Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Written by a school counselor who partially messed up his life and who has seen so many people do the same through making bad dating choices, True Love Lasts communicates crucial information that readers need to know in order to avoid a broken heart and to make it more likely that they will one day have a lifelong loving marriage. In a down-to-earth encouraging manner that teens and young adults can relate to, Wegert gives suggestions about how to prepare for dating by putting in the effort to become a strong person, how to attract a strong person, how to have a healthy dating relationship, how to decide whether or not to continue in a dating relationship, the big difference between having the feeling of being 'in love' and true love, how to make a good marriage decision someday, and much more. This book is similar to his other books, Straight Talk About Teen Dating and Straight Talk About Dating, except that it is written with a character emphasis.Here's another description of True Love Lasts: Unfortunately, in today's world it's very difficult to find a strong person to date who has good character, a positive attitude, is responsible, is a hard worker, and has self-control. Millions of teens and young adults are looking for true love in all the wrong places and they make their dating choices mainly based upon on looks and feelings. The massive amount of broken hearts, the number of abusive dating relationships, the large amount of unhappiness in marriage and the high divorce rate are evidence that many teens and young adults don't have enough good information about dating before they start dating and during dating. Due to this lack of good information, they often make bad dating choices - and sometimes these choices affect them negatively for the rest of their lives. Mr. Wegert wrote True Love Lasts to provide readers with information and suggestions that they need in order to maximize the possibility that they will have a healthy dating relationship based upon mutual respect. He tried to pack as much useful information as possible into the book because as a school counselor he couldn't just sit back anymore and watch people damage up their lives without trying to do something about it. The author hopes that the book will help readers to have a healthy dating relationship now and possibly a lifelong loving marriage in the future.Mr. Wegert's latest book for students, young adults, and parents, HOW TO BECOME A STRONG PERSON AND BUILD A GOOD LIFE, includes a more detailed explanation of the five attributes (tools) of a strong person and how a person can use the tools to build a good life. The book is brought to life by the author sharing over seventy true short stories about when he and others have made bad choices (with the hope that the book will help readers to avoid the same ones).…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - 'Bawdy and boisterous, it's an important book by a writer perfectly tuned into the experiences of the new Irish.' (The Irish Times)\*\*\*'The New Dubliners is an exciting new experiment and a fascinating read.' (Dublin Book Festival)\*\*\*'The style is fresh and the lives are interesting, often fascinating.' (Dublin Review of Books)\*\*\*The New Dubliners is about life in the Irish capital as experienced by expats - life that could be similar to the one you have lived yourself, or completely different, but nonetheless one that is always authentic and, hopefully, never boring.It's not about rain or Guinness. Nor is it about whether coffee in Ireland is worse than coffee in Italy or Brazil, or whether Irish tomatoes are not as big and juicy red as Polish or Spanish ones. What it is about is love, sex, addiction, successes and failures. It's about walking along the beach on a sunny day, and about drinking wine on a moonlit roof terrace. It is about life in all its glory and misery, however pretentious this might now make it sound.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Corvus Rising is a modern American fantasy tale told in part from the point of view of crows, about an extraordinary yet nearly extinct group of humans who speak their language. Together, humans, crows, ravens, and a multitude of other birds, unite and take a stand against the destruction of an enchanted island. The story opens as Jade Matthews, a gifted painter with a vivid imagination, awakens from a nightmare in which a band of crows has broken into her bedroom through a large window. She fears that the crows are looking for her most treasured possession: a strange medallion given to her by the mother she never knew. The medallion seems ancient, carved from stone or a very hard wood, depicting a human hand and a bird wing clasped in friendship. Jade's husband Russ is a biology professor at the local university, as is the Jesuit priest and noted ornithologist, Alfredo Manzi. The priest serendipitously discovers the enchanted Wilder Island, home to an unusual population of blue-eyed crows and ravens. He meets