Go Where There Is No Path: Stories of Hustle, Grit, Scholarship, and Faith
by Christopher Gray Mim Eichler RivasFor all who dare to go off the beaten track, this is the inspirational, power-packed playbook for transforming your life and your world—from a young, Black social entrepreneur whose dorm-room tech startup has helped millions pay for college and access unprecedented opportunity. Gray, the son of a single working mother who had him at age fourteen, grew up in deep poverty in Birmingham, Alabama. An academic star, he had every qualification for attending a top college—except for the financial means. Desperate, Gray headed off the beaten path, searching online to apply for every scholarship he could find. His hustle resulted in awards of 1.3 million dollars and became his call to action to help other students win their own “schollys.” It inspired him to start up Scholly, an app that matches college applicants with millions of dollars in outside scholarships that often go unclaimed. When he was a senior at Drexel University, he appeared on Shark Tank as CEO of Scholly. In the most heated fight in the show’s history, the sharks challenged Gray as to whether his app was a charity or a profitable business. Both, he insisted, proposing a new paradigm for social entrepreneurship and netting deals from Lori Grenier and Daymond John. At the time Scholly’s subscriber base was 90,000 users. Today the app has 4 million subscribers who have won scholarships totaling more than $100 million. Meanwhile, Gray—without help from the mostly all-white boy’s club of Silicon Valley—has emerged as a tech startup superhero now tackling the crisis of student debt with innovative, unrivaled strategies. Gray’s premise is that when you lead with the good—confronting issues such as poverty and racism—the money will follow. His story is proof that when you develop a mindset for success, you turn disadvantages into gold. And when you create opportunities for others, you enrich the marketplace for yourself too. Gray shows us, we can carve out new paths to better days and leave trails for others.

The Go Point: When It's Time to Decide, and Knowing What to Do and When to Do It
by Michael UseemThe Go Point--the moment of truth when you have to say "yes" or "no" when it's time to get off the fence. Michael Useem--through dramatic storytelling--shows how to master the art and science of being decisive. He places you smack in the middle of people facing their go point, where actions--or lack of them--determined the fates of individuals, companies, and countries. * Why on earth did Robert E. Lee send General George Pickett on an almost suicidal charge against the Union lines at Gettysburg? * How does the leader of a firefighting crew make life-or-death decisions, directing his people--with little information about weather patterns to guide him--to go up or down the mountain? One direction means safety, the other danger. * You've just assumed responsibility for a scandal-wracked corporation, a company teetering on the brink of disaster. What you decide over the course of the next several days will have consequences for thousands of employees and investors. How do you fulfill your responsibilities? Michael Useem makes you feel as if "you are there," right in the center of the action. He was there: tramping up and down the mountain where firefighters made their momentous decisions; walking the battlefield at Gettysburg to see for himself just what General Pickett faced before making his ill-fated charge; going into a trading pit where million-dollar buy-and-sell decisions are made that affect fortunes of both the firm and the person making the call. You'll discover why some decisions were flawless, perfectly on target, and others utterly disastrous. Most of all, you'll learn how to make the right calls yourself, whether you're changing your career, hiring an assistant, launching a product, or deciding on a potential acquisition or merger. Smartly written and offering unusual insights into the minds of decision makers such as General Lee, The Go Point will provide the guidance for you to move with confidence when it's your turn to get off the fence.

