American History is replete with rags-to-riches tales, but it is hard to think of one that compares with that of Ulysses S. Grant. In the spring of 1861, Grant was a modest clerk in his father''s leather goods store. Within three years, he would become commander of all armies of the United States and go on to win the Civil War. Within eight, he would be elected president. His remarkable story is truly an inspiration to leaders from all walks of life. "Fascinating, Grant''s wisdom and courage are finally depicted as a model for the ages." -- Robert Novak, syndicated columnist In "Ulysses S. Grant on Leadership, John Barnes reveals the leadership secrets of the man to whom Abraham Lincoln entrusted the very survival of the Union. You will meet a man of extraordinary personal courage who overcame failures early in life that would have crushed lesser men. You will discover how this tenacious general inspired a dispirited army to achieve victory on the battlefield. Most important, you will learn how to apply to your own life the characteristics that elevated Grant from obscurity to greatness. Ulysses S. Grant was a common man with uncommon leadership abilities. He succeeded brilliantly where others had failed. Guided by his magnificent example, so can you.

When a loved one rips your heart from your chest, and you are left with a broken heart and a shattered relationship, how do you respond? Do you walk away and write them off, or do you do everything you can to restore the relationship that once existed? When God created us, He created us for relationshipsfirst toward Himself then to each other. Any broken relationship is not in Gods plan for us, especially a relationship with a child. A shattered relationship with a child can be restored, and a broken heart can be mended. This is a true story covering every step walked on the road to victory and tells of: turning hate and anger into unconditional love; finding and giving true and lasting forgiveness; searching for the real reason for the shattered relationship; inspection, retrospection, and introspection; repairing the damage; putting it all behind you; moving on as if the relationship was never shattered; and God reclaiming His glory.

''I also know that I appear to the world as one who has built a ship atop a high mountain, thousands of miles distant from the ocean; but the waters will rise, and my ship will float and sail.'' -- GoetheIn fresh and spirited prose, John Barnes offers a captivating introduction to the life of Goethe as an inspiration for our times. He traces a powerful 18.6-year rhythm in Goethe''s biography, showing how his creative genius unfolded through repeated periods of crises and renewal. The fact that this rhythm corresponds exactly with cyclical movements of the earth and moon suggests a strong connection between the life of Goethe and the pulsing life of nature.Goethe considered his participatory approach to nature to be his finest achievement in life, a contribution only now beginning to be appreciated as scientifically significant. Barnes focuses on Goethe''s development as a scientist, in the end applying Goethe''s own scientific method to his unfolding biography. In doing so, a remarkable archetypal lawfulness is revealed.Goethe''s life and work inspire us to deepen our own connection to nature and to the pulsing rhythms of our lives. In light of the crises we face today, Goethe appears more than ever as a forerunner of a possible healing culture of the 21st century.

"The sections in the book are organized by diseases, which are grouped by etiology. Each section consists of text and pictures of gross lesions. The majority of pictures were taken in situ to show how the lesions appear at necropsy. Although gross lesions are emphasized, etiology, clinical signs and, if applicable, pathogenesis of the disease process and transmission of infectious agent are included. More than 1,200 high-quality figures show the gross pathology of over 120 avian diseases. The overwhelming majority of pictures come from diagnostic cases that the authors have seen during their careers as avian pathologists. Several figures are included for some diseases to show gross lesions in organs and tissues that vary in distribution, extent and severity"--Publisher''s description.

Komatiites erupted billions of years ago as pulsating streams of white-hot lava. Their unusual chemical compositions and exceptionally high formation temperatures produced highly fluid lava that crystallized as spectacular layered flows. Investigation of the extreme conditions in which komatiites formed provides important evidence about the thermal and chemical evolution of the planet, and the nature of the Precambrian mantle. This monograph, written by three experts with long experience in the field, presents a complete account of the characteristics of komatiites including their volcanic structures, textures, mineralogy and chemical compositions. Models for their formation and eruption are evaluated (including the anhydrous vs. hydrous magmas controversy). A chapter is also devoted to the valuable nickel and copper ore deposits found in komatiites. Komatiite is a key reference for researchers and advanced students interested in petrology, Archaean geology, economic geology, and broader questions about the evolution of the Earth''s crust and mantle.
