conversations about the beauty, brutality, discipline, and
technique of being a successful singer. “This is a captivating
look at both the nitty-gritty preparation and emotional energy that
‘it takes [for artists] to stand up to that mic... reach down
into their guts, and give everything they’ve got for the sake of
the song.’ Its star power and up-close, revelatory detail will
keep readers riveted from start to finish.” —Publishers Weekly,
starred review These revelatory, frequently funny, and deeply

with something divine to a certain degree. It’s connecting to
your most primitive and deepest intuition, and to your nature as a
human on this planet.” —Karen O More than just an indispensable

L.E.T. has changed countless corporations and private businesses-including many Fortune 500 companies-with its down-to-earth communication and conflict resolution skills. Now, this indispensable source has been newly revised with updated research and timely case studies.
Thomas Gordon (1788 1841), a British army officer and philhellene,
was actively involved in the Greek struggle for independence during
the period 1821 8. This two-volume work, published in 1833,
provides a comprehensive account of the Greek Revolution,
portraying the war 'as it really was' and describing atrocities
perpetrated by both sides. In his preface, Gordon acknowledges that
the contest between the Greeks and the Turks has been written about
a great deal. He sets out his aims to 'clear away exaggeration,
rectify errors and anachronisms, and supply omissions', and he
draws upon insights gained from having lived and fought for several
years in Greece. Volume 1 covers the background history of Greece,
and up to the end of 1822. Volume 2 continues the narrative until
de facto independence in 1827, but cautions that wider European
interests may delay the establishment of a viable Greek government.
