After years of unsuccessful attempts at conceiving a child, Ana and James become parents overnight, when a terrible accident makes them guardians to 2 year-old Finn. Suddenly, two people who were struggling to come to terms with childlessness are thrust into the opposite situation—they are completely responsible for a small toddler, whose mother's survival is in question. Finn's crash-landing in their tidy, urban lives throws into high-relief some troubling truths about Ana and James's deepest selves, both separately and as a couple.

Book Ignore Everybody

    Book Details:
  • Author : Hugh MacLeod
  • Publisher : Penguin
  • Release : 2009-06-11
  • ISBN : 1101057726
  • Pages : 180 pages

Download or read book Ignore Everybody written by Hugh MacLeod and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2009-06-11 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Hugh MacLeod was a struggling young copywriter, living in a YMCA, he started to doodle on the backs of business cards while sitting at a bar. Those cartoons eventually led to a popular blog - gapingvoid.com - and a reputation for pithy insight and humor, in both words and pictures. MacLeod has opinions on everything from marketing to the meaning of life, but one of his main subjects is creativity. How do new ideas emerge in a cynical, risk-averse world? Where does inspiration come from? What does it take to make a living as a creative person? Now his first book, Ignore Everyone, expands on his sharpest insights, wittiest cartoons, and most useful advice. A sample: *Selling out is harder than it looks. Diluting your product to make it more commercial will just make people like it less. *If your plan depends on you suddenly being "discovered" by some big shot, your plan will probably fail. Nobody suddenly discovers anything. Things are made slowly and in pain. *Don't try to stand out from the crowd; avoid crowds altogether. There's no point trying to do the same thing as 250,000 other young hopefuls, waiting for a miracle. All existing business models are wrong. Find a new one. *The idea doesn't have to be big. It just has to be yours. The sovereignty you have over your work will inspire far more people than the actual content ever will. After learning MacLeod's 40 keys to creativity, you will be ready to unlock your own brilliance and unleash it on the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DR. RICHARD R. REICHEL was the first to produce a TV program about all Asian cultures in America, which included discussion and entertainment segments. He was also the first to present a TV show about all aspects of organic living. He has written and produced film projects on many subjects as well as motion picture productions. He is credited with convincing film star Jackie Chan to come to U.S.A. to make movies. Dr. Reichel has contact with well known personalities and celebrities in the television and film industry. His greatest achievement was to create a new innovative system which teaches individuals to be successful film actors and actresses. Dr. Reichels system is unlike those antiquated methods that are out there today. One actually becomes the character he or she is portraying and learns the whole realm of the film business in a relatively short period of time. With the Reichel system you cannot fail, if you follow all of the lessons and information carefully. It is also excellent for those who would like to have superior confidence and be more dynamic and assertive at work, social situations, school or even at home. xHSLEQCy872794zv*:+:!:+:!@ ISB

Book Hanna Fenichel Pitkin

Download or read book Hanna Fenichel Pitkin written by Dean Mathiowetz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-26 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hanna Fenichel Pitkin has made key contributions to the field of political philosophy, pushing forward and clarifying the ways that political theorists think about action as the exercise of political freedom. In so doing, she has offered insightful studies of the problems of modern politics that theorists are called to address, and has addressed them herself in a range of theoretical genres.. This collection of her works approaches each of these dimensions of Pitkin’s contributions in turn: The Modern Condition and the Impetus to Theorize: Pitkin has offered sustained reflection on what aspects of modern political life prompt the impulse to theorize politics. Highlighting the pitfalls that modern life and philosophy also present for that enterprise, she suggests an agenda for political theorizing that engages the dilemmas of modernity in ways that grasp the importance of paradox as a portal of insight into the modern condition, and eschews attempts at easy resolution. Moral Philosophy, Judgment, Justice: Pitkin has turned at several points in her career to the concept of justice as one that particularly brings together questions of agency and responsibility, the insights of moral philosophy, and judgment. Drawing upon a variety of methodological resources and theoretical inspirations, her work engages ordinary language philosophy, pedagogical practice, and textual study, to yield a complex and subtle set of observations, all of which open moral philosophy and matters of judgment to questions of action and responsibility in the exercise of political freedom. Action: Political agency and its obstacles are a key theme in Pitkin’s work and a main area of her theoretical innovation. She has examined the appeal of autonomy as a picture of political agency, explored the ways that the institutional arrangements of modern liberal societies attempt to link of individual and political agency and offered a picture of political freedom as maintaining the tension between individual "parts" and collective "wholes," Finally, Pitkin has meditated on the political and social conditions that most impede our ability to grasp agency as a practice of political freedom, and gestured to paths that may lead forward.

The author analyses how market leaders have benefitted from successful strategy implementation and provides the reader with a comprehensive and systematic framework to tackle strategy implementation challenges. Have clear strategic choices been made? Are actions aligned with the strategy? What’s the organizational context for the strategy?

Book Clinical Seminars and Other Works

Download or read book Clinical Seminars and Other Works written by Wilfred Bion and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-06-04 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This selection of clinical seminars held by Wilfred Bion in Brasilia (1975) and Sao Paulo (1978) is the nearest we shall ever get to experiencing his application of his theories and views to consulting-room practice. It is also likely to be the only printed record of this area of his work. As those who underwent analysis with Bion will testify, nothing can approach the experience of the thing itself, but, failing that, these seminars may help to fill the gap now that his voice can only be heard through his published writings and lectures.
