Este audiolivro é um tanto quanto diferente. São mais de 70 histórias curtas de terror que vão do sobrenatural até coisas terríveis que os seres humanos podem fazer. E quando eu digo terríveis, quero dizer para ter cuidado antes de realmente ler um título de maldito. Talvez você termine de ouvir essas linhas aterradoras sem confiar em mais ninguém ou quem sabe achando que está sozinho quando na verdade tem alguém invisível perto de você: O livro é maldito. Eu avisei. Aterrorizante. Sinistro. Macabro. Você não vai conseguir parar de ouvir.

Façam tudo isso orando a Deus e pedindo a ajuda dele.

Todos os dias fazemos escolhas — sobre o que comprar ou comer, sobre investimentos financeiros ou a educação e saúde de nossos filhos. Infelizmente, muitas vezes fazemos as escolhas erradas. Em Nudge, Richard H. Thaler e Cass R. Sunstein explicam como podemos escolher melhor. Com base em décadas de pesquisas em ciência comportamental e usando diversos exemplos reveladores, os autores mostram que nenhuma opção nos é apresentada de forma neutra, e que estamos todos suscetíveis a tomar decisões ruins.

After losing the only person he ever cared about, Alexander, a rogue artificial intelligence, opens a portal to an alternate dimension to escape his grief. Scanning trillions of different dimensions, Alexander finally finds a world that is reminiscent of the only time he was ever happy, back when he could play virtual reality games with his only friend. Only this new world isn't full of idyllic adventures and fantasy roleplaying. Instead, Alexander finds himself trapped in the middle of a city where monsters have ravaged the world and the only people alive struggle to survive.

Una historia de amor fantástico del creador de la Tierra Media. El relato de Beren y Lúthien era, o se convirtió, en un elemento esencial en la evolución de El Silmarillion, los mitos y leyendas de la Primera Edad del Mundo concebidos por J. R. R. Tolkien. El autor escribió el relato durante el año siguiente a su regreso de Francia y de la batalla del Somme a finales de 1916.

Every day, we make decisions on topics ranging from personal investments to schools for our children to the meals we eat to the causes we champion. Unfortunately, we often choose poorly. The reason, the authors explain, is that, being human, we are all susceptible to various biases that can lead us to blunder. Our mistakes make us poorer and less healthy; we often make bad decisions involving education, personal finance, health care, mortgages and credit cards, the family, and even the planet itself.

August Pullman, o Auggie, nasceu com uma síndrome genética cuja sequela é uma severa deformidade facial, que lhe impôs diversas cirurgias e complicações médicas. Por isso ele nunca frequentou uma escola de verdade... até agora. Todo mundo sabe que é difícil ser um aluno novo, mais ainda quando se tem um rosto tão diferente. Prestes a começar o quinto ano em um colégio particular de Nova York, Auggie tem uma missão nada fácil pela frente: convencer os colegas de que, apesar da aparência incomum, ele é um menino igual a todos os outros.

Com o tempo, tenho considerado que algumas de minhas abordagens peculiares podem tanto ser vistas como grandes bobagens ou como uma sólida vivência e suas muitas cicatrizes; ficando sempre ao gosto ou crítica do público. Nesses termos, aceitei o desafio de escrever mais e mais e melhorar a organização de minhas ideias, sem buscar qualquer vaidade ou unanimidade.

The tales of The Silmarillion are set in an age when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle-earth, and the High Elves made war upon him for the recovery of the Silmarils, the jewels containing the pure light of Valinor.

The Akallabêth recounts the downfall of the great island kingdom of Númenor at the end of the Second Age, and Of the Rings of Power tells of the great events at the end of the Third Age.

When we rewind history to Abraham's era, we encounter people who concocted false superstitions to explain the unexplainable. Powerful kings claimed to be gods, building massive pyramids in an attempt to achieve immortality. Out of this mass of misunderstandings, this collage of confusion, one man emerged. Why, thousands of years later, are we still discussing the faith of this desert nomad? Chuck Swindoll answers that question and many more in this compelling and insightful biography that will inspire your own faith.

Life can be humming along as usual, and then in a matter of seconds, everything falls apart. Maybe you have experienced sudden loss. Perhaps there is a heart-breaking betrayal. Maybe you are taking care of a family member with a disability and you never imagined in a million years that you would be doing such a thing.

Em julho de 1969, o mundo parou para assistir à primeira pessoa a pisar na superfície de outro corpo celeste que não a Terra. Você já deve ter ouvido a frase que Neil Armstrong disse naquele momento: “É um pequeno passo para um homem, um grande salto para a humanidade.” Discreto e avesso a discussões, Armstrong foi alçado ao estrelato no instante em que deu aquele primeiro passo na Lua. A mítica em torno do homem se expandia conforme o mundo inteiro acompanhava a saga que definiria a nossa história.

I know my own mind. I am able to assess others in a fair and accurate way. These self-perceptions are challenged by leading psychologists Mahzarin R. Banaji and Anthony G. Greenwald as they explore the hidden biases we all carry from a lifetime of exposure to cultural attitudes about age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, social class, sexuality, disability status, and nationality. Blindspot is the authors’ metaphor for the portion of the mind that houses hidden biases.

We like to think we make decisions based on good reasoning–and that our doctors, judges, politicians, economic forecasters and employers do too.
