Paperback. Condizione: Good. Be it a wrong turn, a bad relationship, a debilitating illness or a war, every action creates a reaction, every move is followed by another move. How do we get out of what we've gotten ourselves into? Granta 118 zooms in close on the phenomenon of the exit strategy. In a new story, Alice Munro writes of an elderly woman whose attempts to care for her husband are undermined by her own deteriorating thought processes; Claire Messud searches for her father's past in Beirut, Lebanon as he lays dying in a hospital in the US; and Aleksandar Hemon remembers the importance of smuggling his family's dog out of war-torn Sarajevo. Exit Strategies also features new writing by John Barth, Gish Jen, Ann Beattie, and newcomer Chinelo Okparanta - examining how we get ourselves out and the repercussions that follow. Hindsight is 20/20, but it's what we do moving forward that defines us and - in the best of all worlds - redeems us.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. In Exit the Body, Heather Bartel makes an offering-as-essay-collection, if a collection of essays can include a tarot reading, a one-act starring dead and dreamed women, conversations with Sylvia Plath through a mirror, and letters to a living ghost.Like journeying through the hallways of a haunted house, Bartel moves through a narrative landscape that shape-shifts, engaging in conversation with the women who haunt her to ask the question at the core of Exit the Body: what to do with an obsession with the mirror when the person in the mirror is either the only person you can trust or the one who is trying to kill you.A dance with illusion and choice, Exit the Body is a meditation on the mind and its place within the body: what escapes, what ruptures, what is created, what echoes, and where we find ourselves on the other side.Praise for Exit the Body: "Wandering yet resolute, the mood in these occult essays, with their travels through alienation and image-cathexis, is ambitious, unflinching, daring, searching and intelligently sound. Feeling anew what she has felt fueled by in Earhart's legend, staring down the strives of Plath's turns of mind, looking through the glass at a chorus of Lynch actresses-iconic channels of realms sublime-I admire this writer much and feel a sisterly kinship within struggles to love, to hold, to expand to live more.in commitment to the sensorium of thought."-Douglas A. Martin, author of Wolf and Outline of My Lover"A lyric debut, Exit the Body is true to its title, tackling female grief while blurring the lines between reality and dreams. Using mirrors, fever, fire, and ghosts, Heather Bartel contemplates women at the edge of madness. The result is a fluid essay collection built on visceral vignettes."-Deborah Jackson Taffa, author of Whiskey Tender"'Every waking moment is an act of imagination, ' writes Heather Bartel in her debut essay collection Exit the Body. Like an echo thrown backward against the mirror of time, these essays occupy the liminal space of the body moving across the landscape of becoming. Otherworldly, shapeshifting, and pierced through with longing, Bartel summons loss, death, rage, literary ghosts, Tarot, wildfires, and murmurs from beyond the grave. The text becomes 'a body a landscape of days spent searching, attempting to map out a meaning for itself in the world, a meaning and a home.' The experience is one of liberation; a resurrection that sets us free. The feminine text is a calling forth of the body, from the body, it's an act of creation, decreation, and incantation, and this is the art and magic of Bartel's work in Exit the Body."-Emily Arnason Casey, author of Made Holy"Heather Bartel's Exit the Body combines parallels between universes of lyric essays and divinations for the dead to identify ideas of self, illusions, empowerment, obsession, and radiance. Finding glimmers within worlds where words focus on makebelieve and magick, tethered ghost-sister, dear ghost sister, a ghost a ghost a ghost a ghost. Bartel uses the lyric essay as spellwork to manifest bodies, to manifest narratives, to manifest all the goodbyes we can no longer hold: Where she asks, now, you choose. You choose."-Hillary Leftwich, author of Ghosts Are Just Strangers Who Know How to Knock and Aura.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. EVERY ENTREPRENEUR NEEDS A HAPPY EXIT STRATEGY! 'So, what's your exit strategy?' The question often leaves most entrepreneurs stumped as running a business leaves little time to think about anything else. While business owners recognize that they may have to exit their business at some point, few give enough thought to how they will sell it. And fewer prepare for it. Invariably, when a prospective buyer appears or an offer is made, or when an unforeseen health or financial contingency arises, they scramble to respond. Even those rare entrepreneurs who have given thought to an exit often end up with seller's remorse. The Art of a Happy Exit helps entrepreneurs get prepared for all that selling their business entails. The book covers not just the Outside game-positioning, prospecting, finding professional partners, negotiating, structuring, and executing, but the critical Inside game-the mental and emotional preparation needed even while retaining customers, employees, and the business. K. Srikrishna tells the stories of twenty entrepreneurs from India and the United States who've sold their businesses to varying degrees of happiness. Between the stories, he lays out the typical steps involved in a business sale, each with its own practical checklist. The result is a book that will help you gain greater self-awareness of what you seek and how best to go about it, and ensure the happiness of all involved with the outcome.…

Asmi knows that CPH (Copenhagen, Denmark) is the best airport to shop for clothes, and ATH (Athens, Greece) the best for shoes. The best Zara store is in BCN (Barcelona, Spain). The best airport to buy whiskey at is ARN (Stockholm, Sweden). Airplanes, airports, and hotel lobby bars make Asmi feel just as much at home as her apartment in Laguna Beach does.

As Asmi reaches the big 4-0 and contemplates making some life choices; her boss announces he is retiring, and she is suddenly thrown into a corporate Hunger Games against her nemesis Scott Beauregard I to win a promotion.

Condizione: Very Good. "The risk of a fatal catastrophe was constant. The NVA was the enemy, but the ultimate opponent was, quite simply, death. . . ." For assault helicopter crews flying in and around the NVA-infested DMZ, the U.S. pullout from Vietnam in 1970-71 was a desperate time of selfless courage. Now former army warrant officer Tom Marshall of the Phoenix, C Company, 158th Aviation Battalion, 101st Airborne, captures the deadly mountain terrain, the long hours flown under enormous stress, the grim determination of hardened pilots combat-assaulting through walls of antiaircraft fire, the pickups amid exploding mortar shells and hails of AK fire, the nerve-racking string extractions of SOG teams from North Vietnam. . . . And, through it all, the rising tension as helicopter pilots and crews are lost at an accelerating pace. It is no coincidence that the Phoenix was one of the most highly decorated assault helicopter units in I Corps. For as the American departure accelerated and the enemy added new, more powerful antiaircraft weapons, the helicopter pilots, crew chiefs, and gunners paid the heavy price of withdrawal in blood. For more than 30 Percent of Tom Marshall's 130 helicopter-school classmates, the price of exit was their lives. . . .…
