Buch. Condición: Neu.

Partisan politics, self interest, economic misinformation, and mindless slogans rule the day-at one of the most critical and transitional times in our history. On the other hand, advances in technology continue, the United States has an incredibly powerful industrial engine and amazing productive capacity in place, and the potential is clearly there to address all the issues listed above. The Novel 'Mandate: A Man for The Times' is an optimistic, research-intensive, character-driven, humorous, and insightful 'fantasy' of how the United States might reach its technology-fueled potential over the next twenty years. Growing up, future president Williams gets an intense, 'hands-on' education in business and economics working in his father's turbulent GM auto dealership. Williams earns a PhD in economics from Yale and works with a charismatic professor, Dr. Lester Walden, who is leading an eminent team making groundbreaking advancements in global economic modeling, simulation, and analysis. Williams also pitches for the Boston Red Sox, and becomes head of the Players Union. (MLBPA) Meanwhile, Internet marketing billionaire Don Reddy, who has earlier founded the 'Sanity Party,' a progressive, bi-partisan, economically astute movement as an offset to the overly dogmatic and ideological 'Tea Party,' is now making eye-opening progress in building a baseball fan's union.

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -During my fourth year of teaching, I had the great privilege of working with an amazing educator by the name of Miss Bezanson. She taught a grade four class to whom I taught Physical Education. Therefore, I had the opportunity to socialize with her on a daily basis. About six months into the school year, Miss Bezanson gave me something that would forever change my teaching techniques and my life, although I did not realize it at that moment. One afternoon, I was in Miss Bezanson's class discussing a student who was displaying increasing behavioural problems in my Physical Education class. Sensing that I was experiencing tremendous stress as a result of this student, she gave me something that touched my heart and reinforced an important life lesson. She handed me a small paper card entitled 'Hug Someone You Love Today'. That was it! No preachy sermon or fancy teaching strategies. At that moment, I realized that maybe all that child needed was a simple hug. A sign of affection which he may or may not have been receiving at home. So the next day, I gave him a 'Hug Someone You Love Today' card. From that day forward, I never had another major problem with that student. It was absolutely amazing. In this book, I will share with you some of the heart-felt, true stories that I have accumulated over the years as a result of passing out these 'Hug Someone You Love Today' cards along to those in need. These are stories about normal folks like you and I, whose lives have been positively changed as a result of receiving this simple card. As you read these stories, hopefully you will begin to feel more peaceful and loving yourself.Libri GmbH, Europaallee 1, 36244 Bad Hersfeld 140 pp. Englisch.…
