Secrets of Aikido Stevens John

Aikido is the Way of Peace, a martial art aimed at harmonizing body and spirit with the natural forces of the universe. Developed in the late 1920s by martial artist and spiritual leader Morihei Ueshiba, Aikido is unique among martial arts for its emphasis on peace and philosophical and spiritual development.

"Those who seek to compete and better one another are making a terrible mistake," says Morihei, "The real Way of a Warrior is to prevent such slaughter -- it is the Art of Peace, the power of love."In Secrets of Aikido, John Stevens -- esteemed Aikido instructor and author of over 30 books on Aikido and its founder) -- delves into the hidden teachings and deep, multi-dimensional spiritual wisdom offered by this

The Plant Based Runner: A Personal Guide to Running, Healthy Eating, and Discovering a New You Cairns Jonathan

A few years ago Jonathan Cairns was 46, fat, unfit, and going through a very painful separation.He had never exercised and had zero energy but as a way of dealing with the pain and frustration of his separation, he decided to take up running. Or as he talks about in his book The Plant-Based Runner: A Personal Guide to Running, Healthy Eating, and Discovering a New You, he started to 'put one foot in front of the other'.This book is raw and real. There is nothing in it that is not tried and tested by Cairns, and it has an authentic ring about it. This is a personal story, about his struggle to see his children in the face of a relentless, anti-father bias in the judicial system. He is running to solve problems, running to find solutions as opposed to running away from trouble. He takes responsibility for everything that is his.

The Legacy of Mothers: Matriarchies and the Gift Economy as Post Capitalist Alternatives Shadmi Erella

The many powerful voices of the international contributors to this anthology argue that motherhood may be the foundation of alternative human logic, a new socio-political order, a new value system, and a way of liberating mothers themselves. This book does not present a utopia but a possible road to an alternative evolvement of the world different from the common thinking in the Global North: In lieu of capitalism--the gift economy and the subsistence economy; in lieu of trans-humanism--nature and all her human and non-human inhabitants; in lieu of individualism--community; in lieu of domination--balance and responsibility; in lieu of State--localism; in lieu of monotheism--spirituality; in lieu of equality feminism--transformative feminism. The signs of this development are already seen everywhere: in the New Age, in urban communes, in Occupy movement, in the mothers' movement.

Man of No Ego Petrov Dimitar

This book presents the path of living beyond the Ego. As an artist and an ambassador of Love, I came to book writing as another form of channeling. My deepest intention is to convey the message, that, we as divine beings, are capable of all there is. We are a miracle. Life is a miracle. My humble suggestion for you is to experience it with an open heart. With a Loving heart. Only then, will the doors truly open. The deepest of desires, will manifest. Embracing Love and letting go is the truth. And Ego is a tool. We are created in such a way. We need not destroy it. The key here is to accept it, but understand deeply, that you are not that. You are the universe experiencing itself. And we are not just the idea of ourselves. Life teaches us, that this idea is bound to change, that it is not our true source of Self and not permanent within us. What is permanent within ourselves is the

Bram Stoker and the Man Who Was Dracula Belford Barbara

"What a splendid subject to sink one's teeth into," raved the Washington Post. Here was a six-foot-two Irishman with a red beard--a Victorian family man, a spirited debater, and the author of novels and short stories largely forgotten today. All, of course, except for Dracula, which has enjoyed countless stage and screen incarnations and haunted the dreams of many generations. Bram Stoker lived at the very center of late-Victorian social and artistic life and numbered among his friends Oscar Wilde, Walt Whitman, Mark Twain, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, James Whistler, William Gladstone, and Alfred Lord Tennyson. But it was his relationship with the mesmerizing, domineering actor Henry Irving that may have played the most crucial role in Stoker's life--a real-life monster who ultimately led to Stoker's most famous creation. In this book that the Baltimore Sun called

Discipline Without Punishment: The Proven Strategy That Turns Problem Employees into Superior Performers Grote Dick

More than 30 years ago, Dick Grote developed a powerful, nonpunitive discipline system that turned a troubled Frito-Lay plant from a hotbed of employee sabotage and toxic relations into a productive, respectful environment--one where employees took personal responsibility for their behavior, and managers helped problem employees become productive players.Grote's method spread to other companies, and gained national recognition with the 1995 release of the first edition of Discipline Without Punishment. The book has become a management classic, helping thousands of companies and managers move to a responsibility-based approach for handling unacceptable performance, problem behaviors, and excessive absenteeism. But, despite the effectiveness of the DWP method, many supervisors and workplaces continue to cling to their long-established system of verbal warnings,