Go Long: Why Long-Term Thinking Is Your Best Short-Term Strategy
by Brian Dumaine Michael Useem David M. Rubenstein Dennis Carey Rodney ZemmelThe lifespans of companies are growing shorter each day. Why do some companies thrive and grow, while others fail? Inspired by the CEO Academy, the annual off-the-record gathering of chief executive officers organized by the authors, Go Long reveals how some of the world’s most prominent business leaders resisted short-term pressures to successfully manage their organizations for the long term, and in turn, aim to create more jobs, more satisfied customers, and more shareholder wealth.In Go Long, authors Dennis Carey, Brian Dumaine, Michael Useem, and Rodney Zemmel take you behind-the-scenes to witness the business decisions that are enabling leading organizations to outsmart and outlast the competition. Why did CEO Larry Merlo allow CVS to take a $2 billion hit—on purpose? How did CEO Alan Mulally maneuver Ford’s $48 billion turnaround? How did director Maggie Wilderotter and her fellow board members engage top management to embark on an unusual exercise to help Hewlett Packard Enterprise build a long-term strategy? Why did CEO Paul Polman’s turn back to Unilever’s original mission of leading with a purpose to fuel profits? How did CEO Ivan Seidenberg convince his investors and board to allow him to make a $150 billion bet? How did CEO George Buckley find a way to address investor calls for 3M to spend less on research and development while still finding a way to innovate?These leaders argue that a short-term mindset might satisfy investors for this quarter or next, but there’s a heavy price to be paid. Instead, they argue, long-term thinking is your best short-term strategy.Called a “mandatory read” by David M. Rubenstein, co-founder and co-executive chairman of The Carlyle Group, Go Long is a critical resource for leaders who want their organizations to survive over the long-term and for anyone who cares about the global economy.

Go It Alone!: The Secret to Building a Successful Business on Your Own
by Bruce Judson<p>There is an epidemic of unhappiness in the American workplace. A full 70 percent of workers in the United States report that they are disengaged from their jobs. When asked, "Do you have the opportunity to do what you do best every day?" only 20 percent of nearly 2 million employees said yes. It is no wonder that 56 percent of all Americans dream of starting their own business. So why don't they do so? Because starting one's own business is seen as difficult, expensive, and risky. <p>In this extraordinary book, successful <i>Go It Alone!</i> entrepreneur Bruce Judson explains that the conventional wisdom about starting your own business is stunningly wrong. Using the leverage of technology -- e-mail, the World Wide Web, and the remarkable array of off-the-shelf business services now available -- it is dramatically easier to start your own business. Magnified by these new services, it is also possible to create, for the first time, a highly focused business. <p>Bruce Judson shows you the practical steps that will allow nearly any individual to create a business, often using job skills that seem to require an entire corporation for support. It is no longer necessary to spend time on the tasks that don't add value. It is now possible to stay small but reap big profits. Go-it-alone businesses allow the individual the freedom to concentrate on their greatest skills. After reading this book, your motto will be "Do What You Do Best, Let Others Do the Rest."</p>

by Mike PenceIn this personal account, former Vice President Mike Pence champions one of his most deeply held beliefs: faith makes a family, and family makes a life.When Mike Pence was a young politician, reporters used to ask him: &“where do you see yourself in five, ten years?&”Without fail, the former Vice President would reply, &“home for dinner.&”This answer was an honest assessment of his priorities. Throughout his career, Pence has been adamant about putting his family first. As he often told his staff, he&’d rather lose an election than lose his family. Go Home for Dinner is an in-depth, practical guide to balancing the demands of life with the long-term satisfaction that only a commitment to your family can bring. In this personal account, former Vice President Mike Pence champions one of his most deeply held beliefs: that faith makes a family, and family makes a life. And, through straightforward advice and personal storytelling, he shows readers how to do the same. In short chapters, Pence walks us through the principles that he and his wife, Karen, developed to raise their family. He gives credit to his parents for setting the precedent of gathering around the dinner table and for being attentive listeners. He discusses how he and Karen prioritized their relationship, even when they struggled professionally through two failed congressional races and personally with infertility. He reveals how he learned to trust God, make difficult choices, and take leaps of faith, all with an eye to what his family needed. He also brings in examples of other friends and colleagues, to demonstrate how these principles look in the lives of other families. The Pence family is far from perfect, but the values portrayed in this book have helped them remain together—and thrive—through their extraordinary journey in public service. Go Home for Dinner is filled with practical, timeless advice about how readers can pursue their dreams while keeping their family close. This is a book for anyone who wants to achieve their goals and put their family and faith at the center of their life—but who needs a nudge to get home in time for dinner.

