Against a backdrop of escalating tension, in an England mismanaged by inept leadership, Napoleon Bonaparte is silently massing battle-hardened troops along the French coast in anticipation of a cross-Channel invasion. While Ireland violently protests English oppression, an unlikely hero emerges in the form of an Irish bare-knuckle boxer by the name of Wolfe Trant. Recruited from the depths of Newgate Prison by William Pitt, an ex-prime minister who now operates a covert spy ring, Wolfe's agenda is to infiltrate Napoleon's inner circle to determine the intended point of invasion. Wolfe is forced to partner with the enigmatic leader of the French Resistance, a woman known only as Primrose, as the two are pursued through the streets of Paris by the sinister minister of police. Hounded by larger political and economic forces that have a vested interest in their failure, Wolfe and Primrose are forced to redefine their ideas of trust and loyalty as they race against time to defeat the strategically brilliant plans of Bonaparte.

The very soil of Eclatan harbors a dread secret-as the first Nwtyrrans found when they came seeking energy to power their mighty civilization. For the crystalline sands that make the hillsides glow also stimulate extra-sensory talents in select individuals-most often those who favor their left, or spell-hand. Now, centuries after Nwtyrra's disastrous fall, spell-handers are branded with the spiral serpent to mark them outcast; those found to possess sinistral mind talents are killed.

Kier, a war-weary soldier and nobleman's bastard, has battled years to conceal the sinistral skills that could cost him his career-even his life. Rescued on the midnight streets by JonMarc, a streetwise slave and thief whose left hand bears the serpent brand, Kier suddenly finds himself bound by a blood debt to a self-serving miscreant whose recklessness could get them both killed. Their disdain is mutual. Yet when Kier's mysterious mentor, a monk of the reclusive Fithlon Brotherhood, foresees that a last remnant of the power that ultimately destroyed Nwtyrra will soon be discovered in Kier's war-torn homeland of Alcor, the two are charged by prophecy with the dread task of retrieving the powerful crystal before it can trigger further devastation.

Yet others seek the deadly prize. The Fithlon renegade Taranos desires its power to expand his own sinistral skills, that he might wreak brutal vengeance on a world that persecuted him. And the fanatical Covenant Priesthood covets it as a means to expose and annihilate all sinistrae.

Harried and pursued, Kier and JonMarc reach Alcor, only to find their quest impeded by brutal civil war. A half-blood, his loyalties torn, Kier battles treachery and political intrigue to save himself and his fractured land from treasonous conspiracy, while a captured JonMarc must discover his nascent sinistral skills and the secrets of his brutal past to win his way free.

But when Taranos wrests the perilous gemstone from them and uses it to unleash his ultimate revenge, Kier and JonMarc are forced to confront their deepest terrors to challenge him. In the end, neither the prophesies, the quest, nor the power itself are what they appear, and it is not sinistral talents, but the acknowledgment of their own uniqueness and deepening friendship, that enables them to defeat the Fithlon renegade and set themselves, and their world, on a path toward redemption.

The Coworker: The First Nate Castle Novel

# data[].attributes.description
Synopsis

For five years, two murders have lain unsolved and nearly forgotten in the police vault in the quiet little burg of Frederick, Maryland. Until a young lawyer turns up dead, and the familiar pattern of a the Coworker killer plunges the sleepy northern town back into darkness. As the body count begins to rise, it soon becomes chillingly obvious that this time the killer has no intention of stopping. 

Lacking a suspect, hounded for answers by the ravening media, the police have nowhere to turn but Nate Castle, College teacher by day, locally-renowned PI by night. The case of the faceless Coworker murders is the most demanding of his career. Nate is thrust into a spotlight he's been avoiding for the past decade. Somewhere out there is a predator against which Nate is the only defense, but the troubled detective has his own demons to fight. Haunted by regret, crippled by the bottle, Nate stands alone in the darkness, challenging a foe he cannot see.

Then the Coworker makes a small but critical mistake. And that's when-all hell breaks loose.

A disorder, which should have been fairly easy to diagnose and treat, leaves this young mother in a shocking and grim state for twenty years. Throughout her life there were warning signs, but nothing could have prepared her, her family or her doctors for the traumatic episodes she was to encounter. Deborah Hurley speaks frankly about what it felt like to lose all ability to feel, and think clearly, and how she fought desperately to live for the sake of her children.

Six women. One man. Seven secrets. One could ruin them all.

Kit is a twenty-five-year-old archaeology undergrad, who doesn't like to get her hands dirty. Life seems purposeless. But if she could track down her father, Roger, maybe her perspective would change.

The only problem-Roger is as rotten as the decomposing oranges in her back yard according to the women in her life: Ailish, her mother-an English literature professor who communicates in quotes and cliches, and who still hasn't learned how to express emotion on her face; Ivy, her half-sister-a depressed archaeologist, with a slight case of nymphomania who fled to America after a divorce to become a waitress; and Eleanor, Ivy's mother-a pediatric surgeon who embellishes her feelings with medical jargon, and named her daughter after "Intravenous."

