Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Book DescriptionWhat really happens when ordinary people are placed inside an environment built on authority, rules, and roles This book explores one of the most discussed psychological studies in history-the Stanford Prison Experiment-and brings it to life in a clear, engaging, and human-centered way.Based on real events conducted at Stanford University in 1971, this experiment placed carefully selected volunteers into a simulated prison environment. Some were assigned the role of guards, others prisoners. What was expected to be a short academic study quickly evolved into something far more intense, raising questions that still resonate today.Rather than presenting dry academic language, this book takes you inside the experience. You will see how quickly behavior can shift when people are placed in structured systems, how authority influences decision-making, and how roles can begin to shape identity in unexpected ways.At its core, this is not a story about fiction. It is a real psychological study that has been documented, analyzed, debated, and revisited for decades by researchers, historians, and educators around the world.The Stanford Prison Experiment continues to attract attention because it challenges simple assumptions about human behavior. Are people shaped more by their personality, or by the environment they are placed in How much power does a system have over individual choice And what happens when rules begin to replace reflection These questions are not limited to a laboratory setting. They apply to workplaces, schools, institutions, and everyday social structures where authority and hierarchy quietly influence behavior.This book is written for readers who are interested in psychology, human behavior, true events, and the hidden forces that shape social interaction. It is also designed for anyone who enjoys thought-provoking nonfiction that feels both educational and deeply human.Inside, you will find a narrative-driven exploration of the experiment, combined with psychological insight and modern reflection. It does not aim to sensationalize, but to help readers understand what happened, why it matters, and how its lessons still apply today.The events described are based on real research and documented findings. While interpretations may vary among scholars, the experiment itself remains one of the most influential and widely discussed studies in the field of social psychology.If you are curious about how ordinary people respond to authority, how systems influence behavior, and how quickly roles can reshape identity, this book offers a compelling and accessible introduction.A powerful reminder emerges throughout the story: Sometimes, it is not who we are that changes-but the situation we are placed in.Perfect for readers of psychology, sociology, true stories, and human behavior analysis, this book will stay with you long after you finish the final page.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Have you ever prayed with everything in you - and heard only silence You are not alone. And the silence is not the end of your story. There are seasons in every believer's life when the heavens feel sealed - when prayer seems unanswered, worship feels hollow, and the voice of God falls strangely quiet. In those moments, the greatest fear is not that God is angry. It is that perhaps He is simply not there. What Do You Do When God Feels Quiet is a deeply biblical, profoundly pastoral guide for navigating those seasons. Drawing entirely from Scripture - and woven with nineteen real human stories of believers who walked through the silence and came through it - this book reveals that God's quiet seasons are often His most transformative. Inside this book you will discover: - Why God sometimes feels distant - and the five key causes of divine silence- Eight specific, Scripture-grounded actions for what to do when you cannot feel God- In-depth studies of Joseph, David, Job, Elijah and the disciples - each changed by the silence- Nineteen real human stories of believers whose silence produced something extraordinary- A 30-day devotional plan, four prayers for the voiceless season, and anchor Scriptures 'Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles.' - Isaiah 40:31 Perfect for: Christians in spiritual dryness - Believers with unanswered prayers - Those questioning their faith - Small groups and Bible study - Anyone walking through grief, loss or uncertainty He was working all along. And He is working in your silence too. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Fourteen-year-old Taya Whitecloud never comes home.What begins as a missing-person case quickly draws former homicide detective Mike Craddock into something far larger than a single disappearance. The deeper he digs, the more he finds evidence of a network built to operate in plain sight, hidden behind ordinary transactions, legitimate businesses, and people who only ever see part of the truth.As Craddock follows the trail, outreach worker Sylvia Skalsh and journalist Addison Cole begin uncovering connections that stretch far beyond one missing girl. What initially appears isolated reveals itself to be something far more organized, a system designed to move victims, erase evidence, and survive exposure.The people behind it are careful. They understand how to hide in plain sight. They rely on compartmentalization, distance, and the assumption that no one will ever connect the pieces.For Taya, every passing hour narrows the chances of escape.For those searching for her, every answer leads deeper into a world where victims are treated as commodities and the truth is buried beneath layers of legitimate activity.And for Mariah Kade, a young woman trapped inside that world, survival may depend on a decision that carries consequences far beyond her own fate.As the investigation closes in on a critical transfer point along the British Columbia coast, Craddock and his allies find themselves racing against an organization that has already adapted to every threat placed in its path.The challenge is no longer finding the network.The challenge is reaching Taya before she disappears inside it.Set against the backdrop of one of society's most hidden crimes, Collateral is a suspenseful and thought-provoking thriller about exploitation, resilience, sacrifice, and the ordinary people willing to risk everything for those the world has already started to forget.Because sometimes the most dangerous systems are the ones hiding in plain sight.