      Together, then apart, then together again, as a brother and a sister discover the riches of life. Rich Brother Rich Sister combines the inspirational, true life stories of Robert Kiyosaki and his sister Emi Kiyosaki (Venerable Tenzin Kacho) into a book that will reaffirm your belief in the power of purpose, the importance of action, and the ability to overcome obstacles in a quest for a rich financial and spiritual life. In 1962, the United States detonated an atomic bomb ten miles off the coast of Christmas Island in the South Pacific. From that moment, two people, born of the same parents into the same household with the same childhood experiences, found themselves on distinctly different paths toward God, money, and happiness. Robert became a world-famous entrepreneur, author, and teacher of all things financial. Emi became a highly devout Buddhist nun, author, and teacher of all things spiritual. This book will inspire you along your own life’s journey as you search for your own truths, purpose, and path to wealth—both financial and spiritual—to achieve all the riches of life that were meant for you...and us all.

      Il romanzo dell'americano Dan Brown, "Il Codice Da Vinci", ha incrinato una serie di certezze e dogmi acquisiti da secoli. Gesù era davvero sposato con Maria Maddalena? Quest'ultima era effettivamente uno dei dodici apostoli? Davvero alcuni geni del passato come Leonardo e Isaac Newton appartenevano a società segrete in possesso di verità rivoluzionarie? È davvero possibile che "L'ultima cena" di Leonardo nasconda dettagli e simboli a sostegno di queste versioni della storia e della fede? E, soprattutto, le ipotesi avanzate da Dan Brown sono supportate da concreti dati storici? Analizzando le fonti adottate dall'autore americano, Burstein fornisce un contributo essenziale che ne svela i misteri più controversi.

      Left for dead in a dumpster, private investigator Benny Cooperman becomes his own client in his most puzzling mystery yet. Benny is recovering in a Toronto hospital from a serious blow to the head. He has a condition called alexia sine agraphia; in layman's terms, it means he can still write but cannot read. And his memory has been affected too: Although he can quote lines from his high-school production of Twelfth Night, he finds himself brushing his teeth with his shaving cream. Even his girlfriend's name—Anna Abraham—continues to elude him. When Benny learns that he was found unconscious beside a dead woman, he figures he must have been close to solving a case. With Anna working as field agent and two Toronto cops reluctantly sharing their discoveries, Benny pieces together the events that led to a murder—and his own injuries.
