Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Dante Alighieri, the medieval Italian lyric poet, has long been the province of right-wing scholars with conservative standards. However, recently, an English conservative prime minister changed all that (probably unbeknown to him) when he declared publicly that he believed in gay marriages because he believed in marriage, thus lifting the interdict on Dante's sexual identity, clearing it of the idealistic mist in which it had been clouded for centuries with the support of relevant texts susceptible of a loaded interpretation as if a sexual issue could demean such a genius or take anything away from the pathos of The Divine Comedy.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Nicholas wrote the poems in this book to satisfy his creative desire to use words, to form rhymes, and to tell stories. 'A Mind Full Of Poems; In This Present Moment' is his first collection of poems, inspired by the beautiful moments in life which we often take for granted. A lot of the poems in this book are directly inspired by mindfulness. Being mindful we let go of struggle and simply allow things to be as they are. By doing this and experiencing life with a 'beginners mind', we step out of autopilot and become more aware of the present moment. Nicholas' poems are wondrous, uplifting and humorous. There are some monumental poems detailing his visits to London and Manchester, and a very special moment in Amalfi Cathedral. The joys of cycling, discovering real ale, and taking an exhilarating dip in the sea at Whitby, are some of the magical things that Nicholas describes in stunning detail.

Her characters are rich and complex. Judge Not is one of those rare books that I couldn't put down, but at the same time didn't want to end.' -Heather Bruce, artist, Provincetown, MA'Is love really more comfortable the second time around Lee Lowry continues to draw wonderfully intricate portraits of people facing the very real challenges of late love, second marriage, and life's unexpected turns. In Judge Not, love is certainly wonderful, but addressing those challenges often feels like stepping gingerly through a minefield of triggered vulnerabilities, wounded feelings, and divided loyalties.'-Carol Deanow, Professor Emerita, School of Social Work, Salem State University, Salem, MA'Judge Not is about wishes granted and the price that must be paid.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Companies spend big money and significant resources to acquire new customers while they tend to give little thought about how to hold onto clients who are heading for the exits. That's a mistake. Businesses need to change their thinking on this front and retool their strategies to dedicate more time and effort to retain the customers they already have. They can do that by elevating the customer experience. The new book 'Taking Your Customer CareTM to the Next Level' explains how.Authors Nadji Tehrani and Steve Brubaker, both Customer CareTM experts, take readers on a journey that explores the importance of repeat business, and how to go the extra mile to keep customers coming back. The book looks at the role of content, leadership, listening, marketing, mobile, people, personalization, social media, training, and video in Taking Customer CareTM to the Next Level.Customer experience has become a hot topic in recent years, and companies are pushing the message that they are keenly focused on CX. But for all the talk about this subject, there are very few organizations out there today that deliver truly Next-Level Customer CareTM, Tehrani and Brubaker note in their new book. 'Ironically, as we searched for relevant experiences of companies with extraordinary Customer CareTM, we had great difficulty finding more than a handful of companies that have truly put the complete package together for Taking their Customer CareTM to the Next Level,' the authors write.The bottom line is that customers today, for the most part, simply are not being wowed by the companies with which they do business. There are, of course, a few rare exceptions to that rule. The book illustrates the first point by sharing actual case studies and examples of experiences that, the authors say, should be shocking if it weren't for the fact that poor customer experience has become the norm. More importantly, however, 'Taking Your Customer CareTM to the Next Level' looks at some examples of companies and other organizations that have done just what the book's title suggests.Among the companies noted in the book are Ace Hardware, Amazon, American Express, Apple, Disney, The Ritz-Carlton, Starbucks, Southwest Airlines, Wine Enthusiast, and Zappos. One of the top justifications for spending the time and money to implement a new strategy to deliver Next-Level Customer CareTM is that it's far less expensive to keep existing customers than it is to win and onboard new ones. That said, Tehrani and Brubaker urge readers, if your advertising budget line item is greater for customer acquisition than customer retention, you are fighting a losing battle. They emphasize the importance of putting more resources into existing customers, who as a result will stay loyal and even become advocates.Business owners and executives, the authors say, must lead by example to put the customers' needs at the forefront and develop incentives, policies, and training to match the needs of the customers. Indeed, Customer CareTM is about more than making the sale and then moving on. It's about cultivating long-term relationships.While systems like integrated CRM solutions, location-based technology, marketing automation, mobile apps, and omnichannel support can help make that happen, the bottom line is that businesses need to have the right people in place to deliver Next-Level Customer CareTM. By the right people, the authors mean people who are compassionate and helpful, and who have the information and skillsets to get the job done.'Poor customer relations cost companies nearly $41 billion each year,' Tehrani and Brubaker write. 