The Go-Giver Leader
by John David Mann Bob Burg"I met last week with your leaders," Ben began. "I heard what they had to say. And you know, they make a good point." He paused. Take charge, Ben, he told himself. Take control. He looked around the conference room. Take, take, take. Was that really what he was here to do? With their acclaimed bestseller The Go-Giver, Bob Burg and John David Mann proved that a heartfelt parable could also express a powerful idea. In The Go-Giver Leader (originally published as It's Not About You), they offer an equally compelling tale about a struggling small business and the ambitious young executive trying to lead them to a crucial decision. Allen & Augustine has manufactured high-quality chairs for decades. Its people take pride in their work and feel loyal to their owners and management team. But this revered company is now at a crossroads, hurt by a tough economy, foreign competition, and a cash crunch. The air is filled with the scent of uncertainty, anxiety, perhaps even panic. Into this setting enters Ben, who's been assigned by a larger firm to promote a merger that will rescue Allen & Augustine. Ben's facts are undeniable: the chair maker can either merge and modernize or go bankrupt and vanish. So why can't he persuade anyone to buy in, from the CEO on down?Will Ben find a way to sway the employee shareholders before the climactic vote? And can Allen & Augustine survive without losing its soul? The answers may surprise you as you follow Ben on his journey to understanding that the path to genuine influence lies less in taking leadership than in giving it. This revised and updated edition includes a new introduction, a discussion guide, and a Q&A with the authors.From the Hardcover edition.

Go Deeper: Encountering God's Passion (Morgan James Faith)
by Ken JungEncountering God Leads to Spiritual Intimacy and Transformation. Some believe that learning about God is like looking for something inside the refrigerator—the air is cool and you can never find what you’re looking for.

In Go Deeper, Ken Jung provides an alternative way—story theology for experiencing God. Go Deeper invites you to explore your relationship with God by placing yourself into the biblical narratives. By doing so, readers will encounter the God who passionately pursues us with His sovereignty, holiness, presence, grace, and love. The result: we are transformed in the process.

"Sometimes even the smallest acts of living out faith require great bravery."

You'll feel right at home as she challenges you to be a light in the world while simultaneously offering you easy-to-digest advice on your most pressing questions. Fresh off figuring out who she is as a daughter of God, how to cultivate healthy friendships, how to save sex for marriage, and how to develop a prayer life, Wilson Hussem gives you advice about what she learned in the midst of becoming a young woman. Aware of the information overload that young people face today, she shares simple wisdom for bravely living your faith, such as: Always be kind to other women. Work hard at what you love. Recognize God's plan for your life. Remember that nobody is perfect. Cultivate authentic friendships. These are basic ideas, Wilson Hussem says, but taking care of yourself and loving others are easy tenets of our faith to forget. A book that can be read in short snippets or in one sitting, Go Bravely offers you the encouragement and tools you need to live out your Christian faith with purpose and zeal.

The Gnome Project: One Woman's Wild and Woolly Adventure
by Jessica Peill-MeininghausWhat do you do when life is too chaotic? How about felting a gnome? Or 365 of them, one for each day of the year. Artist and wool crafter Jessica Peill-Meininghaus decided that she needed a project to teach herself follow-through in life. She settled on making one of her popular felted-wool gnomes every day for a year. With pipe cleaners and wool roving, amidst the chaos of raising four children and moving cross-country, Peill-Meininghaus felted her way through hundreds of charming, pointy-hatted, often bearded characters. Lavishly decorated with photos of each charming creation, The Gnome Project is the surprising and magical story of what happens when we commit to something small. (Hint: It's something very big, as in making life more meaningful.) Here is her inspirational tale, complete with gnome-making instructions.
Gnar Country: Growing Old, Staying Rad
by Steven KotlerThe New York Times bestselling author and human performance expert tests his knowledge and theories on his own aging body in a quest to become an expert skier at age fifty-three.Gnar: adjective, short for “gnarly,” def: any environment or situation that is high in perceived risk and high in actual risk.Country: noun, def: any defined territory, landscape or terrain, fictitious or real.Cutting-edge discoveries in embodied cognition, flow science, and network neuroscience have revolutionized how we think about peak performance aging. On paper, these discoveries should allow older athletes to progress in supposedly “impossible” activities like park skiing (think: jumps and tricks.) To see if theory worked in practice, Kotler conducted his own ass-on-the-line experiment in applied neuroscience and later-in-life skill acquisition: He tried to teach an old dog some new tricks.Recently, top pros have been performing well past a previously considered prime: World-class athletes such as Kelly Slater, the greatest surfer of all time, is winning competitions in his fifties; Tom Brady can beat players half his age. But what about the rest of us?Steven Kotler has been studying human performance for thirty years, and taught hundreds of thousands of people at all skill levels, age groups, and walks of life, how to achieve peak performance. Could his own advice work for him?Gnar Country is the chronicle of his experience pushing his own aging body past preconceived limits. It’s a book about goals and grit and progression. It’s an antidote for weariness that is inspiring, practical, and, often hilarious. It is about growing old and staying rad. It’s a feverish reading experience that makes you put down the book, get out there, and move. Whether hurtling down a mountain side, running your first 10K race, or taking your career to new heights, Kotler challenges us to test ourselves, surpass our limits, and achieve our own impossible, whatever it might be. Part personal journey, part science experiment, part how-to guide, Kotler takes us on his punk rock, high-velocity joy-ride for a better life in spite—and often in defiance of—the perceived limitations of the aging human body.

