11 Days at the Edge
by Michael WombacherRevolutionary idealist and vocal cultural critic Andrew Cohen promotes a new spiritual paradigm in this exploration of a true visionary's controversial school of thought. Though Cohen was once a teacher of personal enlightenment, he now quests for a joint spiritual longing and humanitarian love-two forces that enable and empower each other to the point where enlightenment becomes evolution. Uncompromising in his call for human transformation, Cohen is presented as an illustrious spiritual figure whose liberated consciousness and ruthless deconstruction of the culture around him have kept everyone talking; in 2004, he was invited to address the Parliament of World Religions, an unusual honor for a man buoyed by no established spiritual tradition and unyielding in his demand for integrity.
11 Days in December
by Stanley WeintraubIn 11 Days In December, master historian and biographer Stanley Weintraub tells the remarkable story of the Battle of the Bulge as it has never been told before, from frozen foxholes to barn shelters to boxcars packed with wretched prisoners of war. In late December 1944, as the Battle of the Bulge neared its climax, a German loudspeaker challenge was blared across GI lines in the Ardennes: "How would you like to die for Christmas?" In the inhospitable forest straddling Belgium, France, and Luxembourg, only the dense, snow-laden evergreens recalled the season. Most troops hardly knew the calendar day they were trying to live through, or that it was Hitler's last, desperate effort to alter the war's outcome. Yet the final Christmas season of World War II matched desperation with inspiration. When he was offered an ultimatum to surrender the besieged Belgian town of Bastogne, Brigadier General Anthony McAuliffe defied the Germans with the memorable one-word response, "Nuts!" And as General Patton prayed for clear skies to allow vital airborne reinforcements to reach his trapped men, he stood in a medieval chapel in Luxembourg and spoke to God as if to a commanding general: "Sir, whose side are you on?" His prayer was answered. The skies cleared, the tide of battle turned, and Allied victory in World War II was assured. Christmas 1944 proved to be one of the most fateful days in world history. Many men did extraordinary things, and extraordinary things happened to ordinary men. "A clear cold Christmas," Patton told his diary, "lovely weather for killing Germans, which seems a bit queer, seeing whose birthday it is." Peace on earth and good will toward men would have to wait. 11 Days in December is unforgettable.

11 Days in December: Christmas at the Bulge 1944
by Stanley WeintraubThe Allied troops huddled and died in mist and mud, trapped in pockets by driving rain and snow. No one had expected Hitler to amass forces secretly and break through the lines of the Ardennes forest, or the fierce fighting that was to be called the Battle of the Bulge, and the Allied troops desperately lacked food, supplies, arms and ammunition. The only way to get supplies was by air. The only way to win was to conduct air strikes. If only the weather would clear. Then George S. Patton strode into a Luxembourg chapel and began a private prayer with "Sir, whose side are you on?" The weather cleared. Weintraub (arts and humanities emeritus, Pennsylvania State U. ) takes readers through some of the most harrowing days in history, giving insights from commanders, soldiers, and even prisoners of war like Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)

11 Principles of a Reagan Conservative
by Paul KengorPerhaps no other president's name is invoked by politicians as much as Ronald Reagan's. Every election, as presidential hopefuls jockey for the Republican nomination, each one claims to be a Reagan conservative. But are these candidates truly carrying on the mantle of Ronald Reagan, or are they abusing the memory of our great president? What did Ronald Reagan really believe? In 11 Principles of a Reagan Conservative, biographer Paul Kengor analyzes Ronald Reagan's speeches and actions to paint a full, accurate picture of his beliefs. Kengor identifies these principles that lie at the crux of Reagan's conservatism; Freedom, Faith, Family, Sanctity and Dignity of Human Life, American Exceptionalism, The Founders' Wisdom and Vision, Lower Taxes, Limited Government, Peace Through Strength, Anti-Communism, and Belief in the Individual. And it is through these principles that Reagan's modern emulators may create a successful, conservative future.Many a politician has asked: What would Reagan do if he were president now? Where would Reagan stand on today's issues? Who is the next Ronald Reagan? Paul Kengor dissects Reagan's presidency and provides decisive conclusions. The answers to some of these questions may surprise conservatives and liberals alike.
11 Rules for Creating Value in the Social Era
by Nilofer MerchantThe era of social technologies provides seemingly endless opportunity, both for individuals and organizations. But it's also the subject of seemingly endless hype. Yes, social tools allow us to do things entirely differently-but how do you really capitalize on that?In 11 Rules for Creating Value in the Social Era, the newest in Harvard Business Review's line of digital books (HBR Singles), social strategist and insightful blogger Nilofer Merchant argues that "social" is much more than "media." Smart companies are letting social become the backbone of their business models, increasing their speed and flexibility by pursuing openness and fluidity. These organizations don't operate like the powerful "800-pound gorillas" of yesteryear-but instead act more like a herd of 800 gazelles, moving together across a savannah, outrunning the competition.This ebook offers new rules for creating value, leading, and innovating in our rapidly changing world. These social era rules are both provocative and grounded in reality-they cover thorny challenges like forsaking hierarchy and control for collaboration; getting the most out of all talent; allowing your customers to become co-creators in your organization; inspiring employees through purpose in a world where money alone no longer wields that power; and soliciting community investment in an idea so that it can take hold and grow.The strategies of the Industrial Era-or even the Information Age-will not be enough for the Social Era. Read 11 Rules for Creating Value in the Social Era to get ready to meet the challenges of this new age and thrive.HBR Singles provide brief yet potent business ideas, in digital form, for today's thinking professional.Editorial ReviewsNamed a "Best Business Book of 2012" by Fast Company"Ms. Merchant's new work provides a provocative vision of the future of both what organizations and what work might look like, yet grounded in real businesses today...this will inspire ideas and thought about what running a business really means." - Forbes.com"Every CEO, CMO, and decision maker needs to read this.

