Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Terry Riley can't seem to catch a break. As a senior political reporter for the Washington Post, he's received death threats and taken on his share of scumbags, but this day trumps it all.

Yep, a great day. Things are about to get worse. Riley decides to cover the first International Summit on the Environment in Mexico City. Despite still being a wanted man in Mexico, he burns to uncover the deceit surrounding Pritchard and heads south of the border.

Forced to align himself with a rebel leader to stay alive and to get his story, Riley is thrust into a web of political corruption, illegal drugs, and genocide.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. All forms of child abuse interfere with the healthy and creative functioning of the child. Abuse of any kind handicaps the individual in one or more important areas of development, while at the same time, over emphasizes attributes that properly belong to other areas of psychic unfoldment. I…t is absolutely impossible for the primary form of abuse, whether it be physical, emotional, mental, sexual or interpersonalnot to inhibit functioning in other areas of the childs life. Abused children have the highest rates of developmental problems, incidents of juvenile delinquent behavior, and, as adults, show the highest incidence of addictions. The latter include addiction to food, alcohol, sex and drugs. They also have the highest rate of psychopathological disturbances, in addition to exhibiting the highest rate of criminal behavior. And not surprisingly, they also have the highest probability of becoming child abusers themselves. We as a society have agreedat least in a public waythat physical and sexual abuse must cease. But in fact, we have not yet identified or recognized that abuse designed to cause fear and pain by threatening the withdrawal of love, is often much, much more devastating. Why have we failed in this recognition? Because it is so common. Parents who use the withdrawal of love and support in coercing a child into behaving, are committing child abuse. Unconditional love is the vaccine against all future dysfunction -- Michael Miller, M.Ed., M.S., Ph.D. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Peter Drucker was a force of nature when it comes to the development of the managerial mindset of the latter 20th century. Like Athena emerging fully grown and dressed for battle from the head of Zeus, Druckers ideas discovered and identified a framework for a practical philosophy of busines…s that continues to be found useful as a tool to navigate the ever changing ebbs and flows of the uncertain seas of business from the local to the international. His work has been considered important and worthy of study. The Fellows of the Academy of Management voted Drucker s 1954 book The Practice of Management the third most influential book of the 20th century. Just to review the titles of his many books from 1939 to 2008 would bring you a structure for pursuing an understanding of the philosophy of business management. Among his many ideas, he early predicted the disappearance of the blue collar worker, the importance of nonprofits for improving the community of lives of those who help and those who have been helped, the necessity to adapt to changes with eyes firmly fixed in a forward direction, and the increasing importance of the knowledge worker and the need to keep learning to adapt to the changing world. The subject is broad but the dynamics beneath the hood are organic and distinct, and deepen with more study and attention. It is hoped that this introduction to Druckers thoughts and insights will serve as an inspiration to those preparing to cultivate their future in the business world for a better tomorrow. DrLuther Guynes, Ph.D. has dedicated over 45 years to higher education as a Professor, Department Chair and Administrator. DrGuynes received his bachelors degree in Business Administration and Industrial Engineering from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. Under the mentorship of Dr Peter F Drucker, he earned his Masters Degree in Economics and Business Statistics and his Ph.D. in Government Finance and Public Administration from Claremont Graduate University, Claremont California. DrPeter Drucker considered DrGuynes an outstanding student, gifted cooperative colleague and an esteemed professional. DrPeter Drucker describes DrGuynes as follows: Luther C Guynes, is probably the ablest administrator I have taught. He has compassion combined with the necessary toughness. Altogether he is one of the few naturals in administration I have met. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Garabed Hagop Aaronian was Armenian, yet served in the Turkish Army as an Engineer-Officer -- this, in fact, is how he was able to survive and write "Under The Shadow of Death", his personal record of the Armenian genocide. His account takes an inside view of the atrocities he and many Armen…ians suffered. G.H. Aaronian vividly testifies to the horror of the torture and annihilation of his friends and family while describing moments of hope when he transformed the landscape of the genocide to help many people. He possessed a will to survive that was remarkable while earning credibility and respect from all those who came in contact with him. In his own words: "It is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and may God have mercy upon the souls of those innocent people, my people, who suffered and died, many not even give the dignity of a grave. Lest their memory be forgotten by those who escaped the Jehennem (hell or a place of suffering), and for the generations to come, LET THIS BE A REMINDER". Aaronian's story is a warning of the depravity of the human condition and the hope offered by those who stand against it.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The realities of a futile campaign are portrayed in this novel of the Vietnam War. The action ranges from the White House to the jungle, from the American Embassy in Saigon to the front lines. Michael Peterson has also written "The Immortal Dragon". If you're looking for a Vietnam War novel,… but you don't want to wade in too deep, this is perfect lightweight fare. Think of it as a cross between Tom Clancy and Graham Greene (see Orrin's review of The Quiet American)with the civil servant as superhero trying to navigate a moral cesspool. Bradley Lawrence Marshall is the blue blood, war hero, diplomat who is sent to Vietnam as the personal emissary of President Johnson, to find a way out. In country, he meets with real figures like General Westmoreland, who tries to convince him everything is copacetic. But he also meets folks like: his driver, Corporal Mead, a decent though violent American lad of ambiguous sexuality, who is sick of the war; Lacouture, a flamboyant, Guy Burgess-like, Frenchman who sells information to all sides and loves Mead; and the insidious CIA station chief, Wilson Abbot Lord, who lives to fight the Communists and, fearing that Marshall will end the war, plots to kill him. And it's all set against the backdrop of the Tet Offensive. The whole premise, of Johnson and a bureaucrat secretly planning an exit strategy, doesn't withstand much scrutiny and the stereotypes and cliches run rampant. But taken on its own terms, as a sort of politico-military potboiler with only mild pretensions of addressing issues in any serious way, it succeeds pretty well. It's certainly a more diverting read than many of the more critically acclaimed novels of the war. The realities of a futile campaign are portrayed in this novel of the Vietnam War.

The action ranges from the White House to the jungle, from the American Embassy in Saigon to the front lines. Michael Peterson has also written "The Immortal Dragon". If you're looking for a Vietnam War novel,… but you don't want to wade in too deep, this is perfect lightweight fare. Think of it as a cross between Tom Clancy and Graham Greene (see Orrin's review of The Quiet American)with the civil servant as superhero trying to navigate a moral cesspool. Bradley Lawrence Marshall is the blue blood, war hero, diplomat who is sent to Vietnam as the personal emissary of President Johnson, to find a way out. In country, he meets with real figures like General Westmoreland, who tries to convince him everything is copacetic. But he also meets folks like: his driver, Corporal Mead, a decent though violent American lad of ambiguous sexuality, who is sick of the war; Lacouture, a flamboyant, Guy Burgess-like, Frenchman who sells information to all sides and loves Mead; and the insidious CIA station chief, Wilson Abbot Lord, who lives to fight the Communists and, fearing that Marshall will end the war, plots to kill him. And it's all set against the backdrop of the Tet Offensive. The whole premise, of Johnson and a bureaucrat secretly planning an exit strategy, doesn't withstand much scrutiny and the stereotypes and cliches run rampant. But taken on its own terms, as a sort of politico-military potboiler with only mild pretensions of addressing issues in any serious way, it succeeds pretty well.
