    Paperback. Condizione: Good. Two ancient scrolls, The Secret Annals, are discovered in the 1950's in a Tokyo bombsite. They purport to be the history of an unknown 15th-Century Japanese spiritual teacher who, in a time of social chaos, sets out to establish enlightened society. He begins his teaching saying: Abstinence is no path at all. We are gambling on true love. It is an untested path. In documents from students and spies, the Annals then give an intimate portrait of a charismatic leader, his teachings and the transformative journey he shares with his eccentric band of followers. The scrolls are unmasked as forgeries, but ten years later, a retired professor becomes obsessed. Who created this hoax? And why? To the professor the Annals offer new possibilities from a kind of parallel reality. On his deathbed, he makes his American assistant promise to continue searching and to translate the scrolls. The assistant moves to New York. It is the time of the Vietnam war and the counter-culture. He has doubts about the professor, but the world of the Secret Annals begins to seep into his life. He finds within the Prince's teaching a path through this world of trackless uncertainty. Tantalized, he senses a new world of passionate intensity just within reach. **************************************** A compelling, passionate evocation, an ethos of the imagination, a new kind of metaphoric history, DREAMERS AND THEIR SHADOWS channels a chorus of intimacies in a chronicle of age-old conflicts. - Gaetano Kazuo Maeda, Founding Director - International Buddhist Film Festival and Festival Media *************************************** This incredibly beautiful and unique. DREAMERS AND THEIR SHADOWS entices the reader into rich new worlds of understanding and enjoyment. - William Osborne, composer, author, journalist and, with Abbie Conant, founder of The Wasteland Company.…

    Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Do you or your organization have dreams and aspirations of going to the "next level?" Are you in need of a proven PROCESS that will both motivate and empower you to activate transformational strategies? If you answered yes, "Empowering Dreamers To Become Achievers" is a must read! Each year thousands of books are written telling you get motivated, telling you that you can realize your dreams, telling you can succeed despite adversity; yet few books SHOW you how to do so while also providing a tangible blueprint and methodology that you can utilize as a workbook to achieve your goals and objectives. In "Empowering Dreamers To Become Achievers," Ramsey Jay, Jr. reveals his 3Ps, a one-of-a-kind process driven methodology, that emphasizes the significance of dreaming like a child of what is 'Possible', working extraordinarily hard even in the face of adversity to make the dream 'Probable' and ultimately preparing faithfully for the 'Predictable' breakthrough opportunity before it presents itself. A few of the most poignant chapters include: "Get Comfortable With Being Uncomfortable", "If You're Not Hearing "No", You're Aiming Too Low" & "Capitalize On Your Booster Emotions".A graduate of Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business and California State University, Fresno, and a renowned international speaker who has spoken at the White house, this author's proven methodology and structured framework, as etched in his book, has inspired and provided results to audiences ranging from C-suite executives guiding major corporations through transitions, to young students and professionals seeking a guided framework to either achieve their dreams or to become rising stars. The concept of 'mastering the process', as outlined in his book, not only empowers you to emulate the performance of high achievers but also provides the illusive nuggets of wisdom and practical guidance to keep you on track. This undoubtedly sets this book apart from others. It was after more than a decade of research and study of empowerment and achievement publications that Ramsey Jay, Jr. realized that words of wisdom and motivational phrases were useful but without an accompanying framework and step by step process, as he developed along his own journey, one would often fall victim to on again, off again, cycles of progress but never develop sustainable transformational habits. Inspiration, anecdotes, examples, worksheets, shots of wisdom, you'll find that and so much more in "Empowering Dreamers to Become Achievers". Additionally, you will relish the stirring real-life stories, useful motivational tips and thought provoking questions. This book is an instructional empowerment manual for staying determined, remaining resilient, taking one step at a time and creating the future you've been dreaming about but didn't know how to effectuate. If you internalize and apply just one actionable empowering nugget of inspiration from this book, your personal or professional development will surely be enhanced. You CAN do it! Keep Dreaming. …

    Paperback. Condizione: Good. A captivating exploration into the secretive and sensuous world of truffles, the elusive food that has captured hearts, imaginations, and palates worldwide-now in paperback. The scent of one freshly unearthed white truffle in Barolo was all it took to lead Rowan Jacobsen down a rabbit hole into a world of secretive hunts, misty woods, black-market deals, obsessive chefs, quixotic scientists, muddy dogs, maddening smells, and some of the most memorable meals ever created. Truffles attract dreamers, schemers, and sensualists. People spend years training dogs to find them underground. They plant forests of oaks and wait a decade for truffles to appear. They pay $6,000 a pound to possess them. They turn into quivering puddles in their presence. Why? Truffle Hound is the fascinating account of Rowan's quest to find out, a journey that would lead him from Italy to Istria, Hungary, Spain, England, and North America. Both an entertaining odyssey and a manifesto, Truffle Hound demystifies truffles-and then remystifies them, freeing them from their gilded cage and returning them to their roots as a sacred offering from the forest. It helps people understand why they respond so strongly to that crazy smell, shows them there's more to truffles than they ever imagined, and gives them all the tools they need to take their own truffle love to the next level. Deeply informed, unabashedly passionate, rakishly readable, Truffle Hound will spark America's next great culinary passion.…

