Paperback. Zustand: Good. Coach's Hue is a tale of mystery, heartbreak, adventure and heroism: a new and hybridized being is formulated from Mother Nature's perseverance to survive humanity. A natural mystic guides Coach throughout his journey as humanity continues to ignorantly ravage the Earth with no regard for the negative effects and byproducts it produces along the way. In order for Mother Nature to persist, she is forced to take matters into her own proverbial hands. Born of The Great Smoky Mountains, Coach possesses several nature-derived abilities that he enacts with the people who support him as catalysts in his unique life. Just like the good comes with the bad, cause has an effect, and yin always has a yang. Coach must ultimately release what he absorbs throughout his journey. Coach is perpetually guided by Mother Nature and his antics are charming for most of the people he encounters, but not everyone is swayed by such exuberance. As life continues to unfold for Coach, the environment is deteriorating due to human negligence. This story is very humane whilst proportionately mysterious, and it possesses significant parallels to humanity's current and collective relationship with its environment. Everything we do as a species has an impact on the environment we all live within. The human species is meant to coexist harmoniously with the Earth. Yet, somewhere along the way this principal was lost. Mother Nature must be cruel to be kind. Nowak, Veronica (illustrator).…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Engineered Irony, a 150th commemorative edition, revisits civil engineers Octave Chanute and George Morison's greatest achievement to 1869-the completion of the Hannibal Bridge-and their 1870 report, The Kansas City Bridge. Kansas City, Missouri, has enjoyed its Heart of America moniker for generations. The Hannibal & St. Joseph Railroad, after years of negotiations and political machinations, chose in 1867 to span their historic bridge-the first ever to cross the Missouri River-at Kansas City, then known as the City of Kansas and formerly the Town of Kansas. The Hannibal Bridge MADE Kansas City, Missouri Vol. 1 (blue front cover) is a reprint of Chanute and Morison's 1870 report on the construction of the bridge, together with a newly developed biography of Chanute by Bill Nicks, and an essay on the importance of the bridge to civil engineering by engineer Brian Snyder. Vol. 2 (red front cover) is the culmination of David W. Jackson's decade plus effort to compile this sesquicentennial souvenir highlighting archival resources identifying nearly 1,500 individual skilled laborers and contractors-including five who lost their lives in the venture-who achieved a modern miracle between 1867 and July 3, 1869. During that Independence Day weekend fete, 30,000 spectators from across the Midwest descended upon the fledgling City of Kansas to celebrate the remarkable moment on the Missouri Riverbank. Another feature of Engineered Irony is a comprehensive gallery of all the known images of the Kansas City Bridge (aka. the Hannibal Bridge) from 1867 to 1917, when the bridge was replaced by its descendant, the Second Hannibal Bridge.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. -- Do you use a mobile phone? -- Do you use credit cards or debit cards? If so, you need to know that a revolution has started that will impact you sooner than you think, and this book will tell you - the consumer - what you need to know now. The reality is that a torrent of advertising and promotional marketing is heading your way to try to convince you to use new services on your SmartPhone at retail stores. Perhaps you have already seen some, or signed up for some. These new services may seem novel, but this revolution is far more significant than that. At stake is the future of the credit card system that moves over $11 Trillion per year from consumers to retailers. Some of the largest companies in the world think this system should change, starting now. Other, equally large companies think everything should stay the same. These two sides are already lining up on a battlefield, with you standing in the middle. And, if you are not careful, the first casualty will be your privacy. Find out what is happening, how it may effect you, and what you can do about it. Read The SmartPhone Wallet - Understanding the Disruption Ahead. PRAISE FOR THE SMARTPHONE WALLET: David Schropfer's consumer-focused look at the emergence of mobile payments is unique and refreshing. At Morris Advisors, we believe the keys to the mobile commerce kingdom are not in the hands of banks or wireless carriers. Consumers and merchants are ultimately the most critical stakeholders. Mr. Schropfer clearly articulates for us the consumer value proposition for mobile payments. I particularly enjoyed his thought provoking description of how wireless carriers could potentially deliver enhanced value for consumers while bypassing some of the incumbent payments industry players. A great read. Andrew B. Morris CEO & Founder, Morris Advisors, Inc. Chair, Alternative Payments Committee, National Retail Federation's Mobile Retailing Initiative The SmartPhone Wallet was a great read. The writing style made it an easy read. The content and perspective gave some very valuable insight into future trends of mobile payments. I can't wait for the next book in this series. -Meg Collin Global Telecom Procurement and Sourcing Expert You're bombarded with information about mobile financial services that either expect you to know it all or treat you like a child. In other words, if you are like most of us then The SmartPhone Wallet is a book for you. The book will take you through the basics of payments, mobile networks, the intersection where they meet, and what this convergence can mean to you. A light yet substantive read, in the Scientific American style, will educate you enough so that you can draw your own conclusions and make your own decisions about the soon-to-be-offered products and services. Learn the history, the present, the trends; what is important and what is not. Know the risks, the costs, the business side and the technical side - enough to benefit you and help others to make the right decisions. -Mirek Kula Co-Founder and CEO, REC-ORDER, LLC Just as credit and debit cards have largely displaced cash and checks, mobile wallets will surely displace physical payment tenders. The adoption of mobile wallets will be driven by consumer convenience and value. In The Smartphone Wallet David Schropfer outlines the background and evolving shifts in technology, financial services, and consumer preferences that converge to provide the mobile wallet, the next generation of electronic payments. This is a good read for anyone in the payments ecosystem. -Anand Goel Optimized Payments Consulting.…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. In Earth in Mind, noted environmental educator David W. Orr focuses not on problems in education, but on the problem of education. Much of what has gone wrong with the world, he argues, is the result of inadequate and misdirected education that: alienates us from life in the name of human domination; causes students to worry about how to make a living before they know who they are; overemphasizes success and careers; separates feeling from intellect and the practical from the theoretical; deadens the sense of wonder for the created world. The crisis we face, Orr explains, is one of mind, perception, and values. It is, first and foremost, an educational challenge. The author begins by establishing the grounds for a debate about education and knowledge. He describes the problems of education from an ecological perspective, and challenges the "terrible simplifiers" who wish to substitute numbers for values. He follows with a presentation of principles for re-creating education in the broadest way possible, discussing topics such as biophilia, the disciplinary structure of knowledge, the architecture of educational buildings, and the idea of ecological intelligence. Orr concludes by presenting concrete proposals for reorganizing the curriculum to draw out our affinity for life.…
