This simple tale of a boy and his kite reveals a profound truth for all generations - There is always more to the story. ... When The Boy, the Kite, and the Wind becomes profitable, 100% of the net profits will go to support a number of pre-selected projects around the world that help men, women and children to take flight. They include education and food programs, medical care, development projects, mentoring programs, AIDS education and prevention, orphan care, clean water projects, and more. As the projects are funded, they'll be published on the Improbable Philanthropy website so that you can see what you've been a part of with the purchase of the book. This, however, is only a beginning. Perhaps you can add on to what we've already started!

On the Sixth Day God created Man. On the Seventh Day He rested.Then all Hell broke loose.Lucifer has seen the creation of humanity and he is afraid. Will the angels be cast out of Heaven in favor of God's new creation? They have built a mighty kingdom in the Lower Realm but the Prophecy of the Dragon looms as a storm on the horizon. Lucifer would sooner upset the balance of power than allow the angelic host to be cast out. Can his younger brother, Michael, maintain his faith and conquer his fear? Can he hold fast to his choir of warrior cherubim in the face of angelic heresy? Can their youngest sibling, Gabriel, overcome his desire to protect his choir of seraphim at all costs?Who will stay loyal to the White Throne and who will follow Lucifer on his quest for the Phoenix Empyrean? Though the angelic host has trained for millennia to defeat the Dragon, nothing can prepare them for the maelstrom their Morning Star is fomenting in the shadowy nadir of his luminous heart. Saints will sour to villains. A kingdom will come under siege. But amidst a Heavenly Realm torn by war, the Sons of God will find their faith.Seen as a revelation through the eyes of Archangel Gabriel's last prophet, Heavenly Realms: Empyrean Falling is an epic romance of faith and hope, love and fear. It is a recounting of the war that is neither fact nor fiction, but a myth that can make a believer out of anyone....

The big old blue house had always pulled Oliver like a magnet. After all, he was a ten-year-old boy who loved nothing more than a good adventure. The house stood all alone with no other houses close by, and the yard was overgrown with brambles and weeds. “Come on, Alicia! Let’s go in here!” Oliver shouted to his eight-year-old sister. “This is not a nice place, Oliver,” she said, walking up to join him. “Why do we have to go in there?” The Secret of the Haunted House is the third book in Jonathan Andrews’ The Adventures of Oliver series. Each book is an independent story, and the books can be read in any order.

Half of all Americans have money in the stock market, yet economists can't agree on whether investors and markets are rational and efficient, as modern financial theory assumes, or irrational and inefficient, as behavioral economists believe-and as financial bubbles, crashes, and crises suggest. This is one of the biggest debates in economics, and the value or futility of investment management and financial regulation hang on the outcome. In this groundbreaking book, Andrew W. Lo cuts through this debate with a new framework, the Adaptive Markets Hypothesis, in which rationality and irrationality coexist.Drawing on psychology, evolutionary biology, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and other fields, Adaptive Markets shows that the theory of market efficiency isn't wrong but merely incomplete. When markets are unstable, investors react instinctively, creating inefficiencies for others to exploit. Lo's new paradigm explains how financial evolution shapes behavior and markets at the speed of thought-a fact revealed by swings between stability and crisis, profit and loss, and innovation and regulation.
