Extraordinary leaders share a passionate commitment to achieving
their vision that borders and sometimes crosses the line into
obsession. All In shows why obsession, if properly focused and
managed, is both necessary and productive. Advances in any endeavor
almost always depend on a small group of individuals who are
completely consumed by the goal they're pursuing. When these
leaders and teams are successful, everyone benefits from their
obsessive nature. This book?explores the three obsessions
underlying the achievements of the greatest leaders: delighting
customers, building great products, and creating an enduring
company. Author Robert Bruce Shaw takes you inside the success
stories of iconic leaders and shows the upside of obsession plus
the practices that support it, including Jeff Bezos of Amazon, Elon
Musk of Tesla, and Steve Jobs of Apple. In All In, Shaw teaches you
why: Amazon's first principle is customer obsession and the
behaviors that sustain it as the firm becomes one of the largest in
the world. Tesla puts products at the center of everything it does
and the leadership approach that created a revolutionary electric
car. Steve Jobs' greatest creation was not the Mac or iPhone but
Apple the company. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ???? Shaw also provides insight
into the dark side of obsession and its destructive potential - as
vividly illustrated in his case study of Uber's aggressive pursuit
of growth during the tenure of CEO Travis Kalanick. Appealing to
any reader of entrepreneurial biographies, All In shows
individuals, teams and organizations how to manage obsession's
downsides while realizing the benefits of relentlessly seeking to
create something that truly matters.

Is everything that goes on in your mind really you? Perhaps not,
says Australian psychic researcher Robert Bruce. Drawing on more
than two decades of firsthand research and experience, Bruce
reports that our minds are subject to influences from many unseen
spiritual sources. Some of these can influence how we think, feel,
act, and even how our bodies function. They can make us unhappy,
irritable, confused, sick, unstable, even crazy. This is why we
need practical tools and countermeasures for psychic self-defense,
all of which Bruce provides.
This is the ultimate guide to combating the influences of
earthbound spirits, deranged ghosts, astral snakes and spiders,
demonic spirits, and poltergeists. This is a highly anecdotal and
comprehensive practical guide to the dark side of the psychic
universe.
If you're one of the many who has decided to build your own

The fiftieth anniversary of the foundation of the United Nations
was commemorated in 1995 with a number of conferences and
publications which assessed the history and contemporary role of
this paramount international organisation. This book is the result
of a meeting of scholars and specialists who wished to further
understanding of the challenges faced by the United Nations in its
efforts to intervene in post-cold war conflict. In particular the
experiences in Bosnia, Somalia and in Rwanda, where UN peacekeepers
seemed powerless to act in the face of acts of genocide, gross
violations of human rights and the widespread suffering caused by
war, makes such an analysis timely and important.

Designed as a first-stop reference for researchers and
professionals in toxicology, pharmacology and medicine, this
handbook is the very first to tie together the knowledge from many
disciplines that has so far been available only from widely
dispersed sources in the primary literature. As such, it presents
the complete picture on what is currently known about endogenous
toxins, including their generation, mode of action, resulting
disease condition, and available countermeasures.
Clearly divided into four parts, the first systematically covers
important toxic molecule species, including metabolic intermediates
and reactive oxygen species. The second discusses the role of
genetically determined metabolic malfunctions, such as
galactosemia, hyperlipidemia, porphyria, hemochromatosis and
related conditions, while part three looks at acquired and chronic
diseases caused or exacerbated by endogenous toxins, such as
hepatic injury, asthma, rheumatism, colorectal cancer, reperfusion
diseases, neurodegneration and aging. The final part reviews
currents strategies to control and minimize the effect of
endogenous toxins, either by nutritional or pharmacological
interventions.
With its complete coverage integrating molecular and systemic
aspects from the biochemical basis to human disease conditions,
this comprehensive reference will appeal to a broad target group of
toxicologists, biochemists, nutrition specialists and physicians.
The first comprehensive presentation of reduction semantics in one
volume, and the first tool set for such forms of semantics. This
text is the first comprehensive presentation of reduction semantics
in one volume; it also introduces the first reliable and
easy-to-use tool set for such forms of semantics. Software
engineers have long known that automatic tool support is critical
for rapid prototyping and modeling, and this book is addressed to
the working semantics engineer (graduate student or professional
language designer). The book comes with a prototyping tool suite to
develop, explore, test, debug, and publish semantic models of
programming languages. With PLT Redex, semanticists can formulate
models as grammars and reduction models on their computers with the
ease of paper and pencil. The text first presents a framework for
the formulation of language models, focusing on equational calculi
and abstract machines, then introduces PLT Redex, a suite of
software tools for expressing these models as PLT Redex models.
Finally, experts describe a range of models formulated in Redex.
PLT Redex comes with the PLT Scheme implementation, available free
at http://www.plt-scheme.org/. Readers can download the software
and experiment with Redex as they work their way through the book.

Roots and Wings recounts Virginia Tanner's remarkable career as a
dance artist, educator, and founder of the University of Utah's
Tanner Dance Program. From her early experiences assisting at
Evelyn Davis's dance school in Washington, D.C., to the creation of
the Tanner Dance Program at the University of Utah, her influence
in the field was pervasive. She channelled children's energy,
sharpened their senses, and encouraged youthful, authentic dance
expression. Tanner's work endures, continuing to echo with
sensitivity and spirit in the bodies of young dancers throughout
the United States and abroad. By revealing both the broader and
specific themes of Tanner's career and legacy, this narrative fills
an important void. While exploring Tanner's story, it also
recognizes the value of unique instructional methodologies for
teaching dance to young children and the vital role the arts play
in children's lives.
Of the over four dozen lighthouses that once marked the jagged
shoreline of North Carolina, only nine still stand, watching over
300 miles of coast. These beacons are cherished monuments of North

they now draw thousands of visitors each year. With this book,
cofounders of the Outer Banks Lighthouse Society Cheryl
Shelton-Roberts and Bruce Roberts provide a well-researched,
human-centered, and beautifully illustrated history of these
towering structures. The authors offer stories-including the
misadventures of Civil War spies and the threat of looming German
U-boats off the North Carolina coast-that provide important context
and meaning to the history of North Carolina's lighthouses. From
Cape Fear to Currituck Beach, every still-standing lighthouse is
lovingly described alongside their architects, builders, and
keepers and the sailors who depended on the lighthouses to keep
them from harm.
