This much cited work by Johanna Rosa Engelking was originally a Master's thesis. It has now been edited and made available in book form with additional biographical information about this remarkable woman.Coming from a background of education and culture from her pioneer German-Texan ancestors, much involved in early Texas and later US politics, she gained respect and influence in those sympathetic to the ideal of freedom.In this well researched book we discover another interpretation of Texan history that was very much linked to the issue of slavery.

Nel 1982, verso la fine di una vita notevolissima, il medico psichiatra David Ropschitz decise di scrivere per mettere nero su bianco la sua storia personale di sopravvivenza durante la guerra.In questo romanzo autobiografico, egli narra il percorso da un'infanzia agiata nella Vienna degli anni '20 si suoi studi di medicina negli anni '30 in Italia, fino al suo internamento, nel luglio 1940, ad opera del governo fascista, nel più grande campo di internamento italiano, Ferramonti di Tarsia.In questo romanzo il dottor Ropschitz ricorda con tenerezza ed umorismo i tre difficili anni passati a Ferramonti: le amicizie, gli amori, le privazioni, la fame e la costante incertezza.Questo racconto accattivante porta il lettore in un viaggio dalla Calabria agli Abruzzi, dal filo spinato alla libertà, esplorando lungo la strada i temi della fede, dell'umanità, e della psicanalisi.

Every life is a theatrical play and has its own intrigu- ing story. But there are some lives that don't dovetail into plays or stories. Their lives exceeded the dimensions of one particular story or play, transforming into a chain of stories and plays.While I was constructing the story of their strange life, I found myself on stage in a play. Nobody told me to act in it. I'm a volunteer actor in this play.The theater is where this play, in which I'm an actor, opens its curtains while you're snoozing away in your warm, comfy bed. Sometimes after a one-act play is played, it closes its curtains before midnight, and some- times it stays open until the morning to watch the awak- ening of those in the bosom of sleep. I'm the one who plays in and watches this strange game until the stories are yours.When the stories are yours, my acting as well as my spectatorship is over. The curtain of your theater goes up the moment my acting as well as my spectatorship end. Then maybe I'll fall into a deep slumber. Then again, maybe I'll fall into the trap of a new story and forget about sleep.

Wilhelm (Willi) Haller (*25. Juli 1935; ¿ 2. August 2004) was not a theologian but an industrialist. Within the framework of his commitment to the Fellowship of Reconciliation, he also lectured on theological topics. He is mainly known for his contribution to the humanization of work but he was much concerned with philosophical and religious issues. He was very much influenced by the teachings of the bible scholar and Messianist Hugh J. Schonfield and convinced that a Servant Nation was the only way to solve the fundamental problems of mankind. He not only founded the leading flexible working hours and security equipment company, Interflex, but also was instrumental in innovative social projects. An unbelievable entrepreneur (most of his initiatives are still operating today), he was a gentle approachable person and father of four children.

This is the definitive biography of Richard Francis Burton by Hugh J. Schonfield."Do what thy manhood bids thee do, from none but self expect applause:He noblest lives and noblest dies whomakes and keeps his self-made laws.All other Life is living Death, A worldwhere none but Phantoms dwell,A breath, a wind, a sound, a voice, atinkling of the Camel-bell."

THE SEAGULLS'' WEDDINGThis short novel is set in the Istanbul of the 2000''s, a world where the lives of ordinary law-abiding people are turned upside down by terrorism, earthquakes, wars and macro-economic financial crises. It is a world where people have forgotten to act like human beings and only look after themselves.In the words of the hero himself, in the space of one month he has "lost his father, gone bankrupt, had his goods and chattels taken away from him, lost his home, been treated like a pervert, almost died of hunger and been abandoned by his family".Our hero has opened a gift shop in the historic part of Istanbul, after years of hard, soul-destroying labor in hotels where he has been at the beck and call of unscrupulous, penny-pinching employers. The father he loses has spent most of his miserable life working long hours in similarly appalling conditions and the situation of the distant relative who pays him an unexpected visit and sees his abandoned, bankrupt state is little different.Alienation and lovelessness are other underlying themes of this short novel. In it we see close family members who scarcely speak to each other, wives deserting their husbands and husbands deserting their wives and a funeral attended by a mere handful of people. There is ingratitude, too, in the actions of the hero as he pursues the beautiful Natalie, turning his back emotionally on her kindhearted but plain sister.Among the constantly recurring themes in "The Seagulls'' Wedding" are the effects of privatisation and government cuts on the lives of working men with families to support and the terrible guilt they feel when they cannot bring home enough money to pay the bills, a guilt which in some cases drives them to become vagrants. Children are forced to drop out of school and take up menial work just so that families can make ends meet.Although the main character is somewhat unlikeable, this is an engaging story of his Don Quixote-like approach to life.

Management science has become like theology, dominated by respected gurus and a body of accepted teachings. However, the pressures of a rapidly changing business environment are making managers and leaders more and more aware of the need for a broader scope of ideas to help in decision-making and the encouragement of innovation. Here I have attempted to combine conventional theories of management with concepts and writers outside of the conventional and accepted orthodoxy at the danger of being burned at the management stake for heresy. Yet, the original source of this work on strategic management was inspired by the need to provide students of the subject at bachelor and masters level with a basic script to guide their studies and was first published as a series of four books. This was of course accompanied by face-to-face lectures and many discussions and term papers. It is the author's intention to here provide a simple framework that managers and leaders as well as students and teachers of management can use as a basis for provoking thought and intention. It was because of many requests to provide the four sections in the form of one book as a reader for managers and others interested in strategy that inspired me to produce this reader's edition.

From the original fly leaf: "A distinguished American statesman and member of the bar, known chiefly heretofore as the Secretary of Commerce and Labor in the Cabinet of President Taft, as director in important enterprises, and as counsel for various corporations and individuals, here makes his bow as author (at the fine age of nearly 88) of a good book giving his recollections of life as it was lived, and war as it was waged, in the days of 1861 to 1865 during the conflict between the States. A penetrating pen-picture of things and places that few persons living today have experienced for themselves, and that still fewer are now capable of recollecting, Mr. Nagel's book also takes the happy reader to the Germany of student days, where as a young man the author entered the University of Berlin, which later was to confer on him the honorary degree as Doctor of Political Science. Known not less for his good works than for his great accomplishments, the present modest memoir will afford the reader both information and pleasure, and put in permanent form a record of days and ways that will not come again." This edition has been augmented with copious footnotes and illustrations to assist the modern reader to understand better the context of the time.
