Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Life is governed by natural laws. They are as old as the hills, recalled a thousand times by many teachers both past and present. They are always presented new and fresh according to the times, cultural norms of society, and personal experiences of the teacher. In Laws of Life, author Donna Duffield shares a collection of these laws so that life will eventually become a moment to moment joy rather than a daily chore to endure.Gathered from years of fighting the dark and finally finding the light, these nuggets of wisdom address the problems human beings face every day including topics such as destructive habits, being judgmental, inner peace, growth, and compassion, the true meaning of karma and understanding suffering.Shared in snippets, the laws and the accompanying text demonstrate there is light at the end of every dark tunnel.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Although Asif Zaidi is a banker and a business leadership advisor by profession, he is fundamentally a thinker of broad understanding and interests.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The book chronicles the green card journeys of ten individuals. It recounts their experiences as most of them went from being law-abiding citizens in their home lands to living in America as fugitives, who are commonly referred to as illegal aliens. In the book, they are given fictionalized names that capture characteristics of their personalities or their struggles or where they came from.The purpose of the book is to give American-born citizens a glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of the immigrants world, which is completely foreign to most Americans. Despite what some may believe, only a small fraction of the estimated 11.3 million illegal aliens in the United States have committed any crime, other than being an illegal alien. The vast majority are law-abiding people who are just seeking a better life for themselves and their families. Though some may deny it, the American economy benefits from these immigrants willingness to do work that most Americans do not want to do, and the fact that they are paid very low wages and work without benefits helps American small businesses to compete and thrive in this new economy. Their faith, intelligence, ingenuity, and courage often result in extraordinary achievement, making America a land where the impossible can become possible. Their experiences often become inspiration for their offspring to actualize their own goals and dreams, helping to maintain Americas standing as the greatest country in the world.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Our Fox ancestry was covered in my earlier book, Growing with America: The Fox Family of Philadelphia. Now we turn to Ruth Martins side of the family. She had colonial ancestors in New England, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia with names such as Alden, Wolcott, Lay, Carbery, Hite, Manning, Blair, Warfield, Dorsey, and Neale. They all converged on our nations capital when it was first being built.Rather than repeat what others have done, this book attempts to bring many of these ancestors to life by examining, in some detail, their timeline and life circumstances. A personal letter, a detail in a will, or even some good DNA detective work can move that curtain hiding a vista of the past. I wanted to try to understand the challenges these people were facing, so different from today but still the same human responses at play. I have not hesitated to speculate as long as this is truly identified as speculation.It became evident that there were a number of overriding themes I wanted to cover: (1) the convergence of many diverse traditions and religions, (2) some personal stories that interested me, including some memoirs never before published, (3) discoveries resulting from genetic testing, (4) the familys interaction with slavery and the Civil War, and (5) recognition of earlier family research, setting the record straight where necessary.With the advent of full genome testing, it became possible to trace relationships in all branches of the familynot just the Fox male line or the all-female line. While quite haphazard in going back this far, this did tend to confirm what the books said about mothers family. Most significantly, however, it led to contacts with a few very knowledgeable people and to some fascinating new speculations.In a way, this is a sequel to the earlier book since more Fox family information has been uncovered both via genetic testing and by personal contact. …