11 de marzo de 2004: El día del mayor atentado de la historia de España
by Mercedes CabreraUna colección única que cuenta nuestro largo siglo xx en 7 libros para 7 fechas clave. No todos los días son iguales. Solemos abordar la historia a partir de arcos de tiempo dilatados. Pero ¿qué sucede si, por una vez, centramos la atención en los instantes concretos que más han marcado nuestro pasado colectivo? Los protagonistas, sus acciones, sus emociones, sus deseos, sus dudas y sus errores pasan al centro del relato, irrumpen con la fuerza de la imprevisibilidad, y los revivimos como si fuera la primera vez. En esta novedosa colección, algunos de los mejores historiadores nos muestran que nada puede darse por sentado, y cómo ciertos acontecimientos pueden dejar un rastro profundo en un país. A las 7.36 del 11 de marzo de 2004, tres días antes de las elecciones generales, se produjeron diez explosiones casi simultáneas en cuatro trenes de cercanías de Madrid. El resultado fueron 192 muertos, 1.857 heridos y un terremoto político cuyas reverberaciones aún marcan la sociedad española. Mercedes Cabrera, prestigiosa historiadora y candidata al Parlamento en esas elecciones, narra desapasionadamente el atentado, la guerra informativa que siguió, la persecución y muerte de los terroristas y el largo epílogo político y judicial de un atentado brutal que sacudió España y fracturó muchos de los consensos previos. La crítica ha dicho sobre la colección:«Una serie para tener muy en cuenta.»Manuel Rodríguez Rivero, Babelia, El País «Una historia en la que los protagonistas son las personas, los individuos y no tanto la abrumadora y fría erudición de los hechos y los datos.»Fernando Prieto Arellano, La Vanguardia
11 de septiembre 1973: Esa semana
by Isabel Allende Bussi50 años después del Golpe, la hija menor de Salvador Allende relata qué ocurrió durante esa fatídica semana. El martes 11 de septiembre la autora de este libro partió en su automóvil a La Moneda para acompañar a su padre, el presidente Salvador Allende, en la resistencia al golpe de Estado. Salió del palacio antes del bombardeo y, desde ese momento, tuvo que pasar por situaciones angustiantes e insólitas antes de salir con su familia, en calidad de exiliadas, a México, el sábado 15 de septiembre. Este libro, un ejercicio de memoria de lo acontecido durante esa semana, ofrece por primera vez un panorama íntimo de cómo la familia Allende Bussi tuvo que lidiar con episodios dolorosos y resguardados en la intimidad hasta hoy: la muerte del padre, el bombardeo a Tomás Moro, el entierro anónimo en Viña del Mar, la rápida salida de su hermana Beatriz "Tati" Allende con el cuerpo diplomático cubano, el asilo familiar en la Embajada de México y la -hasta último minuto- angustiosa salida al país mediante la valiente gestión del embajador Gonzalo Martínez. Isabel Allende Bussi ofrece una poderosa y pormenorizada evocación de esa semana, en que la gesta del presidente de resistir hasta el final impactó al mundo entero.
