Amazon #1 Bestseller Learn how the NEW Entrepreneurs of the 21st century thrive and succeed.Underneath our feet, the ground shifted.Technology changed, the way people behave changed, the world changed.With networks, platforms, crowds, movements, sharing economies, and uncertain business models - all bets are off.Innovation, business, marketing and management are being re-defined.Yet, the old techniques are still being taught and used. You are being set up to fail.The past and the outdated rules are holding you back.And the more experienced you are, the more you will struggle.Master the new rules of modern entrepreneurship.The Age of Metapreneurship is about the future of entrepreneurship, and about a new kind of entrepreneur.The Age of Metapreneurship takes a step back - providing a 10,000-foot view so you can see patterns, avoid minefields, and understand the new terrain.Reading this book will give you new ideas, new strategies for being successful, and help remove some of the frustrations that come from using knowledge and techniques from the past.Reinvent yourself in the form of a modern entrepreneur: A Metapreneur.Inside we'll explore: Chaos - How entrepreneurship is so broadly defined today that we have no idea anymore who is and isn't.Cults - How the institutions, programs, and leaders designed to help entrepreneurs, are failing them.Dots - Entire industries are ripe for disruption (by entrepreneurs) because the old business models are disintegrating.Direct, straight lines, are being replaced by 'connecting the dots.'Abundance vs Scarcity - and how 'every abundance creates a new scarcity' is the new business mantra.Scale - is now a required strategy for every startup - otherwise you risk irrelevance: but scaling now can be far, wide, or deep.Crowds change everything - crowdsourcing, crowdfunding and collective intelligence.Sharing - is not just a fad - it's the new economy.Movements - the waves of the network: Join them, start them, leverage them - or risk being left out.All of these trends converge and change us - from customers, employees to vendors and companies - and this leads to a new kind of leadership, and a new style of entrepreneurship: Metapreneurship.This book is a not checklist on 'how to become an entrepreneur," nor is it a manual on 'how to launch a company.' The Age of Metapreneurship contains raw materials, ideas, paradigms, and ammunition so that savvy entrepreneurs and advisors can create unique strategies, and avoid using old ones.If you've been advising new ventures and guiding them through a bootcamp-like experience - only to see them sputter, and fade away, this book is for you.If you see entrepreneurship in your region brimming, brewing, and percolating -but never seeming to gain critical mass, this book is for you.If you're a highly experienced entrepreneur embarking on a new venture, this book is for you.The Age of Metapreneurship is like a collection of pieces to an unusual puzzle: Every time you put the pieces together, they form a different picture that is only for you.Success is no longer about being a rock star; it's about playing jazz in an ensemble.You are no longer an entrepreneur; you're a Metapreneur - playing in The Age of Metapreneurship.

Embedding memories into landscape. Measuring moisture, pressure and wind speed within a bedroom. Drawing power with a potato. These are but a few of the preoccupations described within this book. ‘Devices’ is a manual celebrating the invention of architectural and spatial machines. Nostalgic, metaphorical, analytical or even the down-right daft, each of the illustrated pieces demonstrates the potential for spatial occupation, leading to new territories in architectural design. A detailed analysis of each device and a ‘recipe’ for its construction is provided, including working drawings, assembly diagrams, materials and component descriptions. The reader will not only gain an insight into the technical makeup of the devices, but will have all the information at their fingertips to design and construct ground-breaking innovations of their own. With over 40 devices, this book will inspire architects, designers, engineers and artists alike.

