Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Decide today to succeed in business and in life, it's easy when you know how.Wes Berry built a remarkable $60 million-dollar international business from his family's small florist shop, which began in Detroit. Now, in his extraordinary new book, he shares what he has learned over the years about leadership and business growth. In many businesses that fail, the small things are overlooked; they are the things that are often the easiest to implement, but at the same time they are easy to forget. It's these small things that have the greatest impact in the long-term.Neglecting small things can be the difference between failure and success. Gleaning from his personal endeavors in business, Wes instructs and encourages you to take full responsibility as a leader. Drawing on insights from great leaders throughout history, he guides you through the key tasks that made them successful-tasks that will enable you to find complementary employees and associates whom you can help develop in the very same way. With each turn of the page, you'll gain knowledge from strategists such as Sun Tzu, General Douglas MacArthur and Sam Houston that will help you grow in business as well as life. Everyone has to start somewhere in this great game of Business and Life. As Wes himself has learned, those Small Beginnings often inexorably lead to some mighty Big Things Wesley Berry started working at his family's Detroit-based florist shop when he was just a teenager. He quickly demonstrated a strategic style of management that propelled it from a $60K per year business to a $60 million-dollar international business operating in 130 different countries. In 2016, after 40 years in business, he sold it to retire and follow other passions.Through the years, he's provided consulting services to over forty businesses and has appeared as a guest on NPR, The Wall Street Journal, The London Times, Entrepreneur and Time magazines, Fox News, Neil Cavuto, Geraldo Rivera, and John Stossel, to name a just few.As Wes says, The Big Things-the successes-all start with some very small beginnings.If you want the Big Things to come your way, read this book and be the one who wins the Great Game.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Brooklyn Beginnings is more than the world of Flatbush, Central Park, the Atlantic Ocean, and its many geographic mentions-it is an honest expression of a woman's life beautifully told-every poem is an interior meditation, as though a collaboration with the Divine, harvesting memory, ruminating, observing, recalling anecdotes, revealing a life of reverence. Each line we know to be true with a voice incapable of artifice. I don't know when I've read a work where every fragment radiates so wholesomely-with language so clear-by someone who says everything she thinks- and stories unchanged by time's imagination. This is why I believe Brooklyn Beginnings is a masterwork and a triumph. Grace Cavalieri, Maryland Poet LaureateEdgar Allan Poe once claimed that readers of literature are seeking a "heart revealed." Carolyn Grassi's memoirs in poetry shine because they not only reveal her heart but fascinating glimpses into her soul. Ron Hansen, author of Mariette in Ecstasy and other booksThe evocative mixture of memory, dream, spirit, and beautifully observed nature reveals the trajectory of a sensitive soul, from childhood to maturity. Rich in image, these are poems to which the reader will return time and again. Deborah O'Grady, renowned Photographer & Videographer In these poems the writing is immersive and engaging, eliciting close reading to catch the voice-- a consistent, coherent voice recollecting and meditating upon lived experience. The theme I make out is Spinoza's deus sive natura, or Teilhard de Chardin: the divine manifesting itself in nature. At their finest, as in A Call To The Commons, the poems attain the sort of cosmic imagination or consciousness that we are so much in need of right now.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A Contemporary Classics hardcover omnibus of the complete fiction of one of the most gifted writers of the Harlem Renaissance, including her most famous novel, Passing Throughout her short but brilliant literary career, Nella Larsen wrote piercing dramas about the Black middle class that featured sensitive, spirited heroines struggling to find a place where they belonged. Passing, Larsen's best-known work, is a disturbing story about the unraveling lives of two childhood friends, one of whom turns her back on her past and marries a white racist. Just as disquieting is the portrait in Quicksand of biracial Helga Crane, who is unable to escape her loneliness no matter where and with whom she lives. Race and marriage offer few securities here or in the other stories in this compulsively readable collection, rich in psychological complexity and imbued with a vibrant sense of place. Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket. Contemporary Classics include an introduction, a select bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life and times.…
