Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The simple message of this book is that divorcing husbands and wives should not allow divorce lawyers to send them off on a fool's errand that will take what is already a tragedy in their lives and turn it into a nightmare. That is when they are persuaded to employ the law as a weapon in a legal tug of war the object of which is simply to get as much as you can and to give as little as you have to.

It is called divorce mediation and it doesn't take forever or cost a king's ransom.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - I was born and raised in a small Northern California town. At one time, the population was very near that of the fictitious town of Payton Place with equal amounts of gossip and everyone knowing everyone else's business. I graduated from the local high school in the late '60s and couldn't wait to get out of town. I moved to the city and began a series of counterculture adventures, which ultimately landed me in jail. Over the course of time, I came to think fondly of the time I spent in my then small hometown. The town has grown since then but is still small, relatively speaking. I have always enjoyed writing and sharing my experiences with other people and now, at this point in my life, would like to relay what it was like growing up with 'country ways.'Plain ole everyday events are what make up all our lives. What follows here are some of those events that have made up my life and those around me. Some of these stories are pieces I wrote for a writing group I was involved in at our local library. The group was 'Down Memory Lane' and was anything about our past in our small town. Our pieces were usually printed in the local newspaper, and I came to appreciate the comments I would get on the articles. Of course, this is life in a small town, so usually everyone knows everyone else and their dogs. But as Wallace Stegner once said, 'How do you make a book that anyone will read out of lives as quiet as these ' This is that attempt. This is just plain old everyday events. Fellini once insinuated that what he creates is more real to him than what actually is or was. He created his own reality. Most of these stories are just as they happened. I did these stories in an effort to explain the time and the events that made up those experiences (my life and times).…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - M.S. Penelope Price presents inspirational, free flowing poetic storylines about life and love.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - It is contended in this book that much of the literature elaborates on a rather religious explanation of 'Man's Basic Purpose' for being on Earth. One religious explanation says that 'Man's Basic Purpose' is to worship, praise, and glorify God. It is the author's view that we were not put here to glorify God. Here a more secular view of 'Man's Basic Purpose is given. One secular view says that 'Man's Basic Purpose' is to reproduce. The author goes from reproduction as a purpose for man's existence to self-actualization. Self-actualization and creativity are the highest purposes for man's existence.…

As a teenager, when I left Georgia to pursue a better life and to see the world, I told myself I would never live here again. 70 years later, after all my travels and being in so many places, I accomplished my dream; with many prayers. I was determined not to return, but somehow, I found myself back in Georgia, where I started. Life has changed a great deal since my younger days.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The original Journal of the Plague Year was written by Daniel Defoe in 1639. Plagues have been a recurrent fact of life since humans have existed. A virus or a bacterium makes the jump either from an animal or from a tribe who have long been habituated to the organism, and this novel infection races through the newly exposed populace, and a huge die-off of the new hosts occurs.The last major event was the Spanish influenza at the end of WWI. There have been events of concern such as SARS and Ebola, with other lesser events such as H1N1, MERS, and Hong Kong flu. While these potentially were a major problem, the Wuhan virus has turned out to be a new plague of disastrous dimensions. It remains to be seen if the catastrophic subsequent events were due to the virus itself or the hysterical overreaction to it. As an experienced doctor, with a large active clinical practice, I found I was often being asked the same questions as many patients were totally confused by the media and the changing and contradictory pronouncement from politicians and public health. I found I was answering so many questions in the office and on Facebook that it came to me, in April of 2020, that what I was doing was in fact compiling a 'Journal of a Plague Year.' This book is a collection of sequential posts, almost all completely unedited. Also included were some questions and my answers.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This book is about one thing, and that is to bring people all over the world closer to God. This book is about being able to hear and apply what God is saying to us as a people. It is about what God is saying, not what I, the author, am saying. This book is intended to help motivate and inspire the unbeliever to become a believer and a servant of the Most High God and to bring the believer even closer to God. In this book, I use personal experiences to illustrate that no matter what people may be going through or what they have done, God is still in the delivering business. This book is all about praising and giving God the glory in spite of how your situation looks. It is about praising your way out of your storm rather than walking through the storm with your head held down. This book is all about our father, creator, healer, deliverer, and savior, Jesus Christ.…
