Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: COLBY AWARD WINNER • “One of the most important books to come out of the Afghanistan war.”—Foreign Policy “A saga of courage and futility, of valor and error and heartbreak.”—Rick Atkinson, author of the Liberation Trilogy and The British Are Coming Of the many battlefields on which U.S. troops and intelligence operatives fought in Afghanistan, one remote corner of the country stands as a microcosm of the American campaign: the Pech and its tributary valleys in Kunar and Nuristan. The area’s rugged, steep terrain and thick forests made it a natural hiding spot for local insurgents and international terrorists alike, and it came to represent both the valor and futility of America’s two-decade-long Afghan war. Drawing on reporting trips, hundreds of interviews, and documentary research, Wesley Morgan reveals the history of the war in this iconic region, captures the culture and reality of the conflict through both American and Afghan eyes, and reports on the snowballing missteps—some kept secret from even the troops fighting there—that doomed the American mission. The Hardest Place is the story of one of the twenty-first century’s most unforgiving battlefields and a portrait of the American military that fought there.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You know the story: God told Abraham he would become a great nation. Then he told him to sacrifice his own (and only) son, Isaac. Abraham obeyed God and was about to kill Isaac—when God intervened. This is a classic 'between a rock and a hard place' situation. So how was Abraham able to obey in the face of losing it all? Or to bring it closer to home—what would you have done? In this powerful book, Tony Evans reveals what to do when your love for God is tested. According to Evans, “When you don’t know God, or when you either forget or dismiss what is true about Him, then you don’t know how to respond…” Moving through passages in both the Old and New Testaments, Evans makes a powerful case for obedient living as the key to an abundant life.

Book excerpt: On Sunday April 27, 2003, 27-year old Aron Ralston set off for a day's hiking in the Utah canyons. Dressed in a t-shirt and shorts, Ralston, a seasoned climber, figured he'd hike for a few hours and then head off to work. 40 miles from the nearest paved road, he found himself on top of an 800-pound boulder. As he slid down and off of the boulder it shifted, trapping his right hand against the canyon wall. No one knew where he was; he had little water; he wasn't dressed correctly; and the boulder wasn't going anywhere. He remained trapped for five days in the canyon: hypothermic at night, de-hydrated and hallucinating by day. Finally, he faced the most terrible decision of his life: braking the bones in his wrist by snapping them against the boulder, he hacked through the skin, and finally succeeded in amputating his right hand and wrist. The ordeal, however, was only beginning. He still faced a 60-foot rappell to freedom, and a walk of several hours back to his car - along the way, he miraculously met a family of hikers, and with his arms tourniqued, and blood-loss almost critical, they heard above them the whir of helicopter blades; just in time, Aron was rescued and rushed to hospital. Since that day, Aron has had a remarkable recovery. He is back out on the mountains, with an artificial limb; he speaks to select groups on his ordeal and rescue; and amazingly, he is upbeat, positive, and an inspiration to all who meet him. This is the account of those five days, of the years that led up to them, and where he goes from here. It is narrative non-fiction at its most compelling.

Callous. Cocky.A total playboy with abs for days, a panty-melting smirk, and a face the gods themselves would be jealous of.And he's my new boss.None of that matters, because as a single mom, men like Alexander Harding are the last thing I need. What I do need is this job, so I'm going to keep my head down, work hard, and avoid that asshole as much as humanly possible.But then he gives me an offer I can't refuse, even though everything inside of me is warning me to run away and never look back. It's just one weekend. One weekend to convince a bunch of stuffy investors that Alexander has changed from the player who spent more time in the bedroom than the boardroom into a family man they'd be happy to go into business with.But the more time I spend with him, the more I realize that there might be a beating heart buried under his designer shirts and spectacular pecs after all...which is bad news for me.Because the only thing worse than hating your boss is falling in love with him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this seminal resource, Dr. Kiaras Gharabaghi identifies an underlying absence of unifying theory and practice in Canada's child and youth residential care and treatment services. By drawing on organizational examples from across Canada, Gharabaghi exposes how the historical dynamics of mediocrity and complacency have led to inadequate standards and practices within the system. More assuredly, this resource exposes readers to alternative ways of re-imagining a system that is designed from a space of care, healing, and growth that promotes autonomy for all young people. This well-timed resource offers the child and youth services community a positive, constructive, and revolutionary framework for residential care and treatment that is fundamentally based on a partnership between caregivers and young people, their families, neighbourhoods, and communities. Dr. Gharabaghi’s sophisticated and provocative analysis of the system’s key issues is an essential resource for students, practitioners, and educators in the field of child and youth care and in the human services more broadly.

