR). "Rich with the complexities of life . . . the stories create a world made fully dimensional through changes of perspective—major characters appear and reappear as part of one or another’s experience and testimony . . . Pull any life’s thread and you discover a mesh of involvement that soon takes in all the others. It is a fine thing, subtly done, and truly exhilarating." —The Wall Street Journal Ethan, a young lawyer in New York, learns that his father has long kept a second family—a Thai wife and two kids living in Queens. In the aftermath of this revelation, Ethan's mother spends a year working abroad, returning much changed, as events introduce her to the other wife. Across town, Ethan's half brothers are caught in their own complicated journeys: one brother's penchant for minor delinquency has escalated, and the other must travel to Bangkok to bail him out, while the bargains their mother has struck about love and money continue to shape their lives. As Ethan finds himself caught in a love triangle of his own, the interwoven fates of these two households elegantly unfurl to encompass a woman rallying to help an ill brother with an unreliable lover and a filmmaker with a girlhood spent in Nepal. Evoking a generous and humane spirit, and a story that ranges over three continents, Secrets of Happiness elucidates the ways people marshal the resources at hand to forge their own forms of joy.
