Lt. Gen. Hunter Liggett's forty-year career spanned the period from the Indian Wars in the territories of Montana and Dakota to the trenches of World War I. For someone who experienced many individual triumphs and battlefield victories—including the final push of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive—he often is overshadowed by figures such as John J. Pershing or George C. Marshall. His quiet demeanor sometimes did not serve him well, but it also masked steely determination. Liggett's tenacity won Pershing's attention and admiration, and he went on to direct and win what was at the time the largest single battle in American history. In Hunter Liggett, author Michael E. Shay shows that while Pershing may have assembled the pieces of the American Expeditionary Forces, it was Liggett who made it work. This first biography of Liggett follows the full life of a doggedly hard-working soldier whose leadership style contrasted and sometimes conflicted with the military culture of his time. Where Pershing employed a ""fear and censure"" approach to command, Liggett allowed his subordinates to grow into their jobs, all the while coaching them on the best course of action. Where Pershing was feared, Liggett enjoyed the respect—if not affection—of his men. Liggett was a modest man and a devoted student of military history at a time when many officers of his generation relied upon a combination of connections, political influence, and seniority to advance their careers.Hunter Liggett not only offers readers a much-needed biography of an almost forgotten general but also adds a new and nuanced perspective on the importance of military leadership in the era of the First World War.

Having bested an orc hold and proven they’re no mere dignitaries, the PCs are invited to the mighty orc city of Urgir to quell the raging ancestor storms and protect the invaluable aurochs herds that sustain Belkzen’s people. Yet many would exploit the ongoing chaos: orc rebels in the vertical mining city of Blisterwell, Shoanti raiders answering old vendettas, and more. The PCs must repel these attacks, turning foes into friends in Belkzen’s ongoing fight for survival. "Hoof, Cinder, and Storm” is an orc-focused Pathfinder adventure for four 6th-level characters. The adventure continues the Triumph of the Tusk Adventure Path, a three-part monthly campaign in which an eclectic band of dignitaries become battle-hardened survivalists fighting for orcs’ homeland and independence. This volume includes a collection of additional adventures in Belkzen, an overview of Shoanti culture, new magical items, and fearsome creatures that stalk the badlands!

Like many great stories, the Bible has multiple thematic threads that run from beginning to end. In this book we will follow the wonderful golden thread of God's presence: his desire and determination to be with his people. This is the foundational reality at the heart of the biblical story. Like many of the Psalms, this book poetically recalls scenes from Scripture. Along the way you will recognize echoes from previous scenes that keep the golden thread in sight. There is also a liturgical and memorable refrain that impresses the big idea into the readers' and hearers' hearts. Our prayer is that this book is read regularly in a family setting, and that it establishes categories and language for understanding the story of Scripture and its Author.
This rhyming picture-book is a parable...a short story to help engage our imaginations with what God is doing in His world. What happens when a people forget their good king and lose their way? How does the king respond? Who is he going to send to make things right again? How is he going to make sure that he'll never be forgotten?
The Story of God Our King traces the kingship of God, the royal nature of his people, and his victory over the serpentine enemy through the story of Scripture.He's a King like no other, defender and friend. Always and forever, world without end.The Story of God series is a growing collection of picture books that allow the reader and hearer to explore the whole biblical story in one sitting. Each book traces an important and foundational theological theme from Genesis to Revelation. Our hope is that Story of God series will increase biblical literacy, cultivate a biblical imagination, and kindle a life-long love for the God of the Bible.
The Story of God Our Savior worshipfully surveys God's loving acts of deliverance across the vista of the biblical story-with the Cross of Christ lifted up on the highest peak. Take your family on this journey. Ponder together the exodus, remember God's exile-ending kindness, and meditate on Jesus' triumph over sin and death By the end of this story your family will know this about God... He's abounding in love, a Savior who mends. Always and forever, world without end.

On the Subject of Human Beings: A Science Fiction Novel

"On the Subject of Human Beings" is about love, shoon, death, and spite. Sands is an alien researcher holing up on the empty Earth and finishing his dissertation on humankind-the extinct species he was studying. But the lonesome, unsympathetic xenothropologist finds himself coerced into attempting-yet again-to rescue the subjects of his paper. When Sands journeys to a time before a zombie epidemic ended human life on Earth, he discovers mysteries behind the apocalypse. With visions of a lost love before him, scents of a loose virus behind him, and memories of loose lips linked to his false hips everywhere he turns, Sands reluctantly quests to save the thesis-monkeys. This short comic novel mentions William Shakespeare by name as it wends its way to a not-too-expensive conclusion.

This volume is a critical introduction to the poetry of Irish writer Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill. Writing poetry exclusively in Irish but allowing and overseeing translations of her work into several languages, primarily English, Ní Dhomhnaill is the first Irish-language poet to gain an international following. She is also a pioneer in fostering a renewed relationship between the two languages of Ireland’s literary traditions. Ní Dhomhnaill is unflinching in her interventions into problematic social, linguistic and even theoretical arenas, and is well known for her brutal parodies, ribald sexual scenarios and persistent debunking and revising of religious, political and mythological imagery. Her primary thematic concerns demonstrate her dedication to critiquing and ultimately changing dominant discourses so that they account for the presence and contributions of women writers. This volume explores the fraught issues of translating and contextualizing Ní Dhomhnaill’s œuvre, her use and revisions of Irish myth, folklore and political and religious iconography, her re-imagining of the mother in culture and religious ideology, and the devices of death, silence and psychoanalytic discourse in her mermaid cycle and other poems. The book hails Ní Dhomhnaill, who has not hitherto received a great deal of critical attention in English, as a major figure in world literature.
"I need to check with my partner" is a common response of an employee to his manager, emphasizing the tug of war between the employee’s spouse and the workplace. The challenges in the fields of work and family have been the focus of researchers for decades. Frameworks for work–family conflict, work–family enrichment, and work–family balance have been put forth in light of the complexity of the interface. Yet the relationship between the three stakeholders managing the interface (manager, employee, and spouse), has not received the attention it deserves. Work–Family Triangle Synchronization takes a holistic look into the triangle of forces involved in the conflict: the manager, the employee, and the employee’s spouse at home. Using the therapeutic triangle relationship framework, it elaborates on the dynamic of work–family triangles and offers a structured process for designing a psychological contract among the three players. This process is termed work–family triangle synchronization (WFTS). Based on the authors’ 20 years of academic research and field experience in the organizational and family domains this book introduces a novel synchronization model, methodology, and compelling tools. Personal anecdotes and stories make the text accessible and understandable, accompanying the reader step by step in the task of developing a synchronized work–family triangle psychological contract, as both a diagnostic and a management tool.
