The Greaves family is the pillar of Germantown, a small South
Carolina community that nestles in the folds of the Appalachian
Mountains. Richard and Clara Greaves live in a stone manor paid for
by the bank Richard founded three decades ago. Their oldest son,
Jack, is the high school athletic director, their daughter, Emily,
the county solicitor. Their youngest son, Tom, is a former champion
on American Ninja. Their lives appear charmed, at least until the
October weekend when they begin to unravel, quickly and publicly.
In the wake of shady business transactions, a floundering marriage,
and Tom's new Leonard Cohen tattoo-- the Greaves are so harried no
one seems to have realized the family matriarch has suffered a
stroke. Into this chaos comes Nayma, a young Mexican-American woman
in a very white town, lonely Elvis, war veteran and high school
groundskeeper, and Dr. Elias Agnew, a high school teacher existing
behind a facade of dissimulation-- all of whom challenge
traditional notions of what it means to be southern, and what it
means to be accepted, particularly when the old ways begin to
crumble.
A car breaks down on a snowy road in rural Iowa, a passerby
offers a ride, and a friendship is formed that will launch one man
on the path to political greatness while unwittingly driving the
other into the national spotlight and pushing his family to the
brink of disintegration.
With this chance meeting, fate intertwines the lives of Glenn
Tupper, a small engine repairman who lives a quiet life in tiny
Creston, Iowa, with Senator Phil Granby, a presidential candidate
whose campaign is a spectacular flop. When Granby departs from his
prepackaged message and starts using Tupper's practical sayings,
his political fortunes make a dramatic turnaround. But Tupper finds
that even unsought fame comes at a painfully high price when a
sinister force exposes a dark family secret that he did not know.
Now it is up to Jarma Jordan, a quirky young blogger, to discover
the hidden answers that could save Granby's campaign and rescue
Tupper's family from ruin. But will her efforts be too little, too
late?
In this intriguing tale, the chain of events builds to the eve
of New Hampshire's presidential primary with a candidacy -and one
man's future- hanging in the balance.
With writing that is both devastating and tender, Mark Powell (The
Sheltering) brings his acclaimed eye to an American marriage on the
verge of rupture, spinning an all-too-current tale of the world we
live in and the world we fear--and how we may not be able to tell
the two apart--perfect for fans of Adam Johnson's Fortune Smiles
and Denis Johnson's The Laughing Monsters.Tess Maynard is coming
apart. At home with her three young children in her husband's
Georgia hometown, people keep asking if she's depressed, if she and
John are okay. Secretly, she's becoming obsessed with the war on
terror--an ISIS beheading video in particular. Something about the
victim's captivity on the computer screen resonates with her.
Something inside of her demands endless prayers for a world gone
mad. The carefully constructed life of her husband is likewise
beginning to unravel. Now a college counselor, John's former life
bears persistently into the present. Once a contractor at a CIA
black site that interrogated suspected terrorists--and one innocent
civilian--he is given a choice by the Justice Department: either
help with a problem in the homeland, or they investigate. Forced by
an old colleague to spy on a new one, John's experiences abroad
come home to roost in Georgia. For his wife, for his family, he
goes along with the game. But just as he and Tess work to salvage
their life together, the world comes between them in the form of a
young man slowly being radicalized by the professor John is
reporting on. In a moment Tess imagined and never wanted to see,
the intersection of their three lives is as devastating as the
bomber's explosion of hate and metal, and as inevitable as the
battle between powers great and personal.
Winner of the 2013 Book Award of Excellence, The Foundation for
Pentecostal Scholarship What is the meaning of the Holy Spirit's
activity in Luke-Acts, and what are its implications for today?
Roger Stronstad offers a cogent and thought-provoking study of Luke
as a charismatic theologian whose understanding of the Spirit was
shaped wholly by his understanding of Jesus and the nature of the
early church. Stronstad locates Luke's pneumatology in the
historical background of Judaism and views Luke as an independent
theologian who makes a unique contribution to the pneumatology of
the New Testament. This work challenges traditional Protestants to
reexamine the impact of Pentecost and explores the Spirit's role in
equipping God's people for the unfinished task of mission. The
second edition has been revised and updated throughout and includes
a new foreword by Mark Allan Powell.
Describes the causes of stress, how to recognize and deal with them, and how to alleviate the stress itself by using such methods as breathing exercises, meditation, and creative visualization.
Today's teens are dealing with adult issues and problems that
previous generations did not encounter. With little power to
control or to affect outcomes, many teens feel overwhelmed, making
stress and stress-related problems widespread among today's young
people. Stress Relief: The Ultimate Teen Guide makes eliminating
stress an art form. Written in a style that appeals to a teen
audience, this accessible volume is not about managing stress, but
rather about preventing and avoiding it--and eliminating the
feelings it causes.
This book unravels the many different experiences, meanings and
realities of natural burial. Twenty years after the first natural
burial ground opened there is an opportunity to reflect on how a
concept for a very different approach to caring for our dead has
become a reality: new providers, new landscapes and a hybrid of new
and traditional rituals. In this short time the natural burial
movement has flourished. In the UK there are more than 200 sites,
and the concept has travelled to North America, Holland, Australia,
New Zealand and Japan. This survey of natural burials draws on
interviews with those involved in the natural burial process -
including burial ground managers, celebrants, priests, bereaved
family, funeral directors - providing a variety of viewpoints on
the concept as a philosophy and landscape practice. Site surveys,
design plans and case studies illustrate the challenges involved in
creating a natural burial site, and a key longitudinal case study
of a single site investigates the evolving nature of the practice.
Natural Burial is the first book on this subject to bring together
all the groups and individuals involved in the practice, explaining
the facts behind this type of burial and exploring a topic which is
attracting significant media interest and an upsurge of sites
internationally.

