Losing My Religion: A Call For Help

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionCrucial to the vitality of any religious community is its ability to attract and engage descendants and converts. By this measure, notwithstanding the proliferation of mosques and Islamic organizations, the Muslim community in America is not doing at all well.` This rather sober assessment motivates Dr. Lang to address, in this book, the alienation from the Mosque of the great majority of America`s homegrown Muslims. In Losing My Religion: A Call For Help, the author comes to terms with many of the queries put to him by Americans of Muslim parentage and converts to Islam since the publication of his book Even Angels Ask in 1997. Lang asserts that to effectively respond to the general malaise of American-born Muslims, the Islamic establishment in America needs to be willing to listen to the doubts and complaints of the disaffected. This entails engaging in open discussions on issues with which many in the Muslim community will be uncomfortable, but Lang avers that… [detailed...]

William Lobdell
Losing My Religion: How I Lost My Faith Reporting on Religion in America-and Found Unexpected Peace

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: William Lobdell`s journey of faith—and doubt—may be the most compelling spiritual memoir of our time. Lobdell became a born-again Christian in his late 20s when personal problems—including a failed marriage—drove him to his knees in prayer. As a newly minted evangelical, Lobdell—a veteran journalist—noticed that religion wasn`t covered well in the mainstream media, and he prayed for the Lord to put him on the religion beat at a major newspaper. In 1998, his prayers were answered when the Los Angeles Times asked him to write about faith. Yet what happened over the next eight years was a roller-coaster of inspiration, confusion, doubt, and soul-searching as his reporting and experiences slowly chipped away at his faith. While reporting on hundreds of stories, he witnessed a disturbing gap between the tenets of various religions and the behaviors of the faithful and their leaders. He investigated religious institutions that acted less ethically than corrupt Wall St. firms. He found few… [detailed...]

Richard Branson
Losing My Virginity: The Autobiography

2007 y.
Publisher: Virgin Books
Description: Much more than just a memoir, this is Richard Branson`s own take on his extraordinary life so far - and a definitive business guide that reveals his unique philosophy on commerce, success and life. Richard looks back on how Virgin grew from a mail-order music business into the global brand it is today, and how, rather like his balloon flights, the years have been as much about endurance and survival as they have been about runaway success. He shares the inside story of his latest projects in the areas of health, the environment and the media, as well as his reflections on his own intrepid adventures and family life. From the $25 million Virgin Earth initiative to the launch of Virgin Galactic, this is a powerful and unique look into the life of an iconic global entrepreneur. Формат: 11 см x 18 см. [detailed...]

Losing Work, Moving on: International Perspectives on Worker Displacement

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This volume presents a collaborative effort by 22 labor economists who examine worker displacement and the attempts to address it in 10 industrialized countries. Using large nationally-representative data sets and detailed policy analysis, the authors focus on two key questions related to worker displacement: 1) whether the experiences of displaced workers in the Untied States, and the patterns of experiences across workers, echo patterns seen in other developed countries, and 2) what can be learned, both from the similarities and from the differences across countries? For instance, do commonalities in displaced workers` experiences across all countries reveal fundamental features of modern industrialized economies? Are international differences informative about the efficacy of different public policy approaches to worker displacement across countries? Within-country patterns are described using a number of demographic characteristics including age, tenure, gender, and skill… [detailed...]

Losing the Garden : The Story of a Marriage

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn 1971 Laura and Guy Waterman decided to give up all the conveniences of life and homestead-living on the land in a cabin in the mountains of Vermont. For nearly three decades they ate food they grew themselves, and used no running wateror electricity. It was an extreme that most of us can only imagine sustaining for a week or two. The end of their marriage came on February 6, 2000 when Guy climbed to the summit of Mount Lafayette in New Hampshire`s White Mountains and sat down among the rocks to die. Losing the Garden is the memoir of a woman who was compelled to ask herself `How could I stand by and watch my husband commit suicide?` It is an intimate examination of intricate and dark family histories and of a marriage that tried to transcend them. Laura`s father was a pre-eminent scholar whose brilliance was muddied by alcoholism. Guy Waterman lost two of his sons. In Losing the Garden, Laura Waterman comes to terms with her husband`s depression and his complex… [detailed...]

