In the long tradition of the anti-hero in English literature, award-winning author Daniel Jacob has created a whole bunch of them - each able to stand shoulder to shoulder with a Flashman or anyone from the pages of a Waugh novel. With the touch of a Tom Sharpe for grand farce, the grotesque Crooke-Wells siblings trace their mean, mendacious and downright nasty steps through a series of plots and pitfalls in their attempt to accumulate unearned and entirely unmerited wealth. Standing like ...

There are more opportunities than ever before in our history. But with one caveat. They are not the same as they used to be. Times have changed. And to take advantage of these changes, you have to adjust and adapt to the world we live in today. The bad news is that there will always be problems and challenges that need to be met and overcome. But the good news is that your possibilities are unlimited. This book is the second in the subject of selling and closing sales. The first one, "The ...

In two thousand and two, I undertook an investigation to determine the fundamental principles and basic principles underlying all selling. A thorough research culminated, in two thousand and thirteen, in the heuristically discovered (trial and error) Natural Laws Of Selling, and the self-evident, irrevocable basic principles that provide the bedrock and driving energy behind all sales techniques and methods. It turned out that this was hiding in plain sight all the time, but only revealed ...

If we are willing to shift our approach to church, we will better connect with increasingly heterogeneous cultures. This shifting requires curation. Church leaders must learn to be curators! Churches in modernity were set up to facilitate a particular kind of experience with God. Church was its own (protected) culture. In the wake of postmodernity, facilitated by new forms of (digital) communication, we are entering a new epoch in the history of the church. Curators manage the tasks of con...

This edited volume helps bridge the elusive gap between theory and practice in dealing with the issue of "security" broadly conceived. A quarter of a century has passed since the crumbling of the Berlin Wall. Yet our notions of security remain mired in Cold War thinking whose realist ethos is predicated on holding the nation state's power, interests, and survival as the guiding unit of analysis in international relations. Security is ever changing. Confronting new dangers to the individual...

It critically examines taken for granted psychiatric practices both past and current, shedding light on the often political nature of psychiatry and reconceptualizing its central and sensitive issues ...

The analytic literature has heretofore been silent about the issues inherent in the nuclear threat. As a groundbreaking exploration of new psychological terrain, Psychoanalysis and the Nuclear Threat will function as a source book for what, it is hoped, will be the continuing effort of analysts and other mental health professionals to explore and engage in-depth nuclear issues.This volume provides panoramic coverage of the dynamic and clinical considerations that follow fr...
