The Best-Laid Business Plans: How to Write Them, How to Pitch Them (Virgin Business Guides)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Planning is not just for start-ups - it`s the key to successful business development and growth for every company, new or old. But once a business is up and running, it`s all too easy to concentrate on the day-to-day operations and work towards short-term goals. Even these should be assessed carefully. If you`re launching new products and services, taking on more people, relocating to bigger premises, buying a business or selling one, you`ll do it better if you plan it. However, the all-purpose business plans advocated in most business books aren`t necessarily the best ones. You need a range of plans for different audiences and purposes. This book shows you how to present the right plan for the right audience - so you stand a better chance of getting what you need. The sound practical advice, case studies and exercises - in this book - will help you through the planning process and ensure that yours are indeed the best-laid business plans. [detailed...]

Steven Kaplan
The Beta Israel: Falasha in Ethiopia: From Earliest Times to the Twentieth Century

1995 y.
Publisher: NYU Press
Description: The origin of the Black Jews of Ethiopia has long been a source of fascination and controversy. Their condition and future continues to generate debate. The culmination of almost a decade of research, The Beta Israel (Falasha) in Ethiopia marks the publication of the first book-length scholarly study of the history of this unique community. In this volume, Steven Kaplan seeks to demythologize the history of the Falasha and to consider them in the wider context of Ethiopian history and culture. This marks a clear departure from previous studies which have viewed them from the external perspective of Jewish history. Drawing on a wide variety of sources including the Beta Israel`s own literature and oral traditions, Kaplan demonstrates that they are not a lost Jewish tribe, but rather an ethnic group which emerged in Ethiopia between the 14th and 16th century. Indeed, the name, Falasha, their religious hierarchy, sacred texts, and economic specialization can all be dated to this… [detailed...]

The Betrayal Of Dissent : Beyond Orwell, Hitchens and the New American Century

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionSince his death in 1950, George Orwell has been canonized as England`s foremost political writer, and the standard-bearer of honesty and decency for the honorable `Left`. In this controversial book, Scott Lucas argues that the exaltation of Orwell, far from upholding dissent against the State, has sought to quash such opposition. Indeed, Orwell has become the icon of those who try to silence public criticism of US and UK foreign policy in the `War on Terror`. Lucas`s lively and readable critique of public intellectuals including Christopher Hitchens, Michael Walzer, David Aaronovitch, and Johann Hari -- who have all invoked Orwellian honesty and decency to shut down dissent -- will appeal to anyone disillusioned with the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Lucas contends that these leading journalists and commentators have used Orwell to justify their own political transition from radicals to upholders of the establishment. He argues that we must rescue… [detailed...]

Julius Getman
The Betrayal of Local 14

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: International Paper, the richest paper company and largest landowner in the United States, enjoyed record profits and gave large bonuses to executives in 1987, that same year the company demanded that employees take a substantial paycut, sacrifice hundreds of jobs, and forego their Christmas holiday. At the Adroscoggin Mill in Jay, Maine, twelve hundred workers responded by going on strike from June 1987 to October 1988. Local union members mobilized an army of volunteers but International Paper brought in permanent replacement workers and the strike was ultimately lost. Julius G. Getman tells the story of that strike and its implications--a story of a community changing under pressure, of surprising leaders, strategists, and orators emerging, of lifelong friendships destroyed and new bonds forged. At a time when the role of organized labor is in transition, Getman suggests, this strike has particular significance. He documents the early negotiations, the battle for public… [detailed...]

The Betrayal of Work: How Low-Wage Jobs Fail 30 Million Americans and Their Families

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: How the United States turns its back on the working poor. An astonishing 35 million Americans work full time but do not make a living wage. They are nursing home staff, poultry processors, pharmacy assistants, ambulance drivers, child care workers, data entry keyers, janitors. Indeed, one in four American workers lives in or near poverty. Despite the great wealth of the United States, these low-wage employees have lower living standards than comparable workers in other industrial nations. Beth Shulman spent several years traveling across the country talking to those living on low wages. In writing The Betrayal of Work , she provides the fullest portrait of America`s working poor, dispelling a number of myths along the way: that lower unemployment has meant better living conditions for the poor, that making bad jobs into good jobs requires insurmountably difficult reforms, that low-wage work is always low-skilled. Following in the footsteps of Barbara Ehrenreich`s… [detailed...]

The Betrayal: The Lost Life of Jesus: A Novel

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: There is an alternate story of the life of Jesus. One the early Church fathers found so menacing they outlawed the books that documented it, ordered them burned, and threatened anyone found copying them with death. International bestselling authors and award-winning archaeologists Kathleen O`Neal Gear and W. Michael Gear put more than thirty years of exhaustive research into this fascinating novel. In A.D. 325, Brother Barnabas is a student of the ancient holy texts. These books paint a portrait of Jesus that is radical, heretical, and irresistible. In the writings of Mary Magdalene, Phillip, and James, Barnabas finds clues to a secret he must protect at all costs. But the Ecumenical Council of Bishops has just declared his cherished books `a hotbed of manifold perversity.` Emperor Constantine has decreed that the documents must be burned and that anyone found copying them will be executed as a heretic. Barnabas`s monastery is attacked. Brother Barnabas flees with his trusted… [detailed...]

