"I looked around upon the world, and saw that it was shadowed by
sorrow and scorched by the fierce fires of suffering. And I looked
for the cause. I looked around, but could not find it; I looked in
books, but could not find it; I looked within, and found there both
the cause and the self-made nature of that cause. I looked again,
and deeper, and found the remedy. I found one Law, the Law of Love;
one Life, the Life of adjustment to that Law; one Truth, the truth
of a conquered mind and a quiet and obedient heart. And I dreamed
of writing a book which should help men and women, whether rich or
poor, learned or unlearned, worldly or unworldly, to find within
themselves the source of all success, all happiness, all
accomplishment, all truth. And the dream remained with me, and at
last became substantial; and now I send it forth into the world on
its mission of healing and blessedness, knowing that it cannot fail
to reach the homes and hearts of those who are waiting and ready to
receive it." - James Allen
Ferrari is the beating heart of the global sporting phenomenon that
is Formula 1. Its founder, Enzo Ferrari, was born on the racetrack
as a competition driver before he became a creator of mythical road
cars. No other team can inspire the passion or match the stories of
triumph and tragedy. Rainer Schlegelmilch and Ercole Colombo are
two of Formula 1's most legendary photographers. They covered the
sport from the 1960s onwards, with amazing access inside the
Scuderia. Here, for the first time, they come together to pay
tribute to Formula 1's most iconic team. Ferrari: From Inside and
Outside features contributions from iconic figures including Piero
Ferrari, Luca di Montezemolo, Stefano Domenicali, Jean Todt and
legendary designer Mauro Forghieri. The book is edited by
internationally celebrated Formula 1 commentator and Michael
Schumacher's biographer, James Allen.
A Washington Post Bestseller Three Principles for Managing--and
Avoiding--the Problems of Growth Why is profitable growth so hard
to achieve and sustain? Most executives manage their companies as
if the solution to that problem lies in the external environment:
find an attractive market, formulate the right strategy, win new
customers. But when Bain & Company's Chris Zook and James
Allen, authors of the bestselling Profit from the Core, researched
this question, they found that when companies fail to achieve their
growth targets, 90 percent of the time the root causes are
internal, not external--increasing distance from the front lines,
loss of accountability, proliferating processes and bureaucracy, to
name only a few. What's more, companies experience a set of
predictable internal crises, at predictable stages, as they grow.
Even for healthy companies, these crises, if not managed properly,
stifle the ability to grow further--and can actively lead to
decline. The key insight from Zook and Allen's research is that
managing these choke points requires a "founder's
mentality"--behaviors typically embodied by a bold, ambitious
founder--to restore speed, focus, and connection to customers: * An
insurgent's clear mission and purpose * An unambiguous owner
mindset * A relentless obsession with the front line Based on the
authors' decade-long study of companies in more than forty
countries, The Founder's Mentality demonstrates the strong
relationship between these three traits in companies of all
kinds--not just start-ups--and their ability to sustain
performance. Through rich analysis and inspiring examples, this
book shows how any leader--not only a founder--can instill and
leverage a founder's mentality throughout their organization and
find lasting, profitable growth.

This long-awaited revision offers a comprehensive introduction to
natural language understanding with developments and research in
the field today. Building on the effective framework of the first
edition, the new edition gives the same balanced coverage of
syntax, semantics, and discourse, and offers a uniform framework
based on feature-based context-free grammars and chart parsers used
for syntactic and semantic processing. Thorough treatment of issues
in discourse and context-dependent interpretation is also provided.
In addition, this title offers coverage of two entirely new
subject areas. First, the text features a new chapter on
statistically-based methods using large corpora. Second, it
includes an appendix on speech recognition and spoken language
understanding. Also, the information on semantics that was covered
in the first edition has been largely expanded in this edition to
include an emphasis on compositional interpretation.

The founders of the modern recovery movement, including Bill
Wilson, Bob Smith, and other early AAs, were deeply influenced by a
handful of inspirational authors, from whom they received practical
guidance, key insights, and concrete ideas. Their explorations of
inspirational literature and useable spiritual methods gave rise to
the program of spiritual self-help now practiced around the world
as the twelve-step tradition.
Now, some of the core books that both inspired and were produced
by the early twelve-steppers and recovery pioneers - including the
first edition of the 1939 landmark "Alcoholic Anonymous" - are
collected in this powerful resource, "The Recovery Bible."
Here are early writings by the visionaries of recovery. Their work
retains all of its impact and life-changing power - now at the
ready for study, immediate guidance, and a lifetime of
re-exploration in this one volume.
"The Recovery Bible" includes:
-"Alcoholics Anonymous," the original 1939 landmark
- "The Greatest Thing in the World" by Henry Drummond
-"In Tune with the Infinite "by Ralph Waldo Trine
-"The Mental Equivalent "by Emmet Fox
- "As a Man Thinketh" by James Allen
-"The 23rd and 91st Psalms"
-"Religion that Works" by the Rev. Sam Shoemaker
-"The Varieties of Religious Experience" by William James

In creating one of the first and most successful examples of the
inspirational self-help book, James Allen was motivated by his own
hard experience to show how our mental attitude has profound
control over our lives and how we experience the world. More than
that, he shows how, in mastering how we think, we can master our
place in the world. As a Man Thinketh first appeared in 1903 and
draws its title from the Bible (Prov. 23: 7) "As a man thinketh in
his heart, so is he." Written to be accessible to all, the author
persuasively describes how readers need to take responsibility for
their thoughts as well as their actions, and that how a person
thinks literally shapes their life path. In improving our thoughts,
we can improve our lives. With an eye-catching new cover, and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of As a Man
Thinketh is both modern and readable.
This little volume (the result of meditation and experience) is not
intended as an exhaustive treatise on the much written upon subject
of the power of thought. It is suggestiive rather athan
explanatory, its object being to stimulate men and women to the
discovery and perception of the truth that...'they themselves are
makers of themselves' by virtue of the thoughts which they choose
and encourage; that mind is the master weaver, both of the inner
garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance, and
that, as they may have hitherto woven in ignorance and pain they
may now weave in enlightenment and happiness.
In As A Man Thinketh, New Thought teacher James Allen reveals the
fundamental truth of human nature: "A man is literally what he
thinks." Allen's deceptively simple principle has changed the lives
of millions of readers, making As A Man Thinketh a classic
bestseller for decades. In addition to the original text of As A
Man Thinketh, this edition also includes Allen's deeply thoughtful
work From Poverty to Power. Allen explains that our character,
identity, ability, and success are all determined by the thoughts
in our minds. Instead of finding ourselves victims of the world,
each of us has the ability to shape and define our own destinies.
Finances, health, social status, and success are all external
manifestations of the thoughts that populate our minds. Allen
offers his readers an opportunity to seize control of their minds
and create the lives they've always imagined.
