Who Would I Be Without
Based on a true story, this empowering account of an ordinary man's quest for peace gives us an insider's look at the relief self-honesty offers from the quiet desperation of a disingenuous life.
Forbidden Science
Known principally as an investigator of the UFO phenomenon and a science fiction novelist, the French-born Vallee (now a resident of the U.S.) has also worked as a computer scientist in both academia and industry. UFOlogists will not find the answers to all of their questions here, for although Vallee believes that UFOs exist, he has no idea just what they are. Therein lies the excellence of his dazzling diary: it offers a glimpse into the mind of a scientist who seems to challenge every preconception and established piety. To his academic training as a mathematician and scientist, which stressed rational approaches to problems, Vallee has brought an interest in the mystical, the psychical, and the paranormal. He has been a Rosicrucian and has studied the works of ancient scientists like Paracelsus. His diary is replete with profoundly insightful, often devastating observations about the strengths and weaknesses of France and the U.S., their academics and their researchers in industry.
Ripping the Veil
Anglers are not always perceived to be the most rational of people. For those who get involved in rod fishing, what might start as a curiosity, gradually becomes a passion that often develops into a full-blown, all-consuming addiction. Apparently, there is no cure. Repeated scenarios of utter failure, near-drowning, broken relationships and disarming exhaustion only whet the appetite for renewed effort. No wonder the non-angling majority considers the whole venture as incomprehensible and one of insanity. However, the angling body is no small minority. It will happily embrace the label of 'insane' if that is what it takes to sustain what, for those who are smitten, is no less than a lifestyle. These are the people who are driven to explore what lies beneath the water's surface. They thrive on the thrill of revealing the secrets of a hidden world. For them, ripping the veil between air and water is not a casual option but a glorious and compulsive expression of evolutionary history - a relic strategy of survival. At least, this is their excuse.
Hunger for the Word
Hunger for the Word provides weekly reflections on the lectionary readings for Year B from the standpoint of a concern for hunger and justice. Drawing on the insights and stories of pastors, professors, and other theologically grounded people who are active in anti-hunger advocacy through Bread for the World, Hunger for the Word explores the scriptural witness with an openness to seeing how God's Word can nourish us in the struggle to feed the hungry.
Behavioral Strengths & Employment Strategies
Behavioral Strengths and Employment Strategies represents the authors reverse engineering of more than forty years of recruiting and employment management. The book describes career progression as the integration of two levels of self: the behavioral and the strategic. In the authors opinion, based on years of recruiting for a number of important corporations, occupational success is related to five self-strengths, and five practical employment strategies. When integrated, the product of behavioral strengths and practical employment strategies can result in life-long occupational success.
The Gambler King of Clark Street
The Gambler King of Clark Street: Michael C. McDonald and the Rise of Chicago’s Democratic Machine tells the story of a larger-than-life figure who fused Chicago’s criminal underworld with the city’s political and commercial spheres to create an urban machine built on graft, bribery, and intimidation. In this first ever biography of McDonald, author Richard C. Lindberg vividly paints the life of the Democratic kingmaker against the wider backdrop of nineteenth-century Chicago crime and politics. Twenty-five years before Al Capone’s birth, Michael McDonald was building the foundations of the modern Chicago Democratic machine. By marshaling control of and suborning a complex web of pre...
