Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - What lies behind the badge when the uniform comes off and the officer is left alone with everything they have seen Beyond the. takes the reader inside the hidden world of police work through intense first-person stories inspired by real situations, professional experiences, and the emotional realities faced by officers every day.These pages reveal a side of policing that rarely appears in official reports or newspaper headlines: the uncertainty before opening a door, the silence after delivering devastating news, the split-second decisions that can change several lives, the fear that must remain hidden, and the cases that follow an officer home long after the shift has ended.Some stories explore danger and confrontation. Others focus on frustration, guilt, corruption, loyalty, exhaustion, and the difficult moral choices that arise when the law offers no simple answer. Behind every investigation, arrest, and emergency call, there is a human being trying to remain calm while confronting situations most people will never experience.This is not a glorification of police work, nor is it an attack on the profession. It is an honest, dramatic, and deeply human journey into its contradictions: authority and vulnerability, courage and fear, justice and doubt.The public sees the uniform. This book reveals the person wearing it.Perfect for readers interested in police stories, crime, human drama, moral dilemmas, and the unseen realities of demanding professions.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Most of the people who came to us were not possessed, some were suffering from illnesses no one had diagnosed, others were trapped inside families that needed to call every incomprehensible behavior a demon, and a very small number, fewer than any priest would ever admit publicly, made even the most experienced exorcists question what they believed about fear, faith, and the limits of reason.BEYOND: EXORCIST enters the rooms where doors were locked, families prayed in silence, and a priest had to decide whether he was facing an illness, manipulation, fraud, or something for which he could find no explanation, through thirty-six intense narratives told mainly in the first person by exorcists, priests, doctors, relatives, assistants, and investigators who still remember the cases that changed their lives, from young women who seemed to answer questions before they were spoken to people who knew impossible secrets, children confined inside religious institutions, communities that turned possession into a profitable business, and victims who discovered that the real monster was not always the presence everyone was trying to drive out.Inside these pages are cautious priests who demand medical examinations before beginning any ritual and others who act without authorization, men who enter a room convinced that their faith will be enough and leave trembling, unable to finish a prayer, exorcists who believe they witnessed a person's voice, expression, and physical strength change in the presence of a crucifix, doctors who find neurological explanations where a family saw something demonic, and victims whose lives were destroyed because no one listened to what they were trying to say before declaring that something lived inside them.Some cases end with a diagnosis, an arrest, or the exposure of a carefully constructed deception, while others leave questions that remain unanswered years later, because not every recording could be explained, not every room was truly empty, and not every priest telling his story is willing to accept that what happened was caused by fear, suggestion, exhaustion, or illness, several remain convinced that they stood before something that knew their names, their guilt, and memories they had never shared with another living person.This is not a manual of exorcism or a book that claims to prove the supernatural, but a narrative journey into the darkest, most controversial, and most human side of those who said they devoted their lives to confronting it, a collection of stories about faith and terror, but also illness, fanaticism, abuse, guilt, compassion, and decisions made in rooms where science, religion, and conscience did not always point toward the same way out.Because the real fear did not begin when the victim screamed, struck the walls, or rejected a religious object, it began when the person suddenly became still, looked directly into the priest's eyes, and spoke of something they should never have known.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Behind every financial transaction, there is someone who wins-and someone who pays the price.For years, the people telling these stories worked inside banks, brokerage firms, investment funds, private wealth offices, trading floors, and financial institutions around the world.They sold products they barely understood.They convinced cautious clients to take risks they never wanted.They moved markets, buried losses, manipulated reports, and watched companies collapse while bonuses continued to be paid.Some made fortunes betting against their own clients. Others helped turn retirement savings into commissions, financial disasters into 'market events,' and fraud into something polished enough to pass through a compliance department.BEYOND: BROKER takes readers inside the hidden machinery of international finance through thirty-six intense, fictionalized narratives inspired by documented practices, conflicts, crises, and ethical failures within the financial industry.From a retired woman persuaded to invest her savings in dangerous securities to a broker who destroys a client's account through excessive trading, these stories reveal what can happen when sales targets become more important than people.Across the United States, Spain, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Germany, Singapore, Hong Kong, Mexico, Italy, and other financial centers, the narrators confront a system where responsibility is divided among so many departments that no one appears to be responsible for the final result.Inside these pages, you will discover: - How vulnerable clients are identified and targeted.