Beautiful, lackluster packaging protection I really liked the art direction of the game, so I bought this book. The art inside the book are absolutely gorgeous. There's also a lot of content (400 pages).However the ship packaging truly sucked, because of how heavy the book is, the book got a huge dent in the corner during the shipping.It's well worth the price but I really hope amazon would wrap this book properly to prevent such damage on it.Amazon has the worst packaging for books of all the online book retailers I purchased this book for my son who is a Nintendo fanatic and loves the Zelda: BoTW game. Upon receiving the book I noticed and could feel it moving around in the box a lot. When i opened the box I immediately noticed the damage(see pics). If I did not care that the book would get damaged or would show wear after some use then I would have purchased a Prima Games brand but I purchased this specific book because it is an official Nintendo product(published by Dark Horse Comics) and my son collects official Nintendo products. Amazon packed this book, which is quite heavy, in an oversize box with no padding material, which let the book slide around and bang against the inside walls off the box during shipping. There is damage to the corner on the front cover, and the front cover is bowed and does not sit flat when held closed. I am completely disappointed how Amazon packages there books. This is the second book I have purchased in two weeks that I have received with damage to the corners. I will be requesting a replacement or I WILL BE RETURNING FOR A REFUND.For the book itself:I personally own a couple of illustrated game books and considered them high quality. My sons has more game books but are mostly Prima Games brand and used for game walk-throughs. I have never seen the type of quality in a book that I experienced with this Zelda book. I was stunned on the initial flip-through. I had expected the book to be stiff and the pages to flip back if I did not hold them down but was amazed at how the pages would naturally lay without holding them down. That being said, the pages are quite thick; much thicker than everyday printer paper. You can feel the quality as you flip through the pages. The book has a lot of full pages of quality art work of images you will not see anywhere else. Some images start as colorless broken down sketches and develop into full color images of a character. Quite nice if you are into sketching. There are a lot of "Developer's Notes" throughout the book that offer details about the character, location, or item being presented on the page. Measured with a tape measure, the book is 9.3125 x 12.25 x 1.5625(Width x Height x Thick) and seems to weigh a little more than a 5lb dumbell that I used for comparison.I am very happy with the purchase of this book. I am glad I did not settle for any other brand. However, I am not happy with Amazon's packaging. The 5-star rating reflects how I feel about the book itself.Gorgeous, but shipped with insufficient protection. The book is absolutely gorgeous. The design and pages are very well done, and the content is interesting. I am upset that it was shipped with no padding for the corners, so the corners and spine got bent, and when I opened it, the spine ripped open. For a collector, or anyone who expects a book to not break when you open it, this is hugely disappointing. It might point to quality flaws with the structure and durability of the spine.

Title: Defending Everly (Mountain Mercenaries Book 5) Pdf

The stakes are personal, hot, and dangerous in New York Times bestselling author Susan Stoker’s riveting Mountain Mercenaries novel.

As tough as Everly Adams may be, the Colorado Springs SWAT officer is near a breaking point. Her fifteen-year-old half sister, Elise, has disappeared from Los Angeles without a trace, and the window to find her is closing fast. Committed to the search is Mountain Mercenary Kannon “Ball” Black. He and Everly already have a history—of rubbing each other the wrong way.

Still, Everly has to admit the man is heart-stopping. His brash alpha swagger takes her breath away. And most importantly, as a former Coast Guard first responder, Ball has what it takes to bring Elise home.

Nobody’s buying the LAPD’s “runaway” theory. And the fear that Elise is the victim of a human trafficking ring is a gut-punch that Everly and Ball can’t ignore. If only the trail were that clear cut. Because the one they’re following is more insidious and intimately dark than they could have imagined.

Now as the bond between Everly and Ball grows stronger, so does the heat. And as the stakes rise, so does the danger.

Devil's Cry Free Pdf

ISBN: B07X5VPBGX
Title: Devil's Cry Pdf Shade of Devil Book 2

The greatest trick the First Vampire ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn’t exist.

If you enjoyed the Blade or Underworld movies, you will love the Shade of Devil series.

Before the now-infamous Count Dracula ever tasted his first drop of blood, Sorin Ambrogio owned the night. Humanity fearfully called him the Devil.

Cursed by the gods, Sorin spent centuries bathing Europe in oceans of blood with his best friends, Lucian and Nero, the world’s first Werewolf and Warlock—an unholy trinity if there ever was one. Until the three monsters grew weary of the carnage, choosing to leave it all behind and visit the brave New World across the ocean. As they befriended a Native American tribe, they quickly forgot that monsters can never escape their past.

But Dracula—Sorin’s spawn—was willing to do anything to erase Sorin’s name from the pages of history so that he could claim the title of the world’s first vampire all for himself. Dracula hunts him down and slaughters the natives, fatally wounding Sorin in the attack. Except a Shaman manages to secretly cast Sorin into a healing slumber.

