A veteran political analyst and a renowned New Yorker illustrator celebrate Barack Obama’s achievements in a compendium that takes his critics head-on. Barack Obama’s election in 2008 was a watershed moment in American history that inspired supporters on the Left—and fired up enemies on the Right. Elected in the midst of multiple crises—a Wall Street meltdown that imperiled the global economy and American troops entangled in two foreign wars—Obama’s presidency promised to be one of the most consequential in modern American history. Although he stabilized the economy and restored America’s prestige on the global stage, President Obama has been denied the credit he deserves, rece...
Understanding Relationships is a book about the role of relationships in our lives, at this time. It looks at relationship from the angle of the individuals involved, and at what relationship is trying to achieve for them in developmental terms; from that of the individuals in relationship and what they represent to each other; and from that of the relationship which they make, and at what it can make possible. This book, which is written by a practicing astrologer, deals with the matter of how to find the Relating Self in a natal chart, and looks at the techniques of Synastry and Compository. It is recommended for practitioners and students with a working knowledge of horoscopy.

Hud Hudson presents an innovative view of the metaphysics of human persons according to which human persons are material objects but not human organisms. In developing his account, he formulates and defends a unique collection of positions on parthood, persistence, vagueness, composition, identity, and various puzzles of material constitution.The author also applies his materialist metaphysics to issues in ethics and in the philosophy of religion. He examines the implications for ethics of his metaphysical views for standard arguments addressing the moral permissibility of our treatment of human persons and their parts, fetuses and infants, the irreversibly comatose, and corpses. He argues that his metaphysics provides the best foundation in the philosophy of religion for the Christian doctrine of the resurrection of the body.Hudson addresses a broad range of metaphysical issues, but among his most strikingly original contributions are his defense of the "Partist" view (according to which a material object can exactly occupy multiple, overlapping regions of spacetime) and his argument for the compatibility of Christianity with a materialistic theory of human persons.

A soul with the willpower to possess an entire planet, reality and system, between extraordinary beings with peculiar features called the Venxes.

But despite his failure, he had been unintentionally increasing her desire to...

Welcome to the world of elite swimming with all its competitiveness and comradery—and sometimes much, much more. It’s here that American swimming star Angie Thompson and Australian prodigy Hannah Clark—both the youngest on their respective teams—form a fast friendship that grows into something much deeper. As they train for the Olympics, the long-distance sweethearts exchange loving letters and lengthy phone calls—until Angie suddenly and unexpectedly severs their relationship, leaving Hannah confused and devastated. Years later, as Hannah trains for a comeback at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, she is stunned to learn that Angie has been hired by the Australian coaching team. Although Hannah is still crushed by what happened all those years ago, the two athletes slowly form a tentative bond and get to know each other again—this time as adults. Soon neither can ignore the intense attraction they still feel, now propelled to a higher level by a steamy kiss in a hotel swimming pool. Is it possible for them to win each other’s love…or are they just treading water?
