Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A panicked puppy in a Los Angeles shelter is deemed too terrified for adoption and scheduled to be killed. When a rescue volunteer frees her at the last minute, the little girl is 15 pounds underweight and covered with open sores, swollen ticks and thousands of fleas. Her ears are stuffed with blood and wax, her paws filled with concrete. The victim of severe neglect and confinement, her muscles are atrophied - even her tongue lolls in her mouth. It hurts her to walk more than a few feet, and she limps. She has chewed and licked through the skin on her limbs. Physical ailments can heal, but the greatest challenge will be to overcome what life has taught her about humans: that they are to be feared. Named Roo, the puppy is randomly assigned to a volunteer foster parent with neither special skills nor experience with fearful dogs who writes that he is, just as scared as she is. Notes from a Dog Rescue in Progress is the emotional and inspiring true story of Roo's journey and the powerful bond formed as she and her foster parent develop the trust and understanding to address her fears and problems one at a time in an attempt to redeem an unredeemable dog. …

"I was not prone to drastic actions.   I did not rush into the unknown.  After fifteen years as a more or less effective lawyer, I approached decisions with a certain caution.  I weighed not only the pros and cons, but also examined all likely consequences and reasonably foreseeable risks.  Looking back, I wondered what could have prompted me to take those initial steps down a path that would alter the course of the rest of my life armed with only an optimistic hunch and knowledge that turning back was not an option."   Minnesota-born lawyer, Jeff, and his partner, Dean, enjoyed a successful and fashionable life in London. They shopped at Harvey Nichols, walked their dogs in Kensington Gardens, and vacationed in France and Tibet. Yet, they dreamed of a new life. In January, Jeff was promoted to a coveted position at his bank; in March, he resigned. Jeff and Dean sold their house, packed the dogs, and moved to the sleepy resort town of Hayward, Wisconsin, where they acquired a nostalgic ice cream shop and rundown Victorian mansion.   Scoop: Notes from a Small Ice Cream Shop is the chronicle of Jeff and Dean's first year in Hayward--how they are welcomed by a collection of colorful characters and how they are humbled by the challenges of operating both the ice cream shop and a bed and breakfast. It is also a story of Hayward and how the traditions and the stories of those who built the town helped our entrepreneurs adjust to the rhythm of life in their new home.     Jeff Miller was born in Browerville, Minnesota. He spent years as an international lawyer in New York, Hong Kong, and London. Since 2005 he has lived in Hayward, Wisconsin, where he operates West's Hayward Dairy and McCormick House Inn.…

Zustand: Very Good. Global governance has a major impact on the lives of people around the world. However, traditional theories of legitimacy were usually developed for states and are not suitable for the diversity of global governance institutions that exist today. This book first develops a normative concept of legitimacy that is applicable to all political institutions. According to this concept, to regard an institution as legitimate means ascribing it the right to exercise its function in political practice. Secondly, the book discusses how the use of this concept opens up new perspectives in the debate on legitimacy criteria for global governance institutions. In this context, the book analyses the relationship of legitimacy to the values of justice and democracy and discusses the role of feasibility constraints and the all-affected principle in legitimacy judgements. The concept of legitimacy as the right to function opens up the conceptual space to accommodate the insight that legitimacy criteriaare not the same for all global governance institutions, but depend on their function and context. Thirdly, the book applies the developed theoretical framework to a specific global governance institution, the G20.