Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Written in the form of a memoir, Daedalus Falling is the 'autobiography' of Daedalus, the 'first maker' of ancient Greek myth - the first master craftsman, the first inventor of ingenious devices, the first man to create monumental sculpture, the first man to fly, the chief architect to the legendary King Minos of Crete and the builder of the labyrinth in which Minos housed the Minotaur. Imagining that this mythical 'Leonardo' was in fact the architect of the Palace of Minos at Knossos, this story is set in the middle of the second millenium B.C., fusing legend and myth with what archeologists know and what they surmise about the pre-historic Mediterranean world.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Acupuncture is a metaphor for life-- you find the point that is the most painful and drive a needle into it, piercing it with finely-honed consciousness. Randolph Mayer is a failed man in his own eyes. He had been an accomplished photographer and internationally known, yet at age seventy, he finds he has outlived his celebrity, his friends and worst of all his investments. For him, suicide is a reasonable solution. A young medical student inadvertently intervenes, robbing the old man of his graceful escape, and, as an act of contrition, decides to employ the legendary 13 GHOST POINTS of the ancient art of acupuncture to try and revive him. As each of the thirteen needles penetrates the old man's flesh, a memory held in that region of the body springs in vivid detail into Randolph's unconscious mind, allowing him to once again experience the passions in his past. GHOST POINTS is an end of life crisis, a story of how one man is allowed to retrieve the moments of his life that have been obscured by the passage of time and buried under the weight of disappointment, to understand, to know and to finally believe that he had not failed, but rather had the experience of a truly remarkable life. The ancient Chinese believed that the demons of memory are held in the body and can be retrieved by means of acupuncture. Kyle Randall believes it's worth a try to revive the old man whose suicide attempt he cut short. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - There are many words in Africa to describe 'elephant', whether it be in Lingala or many of the multitude of sub-Saharan native languages, however there will never be another 'N¿djoko' such as this one. He was by no means a forest elephant, although he shared that wisdom. His genes emanated from the heart of the Lado. He had the tall heavy frame of Angolan ancestry, and his tusks were heavier than any elephant that ever died climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro and whose tusks now rest in the British Natural History Museum. N¿djoko was a juvenile bull when Teddy Roosevelt first trekked and hunted East Africa. The huge animal was still a wise and powerful old man in 1971 when our paths crossed during his annual migration through the Congo forests. He survived wars, the automatic weapons of North Korean trained Congolese terrorists, and trophy hunters. He was too majestic for me to permit my clients to kill, no matter the incredible value of his single remaining monstrous tusk that would have been the world record at an estimated 232 lbs. N¿djoko lived on after our last encounter, and so far as is known was never intentionally destroyed by humans. Nor did his tusk ever surface during the last thirty-two years. This book is not just about a legendary loxodont. This work is an exciting adventure in an Africa that no longer exists. It is a capsule in time-gone-by when darkest Africa was on the cusp of change yet still had both feet in the savage, superstitious past; the native cultures had yet to be bleached to the level of Western mediocrity.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Susan Tiberghien¿s poetic memoir evokes a life fully lived and closely observed. In elegant prose and poetry, she presents the landscapes of her time with fresh eyes, gentle humor, and a generous spirit. The rooftops of Grenoble, the hills above Lago Maggiore, Geneva in its white fog, are the settings for a French-American romance, an international domestic tale, full of children and laughter, and at the end a new direction and revelation. Footsteps, A European Album is a wise book, and a pleasure to read. Peter Meinke, The Piano Tuner, Zinc FingersIn this album of wonderfully witty and poignant essays, S.Tiberghien captures stories from thirty-five years of family life in Europe. The collection describes a love story and from that matrix a meditation about many kinds of love. Light and dark days, funny and momentous ones are celebrated as faith and an energetic capacity for friendship define the family¿s cross-cultural path. The pages fly by and before we know it, the six children have grown. In the new silence, familiar footsteps insist that she write.WallisWilde-Menozzi, Mother Tongue, An American Life in ItalySusan M. Tiberghien, American-born writer living in Switzerland, has published two memoirs, Looking for Gold (Daimon Verlag, 1997) and Circling to the Center (Paulist Press, 2001) and many narrative essays in journals and anthologies. She teaches workshops for the International Women's Writing Guild and C.G. Jung Centers in the USA, and for the Geneva Writers' Group and writers' conferences in Europe.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - PROJECT SYNOPSIS 'Running The Corporate Rapids' My intention was to create a book on the organizational and psychological ramifications of transforming traditional corporate cultures into flexible, dynamic, agile business enterprises. This is not a new theme, in fact, much has been written on the subject by several authors. What differentiates this work from that of previous publications is that it is written from the perspective of someone that has been 'in the trenches' as both an operational CEO and a Business Consultant. Previous attempts at 'how to' books on this subject have dealt largely with the structural/organizational aspects of this transformation and have not effectively addressed the human behavioral component. In fact, in an article in the Wall Street Journal, an interview was conducted with the authors of Re-engineering the Corporation, Michael Hammer and James Champy in which The Journal stated 'But the book, for all of its theoretical elegance, glossed over the massive career disruptions caused by the process. Re-engineering work usually required fewer workers and far fewer managers. Managers resisted, stymieing many re-engineering efforts.' Both Hammer and Champy have agreed that they missed the significant component --- the people. This is the exact area that my book addresses. The book is a combination of theory, tools and practical application formulas punctuated with anecdotal stories from both operating and consulting experiences. This is a 'shirt sleeve', pragmatic guide to dealing with the problems, challenges and opportunities facing managers and executives in every day business situations. The message behind the book will be 'Creating a New Common Sense in Business.' In the past American business has, at best, given lip service to the concept of putting people first. We have been resource based enterprises (money, bricks & sticks, equipment, etc.) Today we have left the Industrial (resource based) Era, have transition. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Indeed, THE BEAST, 666 is a creative combination of pure, Standard English Language, African or, 'pidgin' English Language, the elements of the Kiswahili, Spanish words, and many other great languages, including the all-great French, all in a new literary enterprise. THE BEAST, 666 paints a world where everyone is a stranger---But, some strangers, in the strange world, act as if others were the only strangers in it. It is an eminently controversial novel--depicting trends and realities. It is a cave-like cult of fantasies, showcasing men who were once set up for good, only to release their raw, diabolic intentions. For example, a lot of the 'leaders', in the novel, are foolish: They are a bunch of empty egos, who play foolish games with the sacred lives of their fellow human beings.Indeed, they are deluded by power; and, they are incapable of swimming out from the political Ocean of power intoxication. And, when the voice of reason rings its sound bell, they would so arrogantly refuse to listen.Pride has become their altar of worship; and, they would hardly alter their ways, even when the light of wisdom has showered its rain of light, to re-direct them, from the obvious pit of darkness. …
