From a Refugee to a Retiree

From a Refugee to a Retiree

Steven Fazekas

Authorhouse
2020
pokkari
As the title implies this book is indeed a chronicle of an adventurous life. Told in a narrative fashion, this biographical book takes the reader on a five-decade journey from communist Hungary to a Miami Beach retirement. Stephan, the book's main subject, had experienced various incidents, events, affairs, romantic entanglement and dangerous episodes throughout three continents. Luck and providence may have saved him from the not so safe parts of these occurrences. Stephan's eventful life provided him with ample joy and sadness, and of course with enough happiness and disappointments. His less than flawless character may have been the quintessential 'good, bad and ugly' in most of the circumstances, but was never boring and never felt sorry for himself. Stephan's intrepid approach to life is often reckless and heedless yet it is always confident and resilient. The reader might find his life story riveting and perhaps entertaining as well.

This work includes a foreword by John D Morgan, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, Coordinator for Kings College Center for Education about Death and Bereavement, Ontario, Canada. This practical resource guides the reader though all aspects of the grieving process and offers thought-provoking and inspirational advice on support. With exercises, tips, and contacts for further assistance, "Finding a Sacred Oasis in Grief" provides a comprehensive understanding of this potentially difficult and complex topic. It examines different types of grief and various approaches, along with reference guides to particular religions and their traditions adopting a comprehensive, multi-faith approach. Pastoral care providers and religious leaders will find the unique, hands-on approach invaluable, as will members of support organisations and volunteer carers. It is also ideal for seminary and ministry students, counsellors, therapists and other care professionals. "Gives caregivers the tools to help dying and grieving persons face the best and worst that life has to offer. It is the worst, because death means the end of the attachments that make life worthwhile. It is the best, because it shows us what is truly meaningful and important in life. Mortality is a great gift if we have the knowledge and the courtesy to face it." - John D Morgan, in the Foreword.

You've happened upon three taut tales of tension, mayhem, double-dealing, and dark deeds, all penned by a master craftsman who rarely writes about someplace he hasn't been, or something he hasn't done.In this trilogy's opening tale, Dead Drop, private detective and often seasick SCUBA diver J.D. Harris heads down to the beautiful Caribbean islands, hoping to find his missing partner, and instead discovers a diabolical trap and the kind of femme fatale who can give a man sweat-soaked nightmares. In The Other End of Newbury Street, Hartov takes us back to Boston in the early 1970s, where a barely surviving gumshoe and screwup named Arthur Friedland can't seem to get even one thing right. And at last, with Pocket Litter, Hartov brings us back into his own past world of spies and terrorists, and a nail-biting rendezvous where an intelligence officer is about to get himself killed because of one small slip.These are the kinds of stories that hard-drinking writers used to pen about rough men and women, written by a pro who's inherited the mantles of Mickey Spillane and Len Deighton. Pour yourself a tumbler of whiskey, light up a smoke, and hold onto your hats and guns.From New York Times bestselling author STEVEN HARTOV (The Last of the Seven, The Soul of a Thief, and In the Company of Heroes) comes this collection of climactic short stories which embody the essence of noir, skillfully crafted for the modern reader."The ghosts of Raymond Chandler, James M. Caine and Horace McCoy are at a bar lamenting the end of the American short story. In comes Papa Hemingway with a copy of M nage Noir. 'Thank God we still have Steven Hartov, ' he says. They all clink glasses."- Jerome Preisler, New York Times bestselling author

Writing a Book or Thesis in Microsoft Word: Some Important Tasks and Difficulties

Writing a Book or Thesis in Microsoft Word: Some Important Tasks and Difficulties

Steven Adams

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2018
nidottu
The purpose of this book is to help you find in Word a valuable tool instead of an obstacle, to enjoy using it while you become familiar with some powerful aspects of this great editor. The order of the main sections reflects the order an author may like to observe. Assuming you enjoy some familiarity with Word, I skip functions such as how to change the style of a paragraph: the book is not for experts, but also not for absolute beginners; I'm not providing an exhaustive presentation of Word's abilities and disabilities. Everywhere emphasis is given to common mistakes and to ways of letting the program be effective, achieving easily tasks that may otherwise need a lot of time, especially when a document is large and complex.

