Book
Hardcover. Condition: Good. Experience the most devastating storms of the last fifty years through the eyes of the scientific visionaries who took them on and tamed them.For decades, the author, a pioneering meteorologist, has dedicated himself to saving lives by combining science, experience, and instinct. The struggle to understand nature's fury provides fascinating insights into the natural forces that shape our world, and the turbulent politics that influence our scientific establishment.Tracing the Herculean effort to improve weather forecasting and advanced warning systems, the author draws fascinating biographical sketches of the scientists behind the breakthroughs, such as Dr. Theodore Fujita, creator of the Fujita Scale for tornado measurement.With its gripping story-telling approach to major natural disasters, Warnings is narrative nonfiction at its heart-pounding best.''I highly recommend this exceptional book.''--Roger Pielke, Sr., Pielke Climate Science blog''The weatherman's version of The Right Stuff--Mike Smith's Warnings. I recommend it highly.''--Tom Fuller, The Examiner''A fascinating journey inside the world of weather and the mind and heart of the meteorologist. A great read for anyone.''--Bob Ryan, chief meteorologist, WRC TV (NBC), Washington DC, former president, American Meteorological Society''This book chronicles the remarkable advances that have occurred in meteorology over the past 50 years--not through dry statistics but through very personal stories. The book discusses the virtual elimination of airline crashes due to wind shear and the thousands of lives saved by hurricane warnings. Its primary focus is on severe storms in the Midwestern U.S., but the issues raised about the evolution of forecasting the weather, and the impact those forecasts have on the people and commerce, are much more universal. The narrative throughout the book is engaging and compelling, and I found it very hard to put down after reading just the first few pages.This book is not just for hard-core weather enthusiasts or those who work in weather-related fields (though they will love it). Anyone who has ever watched a stormy sky on warm afternoon or felt moved by the images on the news following the Greensburg tornado or Hurricane Katrina (both of which are covered in this book) will get pulled into the narrative of this book.''--Keith Seitter, Executive Director, American Meteorological Society Boston.

Book
Hardcover. Condition: Good. Relationships are collapsing. It is the crisis that everyone feels but that has gone unnamed. We see the pieces: families disintegrating; communities in chaos; businesses losing the trust of customers and employees; political and religious discourse that sows dysfunction and divide. Yet until now, the dots have not been connected that reveal the larger narrative. Cumulatively, our broken relationships have a death grip on economic, political, and social advancements that capitalism, democracy, and social initiatives have been unable to break. This crisis feeds an emerging caste system: Individuals and organizations that possess superior relationships thrive, while those with deteriorating relationships are destined to decline. In This Land of Strangers, Robert Hall lays the crisis bare, and you will be shocked at the magnitude of destruction he reveals.Hall's best-selling business book, The Streetcorner Strategy for Winning Local Markets, helped spawn the customer relationship management movement. Now, with deep passion and insight borne from three decades of study, he widens the lens to look at the breadth of our relational decline and the societal trends that got us here. Focusing on four key domains - home, work, politics, and faith - he presents wide-ranging research that explores the unraveling of our life-giving relationships and the attendant costs. He debunks the assumption that we can build better lives and a stronger society on crumbling relationships.With engaging narrative style and stories, Hall looks at modern life through the prism of relationships. He challenges readers to embrace three aims that will reverse the forces that gave birth to today's land of strangers to usher in a new era - the Age of Relationship.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Stephen Covey inspired millions with his writings but where did Dr. Covey get his inspiration? This is the story of one such source, one that Dr. Covey himself called the most empowered organization he had ever seen - and a nuclear powered submarine no less.From the vantage point of the commander of the USS Santa Fe, read how the crew completely turned the ship around, going from worst to first by questioning many of our basic leadership assumptions and shifting from take-control authority to give-control empowerment.Share the author's insights as the crew gains unprecedented decision making authority, the risks of doing so, and the reward of an exponentially more effective and more resilient organization.Learn how to achieve astounding results by applying the author's practical steps, such as- Release proactivity and initiative with ''I intend to.''- Build teamwork and minimize errors with ''deliberate action''- Enhance responsibility and ownership by eliminating top-down monitoring- Improving morale by focusing on excellence rather than errors.See what it's really like to operate a nuclear submarine -- from navigation to missile launching -- and learn the mechanisms used to propel Santa Fe not only to the top but to achieve a lasting transformation, one that resulted in the ship's continued operational excellence and the highly disproportionate promotion rate among Santa Fe's crew long after Marquet had left command.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. ''Stacy Cohen interweaves fact and fiction in this novel, set in World War II Paris during the Nazi occupation. Loosely basing her tale on the real-life adventures of artist Jean Miro, Cohen unfolds a forbidden love story as France fights for its liberation. Lovers of art, history, and romance will find this novel a real page-turner.''--Julie Pekrul, Between the Covers, Harbor Springs, Mich.''Stacy Cohen shows an overwhelming amount of beauty in her novel The Last Train From Paris, keeping well attached to the traditional WWII love story, but still managing to craft a suspenseful story . . . The Last Train from Paris is a wonderful addition to the genre . . . It's fun, loud, bold, provocative, and quite simply, glorious.''--Bookreview.comSet against the chilling backdrop of Nazi-occupied Paris in 1944, The Last Train from Paris tells the story of forbidden love between an artist turned French soldier and a Russian ballerina. While apprenticing for Henri Matisse, painting the scenery for a ballet at L'Academie Nationale de Musique--Theatre de l'Opera, Jean-Luc Beauchamp meets Natasha, who becomes his creative muse and lone inamorata, inspiring him to become the painter he dreams of being. But Jean-Luc isn't the only man who is enamored with Natasha, and when a Nazi officer forces his attentions on her, she must feign indifference to keep Jean-Luc alive. Driven by passion for his country, his art, and his lover, Jean-Luc fights for France's liberation, even as Natasha looses her freedom and desperately struggles to keep her own secrets hidden.Loosely based on the real-life adventures of Joan Miro, who escaped France on the last train from Paris with his Constellation portfolio, The Last Train from Paris skillfully interweaves truth and fiction into an epic that will appeal to lovers of art and history and romantics everywhere.
