Paperback. Zustand: Good. As the industrialized world recovers from the great recession, we face an even graver economic threat. A structural shortage of qualified workers is creating a zero-sum labor market that is forcing communities to steal talent from each other in order to survive and grow. The cause of this impending economic disaster: a baby boom generation who didn't have enough kids to replace themselves, and an education system that has failed to properly prepare students for the new demands of today's market. Add to that 78 million soon-to-be-retired Baby Boomers who will go from high-earning producers to resource-sapping dependents, and the situation worsens. Any community unable to attract and hold talent will join a growing number of economically doomed places where economic development is impossible. This suddenly makes deciding where to live or invest a much higher-stakes game. In When the Boomers Bail, economic architect Mark Lautman details the causes of the problem, explains how it changes game and what you can do about it. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In the years following World War II, Irma Pallas and her family struggled to make their lives in bombed-out towns of Poland. Born in 1941 in what had been Germany, Irma and her family were 'stateless' after the war, neither German nor Polish. In 1955, the family escaped from behind the Iron Curtain and made it to West Germany. Through it all Irma grew and dealt with life as many of us know it: bad decisions, illness, partners who were jerks and internal family rivalries. Her story is filled with travel, adventure, spies and humor-one of her male companions used Super Glue to keep his teeth in place. Irma persevered, came to the U.S. and eventually found happiness and love. Ordinary Woman is the story of never quitting and finding joy in those 'ordinary' things in life: talking with friends, finding lost relatives, caring for pets, traveling and spending time with loved ones.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Raped: Memories of a Catholic Altar Boy is the brutally honest and horrifying story of one man's lifelong battle with evil. Larry Monte Jr. was raped by a Catholic priest beginning in 1972 when he was fifteen years old. The rapes went on for two years. Larry's mental anguish, shame and torment have lasted thirty-eight years, and will never go away. Larry's story looks behind the curtain of what priest sexual abuse really is and how it permanently destroys lives. In graphic, shocking and horrifying detail, Larry tells what the Catholic Church's man of God actually did to him in cheap motel rooms throughout the state of New Mexico and how it shattered his spirit and soul. An Albuquerque businessman, Larry has shunned the safety of clinical and sanitized terms such as 'sexual abuse' in favor of blunt, brutal, everyday language and detail. He hopes that in telling his story with such honesty the world will finally come to fully comprehend the absolute horror, degradation and evil that is 'priest sexual abuse.' He hopes also that the world, Catholics in particular, will wake up to this evil and demand that the Catholic Church and its raping priests be brought to justice.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Chicago, mid-1960s. Five seventh-graders, the Disturbers of room 204 at Our Lady of Grace Catholic School, are a menace to the nuns and to society. The Disturbers refuse to conform and they challenge the nuns' abusive authority and question idiotic rules at every turn. Of course they are routinely beaten silly by the nuns for their attitude of defiance.Outside of school the guys and their pals roam their blue-collar neighborhood at will, having fun and getting into trouble. Disturbers Row is a trip back to a time that no longer exists, a time when it was perfectly acceptable for nuns to beat up children, a time when kids were free to be kids and when they used their imaginations to dream, have fun, break rules and learn and grow. No adults needed, wanted or even interested.Join the Disturbers as they drive Sister Mary Zita and the other nuns insane. Join them as they play guns and war, hockey, baseball; as they fight, shoplift, smoke and have fun while crisscrossing their neighborhood and city. You'll have a blast. Florentino, Dan (illustrator).…
