"...skillful and clever and funny. I highly recommend this book." -- Elin Hilderbrand, New York Times Bestselling Author
"An enchanting novel of a woman finding her way out of a midlife (and mid-death) crisis." -- Kirkus
If Tipsy Collins learned one thing from her divorce, it's that everyone in Charleston is a little crazy--even if they're already dead.
Tipsy, a gifted artist, cannot ignore her nutty friends or her vindictive ex-husband, but as a lifelong reluctant clairvoyant, she's always avoided dead people. When Tipsy and her three children move into the house on Bennett Street, she realizes some ghosts won't be ignored.
Till death do us part didn't pan out for Jane and Henry Mott, who've haunted the house for nearly a century. Tipsy's marriage was downright felicitous when compared to Jane and Henry's ill-fated union. Jane believes Henry killed her and then himself, and Henry vehemently denies both accusations. Unfortunately, neither phantom remembers that afternoon in 1923. Tipsy doesn't know whether to side with Jane, who seems to be hiding something under her southern belle charm, or Henry, a mercurial creative genius. Jane and Henry draw Tipsy into their conundrum, and she uncovers secrets long concealed under layers of good manners, broken promises and soupy Lowcountry air. Living with ghosts, however, takes a toll on her health, and possibly even her sanity. As she struggles to forge a new path for herself and her children, Tipsy has a chance to set Jane and Henry free, and release the ghosts of her own past.

Описание: The philosopher and biblical commentator Joseph Ibn Kaspi (1280-1345) was a provocative Jewish thinker of the medieval era whose works have generally been overlooked by modern scholars. Power and Progress by Alexander Green is the first book in English to focus on a central aspect of his work: Ibn Kaspi's philosophy of history. Green argues that Ibn Kaspi understood history as guided by two distinct but interdependent forces: power and progress, both of which he saw manifest in the biblical narrative. Ibn Kaspi discerned that the use of power to shape history is predominantly seen in the political competition between kingdoms. Yet he also believed that there is historical progress in the continuous development and dissemination of knowledge over time. This he derived from the biblical vision of the divine chariot and its varied descriptions across different biblical texts, each revealing more details of a complex, multifaceted picture. Although these two concepts of what drives history are separate, they are also reliant upon one another. National survival is dependent on the progress of knowledge of the order of nature, and the progress of knowledge is reliant on national success. In this way, Green reveals Ibn Kaspi to be more than a mere commentator on texts, but a highly innovative thinker whose insights into the subtleties of the Bible produced a view of history that is both groundbreaking and original.
Описание: If you care about business & you care about the state of our planet, then you have had more than a passing interest in sustainability. You may find you self frustrated, confused or even discouraged about the current state of things, yet at the same time unclear about what else to do. This book offers some fresh thinking about sustainability. The introduction to the three stages of sustainability will help clarify the journey while the Sustainable Values Set(R) provides a path. Exploring economics, leadership, ethics & other aspects of our world from this perspective, grounds concepts and ideas in practical applications. By thinking in wholes & understanding the implications & long-term consequences of our decisions, new opportunities open up. Business has an enormous amount of leverage to make changes & shift consciousness. This is the role business has played for the past 200 years as business explored planned obsolescence - to increase sales, immediate gratification - to increase sales, time management - to get more out of expendable workers, and so on. Business has had a major impact on our world & how we understand our world. Nature has been here to allow us to fulfill our dreams, & we have used her that way Now we are beginning to see the consequences of acting as if only we mattered. Now we have an opportunity to turn around 180 degrees & see what kind of world we can create when we become both partners & co-creators with Mother Nature. Given her preference for bounty & abundance, this may prove to be an eye-opening experience as we engage in a collaborative relationship instead of an adversarial one. As humans we are beginning to understand that collaboration works within the human family. We are still shaky on that belief & rather unskilled in making collaboration a reality, but we now have tools, methods & processes to make real collaboration happen. As we make collaboration the norm, then the possibility that we will commit to spread that kind of relationship into our interactions with the rest of the living beings on the planet. While the shift from human centric to Earth centric decision-making is huge, it is also closer to hand than you might think. The urgency, the mandatory integrity, & the need for coherence between our ideals & our actions all require a discipline & fierce love that few other commitments have mandated. It is the application of sustainable intelligence to everyday decisions that make this such an achievable task. We all want a healthy planet, but we fear that will mean a dramatic change in life style. That we will have to reduce our standard of living & be without some of the conveniences we have learned to love. It is the attitude & belief that we will lose something that stops us before we even start. The truth is that while things may look different & some things may change, life will actually get better A person recovering from a heart attack may complain about not being able to eat those juicy burgers, but once that hurdle has been overcome the healthy life style that follows is a joy. This is a good simile for the changes we need to make. Much of our current way of living is not joyous, not healthy, & puts off into the future the life we want as a means of justifying the pain we live with everyday. Changing this is NOT a sacrifice It is a challenge, but a good one This book is the first in a series that explores how to make this bold change in a manner that is congruent with our values & our real, heartfelt desires. The Sustainable Values Set(R) offers a path through the fog of desire into the sunshine. The values are not new, but seeing them as part of a system allows for new insights into how we both help & hinder the achievement of our goals. The three stages of sustainability make clear the benefits at each stage. This is not a linear path, but one that can be started from any stage - it is congruence & persistence that will get us there. This book points the way
