Описание: When Jacob and Sara visited Pelican Island as college students, they knew that someday they were destined to live there-even though the island was a magnet for every passing hurricane. Clinging tightly to their dream, they sell their Illinois farm and move to the island, arriving full of hope for a new life. Facing the very real danger from devastating storms, they partner with Alex Samson of the local Samson Lumber Company to design a structure that can withstand any hurricane: a beach cottage on stilts that can be raised and lowered for safety. As they focus on their work of genius, another storm is building around them-the mistrust and anger of neighbors and the powerful island planning committee. As nature's chaos brews and islanders' emotions surge, Sara and Jacob find themselves in the eye of a hurricane in this compelling, relevant novel about what humanity can and cannot control.

Описание:
What if the ways you think about yourself, the world and everyone in it were the human equivalent of your own internal 'operating system'?
What if you could upgrade that operating system, evolving it as radically now as you did as a child? You'd suddenly find it easier to:
Achieve better outcomes with a lot less effort
Find opportunities in fiendishly complex problems
Juggle stakeholders' diverse, evolving needs
Take relationships to a whole new level
Navigate dilemmas and polarising issues
Adapt, evolve and progress in whatever ways you find most meaningful
Upgrade is a practical manual for revolutionising the way you look at yourself, your work and the people around you. Not only that, it'll help you trigger the same kind of step-change in others.
Описание: Getting students away from spouting opinions about highly-charged partisan issues, Debating Reform, Fourth Edition looks at key questions about reforming political institutions, with contributed pieces written by top scholars specifically for the volume. Each pro or con essay considers a concrete proposal for reforming the political system. By focusing on institutions, rather than liberal or conservative public policies, students tend to leave behind ideology and grapple with claims and evidence to draw their own conclusions and build their own arguments. Students will explore how institutions work in their American government text, but this reader helps them to understand how they can be made to work better.
Описание: The study of the presidency--the power of the office, the evolution of the executive as an institution, the men who have served--has generated a great body of research and scholarship. What better way to get students to grapple with the ideas of the literature than through conflicting perspectives on some of the most pivotal issues facing the modern presidency? Richard Ellis and Michael Nelson have once again assembled a cadre of top scholars to offer a series of pro/con essays that will inspire spirited debate beyond the pages of the book. Each essay--written in the form of a debate resolution-- offers a compelling yet concise view on the American executive.
