Leading the Starbucks Way: 5 Principles for Connecting with Your Customers, Your Products and Your People Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Joseph Michelli

** spoiler alert ** I really loved this collection of longer short stories. Because they were longer, they weren't just a snapshot of characters and their lives, but more of a collection of snapshots. Very good ones! I loved the development in them, the flaws and reality of each character. I also loved that the author writes like Hemingyway; there is so much beneath the surface that adds to the characters' richness. You can just feel history pervading every story. And not just history history, but the characters' individual histories, everything they might have experienced up until these snapshots are revealed. And this is wonderful, because then they seem more real, like rounded real people. My favorite story was "The Circumcision." I thought it was so powerful, especially for anyone with a German-American history, or maybe even Jewish-American. Andi is a German studying in NYC, and Sarah is a Jewish American living and working there. They meet and fall in love, and explore all the problems that a German-Jewish couple faces. Some of the problems I think are real, and the author does a great job with that: navigating the religious differences, (potential) familial objections, etc. But some of it I think isn't necessary, and focuses on whether or not modern Germans should bear the guilt of their ancestors. In one evry powerful passage, Sarah says something to the effect of, "I try not to hold it against you that you're German." And she says, after he is teasing her a bit, that it's the Nazi in him that teases. To me, these were appalling comments, especially given that they are in a committed, serious relationship. Andi follows up with, "What would you say if I said I didn't hold it against you that you are Jewish." Sarah is angry, and says it isn't the same because she didn't kill a bunch of people. What she misses, though, is that neither did Andi, of course. They get beyond the argument, and Andi even decides, on a trip home to Heidelberg, to have a circumcision, because evidently he sees a future with Sarah and is considering converting. However, when he gets back, not only does Sarah not notice, but she doesn't even understand the significance once he tells her. He spends the night with her, but gets up early in the morning and leaves her. In this instance, I can understand why he did so. It didn't seem like the two of them were going to reach a common ground. I think the author did, though, set out common ground that would allow a couple like that to succeed. And I think he brought up fantastic points about modern Germans and the confusion about carrying the guilt of not even their relatives, but of a collective German identity. I thought it was a brilliant story, and I look forward to reading more by Schlink, including his nonfiction book of essays, Guilt about the Past.

Phong Thần Song Long - Tập 4: Độc Kế Của Quỷ Phương Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Long Nhân

My copy dates from the 1970's. Answered many questions about LDS beliefs but showed that many more need to be explained more fully. TALK to LDS friends or go to reputable websites for additional info. Very worthwhile. This is the second time I have read this. First time about 10 years ago.

Tom Clancy's Commander-in-Chief Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Mark Greaney

If I Stay is one of those heartbreaking novels that leaves you breathless. This hauntingly beautiful novel of family,loss,devastation,desperation and ultimately love will leave you with a new outlook on tragedy and what it takes to leave those you love behind. I have not read a book yet that has riveted me as much as this one. I cried throughout the entire novel. Mia's story is one that I will carry with me for a very long time. The love that Mia has for her family and Adam. The love that Adam has for Mia. The love that Kim has for Mia had me sobbing. Literally sobbing. I do not have words for the powerful impact that this novel had on me. One of the best novels that I have read in a very very long time. It will definitely be hard to top the level of emotion that I felt from Gayle coming off those pages. If you have not read If I Stay yet then you are missing out on an emotionally riveting novel that will change you.

This book is so VERY well written for a technical book. It covers all the topics and covers them well, making it easy to understand the topics and how they fit into the overall picture. I showed this book to an HP SAN instructor who perused it and said "Yes, this has everything you need."

I loved reading this nonfiction book about the fall of the Romanov Dynasty - even though I knew how it ended. Massie does an excellent job investigating and detailing what caused the Tsar to make the poor decisions that resulted in the fall of the dynasty and why the Empress Alexandra was so easily influenced by Rasputin. He proposes many interesting "what if's - so be sure to read to the end.

Only Graham Greene book I've ever really enjoyed. And, as I was told by Katy (pronounced KT) in Byron Bay some years ago, while swinging in a hammock after concluding my morning surf and chores as the resident handyman at Byron Bay Hostel, "Brighton does rock." KT if you are out there I hope you are well.

Nam Cực Tinh Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Phong Duy

this book was a refreshing look at how we deal with the not-so-good things in life, and what tools we have within ourselves to help navigate those times. one of the most important things i came to understand is that things like sadness, anger, frustration, feelings of instability, etc. are not inherently bad things. rather, they are challenging. they can present themselves as obstacles. but in reality, they are incredible teachers within our own personal experience that help us to grow. sometimes in the darkest of times, we achieve the greatest clarity. i let myself wrap my mind around this perspective that was so different from traditional western mores of achieving happiness and avoiding pain. in this way, i started to feel a new sense of peace and serenity about the difficult things faced in life. what i loved about this book was that she didn't write it to help readers solve their problems but rather to look at their "problems" as incredibly valuable, illuminating devices to open their minds and hearts to grow and deepen. a great book, i recommend it to anyone who is willing to open up to a change in thinking.

Flash Card Kích Thích Thị Giác Cho Trẻ Sơ Sinh 2 - Đỏ Đen Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Công Cát

One of my favorite teen series. The expert plotting more than makes up for the occassionally prosaic writing. With the engrossing mystery and well-developed characters that remain sympathetic despite their many flaws, this book transcends the mass of typical "cotton candy" YA lit about spoiled, selfish girls. The solution to the mystery was unexpected, yet made perfect sense.