For five hundred years.

Until Sorin is awoken by a powerful Shaman in present-day New York City. In a world he doesn’t understand, Sorin only wants one thing—to kill Dracula and anyone else who stands in his path. When the descendant of an infamous vampire hunter steps into his life, Sorin is torn between conflicting feelings in his heart—revenge or love. But to a woman like Victoria Helsing, it might just be considered a bloody good date.

The streets of New York City will flow with rivers of blood, and the fate of the world rests in the hands of the Devil, Sorin Ambrogio.

Because this town isn’t big enough for the both of them.

I received an advanced reader copy free and have voluntarily chosen to leave an honest review.New York Will Never Be The Same! Shayne Silvers leap into the world of vampires continues with Devils Cry. It is an action packed ( vertically and horizontally) story of Sorin, the original vampire, continued quest to vanquish Dracula his errant vampiric son. Shayne has done an amazing job highlighting Sorins confusion over 21 st century language and tech added to a wonder of navigating NYC. Sorin’s choice of allies in his fight and their little quirks will bring you to tears of laughter. It is the second installment in the series which I hope continues for a very long while.So grab a glass of red wine, sit back and enjoy the ride.The heat is on...in sooo many ways! Ermagerrrd! This second story about Sorin is sure to please (in more ways than one)! Since he cannot get to Dracula, Sorin has devised a rather unconventional plan to bring Dracula to him. Before he can do that, he has to survive attacks from Dracula's children, witches, and a few surprise foes. With the help of powerful friends and new allies, can Sorin finally rid the world of Dracula?

William Howard Taft Download

ISBN: 0805069542
Title: William Howard Taft Pdf The American Presidents Series
Author: Jeffrey Rosen
Published Date: 2018-03-20
Page: 208

Jeffrey Rosen is the author of several books, including Louis D. Brandeis: American Prophet. He is the president and CEO of the National Constitution Center, a law professor at George Washington University, and a contributing editor for The Atlantic. He was previously the legal affairs editor of The New Republic and a staff writer for The New Yorker.

The only man to serve as president and chief justice, who approached every decision in constitutional terms, defending the Founders’ vision against new populist threats to American democracy

William Howard Taft never wanted to be president and yearned instead to serve as chief justice of the United States. But despite his ambivalence about politics, the former federal judge found success in the executive branch as governor of the Philippines and secretary of war, and he won a resounding victory in the presidential election of 1908 as Theodore Roosevelt’s handpicked successor.

In this provocative assessment, Jeffrey Rosen reveals Taft’s crucial role in shaping how America balances populism against the rule of law. Taft approached each decision as president by asking whether it comported with the Constitution, seeking to put Roosevelt’s activist executive orders on firm legal grounds. But unlike Roosevelt, who thought the president could do anything the Constitution didn’t forbid, Taft insisted he could do only what the Constitution explicitly allowed. This led to a dramatic breach with Roosevelt in the historic election of 1912, which Taft viewed as a crusade to defend the Constitution against the demagogic populism of Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson.

Nine years later, Taft achieved his lifelong dream when President Warren Harding appointed him chief justice, and during his years on the Court he promoted consensus among the justices and transformed the judiciary into a modern, fully equal branch. Though he had chafed in the White House as a judicial president, he thrived as a presidential chief justice.