The Glutathione Revolution: Fight Disease, Slow Aging, and Increase Energy with the Master Antioxidant
by Nayan PatelWard off life-threatening disease and symptoms of aging with this guide to boosting your levels of glutathione (GSH), the "master antioxidant."The body has a remarkable ability to ward off disease and heal itself--and it does it with the help of the most important antioxidant you've never heard of: glutathione (GSH), the "master antioxidant." This indispensable molecule--which we make ourselves--holds the key to immunity, vitality, and lifelong health, helping to flush out toxins, fight DNA-damaging free radicals, and rebuild other essential antioxidants like Vitamins C and E. It's been linked to longevity in centenarians, and it protects against diseases like cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's. It plays a role in lesser ailments too: low glutathione levels could be the culprit behind your fatigue, aches, and pains. At the forefront of the latest GSH research, Dr. Nayan Patel shares all the information you need to boost your glutathione levels, revitalize your body, and transform your life with this naturally-occurring super antioxidant. In The Glutathione Revolution, he addresses the most important questions about GSH: What exactly is glutathione? What happens when your GSH levels are low? What diseases does GSH ward off? How can you naturally increase the amount of GSH your cells produce? What foods should you eat--and not eat? What are the safest and most effective GSH supplements? With a wealth of practical information and three easy, accessible action plans that you can tailor to your own life and health concerns, you too can harness the power of glutathione.
GLÜCK SIEBEN GEHEIMNISSE - Ein kurzer Leitfaden zum Erfolg
by Henry Osal Karl ApselSieben einfache Schritte, die Sie näher an Ihre Traumziele bringen. Ein wundervoller Leitfaden für ein glückliches Leben. Wenn ich Menschen kennenlerne, die glücklich sind, Menschen, denen das Schicksal manchmal oder auch öfters hold ist, sind sie sich normalerweise in Einem einig: Glück oder glückliche Zufälle ergeben sich nicht willkürlich. Glück erfordert Beharrlichkeit, Enthusiasmus und harte Arbeit, damit es sich einstellt, d.h. wir müssen uns darum bemühen, es in unser Leben zu bringen. Wir können GLÜCK als eine glückliche Fügung sehen, die uns nur einmal im Leben zukommt. Wir verbringen dann unser ganzes Leben damit, auf diesen einen Moment zu warten. Das ist aber in den meisten Fällen unergiebig. Wir neigen dazu zu denken, dass wir unter einem UNGLÜCKSSTERN geboren sind, wenn wir wie betäubt Meldungen über Menschen, die Glück haben, lesen; Menschen, die im Lotto gewonnen haben, auf einen Schatz gestoßen sind oder ein begabtes Kind haben, das sie zu Millionären macht. Das sind aber Ausnahmefälle. Wir danken aber nicht unserem GLÜCKSSTERN, wenn wir tragische Meldungen lesen oder hören. Es scheint einfach, als könne uns so etwas nicht zustoßen. Und die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass sich zufällig etwas wirklich Gutes in unserem Leben ereignet, ist genauso hoch, wie die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass uns etwas wirklich Schlimmes zustößt: SEHR GERING. Wir beginnen also damit, über Glück als etwas zu denken, das wir steuern können, als einen Weg, den wir wählen, um zu einem Ziel zu gelangen. Das macht es erforderlich, dass wir uns an eine Reihe von Regeln halten, die ich GEHEIMNISSE genannt habe, obwohl es sich bei ihnen in Wirklichkeit einfach nur um gesunden Menschenverstand handelt. Lassen Sie uns diesen Weg gemeinsam beschreiten.

