Blah Blah Blah: What To Do When Words Don't Work Marshall Cavendish International (Asia) Pte Ltd
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
Ever been to so many meetings that you couldn't get your work done? Ever fallen asleep during a bulletpoint presentation? Ever watched the news and ended up knowing less? Welcome to the land of Blah Blah Blah.The Problem: We talk so much that we don't think very well. Powerful as words are, we fool ourselves when we think our words alone can detect, describe, and defuse the multifaceted problems of today. They can't-and that's bad, because words have become our default thinking tool.The Solution: This book offers a way out of blah-blah-blah. It's called "Vivid Thinking."In Dan Roam's first acclaimed book, "The Back of the Napkin," he taught readers how to solve problems and sell ideas by drawing simple pictures. Now he proves that Vivid Thinking is even more powerful. This technique combines our verbal and visual minds so that we can think and learn more quickly, teach and inspire our colleagues, and enjoy and share ideas in a whole new way.The Destination: No more blah-blah-blah. Through Vivid Thinking, we can make the most complicated subjects suddenly crystal clear. Whether trying to understand a Harvard Business School class, or what went down in the Conan versus Leno battle for late-night TV, or what Einstein thought about relativity, Vivid Thinking provides a way to clarify anything.Through dozens of guided examples, Roam proves that anyone can apply this systematic approach, from leftbrain types who hate to draw to right-brainers who hate to write. This isn't just a book about improving communications, presentations, and ideation; it's about removing the blah-blah- blah from your life for good.

All My Own Words Pitch Publishing Ltd
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
All My Own Words is the remarkable story of a kid with a paper round who dreamed of a career in Fleet Street, the historic fulcrum of the British press. In just a few short years, he achieved that ambition and held two of the most prestigious posts in sports writing, only to be sacked for plagiarism when collating material for a tennis annual. Neil Harman didn't have the proper qualifications when he got his first job on a local paper in Southend, but he passed his O-level retakes and set off on a journey packed with incident and controversy. Harman rose to become the leading football voice on the Daily Mail and later the man they called 'Mr Tennis' on The Times. All My Own Words charts the extraordinary twists and turns of a special sports-writing voyage, as Harman recounts colourful tales and brings us exclusive insight into characters such as Sir Alex Ferguson, Brian Clough, Graham Taylor, David Beckham, Laurie Cunningham, Sir Andy Murray, Tim Henman, John McEnroe, Pete Sampras, Rafael Nadal, Steffi Graf and Martina Navratilova.

Opis - Pierwsze na świecie świadectwo ofiary zbrodni honorowej. Miała siedemnaście lat i zakochała się: zhańbiła rodzinę. Więc rodzina wydała na nią wyrok śmierci... Pokochała go pierwszą miłością. Myślała, że się z nią ożeni. Ale ukochany zniknął, a ona odkryła, że jest w ciąży. A w jej świecie to najcięższa zbrodnia...

Brat może bezkarnie zabić siostrę, matka - córkę, kolejną bezużyteczną dziewczynkę, jaka się urodzi. Tu kobiecie odbiera się godność, a nawet życie zgodnie z odwiecznym obyczajem i uświęconą tradycją. A śmierć jest karą dla dziewczyny, która zhańbi rodzinę. Tak jak Souad. Wyrok wydaje jej ojciec. Szwagier dokonuje egzekucji. Oblewa Souad benzyną i podpala... SOUAD przeżyła - cudem, ale rodzina usiłowała zabić ją nawet w szpitalu. Na zawsze jednak pozostanie straszliwie okaleczona - na ciele i duszy. I wciąż musi się ukrywać; dopóki żyje, jej rodzinę okrywa hańba.

