Paperback. Condizione: Good. An extraordinary glimpse inside the human journey to live with integrity, with wholeness by 21 diverse people who share their stories with stunning honesty and openness. In his contribution to the book, Parker J. Palmer writes: From the moment I began writing fifty years ago, I've known that my ideas wouldn't matter much if they simply sat there, inert, on the printed page. So I am deeply grateful for people who put wheels on those ideas-people who find ways to take their inner work into the outer world and show up on the job and in other parts of their lives with their identity and integrity movement to fulfill the human possibility, a movement that's forever calling us to embody what it means to be truly human intact. The contributors to this book have done exactly that. Here they share their stories of what it means to decide to rejoin soul and role and live divided no more. All of these people are participants in what I have called the movement model of social change. The movements from which I drew this model sometimes have big names-the Civil Rights Movement, the Women's Movement, the Velvet Revolution. But at bottom, the movement I have in mind has been unfolding in ways small and large since our species first achieved consciousness. It is the ancient movement to fulfill the human possibility, a movement that's forever calling us to embody what it means to be truly human.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Of 78 million Baby Boomers, one turns 50 every seven seconds. 70% of people over 75 still own their own home. Taken together, these facts spell perplexity for millions of adult children. Increasing numbers of Boomers, themselves aging, with overbusy work lives and college-age children, must interrupt their schedules to move their aging parents out of households they can no longer manage. For most, the solution might seem simple: put Mom in a home, her stuff in a dumpster, and get back to the treadmill. Enter NO ORDINARY MOVE; Relocating Your Aging Parents, a book that helps readers slow down and reconsider this situation, not as a grim crisis but as a rare opportunity. It's the story of Sandy, whose 50-yard dash of a life is further complicated by the realization that her parents can't remain in the home in which she and her brothers grew up. Her father's resistance, her mother's growth in self-assertion, and her brother's transformation from resentment to active participation in the move highlight the triumphs and breakdowns along the way to the final, healing move. The heart-changing secrets to be learned from such an experience, balanced with the shortcuts and facilitative strategies that make it no ordinary move, are provided by a character called Moving Mentor, a sort of Yoda of Moving. Her working with the family to manage the mutual influence of inter-generational values, together with excerpts from her website and journal, show readers a way to make participation in their parents' move a turning-point, a chance to renew and reunite. The second part of the book, For Adult Children Only; 101 Ways to Get Your Parents Moving, features lists of hands-on tasks, each with its rationale, arranged under the eight stages of a healthy move.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Many people sincerely believe that all vaccines are safe, adverse reactions are rare, and no peer-reviewed scientific studies exist showing that vaccines can cause harm.

Reading this book will allow you to make better choices when considering vaccination." -- David Brownstein, MD "This book is so precise and exciting in addressing the vaccine controversy that I read it in one evening. I recommend this book to any parent who has questions about vaccines and wants to be factually educated to make informed decisions." -- Gabriel Cousens, MD "Neil Miller's book is a tour de force and a clarion voice championing the cautionary principle: 'When in doubt, minimize risk.'

When the UN invaded the Freehold of Grainne, the intent was simple: Force a noncompliant star nation back into the collective.  What the politicians hadn't accounted for was that the Freehold had spent 200 years as the haven for every independent, rebellious, self-reliant adventurer in human space. Its military are scattered remnants, its bases smoking ruins, its cities occupied. But Grainne and its space habitats have resources beyond measure.

Starting with the first volume in the series, Marching With Caesar(R)-Birth of the 10th Legion Titus, along with his boyhood friend Vibius Domitius, have joined the 10th Legion in the draft of 61 BC, when Gaius Julius Caesar is the governor of Spain. Titus and Vibius endure the harsh training, and participate in their first campaign, the suppression of a rebellion by the Lusitani tribes of Hispania. With this campaign completed, the 10th Legion is marched to Narbo Martius, their new permanent home.