Slutt å gruble, begynn å leve; ACT

Steven Hayes

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), som på norsk kalles aksept- og forpliktelsesterapi, er den nye generasjonen kognitiv terapi - og er en terapeutisk tilnærming med et solid vitenskapelig fundament. Sentralt i ACT er antakelsen om: 1) at tanke- og følelsesmessig smerte er en uunngåelig del av livet og som oftest et resultat av normale psykologiske prosesser og 2) at alle forsøk på å unngå eller kontrollere smertefulle opplevelser, tanker eller følelser fører til enda mer smerte. Gjennom metaforer, paradokser og mindfulness-orienterte øvelser kan vi lære å møte grubling, bekymring og de ubehagelige følelsestilstandene som følger med godta dem slik de er - uten frykt, unngåelse eller kontroll. Det er først når du glir slipp på tanke- og følelseskontrollen, at du kan oppnå psykologisk fleksibilitet. Kall det gjerne en ny form for kontroll, men det er en som vitaliserer og befrir deg fra faste rammer og atferdsmønstre, fordi du kan være fullt og helt til stede i øyeblikket.

A Scythe of Fire: Through the Civil War with One of Lee's Most Legendary Regiments

Steven E. Woodworth

William Morrow Company
2003

The men of the Eighth Georgia Infantry Regiment answered the Confederate call to arms in the spring of 1861. They fought hard in most major battles of the war, including Bull Run and Gettysburg, enduring heartbreaking losses and finally, at Appomattox, witnessing their ultimate defeat. A Scythe of Fire tells the remarkable story of this regiment, which held together through long years of victory, defeat, and despair. The magnificent product of meticulous research, Warren Wilkinson and Steven E. Woodworth's stirring chronicle brings the conflict alive through the eyes of the courageous men who fought and died on the nation's battlefields. Based on personal accounts, diaries, letters, and other primary sources, A Scythe of Fire is the history of the Eighth Georgia as experienced by those who carried its standard into battle: doctors and farmers, landowners and simple folk -- each dedicated to victory, yet proud and unbroken in the face of defeat.

A Mighty Fortress

HarperCollins

The word "German" was being used by the Romans as early as the mid-first century B.C. to describe tribes in the eastern Rhine valley. Nearly two thousand years later, the richness and complexity of German history have faded beneath the long shadow of the country's darkest hour in World War II. Now, award-winning historian Steven Ozment, whom The New Yorker has hailed as "a splendidly readable scholar," gives us the fullest portrait possible in this sweeping, original, and provocative history of the German people, from antiquity to the present, holding a mirror up to an entire civilization -- one that has been alternately Western Europe's most successful and most perilous.

Think Like a Freak: The Authors of Freakonomics Offer to Retrain Your Brain

Steven D. Levitt; Stephen J. Dubner

William Morrow Company

The New York Times bestselling Freakonomics changed the way we see the world, exposing the hidden side of just about everything. Then came SuperFreakonomics, a documentary film, an award-winning podcast, and more.Now, with Think Like a Freak, Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner have written their most revolutionary book yet. With their trademark blend of captivating storytelling and unconventional analysis, they take us inside their thought process and teach us all to think a bit more productively, more creatively, more rationally--to think, that is, like a Freak.Levitt and Dubner offer a blueprint for an entirely new way to solve problems, whether your interest lies in minor lifehacks or major global reforms. As always, no topic is off-limits. They range from business to philanthropy to sports to politics, all with the goal of retraining your brain. Along the way, you'll learn the secrets of a Japanese hot-dog-eating champion, the reason an Australian doctor swallowed a batch of dangerous bacteria, and why Nigerian e-mail scammers make a point of saying they're from Nigeria.Some of the steps toward thinking like a Freak: First, put away your moral compass--because it's hard to see a problem clearly if you've already decided what to do about it. Learn to say "I don't know"--for until you can admit what you don't yet know, it's virtually impossible to learn what you need to. Think like a child--because you'll come up with better ideas and ask better questions. Take a master class in incentives--because for better or worse, incentives rule our world. Learn to persuade people who don't want to be persuaded--because being right is rarely enough to carry the day. Learn to appreciate the upside of quitting--because you can't solve tomorrow's problem if you aren't willing to abandon today's dud.Levitt and Dubner plainly see the world like no one else. Now you can too. Never before have such iconoclastic thinkers been so revealing--and so much fun to read.