Letter from America Penguin
Powieści i opowiadania
When Alistair Cooke retired in March 2004 and then died a few weeks later, he was acclaimed by many as one of the greatest broadcasters of all time. His Letters from America, which began in 1946 and continued uninterrupted every week until early 2004, kept the world in touch with what was happening in Cooke's wry, liberal and humane style. This selection, made largely by Cooke himself and supplemented by his literary executor, gives us the very best of these legendary broadcasts. Over half have never appeared in print before. It is a remarkable portrait of a continent - and a man. Fred Astaire 26 June 1987 Movie stars don't make it. Nor statesmen. Not Prime Ministers, or dictators unless they die in office. Not even a world-famous rock star, unless he's assassinated. But last Monday, none of the three national television networks hesitated about the story that would lead the evening news. On millions of little screens in this country and I don't doubt in many other countries around the world, the first shots were of an imp, a graceful wraith, a firefly in impeccable white tie and tails. And for much longer than the lead story usually runs, for a full five minutes on NBC, we were given a loving retrospective of the dead man, ending with the firm declaration by Nureyev that 'He was not just the best ballroom dancer, or tap dancer, he was simply the greatest, most imaginative, dancer of our time.' And the newsmen were right to remind us of the immortal comment of the Hollywood mogul, who, with the no-nonsense directness of an expert, reported on Fred Astaire's first film test: 'Has enormous ears, can't act, can't sing, dances a little.' That Hollywood mogul, long gone, spent his life ducking round corners, to avoid being identified as the oaf who looked in the sky and never saw the brightest star. However, that expert opinion was, as the lawyers say, controlling at the time and in Astaire's first movies, there was no thought of allowing him to act or sing. But not for long. And thanks to the invention of television, and the need to fill vast stretches of the afternoon and night with old movies, it has been possible for my daughter, for instance, to claim Fred Astaire as her favourite film star from the evidence of all the movies he made fifteen, ten, five, three years before she was born. When I got the news on Monday evening here, and realized with immediate professional satisfaction that the BBC had smartly on hand a musical obituary tribute to him I put together eight years ago, I couldn't help recalling the casual, comic way this and similar radio obituaries came about. I was in London at the end of 1979, and Richard Rodgers - one of the two or three greatest of American songwriters - had just died, I believe on New Year's Eve or the night before. Britons, by then, were getting accustomed, without pain, to making what used to be a two-day Christmas holiday into a ten-day much-needed rest. For all laborious research purposes, the BBC was shut up. And there was no retrospective programme on the life and music of Richard Rodgers in the BBC's archives. Of course, in a gramophone library that looks like an annex to the Pentagon, there were hundreds, perhaps thousands, of recordings of his songs. The SOS went out to a writer, a producer, and - I presume - a man who had the key to the gramophone library. The silent place was unlocked, and the three of them laboured through the day to put together an hour's tribute to Richard Rodgers. It was done. It was competent enough, but rushed to an impossible deadline. This hasty improvisation happened just when my own music producer and I, who had enjoyed working together for six years or so on American popular music, were wondering what we could offer next. We'd done a sketch history of jazz, through individuals. We'd gone through all the popular music of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, and were stumped for a new series, at which point I asked if we mightn't go and talk to the head of the channel, network or whatever. We went in, and the genial boss asked me what we had in mind. 'A morgue,' I said. A what? 'Where', I asked, 'is your morgue?' He was not familiar with the word, a newspaper term. 'Well,' I said, 'all newspapers have them.' 'How d'you mean?' 'If, I explained, 'Mrs Thatcher died tonight and you woke up and read a two-sentence obituary, you'd be rightly outraged. But if you saw a two-page obituary, you'd take it for granted. When d'you suppose it was written?' 