Gloria: ¿QuÉ quieres decir?
by DR Pensacola H. Jefferson¿Qué es la SANTA GLORIA de Dios en este versículo? La SANTA GLORIA de Dios encarna TODAS las manifestaciones de su SANTA presencia atestiguada en sus SANTAS BONDADURAS, sus SANTOS BUENOS HECHOS / PODER, y su SANTO NOMBRE que lo distingue de TODOS los demás dioses falsos. “… Tú (Dios) eres BUENO y haces BIEN (bondad santa)…” (Salmo 119: 68 KJV). “… Cuenta Su gloria entre las naciones, Sus maravillas (santas) entre todos los pueblos…” (1 Crónicas 16:24 LBLA). “… Gloria en su santo nombre…” (1 Crónicas 16:10 NASB). Cuando era niño, le decían que no mirara directamente al sol. Si mira al sol a simple vista, el daño a la retina es irreversible. La SANTA GLORIA de Dios es más brillante que la del sol. “… Y la ciudad no tenía necesidad de sol… porque la (santa) gloria de Dios la iluminaba…” (Apocalipsis 21:23 RV). LA SANTA GLORIA de Dios se manifiesta a través de sus creaciones. Su SANTA GLORIA por sí sola está tan APARTE del PECADO y TAN PURA que es como una luz cegadora y transparente que es demasiado brillante para el ojo humano desnudo. “… Resplandeció con la GLORIA de Dios, y su resplandor era como el de una joya preciosa, como un jaspe, claro como el cristal…” (Apocalipsis 21:11 NVI). En Éxodo, "... Moisés dijo," ... muéstrame tu gloria ". ... El Señor dijo ... "no puedes ver mi rostro, porque nadie puede verme y vivir". … Cuando pase mi GLORIA, yo… te cubriré con mi mano hasta que haya pasado… ”(Éxodo 33: 16-23 NVI).

Globalization, Fear and Insecurity
by Sophie Body-GendrotFear is ingrained in the history of cities but our short-sightedness prevents us from grasping its evolution over time. Increasingly, risk and fear are experienced, portrayed and discussed as globalized phenomena, particularly since 9/11. This research puts urban insecurity in perspective, with a comparison of world cities in the North and South.
Globality
by Harold L. Sirkin James W. Hemerling Arindam K. BhattacharyaGlobality primarily involves large western corporations expanding their operations and moving aggressively into new overseas markets. GLOBALITY radically defines a 'post-globalization' world, where companies from India, China, Russia, eastern Europe, Brazil and Mexico are expanding beyond their home base, entering and building new markets, creating whole industries, and competing for customers, resources, market share and attention. In short, the tide has turned. As a result, western companies need to understand these emerging new businesses and the economies they come from in order to stay ahead and stay alive.
The Global War on Tobacco: Mapping the World's First Public Health Treaty
by Heather WipfliThe first in-depth review of the World Health Organization’s groundbreaking Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.The tobacco industry has capitalized on numerous elements of globalization—including trade liberalization, foreign direct investment, and global communications—to expand into countries where effective tobacco control programs are not in place. As a consequence, tobacco is currently the leading cause of preventable death in the world. Each year, it kills more people than HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis combined. Amid evidence of an emerging pandemic, a committed group of public health professionals and institutions sought in the mid-1990s to challenge the tobacco industry’s expansion by negotiating a binding international law under the auspices of the World Health Organization. The WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC)—the first collective global response to the causation of avoidable chronic disease—was one of the most quickly ratified treaties in United Nations history. In The Global War on Tobacco, Heather Wipfli tells the engaging story of the FCTC, from its start as an unlikely civil society proposal to its enactment in 178 countries as of June 2014. Wipfli also reveals how globalization offers anti-tobacco advocates significant cooperative opportunities to share knowledge and address cross-border public health problems.The book—the first to delve deeply into the origin and development of the FCTC—seeks to advance understanding of how non-state actors, transnational networks, and international institutionalization can impact global governance for health. Case studies from a variety of diverse high-, middle-, and low-income countries provide real-world examples of the success or failure of tobacco control. Aimed at public health professionals and students, The Global War on Tobacco is a fascinating look at how international relations is changing to respond to the modern global marketplace and protect human health.

