Now That You're Boss
LEAD WITH CONFIDENCE IN YOUR RACE TO THE TOP No way to go but up. It's your destiny, your calling! This book lays it all out: You're a sure winner--if you stick to your Creator's recipe for real success. A must-read for budding--even seasoned--bosses, "Now that You're Boss" is peppered with relatable examples of workplace situations and solution nuggets. The author expertly marries the Bible's timeless wisdom with simmering business concepts and trends, making this book a relevant, "fresh-from-the-oven" serving of easily digestible boss lessons. All these from Yay Olmedo's more than 30 years of navigating the corporate world's intricate corridors of power and intrigue--from the basement to its corner and penthouse offices; and as she continues to keep up with emerging business realities while teaching business subjects in an international university, and holding motivational and business seminars for domestic and overseas audiences.
Dark Days of Authoritarianism
The history of the Philippines is a long and complex one but the stories and reflections in Dark Days of Authoritarianism, from remarkable individuals who were willing to stake their lives for freedom, shed light on life under the martial law instituted by President Ferdinand Marcos from 1972 to 1981, and up to the peaceful popular uprising of 1986. This book not only covers the social, economic and political conditions across the country during martial law but also how those conditions affected ordinary people personally and spiritually. Many of the contributions illustrate the strength and determination of Philippine women to create a better society despite being met by great adversity and the importance of Christian faith for sustaining the lives of those who suffered and survived this tumultuous period. This book provides important lessons for a new generation facing the menace of authoritarianism today, wherever they are, to fight for democracy and resist any attempts to diminish people’s freedom.
Women’s Movements and the Filipina
This book is about a fundamental aspect of the feminist project in the Philippines: rethinking the Filipino woman. It focuses on how contemporary women's organizations have represented and refashioned the Filipina in their campaigns to improve women's status by locating her in history, society and politics; imagining her past, present and future; representing her in advocacy; and identifying strategies to transform her. The drive to alter the situation of women included a political aspect (lobbying and changing legislation) and a cultural one (modifying social attitudes and women’s own assessments of themselves).

Eaters of the Dead
Spanning myth, history, and contemporary culture, a terrifying and illuminating excavation of the meaning of cannibalism. Every culture has monsters that eat us, and every culture repels in horror when we eat ourselves. From Grendel to medieval Scottish cannibal Sawney Bean, and from the Ghuls of ancient Persia to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, tales of being consumed are both universal and universally terrifying. In this book, Kevin J. Wetmore Jr. explores the full range of monsters that eat the dead: ghouls, cannibals, wendigos, and other beings that feast on human flesh. Moving from myth through history to contemporary popular culture, Wetmore considers everything from ancient Greek myths of feeding humans to the gods, through sky burial in Tibet and Zoroastrianism, to actual cases of cannibalism in modern societies. By examining these seemingly inhuman acts, Eaters of the Dead reveals that those who consume corpses can teach us a great deal about human nature—and our deepest human fears.
