From the Foreword.In 1949, while I was visiting Ezra Pound who was a political prisoner at St. Elizabeth's Hospital, Washington, D.C. (a Federal institution for the insane), Dr. Pound asked me if I had ever heard of the Federal Reserve System. I replied that I had not, as of the age of 25. He then showed me a ten dollar bill marked ""Federal Reserve Note"" and asked me if I would do some research at the Library of Congress on the Federal Reserve System which had issued this bill. Pound was unable to go to the Library himself, as he was being held without trial as a political prisoner by the United States government. After he was denied broadcasting time in the U.S., Dr. Pound broadcast from Italy in an effort to persuade people of the United States not to enter World War II. Franklin D. Roosevelt had personally ordered Pound's indictment, spurred by the demands of his three personal assistants, Harry Dexter White, Lauchlin Currie, and Alger Hiss, all connected with Communist espionage.
This superb book contains every address ever delivered by a newly elected or reelected President of the United States of America.Taken as a whole, this collection offers a comprehensive history of leadership in the USA, as well as a catalog of major challenges and milestones in the country's history. The journey of the USA from its hard-won independence to its prominence as global superpower was long and arduous; as these addresses make clear, this is a nation tested time and again by war, disaster, hardship. The inaugural addresses often refer to the political climate and events ensuing in their time, and the aspirations of each President. We witness in these speeches George Washington introducing the new country to the world, Abraham Lincoln grappling with the Civil War that divided the nation, Franklin D. Roosevelt tackling first the Great Depression and then the horrors of war. Throughout, we hear of crises encountered and overcome; of victories hard fought; of a people steadfast and determined.
St. Francis of Sales, the Bishop of Geneva, wrote these letters of spiritual encouragement to his cousin Madame Marie de Charmoisy, whom he addressed as Philothea (The Lover of God).This superb classic is useful both as a spiritual guide for Christians in the modern day, and as a historical account of how monastic orders operated during the late Renaissance period. We hear of how St. Francis developed and honed his affinity to God through reading the spiritual texts, praying daily, developing virtues and resisting the many temptations of life.The letters are wide-ranging; lessons on the immortality of the soul; instructions upon how to live in a moral and upstanding way; avoiding and defeating dalliances and temptations; best practices one can undertake before, during and after prayer time; and various meditations upon the divine are comprise a few of the topics St. Francis discusses. As their wise correspondence was regular, a monastic colleague of St. Francis suggested that it be published.
"New Year = A New Life! Decide today who you will become, what you will give how you will live." - Tony Robbins "Leaders spend 5% of their time on the problem & 95% of their time on the solution. Get over it & crush it!" - Tony Robbins "One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular." - Tony Robbins "The only problem we really have is we think we're not supposed to have problems! Problems call us to higher level- - face & solve them now!" - Tony Robbins

Donald V. "Doc" Tebbe rolled into the town of Fort Recovery, Ohio, in June 1962 ready to get work as a veterinarian. More than fifty years later, he's still practicing his craft. It's a career he knew he'd embark on as a young boy, when his prized cow, Shirley, suffered complications while giving birth. He watched on in horror from a hay chute as the veterinarian, Dr. Steinke, began cutting off the calf's legs, head, and ribs, yelling to no one in particular, "I hate to do this, but it's our only chance to save the cow." Both the cow and the calf died, and it broke Tebbe's heart. That day, he vowed to become a better veterinarian than Dr. Steinke to make up for what he did to his Shirley. Tebbe has since had colossal failures that have made him realize how bad Dr. Steinke must have felt that day he failed. For instance, on his very first day of work, he accidentally killed a cat. Join a small-town veterinarian on some very big adventures in 50 Years a Veterinarian.
Development Hell: The NXT Story, penned by former Power Slam scribe and WhatCulture.com's own Michael Sidgwick, chronicles the history of WWE's NXT brand. NXT has drew universal critical acclaim for its fan service fusion of old-school booking philosophies and progressive body of in-ring work - but the road to critical acclaim was arduous. When WWE destroyed its territorial and mainstream competition, the monolith had also annihilated the talent pool. Replenishing it was an unenviable task made all the more difficult by a blasé and counterproductive attitude and a curiously myopic direction. All of which is documented in a book covering the inauspicious beginnings of the dusty Stamford Farm warehouse and the murmurings of Memphis Power Pro, the halcyon days of Ohio Valley Wrestling, the infamous disaster of Deep South Wrestling and the literal lunacy that was Florida Championship Wrestling. The roots of the triumph that was NXT were toxic...