The Better Part: Stages of Contemplative Living

Publisher: Continuum
Description: The talks on which this book was based were given at the John Main Seminar in 1998, the annual international event of the World Community for Christian Meditation. Previous presenters have included the Dalai Lama, Jean Vanier, Bede Griffiths, and William Johnston. Father Keating`s enlightening commentary on the contemplative meaning of the gospel, particularly the story of the siblings from Bethany, Martha, Mary, and Lazarus, fits into the great monastic tradition of Christian teaching. A monk reflects on Scripture in the light of experience. He or she utters a word that startles his listeners into realizing that tradition is not a matter of second-hand experience but the living and human self-transmission of Christ to his disciples.

Publisher: Wordsworth Editions Limited
Description: Arguably India`s greatest gift to the world, `The Bhagavadgita` (`The Song of the Blessed`) forms an episode in the sixth book of the Hindu epic `The Mahabharata` and is the supreme work of that religion. The Gita consists of the dialogue between Prince Arjuna and his mentor and friend, Lord Krishna, on the eve of the climactic battle of Kuruksetra. This discourse contains an exposition of the Hindu philosophy of Karma Yoga (disciplined action performed in the right spirit) as Prince Arjuna struggles with his understandable `existential` anguish at having to join battle against his gurus and kinsmen. The Gita, although almost 2500 years old, contains profound truths of great relevance to contemporary society in India and the West. Издание на английском языке. [detailed...]

The Bible As Literature: An Introduction

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: As in the widely popular earlier editions, the latest revision of this comprehensive and systematic text approaches the Bible from a literary/historical perspective, studying it as a body of writing produced by real people who intended to convey messages to actual audiences. Avoiding assessments of the Bible`s truth or authority, the authors maintain a rigorously objective tone as they discuss such major issues as the forms and strategies of biblical writing, its actual historical and physical settings, the process of canon formation, and the nature of biblical genres including prophecy, apocalypse, and gospel. The fifth edition features a new coauthor, David Citino, a new chapter by contributor Nicola Denzey on the essential yet often overlooked role of women and the Bible, and a new appendix on modern approaches to the Bible. It also incorporates new maps, a timeline, updated bibliographies, and revised material throughout. This objective, easy-to-use, and exciting… [detailed...]

Frederic March
The Bible Through the Eyes of Its Authors: A Political History of Ancient Israel &, Judah

2006 y.
Publisher: iUniverse, Inc.
Description: The Bible Through the Eyes of Its Authors interprets the Bible as a human creation by ancient priests who advocated political, social, military, and religious agendas for their nation. They lived in a world of great empires with a two-millennium history before their nation was founded. Thus they inherited an advanced culture that embraced the authoritarian values of imperial powers, together with humanistic traditions, legends, and written laws. However, The Bible Through the Eyes of Its Authors is not a dry historical analysis. Author Frederic March explores the Bible as a dramatic historical epic in five eras, twenty-one acts, and more than two hundred scenes. Using archaeological evidence, he applies knowledge about the authors’ world to interpret each scene. Unlike a traditional Bible study, the commentary does not infer God’s intent but that of the respective authors. The book confronts the Bible’s stunning moral contradictions. For example the loving… [detailed...]

The Bible Unearthed: Archaeology`s New Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of Its Sacred Texts

2002 y.
Publisher: Free Press
Description: The Bible Unearthed is a balanced, thoughtful, bold reconsideration of the historical period that produced the Hebrew Bible. The headline news in this book is easy to pick out: there is no evidence for the existence of Abraham, or any of the Patriachs, ditto for Moses and the Exodus, and the same goes for the whole period of Judges and the united monarchy of David and Solomon. In fact, the authors argue that it is impossible to say much of anything about ancient Israel until the seventh century B.C, around the time of the reign of King Josiah. In that period, `the narrative of the Bible was uniquely suited to further the religious reform and territorial ambitions of Judah.` Yet the authors deny that their arguments should be construed as compromisig the Bible`s power. Only in the 18th century--`when the Hebrew Bible began to be dissected and studied in isolation from its powerful function in community life`--did readers begin to view the Bible as a source of empirically… [detailed...]

Description: There are many books about how people ought to interpret the Bible. This book is about how people in churches actually interpret the Bible, and why they interpret it in the way that they do. Based on a study of Anglicans in the Church of England, it explores the interaction of belief, personality, experience and context and sheds new light on the way that texts interact with readers. The author shows how the results of such study can begin to shape an empirically-based theology of scripture. This unique study approaches reader-centred criticism and the theology of scripture from a completely new angle, and will be of interest to both scholars and those who use the bible in churches.

The Bible in Pictures: From the Workshop of Lucas Cranach (1534)

2009 y.
Publisher: Taschen
Description: The complete 117 images that triggered a religious revolution. Martin Luther`s Bible, published in 1534, was the first complete German Bible and a pivotal event in the history of Christianity. Luther`s revolutionary translation, modern in vernacular and interpretation, made the Bible accessible to laypeople, fueled anger and revulsion toward Rome and the Papacy, and begat a new religion: Protestantism. The most desirable copies came with shockingly graphic and politically-charged illustrations, such as those depicting the Whore of Babylon riding a seven-headed beast while wearing the Papal crown, or the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse led by a Turkish soldier. Taschen is publishing the 117 hand-colored woodcut illustrations, created in the workshop of Lucas Cranach. Each is meticulously reproduced from a rare and sumptuous original copy, belonging to the Herzogin Anna Amalia Bibliothek in Weimar. Stephan Fussel provides a scholarly overview of Luther`s life, the historic… [detailed...]
