If you want to discover the captivating history of the Vandals, then keep reading...In the modern world, when one imagines a vandal, it's often a youth with a covered face drawing graffiti on a wall of a public building. And the act of deliberate defacement, destruction, or damage to public or private property is known as vandalism. This idea became an integral part of world culture with most people using it without knowing that this word is linked to an ancient Germanic tribe called the Vandals. The small number of people that are aware of this link often envision these Vandals as outright barbarians who pillaged and burned, killed and destroyed. They were the antithesis of civilized and cultured life. That image has been engraved in our collective consciousness by centuries of historical propaganda. This was possible because the Vandals didn't leave us any histories written by themselves. Thus, most of the ancient sources on their past were written by their enemies and adversaries, who didn't look too kindly on them. This is especially true for later historians who idealized ancient Rome and blamed the Vandals for its fall. But the question is, how much of it is true? This book is aimed to answer that question. Were the Vandals really so wild, and were they worse than any other tribe in Europe at that time? It will also present the society and culture of this tribe in an attempt to not only shed light on their reputation in history but to also give their side of the story as the stereotypical bad guys. In essence, this guide will try to give some voice to the voiceless Vandals. Hopefully by the end of it, you will leave with your own picture of who those barbarians were.In The Vandals: A Captivating Guide to the Barbarians That Conquered the Roman Empire During the Transitional Period from Late Antiquity to the Early Middle Ages, you will discover topics such asOrigins of the VandalsFrom the Danube to AfricaRise of the Vandal KingdomDownfall of the VandalsVandal SocietyReligion, Culture, and the VandalsAnd much, much more!So if you want to learn more about The Vandals, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!

Originally published in 1906 as a portion of the author’s larger “Catholic Churchmen in Science,” this Kindle edition, equivalent in length to a physical book of approximately 16 pages, tells the story of the nineteenth century Augustinian monk who discovered the laws of genetics by systematically breeding peas.Includes supplemental material:•A Brief Summary of the Life of Gregor Mendel•About Mendel’s Law in BriefSample passage:Mendel’s discoveries with regard to peas and the influence of heredity on them were founded on very simple, but very interesting, observations. He found that if peas of different colors were taken, that is to say, if, for instance, yellow-colored peas were crossed with green, the resulting pea seeds were, in the great majority of cases, of yellow color. If the yellow-colored peas obtained from such crossing were planted and allowed to be fertilized only by pollen from plants raised from similar seeds, the succeeding generation, however, did not give all yellow peas, but a definite number of yellow and a definite number of green. In other words, while there might have been expected a permanence of the yellow color, there was really a reversion in a number of the plants apparently to the type of the grandparent.About the author:James J. Walsh (1865–1942) was an American physician and author. Other works include “The Popes and Science,” “The Thirteenth, Greatest of Centuries,” and “The Century of Columbus.”

Once upon a time, after the winter festival, the Queen realized she was bored and rather depressed. Looking at her ladies-in-waiting, she asked if anyone could think of something interesting to do. Most suggested the same old things, but one woman remembered that long ago the Queen had mentioned doing an inventory of the castle. "Now is the time," cried the Queen with delight. -From "The Queen's Cloak"In The Queen's Cloak, Engelsman provides us with an entry point into our own life's unfolding. Using the timeless form of the fairy tale, she draws you out of the everyday world and into the archetypal realm of eternal human patterns, where new perspectives await. Engelsman offers respectful and helpful counsel in her commentary but always leaves room for your own response to emerge. Those who wrap themselves in The Queen's Cloak will find the experience to be a challenging opportunity to reappraise and reweave the threads of their own ways of living. -Peter MuddThis original fairy tale about a queen who weaves herself a magic cloak draws the reader in through the use of traditional fairy-tale surroundings and provides a pointed metaphor for the struggles many women encounter in mid-life. A discussion which helps to establish a model for self-healing follows.Dr. Englesman is a well-known author and lecturer in the field of psychology and spirituality. She is an adjunct faculty member oat Drew University and is a noted consultant on family violence. She is the author of The Feminine Dimension of the Divine.

Originally published in 1903, “The Bar Sinister” is the story of a bull-terrier street dog named Kid who comes out on top. It was the basis of the 1955 film “It’s a Dog’s Life.”Sample passage:The Master was walking most unsteady, his legs tripping each other. After the fifth or sixth round, my legs often go the same way. But even when the Master’s legs bend and twist a bit, you mustn’t think he can’t reach you. Indeed, that is the time he kicks most frequent. So I kept behind him in the shadow, or ran in the middle of the street. He stopped at many public-houses with swinging doors, those doors that are cut so high from the sidewalk that you can look in under them, and see if the Master is inside. At night when I peep beneath them the man at the counter will see me first and say, “Here’s the Kid, Jerry, come to take you home. Get a move on you,” and the Master will stumble out and follow me. It’s lucky for us I’m so white, for no matter how dark the night, he can always see me ahead, just out of reach of his boot. At night the Master certainly does see most amazing. Sometimes he sees two or four of me, and walks in a circle, so that I have to take him by the leg of his trousers and lead him into the right road. One night, when he was very nasty-tempered and I was coaxing him along, two men passed us and one of them says, “Look at that brute!” and the other asks “Which?” and they both laugh. The Master, he cursed them good and proper.About the author:Richard Harding Davis (1884-1916) was an American journalist, war correspondent, and author. Other works include “Soldiers of Fortune,” “The Man Who Could Not Lose,” and “The Messengers.”

It is no secret that prayers get answered when we pray according to the will of God. We know that it is not God's will for us to be alone because in Genesis he stated so, and soon after created Eve. So if we desire a mate and it is clearly God's will for us to have a mate, why do so many go through life and never find the person of their dreams? In Gerald Dean's first book "How to Pray...And Get Prayers Answered!", we learned how to develop a deep and intimate prayer life with God where we could stand in faith and believe him for anything. In his second book "Find, Meet, And Marry the Person of Your Dreams" Gerald invites you to take an adventure with Christ as you go through the process of praying for the person of your dreams, writing the vision down making it clear, dodging counterfeit mates, putting action behind your words and stepping out in faith until the promise of God is manifested and you Find (Identify what you are looking for), Meet (The courtship process), and Marry (The life long commitment) the person of your dreams.

Originally published in “Encyclopedia Americana” (1836 edition), this Kindle edition, equivalent in length to a physical book of approximately 20 pages, tells the story of South American patriot and statesman Simon Bolivar (known as “The Liberator”) who succeeded in driving the Spanish from Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador.Sample passage:Meanwhile, Bolivar obtained authentic intelligence of the horrid and shameless cruelties and oppressions everywhere perpetrated in Venezuela by Monteverde and his subordinate officers, analogous to the butcheries of Fiscar. Exasperated by the knowledge of these events, he issued the famous decree of “guerra a muerte” [war to the death], condemning to death all the Spanish prisoners who might fall into his hands. But he is not of a cruel or sanguinary temper; and this decree seems to have been intended rather to intimidate the royalists than literally to be put in execution.