Charlie, patriarch of the great Hozey clan-one of the many old families of crows on the island, known to the crows as Cadeña-l'jadia-land of misty marshes and green forests. Charlie informs Manzi that he is not a freak, that there are others like him, others who speak Patua'-the language of the crows. Charlie tells Manzi about his old friend Charlotte, trapped in an insane asylum for years because she cannot speak human languages, though she is fluent in Patua'. But there is more to the island than blue-eyed crows. Manzi discovers a rustic chapel built by the man for whom the island was named; an old hermit, coincidentally a Jesuit brother of the 1800's named Maxmillian Wilder. The chapel completely charms Manzi, built from living trees and vines, with a roof that resembles an upside-down bird's nest. He finds the old hermit's bones in the chapel, and a strange medallion carved from a very hard wood or stone, with the image of an intertwined wing and a human hand. Coincidentally, with Manzi's discovery of Wilder Island, his superior, the Father Provincial of the North American Society of Jesus in Washington DC, learns that the Order owns the tiny uninhabited Wilder Island, located in the middle of one of America's biggest rivers. And that a wealthy developer in the city on either side of the river would like to purchase it for development. With the Father Superior's blessing, Manzi makes the island his home, just in time to stave off the advances of the developer who plans to build a gambling resort. Turned down by the Jesuits to purchase the property, he turns to a condemnation lawsuit under US eminent domain laws, recently expanded to allow for public use to include commercial development. The threat to the island is dire. With the financial backing of the Father Superior, a tree-hugging attorney named Kate designs a land trust-the Friends of Wilder Island, to defend it and deflect the developer's condemnation suit. Manzi invites his colleague Russ Matthews and his artist wife Jade, and his helper Sam Howard to join the land trust and name it Friends of Wilder Island. Although he risks exposing his strange ability to speak with crows to other humans-a secret he has kept hidden his entire life- the Friends of Wilder Island Land Trust puts Manzi right in front of the entire population of the city, as he tries to unite them against the destruction of a unique wilderness. While the humans argue over the merits of wilderness preservation and economic development, Charlie the blue-eyed crow and the Great Corvid Council take matters into their own wings. Fanning out in all directions, the crows and ravens gather a multitude of birds of all feathers to take a stand and defend Cadeña-l'jadia, ancestral homeland to the great Hozey clan, and the beloved Bruthamax, the old Jesuit hermit who came to the island centuries ago.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Este libro contiene el relato largo El Español y las briquetas y doce cuentos fantásticos de temáticas diversas pero especialmente hay una mirada al mundo ferroviario que deseo compartir con ustedes, pues no en vano soy la cuarta generación de ferroviarios y llevo más de treinta años trabajando en el ferrocarril. Son cuentos de hoy día pero también miradas al pasado y al futuro, al mundo que vamos a dejarles a los descendientes.También hay homenajes a los escritores que más me han impresionado con su estilo personal como R. A. Lafferty o los hermanos Strugatsky, y también alguna locura con visitantes misteriosos.Estoy seguro que estas historias no le dejaran indiferente. Al menos es lo que a mí me ocurrió; un día, releyendo el cuento casi para niños El lirio rojo y el Señor de los alfanjes descubrí que se me daba muy bien escribir sobre temas medievales, me puse a la tarea y ya tengo en el mercado tres libros más con cuentos de este tipo y la novela La crux de los ángeles. Y confío que pronto tenga otra novela o libro para publicar.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - What happens when medicine stops being simply about the doctor and the patient Jack Roberts believes medicine is more than a profession. It is a calling.That belief began in childhood, when a pioneering heart surgeon saved the life of Jack's baby brother and forever changed the course of his own. Decades later, Jack has become a respected pediatric heart surgeon himself, devoting his life to children whose survival may depend upon the decisions he makes.But the medicine Jack entered is changing.As the twenty-first century begins, hospitals increasingly operate as businesses. Government regulations, insurance companies, reimbursement policies, administrators, and electronic systems begin inserting themselves into decisions once made between physicians and their patients. Jack finds himself fighting not only disease, but a healthcare system increasingly at odds with everything he believes medicine should be.Then his work takes him beyond the American healthcare system and into Nicaragua, where children may have no access to lifesaving