Описание: Johnstone Country. The Good Die Young. The Bad Die Younger.

When Smoke Jensen is summoned to a small Texas town under siege by a scourge of kill-crazy bandits, volunteers line up to take out the Mountain Man. Being Smoke Jensen, he wouldn't have it any other way.

A gunshot wound has robbed Audubon, Texas, of its top lawman at the worst possible time. Clete Lanagan and his band of outlaws have hatched a scheme to plunder the town bank of a small fortune in railroad money. When the acting sheriff, Dalton Conyers--half-brother of Smoke's niece Rebecca--is unable to raise a posse to hunt down Lanagan's gang, he calls on Smoke for help.

But with so much cash at stake, Lanagan won't go down without a fight. With a bounty on his head, Smoke finds himself marked for death by a legendary gunslinger, a wrathful ranch hand bent on revenge for his brother's death, and an army of trigger-happy recruits with nothing to lose but their lives.

Wie Sie sicherstellen, dass Sie auch wirklich damit anfangen es zu nutzen! Wie Sie bei all dem sich selbst treu bleiben koennen.Heutige Projektmanager muessen hohe Erwartungen erfuellen. Herausfordernde Ziele, ein starker Fokus auf Kostenmanagement und Lieferzeiten, die Erfuellung der Erwartungen vieler Stakeholder und viele Abhaengigkeiten zwischen Unterprojekten machen das Projektmanagement zu einer zunehmend komplexen Aufgabe - besonders in einer Umgebung, in der Aenderungen und Unsicherheiten zur Norm geworden sind.

Die richtigen Projektmanagement-Fertigkeiten zu besitzen, ist daher essenziell auf praktisch jeder Ebener einer Organisation.Diese Herausforderungen resultieren in einem wachsenden Bedarf an umfassenden Methoden und der Zunahme der Popularitaet von Agile. Andererseits fuehrt die wachsende Komplexitaet gerade zu einem Beduerfnis an Einfachheit. Genau hierum geht es in diesem Buch: Sich auf die Grundlagen besinnen, in der Lage zu sein nuetzliche Elemente von verschiedenen Methoden zu kombinieren und sich auf die wichtigsten Aspekte zu fokussieren: Die Person hinter dem Projektmanager!Dieses Buch enthaelt eine Vielfalt an praktischen Beschreibungen mit nuetzlichen Beispielen und Anekdoten. Der Leser wird stets angeregt die Essenz zu verinnerlichen und diese seines eigenen Stils und seiner Personalitaet entsprechend in der Praxis umzusetzen. Dies ist der einzige Weg kontinuierlich dabei zu bleiben, erfolgreich zu sein und andere an sich glauben zu lassen!Welche Fragen dieses Buch Ihnen beantworten wird:¢ Was sind die grundlegenden Techniken eines Projektmanagers, die sowohl in agilen als auch traditionellen Umgebungen angewendet werden koennen?¢ Wie koennen Sie die vielen verfuegbaren Projektmanagement-Methoden in Ihren eigenen Arbeitsprozess einbeziehen?¢ Wie koennen Sie kluge Fuehrung und bestimmte Verhaltensformen dazu nutzen, um Ihre Effektivitaet und Effizienz durch stetes Ergreifen der Initiative erheblich zu erhoehen (der Faktor 10)?¢ Wie koennen Sie traditionelle (Wasserfall-orientierte) Produktentwicklung mit agiler (Software) Entwicklung kombinieren?¢ Wie koennen Sie Unsicherheiten und Aenderungen fuer sich arbeiten lassen, anstatt gegen Sie?¢ Wie koennen Sie ein komplexes Projekt auf eine Art und Weise strukturieren, so dass es zu einer aufschlussreichen und deligierbaren Serie von Zwischenergebnissen wird?¢ Wie koennen Sie durch Nutzung der kritischen Parameter den wahren Projektstatus von Projektbeginn an messen?¢ Wie koennen Sie den richtigen Rahmen schaffen, in dem Teams von Wissensarbeitern selbst-organisiert arbeiten koennen?¢ Wie koennen Sie mit Hilfe des Heartbeats in jeder Situation Fortschritt, Lernbereitschafft, Kommunikation und Zielorientierung sicherstellen?¢ Wie koennen Sie die Kooperation mit Ihren Stakeholdern in eine echte Zusammenarbeit ueberfuehren - unabhaengig von den aeusseren Umstaenden?¢ Vor allem, wie koennen Sie sich bei all dem selbst treu bleiben?

