"Where has the Emperor gone?
Who is behind the conspiracy in the Empire?
Are outside enemies taking advantage of the situation?
And most importantly! Can Alexshhhander pull out all the shhtops and make it through?!
You'll find the answers to these questions and many more in this book!
Maybe. Or maybe not . . ."
"'Honor the Code and you'll rest in your next life!' they said . . .
'It'll be fun!' they said . . .
Now why didn't they tell me I'd have to get married and be responsible for a whole Noble Family of my own, with a bunch of obligations and all the crap I have to deal with now!? Could I get reborn back into a Hunter again, please!?"
"The Velvet Underground and Nico has influenced the sound of more bands than any other album. And remarkably, it still sounds as fresh and challenging today as it did upon its release in 1967. In this book, Joe Harvard covers everything from Lou Reed's lyrical genius to John Cale's groundbreaking instrumentation, and from the creative input of Andy Warhol to the fine details of the recording process. With input from co-producer Norman Dolph and Velvets fan Jonathan Richman, Harvard documents the creation of a record which - in the eyes of many - has never been matched."
"A heart-shattering loss leads to a reality-shattering discovery . . .
Every bureaucracy has a rhythm, even the Department of Extraterrestrial and Alien Defense (D.E.A.D.). Dr. Greg Schorn has gotten used to that rhythm: go on assignment, take down a government-created alien hybrid, write up a report, rinse, and repeat.
Not that there's no danger. Rounding up the escapees comes with more than a little risk. But Greg trusts the people around him, especially Mitch Haldron. At the D.E.A.D. Mitch has pulled him out of the fire more times than he can count.
But everything is about to change: Mitch, solid, dependable, downright boring Mitch, has a secret.
A secret that is about to come into the light.
A secret that will blow apart Greg Schorn's world . . ."
"A new job. A new threat. A new chance to die.
Dr. Greg Schorn is now working with the Department of Extraterrestrial and Alien Defense (D.E.A.D.). And no one is more surprised than him. After the events in Norway, Greg was sure he would never go back into government work. Yet just a few months later, he is back in the United States working at the new D.E.A.D. headquarters in upstate New York.
But it's not the same D.E.A.D. that existed under Martin Drummond's tyrannical rule. The biggest change starts at the top: Norah Tidwell is the director. But more importantly, missions are not always kill on sight.
That doesn't mean things aren't dire. The numbers aren't adding up. And a slew of cases demonstrate that the creatures from Area 51 have made it into the suburbs, the very rich suburbs.
Greg though, knows they had a little help getting there.
One case leads to many and before Greg knows it, the guy voted most likely trip over his own feet is fighting for his life. Greg will need every ounce of courage he can summon to survive. But his survival is not his top priority. Because this foe has targeted someone close to Greg. And saving them will be Greg's greatest act.
And possibly, his last."
"Epicenters have activated all over the planet, and the Rifts are behaving unpredictably. It might seem time for humanity to unite before this shared threat, but there are too many people who care about nothing but their own interests!
That's fine for the noble Families, but far from fine for a Hunter who has always cared first and foremost for the good of humanity.
Well, nothing for it—time for this world and its humanity to change. What do you mean 'We don’t want to'!? Like anyone asked you . . ."
"It seems Irkutsk Oblast is getting a little too crowded for our hero. Yes, he has found his home here, for now deprived of caring feminine hands. Yes, nearby is the Epicenter, a perfect training ground.
But the trouble is, the young baron has begun to draw attention from the powers that be, who plan to use Galaxius and his capabilities for their own—not always humane—ends . . .
As our refined aristocrat of a hero would say: 'Screw it, good luck to 'em!'"
"Confidence and decisiveness are critical life skills that many people struggle to develop. For listeners who want to take charge of their lives, The Four Paths of Assertiveness provides an indispensable guide to developing and practicing this crucial ability. Youth advocate Scott Cooper and psychologist Naoki Yoshinaga, PhD, identify four categories of assertiveness—social, behavioral, emotional, and mental—and explain how to hone these skills to live a happier life and develop healthier relationships.
Cooper and Yoshinaga expand the definition of assertiveness to include the core elements of speaking up, jumping in, embracing compassion, and accepting life. Speaking up is critical for standing up for ourselves. Jumping in helps us achieve our goals. Embracing compassion supports us in responding to the universal challenge of suffering, including our own. And accepting life means coping with ups and downs. Each chapter focuses on how to practically develop these four aspects of assertiveness and features tools for how to apply these strategies in everyday life.
Grounded in decades of happiness studies and current trends in behavioral psychology, this guide teaches listeners how to live intentionally while staying true to themselves and strengthening their relationships."
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times... it was the 80's!
A fictionalized retelling of somewhat real events about a boy and his band. We didn't have any money, we didn't think we had a future, all we had was the music. A coming of age tale in the era of spandex, big hair and Reganomics."
"Dive into a future of work where technology empowers everyone to be a creator and builder with All Hands on Tech. This pivotal book offers a comprehensive look into the role of citizen developers—business domain experts who are driving IT-enabled innovation using technology previously reserved for professional technologists. Through case studies of citizens and citizen-enabled enterprises, the authors demonstrate how emerging technology bestows unprecedented power on these individuals and unprecedented value on the organizations that channel their efforts. They outline a transformative approach to citizen development that not only enhances companies' innovative capacity via the empowerment of domain experts, but also minimizes risk and liberates IT departments to pursue more strategic initiatives.
All Hands on Tech describes a revolution in work—powered by technology becoming more human and humans becoming more comfortable with technology. This convergence provides a clear pathway for enterprises to leverage the experience and insight of all employees. The authors provide diverse examples of companies that have aligned the work of their citizen developers with wider organizational goals across citizen data science, automation, and development projects. These examples demonstrate why and how to commit to the citizen revolution in your organization."
