This novel basically broaches the potential era when man-made time might have been wholeheartedly rejected. That is to say, Nanosecond neatly frowns upon the new and popular idea that every moment is worth it or vital. Greer renders searching for an unpoetic, untouched ground zero where human imagination can finally be taken seriously. Just as every second matters, every month, year, and ten years matter collectively or categorically. Greer kindly discovers that the present moment is, of course, future material in terms of the past; past material in terms of the future.A simple play of words, this book somewhat mends the fringes of faith and culture. A sure voice for environmental reform, Greer does offer space for elementary self-reflection amid the formal informalities we put up with daily. The finishing quote from the Bible's book of Revelation seems to be the final pitch for legitimate mysticism, newfound "eye" communication, authentic beginning/end, etc...

Suits and Skirts
Men, we're talking to you.The premise of Suits and Skirts: Game On! The Battle for Corporate Power is simple: Women have been seeking power equity for decades to no avail. Men are keeping women from attaining powerful C-Suite and boardroom positions to the detriment of corporate bottom lines. The reasons why vary, but the results do not; women are still highly underrepresented in leadership roles. Suits and Skirts is different than other books on this subject because it is a successful woman CEO speaking directly to the men blocking women's corporate advancement. This no-holds-barred discussion will ruffle many feathers. Now, Teresa Freeborn is demanding men immediately reevaluate their behavior and become women's advocates instead of adversaries. Freeborn is calling men out and demanding change.

Facilitating Successfully
What inspires you to be a better leader? Is it when you witness leadership in action? Maybe you've seen a dramatic turnaround in a sports team due to excellent coaching or a meeting of minds during a high- conflict team session at work. In today's environment of extremely fast change, being able to unify diverse groups is imperative to success. That's why having excellent facilitation skills is a major asset in any career. Acquiring the competencies of a top facilitator is both an exciting and challenging process. The objective of this book is to get you started on the path to being a facilitative leader. You will become skilled to perform several tasks: define facilitation, explore the skills and characteristics associated with facilitation, gain awareness of the responsibilities of a facilitator, identify the facilitative factors that cultivate group success. Whether you are facilitating your own work, managing a one-time event, or coordinating within your own work group, improving your skills in this role is a critical building block to career excellence.It's time to move forward in the facilitative process, beyond preparation and into your first direct communication with the entire group of participants. This journey plots the entire book of a meeting from the opening chapter to the final page. The section helps you separate meeting fact from meeting fiction, all the while telling the story of dynamic facilitative processes. The topics explore: five fundamental principles for beginning a meeting, strategic intervention: when, why, and how action planning and ending procedures. If you master the principles and practices in the next three topics, you are well on your way to effective facilitative leadership. Take advantage of the "how to" segments in the section. Each requires a level of mastery to guide others to accomplish their mission.A wise person once said, "The only way out is through." At some point as a facilitator, you will have to deal with challenging situations. In fact, periods of frustration, confusion, and even conflict are normal when working with a difficult problem or a lot of change. The degree to which you, as a facilitator, are willing to help a group through the tough stuff, is directly related to the success of your meeting or work group. In fact, it is one of your key functions. When people see a storm coming, they could: take cover and wait it out, change direction to move around the storm, put on rain gear and stay the book, get wet, and then decide on a book of action, complain about the weather.Have you ever used a shoe heel instead of a hammer to put a nail in the wall? Both work eventually, but which is most effective? Which takes less time? Which is less frustrating? Which is easier to use? While improvising is necessary at times, an effective facilitator wants to get the job done quickly without sacrificing quality. He knows which tool is best for each situation. He also knows what is in his toolbox. In this book, you will explore a variety of facilitator's tools and formats designed to help your team or work group achieve its goal. See each section for a brief description of it. Co-facilitation Techniques In Co-facilitation Techniques, you will explore the value of working with a partner to achieve team goals. Breakout Groups The Breakout Groups section demonstrates techniques to maximize individual participation and generate better solutions. Alternative Formats and Tools Alternative Formats and Tools provides some tips on interactive exercises to heighten team creativity and have some fun in the process.

Shaper
Why don't similarly talented people get the same results when doing the same activities? How can someone go from marginal to exceptional outcomes without changing environments?

Mr. Standfast
Mr Standfast is the third of five Richard Hannay novels by John Buchan, first published in 1919 by Hodder & Stoughton, London. In this nail-biting adventure story, Hannay must outwit a foe far more intelligent than himself; muster the courage to propose to the lovely, clever Mary Lamington; and survive a brutal war. Although Mr. Standfast is a sequel to The Thirty-Nine Steps, it offers far more characterisation and philosophy than the earlier book. For its pace and suspense, its changes of scenery and thrilling descriptions of the last great battles against the Germans, Mr Standfast offers everything that has made its author so enduringly popular.

In the third and final tale the fall of the town is detailed.
My Religion
Raised in the Russian Orthodox Church, Tolstoy lost his religion at 18. After a life of debauchery, in his early 50s, he wanted religion - or some source of intellectual security - back. Tolstoy notes that, whatever the faith may be, it "gives to the finite existence of man an infinite meaning, a meaning not destroyed by sufferings, deprivations, or death," and yet he is careful not to conflate faith with a specific religion. Tolstoy believed being a Christian required him to be a pacifist; the apparently inevitable waging of war by governments, is why he is considered a philosophical anarchist.

Practical Psychomancy And Crystal Gazing
Atkinson presents lessons on how to use and refine divination tools that are present in every human. He explains clairvoyance, psychomancy, psychometry and astral projections and how to use our "other" senses to gather information and impact outcomes in physical reality. New Thought" adherents at the turn of the 20th century vehemently believed they could tap into latent and mysterious mental powers, and one of the most influential thinkers of this early "New Age" philosophy offers here, in this delightfully weird 1908 work, a crash course in this benign and useful magic.

Reincarnation And The Law of Karma
Atkinson's book is a smart historical and philosophical reference through the ages of these two beliefs. Reincarnation as a belief makes the fear of death obsolete. According to its followers; death is nothing more than a state change and our spirit is an everlasting, immortal light, containing our birth right a slice of the divine. Karma and Reincarnation goes hand in hand. Most religions have a trace of acknowledgement of these ancient laws, except Christianity. The original Christian Gnosis, that predated organized Christianity still believed in Karma and Reincarnation, the early Church fathers made sure that such notions were eliminated and wiped out. Hence strengthening their positions and the political ties the church and the state had forged.

Captain Blood
Captain Blood: His Odyssey is an adventure novel by Rafael Sabatini, originally published in 1922. Sabatini was a proponent of basing historical fiction as closely as possible on history. Although Blood is a fictional character, much of the historical background of the novel is loosely based on fact. "Captain Blood" is a classic for good reason. Sure, it's a challenge for 21st century readers to wade through the archaic language of a novel written nearly 100 years ago, but Sabatini's mastery of characters and story makes the labour more than worth it. Barely escaping the gallows after his arrest for treating wounded rebels who were fighting the oppressive King James, Blood flees England and becomes enslaved on a Barbados plantation of buccaneers.
The Last Man
The Last Man is an apocalyptic, dystopian science fiction novel by Mary Shelley, first published in 1826. The narrative concerns Europe in the late 21st century, ravaged by a mysterious pandemic illness that rapidly sweeps across the entire globe, ultimately resulting in the near extinction of humanity. Once part of the most significant social circle of second-generation Romantic poet-intellectuals, Shelley now found herself almost alone in the world. As it kills off character after character, The Last Man recreates this history of loss along with its author's crushing sense of loneliness.