    Paperback. Condizione: Good. A compulsively readable debut novel about marriage, immigration, class, race, and the trapdoors in the American Dream--the unforgettable story of a young Cameroonian couple making a new life in New York just as the Great Recession upends the economy New York Times Bestseller * Winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award * Longlisted for the PEN/Open Book Award * An ALA Notable Book NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY  NPR * The New York Times Book Review * San Francisco Chronicle * The Guardian * St. Louis Post-Dispatch * Chicago Public Library * BookPage * Refinery29 * Kirkus Reviews  Jende Jonga, a Cameroonian immigrant living in Harlem, has come to the United States to provide a better life for himself, his wife, Neni, and their six-year-old son. In the fall of 2007, Jende can hardly believe his luck when he lands a job as a chauffeur for Clark Edwards, a senior executive at Lehman Brothers. Clark demands punctuality, discretion, and loyalty--and Jende is eager to please. Clark's wife, Cindy, even offers Neni temporary work at the Edwardses' summer home in the Hamptons. With these opportunities, Jende and Neni can at last gain a foothold in America and imagine a brighter future. However, the world of great power and privilege conceals troubling secrets, and soon Jende and Neni notice cracks in their employers' façades. When the financial world is rocked by the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the Jongas are desperate to keep Jende's job--even as their marriage threatens to fall apart. As all four lives are dramatically upended, Jende and Neni are forced to make an impossible choice.

Mbue is a bright and captivating storyteller."--The Washington Post "A capacious, big-hearted novel."--The New York Times Book Review "Behold the Dreamers' heart . . . belongs to the struggles and small triumphs of the Jongas, which Mbue traces in clean, quick-moving paragraphs."--Entertainment Weekly "Mbue's writing is warm and captivating."--People (book of the week) "[Mbue's] book isn't the first work of fiction to grapple with the global financial crisis of 2007-2008, but it's surely one of the best. . . . It's a novel that depicts a country both blessed and doomed, on top of the world, but always at risk of losing its balance. It is, in other words, quintessentially American."--NPR "This story is one that needs to be told."--Bust  "Behold the Dreamers challenges us all to consider what it takes to make us genuinely content, and how long is too long to live with our dreams deferred."--O: The Oprah Magazine "[A] beautiful, empathetic novel."--The Boston Globe "A witty, compassionate, swiftly paced novel that takes on race, immigration, family and the dangers of capitalist excess."--St. Louis Post-Dispatch "Mbue [is] a deft, often lyrical observer. . . .

It is, in other words, quintessentially American."--NPR "This story is one that needs to be told."--Bust  "Behold the Dreamers challenges us all to consider what it takes to make us genuinely content, and how long is too long to live with our dreams deferred."--O: The Oprah Magazine "[A] beautiful, empathetic novel."--The Boston Globe "A witty, compassionate, swiftly paced novel that takes on race, immigration, family and the dangers of capitalist excess."--St. Louis Post-Dispatch "Mbue [is] a deft, often lyrical observer. . . . [Her] meticulous storytelling announces a writer in command of her gifts."--Minneapolis Star Tribune.…

    Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. A schoolteacher still reeling from the tragedies of the Great War and the influenza epidemic travels to the Middle East in this memorable and passionate novel "Marvelous . . . a stirring story of personal awakening set against the background of a crucial moment in modern history."--The Washington Post   Agnes Shanklin, a forty-year-old schoolteacher from Ohio, has come into a modest inheritance that allows her to take the trip of a lifetime to Egypt and the Holy Land. Arriving at the Semiramis Hotel just as the 1921 Cairo Peace Conference convenes, she is freed for the first time from her mother's withering influence and finds herself being wooed by a handsome, mysterious German.    At the same time, Agnes--with her plainspoken American opinions--is drawn into the company of Winston Churchill, T. E. Lawrence, and Lady Gertrude Bell, who will, in the space of a few days, redraw the world map to create the modern Middle East. As they change history, Agnes too will find her own life transformed forever.   With prose as graceful and effortless as a seductive float down the Nile, Mary Doria Russell illuminates the long, rich history of the Middle East with a story that brilliantly elucidates today's headlines.…
