John Asher writes and directs this comedy spoof based on the Liam
Neeson 'Taken' franchise. Bryan Millers (Lee Tergesen) is a mall
cop who possesses many special skills. When his life is threatened
by his arch-enemy Brown Finger (Margaret Cho), Millers joins forces
with his ex-CIA mother (Joyce Bulifant) to fight back.
Alien worlds have long been a staple of science fiction. But today,
thanks to modern astronomical instrumentation and the achievements
of many enterprising observational astronomers, the existence of
planets outside our solar system--also known as exoplanets--has
moved into the realm of science fact. With planet hunters finding
ever smaller, more Earth-like worlds, our understanding of the
cosmos is forever changed, yet the question of how astronomers make
these discoveries often goes unanswered. How Do You Find an
Exoplanet? is an authoritative primer on the four key techniques
that today's planet hunters use to detect the feeble signals of
planets orbiting distant stars. John Johnson provides you with an
insider's perspective on this exciting cutting-edge science,
showing how astronomers detect the wobble of stars caused by the
gravitational tug of an orbiting planet, the slight diminution of
light caused by a planet eclipsing its star, and the bending of
space-time by stars and their planets, and how astronomers even
directly take pictures of planets next to their bright central
stars. Accessible to anyone with a basic foundation in
college-level physics, How Do You Find an Exoplanet? sheds new
light on the prospect of finding life outside our solar system, how
surprising new observations suggest that we may not fully
understand how planets form, and much more.
From bestselling author John Asher comes a breakthrough guide on
how to connect with the burnt out buyer using both new iterations
of his proven neuroscience sales techniques as well as
groundbreaking techniques to address the new business landscape.
Focusing on both internal and external variables, The Future of
Sales explores how to make a sale, grow your company, and comfort
your client in times of uncertainty and change. Using the same
scientific strategies that John Asher and his team created to break
down The Neuroscience of Selling, The Future of Sales arms readers
with techniques that are proven to once again explore the way that
buyers buy, instinctually, so you can make a sale... this time
exploring sales in times of great change, companies in crisis, and
buyers who are in new (virtual) environments.
This volume examines the social and political role of the armed
forces in the emergent countries of Latin America, Southeast Asia,
Sub-Saharan Africa, and the Middle East. The contributors include
such distinguished historians and political scientists as Belmont
Brice, James S. Coleman, and Lucian W. Pye. They offer here some
searching observations on the political structure of the new
states, on the relationship between the needs of internal order and
those of external defense, and on the curious fact that military
regimes, while they have promoted national development, social
change, and free political practices in some countries, have
hampered similar growth in others. Originally published in 1962.
The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.

In the mid-1970s, Sm'algyax, the language of the Coast Tsimshian
people, came under the protection of Canada's Urgent Ethnology
Programme, which commissioned a dictionary by linguist John Dunn.
With the help of many Tsimshian consultants, Dunn completed the
dictionary in 1978 and the first written grammar of the language in
1979. The dictionary quickly became the spelling authority for
teachers, and together with the grammar has established a standard
writing system for Sm'algyax that is in use throughout Alaska and
British Columbia. This 1995 publication, with a new preface and
revisions by John Dunn, brings these two classic works back into
print in a single volume. part I-- "A Practical Dictionary of the
Coast Tsimshian Language"--includes for each word a transcription,
morphological information, English glosses, and phonetic
transcriptions showing local variants of the entry. Part II-- "A
Reverence Grammar for the Coast Tsimshian Language"-- is a
nontechnical introduction to phonology, morphology, and syntax. It
includes summaries showing the basic sentence types and their
grammatical relationships. The new one-volume format of the
dictionary and grammar will facilitate their use by teachers,
students, and the Tsimshian community for years to come.
