But when an accidental mix-up lands her on the doorstep of Jack Thomas's gorgeous Brooklyn brownstone, it's too bad Sadie is more attracted to the impressive real estate than she is to the man himself.

It is getting dark over the mountain lake; the passing winter freezes the quiet northern land.

Edsgar bids farewell to Erik, the lovely Valkyries take on the spirit of the warrior, and he flies with them to the gates of Valhalla to take ... |

Новата наука за това как да стареем, без да остаряваме. През 1960 г. броят на хората на възраст над 100 години е 20 хиляди. Днес е половин милион, а до 2050 г. се предвижда да стане 3 милиона, или нарастване от 150 пъти за по-малко от век. Дълго време стареенето е било възприемано като неизбежен и необратим процес, факт от живота, срещу който не можем да направим много. Болести, свързани с остаряването, са били лекувани поотделно, без да се мисли за това дали няма някаква обща причина за всички тях, някакъв ключ, който може да бъде изключен, за да се спре самият процес на стареене. Биологът и физик д-р Андрю Стийл, ... |

And not the "Millie Moods", the feelings of intense emotion that threaten to overwhelm, always at maddeningly inconvenient times. Millie needs an ally. And when a left-open browser brings Millie to her dad's embarrassingly moody LiveJournal from 2003, Millie knows just what to do. She& ... |

А може би и някои, които не обичате. Как да подходите към големите проблеми в живота и как да станете по-щастлив и по-мъдър човек."Тази книга е едно обобщение на многото отговори на въпросите, с които хората са се обръщали към мен през годините, на работата ми като терапевт и автор на рубрика за съвети, на беседи и събития, както и на ежедневното общуване. Обичам въпросите ви, защото от тях научавам за пропуските на хората.
