About the BookThis book "From the Bottom to The Top," presents a
challenging educational thought to the mind for all readers. Being
able to read this book at first hand and seeing the parent and
child (Larry) relationship can be very challenging, though
interesting and educational. In fact, it is simply a sensible
recognition that, for a limited period, we need to put in some
extra quality time and effort in consolidating all our moral and
natural resources to achieve a worthy goal, starting at the bottom
and finishing at the top line.What might parents do to help ease
the tension between them and their children? How can they motivate
their children to be more successful and get to the top? How about
your self-esteem? How can you empower yourself to be your best? How
can you prevent them from getting underneath your skin? To these
and other questions, Part I of this book offers a practical, "what
to do with Larry story," hands-on approach.Part I of this book
concludes brilliantly and impressively, leaving me in a state of
insatiable yearning for the continuation of the rest of the book,
to find out how Larry got to the top from the bottom. I just cannot
wait to read the ensuing parts of this book "From the Bottom to the
Top." By Mr. Peter Cole
Throughout this book individuals will learn how to be vigilant, how
not to get hurt, how not to be betrayed or defied.
For it is said, that the ones that hurt you are those that are
close to you, perhaps they are envious of you for some reason or
another. It is frustrating and disappointing to find that those
individuals are acting in this etiquette. Remember too that there
are so many people out there who love and cherish us. I believe
that everyone is responsible for optimising their God given gifts
at his/her disposal. Work with your talents, skills, and achieve
your goals with determination which will lead you to your chosen
path in life. We often judge a book by its cover.
Who are we to judge the lives others chose to live?
I have placed my trust and faith in God and have tried to lead a
good life as best as I can
Nobody is perfect, even our fingers are not all the same and we
can't live to be perfect. Always remember before you start pointing
fingers make sure your hands are clean
Some food for thought when it comes to establishing and building
positive relationships -relationships are built on three factors:
Faith, Hope and Love. On the contrary Love is the greatest of all

Poems of love and battle by Arabia’s legendary warrior From the
sixth-century highlands of Najd in the Arabian peninsula, on the
eve of the advent of Islam, come the strident cries of a legendary
warrior and poet. The black outcast son of an Arab father and an
Ethiopian slave mother, 'Antarah ibn Shaddad struggled to win the
recognition of his father and tribe. He defied social norms and,
despite his outcast status, loyally defended his people. 'Antarah
captured his tumultuous life in uncompromising poetry that combines
flashes of tenderness with blood-curdling violence. His war songs
are testaments to his life-long battle to win the recognition of
his people and the hand of 'Ablah, the free-born woman he loved but
who was denied him by her family. War Songs presents the poetry
attributed to 'Antarah and includes a selection of poems taken from
the later Epic of 'Antar, a popular story-cycle that continues to
captivate and charm Arab audiences to this day with tales of its
hero’s titanic feats of strength and endurance. 'Antarah’s
voice resonates here, for the first time in vibrant, contemporary
English, intoning its eternal truths: commitment to one’s
beliefs, loyalty to kith and kin, and fidelity in love. An
English-only edition.

The Industrial Workers of the World is a union unlike any other.
Founded in 1905 in Chicago, it rapidly gained members across the
world thanks to its revolutionary, internationalist outlook. By
using powerful organising methods including direct-action and
direct-democracy, it put power in the hands of workers. This
philosophy is labeled as 'revolutionary industrial unionism' and
the members called, affectionately, 'Wobblies'. This book is the
first to look at the history of the IWW from an international
perspective. Bringing together a group of leading scholars, it
includes lively accounts from a number diverse countries including
Australia, Canada, Mexico, South Africa, Sweden and Ireland, which
reveal a fascinating story of global anarchism, syndicalism and
socialism. Drawing on many important figures of the movements such
as Tom Barker, Har Dayal, Joe Hill, James Larkin and William D.
"Big Bill" Haywood, and exploring particular industries including
shipping, mining, and agriculture, this book describes how the IWW
and its ideals travelled around the world.

