Women who run with the wolves

Within every woman there lives a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. She is the Wild Woman, who represents the instinctual nature of women. But she is an endangered species. For though the gifts of wildish nature belong to us at birth, society's attempt to "civilize" us into rigid roles has muffled the deep, life-giving messages of our own souls. In Women Who Run With the Wolves, Dr. Estes unfolds rich intercultural myths, fairy tales, and stories, many from her own family, in order to help women reconnect with the fierce, healthy, visionary attributes of this instinctual nature. Through the stories and commentaries in this remarkable book, we retrieve, examine, love, and understand the Wild Woman, and hold her against our deep psyches as one who is both magic and medicine. Dr. Estes has created a new lexicon for describing the female psyche. Fertile and life-giving, it is a psychology of women in the truest sense, a knowing of the soul

Chariots Of The Gods?

This world-famous bestseller has withstood the test of time, inspiring countless books and films, including the author's own popular sequel, The Eyes of the Sphinx. But here is where it all began -- von Daniken's startling theories of our earliest encounters with alien worlds, based upon his lifelong studies of ancient ruins, lost cities, potential spaceports, and a myriad of hard scientific facts that point to extraterrestrial intervention in human history. Most incredible of all, however, is von Daniken's theory that we ourselves are the descendants of these galactic pioneers -- and the archeological discoveries that prove it... -- An alien astronaut preserved in a pyramid -- Thousand-year-old spaceflight navigation charts -- Computer astronomy from Incan and Egyptian ruins -- A map of the land beneath the ice cap of Antarctica -- A giant spaceport discovered in the Andes

Twilight Saga-Breaking Dawn

This book consists of three parts. It is the last book in the Twilight Saga and brings the loose ends in the story together, bringing the tale of Bella, Jacob, and Edward to an end. In the first part, Bella marries Edward and they spend their honeymoon on an island belonging to Carlisle, called Isle Esme. Soon, Bella is pregnant and realizes that she is carrying a child which is half-human and half-vampire. Bella and Edward decide to return to their home in Washington. Edward is concerned about the rapid growth of the foetus and believes that it will be fatal to Bella, and he wants the foetus to be aborted. Nevertheless, Bella wants to have the child. In the next part of the book, Jacob Black's Quileute wolf pack who are anti-vampire, want to destroy the unborn vampire child as well as Bella. Jacob does not agree, and in protest leaves the pack and forms his own. The birth of the over-grown vampire child leaves Bella half dead due to the loss of blood, and Edward injects his own poisoned blood into her to save her life. This transforms her into a vampire and Bella's new life begins as a vampire. The later parts of the story revolve around the newborn vampire child, Renesmee, who is growing at a rapid rate. Some members of the vampire clan think that the child is not a vampire but an immortal and want it killed. They plan to kill the parents of the child as well with the help of the Volturi, the governing coven of vampires. The story is about what the Cullen family does under this situation and the confusion among the vampire community. The book received the British Book Award for ‘Children’s Book of the Year’ in 2009. Translated into 38 languages, the book has also been adapted into a two-part movie. The book's first print sold 3.7 million copies. Over 6 million copies were sold in 2008, and it was the 3rd best selling novel of that year. The book was also chosen as the ‘Teen Choice Book of the Year’ and won the ‘Author of the Year’ award for Meyer.

Words That Work

In Words That Work, Luntz offers a behind-the-scenes look at how the tactical use of words and phrases affects what we buy, who we vote for, and even what we believe in. With chapters like The Ten Rules of Successful Communication and The 21 Words and Phrases for the 21st Century, he examines how choosing the right words is essential. Nobody is in a better position to explain than Frank Luntz: He has used his knowledge of words to help more than two dozen Fortune 500 companies grow. He'll tell us why Rupert Murdoch's six-billion-dollar decision to buy DirectTV was smart because satellite was more cutting edge than digital cable, and why pharmaceutical companies transitioned their message from treatment to prevention and wellness. If you ever wanted to learn how to talk your way out of a traffic ticket or talk your way into a raise, this book's for you.

Living on the Fault Line

The fault line -- that dangerous, unstable seam in the economy where powerful innovations and savage competition meet and create market-shattering tremors. Every company lives on it; no manager can control it. In the original edition of Living on the Fault Line, Geoffrey Moore presented a compelling argument for using shareholder value (or share price) as the key driver in management decisions. Moore now revisits his argument in the post-Internet bubble world, proving that the methods he espouses are more germane than ever and showing companies how to use them to survive and thrive in today's demanding economy. Extending the themes of Crossing the Chasm and Inside the Tornado, his first two books on the dynamics of the high-tech markets, Moore shows why sensitivity to stock price is the single most important lever for managing in the future, both as a leading indicator of shifts in competitive advantage and as an employee motivator for making necessary changes in organizations heretofore impervious to change. This revised and updated edition includes: A deeper emphasis on core versus context, which has emerged as the key distinction in allocating resources to improve shareholder value A new Competitive Advantage Grid that will aid managers in achieving and sustaining competitive advantage, the most important component in managing for shareholder value An expanded Value Discipline Model as it relates to the Competitive Advantage Grid Analysis of the powerful new trend toward core/context analysis and outsourcing production duties Updated models of organizational change for each stage of market development As disruptive forces continue to buffet the marketplace and rattle the staid practices of the past, Moore offers a brilliant set of navigational tools to help meet today's most compelling management challenges.