'That's right,' he said thoughtfully. What I was proposing was a morgue of the Americans eminent in popular music and jazz, so they'd not get caught short again. A splendid idea, the man said; pick your stars. We made a list and were commissioned to return to America and finish all of them. Naturally, we looked at a calendar, and birthdates of Hoagy Carmichael, Earl Hines, Harold Arlen, Ethel Merman, Stephane Grappelli, Ella Fitzgerald. But then, in a spasm of panic, we thought of two giants - if the word can be used about two comparative midgets: Irving Berlin and Fred Astaire. Berlin was then 91. And Fred Astaire was just crowding 80. The boss man, to whom the idea of a morgue had been, only a few minutes before, quaint if not morbid, wondered what we were waiting for. Better get busy, at once, on Berlin and then on Astaire. I remember doing the Astaire obit, then and there, while I was still in London. Meanwhile, we'd simply pray every night that the Lord would keep Irving Berlin breathing till I could get home and get busy. I remember being picked up in a car by a charming young girl to get to the BBC and record my Astaire narration - there wasn't a moment to lose. She asked me, in the car, what the script was that I was clutching. 'It's an obituary', I said, 'of Fred Astaire.' 'Fred Astaire,' she shrieked, 'dead?' and almost swerved into a bus. 'Of course, he's not dead,' I said, 'but he's going to be one day.' She, too, was new to the institution of a morgue. I recalled that when I was a correspondent for a British paper in the United States, and when for example. Dean Acheson was appointed Secretary of State, the first cable I had from my editor said, 'Welcome Acheson obituary soonest.' How ghoulish, she said. I imagine that to two generations at least, it's assumed that Fred Astaire, this slim, pop-eyed newcomer to Hollywood who couldn't act, couldn't sing, danced a little, only made a fool of the mogul through the movies he made, with Ginger Rogers, in the mid- and late 1930s. But long before then, from the mid-1920s on, he was already an incomparable star - as a dancer - to theatre audiences both in New York and in London. Perhaps more in London than anywhere, certainly in the 1920s, with the early Gershwin hits, Funny Face and Lady Be Good, and lastly, in 1933, in Cole Porter's Gay Divorce (which was the title of the theatre show; Hollywood would not then allow so shocking a title and called the movie version, The Gay Divorcee). Of all the thousands of words that have been written this week, and will be written, there is a passage I went back to on Tuesday night which, I think, as well as anything I know, sums up Astaire's overall appeal - the appeal that takes in but transcends one's admiration for his dancing and for his inimitably intimate singing style. This was written in November 1933, by a theatre critic who had so little feel for dancing that he marvelled why London should go on about 'Mr Astaire's doing well enough what the Tiller Girls at Blackpool do superbly'. The critic, the writer, was James Agate, the irascible, dogmatic, opinionated but brilliant journalist, and I believe the best critic of acting we have had this century. He is writing his review of Gay Divorce, after declaring yet again his contempt for musical comedy as an entertainment for idiots, deploring the play's plot and the acting and hoping 'Micawberishly, for something to turn up'. 'Presently,' he wrote, 'Mr Fred Astaire obliged, and there is really no more to be said.' Except

factor-L Handbook of the New Medicine - The Truth about Dr. Hamer's Discoveries Books on Demand
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
Prologue Notification Belief Knowledge Dr. Hamer's New Medicine The formula: DHS - HH - SBS More than 30 years ago, I entitled an article about Frank Stelzer and his free piston engine "An inventor is a goofball". Someone or other who, at that time, read this 30-point headline probably may have thought that it wasn't the best way to begin a friendship. Frank Stelzer read the rest of the article, called me and said, "That's right, but...." "But what?" I asked. "Unless the invention speaks," he responded. Then he invited me, demonstrated the Stelzer engine, and made the invention speak. Tip: If you never liked prologues, or you would like to go straight to the topic Conflicts and the New Medicine, turn directly to Introduction to the New Medicine by Andreas Kroitzsch on page XX! The editor Since that time we have been friends. Very good friends! And Stelzer turned "his" introductory sentence into a trademark: "An inventor is a goofball - unless the invention speaks!" I am telling you about this, for, regarding Dr. Hamer's New Medicine we are dealing with a similar phenomenon. Like Stelzer, who turned everything that was imaginable in engine manufacturing upside down, and only received buying offers intended to keep his invention in the drawer, because his engine practically runs without wear, Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer, with the new Medicine, has also turned everything upside down in his area. And: "The invention speaks!" If you know our throwaway society, which turned sales into a god and consumption into his apostles, you won't be surprised that Hamer hasn't found a lobby either among those who have the power and the money. On the contrary. Someone like Geerd Hamer jeopardizes the income and the position of power of the ruling people, which was the main reason why he was arrested in France in the fall of 2004. Seventy-year-old Dr. Hamer is supposed to serve three years in prison. But that is