Description: With half of all new businesses failing in the first two years, every aspect of good business planning must be considered, but loss prevention is very often overlooked. Most small business owners grapple with the day to day challenges of sales and marketing, never realizing that the shadow of shrinkage is expanding daily, waiting to reveal itself in the annual inventory results.

Loss Reserving - An Actuarial Perspective (HUEBNER INTERNATIONAL SERIES ON RISK, INSURANCE AND)

Publisher: —
Description: All property and casualty insurers are required to carry out loss reserving as a statutory accounting function. Thus, loss reserving is an essential sphere of activity, and one with its own specialized body of knowledge. While few books have been devotedto the topic, the amount of published research literature on loss reserving has almost doubled in size during the last fifteen years. Greg Taylor`s book aims to provide a comprehensive, state-of-the-art treatment of loss reserving that reflects contemporary research advances to date. Divided into two parts, the book covers both the conventional techniques widely used in practice, and more specialized loss reserving techniques employing stochastic models. Part I, Deterministic Models, covers very practical issues through the abundant use of numerical examples that fully develop the techniques under consideration. Part II, Stochastic Models, begins with a chapter that sets up the additional theoretical material needed to illustrate… [detailed...]

Description: In Paul Jasmin`s hauntingly beautiful new book, Lost Angeles , the city takes on a quality of light and personality known only to someone who has experienced it first hand. Here are the `tarnished angels` that hang out on Hollywood Boulevard or in local motel rooms, that have come to L.A. looking for the American dream, Hollywood style, and have quickly discovered it takes more than just desire to succeed. Jasmin combines formally fluid pictures of these youths languishing in dreamlike settings or in erotically charged compositions--clothed and unclothed. His images present the viewer with a personal survey of Los Angeles, of the place and the people who live there, some of whom have realized their dreams, some of whom are still searching. A major figure in the world of photography and an influence on many of today`s young artists, Jasmin has included among his subjects his friends, including Sofia Coppola, who along with long-time friend and admirer Bruce Weber, have… [detailed...]

Lost Border: The Landscape of the Iron Curtain

Description: Book DescriptionEvery man is a Berliner, forced to look upon a scar….Behind me stands a wall that encircles the free sectors of this city, part of a vast system of barriers that divides the entire continent of Europe. From the Baltic, south, those barriers cut across Germany in a gash of barbed wire, concrete, dog runs, and guard towers. Farther south, there may be no visible, no obvious wall. But there remain armed guards and checkpoints all the same -- still a restriction on the right to travel, still an instrument to impose upon ordinary men and women the will of a totalitarian state. Ronald Reagan delivered these words as part of his famous `Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!` speech of June 1987. Two years later, that wall did in fact come down. The Lost Border is the astonishing and powerful visual record of that transformation, published on the fifteenth anniversary of the wall`s collapse. Acclaimed photographer Brian Rose began shooting the borderlands between East and West… [detailed...]

Description: Lost Boys, Slava Mogutin`s first monograph, is a compelling collection of his portraits and landscapes taken over the past ten years?since he was exiled from Russia for `malicious hooliganism with exceptional cynicism and extreme insolence.` Although it was his outspoken gay writing that angered the Soviet authorities, Mogutin`s photographs caused just as much controversy. Provocative yet iconoclastic, his work transcends the conventions of male nude photography, confronting the viewer/voyeur with a raw style and new sensibility. A cross between porn and fashion, pop culture and marginal kink, Lost Boys is a poetic and sometimes raunchy journey into different obsessions and fetishes of the cosmopolitan urban youth culture. Crimean rasta boys, Russian wrestlers and military cadets, German skinheads, and football hooligans are among the subjects of these incendiary but intimate portraits. [detailed...]