During the last few years technical diving has become much more
popular and has moved into mainstream diving. As a result a
significant number of recreational divers are moving towards
technical diving. Despite this, there are still many misconceptions
about what technical diving actually means and what is involved.
Introduction to Technical Diving - An Introduction by Mark Powell
gives a straightforward overview of technical diving and dispels
many of the myths surrounding this area. It explores what is meant
by technical diving, what is involved, the risks that arise and how
you can move towards this type of diving. Section one describes
technical diving in general and illustrates some of the differences
between technical and recreational diving as well as explaining
some of the things that recreational divers can learn from
technical divers. Section two explains some of the ideas behind
this form of diving. It defines exactly what we mean by technical
diving as well as why it has become so popular. This section then
explains how to make a start in technical diving and the type of
divers who tend to get into technical diving. For these divers the
second section then goes on to explain what to expect from a
technical diving course. Finally this section discusses how
accident analysis has been used to shape some of the concepts in
technical diving as well as some of the mental aspects of this type
of diving. The third section then goes on give an overview of
technical diving equipment and explains why this is different to
the equipment used in recreational diving. There are many different
opinions about technical diving equipment and this section of the
book lays out the advantages and disadvantages of the various
options so that divers can make an informed decision about their
equipment choices. Topics such as twinset configuration, Hogarthian
gear configuration and choice of stage cylinders are all covered
for the open circuit diver. The fourth section covers the various
skills required for technical diving are discussed in detail
including buoyancy control, trim, tram diving, problem shutdown and
valve shutdowns. Section five covers the issues involved in
rebreather diving and the various choices available to divers
looking to switch to a rebreather. Section six discusses the
various aspects of technical dive planning including decompression
planning, dealing with narcosis, avoiding oxygen toxicity and gas
planning. Finally this section covers some of the various aspects
of planning for specific situations such as wreck, cave penetration
and mixed gas expedition diving. The book is aimed at anyone who
wants to know more about technical diving. Whether you are looking
to take a technical diving course, are looking to improve your
skills, or simply want to find out more about what's involved then
this book will provide a comprehensive overview. Even those divers
who are not tempted to venture into this area of the sport can
benefit from this book as it also discusses what lessons can be
learnt from technical diving in order to improve normal
recreational diving.

The connected world offers the potential for radical new business
insights gleaned from previously unimaginable volumes of data. But
business has got bogged down in the process of collecting and
storing that data; money has been wasted on data lakes in which
many IT departments have drowned without being able to deliver
useful insights to business leaders. Big data has new and exciting
answers to offer, but business leaders must first decide what
questions it would like to see answered. Data may be the new oil,
but to date we have only built oil depots. This book analyses the
new, Fourth Wave of business transformation, which will build the
refineries that turn data into useful products. Business has
started from 'data up' and needs to start again from 'value down',
going back to the drivers of real business value and deciding what
insights would help realize that value. Only then can we begin to
interrogate data with purpose.

Based on Fields medal winning work of Michael Freedman, this book
explores the disc embedding theorem for 4-dimensional manifolds.
This theorem underpins virtually all our understanding of
topological 4-manifolds. Most famously, this includes the
4-dimensional Poincare conjecture in the topological category. The
Disc Embedding Theorem contains the first thorough and approachable
exposition of Freedman's proof of the disc embedding theorem, with
many new details. A self-contained account of decomposition space
theory, a beautiful but outmoded branch of topology that produces
non-differentiable homeomorphisms between manifolds, is provided,
as well as a stand-alone interlude that explains the disc embedding
theorem's key role in all known homeomorphism classifications of
4-manifolds via surgery theory and the s-cobordism theorem.
Additionally, the ramifications of the disc embedding theorem
within the study of topological 4-manifolds, for example Frank
Quinn's development of fundamental tools like transversality are
broadly described. The book is written for mathematicians, within
the subfield of topology, specifically interested in the study of
4-dimensional spaces, and includes numerous professionally rendered
figures.
This book provides a practical approach to the anesthetic
management of surgical and nonsurgical procedures across the
spectrum of anesthesia sub-specialties. This book will assist the
practitioner to plan their anesthetic from preoperative evaluation
phase to complete recovery or transfer to another special care
area. The emphasis is on both the planned technique and more
importantly the logic or reasoning behind the suggested technique.
This book addresses all important procedures in anesthesiology,
including preoperative evaluation, airway management, and fluid
administration. Every chapter discusses a specific surgery or
procedure. Some topics of special interest are also included.
Anesthesiology: A Practical Approach is aimed at anesthesia
residents, anesthesia nurse practitioners, and experienced
anesthesiologists called upon to work in any area or anesthetizing
location.
This book explores and demonstrates the transformative learning
experiences that organizations and their leaders can derive from
the arts. It is through the arts that we have always explored our
humanity: through dance and music; art and sculpture; theatre and
poetry. The arts allow us to explore our own selves and our
relationship to others and to the world around us. This central
role of the arts is commonly accepted in everyday life, but the
implications of this are not typically extended to the world of
business. The authors argues strongly that, to the contrary, the
methodologies and approaches that are fundamental to performing
artists of all kinds can provide exactly the kind of inspirational,
people-centred and performance-related techniques that are missing
from much of the typically mechanistic, systems-based and
process-driven training and development of managers and executives.
Technical proficiency and expertise are not enough to deliver an
award-winning result; what enables a truly outstanding performance
is the elusive but entirely recognizable element of artistry - the
spark that transforms a technically good performance into something
extraordinary.
