Loving Allie
A TRANSFORMATIONAL LOOK AT LOSS For some, the death of a child is a crippling loss. After Mark Twain's daughter, Susan, died at age twenty four, he famously said, "It is one of the mysteries of our nature, that a man, all unprepared, can receive a thunder-stroke like that and live." In Loving Allie, Transforming the Journey of Loss, Dayle E. Spencer chronicles how she received such heartbreaking news and how she survived. Part mythological, part autobiographical, part how-to-manual, this little book has invaluable insights for anyone who has loved and lost. "It's not just a 'mother's journey'. It's everyone's journey." --Louie Anderson, New York Times Bestselling Author "In this deeply moving remembrance of her daughter, Allie, Dayle Spencer helps heal herself and illuminate us all with the power of memory and love. A privilege to read!" --William L. Ury, PhD. Global Bestselling Author "Straight from the heart and from the soul of a mother grappling with the unthinkable--Dayle Spencer tells her story of "Loving Allie" with generosity and courage, leaving the reader with the transcendent power of love." --Beth M. Karassik, PhD., Clinical Psychologist

Everyone sees it, but few are willing to say anything about it. It is the obvious, or difficult situation that people just want to ignore. Families try to behave like it is not there.

Drawing on their work with more than 100 high net worth families, the authors introduce and explain proven strategies and approaches that help families, and their financial advisors, get unstuck.
Enemies on the Couch
For more than 30 years, renowned psychoanalyst Vamik D. Volkan has applied the theories of his profession to societies in conflict, venturing into cauldrons of unrest as observer, mediator, and practitioner. In this volume, he shares his experiences facilitating dialogue between opposing enemy groups, in numerous contexts and conflict zones, and presents the pioneering theoretical and practical frameworks he developed. In the process, he provides a unique window onto watershed moments of the recent past—from major historical events, such as the collapse of the Soviet Union and the fall of the Berlin Wall, to the tragedy of September 11, 2001, and continued violence in the Middle East. The findings and observations presented in this volume provide not only a new way of looking at recent historical events, but also offer a novel set of tools for understanding and shaping the present and future.
Evolve
Should a species smart enough to foresee its own demise be able to consciously evolve in order to overcome threats to its existence? Evolve reveals the nexus of evolutionary biology, sustainability and peace on the journey to PACEM 2050. There is a Burning Platform threating our species. Although our species is extremely good at cooperation, social polarization is preventing our citizenry from being in adequate alignment to adopt the necessary public policy to mitigate future ecological disaster. There are only three scenarios going forward: extinction; eusocial evolution, or a long-term cultural intervention to overcome our current lack of conceptual understanding, lack of social empathy, a...
A Moment of Crisis
In A Moment of Crisis, Marion V. Creekmore, Jr. tells the story of Jimmy Carter's dramatic intervention in the 1994 North Korean nuclear crisis and shows how Carter prevented what he had determined was an almost certain war. Writing with the cooperation of President Carter, and drawing on a large amount of primary source material that has never been used before, Creekmore, who accompanied Carter into North Korea, delivers a gripping narrative of the former President on one of his most remarkable missions, a clear-eyed investigation into the controversies and successes of the mission and others like it, and an illuminating look at how to best handle North Korea and other "rogue regimes." This is essential reading for anyone interested in diplomacy of the highest order, how Jimmy Carter has accomplished the extraordinary achievements of his post-Presidency, the circumstances that can lead to war, and the resolve that it takes to avoid it.

After Terror
After Terror presents sustained reflections by some of the world's most celebrated thinkers on the most pressing question of our time: how can we find ways to defuse the ticking bombs of terrorism and excessive interventions against it?

The central aim of the book is to advance contemporary thinking on the causes and implications of 9/11 and thus provide the essential elements of a blueprint for humanity. It feature...
