True love not only does exist but is also found in most romantic relationships. By nature, we all need to love and to be loved during childhood and adult life. Unfortunately, key personality conflicts do not allow many people in relationships to sustain their true love toward each other. Recognizing the red- and green-light scenarios described in this book will help people identify possible (and impossible) situations caused by personality differences. Establishing the proper boundaries is also key for a romantic relationship to succeed. Defining and maintaining the proper boundaries is often a difficult process because of opposite personality differences. This book provides you with a 4-Step Method to help you develop the proper boundaries, with two sets of rules for each party to follow. This book aims to help you improve your relationships of any kind: romantic relationships, parent-child relationships, working relationships, friendships, and so on. This theory should help you more efficiently find the right long-term romantic partner. If you have been married for years but are not very happy with each other, applying Yaping's theory of true love might just change your life. Understanding the theory of true love can enhance your belief in true love and bring more happiness to the people in the world!

Rule of law has vanished in America’s criminal justice system. Prosecutors decide whom to punish; most accused never face a jury; policing is inconsistent; plea bargaining is rampant; and draconian sentencing fills prisons with mostly minority defendants. A leading criminal law scholar looks to history for the roots of these problems—and solutions.

Fifty years after the end of World War II Clive Ponting provides a major reassessment of the most destructive conflict in human history - one in which 85 million people died. Armageddon avoids conventional chronological accounts in order to concentrate on the deeper forces shaping the origins, course and outcome of the war across the globe. It analyses how and why the war spread from being a limited European conflict to the only global war, why countries were dragged into the fighting and how only a small number of neutral states escaped. It compares the two alliances, how they mobilized their resources and their strategies for victory. It avoids a detailed description of how commanders maneuvered on the battlefield and concentrates instead on the impact the war had on individual soldiers, sailors and airmen. Equally important is the fate of hundreds of millions of civilians. How did they survive occupation and what did resistance, collaboration and liberation really involve, and what happened at the end of the war? Armageddon has a truly global sweep, combined with an eye for detail, and provides fascinating comparisons from a multi-faceted war. It contains new facts, asks provocative questions and challenges many of the common assumptions about the war. It is a compelling new inquiry.
