Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Handsome Rob Baron had a keen eye for business, yet maintained a conservative approach to life. His wife, Julia, with her fiery red hair and emerald green eyes possessed a marketing mind and a writer's sense of creativity, which caused her to view life from a different perspective. They pooled their resources and entered a new chapter of their lives as owners of The Madera Market. The pair soon discovered that their dream of business ownership had turned into a nightmare so powerful it kept drawing Julia deeper and deeper towards its vortex, one horrific dream sequence at a time. There were singular events in Julia Baron's life that seemed innocuous, leaving little cause for her personal concern. But little did Julia realize that collectively these events could and would alter her life and disrupt the usual, customary and orderly existence she shared with her husband and family. Most people think they live uneventful, average lives. They think nothing out-of-the-ordinary could ever happen to them. Julia Baron was like everyone else. She was just an ordinary person with one exception-her life just happened to take some extraordinary turns leading her on a journey far removed from her sheltered world into a dark underworld of secrets and perversions far beyond her wildest imagination. Julia Baron found herself amidst the underbelly of society where subcultures thrived on drugs, promoted prostitution and pornography and were capable of many things-even murder. She had become an unwilling player in a game that had no rules and knew no boundaries and her only way to gain back control of her life was to find the-'Pieces of the Puzzle'.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This isn't an ordinary Civil War tale. It is the all-true but little-known story of Adam 'Stovepipe' Johnson-Kentucky legend, Texas hero, and Confederate cavalry officer-who boldly led the first Confederate raid across the Mason-Dixon Line to capture the thriving river-port community of Newburgh, Indiana, during the American Civil War. Not a shot was fired. With the politically divided landscape of Civil War Kentucky and the steamboat economy of the Ohio River as its backdrop, this is the historically accurate account of surprise nocturnal strikes, opportunistic military occupations, and a swashbuckling Rebel icon's daring daylight invasion into the Northern homeland that sealed the fate of western Kentucky for the remainder of the war. Vivid, thorough, and painstakingly researched, Thunder from a Clear Sky documents five critical weeks of 1862 Civil War history and shares the untold tale of one man's immeasurable impact on a nation at war.'A fascinating account of how a skilled former Indian fighter gathered a few Kentucky rebels and 'woke up' the slumbering Indiana Home Guard.'-Evansville Courier & Press Book Reviews 'An important and, until now, largely neglected story about the American Civil War.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Silent Capitulations: The Kemalist Republic Under Assault brings to life the rise of Islamic fundamentalism in Turkish political life. It paints an uncompromising picture of a regime determined to appease European skeptics of Turkish adhesion to the European Union by capitulating to their demands on all fronts.Turkey's inability to unite its eastern and western parts is attributed to the dominance of an oligarchy of feudal lords, tribal chiefs, big business, and a ruling class who all masquerade as if they are part of a functioning democracy. Suffering from the ravages of tribal conformity and tainted by corruption and cronyism, the society is showing signs of an astonishing degree of deterioration. When municipal governments are a relic of the past and taxation is a tangle of dysfunctional measures, when justice is crippled by archaic arrangements and a web of vested interests control corporations-the nation is indeed under attack.Using arguments developed through the use of events and anecdotes, author Sedat Sami offers a deep examination of the Turkish social and political scene as well as a dramatic account of the Islamist onslaught against the Kemalist Republic.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - We each have to learn the lessons of the elders, and usually we do so the hard way; by having to go through the same phases of life that others who came before and tried to warn us about life. As a young, assistant professor I assumed I knew it all. I was going to work hard, do a lot of research, publish well, and meet my responsibilities as a teacher. Some where along this path I realized I was incomplete. I needed something more that the scientific method to guide my life. By now I was a father and deeply involved in my career. I did accept the Headship as I knew I could do it, and I knew it had to be done. Yet, the job is very hard, and is filled with lots of inter-personal conflicts with staff and faculty. I was glad to shed that role while I was young enough to have time to do some deep explorations of my life. I believe my first step in this direction began with a newly formed Unitarian Church in West Knoxville and with our minister, Dillman Sorrells. I next credit Carol Pearson for opening up an entire new area to me. I got her first book, contacted her, and joined her seminar titled Journey Guides. I was introduced to Carl Jung anew and in a form I had not encountered in my earlier studies. Pearson's use of archetypes was fascinating to me and I began to see how they worked in my life. By now I had begun to move out of the ego stage into the inter-mediate stage of the soul that later leads us to be archetype of the sage. I believe that my teaching improved in the latter years of my career, and I feel that I learned a great deal from my students. One of the first lessons I learned was to allow my intuition to work for me. My personality tends toward the sensing and thinking type, rather than the intuitive and feeling type. But, I learned how to work against my type. About this time I first learned of the Meyers-Briggs Type Test at a leadership school run for Unitarians. Things seemed to be coming to.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Literally all healthy relationships will benefit by understanding and appreciating this historically first true clarification of love eliminating confusion over what it is and how to find and build upon it. This useful descriptive definition of love is invaluable for those interested in increasing the success of any relationship. One of a host of interesting insights is that genuine love is more than emotion.Janet Ackerman-Smith BSN, MA, MSDuring a fifty-year ministry this is one of my very few 'absolute endorsements' because Dr. Joseph Smith has put together a manuscript of such thoughtful and practical concern. Most of the books on the counters of our local bookstores are not of the same caliber that he offers. Reading this manuscript was, for me, an adventure of discovery. I find his book not only fulfilling but exciting. The organization quickly brings the reader to an appreciation that 'love defined' can really have an impact on not only the way we understand and then react with others, but how we may do this responsibly. This is the secret genius of this book!Reverend William J. Murphey.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Legacy's Fate opens with Vistamir and Emaris (the island of Valtar's leaders) discussing Randak, the unlikely protagonist who is considered an eccentric storyteller. Telling his tales at the Annual River Celebrations (held in honor of the Meander River - their only clean water supply), all but Vistamir dismissed them as fanatical musings of a senile old man. Vistamir sought out Randak the following day, and when the storyteller floated across the river in front of the leader, Vistamir's suspicions about the old man being special were real. Randak met with Vistamir and some trusted friends the next day, when the old man then revealed the surprising secret of his life as well as theirs. It turns out that Randak (a.k.a. Doug Parker) is a 400-year-old longevity experiment, and that all the people on Valtar were descendants of a spaceship crew from Earth that was forced to land there centuries ago. On this foreign planet the current population had forgotten their roots, so the storyteller's revelation was life changing. But the leaders and the others wanted more proof his stories were true, especially Doug's cryptic remark about something killing the island. Doug then takes Vistamir and Emaris as well as Mystel and Kaskin (the leader's twin female partners) and the twin's father Baldor to the spaceship's well-preserved remains hidden in the island's northwestern mountains. The old man's credibility was now confirmed, and afterward he took his guests to the Meander River's source, located in a cave high up in the mountains. Doug told them his suspicions were true after testing the water here: their only fresh water supply was becoming chemically polluted and will eventually be undrinkable. After the shock of this revelation, the companions head back to the ship where Doug instructs them on building some simple filtration units using lava rock. They spend the night there and plan another trip back to the source the next day - the extra lava rock they nee.…