Histories of the German Dominican order have long presented a grand narrative of its origin, fall, and renewal: a Golden Age at the order's founding in the thirteenth century, a decline of Dominican learning and spirituality in the fourteenth, and a vibrant renewal of monastic devotion by Dominican "Observants" in the fifteenth. Dominican nuns are presumed to have moved through a parallel arc, losing their high level of literacy in Latin over the course of the fourteenth century. However, unlike the male Dominican friars, the nuns are thought never to have regained their Latinity, instead channeling their spiritual renewal into mystical experiences and vernacular devotional literature. In Ruling the Spirit, CJ Jones revises this conventional narrative by arguing for a continuous history of the nuns' liturgical piety. Dominican women did not lose their piety and literacy in the fifteenth century, as is commonly believed, but instead were urged to reframe their devotion around the observance of the Divine Office. Jones grounds her research in the fifteenth-century liturgical library of St. Katherine's in Nuremberg, which was reformed to Observance in 1428 and grew to be one of the most significant convents in Germany, not least for its library. Many of the manuscripts owned by the convent are didactic texts, written by friars for Dominican sisters from the fourteenth through the fifteenth century. With remarkable continuity across genres and centuries, this literature urges the Dominican nuns to resume enclosure in their convents and the strict observance of the Divine Office, and posits ecstatic experience as an incentive for such devotion. Jones thus rereads the "sisterbooks," vernacular narratives of Dominican women, long interpreted as evidence of mystical hysteria, as encouragement for nuns to maintain obedience to liturgical practice. She concludes that Observant friars viewed the Divine Office as the means by which Observant women would define their communities, reform the terms of Observant devotion, and carry the order into the future.

Ancient Chinese Armies 1500–200 BC

By the 15th century BC the valley of Hwang Ho was dominated by a palace-based military caste which owed its supremacy to a monopoly of bronze-working techniques among a still mainly Stone Age population. To the Shang Dynasty, war was a means of legitimising the power of their new aristocracy. This fascinating volume by C. J. Peers covers the period of China's history from the first documented civilisation to the establishment of an enduring unified empire, examining the history, organisation, uniform and weapons of ancient Chinese armies.
The Extremists

The Extremists

Broadway Play Publishing Inc

pokkari
Spin or fact? Theater or reality? A biting, original political satire that challenges audiences of any political affiliation, THE EXTREMISTS is a labyrinth of wordplay and mind games in which a television talk-show host and his guest, author of a book about terrorism, get lost in their own doublespeak ... or are they really double-agents, subversively reprogramming our sound-byte-saturated minds? "It's Samuel Beckett meets Larry King in this new play by CJ Hopkins. When an expert on terrorism appears on a T V talk show, the conversation becomes a perverse satirical rant on the increasing alienation of the individual in the modern world ... A dark satire that playfully mocks the essential absurdity of the talking-head culture ... taking on big issues like the loss of individualism and the looming apocalypse ... smartly written ..." -Atlanta Journal Constitution "The audience never tunes out while watching THE EXTREMISTS ... At first we sit back and laugh at the doublespeak as CJ Hopkins's media satire takes potshots at some easy targets. By the end, we find ourselves squirming as if we're the ones in the hot seat, mentally justifying our own choices and behaviors ... After a stealthy first half, the production confronts the viewers like it's a merciless Jon Stewart and we're a hapless Jim Cramer ... The play doesn't just target conservatives, but implies that the entire political process is a corrupt means for national and global dominance." -Creative Loafing (Atlanta) "The word 'insane' is one of the most frequently heard words on the stage ... It describes the evening very well ... THE EXTREMISTS begins as harmless media satire, a conversation in which the host and the invited expert toss empty phrases back and forth ... Hopkins builds a construct of ideas out of their rhetoric, until everything revolves around one thing: What is the truth for the good guys, and what is it for the bad guys? ... What is the reality? ... Intellectual theater in the truest sense." -Der Tagesspiegel (Berlin) "A gripping satire, which spills into sinister weirdness." -Die Tageszeitung (Berlin)

Sparrow House Collective

The Margo Chronicles is a playful romp through the first year of retirement for Margo and Michael, suburbanites who have unwittingly dropped themselves into a tiny, rural community in British Columbia. Their dream of escaping the city to pursue a simpler way of life in the country meets the reality of living in Wannatoka Springs, a remote community in the Kootenays.CJ has created a delightfully quirky cast of characters seen through the eyes of Margo, a newly retired teacher who finds her identity and her assumptions about retirement challenged at every turn. Tales of unlikely interactions with neighbours and unforeseen predicaments keep the reader chuckling at how this conventional couple handles the curve balls that come their way. Wannatoka Springs is a fictitious village in the Kootenays, but bears a distinct resemblance to the tiny, rural community in the Kootenays where the author and her partner retired. The adventures are based on the author's embellishments of (nearly) true-life experiences.