Its sheer functionality, connectivity and accessibility make the
Internet an information force to be reckoned with. However, there
is very little qualitative data on how the Internet is impacting
upon information-seeking in the workplace. The Media and the
Internet is a crucial piece of research into how journalists and
other media workers are actually using this new resource. Using
largely unstructured interviewing techniques, more than three
hundred journalists and media librarians were surveyed. The
findings are highly relevant to all those working in
information-intensive sectors. Contents: Project information;
Abstract; Introduction; Methods; Literature review; Size and growth
of the Internet; Patterns of use and user characteristics; The

Cosmology has undergone a revolution in recent years. The exciting
interplay between astronomy and fundamental physics has led to
dramatic revelations, including the existence of the dark matter
and the dark energy that appear to dominate our cosmos. But these
discoveries only reveal themselves through small effects in noisy
experimental data. Dealing with such observations requires the
careful application of probability and statistics.
But it is not only in the arcane world of fundamental physics that
probability theory plays such an important role. It has an impact
in many aspects of our everyday life, from the law courts to the
lottery.
Why then do so few people understand probability? And why do so
few people understand why it is so important for science? Why do so
many people think that science is about absolute certainty when, at
its core, it is actually dominated by uncertainty?
This book attempts to explain the basics of probability theory,
and illustrate their application across the entire spectrum of
science.
This book offers a novel, incisive and wide- ranging account of
Libya's '17 February Revolution' by tracing how critical towns,
communities and political groups helped to shape its course. Each
community, whether geographical (e.g. Misrata, Zintan),
tribal/communal (e.g. Beni Walid) or political (e.g. the Muslim
Brotherhood) took its own path into the uprisings and subsequent
conflict of 2011, according to their own histories and relationship
to Muammar Qadhafi's regime. The story of each group is told by the
authors, based on reportage and expert analysis, from the outbreak
of protests in Benghazi in February 2011 through to the
transitional period following the end of fighting in October 2011.
They describe the emergence of Libya's new politics through the
unique stories of those who made it happen, or those who fought
against it. The Libyan Revolution and its Aftermath brings together
leading journalists, academics, and specialists, each with
extensive field experience amidst the constituencies they depict,
drawing on interviews with fighters, politicians and civil society
leaders who have contributed their own account of events to this
volume.
Taha Muhammad Ali (1931-2011) was a much celebrated Palestinian
poet whose work is driven by a storyteller's vivid imagination,
disarming humour and unflinching honesty. Born in rural Galilee,
Muhammad Ali was left without a home when his village was destroyed
during the Arab-Israeli war of 1948. Out of this history of shared
loss and survival, he created art of the first order. His poems
portray experiences ranging from catastrophe to splendour, all the
while preserving an essential human dignity. Poetry Book Society

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference
proceedings of the Second International ICST on Auctions, Market
Mechanisms and Their Applications (AMMA 2011) held in New York,
USA, August 22-23, 2011. The 22 revised full papers presented were
carefully selected from numerous submissions covering topics such
as school choice, markets for housing, energy, and advertising,
prediction markets, and the theory of market design.
The first major poet of the Hebrew literary renaissance of
Moslem Spain, Shmuel Ben Yosef Ha-Levi HaNagid (993-1056 c.e.) was
also the Prime Minister of the Muslim state of Granada, battlefield
commander of the non-Jewish Granadan army, and one of the leading
religious figures in a medieval Jewish world that stretched from
Andalusia to Baghdad. Peter Cole's groundbreaking versions of
HaNagid's poems capture the poet's combination of secular and
religious passion, as well as his inspired linking of Hebrew and
Arabic poetic practice. This annotated "Selected Poems" is the most
comprehensive collection of HaNagid's work published to date in
English.
"The Multiple Troubles of Man"
The multiple troubles of man,
my brother, like slander and pain,
amaze you? Consider the heart
which holds them all
in strangeness, and doesn't break.
"I'd Suck Bitter Poison from the Viper's Mouth"
I'd suck bitter poison from the viper's mouth
and live by the basilisk's hole forever,
rather than suffer through evenings with boors,
fighting for crumbs from their table.
Hebrew culture experienced a renewal in medieval Spain that
produced what is arguably the most powerful body of Jewish poetry
written since the Bible. Fusing elements of East and West, Arabic
and Hebrew, and the particular and the universal, this verse
embodies an extraordinary sensuality and intense faith that
transcend the limits of language, place, and time.
Peter Cole's translations reveal this remarkable poetic world to
English readers in all of its richness, humor, grace, gravity, and
wisdom. "The Dream of the Poem" traces the arc of the entire
period, presenting some four hundred poems by fifty-four poets, and
including a panoramic historical introduction, short biographies of
each poet, and extensive notes. (The original Hebrew texts are
available on the Princeton University Press Web site.) By far the
most potent and comprehensive gathering of medieval Hebrew poems
ever assembled in English, Cole's anthology builds on what poet and
translator Richard Howard has described as "the finest labor of
poetic translation that I have seen in many years" and "an entire
revelation: a body of lyric and didactic verse so intense, so
intelligent, and so vivid that it appears to identify a whole
dimension of historical consciousness previously unavailable to
us." "The Dream of the Poem" is, Howard says, "a crowning
achievement."
