Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. In the tradition of bestsellers such as Shoe Dog, Authentic is a surprisingly candid, compelling memoir by a high school dropout who went on to establish one of the world's most iconic brands.   You may not have known their creator, but you certainly know the shoes: for more than four generations, Vans shoes have been synonymous with cool.   Now in Authentic, a memoir written by Paul Van Doren and published just before his May 2021 death, the charismatic founder of Vans shares his story of heading West and capturing the American dream.     Authentic is a celebration of Van Doren's remarkable life and the iconic brand he built, beloved by skateboarders, creatives, and fans everywhere for its laid-back, colorful SoCal vibe, and famous for its people-oriented company culture.   In Authentic, he shares his unlikely journey from high-school dropout to sneaker-industry legend. A blue-collar kid with no higher education and zero retail experience, Van Doren started out as a 16-year-old "service boy" at a local rubber factory. Over the next few decades, he leveraged a knack for numbers, a genius for efficiency, and the know-how to make a great canvas tennis shoe into an all-American success story. What began as a family shoe business has today evolved into a globally recognized brand with billions of dollars of annual revenue.   Van Doren is not just an entrepreneur, he's an innovator. In 1966, when the first House of Vans store opened, there were no stand-alone retail stores just for sneakers. Paul's bold experiments in product design, distribution, and marketing (Why not sell custom shoes? Single shoes?), aided by legions of fans -- skateboarders, surfers, even Sean Penn wearing Vans' famous checkerboard slip-on shoe in the film Fast Times at Ridgemont High -- made Vans a household name. But there was also back-breaking work, a shocking bankruptcy, family turmoil, and a profound shift in how customers think about athletic shoes.   The book details Van Doren's personal life, but also hard-won business lessons learned over six turbulent decades in the shoe trade: the importance of deep-rooted values, of improvisation, of vision (and revision), and above all, of valuing people over profits.   Authentic is Paul Van Doren's written legacy and his lessons for the innovators of tomorrow.   Bracingly forthright and totally entertaining, Authentic is a business memoir by an American original.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. A beautiful gift edition of the heartwarming story that became the Christmas classic, It's a Wonderful Life. For almost seventy years, people the world over have fallen in love with Frank Capra's classic Christmas movie It's a Wonderful Life. But few of those fans know that Capra's film was based on a short story by author Philip Van Doren Stern, which came to Stern in a dream one night. Unable at first to find a publisher for his evocative tale about a man named George Pratt who ponders suicide until he receives an opportunity to see what the world would be like without him, Stern ultimately published the story in a small pamphlet and sent it out as his 1943 Christmas card. One of those 200 cards found its way into the hands of Frank Capra, who shared it with Jimmy Stewart, and the film that resulted became the holiday tradition we cherish today. Now fans of It's a Wonderful Life, or anyone who loves the spirit of Christmas, can own the story that started it all in an elegant, illustrated edition that's perfect for holiday giving. It includes an Afterword by Stern's daughter, Marguerite Stern Robinson, that tells the story of how her father's Christmas card became the movie beloved by generations of people around the world.…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Mondkind Manifestation von Selina Locke ist ein magisches Werk f r Frauen, die sich der spirituellen Tiefe und den Schatten ihrer Seele hingeben m chten. Mit poetischer Sprache, pers nlichen Erfahrungen, Ritualen, Reflexionen und intuitiven Impulsen begleitet dieses Buch sanft, aber klar durch eigene Transformationsprozesse. Es spricht jene an, die tief f hlen, aber oft nicht wissen, wohin mit ihrer Tiefe. Die nicht mehr funktionieren, sondern leben wollen - roh, echt und in Verbindung. In einer Welt, die Leistung ber Pr senz stellt, erinnert Mondkind Manifestation an das, was Frauen tief in sich tragen: Intuition, Verbundenheit, sch pferische Kraft. Dieses Buch ist mehr als ein Ratgeber - es ist ein Ruf zur R ckkehr. Dabei flie en auch Coaching-Tools ein, die Selina in ihrer Arbeit mit Klientinnen verwendet - Werkzeuge, die nicht nur Erkenntnis bringen, sondern echte Integration erm glichen. Geleitet von den zyklischen Phasen des Mondes offenbart sich eine neue Sicht auf Heilung und Manifestation - eine, die im Rhythmus der Seele schwingt. Es l dt dazu ein, nicht nur zu w nschen, sondern zu verk rpern - sich selbst in der Tiefe zu begegnen und die eigene Magie zu entfalten. Ein mystischer Begleiter f r jene, die bereit sind, ihre Schatten zu umarmen und ihre innere F lle zu erwecken.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Selected Poetry of William Wordsworth represents Wordsworth's prolific output, from the poems first published in Lyrical Ballads in 1798 that changed the face of English poetry to the late "Yarrow Revisited." Wordsworth's poetry is celebrated for its deep feeling, its use of ordinary speech, the love of nature it expresses, and its representation of commonplace things and events. As Matthew Arnold notes, " Wordsworth's poetry is great because of the extraordinary power with which he feels the joy offered to us in nature, the joy offered to us in the simple elementary affections and duties.".…
