Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The medical profession today is not controlled by doctors or nurses.It's controlled by corporations, administrators, and bureaucrats-it's become a business.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - In his new poetry collection, author Lucio Presutti draws on his life experiences, trials, and tribulations to present a unique philosophical view on historical events, human behavior, and current experiences. From the search for romance to the loss of our most revered president, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, he captures of the heart and soul of the emotional depth of each experience. Compelled strongly by the theory of duality, he believes our forces in nature and life itself invariably touch and mould the intrinsic nature of all human beings.There is a deep and profoundly spiritual resonance in his writings. Though he has experienced a tumultuous life, the inherent optimism in his life is evident in Lucio's Poems.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - For many years it's been taught, almost without contradiction, that no one can know when Jesus will return for His church. That's because He spoke of His return saying, 'But of the day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, NOR THE SON, but only the Father.' (Mark 13: 32). That indeed was true at the time Jesus said it; however, shortly after His resurrection He said something else that changed the situation concerning the knowledge of His return. He then said, 'ALL AUTHORITY has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.' (Matthew 28: 18). Since Jesus now has ALL AUTHORITY in heaven and earth, it's inconceivable that He Himself no longer knows when He will come for His church. That means Mark 13: 32 (above) was true for ONLY a short time after He said it. In I Thessalonians 4: 15 - 17, we have a description of Jesus's return for His church. Then Chapter 5 follows acknowledging that unbelievers will indeed have no idea when it's about to happen; however, Verse 4 says, 'But YOU, brethren, are NOT IN DARKNESS that this day should overtake you as a thief.' BELIEVERS ARE NOT IN DARKNESS ABOUT WHEN JESUS IS COMING. His return doesn't have to be a surprise to His Church. Therefore, this book examines both Bible prophecies and examples to see when Scripture indicates Jesus will return. The first chapter of this book shows from Scripture that, also contrary to general teaching, there is at least one major prophecy that must still be fulfilled BEFORE Jesus can come.…

When we surrender our self-made invisible cape to God, we will find that nothing is impossible with Him.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - According to the savvy African Scientist by the name of Cheikh Anta Diop, the true cause of Socrates' death was the fact that he brought and introduced new ideas (from a foreign country) to the society in which he was living.(conference in LOME, Africa). Another wise African Scientist who was at the time living in France, once said: 'Opening myself to others, Paris has opened me to the true knowledge of myself.' Leopold Sedar Senghor. (from a book read in the secondary school, in the DR Congo, 1976-79). In this book, SPIRITUAL GROWTH IN THE MIDST OF CHALLENGES: a positive answer to a destructive disposition, the author is trying to explain that each society creates its barriers. With its cultures and beliefs, societies have developed Barriers; such as: - unableling someone financially by refusing to hire her/him for the work he /she qualified for; or which she/he deserves and systematically putting him/her down; - assassinating one's character by labeling him /her as a mental health sufferer because of his/her courage of not being afraid to speak the truth and to bring it forward to the public; - preventing him/her to generate good income in order to live a decent and prosper life; - Breaking his /her spirit by refusing his /her work and therefore, destroying all her/his credibility and efforts to evolve; Those barriers are implemented to allow or to limit certain people from becoming successful in a given society. These calculated bad intentions are put in place and carried on to make someone become sick or just to harm. What the author is really trying to say is that when a person lacks supports ( i.e, financial, emotional, and social), he or she is already dead. This attitude proceed from the society that does not promote gifts, talents and abilities of someone prominent and promising because of the color of his/her skin, the origin, the religion or the difference in reasoning. Isn't true that anything that waste potential or potentiality is Evil If it is so, we must discern and recognize that from Evil comes racism; racism engenders injustice, injustice produces poverty and prolong poverty leads to death. All one can do is to denounce because denouncing injustice is always already fighting against the injustice.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - In the year 1896, the sheriff of Uintah County, John T. Pope, rode alone on the trail of Butch Cassidy and his infamous Wild Bunch. Hailed as one of America's greatest lawmen, John T. Pope lived by the fire in his blood and the gun in his hand. Because John never boasted about how many bad men he'd actually been forced to kill, the outlaws he chased from Uintah County, and surrounding regions, have received more notoriety, but John's fame with a blazing gun and keen intellect was well known to those that knew him.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Our universe is a slow motion matter 'Factory'. The matter that our universe continuously produces, is made from the matter that is continuously 'emitted' into our universe, at the very center of our universe.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The past few decades have seen remarkable technological growth in the delivery of modern medicine.

The modern patient has become so dependent upon these therapies and interventions that they take a passive interest in their health. For author Dr. Mark W.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'My Life with Nobi' is a story of two people whose lives were such that they had little or no chance of meeting had it not been for World War II. She was born and lived her early life on the Island of Hokkaido, Japan while I was born and lived my early life in Little Rock, Arkansas. I have always thought that she was given to by God, not because I deserved her, but because we were two lost souls aimlessly going through life. Our story takes us through the problems of Army Regulations prohibiting us from showing affection to the Japanese women and a few times where racial prejudice raised its ugly head. There were times when I had to be approved by her guardian before I was permitted to kiss her goodnight. When all of the problems were solved our love for each other grew and span over a period of sixty-two years. Our story includes how we raised our children, the heartache of losing one to a dreaded disease called Systemic Lupus Erythematosis, and the problems of everyday life like the middle class family that we are.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Demographic trends and patterns provide valuable insights into social structure and behavior, both past and present, and are particularly useful in gauging the effect and extent of social change. While national, state, and local records of pre-1900 demographic information exist, they are often incomplete, inaccurate, or missing altogether. An alternative source of information is genealogical material, which can be used to cross-check the accuracy of demographic directions generalized from locational records.Historical Demography through Genealogies makes extensive use of genealogical information to measure pre-1900 trends in various vital statistics. In a series of research inquiries, author Albert E. McCormick pursues the relationship of these demographic processes to the social structure, values, and customs of the times. Individual chapters focus on¿ fertility, marriage, and mortality;¿ childlessness;¿ bachelor/spinsterhood and remarriage;¿ infant mortality and child-naming;¿ occupational/structural mobility, including the status of women. McCormick's results shed further light upon demographic processes as they existed before the advent of reliable national records, adding intriguing comprehensions of nineteenth century society and social life. Demographers, sociologists, social historians, and students of social change will find Historical Demography through Genealogies a valuable, comprehensive addition to their research collection.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - As parents, we want the best for our children. We want them to succeed in every area of their lives, which often requires that we provide rules and boundaries so that no harm comes to them. In the same way, God creates spiritual boundaries and laws for his children so that we may be successful in our Christian lives. But what happens when his children, like our children, rebel and decide to break the rules they have been given In The Commandments of God, author Cornie Banman revisits the laws and commandments that God created for his children and addresses the question many twenty-first century Christians ask: are the Ten Commandments and other biblical laws still applicable to our lives today Banman examines how Jesus and his first followers responded to this rebellious attitude and how today's traditional religious society responds to these commandments. He also explores how Satan, the great deceiver, continues to deceive us about God's laws and plans for our lives.The Commandments of God seeks to provide answers to questions that have plagued Christians since the beginning of the Christian faith, allowing a better understanding of God's plan for our lives.…
