Fun for all ages and makes a great gift! The puzzles in this book will captivate you for hours. Unlike other puzzles, Word Maze puzzles carry meaning that is important to you. This book features Benjamin Franklin's sage advice, originally appearing in Poor Richard's Almanack. As one reader put it, "The puzzles are a lot more challenging than normal word search puzzles, and they draw you in. They're a lot of fun." A Word Maze puzzle is like a word search. There is a grid of letters and you need to find words. The letters can go left, right, up, or down, but not diagonally. However, a Word Maze puzzle is different because you need to find an entire saying. Sometimes it is easy to find the saying, but other times it can take a long time to find the right path through the maze of letters. - Fantastic fun for all ages! - Makes a great gift! - Have hours of fun with 102 puzzles. - Tackle both easy and hard puzzles. - Relax while figuring out the puzzles. - Be inspired by Franklin's insight. - Solve the puzzles to know the quotes. With patience, you can find meaning in the chaos.

These poems and short stories will cause you to think in the moment and stick with you long after the first reading.

Imposing Fictions aims to ameliorate the growing problem of what Martin Heidegger refers to as psychological and cultural "homelessness" by diagnosing the nature of the latter's current manifestations and offering readings of literature that seek to inspire the genuine, and genuinely subversive, alterity required by an authentic mode of being. Specifically, it advocates for the value of subversive literature and its capacity to impose itself on the multitude of cultural and psychological preconceptions that govern the generalized but deeply personal, contemporary self. Subversiveness in this context implies pushing against the grain of identity formation as commonly dictated by the hegemony of technology. It does so both stylistically and thematically by foregrounding the imperative of figurative death in the service of authenticity. With the theoretical frameworks of Martin Heidegger and Alain Badiou as central guideposts, literary texts ranging from genre horror to American and French fiction are examined for their contributions to the legitimization of a metaphoric death drive and a concomitant, ameliorative quality of being that ultimately assumes the form of what some philosophers and fiction writers alike call love.

How does the U.S. Coast Guard create, instill, and maintain leadership throughout a 40,000 member force spread across the United States? A former Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard and a best-selling author combine their knowledge of the subject to offer a formula for success. Donald T. Phillips, who has written eight books on leadership, asserts that the Coast Guard is a superlative example of an organization with effective leadership, loaded with leaders at all levels. From a guardsman scraping barnades off buoys in the Gulf of Mexico to the captain of a cutter in the Gulf of Alaska to the Commandant in Washington, they know exactly what leadership is, how it works, and why it is important. This case study in leadership uses the Coast Guard as an example for other organizations who want to imbue leadership to every single one of its members. An effective leadership beacon, the book is replete with tangible examples, vivid anecdotes, and explicit guidelines on how to instill leadership throughout an entire organization. Stories abound on Coast Guard efficiency, innovation, and heroism and many are used to illustrate the service's effectiveness and to engage the reader. From the military and government communities to the business world, a variety of organizations can benefit from this outstanding leadership guide.

The light is very much alone in this inaugural collection that locates maleficence of various shades firmly in the dark. Witchery seeks justice. A school is home to diabolism. Heat worship is cultural death and a political gathering is unfailingly nefarious. The devil, in all his vile and glorious modernity, arrives. Light is finally the beacon signalling only dread.