Taft wasn't a great president, yet we could learn something from him. I've read many of the volumes of The American Presidents series and found them to be usually good overviews. Jeffrey Rosen's work on the presidency of William Howard Taft proved an interesting look at a man chiefly remembered for his massive weight (over 300 pounds) as well as being the only person who served as both President and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Rosen builds the case that while Taft lacked the flamboyance of his predecessor Theodore Roosevelt, in some ways, Taft's administration proved more effective in the areas of conservation and regulating large business trusts. That said, Taft was more a jurist than a politician. He could place too much emphasis on loyalty and he made missteps. One, involving the dismissal of the head of the Forest Service, led to a break with his old friend Roosevelt and Roosevelt would challenge Taft for the 1912 Republican nomination and then as head of his own party. Taft finished third in the 1912 election, the worst showing for a Republican presidential candidate. However, he would enjoy a happy ending, being named Chief Justice in 1921 and spearheading constructive changes to the American court system. Rosen argues that in a time of populism and fears of executive over-reach, Taft shows that it is possible for a president to be mindful of constitutional limitations yet put together a solid record. The book reads very well and does make a reader think that while Taft is not one our better remembered presidents, his story has lessons for our times.A much maligned President who became a great Chief Justice It is hard to think a better qualified president and Chief Justice than William Howard Taft (1857-1930). Even before assuming the presidency, Taft had been an Ohio prosecutor and state judge; IRS tax collector; Solicitor General of the United States; Sixth Circuit federal judge; and Civil Governor of the Philippines (and briefly Cuba). After his presidency, he taught law at Yale before being appointed Chief Justice by Harding in 1921. Many solid bios of Taft are available, including Pringle's substantial two-volume study published in 1930. What is so remarkable about Jeffrey Rosen's book is that not only does he cover Taft's life in 138 pages of text, 25 pages of notes, a 4 page chronology and a 2 page bibliography, but he does it so well. The book moves smoothly through the material, and I never felt that any important points had been omitted or not sufficiently discussed.Rosen's Introduction lays out his overall views of Taft. Namely, he was a judicial president and a presidential Chief Justice. Unlike TR who felt a president could do about anything he felt necessary even if not specifically authorized in the Constitution, Taft was very circumspect and only exercised powers articulated in the document. Taft did not even try to lead Congress but was satisfied to make recommendations to the legislative body. Clearly Taft was not a believer in what we call today "the Imperial Presidency," so he did not come across as a strong leader in part due to this outlook. He also feared popular movements like the initiative and referendum, as well as juries, since they might be undisciplined and act dangerously. TR's advocacy of judicial recall absolutely horrified him and was one reason he split from the more popular Roosevelt.Several of the strongest chapters deal with Taft as president and give the reader a more positive view of his accomplishments than is usually the case. His views on the tariff and free trade are particularly interesting, as was his record as a "trust buster." But he got a real black eye from the Ballinger-Pinchot scandal, where Louis D. Brandies was able to demonstrate that Taft had backdated a key memorandum. Rosen's analysis of the 1912 campaign is also loaded with insights and well worth studying, especially as regards TR's New Nationalism versus Wilson's New Freedom platforms.I found Rosen's chapter on Taft as CJ absolutely the highlight of the book. The author outlines the many administrative improvements engineered by Taft, including a judicial conference, and the Judiciary Act of 1925 which made the Court's jurisdiction almost exclusively discretionary. He lobbied for and secured funding for the Court's building, completed long after his death. Rosen also discusses several of his key decisions and how he was able to enhance unanimity among his colleagues to a very high level. While we can celebrate Taft for his monumental role as Chief Justice, Rosen's book reminds us that we need to study the whole man and his career to really understand this much denigrated President.Rosen Makes Even Taft Appealing Jeffrey Rosen’s “William Howard Taft” is a short biography of the twenty-seventh President of the United States. This recent addition to The American Presidents Series, edited by Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. and Sean Wilentz, is well written and surprisingly engaging, perhaps in part because of the times in which we now live.Taft was not exactly an exciting President. He revered and adhered to the law and the Constitution as if they were Holy Writ. With these as his guiding principles, Taft regarded the three branches of government as having all the powers these instruments afforded them and no more. As President, he steered important legislation to passage, particularly with respect to trade and labor, and kept the U.S. out of a war with Mexico. But he was not an inspiring leader; he ended up splitting the sympathies of his Republican Party, thus ensuring that he would be a single-term President.Taft’s first love, in any case, was the judiciary, and he pined to be named the Chief Justice to the Supreme Court of the United States. He got his wish when President Warren G. Harding named him to the Court in 1921. His almost nine-year tenure as Chief Justice was marked by decisions that closely adhered to the Constitution and to precedent: he ruled against the federal Child Labor Tax Law (“Bailey v. Drexel Furniture Co.”), not because he supported child labor, but because it attempted “to intrude on the state’s authority to regulate the hours of labor” (p. 121); for warrantless wiretapping (“Olmstead v. United States”) because the Fourth Amendment forbid only “unreasonable searches and seizures” against fixed private property (p. 123); and for the President’s exclusive authority “to fire executive branch officials without being constrained by Congress” (“Myers v. United States”) (p. 123). Chief Justice Taft also convinced Congress to allow the Supreme Court control over its own docket, thus effectively reducing the Court’s case load, steered the Court to unanimous decisions 84 percent of the time (between 1921 and 1928), and initiated the campaign to erect a separate edifice to house the Court.Rosen alludes to the contrast between Taft and the current occupant of the White House. Beyond Taft’s views of a Presidency constrained by a strict interpretation of its powers under the Constitution, Taft also believed in a republican (small “r”) form of government that favored deliberation over the immediacy of more purely democratic mechanisms. As President, Taft “was opposed to discrimination against aliens,” including a literacy test for immigrants (p. 92). Moreover, Rosen notes, Taft would have been aghast at “the spectacle of tweeting presidents and representatives…” (p. 136). In a letter to the “Yale Daily News” in 1913, President Taft condemned “unscrupulous demagogues who to promote their interests do not hesitate to promote disrespect and even contempt for the Constitution…” (p. 106). On the other hand, President Taft might have understood President Trump’s demand for personal loyalty (p. 135).In these times, when the so-called Imperial Presidency is marked by ever more egregious acts that promote the self-interest of its incumbent, the somewhat boring presidency of the Ohioan thesmophilist seems like the right antidote. Rosen makes Taft downright appealing.