- Why complex products are often sold as safe investments.- How reports and company accounts can be manipulated.- What happens when banks move their problems onto their clients.- How market rumors and privileged information can create enormous fortunes.- Why financial fraud can survive even when everyone suspects the truth.- How bonuses, promotions, and commissions influence supposedly independent advice.- The personal consequences suffered by brokers, investors, families, employees, and entire companies.At the center of the book lies the growing shadow of Belladona Capital, a fictional international financial network connected to structured products, private wealth management, corporate financing, market intelligence, and operations that no individual employee fully understands.This is not a manual about investing.It is a journey into the moral distance between pressing a button on a trading screen and destroying someone's savings, company, retirement, or future.Some of the narrators regret what they did.Others still believe they were only following procedures.And a few understand that the most dangerous financial operations are not always the ones that break the rules-but the ones that pass through the entire system without anyone choosing to stop them.The market may close at the end of the day. Its consequences do not.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - What happens after the alarm sounds, the engines roar to life, and firefighters rush toward the danger everyone else is trying to escape FIREFIGHTER takes readers beyond the uniform and into the reality of one of the most respected-and misunderstood-professions in the world. Through powerful first-person stories inspired by real experiences, this book reveals what life inside the fire service is truly like: the adrenaline of entering a burning building, the fear hidden behind routine procedures, the weight of impossible decisions, and the memories that follow firefighters long after the flames have been extinguished.These are not stories about invincible heroes. They are stories about ordinary men and women placed in extraordinary situations.Inside these pages, you will witness devastating house fires, highway collisions, medical emergencies, failed rescues, unexpected acts of courage, and moments of dark humor shared between exhausted crews. You will also discover the emotional cost of the profession: the guilt of arriving too late, the faces that are impossible to forget, the strain placed on families, and the silent battles many firefighters fight away from the station.Some stories are told by veterans looking back on decades of service. Others unfold through the eyes of firefighters still carrying the physical and emotional scars of their work. Together, they create an intimate portrait of sacrifice, loyalty, fear, resilience, and brotherhood.FIREFIGHTER is not a technical manual or a collection of sensational headlines. It is a deeply human journey into the lives of those who run toward fire, tragedy, and uncertainty when everyone else is running away.Because behind every helmet there is a person.Behind every emergency call there is a story.And beyond every fire, something remains.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. What happens behind the closed doors of hospitals, emergency rooms, operating theaters, and consultation rooms?What does a doctor feel when a life depends on a decision made in seconds? How do physicians cope with exhaustion, loss, responsibility, uncertainty, and the constant pressure to remain calm when everything around them is falling apart?DOCTOR takes readers beyond the white coat and into the hidden human reality of medicine.Through powerful first-person stories inspired by real experiences, this book reveals a world most patients never see: endless night shifts, overcrowded emergency departments, impossible diagnoses, unexpected recoveries, medical mistakes, ethical conflicts, grieving families, difficult colleagues, and moments when science is no longer enough.These are not stories about perfect doctors or miraculous medicine.They are stories about ordinary human beings carrying extraordinary responsibility.Inside these pages, readers will enter emergency rooms where every second matters, operating theaters where a single complication can change everything, hospital corridors filled with fear and uncertainty, and consultation rooms where doctors must deliver news that will divide a family's life into a before and an after.Some stories explore the intensity of medical emergencies and life-or-death decisions. Others reveal the quieter battles of the profession: emotional exhaustion, burnout, sleepless nights, strained relationships, difficult patients, administrative pressure, fear of making a mistake, and the guilt that can remain long after a case has ended.A doctor may save hundreds of lives and still be haunted by the patient who could not be saved.A surgeon may complete a technically perfect operation