Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The book is divided in two. The first section addresses the theoretical short-coming that result from the predominance of capitalism. We recognize that capitalism was initially accepted as progressive and incorporated elements of democracy however slavery (the first contradiction of capitalism) was the economic activity which produced the profits which were then invested in the industrial revolution. Successful industry ultimately destroyed slavery (captains of industry insisted that if they had to pay their workers, other 'captains' would have to do the same). But, the ground work was laid for racism, which became the next contradiction of capitalism. As the democratic revolutions of Europe and the U.S. promised 'liberty and justice for all, slavery lived on.

The second part of the book is empirical. After reviewing the conditions of African Americans the authors review several essential building blocks for rebuilding communities that can provide stability and prosperity for all.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Effective strategic management brings with it the clarity, accountability, trust, and focus that will dramatically improve your chances of ongoing, sustainable success. To be an effective strategic manager, you develop effective, implementable strategic plans.Real strategic planning is not an event, nor is it a document that sits on a shelf after an executive retreat to gather dust. Instead it is an ongoing process of accountability and transformation. This book will show you how to create that process inside your organization, ensure the involvement of stakeholders, and make sure strategic priorities are actually implemented.There is no shortcut to successful strategic planning. It requires full support and commitment from the senior ranks of the organization.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The story of being the victim of threats and related actions served as the predictor of my life journey. My writing about my anger at the outcome of that event led a professor to suggest I change my major from sociology to journalism. Although I did not heed that suggestion, I am following that advice now. I was trapped in my anger, and it seemed every day there was a new inquiry of why this or why that. In changing the question from why to what, I discovered God s reason for my journey. Questioning the reason for events elicits from God the response children are prone to get from parents because I said so or because I am your parent. God is my Father, and I am His child. God received the same response that my parents received to that explanation: I chose to be angry. Once I learned that anger was my choice, God could patiently and lovingly lead me to my ministry. Two days after losing my sister to cancer, I understood the lesson. Being a minister is a title, or label. The what of my journey with God is to be available to minister to those individuals He places in my life. Through obedience to God, the what in my life became anger of motivation in my life.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Love Letter for a Japanese War Bride is Stephen E. Price s memoir of his eternal love for his first wife, Ryuko. Set primarily in postwar Japan, the story provides a window into a new world one that spawned cultural diversity, but one that was largely unprepared for and unaccepting of it. The tale chronicles the lover s perseverance as they struggle with both the US and Japanese governments to gain permission to marry. The narrative is woven into fabrics of cultures, traditions, attitudes, language and history some of which may be unfamiliar, but all of which is captivating. Above all, the unending and redemptive romance in this story captures the purest essence of love with all its twists and turns, joys and sorrows, highs and lows, and culminates in a tragic yet transcendent ending. A remarkable memoir and love letter that rings true on every page An intimate and heartbreaking story, beautifully told. I can think of no other work about Japan and America that reveals more poignantly how love and trust can bridge race and culture, even where the odds seem so formidably against this. John W. Dower, Ford International Professor of History, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Pulitzer Prize winning author of Embracing Defeat: Japan in the Wake of World War II.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Is God loving The Bible says that God is love; however, it also portrays a God that floods the earth, takes the lives of the firstborn in Egypt, and lashes out time and again in His fury. How can a God of love be synonymous with the God of fury displayed in the Old Testament Are we fools 'The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction' (Pro 1:7). Twice in the Proverbs we're told that the beginning of knowledge and wisdom is the fear of the Lord. Is it possible that we have become altogether ignorant simply because we've tossed out the Bible's basic teaching on God's fury The Fury of God penetrates the paradox and shows that we cannot truly understand God's love until we fully understand His fury. If believers today are truly abiding in God's Word, they will come face-to-face with the fury of God, and its truth will bring satisfaction to their souls. God's people must know the truth. They longingly desire it. The truth is that our God is a consuming fire. He is a jealous God. He is a holy God. He is an unchanging God. He is a triune God. Our God is a God of fury. It is that God, the God of the Scriptures, whom I hope to resurrect in the hearts and minds of His people with this book.…

However, one blaring similarity remained: children are precious in His sight no matter which half of the globe they call home. Our goal was to convey that pivotal message to each student we had the privilege of serving here in this unfamiliar part of the world.…
