Book excerpt: From New York Times bestselling author Sharon Sala. Enter the eye of the maelstrom as death and disaster stalk Tornado Alley. As bodies pile up in the wake of a storm--stripped, tortured and grimly posed--authorities must admit the unthinkable. The serial killer dubbed the Stormchaser has returned following a tornado and taken it upon himself to bring the death toll up to where he believes it belongs. FBI investigator Wade Luckett is back on the case, assisted by an agent Wade knows professionally and personally: his ex-wife, Jo. Neither time nor the tragedy that tore them apart have blunted the ache Wade feels for brave, beautiful Jo. And though she tries to deny it, she feels the same. But the stirrings of renewed romance will have to wait until they catch a killer. The Stormchaser has no intention of getting caught. He's set his sights on a new victim. Jo can forget about the lifetime she dreams of spending with Wade. She'll be lucky to see another day. Previously published.

Download or read book Think Twice written by Michael J. Mauboussin and published by Harvard Business Review Press. This book was released on 2012-11-06 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No matter your field, industry, or specialty, as a leader you make a series of crucial decisions every single day. And the harsh truth is that the majority of decisions—no matter how good the intentions behind them—are mismanaged, resulting in a huge toll on organizations, the people they employ, and even the people they serve. So why is it so hard to make sound decisions? In Think Twice, now in paperback, Michael Mauboussin argues that we often fall victim to simplified mental routines that prevent us from coping with the complex realities inherent in important judgment calls. Yet these cognitive errors are preventable. In this engaging book, Mauboussin shows us how to recognize and avoid common mental missteps. These include misunderstanding cause-and-effect linkages, not considering enough alternative possibilities in making a decision, and relying too much on experts. Through vivid stories, the author presents memorable rules for avoiding each error and explains how to recognize when you should “think twice”—questioning your reasoning and adopting decision-making strategies that are far more effective, even if they seem counterintuitive. Armed with this awareness, you'll soon begin making sounder judgment calls that benefit (rather than hurt) your organization.

Download or read book Twice Alive written by Forrest Gander and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exciting new book about renewal by the winner of the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry In the searing poems of his new collection, Twice Alive, the Pulitzer Prize–winner Forrest Gander addresses the exigencies of our historical moment and the intimacies, personal and environmental, that bind us to others and to the world. Drawing from his training in geology and his immersion in Sangam literary traditions, Gander invests these poems with an emotional intensity that illuminates our deep-tangled interrelations. While conducting fieldwork with a celebrated mycologist, Gander links human intimacy with the transformative collaborations between species that compose lichens. Throughout Twice Alive, Gander addresses personal and ecological trauma—several poems focus on the devastation wrought by wildfires in California where he lives—but his tone is overwhelmingly celebratory. Twice Alive is a book charged with exultation and tenderness.
Download or read book Living Your Jesus Reality written by Erich Fuls and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-03-14 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living Your Jesus Reality penned by author Erich Fuls presents that Jesus in Person came to reside in every born again believer. Jesus lives here on earth in believers to implement the words and works of Almighty God. The author grapples with these questions: Why does the world not see Christ fully alive in – and active through – Christians? Have Christians taken Christ out of Christianity? The book flags that Christianity is dead apart from Christ living in His people, and He Himself transforming the world through them. Readers will be challenged to discover, meditate and implement the truth that every believer is supposed to live from, through and to Jesus alive in them. The sharp shooting and compact style of the 60 essays and poems gives much food for reflection in every section without a long reading requirement. This book is for everyone who wishes to know why there is such a glaring discrepancy between what Jesus prepared and promised for all, and what one sees in Christian circles today. Furthermore, this book is for all Christians who are hungry to know and show Jesus in their everyday life, for real. Every Christian who is tired of a fake, self-based, religious and ritualistic Christianity and seeks revival in his own life will get much blessing from this book. Christians who want to live from, through and to Jesus Christ in Person here within them need to read this book. Faithfully following the Biblical teachings of this book will reveal God Jesus in Person in God’s children, and in action from within them.
Download or read book Einstein Relatively Simple Our Universe Revealed In Everyday Language written by Ira Mark Egdall and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2014-01-06 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Outstanding Academic Title for 2014' by CHOICEEinstein Relatively Simple brings together for the first time an exceptionally clear explanation of both special and general relativity. It is for people who always wanted to understand Einstein's ideas but never thought they could.Told with humor, enthusiasm, and rare clarity, this entertaining book reveals how a former high school drop-out revolutionized our understanding of space and time. From E=mc2 and everyday time travel to black holes and the big bang, Einstein Relatively Simple takes us all, regardless of our scientific backgrounds, on a mind-boggling journey through the depths of Einstein's universe. Along the way, we track Einstein through the perils and triumphs of his life — follow his thinking, his logic, and his insights — and chronicle the audacity, imagination, and sheer genius of the man recognized as the greatest scientist of the modern era.In Part I on special relativity we learn how time slows and space shrinks with motion, and how mass and energy are equivalent. Part II on general relativity reveals a cosmos where black holes trap light and stop time, where wormholes form gravitational time machines, where space itself is continually expanding, and where some 13.7 billion years ago our universe was born in the ultimate cosmic event — the Big Bang.

Download or read book Embracing Diversity in the Learning Sciences written by Yasmin B. Kafai and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-10-12 with total page 1414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than a decade has passed since the First International Conference of the Learning Sciences (ICLS) was held at Northwestern University in 1991. The conference has now become an established place for researchers to gather. The 2004 meeting is the first under the official sponsorship of the International Society of the Learning Sciences (ISLS). The theme of this conference is "Embracing Diversity in the Learning Sciences." As a field, the learning sciences have always drawn from a diverse set of disciplines to study learning in an array of settings. Psychology, cognitive science, anthropology, and artificial intelligence have all contributed to the development of methodologies to study learning in schools, museums, and organizations. As the field grows, however, it increasingly recognizes the challenges to studying and changing learning environments across levels in complex social systems. This demands attention to new kinds of diversity in who, what, and how we study; and to the issues raised to develop coherent accounts of how learning occurs. Ranging from schools to families, and across all levels of formal schooling from pre-school through higher education, this ideology can be supported in a multitude of social contexts. The papers in these conference proceedings respond to the call.

Download or read book Lyrics for the Bride of God written by Nathaniel Tarn and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 1975 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nathaniel Tarn's Lyrics for the Bride of God, a book-length poem composed over the course of five years, represents the author's most sustained effort since The Beautiful Contradictions (1969). The Bride, first appearing at the end of that volume, here dominates the entire work in fulfilling her ultimate kabbalistic task: the return of the holy sparks, dispersed among mankind at the creation, to their original Source. In this, the Bride undergoes exile in the guise of a very human woman--constantly changing identity, species, race, color, age, and even sex; ranging through many different mythical and historical settings; raising a host of political issues from ecology to feminism: and creating, against Tarn's anthropological background, an astonishing cosmos propelled by the eternal interaction of male and female. Perhaps the author's most dramatic work, the Lyrics reflect a time of personal tension and loss, a time of exile from Europe transformed into a fervent adoption, on a continental scale, of his new American milieu. Overall, it is Tarn's expansive, energetic woridview that makes the work cohere. At a time when so much poetry lacks either head or heart, Tarn clearly hopes that, in the Lyrics, both have full sway.