Against all three women's wishes, Kit decides to find Roger.
Enter a sister Kit never knew about.
But everyone else did.

Wie die personliche Transformation durch Erziehung und Integration der intrapsychischen Familie auf die Gesellschaft ubertragen werden kann.

# data[].attributes.description
Dieses Buch entstand aus der Besprechung eines fruheren Textes, Das Ende des Patriarchats, zu dessen Uberarbeitung mich Juanjo Herrera, ehemaliger Kulturattache an der spanischen Botschaft in Moskau, angesichts unserer globalen Situation und meines jungsten Engagements fur die Transformation des Erziehungswesens ermutigt hatte. Ich nahm den Vorschlag an, doch bei der Uberarbeitung des Buches verwarf ich den fruheren Text und verfasste schlielich ein neues uberdimensionales Dokument, das ich in zwei Teile aufgliederte. Das Ergebnis waren ein Buch mit dem Titel Der patriarchale Geist (das in diesem Jahr von Urra in Italien veroffentlicht wird) und das vorliegende Werk (ebenfalls in Italien von Franco Angeli veroffentlicht), das ursprunglich den Titel trug Die Zivilisation: eine heilbare Krankhei trug.
In Kapitel 1 Eine komplexe Problematik und ihre verschwiegene Ursache" versuche ich aufzuzeigen, dass es an der Zeit ist zu begreifen, dass das, was wir Zivilisation nennen - das heit die patriarchalische Gesellschaft - bei weitem nicht an eine echte Zivilisation heranreicht, sondern eher als pathologische und heutzutage destruktiv veraltete Reaktion des Menschen auf die extrem traumatischen Bedingungen der Vergangenheit zu verstehen ist. 
 

Anschlieend, in Kapitel 2 Totila Albert und seine Vision einer dreieinigen Gesellschaft", spreche ich von der Person, die das Patriarchat bereits in den 1930er Jahren als Wurzel all unserer gesellschaftlichen Ubel anprangerte. Durch ihn habe ich nicht nur von der veralteten Barbarei des Patriarchats erfahren, sondern auch seine Vision einer gesunden Alternative kennengelernt. 
In Kapitel 3 Die Zivilisation als Hybris" fahre ich mit einer Reflexion uber die Ursprunge der Zivilisation fort. Meine These ist, dass die Zivilisation nicht nur aus einem groen Licht heraus geboren wurde, sondern dass sie zugleich vom Schatten, den dieses groe Licht warf, getroffen wurde: eine Transformation von der Wertschatzung wahrer Groe in narzisstische Grandiositat, die einen Teil des Ubergangs von der matristischen Kultur zum Patriarchat im mythologischen Zeitalter der Helden bildete. 
Ich habe dieses Buches mit Leidenschaft geschrieben und hoffe, dass mein kreativer Enthusiasmus auch im Leser Begeisterung auslosen und in der Welt etwas Gutes bewirken wird. Die Dinge, von denen ich darin spreche, sind meinen Freunden und Schulern vertraut, nicht aber dem breiten Publikum, zu dem ich uber das geschriebene Wort Zugang finden mochte. Ich hoffe sehr, dass es mir, so wie zuvor mit meinem Buch Changing Education to Change the World Die Erziehung andern, um die Welt zu andern" (derzeit in der spanischen, amerikanischen, portugiesischen und italienischen Version erhaltlich), gelingen mag, das Interesse der menschlichen Gemeinschaft dafur zu gewinnen, unser konservatives Erziehungssystem in den Dienst der personlichen und sozialen Entwicklung zu stellen. 
Ich ware zutiefst dankbar, wenn dieses Buch die Aufmerksamkeit der Machtigen dieser Welt auf meine Anregung lenken wurde, dass unsere Zukunft in ihren  


Handen liegt und dass es ebenso in ihrer Macht liegt, die Initiative zu starten, die sie zu unseren Rettern machen wurde, indem sie namlich die patriarchalische Erziehung in eine transformative Erziehung verwandeln. Denn dies ist meiner Meinung nach der einzige Weg, der es uns ermoglichen konnte, den unabwendbar scheinenden Verlauf der Geschichte zu andern.