Glimpses of the Devil: A Psychiatrist's Personal Accounts of Possession, Exorcism, and Redemption
by M. Scott PeckThe legendary bestselling author and renowned psychiatrist M. Scott Peck, whose books have sold over 14 million copies, reveals the amazing true story of his work as an exorcist -- kept secret for more than twenty-five years -- in two profoundly human stories of satanic possession. In the tradition of his million-copy bestseller People of the Lie: The Hope for Healing Human Evil, Scott Peck's new book offers the first complete account of exorcism and possession by a modern psychiatrist in this extraordinary personal narrative of his efforts to heal patients suffering from demonic and satanic possession. For the first time, Dr. Peck discusses his experience in conducting exorcisms, sharing the spellbinding details of his two major cases: one a moving testament to his healing abilities, and the other a perilous and ultimately unsuccessful struggle against darkness and evil. Twenty-seven-year-old Jersey was of average intelligence; a caring and devoted wife and mother to her husband and two young daughters, she had no history of mental illness. Beccah, in her mid-forties and with a superior intellect, had suffered from profound depression throughout her life, choosing to remain in an abusive relationship with her husband, one dominated by distrust and greed. Until the day Dr. Peck first met the young woman called Jersey, he did not believe in the devil. In fact, as a mature, highly experienced psychiatrist, he expected that this case would resolve his ongoing effort to prove to himself, as scientifically as possible, that there were absolutely no grounds for such beliefs. Yet what he discovered could not be explained away simply as madness or by any standard clinical diagnosis. Through a series of unanticipated events, Dr. Peck found himself thrust into the role of exorcist, and his desire to treat and help Jersey led him down a path of blurred boundaries between science and religion. Once there, he came face-to-face with deeply entrenched evil and ultimately witnessed the overwhelming healing power of love. In Glimpses of the Devil, Dr. Peck's celebrated gift for integrating psychiatry and religion is demonstrated yet again as he recounts his journey from skepticism to eventual acknowledgment of the reality of an evil spirit, even at the risk of being shunned by the medical establishment. In the process, he also finds himself compelled to confront the larger paradox of free will, of a commitment to goodness versus enslavement to the forms of evil, and the monumental clash of forces that endangers both sanity and the soul. Glimpses of the Devil is unquestionably among Scott Peck's most powerful, scrupulously written, and important books in many years. At once deeply sensitive and intensely chilling, it takes a clear-eyed look at one of the most mysterious and misunderstood areas of human experience.