Book excerpt: You discover your best sales rep has been taking thousands of dollars from the company on the side. She begs for mercy. What do you do? Your company's legal department advises you to "trap" an incompetent subordinate into dismissal by giving him an impossible workload and then documenting his failures. You agree he's incompetent--but he's also a decent person. What do you do? Your biggest client says that if you don't fire an employee who has admitted being gay, you will lose his business. What do you do? In the twilight world of ethical dilemmas, where every option seems difficult or painful, you can find yourself frightened, paralyzed, or just plain miserable as you try to decide what to do. And in a business environment, the choices become even more crucial as you wrestle with how they will impact on the company, profits, co-workers, and customers. But there is a way to make decisions that are both ethical and better for business. A Rock and a Hard Place gives you a system for making decisions that are responsible, practical, and defendable. Author Kent Hodgson, who has a Ph.D. combining psychology, management, and business organizational behavior and is a consultant to major companies, sheds light on the gray zone of ethical quandaries. He shows you how to methodically examine a sticky situation and then make a decision you can live with--personally and from a good-business point of view. "This book is a road map leading you to ask the right questions on the way to dilemma solutions," explains Dr. Hodgson. "It will draw out your personal and organizational values in order to help you make your own best choices." A Rock and a Hard Place sets out his unique three-step process, which combines business values and principles with ethical values and principles. Dr. Hodgson illustrates the process with real-world examples and offers you short exercises to complete, which bring the process into focus. Decision making is probably the most critical of your professional tasks. In A Rock and a Hard Place you will learn how to examine the problem objectively; determine who the key stakeholders are and what they each want; analyze the values and company norms at play for each stakeholder; project possible outcomes of different choices; discover what actions are necessary for a given choice and how those actions will affect you and the other stakeholders; and evaluate the options to get a clear sense of which one is the most responsible, given all the circumstances. A Rock and a Hard Place doesn't promise you will make perfect decisions (in many cases, there is no perfect decision), but you will be able to make better decisions. You'll deliver stronger, faster, more consistent decisions--and you'll move confidently between the "rocks" and the "hard places" of the business world whenever and wherever you find them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twelve years ago, my mother, a powerful chaos witch, walked out on me and my twin brother without a backward glance. We didn't hear another word out of her until a vampire walked into my brother Nick's bar wanting me to track her down. She'd disappeared into thin air, and he insisted that I was the only one who could find her. Of course, I refused. How could I not? Disappearing was Mom's wheelhouse, and after she'd disappeared on us, I never wanted to see her again. Then members of the local supernatural community started turning up dead, and Nick was fingered as the suspect. With his life on the line, I had to make a choice: Throw everything I had at finding the real culprit and, maybe, our mother, or be forced to watch while the local werewolf pack tore Nick limb from limb as punishment for a crime he didn't commit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public theology is an increasingly important area of theological discourse with strong global networks of institutions and academics involved in it. Elaine Graham is one of the UK's leading theologians and an established SCM author. In this book, Elaine Graham argues that Western society is entering an unprecedented political and cultural era, in which many of the assumptions of classic sociological theory and of mainstream public theology are being overturned. Whilst many of the features of the trajectory of religious decline, typical of Western modernity, are still apparent, there are compelling and vibrant signs of religious revival, not least in public life and politics - local, national and global. This requires a revision of the classic secularization thesis, as well as much Western liberal political theory, which set out separate or at least demarcated terms of engagement between religion and the public domain. Elaine Graham examines claims that Western societies are moving from 'secular' to 'post-secular' conditions and traces the contours of the 'post-secular': the revival of faith-based engagement in public sphere alongside the continuing - perhaps intensifying - questioning of the legi¬timacy of religion in public life. She argues that public theology must rethink its theological and strategic priorities in order to be convincing in this new 'post-secular' world and makes the case for the renewed prospects for public theology as a form of Christian apologetics, drawing from Biblical, classical and contemporary sources.

This book celebrates and recognizes their lives and struggles.Featuring over 300 images, this book is divided into six parts- starting with geology and the area's first inhabitants, the arrival of the Spanish, 19th century, modern and depression-era Bernallilo, and the town's relationship with its neighbors to the west.