The true story of a Marine's experience on the front lines of the Gulf War

# data[].attributes.description
This book is a true account of my experience as a Marine
in the Gulf War. I decided to tell my story in hopes of
developing, in the reader, a deeper respect for America's
veterans by revealing the extreme mental and physical sacrifices
a soldier must make during war. I want to show how our
own government, while fulfilling our duty, treated us, how
people get through such experiences and what those people
do to keep their sanity.
For me it was music and religion. I lived vicariously in
the songs; they allowed me to mentally release pent up emotions
and often, at times, the music would take me away to
a place where there was no danger. Belief in a supreme
being helped me to also cast away my fears. I had God to
confide in and it was a way to help make me feel like I had
some control over my destiny. It also helped me to accept
death.
I served two tours in the Gulf War. Marines did not have
the luxury of knowing that when our tour of duty was over
we could go home. We were there for the duration, no matter
how long that took. As the Commandant of the Marine
Corps put it so gracefully in the Saudi desert on a blistering
hot October day, "Your head and your ass are in my corner
and you will go home when I say you can go home!" War is
pure hell, no matter how quickly it ends or how long it lasts.
Ever since I came home from the Gulf War I have had to
deal with hearing things like "Oh, that was an easy war" or
"They didn't even fight, you guys had it easy." People kept
telling me "Oh, that wasn't a real war." Compared to other
wars, such as World War I, World War II, Korea, and more
recently Vietnam, the loss of life, on our side, was far less.
However, no war is easy and losing one life, let alone a few
hundred, is one too many. I hope to dispel these perceptions
and show what really happened in the Gulf War. The fact of
the matter is, as General Norman Schwartzkopf put it, "It's not
that the Iraqi's didn't fight, it's that our troops are just that
damn good!"
I hope to show the realities of war, which can be quite
unnerving and gut wrenching. Realities that were so
painful they have forced grown men to wound and even
kill themselves just to escape. Memories that cause them to
do drugs, drink and completely defile themselves for a
release from the pain, if only for a few hours. I want to
reveal the stark differences between what really happens in
war and what is reported to the American people. We all
had to change and adapt to our situation overseas in order
to survive, greatly changing all of our lives once we
returned home. As the Marine Corps always says, "Adapt,
overcome, and improvise!" In the past I had to apply this
esoteric phrase to many enigmatic cycles of my life in
order to overcome them.
Back when I was contemplating writing this book I was
taken by a quote from the movie Platoon, by Oliver Stone. At
the end of the movie, Charlie Sheen's character reflects on
his experiences and says, "Those of us who make it home
have an obligation to rebuild again and to teach the world
what we know." With this book, I hope to achieve this. Those
of us, who do make it, have made it for a reason. I think, for
me, that reason is the one so poignantly stated above; I have
an obligation to rebuild and to teach the world what I know.
Finally, I have included most of the letters I wrote home
while I was in the Gulf War. They contain many grammatical
errors and misspellings. This is because I included them in
this book exactly the way I wrote them in 1990/1991.

Subtle POWER: Unleash the Hidden Value Within

# data[].attributes.description
How do you cause a lasting breakthrough in human performance?
If you are a leader or aspiring leader who knows that increasing the effectiveness of your people is a major opportunity for the growth and success of your enterprise, then Gabriel Sakakeeny's Subtle POWER is a must read. 
Subtle POWER reveals a practical framework for understanding and upgrading the way your people think and act. Based on the highly effective Leadership, Creativity, and Power mindware, it teaches tools of self-management, communication, and leadership that can be utilized immediately and perfected with practice. Using what you learn here will enable you to unleash the hidden value in the human beings with whom you work and yourself. 
You will learn how to...
Create and deliver an inspiring future of increasing value by causing effective 
action in yourself and others while maintaining an integrated and balanced life.
Decrease drama, waste, and fear and increase valuable results. 
Intervene into ineffective meetings to produce action and results.
Get the results you want from others with high velocity and high quality.
Work effectively across organizational and cultural borders.
Effectively manage your career limiting reactions and behaviors.
These abilities and many more are available through acquiring Subtle POWER.

When addressing the question of what constitutes an effective leader, Gabriel Sakakeeny offers "Your job as a leader is to create and deliver an inspiring future of increasing value by causing effective action in yourself and others."  At a time when many businesses, from multinational corporations to start-ups, are realizing that the old paradigm of human resources management must yield to something more productive and successful, Sakakeeny's new book, Subtle Power, offers a fresh, reality-based collaboration structure founded on accountability, self-empowerment, and effective communication. With roots in the Human Potential Movement, Sakakeeny asks the reader to pause and reflect on language of tone, intellect, and spirit; language which has lost its integrity from unconscious overuse. He sets out a course for persons in positions of trust and influence to become "unconsciously competent in the art of leadership."  How does a leader go about this transformation? Sakakeeny's methodology is the result of a unique body of experience blending over thirty years in business as a C-level executive, entrepreneur, inventor, engineer, marketer, and consultant with forty years of leading symphonic orchestras. Subtle Power contains a toolbox of logically organized foundational concepts. Building on these, he expertly layers ever more detailed ideas using familiar stories and helpful analogies to provide a succinct narrative. All the while, the chapters of Subtle Power are structured so that, as concepts are introduced and explored, previous points are integrated as a means to introduce subsequent ideas. Chapters conclude with a summary and exercise, Think On This, wherein the reader can begin to practically apply concept information to new competencies.  By exploring foundational frameworks such as The Fields of Existence and The Five Modes of Intention, along with several other key constructs, leaders and aspiring leaders receive guidance and wisdom on the way to becoming intentional, conscious, and ultimately happier and more successful leaders.
