Brief Summary
Split Second is the first in the gripping King and Maxwell series by bestselling author David Baldacci.
When something distracts Secret Agent Sean King for a split second, it costs him his career and presidential candidate, Clyde Ritter, his life. But what stole his attention? And why was Ritter shot?
Eight years later Michelle Maxwell is on the fast track through the ranks of the Secret Service when her career is stopped short: presidential candidate John Bruno is abducted from a funeral home while under her protection.
The similarity between the two cases drives Michelle to re-open investigations into the Ritter fiasco and join forces with attractive ex-agent King. The pair are determined to get to the bottom of what happened in those critical moments.
Meanwhile, high-ranking members of the legal system and key witnesses from both cases are going missing. King is losing friends, colleagues and clients fast and his ex-lover, Joan Dillinger, is playing curious games – she wants Sean back, but she also owes him for something . . .
Split Second is followed by Hour Game, Simple Genius, First Family, The Sixth Man and King and Maxwell.

In her inspiring first book, YOU WILL OVERCOME! An exceptional Story of Determination Conquering All, Purity Museo shares a personal story of resilience and life without limitations. This book will help readers believe bigger and not be guided by their backgrounds. Museo’s inspiring message focuses mainly on: Daring to Take Risks, Staying on Course, getting out of your comfort zone and believing bigger.
YOU WILL OVERCOME challenges readers not to give you on their dreams and ambitions. To trust the process, put in the hard work and be ready for VICTORY. It is based on true story and experiences.
John 1:5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
This book‘s title is inspired by my personal journey. I look at my story as that of From Grass to Grace. I lost my mom, who was raising us single-handedly in 2009. My twin and I were only 17 years old. I was in form 3. There was no hope left for me. My mom was the only family‘s bread winner then. I was sure I was going to join the list of girls in our area that had dropped out of school for lack of school fees.
Who was going to pay my school fees? At that time, boys were given priority when it came to matters education. I knew if there was going to be any opportunity to continue with studies, it was going to favor my brother. A few relatives were already helping me secure a job as a house girl in the city. I was left with my grandparents who also depended on my mom.
All this was understandable. I had completed my form three exams when mom died. My dream of joining University was almost coming to pass. I had one more academic year left before i could join University. It was my dream to become a Television News Anchor and from the little research I had done, one needed to pursue a course in Journalism at a University level before appearing on TV.
I asked God a lot of Questions when mom died. Why had He taken away our only hope? Must all people in our family be born and die poor! No one had pursued education up to university level in our family. Bitterness had taken control of me. I was angry with God. Why did He have to choose my family to be poor! I hated village life. I hated the things I saw there. I hated seeing girls being married off and their dreams shuttered. I wanted to change the story of my family and that of our village.
I knew that was only going to be possible through education. I was among few girls in our village who had successfully joined high school. Majority either got pregnant before or after finishing primary education while others were married off as soon as they cleared primary school. It was not a big deal then. It was an achievement for any family to have their daughter finish their primary education and get married. However, a few parents had chosen a different path. My mom was among them. She was determined to ensure I achieved my dreams. She did not get the opportunity to proceed beyond primary level.
And now, my dream was now being shuttered. Part of the reason I worked hard in school was to make my mom proud and happy. I had to come to terms with the fact that mom had gone to be with the Lord. I decided to drop the ̳mama‘s girl tag and have a more fighting spirit. Being a last born, I was my mom‘s favorite baby. I would get what I want when I needed it.
Though we lived far from each other, she always got in touch. She lived in Mombasa where she worked as we stayed in the village with our grandparents. The journey has been the toughest since she died, but ooh thanks be to God I am here today. I refer to my story as An Exceptional Story of Determination Conquering All. Hope it will inspire, change your life‘s perspective and above help you get to your destiny. I am not where I want to be yet, but what the Lord began in me, He will surely accomplish it. I am only getting started.

Courting Courage: A Story of Resilience and unwavering determination in pursuit of Justice By Chief Justice Martha Koome
For the New Intellectual: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand by Ayn Rand
This is Ayn Rand's challenge to the prevalent philosophical doctrines of our time and the "atmosphere of guilt, of panic, of despair, of boredom, and of all-pervasive evasion" that they create.
One of the most controversial figures on the intellectual scene, Ayn Rand was the proponent of a moral philosophy - an ethic of rational self-interest - that stands in sharp opposition of the ethics of altruism and self-sacrifice.
The fundamentals of this morality - "a philosophy for living on earth" - are here vibrantly set forth by the spokesman for a new class, "For the New Intellectual."
Nairobi The City That Calls Your Name 5453 FT by Susan Wakhungu-Githuku and Natalie Githuku
Books, African Interest, Business, Dictionaries & References, Entrepreneurs, History, Home & Living, International Bestsellers
THE CITY THAT CALLS YOUR NAME
There is something about Nairobi, the large and fast expanding East African city of cities that gets under the skin of even the most skeptical. What is it about this incongruous metropolis of diverse cultures, tribes, people, of new and old buildings, the clean and the shoddy, the unending traffic amidst the green parks of Uhuru Highway that beckons and lingers within? A city once known as the place of cool waters that now often bakes in the sun, a city that grew out of a Railway outpost, a city that unashamedly holds the largest slum in Africa and yet boasts an ever expanding modern skyline! The double volume of Photographic Slices and Personal Musings, compiled by mother and daughter Susan Wakhungu-Githuku & Natalie Githuku, is a first-of-a-kind and beautifully pays homage to this fascinating ‘city that calls your name’.
Nairobi is packaged in two volumes (Vol 1: Photographic Slices and Vol. 2: Personal Musings).

Why Nations Fail by Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson
Brilliant and engagingly written, Why Nations Fail answers the question that has stumped the experts for centuries: Why are some nations rich and others poor, divided by wealth and poverty, health and sickness, food and famine? Is it culture, the weather, geography?
Perhaps ignorance of what the right policies are? Simply, no. None of these factors is either definitive or destiny. Otherwise, how to explain why Botswana has become one of the fastest growing countries in the world, while other African nations, such as Zimbabwe, the Congo, and Sierra Leone, are mired in poverty and violence?
Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson conclusively show that it is man-made political and economic institutions that underlie economic success (or lack of it). Korea, to take just one of their fascinating examples, is a remarkably homogeneous nation, yet the people of North Korea are among the poorest on earth while their brothers and sisters in South Korea are among the richest. The south forged a society that created incentives, rewarded innovation, and allowed everyone to participate in economic opportunities.
The economic success thus spurred was sustained because the government became accountable and responsive to citizens and the great mass of people. Sadly, the people of the north have endured decades of famine, political repression, and very different economic institutions—with no end in sight. The differences between the Koreas is due to the politics that created these completely different institutional trajectories.
Based on fifteen years of original research Acemoglu and Robinson marshall extraordinary historical evidence from the Roman Empire, the Mayan city-states, medieval Venice, the Soviet Union, Latin America, England, Europe, the United States, and Africa to build a new theory of political economy with great relevance for the big questions of today, including: - China has built an authoritarian growth machine.
Will it continue to grow at such high speed and overwhelm the West? - Are America’s best days behind it? Are we moving from a virtuous circle in which efforts by elites to aggrandize power are resisted to a vicious one that enriches and empowers a small minority? - What is the most effective way to help move billions of people from the rut of poverty to prosperity?
More philanthropy from the wealthy nations of the West? Or learning the hard-won lessons of Acemoglu and Robinson’s breakthrough ideas on the interplay between inclusive political and economic institutions? Why Nations Fail will change the way you look at—and understand—the world."