and discover that the outcome is not the one everyone expected.An emergency physician may move from one tragedy to another without having time to process either of them.A young resident may begin a shift feeling confident and finish it questioning whether they are strong enough to continue.A physician may know exactly what should be done but find that the patient, the family, the hospital, or the system makes the decision far more complicated.Medicine is often presented as a world of knowledge, control, and certainty. In reality, doctors frequently work inside uncertainty. Symptoms can be misleading, treatments can fail, resources can be limited, and even the most experienced professionals must sometimes make decisions without knowing whether they are choosing correctly.DOCTOR also explores the relationships that shape medical life: the trust between doctor and patient, the tension between colleagues, the silent hierarchies of hospitals, the bonds formed during exhausting shifts, and the emotional distance many professionals develop simply to survive.There are moments of extraordinary courage and compassion.There are also mistakes, arrogance, fear, rivalry, frustration, and silence.Some doctors enter medicine because they feel called to help others. Others are driven by ambition, family expectations, intellectual curiosity, prestige, or the desire to overcome their own past. Many discover that the profession slowly becomes part of their identity, affecting how they think, how they love, how they sleep, and how they understand life and death.Through intimate, dramatic, and deeply human storytelling, DOCTOR reveals the emotional cost of carrying other people's lives in your hands.The book does not attempt to judge the entire medical profession through a single experience. Instead, it presents its contradictions: compassion and detachment, confidence and doubt, success and failure, science and instinct, hope and acceptance.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. For the audience, the circus lasted a couple of hours.There were lights, music, sequins, animals, motorcycles, trapezes, clowns, applause, and that strange feeling of stepping into a world where the normal rules of life no longer seemed to apply. Then the show ended, families went home, children fell asleep in the back seat still talking about the acrobat who had flown above their heads, and the fairground slowly disappeared into the darkness.But for the people who lived there, the night was far from over.BEYOND THE CIRCUS begins where the audience's experience ends.Inside cramped trailers where children grew up without ever really knowing what it meant to have a hometown, beneath rigging where performers trusted another person's hands with their lives, beside trucks that had to be loaded long after midnight, inside dressing rooms where a clown might paint on a smile minutes after receiving devastating news, and among families who spent decades moving from city to city because the circus was never simply their job.It was home.These pages enter the lives of trapeze artists, acrobats, animal trainers, clowns, motorcycle riders, riggers, drivers, mechanics, electricians, wardrobe workers, ticket sellers, cooks, cleaners, and countless others whose names never appeared on a poster but without whom the show could never have happened.There was beauty in that life.Freedom.Travel.Adrenaline.Friendships forged across thousands of miles.Children raised by entire communities.Birthdays celebrated in parking lots.Couples who spent forty years traveling side by side.People who discovered that family did not always mean sharing the same last name, but knowing who would stop their truck at three in the morning when yours broke down on the highway.But there was another side too.Bodies pushed far beyond their limits.Performers hiding injuries because missing a show could mean losing money.Painkillers that began as a way to get through another performance and sometimes became something much harder to escape.Alcohol.Drugs.Fear.Depression.Exhaustion.Relationships destroyed by constant proximity.Employers who controlled not only a worker's paycheck but sometimes their housing as well.Foreign workers who discovered that walking away was far more complicated when their bed, their income, and their transportation all belonged to the same company.And then there were the animals.For generations, lions, tigers, elephants, horses, camels, bears, dogs, and other animals were part of the traditional circus world. Some trainers spent more time with those animals than with their own families and genuinely believed they loved them, while years later some of those same people began questioning the methods, confinement, transportation, and traditions they had once accepted without hesitation.BEYOND THE CIRCUS explores those contradictions without turning everyone into a villain or pretending that the past was simpler than it really was.There are accidents.Falls.Fires.Mechanical failures.Storms strong enough to threaten an entire tent.Performers taken away in ambulances while preparations quietly began for the next show.There are people who learned to treat danger as normal because when your livelihood depends on doing something extraordinary every night, fear becomes something you learn to negotiate rather than eliminate.There are also families who had lived in the circus for generations and suddenly realized their children wanted something different.A university degree.An apartment.A permanent address.A life without loading truck Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
