Usually mails within 12 hours. ; 0.63 x 6.89 x 4.18; 208 pages; Kim Stanley Robinson, justly famous for his science fiction, has created a mesmerizing fantasy work in A Short, Sharp Shock. Each brief chapter (with evocative titles such as ""Beauty Is the Promise of Happiness"") explores a little further along the path of the amnesiac protagonist, Thel. Thel finds himself on an amazing world, which has just one narrow ridge of land encircling the globe, with endless ocean on either side. And Thel is on a quest, searching for the woman who was with him when he first awakened, but who was taken by the murderous spine kings. In his travels along the ribbon of land, Thel encounters exotic local peoples and their legends of the origin of the world, and learns more about his companions and himself. Robinson's imagination is far-ranging and he has a pointed way with words: in a scene where Thel is slowly pushed through a magical mirror, Robinson's evocation of pain is unforgetta ., Bantam, 1996, NY: Times Business, 1995 Katzenbach was chosen by the team of executives and consultants in a number of different industries to do the actual writing in this focus on "real change leaders." Seven common characteristics make up the "RCL," e.g., one who is willing both to see his or her job outside of its daily operation and to meet the changing climate of the world today. The authors differentiate between "good managers" and RCLs and include a self-test. "The Real Change Leaders Handbook for Action" concludes the work, suggesting a course of action for effecting change. This book should be read by managers, management educators, and those studying management. It is more than a simple how-to title; it can be read and the techniques used at several levels., Times Business, 1995, NY: Hyperion, 1999 Some people spend their lives reacting to what life hands them, while others craft life to fit their goals. Author Phillip C. McGraw, who is a psychologist but describes himself as a strategist, is determined to make sure that his readers are the creators of their lives, not created by their lives. By accepting that you are personally accountable for every element of your life, McGraw says, you can erase the negative "epidemic behaviors" (found in all of American society: denial, false assumptions, inertia, deceptive masking) in your life and reach your goals. Written in a tough-love, sometimes cantankerous tone, this self-help book is not for those looking to explore their inner child or visualize away negative energy. No, this is pull-yourself-up-by-the- bootstraps advice from someone who's done just that. McGraw opens with a scene describing how he helped Oprah Winfrey survive--and win--the 1998 "Mad Cow" lawsuit in Texas, when she was having difficulty coping with the reality of what was happening to her. He helped her face the facts about the lawsuit, after which she was better able to participate in crafting a strategy to win it. McGraw first forces you to take a good hard look at who you are by dissecting your personality. It may be painful to realize that you fall into the "Porcupine" or "Perfecto" or any of the other personality types McGraw delineates, but here it's true that there's no gain without pain, because (Life Law No. 4) "You Can't Change What You Don't Acknowledge." He then describes in depth all 10 "Life Laws"--the rules by which the world plays--that he learned the hard way. Laws such as "You Either Get It, or You Don't," "Life Is Managed; It Is Not Cured," and "You Have to Name It to Claim It" make up the bulk of the book and McGraw's realist philosophy. If you learn and abide by the Life Laws and go on to create a Life Strategy, McGraw claims you will not only know yourself better and eliminate negative behaviors, you will also know how to reach any goal you set for yourself., Hyperion, 1999, Indialog Publisher, 2008. Hardcover. New. A Midsummer Night`s Dream is one of Shakespeare`s strangest, quirkiest, and most delightful creations, and demonstrates both the extent of his learning and the expansiveness of his imagination. It is one of the most popular of his plays that marks a departure from his other works and of English Renaissance theatre. Though most of the conflict in the Play stems from the troubles of romance, it is not truly a Love story; it treats love as tragic, poignant, absurd and farcical, making the audience poke fun at the torments and afflictions of those in love. Shakespeare uses the motif of magic, both to embody the almost Supernatural power of love (symbolized by the love potion) and to create a surreal world. Although the misuse of Magic causes chaos, as when Puck mistakenly applies the love potion to Lysander`s eyelids, magic ultimately resolves the play`s tensions by restoring love to Balance among the main Athenian characters. As the title suggests, Dreams are an important theme; they are linked to the bizarre, magical mishaps in the forest, culminating in one enchanting yet ambiguous drama. However, the darker side of the play should not be ignored, nor the rapid mobility with which the actors transfer their amorous desires from one person to the other.

I Will Wait For You ... begins in mirth, proceeds in suspense and mystery; the climax cuddles your blood and horror grips you. The denouement makes you smile through tears, and the ending leaves you panting for more. This is not entirely a horror story; it is not even a thriller. It would be fair to say that there is really not much action in here, which may look surprising, considering that the story revolves around the world of school children who are away from their families. What has been created here is an illusion of action built up in every page. The plot leaves you anticipating a great revelation at the end. From the very beginning you are there as its integral part, breathing and counting every second, till the mystery reveals and then once again you are there to see the consequences. You are so engrossed in the story, in the characters and their conflicting emotions that you never miss the action. It takes the most fantastic assumptions and has created life-like characters. Anushka, Aanya and Tanmay are so real that you experience their elation, their confusion, their frustration, their fear, in other words, their every emotion as you turn page after page. It is a work of innovative design that will spur the long unsatisfied hunger for thrill and you will ask for more. Contents : Preface; Acknowledgements; 1. The Hiss of Moonless Night; 2.