Описание: The portrait has historically been understood as an artistic representation of a human subject. Its purpose was to provide a visual or psychological likenesses or an expression of personal, familial or social identity; it was typically associated with the privileged individual subject of Western modernity. Recent scholarship in the humanities and social sciences however has responded to the complex nature of twenty-first century subjectivity and proffered fresh conceptual models and theories to analyse it. The contributors to Anti-Portraiture examine subjectivity via a range of media including sculpture, photography and installation, and make a convincing case for an expanded definition of portraiture. By offering a timely reappraisal of the terms through which this genre is approached, the chapter authors volunteer new paradigms in which to consider selfhood, embodiment and representation. In doing so they further this exciting academic debate and challenge the curatorial practices and acquisition policies of museums and galleries.

Описание: "Dark and devious... Beautifully written and plotted with a watchmaker's precision." -- Stephen King

"A dark, twisty, and richly atmospheric exploration of the power of imagination" --Ruth Ware, author of One by One and The Woman in Cabin 10

With the startling twists of Gone Girl and the haunting emotional power of Room, Mirrorland is a thrilling work of psychological suspense about twin sisters, the man they both love, and the dark childhood they can't leave behind.

Cat lives in Los Angeles, far away from 36 Westeryk Road, the imposing gothic house in Edinburgh where she and her estranged twin sister, El, grew up. As girls, they invented Mirrorland, a dark, imaginary place under the pantry stairs full of pirates, witches, and clowns. These days Cat rarely thinks about their childhood home, or the fact that El now lives there with her husband Ross.

But when El mysteriously disappears after going out on her sailboat, Cat is forced to return to 36 Westeryk Road, which has scarcely changed in twenty years. The grand old house is still full of shadowy corners, and at every turn Cat finds herself stumbling on long-held secrets and terrifying ghosts from the past. Because someone--El?--has left Cat clues in almost every room: a treasure hunt that leads right back to Mirrorland, where she knows the truth lies crouched and waiting...

A twisty, dark, and brilliantly crafted thriller about love and betrayal, redemption and revenge, Mirrorland is a propulsive, page-turning debut about the power of imagination and the price of freedom.

Описание: REVENGE ENDS THE DAY WELL

As sleepy as Buffalo Peak's been, legendary marshal, Elwood Firestick McQueen, and his deputies Beartooth Skinner and Moosejaw Hendricks never expected a couple of drifters to wake it up--by kidnapping two lovely ladies in town.

Hardly the sharpest quills on a cactus, these dim drifters call it courtin'. Firestick doesn't see it that way. Now the woman snatchers are heading for West Texas with their reluctant brides-to-be--and unwittingly plunging trackers Firestick and Moosejaw headlong into a rescue. With only Beartooth keeping the peace back home, Buffalo Peak's wide open for an outlaw ambush.

Sure as dirt, a gang of owlhoots clean out the bank, grab a hostage, and flee, spurring Beartooth on a deadly chase. In one lousy day a lot of people have gotten on Firestick's bad side. And with rifle cocked, and vengeance burning, Elwood Firestick McQueen is going to prove just how unforgiving his bad side can be.

Описание:

The mask has been removed and a virus has decimated the Catholic Church. Disclosures about the systemic child abuse and the criminal cover-ups have brought the institution to its knees. Will it ever recover?

This book of poems compiled in 2020, the time of the virus, documents one person's journey through the various stages of Catholicism, from true believer to agnostic. Many of the poems are light-hearted glimpses at the absurdity of the dogma we were taught as children, others give voice to hurt and suffering inflicted upon many helpless children at the hands of the people they trusted and admired.

Included are poems that touch on the sport and politics of our times. Religion, politics and professional sport are all based on the same premise - domination of the weak by the strong, supremacy of the institution over the individual, with a huge dose of self-interest thrown in.

My family sacrificed two men to the Catholic Church, one who went willingly and who did good work and was loved by the people he served. I am very proud of him.

The other had his future taken from him at the age of twelve years, by an evil man of the church who was protected by the institution. My brother lived on for forty angst-filled years and never resolved his pain.

Henry is forced on a painful journey back to an old case he worked on with Cole and Paul. Is someone playing a deadly game with Henry, and is he about to pay for his past mistakes?
