Masquerade : The Life and Times of Deborah Sampson, Continental Soldier (0679761853)

In Masquerade, Alfred F. Young scrapes through layers of fiction and myth to uncover the story of Deborah Sampson, a Massachusetts woman who passed as a man and fought as a soldier for seventeen months toward the end of the American Revolution. Deborah Sampson was not the only woman to pose as a male and fight in the war, but she was certainly one of the most successful and celebrated. She managed to fight in combat and earn the respect of her officers and peers, and in later years she toured the country lecturing about her experiences and was partially successful in obtaining veterans' benefits. Her full story, however, was buried underneath exaggeration and myth (some of which she may have created herself), becoming another sort of masquerade. Young takes the reader with him through his painstaking efforts to reveal the real Deborah Sampson in a work of history that is as spellbinding as the best detective fiction. Product details ...

Guide to Modern Cupping Therapy: A Step-by-Step Source for Vacuum Therapy (0778805832)

An ancient technique has found its place in the modern world of healing. In recent years, you've noticed countless high profile athletes and celebrities sporting distinctive circular 'cupping' welts on their bodies - the back and shoulder area being most common. Dating back thousands of years, cupping is a form of alternative medicine. The cups create suction and help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, deep relaxation and can even provide relief for sciatica and sinus congestion. Massage Cupping(TM) body therapy is a modern and modified version of cupping therapy that creates suction and negative pressure through the use of both stationary and moving cups. These cups can be found on pharmacy shelves and they do not use heat unlike traditional glass cupping - making them entirely safe and easy for home use. Shannon Gilmartin is a nationally Certified Massage Cupping & MediCupping Educator. She teaches this wonderfully diverse therapy here and abroad and has witnessed...

A festa do bode (9788579620638)

A festa do Bode é um dos romances mais importantes de Mario Vargas Llosa. Com uma pesquisa histórica rigorosa e uma preocupação flaubertiana pelos detalhes, ele recria uma República Dominicana de meados do século XX para recontar a história do general Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina - o "Bode" - e a implacável ditadura que implantou no país durante seus 31 anos de governo. Ao entrelaçar três histórias - a volta de Urania a Santo Domingo, após 35 anos, para visitar o pai doente; o círculo mais próximo a Trujillo, com suas intrigas e execuções; e um grupo de insurgentes que prepara um atentado ao ditador -, Vargas Llosa relata o fim de uma era e discute a natureza insaciável dos regimes totalitários.
