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.
Clairvoyance And Occult Powers
This book is a treasure chest full of occult wisdom. It includes twenty lessons on that will let the reader dive deep into his own powers, strange phenomena and spiritual wisdom. There is in every human being a sense which is not generally recognized as such, although nearly every person has had more or less experience regarding its workings. I refer to the sense of the presence of other living things, separate and apart from the operation of any of the five ordinary physical senses. I ask you to understand that I am not claiming that this is a higher sense than the other physical senses, or that it has come to man in a high state of evolution.

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.
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. He authored dozens of New Thought books under numerous pseudonyms, some of which are likely still unknown today, including "Yogi Ramacharaka" and "Theron Q. Dumont.

Professional Business Etiquette & Grooming
In today's increasingly global arena, technical knowledge alone is not enough to ensure success. Sophistication is more and more the catchword. Given a choice between two equally talented individuals, corporations will choose the candidate with greater interpersonal and social grace skills to represent it.

Stop the Monkey Business
In Cleveland's Primer to become a great leader, he makes it clear that WTF doesn't stand for Win The future. Compelling cases are made for why: Execution eats Strategy for Breakfast.

The Peter F. Drucker Reader
The best of Peter F. Drucker's articles on management, all in one place.That "management" exists as a concept, a practice, and a profession is largely due to the thinking of Peter F. Drucker. For nearly half a century, he inspired and educated managers-and powerfully shaped the nature of business-with his iconic articles in Harvard Business Review.Through the lens of Drucker's broad vision, this volume presents an opportunity to trace the great shifts in organizations in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries-from manufacturing to knowledge work, from career-length employee tenures to short-term contract relationships, from command-and-control structures to flatter organizations that call for new leadership techniques.These articles also offer a firm and practical grasp of the role of the manager and the executive today-their responsibilities, their relationships, their decisions, and detailed processes that can make their work more effective.A celebrated thinker at his best, in this volume Drucker paints a clear and comprehensive picture of management thinking and practice-both as it is and as it will be.This collection of articles includes: "What Makes an Effective Executive," "The Theory of the Business," "Managing for Business Effectiveness," "The Effective Decision," "How to Make People Decisions," "They're Not Employees, They're People," "The New Productivity Challenge," "What Business Can Learn from Nonprofits," "The New Society of Organizations," and "Managing Oneself."

Down in the Dumps
"With the increasing integration of the major economies of the world, trade frictions have also increased. The Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations, once scheduled for completion in December 1990, has been slowed over the issue of agricultural subsidies. The U.S.-Japanese trade relations have continued to be a source of friction between the two countries. At issue in all these disputes is whether the United States and other countries are playing ""fairly"" in the international trade arena.The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) outlines a variety of rules designed to ensure fairness. The United States, like other GATT signatories, has enacted statutes designed, for the most part, to be consistent with the GATT requirements.In this book, Richard Boltuck and Robert E.
