You'll be awe-inspired by the heroic efforts of the crew of the Endurance, a ship that battled its way for six weeks through thousands of miles of pack ice while ironically only a day's sail from its destination.

Since its publication in 1993, this groundbreaking book has persuaded countless parents, teachers, and managers that attempts to manipulate people with incentives may seem to work in the short run, but they ultimately fail and even do lasting harm. Drawing from hundreds of studies, Kohn demonstrates that we actually do inferior work when we are enticed with money, grades, or other incentives—and are apt to lose interest in whatever we were bribed to do. Rewards and punishments are two sides of the same coin—and the coin doesn't buy much.

Este es un libro que llevo mucho tiempo queriendo escribir. Porque me di cuenta de que nosotros, que somos Asatru, no teníamos oraciones que pudiéramos decir, y todos los Asatru lo sabían. Al menos no oficiales, y rezo a los Asir y Vanir con bastante frecuencia. Así como hacer ofrendas a ellos, o Blot como se le llama en Escandinavia, y en este libro. También quería aclarar, para vosotros, qué es la Confirmación. La Confirmación es una ceremonia en la que jóvenes de alrededor de 14 años confirman su religión. Estoy seguro de que nuestros antepasados tenían una forma de ...

C'est un livre que je souhaite écrire depuis longtemps. Parce que j'ai compris que nous, qui sommes Asatru, n'avions pas de prières à dire, et que chaque Asatru le savait. Pas officielles du moins, et je prie assez souvent les Asir et les Vanir. Ainsi que leur offrir des offrandes, ou Blot comme on l'appelle en Scandinavie, et dans ce livre. Je voulais aussi clarifier ce qu'est la Confirmation. La confirmation est une cérémonie où des jeunes d'environ 14 ans confirment leur religion. Je suis certain que nos ancêtres avaient une forme de confirmation, et je suis encore plus certain ...

We who are Asatru here in Norway didn't have a prayer book in Norwegian, so i created one. I translated the book to English since i know the market for such books are bigger in English speaking countries. Creating this Asatru prayer book has been a joyous journey, one which i hope many others will have when reading the Asatru prayers contained within this book. Just remember that with prayer comes an offering, either as a thanks or for granting you what you need. I am both confirmed and baptized in the Asatru, and now so can you. Confirmation is a ritual here in Scandinavia where kids ...

This is a smaller version of the original, with smaller text and smaller book., We here in Norway didn't have an Asatru prayer book, so then i made one. In this book you will find many useful prayers for both children, adults and the elderly. And talking about Asatru Baptism and Confirmation, they do not have a monopoly on those rituals. We who are Asatru can get confirmed in Asatru and baptised in Asatru, just like anyone else confirming their religion. It doesn't matter if your 9 or 90 when you want to get baptised and confirmed in Asatru. I hope you enjoy reading these Asatru prayers as ...

In this Asatru prayer book you will not only find new prayers, but also a few new ceremonies for when you want to convert to Asatru, get married in Asatru or for Burials. There are also new prayers to the parents of our beloved Asir, Vanir and Jotnar. For without the parents of Asir such as Odin we would never even be here. My visions and experiences are meant to serve as evidence that Midgard is a strange place, where strange things occur. We are many who have the ability to know and see things, and we are all born for a purpose. To help other people with our abilities. Do not shy from ...

Questo è un libro che desidero scrivere da tempo. Perché ho capito che noi che siamo Asatru non avevamo preghiere da dire, e ogni Asatru lo sapeva. Almeno non ufficiali, e prego spesso gli Asir e i Vanir. Così come offrire loro offerte, o Blot come viene chiamato in Scandinavia, e in questo libro. Volevo anche chiarire, cosa sia la Conferma. La Cresima è una cerimonia in cui i giovani di circa 14 anni confermano la loro religione. Sono certo che i nostri antenati abbiano avuto una forma di conferma, e sono ancora più certo che fosse importante per loro quanto lo è per tutti gli altri,...

Twelve-year-old Alf Smith trembled with excitement when the four cowboys rode past him as he walked home from school. This was Illinois farming country and he had never seen a real cowboy. The big Mexican saddles, the tall boots with the jingling spurs, and the pistols strapped on their sides, they were just like the Texas cowboys he had read about in books and newspapers. Alf hurried home to tell his parents, but his excitement soon turned to horror when he arrived to find the farmhouse engulfed in flames.

FOOTBALL IN THE RUINS is a standalone novel. This is a SOCCER book about the World Cup of 1966 set in the altered timeline of 10/27/62 in which the swinging sixties never happened because the Russians and the Americans blew up the world when the Cuban Missiles Crisis went wrong on Saturday 27th October 1962. When the representatives of sixty-nine national governing bodies of Association Football gathered in Rome a few days ahead of the start of the Football Tournament of the 1960 Summer Olympic Games – the normal governance and regulatory minutiae apart – there was only one real matter ...

How many presentations on innovation have there been recently? Thousands? Millions? We are experiencing 'innovation fatigue': we feel cheated by the endless rounds of consultants who come into our organizations, deliver conceptual models that don't stick with the realities of business and then leave again. Companies and teams are left feeling more deflated than before, and with not one idea that's impacted the bottom line. Innovation for the Fatigued argues it is worth fighting for the concept and study of innovation in organizations.