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Your dog has given you years of love. Here is how to give him the best, most comfortable golden years in return. If your dog is growing older, the gray muzzle, the slower mornings, the new lumps and worries, you want to do right by him. But good information is hard to find: vague reassurances on one side, frightening medical jargon on the other. This book is the clear, honest, comprehensive companion in between. Written for everyday owners in plain language and grounded in reputable veterinary guidance, The Senior Dog Care Handbook walks you through every part of caring for an aging dog, so you can understand what is happening, catch problems early, partner effectively with your veterinarian, and keep your senior dog comfortable, healthy, and happy. Inside, you will learn: - When a dog is truly 'senior' (it depends on size more than age) and what actually changes as dogs grow old- How to build a proactive senior wellness plan with your vet, the single most powerful thing you can do- The aging body, system by system: joints and arthritis, dental health, heart, kidneys and liver, hormones and diabetes, cancer, the senses, skin and lumps, and incontinence- How to recognize the hidden signs of pain, and why 'just slowing down' is often treatable- A simple home tool for monitoring heart health, and the warning signs that matter- Dog dementia (canine cognitive dysfunction): the signs, the science, and how to help- How to feed a senior dog well, and the protein myth that does real harm- Exercise, enrichment, and home modifications that keep an old dog thriving>With practical checklists, a quality-of-life scoring sheet, and questions to ask your vet, this is a complete, compassionate, science-based guide to your dog's golden years. Important: This book is written by Sophie Marlowe, a writer and researcher at RayDogs, not a veterinarian. It is intended as general education and a companion to, never a substitute for, professional veterinary care. Always consult your veterinarian about your dog's health. Give your aging dog the comfortable, happy golden years he deserves. Start here.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - You look put-together on the outside. Job done. Family managed. Life moving forward. But somewhere underneath all of that, something still feels unfinished.Maybe it is old grief you never dealt with. A betrayal you told yourself you were over. Shame you buried so deep it stopped having a name. Or a version of yourself, younger and more vulnerable, who never got to speak about what happened.You have probably tried to push past it. Prayed about it. Told yourself that enough time has passed, that other people have had it worse. But the reactions still come. The distance in your relationships. The tiredness that sleep does not fix. Pain does not disappear just because you stopped looking at it.The Trauma Letter Method gives you a practical, structured way to finally put words to what you have been carrying.Melvin Engelbrecht is not a therapist. He is a civil engineer and project manager who knows what it means to function well on the outside while something inside still asks for attention. He has walked this road himself, through public humiliation, rejection, setbacks that hit harder than they should have, and old memories that carried weight well into adulthood. This book comes from that experience, not from a clinical distance.The method is built around writing unsent letters. You do not send them. You do not need to. The purpose is not communication with another person. It is clarity within yourself.Working through seven steps, you will: - Build a safe space before you write, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, so the work does not become retraumatisation- Identify the specific wound you are ready to address, not everything at once, just one honest place to begin- Name the exact emotion underneath the surface reaction, because 'I feel bad' does not give your nervous system anything to work with- Write the letter itself, using guided templates and sentence starters designed for people who freeze at a blank page- Invite God into the wound, not with polished prayers, but with the kind of raw honesty David brought to the Psalms- Reconnect with your body, where trauma is often stored long after the mind has tried to move on- Decide what to do with the letter once it is written, whether that means burning it, keeping it, praying through it, or simply letting it mark the start of something differentYou will also work through something most healing books skip entirely: the moment you realise your unprocessed pain may have hurt the people closest to you. That chapter is not about guilt. It is about seeing clearly so you can respond differently going forward.You do not need to write well. You do not need to have it figured out before you start. You only need one honest sentence and the willingness to begin.If you have been carrying something for years and you are ready to stop, this book is your starting point.