Hardback. Condición: Fair. Published to coincide with Pope Francis's Year of Mercy and the Vatican's canonization of Mother Teresa, this new book of unpublished material by a humble yet remarkable woman of faith whose influence is felt as deeply today as it was when she was alive, offers Mother Teresa's profound yet accessible wisdom on how we can show mercy and compassion in our day-to-day lives.

Hardback. Condición: Fair. A magnificent wartime love story about the forces that brought the author's parents together and those that nearly drove them apart Marianne Szegedy-Masz k's parents, Hanna and Alad r, met and fell in love in Budapest in 1940. He was a rising star in the foreign ministry--a vocal anti-Fascist who was in talks with the Allies when he was arrested and sent to Dachau. She was the granddaughter of Manfred Weiss, the industrialist patriarch of an aristocratic Jewish family that owned factories, were patrons of intellectuals and artists, and entertained dignitaries at their baronial estates. Though many in the family had converted to Catholicism decades earlier, when the Germans invaded Hungary in March 1944, they were forced into hiding. In a secret and controversial deal brokered with Heinrich Himmler, the family turned over their vast holdings in exchange for their safe passage to Portugal. Alad r survived Dachau, a fragile and anxious version of himself. After nearly two years without contact, he located Hanna and wrote her a letter that warned that he was not the man she'd last seen, but he was still in love with her. After months of waiting for visas and transit, she finally arrived in a devastated Budapest in December 1945, where at last they were wed. Framed by a cache of letters written between 1940 and 1947, Szegedy-Masz k's family memoir tells the story, at once intimate and epic, of the complicated relationship Hungary had with its Jewish population--the moments of glorious humanism that stood apart from its history of anti-Semitism--and with the rest of the world. She resurrects in riveting detail a lost world of splendor and carefully limns the moral struggles that history exacted--from a country and its individuals. Praise for I Kiss Your Hands Many Times I Kiss Your Hand Many Times is the sweeping story of Marianne Szegedy-Masz k's family in pre- and post-World War II Europe, capturing the many ways the struggles of that period shaped her family for years to come. But most of all it is a beautiful love story, charting her parents' devotion in one of history's darkest hours.--Arianna Huffington, president and editor-in-chief, the Huffington Post Media Group In this panoramic and gripping narrative of a vanished world of great wealth and power, Marianne Szegedy-Masz k restores an important missing chapter of European, Hungarian, and Holocaust history.--Kati Marton, author of Paris: A Love Story and Enemies of the People: My Family's Journey to AmericaHow many times can a heart be broken? Hungarians know, Marianne Szegedy-Masz k's family more than most. History has broken theirs again and again. This is the story of that violence, told by the daughter of an extraordinary man and extraordinary woman who refused to surrender to it. Every perfectly chosen word is as it happened. So brace yourself. Truth can break hearts, too.--Robert Sam Anson, author of War News: A Young Reporter in IndochinaThis family memoir is everything you could wish for in the genre: the story of a fascinating family that illuminates the historical time it lived through. . . . Informative and fascinating in every way, I Kiss Your Hands Many Times] is a great introduction to World War II Hungary and a moving tale of personal relationships in a time of great duress.--Booklist (starred review).…

Paperback. Condición: Good. It is good to love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done. ' -Vincent Van GoghAs the future unfolds before us, it seems people are getting busier, more distracted, and less connected to the physical and spiritual world. This can be especially problematic for our relationships, as love is something that just does not magically exist on its own. It must be cultured, tended, and cared for as if it were a special garden unlike any other. Whether you desire to foster love, encourage remembrance, or express gratitude for the love you feel toward the known and unknown in your life, it can be done through the practice of mindfulness and crafting. Crafting Love is filled with thematic chapters meant to inspire your own journey in your expression of love. Create an 'I love you' notebook for your partner, anytime valentines for your friends and mentors, a conversation starter table cloth for your family, portable place shrines for natural places and animals, an 'I am' affirmation mandala for yourself, or a rhythm painting for the Divine. With the help of a few uplifting friends along the way, Maggie Oman Shannon will help you launch an exploration into your love of materials, love of the process, and love of everything and everyone around you through creating transcendent, one-of-a-kind projects with your own hands and heart.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Praise for The Power of Open-Book Management "The Power of Open-Book Management is the essential guidebook for every organization that wants all its associates to understand how they make and lose money--and that should be every organization." --Jim Kouzes, coauthor of The Leadership Challenge and Credibility Chairman and CEO, TPG/Learning Systems "Enabling a large group of people in an organization to work together in a coordinated way requires that they share an image and understanding of the system of which they are a part. This book offers a clear and pragmatic approach for doing just that." --Jeff Clanon, Executive Director MIT Center for Organizational Learning "The Power of Open-Book Management provides an answer to the age-old question: 'How can I get all my employees to act and think like owners?' It is a must read for anyone interested in how we will work in the future." --Tom Corbo, CEO MANCO "The Power of Open-Book Management offers a groundbreaking look at the benefits of interweaving good management and leadership within organizations." --Larry Spears, Executive Director The Greenleaf Center for Servant-Leadership Editor, Reflections on Leadership "Before you open your books, open this one!" --Rob Zicaro, Employee-Owner Web Industries "Widespread use of open-book management as described in this book is absolutely essential." --Robert B. Rogers, Chairman and CEO The Kauffman Foundation Today's most exciting new approach to increased employee productivity and superior financial results is open-book management (OBM). The unique, yet revolutionary, concept in this approach is simple: Teach employees the financial basics of business .trust them to make good decisions based on this knowledge .treat them as responsible stakeholders in the venture .and they will make significant contributions to their company's success. In fact, once equipped with OBM know-how, they themselves create a sustainable competitive advantage--a team of business-smart entrepreneurs. In The Power of Open-Book Management, managers will find a complete guide to understanding and implementing this compelling and innovative method of building, strengthening, and growing their organizations. Beginning with a thorough overview of open-book management, this engaging book describes the context from which OBM has emerged, why it is so urgently needed, and how it works. Featuring examples of companies like Sprint which have successfully implemented OBM, The Power of Open-Book Management presents a practical, step-by-step plan for bringing OBM into any organization, large or small. The authors cover all the essential areas: reward systems, involvement processes, communication, decision making, education, training, leadership, and accountability. Special resources in the final section of the book describe ways of sustaining OBM and making its benefits a permanent part of the company culture. Practical, comprehensive, and in many ways, inspirational, The Power of Open-Book Management gives executives, managers, and team leaders the tools for initiating a direct route to greater profitability and growth.…
