No Visible Bruises: What We Don?t Know About Domestic Violence Can Kill Us By : Rachel Louise Snyder READ BOOK NOW   DOWNLOAD BOOK NOW   Book Synopsis : In No Visible Bruises, journalist Rachel Louise Snyder frames this urgent and immersive account of the scale of domestic violence in our country around key stories that explode the common myths-that if things were bad enough, victims would just leave; that a violent person cannot become nonviolent; that shelter is an adequate response; that violence inside the home is separate from other forms of violence like mass shootings, gang violence, and sexual assault.

In the Presence of Schopenhauer By : Michel Houellebecq READ BOOK NOW   DOWNLOAD BOOK NOW   Book Synopsis : The work of Michel Houellebecq - one of the most widely read and controversial novelists of our time - is marked by the thought of Schopenhauer.

The Devil and Karl Marx: Communism's Long March of Death, Deception, and Infiltration By : Paul Kengor READ BOOK NOW   DOWNLOAD BOOK NOW   Book Synopsis : Two decades after the publication of The Black Book of Communism, nearly everyone is or at least should be, aware of the immense evil produced by that devilish ideology first hatched when Karl Marx penned his Communist Manifesto two centuries ago.

Not only did the horrific results of Marxism follow directly from Marx?s twisted ideas, but the man himself penned some downright devilish things. Well before Karl Marx was writing about the hell of communism, he was writing about hell. ? ?Thus Heaven I?ve forfeited, I know it full well,? he wrote in a poem in 1837, a decade before his Manifesto. ?My soul, once true to God, is chosen for Hell.?
