    Situation Red: The UFO Siege , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 556min
    In 1973, a virtual epidemic of flying saucer sightings occurred. What was most disturbing was that they seemed to be different from earlier sightings. For instance, there was an increasing incidence of physical injury, dangerous interference, and outright abduction of observers by mysterious beings associated with the phenomena. This carefully documented book presents dozens of incredible yet unimpeachable cases of ordinary men and women who were suddenly caught up in events stranger than the wildest science fiction. Who are these visitors to our planet? What do they want? Why does the air force seem to fear disclosure of the truth? These are the questions that have created Situation Red - a state of emergency for mankind and our entire world. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Pete Ferrand.

    Designing Design
    Representing a new generation of designers in Japan, Kenya Hara pays tribute to his mentors, using long overlooked Japanese icons and images in much of his work. In Designing Design, he impresses upon the reader the importance of "emptiness" in both the visual and philosophical traditions of Japan and its application to design, made visible by means of numerous examples from his own work. "To understand something is not to be able to define it or describe it. Instead, taking something that we think we already know and making it unknown thrills us afresh with its reality and deepens our understanding of it," Hara says of his design philosophy. Designing Design gives the reader an understanding of said philosophy as well as opens their mind to new ways of thinking. Hara, born 1958, is a Japanese graphic designer and professor at the Musashino Art University. He for instance designed the opening and closing ceremony programs for the Nagano Winter Olympic games 1998. In 2001, Hara enrolled as a board member for the Japanese label MUJI and has considerably molded the identity of this successful corporation as communication and design advisor ever since.

    A Comparative Study of Funding Shareholder Litigation
    This book studies the funding problems with shareholder litigation through a functionally comparative way. In fact, funding problems with shareholder lawsuits may largely discourage potential shareholder litigants who bear high financial risk in pursuing such a claim, but on the other hand they may not have much to gain. Considering the lack of incentives for potential shareholder claimants, effective funding techniques should be in place to make shareholder actions function as a corporate governance tool and discipline corporate management. The book analyzes, among others, the practice of funding shareholder litigation in the Australia, Canada, the UK, the US and Israel, and covers all of the typical approaches being used in financing shareholder litigation in the current world. For instance, Israel and Canada (Quebec and Ontario) are probably unique in having a public funding mechanism for derivative actions and class actions, while Australia is the country where third party litigation funding is originated and is growing rapidly. Based on this comparative research, the last part of this book discusses how to fund shareholder litigation in China in context of its social and legal background and what kind of problems need to be solved if certain funding techniques are used.

    The Case of the Sapphire Brooch (eBook, ePUB)
    It wasn't easy to forget the frightened hostility in her face and the shrill hysteria of her voice when she'd closed and bolted the door.Who were the intruders who left bloodstains and a sapphire brooch in Paul Farrell's flat? And, since nothing was taken, why should that flat be burgled at all? That problem was only the beginning. What, for instance, had become of Farrell's wife? And of the girl adopted by the vicar's sister? And why should that sister plant bulbs on a stranger's grave? And why should a Soho head-waiter, doing pretty well for himself, suddenly commit suicide?These were only some of the problems confronting Ludovic Travers and his old friends, Matthews and Jewle of Scotland Yard. A tangle, indeed, of intrigue, blackmail and murder that seemed unsolvable: and yet, when finally resolved, makes the reader wonder why he had not found the answers long before. This is vintage Christopher Bush.The Case of the Sapphire Brooch was originally published in 1960. This new edition features an introduction by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans."Freshness both of plot and writing." Anthony Berkeley"Travers continues to be a wholly satisfying creation."

    Norms and the Study of Language in Social Life (eBook, PDF)
    Sociolinguistics and the social sciences more generally tend to take an interest in norms as central to social life. The importance of norms is easily discernible in the sociolinguistic canon, for instance in Labov's definition of the speech community as 'participation in a set of shared norms' and Hymes' concepts of 'norms of interaction' and 'norms of interpretation'. Yet, while the notion of norms may play a central role in sociolinguistic theory, there is little explicit theoretical work around the notion of norms itself within the discipline. Instead, norms tend to be treated as conceptual primes - convenient building blocks, ready-made for sociolinguistic theorizing - rather than theoretical constructs in need of reflexive attention. The aim of this book is to assess and advance current understandings of norms as a theoretical construct and empirical object of research in the study of language in social life. The contributors approach the topic from a range of complementary disciplinary perspectives, including sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, EM/CA, socio-cognitive linguistics and pragmatics, to provide a multifaceted view of norms as a central concept in the study of language in social life.

    Anxiety Workbook: The Proven System for Managing, Coping, and Overcoming Anxiety for Both Women & Men: Cure Your Phobia and Reach Mindfulness Mastery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 50min
    Learn how to manage, cope with, and overcome anxiety, cure phobia, and reach mindfulness mastery! We all have our moments when we are scared or afraid of the unknown. It is natural (survival) instinct for us humans to fear the unknown. We all love certainty. We love it if we could check all the boxes regarding anything we want. Whether it is speaking in public, meeting new people, heights, interviews, etc., we wish there could be a way in which we could get "insider" information into the future so that we can prepare adequately. Unfortunately, as you are well aware, the future is very well-known for its characteristic of being very uncertain. While the fear is often warranted, more often than not, we just cannot seem to take charge of the situation. For instance, we could simply be afraid of being in dark or enclosed places, afraid of speaking in public, meeting new people, afraid of heights, afraid of insects, and many other things. What’s strange is that most of us know that some of these fears are unfounded, yet we cannot gather enough courage to overcome them; we are helpless. All this is anxiety and can have a profound negative effect in our lives. For instance, anxiety can make it hard for you to forego different opportunities, e.g. new job opportunities, just because you are afraid of the unknown. Anxiety can make you not interact with people as you would want to, can make it hard to quit a job that you distaste, can drain your energy and leave you feeling tired, etc. All these can make you feel disappointed with yourself in life and could ultimately bring such problems like low self-esteem, low self-confidence, mediocrity, and much, much more. Since you are reading this, it is clear that you want to do something about your anxiety. Lucky for you, this audiobook has all you need to know to fight anxiety successfully so that you can unlock the opportunities that have been passing you by and transform your life in ways you’ve n ungekürzt.

    The Meaning of Prayer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 576min
    When anyone undertakes to study the meaning and to cultivate the habit of prayer, it is well for the person to understand, from the beginning, that he is dealing with a natural function of his life and not with an artificial addition. For instance, raising palm trees in Greenland would be an unnatural proceeding. They never were intended to grow there and never can grow there save under stress of artificial forcing. The culture of prayer would be just as strained a procedure, were it not true that the tendency to pray is native to us, that prayer is indigenous in us, that we do pray, one way or another, even though fitfully and without effect, and that we humans always have prayed and always will pray. ungekürzt.