treatment at all. What Jack encounters there forces him to confront an even larger question: When you possess the ability to save another human life, how far does your obligation to that person extend Around him unfolds the life of a family-Jack's enduring marriage to Elaina, his relationship with the son who may someday follow him into medicine, and the patients, colleagues, friends, and strangers whose lives become unexpectedly intertwined with his own.The Calling is the first novel in the six-book A Surgeon's Heart series, a multigenerational medical family saga spanning decades of extraordinary change in American medicine.Written by a surgeon with more than forty years of experience caring for patients, it takes readers beyond the operating room and into a world most patients never see-where compassion, economics, technology, politics, faith, family, and the business of healthcare increasingly collide.Before there can be a conflict, a crisis, a choice, a challenge, or a commitment, there must first be a calling.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Un buen día del verano pasado me pasó por la cabeza escribir una novela de ciencia ficción, un homenaje a los maestros Heinlein, Philip K, Dick, Lafertty, Alfred Bester, y tantos otros con los que me he deleitado desde niño con la lectura de sus grandes obras.Primero había de diseñar la nave, algo plausible, y después cuidar al mínimo detalle cada una de las cosas que van apareciendo con el transcurso de la acción. Parece algo nimio y fue un trabajo duro pero para algo estudié ingeniería; todo tenía que cuadrar al milímetro. Estamos hablando de tecnología espacial, así que hasta los wáteres han de ser lo más de lo más. De los que no necesitas utilizar papel higiénico al concluir.¿Cuantos cuartos de baño ¿Donde ubicarlos Y no sigo porque me pongo escatológico.Y ahora viene lo bueno: hacer funcionar el invento. ¿Cuantos personajes ¿Quienes son ¿De dónde vienen Docenas de horas empleadas en imaginarlos antes de rellenar el primer folio solo para conseguir que arranque la historia. Recordar: es una novela de ciencia ficción, algunas cosas que aparecen aún no se han conseguido materializar. Ordenadores, motores, está a la vuelta de la esquina el poder verlos con nuestros propios ojos.Como no os quiero aburrir en la presentación con aspectos técnicos vayamos con la fricción, perdón, con la acción.Doce jóvenes, titulados universitarios, con buena experiencia laboral son elegidos entre miles de muchachos europeos para llevar a cabo el experimento mas espectacular jamás realizado: ¡viajar a las estrellas!Ninguno es astronauta ni soñó jamás serlo pero serán los primeros en viajar por la galaxia superando todas nuestras timoratas previsiones y dejando en el triturador de basuras todos los prejuicios y creencias adquiridas. Están solos, solos viajando por el universo; solo se tienen el uno al otro.Bueno, solos, solos, lo que se dice solos, no van a estar pero me guardo esta pequeña sorpresa para cuando hayáis leído el Primer Mamotreto.La obra consiste de tres Mamotretos y dos adendas.Os deleitará y asombrará la lectura de esta novela y, una cosa, la luz no puede ir más rápido de un punto a otro pero nosotros sí podemos. Díez, Daniel Paniagua (illustrateur).…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - This is the newest edition of Kryahgenetics, Updated Aug 2026 Kryahgenetics, the Simple Secrets of Human Alchemy was originally written back in 1999 as a limited edition author's manuscript with only 1000 in print. They have been sold out for decades.Hal, my Cosmic Informant and humor mentor, inspired me to update this book and get it back out to the public, and has been a great inspiration to those who are ready for this Cosmic Information.What exactly is Kryahgenetics The word KRYAHGENETICS is what I call 'simpplex.' It can be very simply explained, yet on the other hand, it has complexities that are beyond our comprehension. There are two parts or elements to this science that are very powerful in and of themselves, and when coupled together, make an dynamic duo.The 1st element, kryah, is the encompassment and direction of magnetic fields through: TONE/SOUND - LIGHT/COLOR - GEOMETRY/MATH - LOVE/COMPASSIONThe 2nd element, genetics meaning: The information and life-force encoded and imprinted in the blood.There are also five gifts or keys that we all have been given. Once understood and used deliberately and properly, these keys can lace and weave these two elements together to create alchemical change in the holographic fields. They can bring about total balance and trigger quantum evolution. They can also connect you to what might be termed 'Super Human Powers!' The possibilities are literally limitless. When this is accomplished in wholeness, aliveness, and synergism, it will create the highest octaves in this reality! If we trust ourselves enough to learn, or rather remember how to effortlessly and skillfully activate both of these elements, then we just earned our tickets into inter-dimensional consciousness.…
