Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - I grew up watching the New York skyline, and from my flat tar roof in Queens I was able to see the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan as it was being built. I felt a palpable thrill each time I passed these glistening towers of glass and steel. Those magnificent edifices defined the size and vibrancy of the city for New Yorkers and people all over the world.When those stately giants collapsed on 9/11, their loss was compounded by the civilians and rescuers who were inside when they fell. I knew people who died that day, and most every day since 9/11 I think about them. Because of those lost, I felt an obligation to react to 9/11 in fiction. The Savage Quiet September Sun is the result of three and a half years of pain, reflection, and eventually catharsis.-Victor Lana, August 2005.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - I didn't know it then, but I know it now, that what I said to Harold was like crossing a Rubicon. I had declared myself, there was no turning back.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Students and house staff officers are lucky when one of their professors takes the time to discuss with them how he/she tells a bad diagnosis to a new patient. This is how I advise them to handle it: 'Take a chair or sit on the edge of the bed if need be and touch a hand. That will comfort the patient. And don't think for a minute that men do not appreciate that gesture; they do. Unless the patient decides differently, it is better when the spouse, a close member of the family or a friend is present. Remember that after you leave the room, it will be awfully lonely for the patient. Tell the bad news, but immediately hold out a few rays of hope to grasp. And be prepared to answer the questions that will follow, not once but several times because most patients do not remember what you told them. You will be amazed how the well-informed patients accept the worst diagnosis and how grateful they are that you took the time to sit with them. Answer all questions and remember, the informed patient becomes your best patient. And no question is a dumb question.'.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Women are holyThe people of Weyburn, Ohio, practice a religion thousands of years old-the first religion. And the first law of this religion is that no one may harm a woman. One of them has broken this law. He is a rapist and killer, and he must be found and punished.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Buy this book! What, you expected sterling praise from famous writers Sorry, I can¿t provide that because I am forced to publish Confederate Nation myself. Besides, I suspect that many of those testimonials are just favors from friends who may not have even read the book. And you never see a bad one, right Let¿s face it, the so-called mainstream publishing industry has become constipated and reluctant to do much more than recycle the gorp of mediocre but established writers. It is mostly unwilling to take a chance and discover new and exciting writers.So, I am taking matters in my own hands and getting Confederate Nation in front of readers. Life is too short to wait for a break. I¿m going to try and make it happen now.Is this a great book Probably not. There are very few great books published any more. But is it entertaining Yes. Does it tell an odd story Certainly. And I have always thought it should be a movie, too. With proper padding and makeup, Kurt Russell could again be Elvis.A man is ultimately his own father because he keeps growing, if he's lucky, and as he grows he's the only person there every damn day to help get past the rough spots. We become our own fathers, and we should, and we must raise ourselves, even when a biological father has been there, but even more so when one has not. In the end we are solitary creatures. We're alone. The smart ones will make alliances and coalitions with others to make the trip sweeter and kinder, but it's a long and solitary trip and in the end the partners we make can't get us across the last barrier. That we have to do for ourselves.Michael Loyd Gray.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'The authority of moral law is universal and obligates all. Morality and law are the fundamental condition for social order. States and nations are built upon law, without which they perish.'-John Paul IIWhile each presidential assassination was a tragedy, the last was most egregious involving conspiracy among politicians, military, corporate CEOs and organized crime. Sixty-six percent of Americans did not believe the official government report that one man acted alone in the assassination. Substantial credible evidence points to a cover up by both elected and appointed officials. Coup D'etat explores the premise of Mafia involvement and answers the question, what if he lived. What if he exposed them In all of history there has never been a nation quite like the United States. America's founders had a specific purpose in mind when they crafted the words that would guide the government of the new republic. They created a form of government that has become the envy of the world. In the United States, the people elect their leaders, who govern within constitutional guidelines. If the people don't like the way a leader governs, they can remove him peacefully through recall or at the next election.In congressional districts all over the United States, a handful of people continue to elect politicians who probably would not make it to office if more Americans voted. In the election of 2000, the country was nearly torn apart when the election came down to a 561-vote difference. Having risked their lives and fortune standing up against repressive England, America's forefathers would probably not be pleased to see what their dream has become. 'Morality and law are the fundamental conditions for social order.' Have we become so polarized that murdering a leader we disagree with is acceptable.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The biblical principles found in The 7 Minute Spiritual Manager simplify spiritual management and increase spiritual reactions and reaction time when incorporated with the basic concepts of management. The book serves as a resource and an assessment tool.The seven-minute spiritual manager establishes a spiritually intuitive action plan for goals and objectives which lead to purpose; and decrees to the soul that as a result of spiritual practice (obedience), God will initiate and support thoughts and actions which will produce optimum outcomes in spite of obstacles and difficult situations. The spiritual manager strives for spiritual consistency and avoidance of flesh-laden distractions to close the time gap between events, thought for resolution, and spiritual reaction. The Bible, as the foundation of a spiritual action plan, serves as a resource for supporting and assessing progress towards godly purpose. The spiritual manager, unable to remove completely the burden of sin from worldly surroundings, empowers the soul to contradict the appeal of sin (wrong choices) to our weakest points. He or she invalidates and lessens sinful opportunities while maximizing spiritual production. The spiritual manager's ultimate goal then evolves from one of satisfying a temporary need, to attaining ongoing spiritual enlightenment and fulfillment.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - A series of analyses of the literary structure and thematic contents of the Book of Genesis was undertaken to enhance the understanding and appreciation of how this sacred text was written. Dozens of specific patterns have been revealed, which the writers of this classical text had incorporated and studiously followed to effectively construct the series of intertwining stories that have proven so popular over the millennia. Patterns observed include those involved in story structure; in specific locations for placement of genealogies, stories of sexual misconduct, and tales of divine intervention; of presence and variations of multiple parallel stories and of doublets; of alternating major and minor stories; of themes and variations; of conversational techniques, etc. The ancient authors' use of repetitive words, repetitive phrases with inversions, presence of keywords, placement of multiple action verbs to quicken the pace to conclude stories, revealed in Patterns of Genesis, all with appearing referenced verses, contributes to the object of this study.…
