Book excerpt: He’d taken her virginity and left without a word . . . When Mary Beth Adams heard rodeo star Deke McCall was back in town, she wanted nothing to do with the love-‘em-and-leave-‘em cowboy who’d disappeared two years earlier after they’d made love. She was too busy struggling to save her family’s ranch. Despite her reserve to take care of the ranch herself, she needed help. Enter sexy Deke to the rescue . . . It took everything Mary Beth had to hold on to her anger when Deke swept in as the gallant hero. She couldn’t resist his tempting kisses and heated caresses. Even with all she’d been through with this handsome cowboy, she was falling in love with him. But he’d hurt her in the past, and she wasn’t sure she could forgive him. Deke knew he’d made a lot of mistakes in his past with Mary Beth. His determination to help her was an effort to atone for leaving her years ago. He hadn’t planned on the gorgeous redhead getting under his skin. Her hot temper turned him on as much as her fiery kisses and sexy body. Each time they made love, it was harder for him to leave her. Until one day when he decided he wanted a life with Mary Beth. He just wasn’t sure if she was ready and willing to trust him with her heart.

Book excerpt: What Is A changemaker? Leadership is never easy. Almost all leaders deal with both triumph and tragedy, oftentimes in equal measure. The fact of the matter is that leadership insists on constant rejection of the status quo. True leaders demand continuous reflection and improvement of those around them, and even more importantly, of themselves. True leaders are Changemakers. In Deke Copenhaver's The Changemaker: The Art of Building Better Leaders, you will learn to become unafraid of doing something different in the service of a good cause and how to spark a movement that others can't help but rally around. The Changemaker is a roadmap of sorts, designed to deliver comprehensive, common sense leadership strategies to people from all walks of life. Through personal and professional anecdotes, case studies, and the wisdom from Changemakers gone by, The Changemaker will inspire and empower you to embrace adversity, rely on creativity and character, and sometimes take the road less traveled in order to unlock your ultimate potential.

Download or read book Prabha ta Sam giita Songs of Neohumanism written by Shrii Prabhat Rainjan Sarkar and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-02-24 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present songbook is an anthology of the songs (in the order of composition) of Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar known as Prabha'ta Sam'giita. In February 1982, Shrii Sarkar gave to the world the gift of Neohumanism. Neohumanism is in fact a renaissance of the 7500 year old Principle of Social Equality (Sama Samaja Tattva) propounded by Lord Shiva. Neohumanism expands the scope of humanist concern to include the plant, animal and earth realms. Neohumanism focuses its efforts on controlling the baneful consequences of narrow sentiments such as geo (geographical) sentiment, socio (religious/ethnic) sentiment and humanist sentiment. It is the intensity of devotion (bhakti) or mystical love (Ishq-e-haqiqi) that gives the Neohumanist the capacity to rise above these sentiments, the ability to enlighten others about them, and the capacity to fight these sentiments. Neohumanism liberates people from their limitations and doubts and fills them with courage, determination and limitless love.

Download or read book The Big Book of Cyberpunk written by Jared Shurin and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2023-09-26 with total page 1137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A genre-defining—and redefining—collection of the boldest, most rebellious, and most prescient speculative fiction, featuring stories from all over the globe. “The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.” Almost forty years ago, William Gibson wrote the line that began Neuromancer—and a movement that would change the face of science fiction. Award-winning anthologist Jared Shurin brings together over a hundred stories from more than twenty-five countries that both establish and subvert the classic cyberpunk tropes and aesthetic—from gritty, near-future noir to pulse-pounding action. Urban rebels undermine monolithic corporate overlords. Daring heists are conducted through back alleys and the darkest parts of the online world. There’s dangerous new technology, cybernetic enhancements, scheming AI, corporate mercenaries, improbable weapons, and roguish hackers. These tales examine the near-now, extrapolating the most provocative trends into fascinating and plausible futures. We live in an increasingly cyberpunk world—packed with complex technologies and globalized social trends. A world so bizarre that even futurists couldn’t explain it—though many authors in this book have come closer than most. As both an introduction to the genre and the perfect compendium for the lifelong fan, The Big Book of Cyberpunk offers a hundred ways to understand where we are and where we’re going.