another story, which would go beyond the scope of this book. If you would like to know more about the personal history of Dr. Hamer, you are be best served by reading his autobiography Einer gegen alle. Even if you don't agree with all of his conclusions and assumptions regarding his persecution, they are worth knowing about. Everyone can then form his or her own opinion accordingly. It is easier when it comes to the discovery of the New Medicine, where Hamer didn't leave any room for speculation. There is no room for belief or personality cult; there is only this one way of comprehension that, ultimately, gives us the certainty to be among the knowing. As is the case with any other education based on assured knowledge, the application of the New Medicine always leaves a result that can be checked. The scientific basis we often miss painfully - in the truest sense of the meaning - in the traditional medicine constitutes the foundation of Dr. Hamer's discovery. Hamer himself never left any room for exceptions. His statement is clear and precise without any room for speculation: "If there is only one single case the New Medicine can't be applied to, it is wrong!" The New Medicine proves itself again and again with every single case. The formula: DHS - HH - SBS, which will be explained at length in this book, doesn't allow for exceptions. The New Medicine knows no "maybe", no "possibly", and no "potentially." Hamer's discovery puts the key to the so-called diseases in our hands. The knowledge of the principles of the New Medicine helps us lose the fear of the diseases, because we understand the biological processes and can predict them in their entirety. But it is the small checkable truths we speak every day and have internalized since childhood in such a way that often prevents us from taking one more step towards understanding. Every one of us has been in a situation that was "hard to stomach" or "got under his or her skin?" These are all discreet clues showing that we carry the mechanisms and principles of the New Medicine in our sub-conscience. They are wasted - as long as we are not familiar with Hamer's New Medicine. It's like learning the times tables. Not until we know that two is the sum (result) of one plus one can we find our way to mathematics via digits and work with them sensibly. Knowledge always provides us with added value. This book helps you generate added value from your latent knowledge of the connection between situations and conditions. You should be willing to leave well-trodden paths. The ability to change the point of view in order to get to know new perspectives will also be helpful. You get the chance to replace old fears with new knowledge. Needless to say, that comes with a price tag. You will have to take personal responsibility if you want to benefit from your new knowledge. The opinion of your environment, especially that of traditional physicians, politicians, and the pharmaceutical industry is contradictory to your newly acquired knowledge. That is inconvenient, because you are inconvenient for the prevailing opinion. Particularly, if you realize for yourself that knowledge and belief are complete opposites. In the past, you have given away your trust concerning medicine and health and you believed in the traditional physicians. You believed that they'd know. This belief is the price you pay for your new knowledge of Hamer's New Medicine. There are no gods in white coats. And - and that is important - the New Medicine won't provide any substitute gods for you, not even one. The discoverer of the New Medicine, Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer, can't take the orphaned throne either. He is a discoverer, not an inventor or even a savior. Even if some of his supporters would like to press him in that position in order to push the responsibility towards him. If you want to give the responsibility for yourself to Dr. Hamer or somebody else, you have not understood the New Medicine, which requires knowledge and makes belief (ignorance!) redundant. You can't believe in science, you can just practice and understand it. All you need to do so is common sense. An excellent education based on "memorizing" isn't necessary, especially not with Dr. Hamer's New Medicine. Natural laws are so plausible that everybody can check them by watching his or her own body; even if he or she was an illiterate person who would be introduced to the New Medicine by a reader or taleteller, because we all know our body and many of the so-called diseases. We are all experienced and competent specialists in this area. With the assistance of a handbook that explains the New Medicine, we can find the causes of our so-called diseases ourselves and lead the ongoing processes to what the traditional medicine calls healing. The processes that really take place are Meaningful Special Biological Programs (SBS). And these are the processes Hamer discovered, catalogued, and described in simple words in order to give the control over our body back to us again. All rights reserved (c) by FAKTuell