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. When Laura Pratt's long-distance partner of six years tells her 'it's over' at a busy downtown train station, she is sent reeling, the breakup having come out of the blue. Her partner, meanwhile, closes himself off, refusing to acknowledge Laura and her requests for explanation. In the following days, months, and then years, Laura struggles to make sense of this loss, alone and filled with questions. She mourns him and takes comfort in whatever reassurances she imagines the universe is sending her, and in identifying value for her ordeal under every rock she flips. Here, Laura bares her soul as she brings alive the ups and downs of heartbreak - the recalled highs of when the relationship was in full, mutual bloom, and the long-time lows of her solitary vigil for Sam. Seeking to understand this freefall and how so many before her survived it, she draws on forces across time and form and uncovers literary, philosophical, scientific, and psychological accounts of how we human beings fall in love in the first place, and why, when it ends, some of us take longer to get over it, or never do. Effortlessly, Laura Pratt weaves this background of cultural history with her own bracing story of heartbreak and loss, and offers the heartbroken some solace in the common experience. Imbued with Laura's longing, erudition, and hard-earned wisdom, Heartbroken dares to delve into this most universal of mortal ordeals perhaps the one that makes us the most human of all.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Life is Grand, Baby (Notes on Performing) by Paul Toshner.Memoirs and insights on the intimate performance of song from a real-life Piano Man. Paul is an all-round entertainer: speaker, piano looper, and singer. He took classical voice lessons for three years with Lidea De Rosa and piano with Jim McDowall in Glasgow. The rest he picked up on the road to where we are now. Paul has honed his Life Is Grand, Baby show, book and album after developing a repertoire in various London West End hotel residencies; four hours a night, four nights a week, for three years. As well as stints in European ski season hotel piano bars, and East coast USA concerts. I really did write it for myself, I can say that with total honesty. For the first time I'm sharing secrets I've built up over the years as a concert act, a lounge act, piano-bar act, a shopping-center act, a restaurant act. Added to these are some more personal m moire-like moments and lessons learned. I have been inspired by the American way of doing things. One such attitude is to pay it forward. I hope my book brings a deep and practical understanding and improves the lives of those who listen to you, and that you go places and enrich people who might be melancholy with a word, or a song, and a smile. I address the need to be concerned with the way something is delivered, as much as what and where it's being delivered.This book is for the front man, or the soloist. Someone who takes responsibility for the flow, pace, structure, material selection, engagement and many dynamics relating to audience relationship. It would never have existed had I not lost so many bookings because of Covid-19, or without the support of my wife Tamar.I started off life as a musician playing piano in Princess Square, a classy Glasgow shopping center. I moved on to local hotel lobbies (The Grosvenor and the Albany). But it all started when I got to cover for a job in Denmark for a friend who played in The Baby Grand called Danny Thompson. He couldn't do the gig and offered it to me. There I met another piano player and he introduced me to his agent. It went from there to piano bars in Denmark, ski resorts in Klosters and St. Moritz Switzerland.Life is Grand, Baby A book, a show and an album that reflects finding joy in the midst of sorrow.I hopefully deliver an uplifting exposition on the brighter and darker sides of life (while how to see the positives).Set on a backdrop of material mostly by Billy Joel and my originals (which sometimes go down best of all), plus songs by: Danny Kaye, Bob Dylan, Pavarotti, The Beatles, James Taylor, Coldplay, Garth Brooks, Elvis, Opera with original lyric adaptations, plus an inspirational story or idea from my book Life is Grand, Baby when I also usually give away a signed copy. An invaluable tool for anyone and everyone in the entertainment industry. You will gain insight and inspiration from this important work. -Yechiel Spero. Author. He sports a white fedora, speaks in a distinctive Scottish accent. With a friendly, bubbly personality that lights up the room.-Baltimore Jewish Times. An instruction manual about how to do a good performance, it speaks to me. Very well written thoughtful stuff, fascinating. -Avraham Rosenblum, The Diaspora Yeshiva band. I wish I'd have met Paul Toshner 30 years ago, he has taught me many things about the world. about work, gals, money, investment, how to deal with people under any circumstance, fairness, kindness, hard work, consistency, the value of perseverance, the importance and the guts to destroy your own work, if necessary, in order to start up again from zero, just to upgrade that 'little' notch, the absolute always essential tool of not taking things too seriously, specially, and more particularly oneself -Mesoud Benasuly.