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - If your business looks healthy but still leaves money on the table, the drain may already be happening.Not through a crisis. Through the daily friction that successful companies learn to tolerate: competing priorities, unresolved decisions, gray areas between functions, meetings that review but do not close, and effort that does not fully become results.This is not a turnaround book. It is a book about the silent drain that hides inside companies with real momentum - until it starts affecting margin, cash, speed, growth, and management attention.The Execution Agreement is a practical operating model for turning priorities into decisions, decisions into action, and action into measurable results.In this book, you will learn how to: - identify where execution is quietly leaking margin, cash, speed, and focus;- reduce friction between priorities, functions, metrics, owners, and meetings;- turn strategic priorities into decisions that actually close;- assign ownership with enough authority to move the result;- use the Execution Index to decide what to fix first.Drawing on more than 20 years advising owners, CEOs, and leadership teams, Sharón Schapira shows how established companies can convert strategy into focus, closure, and measurable business results.If your company is performing well - but you know it should be producing more from what it already has - this book is for you.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - There is a moment most change practitioners recognize, though few talk about openly. The program is well run. The dashboard is green. Training is complete. Communications have gone out. And yet something isn't landing. The organization is moving around the change without moving with it.That gap has a name. This book calls it the illusion of movement - the condition in which the machinery of change is running while the organization itself stands largely still.The Illusion of Movement: Recovering Judgment in the Practice of Change argues that this gap is not methodological. The field has never had more frameworks, more certifications, or more models. The problem is interpretive. Change management has become highly competent at method while remaining underdeveloped in the one thing method cannot provide: the disciplined judgment to see what the evidence actually shows, to read what the template cannot know, and to act on what the situation requires rather than what habit makes available.Charles R. Haywood draws on more than two decades of change leadership across major ERP implementations, enterprise transformations, and organizational redesigns to examine how organizations learn to count activity instead of progress, how resistance often contains more useful information than compliance, how the behavior people show under pressure reveals what training didn't build, and what a more honest practice looks like in the people who choose to pursue it.This is not a guide to better change management. It offers no new framework, no revised methodology, no certification path. It is an extended argument for recovering what the field has tended to undervalue - and a challenge to the practitioners who are ready to ask harder questions of their own work.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - FORWARD ALWAYSA sweeping, luminous debut about love, inheritance, and the woman who decides the cycle ends with her.They say generational trauma passes from one generation to the next, until someone makes the conscious decision to stop it.To look at everything they have inherited from the love that comes in seasons, the worth that must be earned, the doors kept closed against the things too large to examine, and to decide, deliberately and at great personal cost, that it ends here. That the pattern stops with this generation and does not continue into the next.Juliana made that decision. Not once, in a single moment of transformation. Daily. For an entire lifetime.Born in Paris to an interfaith marriage that was never meant to survive, raised between Beirut, Bahrain, and Cairo against a backdrop of war and displacement, Juliana grows up reading the weather of an unstable home. A mother who loves her in seasons, a father whose approval always stays just out of reach. She inherits what children of such homes inherit: the silence, the performance, the bone-deep belief that love must be earned and can be taken away. She carries one question beneath everything she does - What is love, and am I worthy of it That question shapes her whole life. And when she finally becomes a mother herself, she makes a vow that will be tested beyond anything she could have imagined: that her children will not inherit the wound.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Chronicles of a 21st Century Coal Miner is a gritty, darkly humorous Appalachian memoir-style novel that follows the life of a young underground coal miner navigating the harsh realities of 21st-century coal country in West Virginia. Written by Nathan O'Discin, the book blends raw storytelling, regional dialect, and blue-collar realism to capture a fading way of life shaped by poverty, danger, pride, addiction, politics, and brotherhood beneath the mountains of Appalachia. Set during the decline of the American coal industry in the Obama-era coalfields, the story chronicles long overnight shifts underground, near-death encounters with machinery and methane, strained family relationships, and the emotional toll mining takes on workers and their communities. Through sharp wit and brutally honest observations, O'Discin reflects on the contradictions of Appalachian culture: fierce loyalty and hospitality alongside generational hardship and economic collapse. The novel paints vivid scenes of modern underground mining - continuous miner machines roaring through coal seams, endless beltlines carrying coal through the darkness, and miners relying on each other hundreds of feet beneath the earth. Yet the heart of the story lies less in the machinery and more in the people: rough-edged miners trying to survive in an industry that simultaneously feeds and seeks to destroy them. Stylistically, the book mixes memoir, satire, social commentary, and literary Appalachian fiction drawn heavily on O'Discin's life in southern West Virginia. O'Discin's writing is known for incorporating authentic central Appalachian dialect and deeply personal reflections on class, masculinity, faith, and identity. The work originated from a blog of the same name that gained a large following for its honest and humorous portrayals of coal mining life.…
