Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Physicians have been known as healers long before they could provide cures for common ailments, but the art of healing is rarely found in the current era of managed care and five-minute office visits.

Healing Through Empathy allows the reader to see into the mind of one physician as he seeks the best outcome for his patients' problems.Dr. Adams offers suggestions for choosing a physician, and challenges physicians and managed care institutions to restore the balance between technology and the art of medicine.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This fictional story is based upon a mercenary operation in Mozambique where three ageing ex-soldiers were tasked to restore order in the area of the port of Maputo and railyard complex so that aid and commercial vessels could conduct their business. This war-ravaged country, which had seen a fifteen-year conflict between the factions of Frelimo and Renamo, was at an end, and had left a lawless and hopeless situation for the starving population. The story, beguiling yet spiced with startling scenes of horror and violence, is told with humour based upon the team's comradeship, where they operated in spartan conditions dealing with horrific situations until the completion of their contract, leaving them somewhat battered, but alive. The story ends with a suitable twist in the tale, and the question of whether they would ever do it again.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - We live in an addictive society in which compulsiveness has become an art form, and most people have dependencies of some sort. This book was written to help all dependent people learn ways to follow a spiritual path, even if their dependencies might be one of those potentially less severe than alcoholism or drug addiction: such as workaholism, materialism, excessive anxiety, or relationship difficulties.To quote from the author: People these days talk seriously of addictions to television, the Internet, or to acquiring material possessions. These are usually self involved occupations. It's as though humanity knows somehow that joy is their natural state, but they lack the ability to open enough to experience it. They are seeking comfort and joy in all the wrong places.This memoir tells the story of three generations afflicted with alcoholism and its effects on family and friends. It chronicles the author's growing up with an alcoholic mother in the middle of the twentieth century, and her own later development of the same illness despite her strong commitment to avoid this. It describes the methods she has used to remain in recovery over twenty seven years, and includes information learned from her twenty plus years of working as an addictions' counselor, and from her ongoing relationships with an alcoholic spouse and an emotionally disabled son.This book speaks to issues of import to much of humanity, such as abandonment, the need for safely and security in an insecure world, the need to give control back to a spiritual source, the need for forgiveness of self and others, and the primary need to find Spirit within and not without. To quote again from Ms. Sherry's words:I no longer think of God as dwelling in heaven, wherever that might be. As a child, heaven seemed to be a place above the sky. However, even though I now know more of the facts about our Universe, I still can't identify a place called heaven.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Through the years, I have heard many people mention the word Remnant. I even had an idea of what the word meant. But it was not until I was traveling to one of my churches in King Fisher, Oklahoma that the I Lord spoke to me concerning this word. He said, 'Lydia, I have never used an entire church to carry out my perfect plan. I have always used a remnant. You have beenlooking to the entire church for the help that you need to carry out the Vision that I have given you. That is not how I work. Within every Church, there is always a Remnant of People.Time and again, I have found myself stressed out . . . disappointed because I believed everyone in the Church should feel the same way I do about carrying out God's Vision. I placed my attention on the Church as a whole---not on that special people God had set apart for His perfect plan. The Word that God spoke to me brought revelation and freedom. It was then that the Lord told me to write this book. Get ready for the greatest revelation you will ever experience. Ask God to open your understanding and reveal the unveiled truth about God's Remnant.

This book is about real life issues, written into poems. It also covers several other topics, and has several meanings. The most important meaning contained within the book is the understanding of 'self importance.'

Often times we 'give in' to these conditions and find ourselves in a state of depression, whether it be major depression, or minor. 'Poetic Reality- in a complicated world,' allows the reader to understand the several emotions, or feelings they may experience while attempting to cope with these trying times, and even though these 'gray' times are present in our lives, they don't have to completely consume one's existence. Better days will follow, as long as we can be 'real' to ourselves and keep in mind how important we truly are to ourselves. This book will assist the reader in understanding that we 'all' experience adversity at one time or another. It is truly up to us to figure out how to deal with these times. The poems in this book are from emotional experiences author Samuel Davis Jr., has experienced in his life, as well as shared feelings from his family and friends. 'Poetic Reality' is about real life, as we continue our learning from life's lessons, through trial and error.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A quiet, but powerful revolution is underway. as the Internet and TV worlds converge; corporations are becoming increasingly interested in creating their own corporate TV networks. One of the biggest reasons for this push is the desire to communicate with customers, offer them helpful friendly advice and in so doing, build a relationship of trust.Unfortunately, TV content and corporate content are vastly different. Corporate content is usually dry and typically delivered by a single subject matter expert in a speech or training program. Conversely, TV content is based on story telling, entertaining and informative story packages and is based on a variety of messengers, including heroes, luminaries, and experts.Succeeding in this brave new world may be easier said than done. In order to thrive, corporations must learn three things: how to create content that focuses on what the audience wants to learn, not what you want to sell, how to use the right media and technology to leverage that content, and how to use it effectively in marketing programs. This book teaches corporate communicators how to do exactly that.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The early 1930's were a period of dire foreboding for the entire world. The dark clouds of World War II were rapidly gathering, as the Jewish population of Europe was becoming especially vulnerable to the most hideous form of genocide that had ever been devised. It was with this background that a young boy made his way to school on the morning after Kristalnacht. In the fascinating and absorbing chapters that follow, the author, Norbert Weinberg, vividly describes how his family made it to the shores of America, via a year in London. Dressed in European-style knickers and hardly able to speak English, the boy tackles his social and educational challenges. His success is apparent when he is ordained as a rabbi at Yeshiva University in New York. Many captivating incidents and situations are discussed as the rabbi meets with personages such Senator Edward Kennedy, President Jimmy Carter and opens a session of the House of Representatives with an invocation. But the heart of the book lies in his warm relationships with congregants, members of other faiths and family. The pages are infused with humor as when, for example, the rabbi is housed in a small hotel in Quebec City, Canada, for a rabbinical interview. A brooding portrait of Jesus stares at him from over his bed. How do they get along Or when, in that same city, he was invited to a formal event at which everyone raised a glass of wine to toast the Queen and his wine was not kosher. Was this a soluble predicament The poignant pages of this book promise to warm the heart of every reader.
