Wilhelm Steinitz, the winner of the first official World Chess Championship in 1886, would have rubbed his eyes in disbelieve if he could have seen how popular chess is today.With millions of players all around the world, live internet transmissions of major and minor competitions, and  educational programs in thousands of schools, chess has truly become a global passion. And what would Steinitz, who had financial problems his whole life and died in poverty, have thought of the current world champion, Magnus Carlsen, who became a multi-millionaire in his early twenties just by playing great chess?The history of the World Chess Championship reflects these enormous changes, and Andre Schulz tells the stories of the title fights in fascinating detail: the historical and social backgrounds, the prize money and the rules, the seconds and other helpers, and the psychological wars on and off the board.Relive the magic of Capablanca, Alekhine, Botvinnik, Tal, Karpov, Kasparov, Bobby Fischer and the others!Andre Schulz has selected one defining game from each championship, and he explains the moves of the Champions in a way that is easily accessible for amateur players.This is a book that no true chess lover wants to miss. Andre Schulz  is a respected German chess journalist. He is the editor-in-chief of the ChessBase newssite. Karsten Müller, author of #8216;Bobby Fischer, The Career and Complete Games#8217;: #8220;I like the selection of the games and the explanations are easy to understand and to the point. But the best part is how the story is told, complete with historical backgrounds and lots of anecdotes.#8221; Walter Eigenmann, Glarean Magazin: #8220;A new, entertaining and well-structured chronicle, suitable for all those chess friends who are more interested in real stories than in dry opening theory.#8221; John Watson, The Week in Chess: "I enjoyed the book immensely." Martin Breutigam, Berliner Tagesspiegel: #8220;Chess journalist Andre Schulz#8217;s story covers a lot of ground over a wide period of time and is full of interesting facts and assessments.#8221; Uwe Bekemann, Deutscher Fernschachbund: #8220;Schulz handles his material very well and his style is that of a historiographical narrator.

B.H.Wilders, Nederlands Dagblad: "A splendid book (..) They used to say: this book belongs in your library -- and I am saying that now." Chris Wainscott, ChessIQ: "From Steinitz playing for reduced fees when proper stakes could not be raised by his challengers to the lights going out on Anand and Topalov this book covers historically interesting facts pertaining to the matches. This book also does a good job o f going beyond the matches themselves to get into many of the details regarding the players (..) I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys learning about the history of the royal game and give it five out of five stars." Johan Hut, Noordhollands Dagblad: "A fantastic book." CHESS Magazine (UK): "The 46 matches for the world title have produced much magnificent chess, as well as plenty of off-the-board drama. Schultz succinctly but enjoyably recounts the background to each contest, as well as all the incidents which occurred during it."

Healing Our Children Golden Child Publishing

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

There is a natural way to reduce your risk of birth defects by 1602%, miscarriage by 640%, premature births by 315% and reverse infertility in 78.4% of the cases - and doctors and midwives don't know about it. Utilizing the wisdom of doctors such as Hippocrates, Noble Prize winning Alex Carrel, and author of Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, Dr. Weston Price, Nagel reveals the actual cause of the following diseases: Birth Defects, Sudden Infant Death, Autism, Infertility, Colic, Tooth Decay, Miscarriage, Infant Mortality, Morning sickness, Premature Birth, Scoliosis, Postpartum Depression, and Mental Disabilities. The true cause is our toxic foods, our toxic medicines, our toxic environment, and our toxic world. In knowing this and learning to make wise choices, you become empowered to prevent these conditions. While the current medical paradigm blindly believes that such and such disease will be cured in the future, Nagel reveals how these diseases are largely curable, and completely preventable, today. Healing Our Children includes 44 vivid photographs and 34 lucid illustrations, with easy-to-comprehend text and engaging stories from Nagel's personal life. The real cause of disease is the way we live. And the real cure, the real antidote we have been searching for, lies in not only changing how we live, but in changing who we are and what we've become. Prepare yourself to discover how you can: Significantly reduce the chances of birth complications; Have a well proportioned baby; Have a child with 20/20 or better vision; Have a child who meets or exceeds the intelligence level for his age group; Create a healthy pregnancy; Shorten your recovery time after birth; Substantially reduce your child's risk for every disease; Free your children from the lies, hypocrisy, and propaganda of government agencies and pharmaceutical corporations that promote and create disease; Nurture your child with vital parenting practices that have created healthy and happy children for millennia The parent you are longing to be, and the healthy child you are longing to have, exist as a dormant potential within you. Your magical child is longing to be with you and to live in a fearless world filled with love, health, peace and joy. In Healing Our Children, you will learn how to channel and call forth a wisdom, energy and power much greater than yourself. In the midst of this energy, a magical child will be born whose true colors will shine forth, a child whose spirit is forged in a strong body because her parents ate and gave her the right foods. This child's heart is open and willing, because she has been cared for and nurtured as Nature intended. The very existence and presence of this child will represent a betterment for humanity. About the Author: Ramiel Nagel is the father of two healthy girls, and cares about the health of your child. He revealed to the world the cure for cavities in "Cure Tooth Decay," and now he unveils the clouds of illusion around health and disease, and illuminates the forces of influence around right and wrong ways of parenting. "When one child suffers, the world suffers. When one child cries, the world needs to hear it. When someone is sick, it means we are all sick in some way."
