Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In Dancing in the Dark: The 'Waltz in Wonder' of Quantum Metaphysics, Dr. Ronald Keast examines the exciting and spooky scientific theories about the fundamental nature of reality and truth that have been proposed by the revolutionary science of quantum mechanics. These quantum theories, which are at the leading edge of contemporary science, propose that at the most elementary, sub-atomic level-that which underlies and is the foundation of our world, our universe, all that is-reality is radically uncertain. The certainties of science, which, for all practical purposes, replaced those of religion over two hundred years ago in the West, have been undermined and shown to be, at best, inadequate, at worst, erroneous-as have those of common sense. This has profound metaphysical, philosophical, even theological, not to say scientific, implications. It means that we do not, and probably cannot, know what reality and truth are, that we are all dancing in the dark; dancing with faith of one kind or another. Written for a general audience, Dancing in the Dark introduces some of these theories, connects them to their metaphysical and philosophical roots in the West, and to their mystical roots in the East, and emphasizes the value of learning about them-the value and the joy of uncertainty. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - When Chet Monroe is offered a job as a law professor at a university near his hometown of Mission Springs, Mississippi, he jumps at the chance to get away from the bustle of New York City and start a new life. The small town is happy to welcome home a successful native son. Chet doesn't come home alone, however. He brings with him his longtime lover, Drew Weatherly, who takes a job at the local bank. The men know that the town may not be accustomed to an openly gay couple, but their plan is to slowly gain acceptance, easing the neighborhood into an understanding of their relationship. Everything seems to be going well until the local Baptist minister, Brother Gene, begins to suspect that the two men are more than just friends, and he's squarely against allowing them to work their way into the community on their own terms. As tensions begin to rise, Chet is accused of the unthinkable: raping a local boy he befriended. Now, winning over the community is no longer a choice but a necessity if he's to keep his freedom in Without One Plea.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Few people are aware that the true identity of William Shakespeare represents Western Civilization's greatest mystery. Even fewer realize that the commonly accepted authorship by William Shaksper of Stratford-on-Avon, who was illiterate, is a complete hoax manufactured by England's leading politicians, William Cecil and his son, Robert, for personal reasons of greed and power. The hoax survived largely unscathed until 1920 when J. Thomas Looney's brilliant book, Shakespeare Identified, plucked Edward de Vere's buried name out of historical obscurity and introduced him to the world as the real Shakespeare. Fighting the astonishing power of conventional wisdom, believers in the de Vere theory have steadily built their case through now hard-to-find scholarly research for the past ninety years. This anthology series, Building the Case for Edward de Vere as Shakespeare, salvages fascinating, neglected authorship material which repeatedly and convincingly shows that Edward de Vere was the uniquely creative genius who wrote under the coerced pen name of William Shakespeare.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Many are tired of the ineffectiveness of their business and the inability to maximize profits. Some believe there is a connection between the general malaise of employees and business structures and performance. Years after the industrial revolution, the Hawthorne Studies, and the Scientific Management Theory of Frederick Taylor, we are still struggling to find ways to motivate employees to increase productivity. Theory after theory has made its debut, but they rarely take into account the philosophical perspective of executives and managers in their approach to organizations, therefore resulting in new wine in old wineskins. It is time to be bold and try something new! A Different Path, A Different Result presents a unique approach to increasing the bottom-line. It mandates a change in mind-set and promotes a philosophy of partnership. It is a New Consciousness model that contends that executive and employee goals can be mutually inclusive. It recognizes that employees are powerful, self-determining individuals, and has the core objective of creating a win-win situation for executives and employees. It guides you through a step-by-step process for implementation, and by embracing its philosophy it guarantees increased motivation, increased productivity, and improved bottom line results. 144 pp. Englisch.…
