"Pussy Whip" A Guide To Control Your Man's Thoughts, Actions & Deeds


Lanie Stevens - 2013
    You don't need to read and memorize a book that is 200 pages long for it to be effective. You don’t need to dress in sexy lingerie, be a femme fatale or force yourself to love and participate in shooting pool or hunting wild animals to win or keep your man's affection. You don’t need to change who and what you are to attract a man, keep a man or get him to change. ALL you need is this short instructional guide with my “secret technique” to have him eating out of the palm of your hand ANYTIME you want. Unlike most “self help” books that give you a laundry list of ways you can change to “attract” and keep a man this book will give you a technique that is simple, fast and powerful. It is not a “flirting” technique or a kinky “sexual” position…it is an amazing technique that will literally allow you to control your man’s behavior. That’s right…control his behavior and therefore his thoughts, actions and deeds. Anytime you want! I know this sound too good to be true but it is true. I assure you that there is no way you can understand how powerful this technique is until you try it and then you will be amazed at how fast it works. It is truly magic! This “secret technique” is so powerful that I do not want ANY men to ever read this book! If I could prevent men from buying or reading this book I would do it in a heartbeat. There are certain secrets that women should never divulge to men and this is one of the most powerful. I have used this technique for years and have seen it work in a matter of minutes. I used it on my ex-boyfriend John and if it can work on a stubborn, non-believing, narcissist like him it will work on ANY MAN. A friend used it on her boyfriend to get him to tell her the truth and all he kept saying was "I don't know why I am telling you all the things that I am telling you!" He meant it! He had no control over what he was doing because she controlled his actions. I love books like "Why Men Love Bitches" and "The Power of Pussy" but this book will give you a technique that is unique and powerful....a technique you can use any time, any place and on any one. Go ahead, "Pussy Whip" your man and have him love every minute of it! Lanie Stevens is also the author of: Lustful Lanie Book One Lustful Lanie Book Two Lustful Lanie Book Three

Hitting Against the Spin: How Cricket Really Works


Nathan Leamon - 2021
    . . lifts the curtain to reveal the inner workings of international cricket. A must-read for any cricketer, coach or fan' Eoin Morgan'This path-breaking book should be compulsory reading for commentators and captains - and all cricket fans' Mervyn King'Clever and original but also wise' Ed SmithHow valuable is winning the toss? And how should captains use it to their advantage? Why does a cricket ball swing? Why don't Indians bat left-handed? What is a good length and why? Why are leg-spinners so successful in T20 cricket? Why did England win the World Cup? Why do all Test bowlers bowl at either 55 or 85mph? Why don't they pitch it up?All cricketers long to know the answer to these questions and many more. Only fifteen years ago it would have been difficult to answer them - cricket was guided only by decades-old tradition and received wisdom. Data has changed everything. Today we can track every ball to within millimetres; its release point, speed and bounce point are measured as are how much the ball swings, how much it deviates off the pitch, the exact height and line that it passes the stumps, and multiple other variables. Hitting Against the Spin is the story of that data, and what it can tell us about how cricket really works. Leading cricket thinkers Nathan Leamon and Ben Jones lift the lid on international cricket and explain its hidden workings and dynamics - the forces that shape cricket and, in turn, the cricketers who play it. They analyse the unseen hands that determine which players succeed and which fail, which tactics work and which don't, which teams win and which lose. They also explore the new world of franchise cricket as well as the rapid evolution of the T20 format. Revolutionary in its insights, Hitting Against the Spin takes you on a fascinating whistle-stop tour of modern cricket and sports analytics, bringing cricket firmly into the twenty-first century by revealing its long-kept secrets. This is the most important cricket book in decades.

Sinatra's Century: One Hundred Notes on the Man and His World


David Lehman - 2015
    David Lehman uses each of these short pieces to look back on a single facet of the entertainer’s story—from his childhood in Hoboken, to his emergence as “The Voice” in the 1940s, to the wild professional (and romantic) fluctuations that followed. Lehman offers new insights and revisits familiar stories—Sinatra’s dramatic love affairs with some of the most beautiful stars in Hollywood, including Lauren Bacall, Marilyn Monroe, and Ava Gardner; his fall from grace in the late 1940s and resurrection during the “Capitol Years” of the 1950s; his bonds with the rest of the Rat Pack; and his long tenure as the Chairman of the Board, viewed as the eminence grise of popular music inspiring generations of artists, from Bobby Darin to Bono to Bob Dylan.Brimming with Lehman’s own lifelong affection for Sinatra, the book includes lists of unforgettable performances; engaging insight on what made Sinatra the model of American machismo—and the epitome of romance; and clear-eyed assessments of the foibles that impacted his life and work. Warm and enlightening, Sinatra’s Century is full-throated appreciation of Sinatra for every fan.
