Описание:
Grandfather's Garden has the endearing quality of a classic of a new kind. As with the Harry Potter books, its rollicking stream of quirky tales is for "kids, teens, moms, dads, grandmoms, granddads, and the close, warm delight of reading aloud to kids at bedtime."
A lonely child who lives beneath the clatter of the stairs in a busy household dreams of a magic island where he can live in the wonder of Grandfather's garden. Eggplants big as elephants. Tap dancing stalks of celery. The tootling flutes of a merry string of asparagus. But best of all are the stories that Grandfather weaves into funny fables for children from all around the world.
We meet the Clam that made a Pearl. The Baby Carrot who wanted to be a speed boat racer. Thudglinka and the Nasty Thistles. Phyllis the Talking Pillbox. Babbage the Cabbage. Flippo the Dippo who circles the earth skywriting Joy to the World. And most of all, the powerful Mifwump, who sees all, knows all, and can be everywhere all at once
A grandfather with four grandchildren, David Loye, internationally known evolutionary systems scientist, author of the National Award winning The Healing of a Nation, is this book's 94-year-old author.
Grandfather of "a very talented young lady and irresistible twins," A. Christopher Simon, whose whimsical brush has delighted readers of classics and many other books for leading publishers, is the book's 92-year-old illustrator.
"Battered by the daily, hourly, every minute punch of bad news, kids are being forced to deal with an increasingly scary world," Dr Loye observes. "Locking kids, teens, and adults into rigid separate levels for readership cuts apart what I've set out to gain with the offbeat humor of whimsical fables to bind aroused kids and teens to adults in common cause."
The need for a powerful new moral action-oriented unity of mind is highlighted, Loye says, by how the all-seeing, all-knowing Mifwump bursts out of the central story in Grandfather's Garden to call for deep driving change.
"The way you big folk in the real world are loading us up with awful problems," the Mifwump tells us,"we just can't take it any more. It's time for the best of us in storyland to break out into your real world to save you with a playful, peaceful, but powerful new Revolution of Joy versus Gloom."
"Link up and Join up," these feisty Grandfathers urge kids, teens, and fired up moms, dads, and grandparents. "Use this perfect new gift book for the Holidays to tap into the power of the internet and go viral with Mifwump for search word and ongoing insider reports."
Grandfather's Garden has the endearing and enduring quality of a classic of a new kind. As with the Harry Potter books, its rollicking stream of quirky tales is for "both little and big folk"--that is, for "kids, teens, grownups, and for the close, warm delight of reading aloud by moms and dads to kids at bedtime."
Eggplants big as elephants. Tap dancing stalks of celery. A pomegranate that made of itself a big bass drum and walked around with a cheery boom boom boom followed by a string of tootling trumpet vines. And best of all, Grandfather's stories. The Clam that made a pearl. The Baby Carrot who wanted to be a speed boat racer. The prehistoric dialogue of Dodo, Auk, and Duckbilled Platypus. And Georgio's Magic Bean, Babbage the Cabbage, Thudglinka, the Tumbling Tumbleweeds, Flippo the Dippo sky writing JOY to the world, and Phyllis the Talking Pillbox--all come to life and dance across the page. But the big news is the all-seeing, all-knowing, all-caring Mifwump.
Now slipping in and out of the internet (for search words try Mifwump, Grandfather's Garden, or The Mifwump's Tale), this mysterious new folk hero bursts out of storyland into our real world with a special message and mission for our time.
Out of over 90 years of loving kids, teens, grownups, and reading aloud by moms and dads, three grandfathers and an apprentice have worked together to give you this book of stories that assert the power of humor to lift our spirits and keep us going even during our personal or worldly worst of times.
Please spread the word, be of good cheer, peace to all, and best wishes from this book's 93-year-old author, and 92-year-old illustrator, and the abiding wonder of Grandfather and Grandfather's Garden.

Описание:
In their long-awaited book, based on years of practical experience and research, Brian Allen and Rachelle Loyear show you step-by-step how Enterprise Security Risk Management (ESRM) applies fundamental risk principles to manage all security risks. Whether the risks are informational, cyber, physical security, asset management, or business continuity, all are included in the holistic, all-encompassing ESRM approach which will move you from task-based to risk-based security.
How is ESRM familiar? As a security professional, you may already practice some of the components of ESRM. Many of the concepts - such as risk identification, risk transfer and acceptance, crisis management, and incident response - will be well known to you.
How is ESRM new? While many of the principles are familiar, the authors have identified few organizations that apply them in the comprehensive, holistic way that ESRM represents - and even fewer that communicate these principles effectively to key decision-makers.
How is ESRM practical? ESRM offers you a straightforward, realistic, actionable approach to deal effectively with all the distinct types of security risks facing you as a security practitioner. ESRM is performed in a life cycle of risk management including:
Asset assessment and prioritization.
Risk assessment and prioritization.
Risk treatment (mitigation).
Continuous improvement.
Throughout Enterprise Security Risk Management: Concepts and Applications, the authors give you the tools and materials that will help you advance you in the security field, no matter if you are a student, a newcomer, or a seasoned professional. Included are realistic case studies, questions to help you assess your own security program, thought-provoking discussion questions, useful figures and tables, and references for your further reading.
By redefining how everyone thinks about the role of security in the enterprise, your security organization can focus on working in partnership with business leaders and other key stakeholders to identify and mitigate security risks. As you begin to use ESRM, following the instructions in this book, you will experience greater personal and professional satisfaction as a security professional - and you'll become a recognized and trusted partner in the business-critical effort of protecting your enterprise and all its assets.
