Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Part of the TED series: When Strangers Meet Our lives are increasingly insular. We are in a hurry, our heads are down, minds elsewhere, we hear only the voices we already recognize and rarely take the effort to experience something or someone new. When Strangers Meet argues for the pleasures and transformative possibilities of talking to people you don't know. Talking to a stranger pulls you into a shared humanity, it's a source of creative energy, it opens your world, it cements your relationship to the places you live and work and play, it's a beautiful interruption in the steady routines of our lives. Talking to strangers wakes you up. But who is a stranger Many of us have a deep-seated belief that strangers are dangerous. That idea cripples us and prevents us from connecting with the wider world. Exploring the rich meanings that are conjured up in these experiences of fleeting intimacy, Stark renders visible the hidden processes by which we decide who to trust in passing, and the unwritten rules by which these encounters operate. When Strangers Meet teaches readers how to start talking to strangers, and includes adventurous challenges for those who dare.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu.

A gripping, page-turning narrative about Russian power and prestige, the book depicts a cool and calculating leader with enormous ambition and few scruples. As the world struggles to confront a newly assertive Russia, the importance of understanding Putin has never been greater.Vladimir Putin rose out of Soviet deprivation to the pinnacle of influence in the new Russian nation. He came to office in 2000 as a reformer, cutting taxes and expanding property rights, bringing a measure of order and eventually prosperity to millions whose only experience of democracy in the early years following the Soviet collapse was instability, poverty and criminality. On the other, Putin has ushered in a new authoritarianism - unyielding in its brutal repression of dissent and newly assertive politically and militarily in regions like Crimea and the Middle East.

It wasn't until he arrived as a recruit in the Navy years later that he realized that this well-dressed man had never taken the time to teach Antwone himself even the bare necessities. As he tried again and again to tie the Navy's required half-Windsor knot, Antwone had trouble concentrating on the tie while thinking angrily, "A boy ought to know how to tie a tie." Since that day, he has faced many similar moments, encountering seemingly small but incredibly frustrating obstacles in his daily life that could have been avoided. A father figure could have taken a few moments to teach him the basic skills necessary to be well-groomed, stylish, presentable, and an adequate reflection on the outside of the man he was becoming on the inside. A Boy Should Know How to Tie a Tie is a unique hybrid of practicality and personal. He shares stories from his own boyhood and adolescence, relating the hurdles he encountered throughout his journey into adulthood, a transition hampered by basic skills he never learned growing up. Fisher not only teaches the basics of personal style and hygiene, he shows how honesty, courtesy, and education are key components for self-improvement, and above all, imparts the importance of developing one's spirituality and giving back to one's community. Now a highly accomplished, self-made man, Fisher was once forced to learn all these same lessons the hard way: trial and error, perseverance, and sheer determination. As a result, he has dedicated himself to teaching future generations of boys how to be menin turn, becoming the strong and compassionate father figure he had always dreamed of having.

Bush 'How's your faith ' David's answer was just emerging.

He's gone deep into Bible study and asked tough questions of America's most thoughtful religious leaders, including evangelical preacher Joel Osteen and Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the Catholic Archbishop of New York.

David approaches his faith with the curiosity and dedication you would expect from a journalist accustomed to holding politicians and Presidents accountable. But he also comes as a seeker, one just discovering why spiritual journeys are always worthwhile'.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - "A fascinating political, racial, economic, and cultural tapestry" (Detroit Free Press), Once in a Great City is a tour de force from David Maraniss about the quintessential American city at the top of its game: Detroit in 1963.Detroit in 1963 is on top of the world. The city's leaders are among the most visionary in America: grandson of the first Ford; Henry Ford II; Motown's founder Berry Gordy; the Reverend C.L. Franklin and his daughter, the incredible Aretha; Governor George Romney, Mormon and Civil Rights advocate; car salesman Lee Iacocca; Police Commissioner George Edwards; Martin Luther King. The time was full of promise. The Detroit auto industry was selling more cars than ever before. Yet the shadows of collapse were evident even then as urban decline and racial tension simmered beneath the surface. "Elegiac and richly detailed" (The New York Times), in Once in a Great City David Maraniss shows that before the devastating riot, before the decades of civic corruption and neglect, and white flight; before people trotted out the grab bag of rust belt infirmities and competition from abroad to explain Detroit's collapse, one could see the signs of a city's ruin. Detroit at its peak was threatened by its own design. It was being abandoned by the new world economy and by the transfer of American prosperity to the information and service industries. In 1963, as Maraniss captures it with power and affection, Detroit summed up the American Dream of prosperity that was already past history. "An encyclopedic account of Detroit in the early sixties, a kind of hymn to what really was a great city" (The New Yorker).
