Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Frank Walker was a godless man. He saw no use in worshipping a higher power. However, he did see the power of religion and the way it could take hold over grand congregations.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - What does not happen in politics can be as important as what does happen. This was the case when my friend Mitch Daniels, then Indiana s much-admired governor, decided against seeking the Republicans 2012 presidential nomination. This book is a fascinating look at the interplay of the personal and the political, a story of one of modern history s might-have-beens.George WillSyndicated ColumnistThis is a fascinating history of the eight people who worked tirelessly to bring to life a 2012 presidential candidacy on behalf of Governor Mitch Daniels. Highly competent, accomplished, visionary and with an extraordinary common touch but lacking an ego driven ambition- the perfect anti-Obama - Daniels could have been a game changing candidate had he chosen to run.

CaddellFox News ContributorPollster and Political StrategistThe increasingly pernicious nature of our political campaigns and media coverage of candidates is driving some of our most talented people out of the process. Run Mitch, Run takes readers behind the scenes on just one such case, and why then-Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels, one of the most qualified people to lead our country, decided that his love of family took precedence over his willingness to seek the presidency and serve the country.Charlie Cook Editor and PublisherThe Cook Political ReportPolitical AnalystNational Journal and NBC NewsAny American , Republican or Democrat, will enjoy this book, but I guarantee you it will also break your heart .

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Most people think they know what ails the American criminal justice system because the experts keep telling us: Too many people go to prison-even nonviolent offenders who've committed low-level infractions. They're locked up in an overcrowded system, and they are not rehabilitated. Instead, they're reenergized to do more damage to society. Ed Barajas, who retired from the Federal Bureau of Prisons after twenty-seven years, argues that we've gotten the narrative wrong. He challenges the notion that prisons are a necessary evil at best and a shameful institution at worst. More importantly, he suggests practical and lasting solutions to solve the real problems. He also points out that the first step to fixing those problems begins with those who work for the criminal justice system remembering who they serve-the taxpayers that pay their salaries. Barajas examines how everyday citizens are partnering with the criminal justice system to reduce crime on the local level. Many of these communities are safer and more secure than ever, but they've largely gone unnoticed. While 'experts' ask the wrong questions and make misguided assumptions, citizens, victims, and criminal justice professionals are transforming the system through a quiet revolution beyond the traditional calls for reform. Ed offers an insightful and comprehensive policy analysis about the state of the American criminal justice system and provokes thinking beyond traditional policy models. Moreover, he offers solutions that have been proven successful which currently are overlooked or ignored by national policymakers. -Selma Sierra, Policy Director Bingham Research Center, Utah State University I worked with Ed at the National Institute of Corrections for over a decade. His ability to see through the maze we call 'corrections' was not only edifying but refreshing. He gives a clear picture, as well as solutions, to so many practices that are not working. -Rick Faulkner, President, The Faulkner Group, LLC.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book fulfills nearly a lifetime of hope-a hope of one day sharing abroad some of the visible and invisible things that the eyes of my heart notice, contemplate, love, and interpret. Perhaps one could call these poems translations. Poetry emanates from the heart. The heart, being made by the Creator, needs something else to capture an experience, a moment. Many experiences are tiny, fleeting ones; others are huge and overwhelming. Most happen on an inner plane, some reaching a pitch that need expression, need sharing. In the end, poems live by being read. The reader loves them into life, resuscitates their words right off the page, and extracts all that resonates. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - I see many examples of how the children have not been made a priority in many African American families. It seems that many African American men are content to produce children and then simply walk away from most, if not all of the financial, emotional and psychological responsibilities that serve as the foundation of parenting. Baby Daddy Disorder is a reality check on what is terribly wrong in the African American community. Families are the core of every issue that plagues our community. Alcoholism, obesity and poor health, economic hardship, education, crime and violence are just a few elements that need improvement within the African American community. Each one of these elements could be tackled more strategically if families were intact or if parents could work together as a team to ensure success for their children. It's been said that 'It takes a village to raise a child.' Even if grandmother, aunts and uncles create and work in the village, father's need to step up, man up and get up so that they can fulfill their role in the village.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - What accounts for the rise and fall of so many civilizations-especially when some of them held more political power than their rivals Author Joseph Sassoon tackles this question and many others in this, his second volume on self-actualization. As a missionary for humanism, he explores the social conditions that are necessary for the greatest number of people to achieve self-actualization. In presenting his theories, he reviews the work of major thinkers, including Kurt Goldstein and his landmark book, Human Nature in the Light of Psychopathology; Charles Darwin; Buddha; and many others. Sassoon explores the answers to key questions: ¿ What is society's role in helping individuals move toward self-actualization ¿ What benefits would society enjoy if more people achieved their potential ¿ What are the main characteristics of a humanist code ¿ What can we do to promote humanist values A third volume in this series will establish the conditions required to bring about a world federalism based on humanism. In a changing world with competing ideologies, it is more important than ever to establish the importance of humanist values. In this study, Sassoon describes a step-by-step social arrangement leading to self-actualization for the greatest number of people in society.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'Imperial Eden' is a collection of poems written mainly by citizens of Victoria, British Columbia, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries about that city. Established in 1843 as a Hudson's Bay Company trading post, Victoria became the capital of the province in 1866. Before the opening of the Panama Canal and the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway, however, its inhabitants were relatively isolated from the rest of North America. The city's beautiful location and its semi-Mediterranean climate inspired visitors, locals, and poets to describe it as a 'paradise'. But this remote 'Eden', surrounded by mountains, forest and the sea, was deeply loyal to Great Britain, believing that its far-flung empire was the repository of 'freedom' and many civic and moral virtues. As well, local writers exhibited a militarism usually associated with Prussia. Eager to defend the British Empire, many of its citizens enthusiastically supported England in the remote South African War (1899-1902) and volunteered for service in the Great War (1914-18). Both wars were seen as a defence of decency and civilization embodied by Britain.This book shows how local poets lauded the beauty, the Britishness of Victoria and the imperial connection, but also how, confronted with the realities of modern warfare, their loyalty to the Empire waned c. 1920.…