'But this doesn't have to be the case. Preserve relationships by providing the utmost compassion for your customers and Take Your Customer CareTM to the Next Level.'.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Developed societies have world-class healthcare and good education. Both command a good portion of the budget and public interest. America has healthcare services that are the envy of the world. But education has been suffering over the past few decades as evidenced by our children's low scores on the international PISA Test when compared with other industrialized nations in math, science, and reading. Many blamed lack of funding, poverty, and minority students. Education powerhouses, Finland and Korea, regularly recruited their teachers from the top of their graduating class. Students were serious and studied hard; their parents were cognizant of the significance of education and set high expectations for their children. The society respected the teaching profession. Children were aware of their teachers' achievements; they were respectful and spared no effort to learn.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - There is no blueprint for grieving. There are not any steps, directions, or instructions to understanding our pain. There are no words of wisdom that can change our situation and no medicine to heal the wound left when our heart breaks. I cannot give you any advice or a recipe on how to grieve, nor tell you how long to grieve, how you should feel, or what actions to take to cope with your pain. I can only say that God does not make mistakes. I can also share with you my experiences, my journey, my faith, and my glory dance steps of life. Your season of being with the love of your life who has gone on to glory is over. Accept that and don't put a question mark where God has put a period. I can only tell you what God did to heal my pain, and what He did for me, He will do for you. This life He gave me is a present, and each day I wake up is me unwrapping that gift. If I hold a pity party rather than trying to discover what God would have me do, it sends a message to God that I do not appreciate His gift. Life's road bends, twists, goes up hills, into valleys, streams, rivers, over mountains, into pot holes, and around curves. Around the next bend may be heartache or happiness, pain or pleasure, sunshine or rain. Regardless of what lies around the next bend, God is always there, waiting with outstretched arms to either catch you if you fall or teach you how to fly. When you get to the end of your rope hand it to God, He will tie it around your waist and help you stand.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - During the reconstruction of the Ferri family Palazzo Baronale in Santa Caterina dello Ionio, Alfredo and his team found the memoirs of Gregorio Ferri from 1800's. The notebook detailed Jean Durand viscount de Villers' commission by Napoleon III to find Tommaso Campanella's Eagle Prophecy written in 1598 in the Dominican Convent of Santa Caterina. Tommaso Campanella (1568-1639), a world acclaimed philosopher and writer from Stilo, Calabria. He wrote the renown City of the Sun. Prophecies for Pope Urban VIII and French King Louis XIV. The prophecies were fulfilled and Louis XIV was the longest reigning monarch in human history. The Eagle Prophecy was alleged to predict the birth of an Eagle Prince on a Mediterranean Island, who would become a God of War, surpassing every previous military or political leader in the world to establish an empire that would stand for a millennium. Seeing that this prophecy would be a powerful political and religious tool for his campaign, Napoleon Bonaparte sent his brother, Joseph, King of Naples to find it. Joseph's expedition was unsuccessful, which eventually lead to the closure or destruction of almost every monastery in Calabria. Tommaso Campanella prophecies predicted the events from the year 1600 up to 2400 based on his own astrological observation. Even today's political and religious powers interpret his prophecies for their own interests and propaganda. In order to obtain the original manuscripts of the Campanella's works they will use any kinds of means.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Bracquemont provides an articulate analysis shaped by his experiences with many different Christian denominations, positive and negative experiences, a struggling working-class life, Asperger's Syndrome (on the autistic spectrum), and a positive faith that believes firmly that Jesus provides not only eternal glory for those who accept him in faith but that Jesus, the gospel, and the Bible can also transform both individuals and the world. Bracquemont believes that God fervently loves all his human creatures, that God cares about the whole of human existence, and that one should not have to choose between the eternal and social elements of the gospel but that both are important. His disability has caused him to appreciate both the social and eternal elements of the gospel. He also feels that the dichotomy between the social and eternal has resulted in an incomplete and imbalanced presentation of the gospel from both sides, to the detriment of both Christianity and the world. Though Jesus lived two-thousand years ago, his teachings, his love, his holiness, and his purity are just as relevant and needed as they ever were in the past. Jesus, in this sense, is indeed timeless and relevant to every generation. This book is about justice and charity alike; about faith (without which no person can please God) and virtue alike.…