Gli Angeli di Wakán Tanka: una ternera storia per capire la relazione tra uomo e cane
by Orlando EijoOrlando Eijo ci offre un nuovo modo di comprendere il rapporto tra uomo e cane, e con esso la nostra stessa natura di esseri umani, sia sotto l’aspetto biologico che spirituale. Questa volta è attraverso una tenera storia che lascerà nel lettore la sensazione di una deliziosa brezza primaverile. Francisco, un uomo vedovo desideroso di dare sempre di più, è appena andato in pensione dopo aver lavorato tutta la vita. Con i figli ormai indipendenti, la sua casa solitaria diventa una prigione silenziosa che lo deprime. I figli decidono così di regalargli un cucciolo di border collie per fargli compagnia. Questo cucciolo lo porterà ad iniziare una nuova attività, il disc dog, approfondendolo al punto di incontrare il volto spirituale e profondo della relazione tra uomo e cane sin dal suo inizio quando, secondo la leggenda Sioux, fu il Grande Spirito, Wakán Tanka , che inviò i lupi come suoi angeli per aiutare l'essere umano a percorrere questo passaggio della vita. Con le profonde conversazioni di Francisco con suo figlio Jorge, psicologo, il lettore troverà l’opportunità di apprendere concetti di psicologia canina e umana in un modo chiaro e bello, non solo comprendendo i nostri comportamenti, ma approfondendo l'amore per la vita come il Grande Spirito volle insegnare con i suoi inviati a quattro zampe. Il piccolo border collie porterà grandi cambiamenti nella vita di Francisco e in quella di altri personaggi della storia, una storia che il lettore divorerà dall'inizio alla fine avidamente e senza sforzo. Recensioni Il consacrato poeta, narratore, critico, insegnante alle Università di Belgrado, Lubiana e Venezia, Octavio Prenz, scrisse da Trieste (Italia) su questa prima opera narrativa di Eijo "la sorpresa è stata più che piacevole, perché sa raccontare con una prosa fluida che suscita l'interesse del lettore e lo invita a continuare a leggere. Mi ha fatto scoprire cose che ignoravo e che arricchiscono, (Orlando Eij

Glaucoma: A Guide from Dr. Harry Quigley
by Harry QuigleyIf you or a member of your family has been told that you have glaucoma, or, if you have glaucoma and want to be sure that the treatment you're receiving is right for you, this patient-oriented guide was designed to answer the many questions you may have. The guide gives authoritative answers, easily understood explanations, helpful suggestions, and life-style advice. It won't matter if you are not a medical specialist, since it is written in plain English. Most glaucoma patients retain good vision and live a normal life. The solutions given can take the stress out of dealing with glaucoma and should maximize the chance that no further injury to your ability to see will occur. There is good evidence that patients who try to learn more about their medical care do better in the long run. The author is Dr. Harry A. Quigley, Director of the Glaucoma Center of Excellence of the Wilmer Ophthalmological Institute, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. He has 40 years' experience caring for glaucoma, researching its treatments, and has performed 10,000 medical and surgical procedures for this disease. His 350 published papers on glaucoma represent the work that is most quoted by other eye doctors in the last 30 years. He was the Editor-in-Chief of the premier vision research journal, Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science. No other living ophthalmologist has received the Friedenwald Award (ARVO), the Doyne Medal (Oxford Ophthalmological Congress), the Jackson Lectureship (AAO), and the American Glaucoma Society Lectureship. The guide has quick "Take Home" summaries at the start of each section with the most important information. For those wishing to know much more, detailed explanations, drawings and photographs follow. The sections are designed to answer the questions that patients ask, as well as the questions that they should have asked. For those who know little about their glaucoma, it begins with a simple introduction to the disease. However, those who want in depth information will find discussions of how the disease is diagnosed, what the treatment options are, and how to live a normal life with glaucoma. There are not perfect answers to every question about glaucoma. Where there is controversy, the different sides of the issue are presented to help you and your doctor to make the better choice. There is consideration given to alternative approaches to therapy. There is no cure for glaucoma, and we cannot yet restore vision once it is lost. The guide presents ways to continue life at a high level, whatever the stage of glaucoma.

The Glass Half Full: How Optimists Get What They Want From Life - and Pessimists Can Too
by Suzanne C. SegerstromRose-colored glasses may look silly, but they're actually quite practical. In The Glass Half Full, psychologist Suzanne Segerstrom surveys the scientific data on optimism (including her own award-winning research) to reveal that it's not what you believe about the future that matters, but what you do about it. While pessimists debate whether their goals are attainable, optimists are out there trying to achieve them. Without insisting that you learn to "think positive," The Glass Half Full teaches you practical ways to appropriate the habits and skills that optimists use to get what they want from life. Segerstrom - who reluctantly admits her research on the topic has transformed her into an optimist -imparts the lesson with a mix of humor and intelligence that will convince even the most cynical readers that a brighter tomorrow might be just around the corner.
