Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - About the Book: Though Adrien has been born with status and fame, he does not want any part of it. Warrior-by-birth, he seeks a quiet life not a warrior's path, wishing instead to be a writer. On the other hand, with legendary abilities when it comes to healing powers and magic, such gifts as Esme's, may become a danger not only to her but to the whole kingdom of Ostwyne, if let untrained. Strong-willed and defiant Esme along with passionate and brave Adrien have to take a journey of self-discovery packed with epic adventures and at times frightening forces. This is a tale of fearless young warriors who go through breathtaking and exhilarating journeys as they face their ultimate crossroads having to choose their unconventional path, which would definitely change their whole life forever and that of their kingdom. When called upon to fulfil their destinies and take their rightful places in society, Esme and Adrien are drawn into adventures that will touch their hearts and perhaps even scar their souls. With the kingdom's rules being against them and the narrow-mindedness of the people of Ostwyne, Esme and Adrian join forces to fulfill their eccentric and unique destinies. As dark disturbing secrets start to uncover, Adrien and Esme are forced into desperate battles and undesired circumstances to protect all that they cherish. With the odds weighing cripplingly against them, the price for their rebelliousness starts to unfold: either they lose themselves and risk their own destruction or they lose their loved ones.What will they each choose to sacrifice.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The history of mankind can partly be understood as the history of our blindness of our mental limitations!The three fundamental truths that we must face in order to survive/prevail on a long-term basis are as follows: 1. Everything is temporary, including Homo sapiens, his achievements, and his constructs. 2. We are-generally speaking-unwise regarding our conduct of the planet's sustainable state. We act, in fact, as its vermin, not as its guardians. 3. Only by transcending ourselves will we pass on our valuable and noble essence to our future upgraded children. Sabotaging this transformation will imply our species' decay and oblivion. Realizing these truths, what did the author of this book do He followed Rumi's words: 'Start a huge, foolish project, like Noah . . . It makes absolutely no difference what people think of you.'

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The title Descent into Darkness came to me several months before I started to work on the book. I felt inspired to write about a particular transition in my life at midlife. With several questions about my true purpose in life, my life path had come up. And I felt I needed to dive deep into unknown waters of emotion, desire, fear, and pain in order to find the answers. I had an intuitive sense that I was slightly off track and that something deep inside of me was not touched, and I felt something big missing in my life. I have decided to take the lid off and dive into the invisible, the unknown, and take the risks of either falling off the abyss or finding true freedom. I have found that writing has been my only way to stay sane in this process. And so I birthed this book.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Five of my narrating voices are male, middle aged to elderly. Their accents varyan East Coast American professor in Driving, Oxbridge is British with a tinge of Irish in Hippo Club, Mose Konen, and The Man in the Apple-Green Tie. And for the narrator of Ostraneni, the reader may imagine the dialect of a member of the elite of ancient fifth century BC Athens. Four of these monologues are in a female voice: the elderly womans aggressive/defensive voice of Gazelle came to me in a dream shortly after I had moved to New York City to live in the early 1980s, the naive voice of a Midwestern girl recounts a childhood trauma in Snakedoctors, a subdued young woman tells of her relationship to her parents in At the Lake House, and Bronze Age Greek accents of Ismenethe lonely, hysteric, forgotten princess of Thebes and sister to Antigonein the eponymous tragedy by Sophocles, again, invite imagination. That is how I hear them.

Malouf, is a volume of poetry full of great, honest emotion inspired by the poet s relationship with God s bounty in nature and in his love for his Greek Angel, Yiota.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - There is an alarming ignorance existing in our nation today, with respect to the most basic feature of its economic system. Granted, many understand that it is based on free enterprise and the profit motive. Also, more than a few would realize too that it is a system of commodity production, where such commodities are necessarily useful and exchangeable on the open market. Indeed, all commodities must possess these two essential characteristics. However, far too few understand that the power to labor is also a commodity, for it has use value, as well as exchange value. This is so because it is useful to the owner of the means of production and it is sold (exchanged) for wages on the open market. Among the millions of commodities, which total the (GNP) Gross National Product, labor power has a unique quality possessed by no other commodity. When used on raw materials and machines in the process of production, it can and does create a value in excess of its own. It alone is a commodity that creates surplus value. Both the famous economists, Adam Smith (Wealth of Nations) and Edward Ricardo, recognized this Labor Theory of value. Indeed, during the 18th and 19th centuries, it was the accepted view of the source of wealth. However, with the widespread exploitation of slave labor and the threat of reparations to the slaves that would logically follow once they were freed, the labor theory of value was gradually and deliberately replaced by the concept of value based on the free market of supply and demand. The only value received by the slave was the value of the commodities used to maintain himself-his food, clothing, and shelter (the basic necessities of life). The only value received by the Texas prison inmate is the same-food, clothing, and shelter (the basic necessities of life). Thus can be seen the enormous amount of surplus value, and hence wealth, that is produced by such control and exploitation of prison labor power. Not only is the prison class directly and adversely affected, but indirectly, also is the working class as a whole (which in the United States is more than 125 million people).

Buch. Zustand: Neu.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In the dying months of my seventy-eighth birthday in the year 2011, something clicked within me. I was remembering a historic undelivered letter and the private and painful burden I bore for a time to keep this letter undelivered. My reflections took me back to the 1985 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) held in Nassau, Bahamas. The Commission of Inquiry was looking into whether or not the first prime minister, Sir Lynden Pindling, had any involvement in drug-trafficking proceeds and was over in late 1983, and its outcome was almost and probably forgotten by the general population.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - My first point of view is the highlighting of Esther's preparation to become queen of Persia, just what the process entailed.Information pertaining to oil throughout biblical history alone with other ingredient derivatives was used in the preparation process for Esther.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Most of us aren't racist, sexist, or homophobic. Rather, we're just ignorant. We've spent our entire social and professional lives dealing almost exclusively with people who are just like us.

Id crawl no further wailing of my losses, thered be no miracle.
