  George Stephenson was a British civil and mechanical engineer who lived from June the 9th 1781 to August the 12th 1848. Stephenson, called the "Dad of Railways," was regarded by Victorians as a great example of exertion and a desire to enhance. Samuel Smiles, a self-help supporter, applauded his achievements in particular. The four feet eight +12 inches (1.435 m) basic gauge used by the majority of the world's trains is based upon his chosen rail gauge, at times described as 'Stephenson gauge.' 
  Rail transport, which was created by Stephenson and was a crucial element of the Industrial Revolution, was just one of the most essential innovative developments of the nineteenth century. The Mobility No. 1 was the first steam engine to transport guests on a public railway, the Stockton and Darlington Train, in 1825. It was built by George and his child Robert's company, Robert Stephenson & Business. The Liverpool and Manchester Train, which opened in 1830, was the world's first public inter-city train path to use engines. 
  In this book, you will learn more about his inventions and his life.

  In the face of personal and global suffering, is it possible to live with hope rather than despair? Join psychiatrist, speaker, and award-winning author Curt Thompson as he shows us how God transforms our grief into a lasting peace that surpasses all understanding. 
  Suffering is a defining reality of life. Yet so many of us are so focused on avoiding discomfort that we've never learned how to actually suffer. But what if we could move from anxiety to durable hope? 
  In The Deepest Place, Thompson invites us to explore how the Apostle Paul's experience of love, secure attachment, and the deeply felt sense of God's abiding presence carried him through the challenges he faced--and how it can help us not just survive, but flourish in the presence of suffering. 
  Combining scripture with his own professional insight, Thompson helps us discover that:Suffering can increase our sense of security rather than our fearsHope is something we form in communityFaith can grow out of anger, cynicism, and doubtPerseverance changes our brain and reshapes our imaginationListening to our bodies helps us find new hope in loss 
    
  As Thompson reminds us, those who have suffered greatly, including the Apostle Paul, are able to see their stories with a new understanding of God's presence and unfailing love. Let The Deepest Place show you how to do the same.

  You Can't Make This Shit Up!...

  I was an active duty Army JAG for 20 years. When I retired in 2006, I was approached to work as Principal Deputy Chief Defense Counsel for the Military Commissions Defense Organization (MCDO): the team defending people held at Guantánamo Bay in the Bush administration’s “war on terror”. In many senses, the military commissions, created in the aftermath of 9/11, were the antithesis of good national and international law, originally designed to allow the use of evidence obtained from torture to prosecute and convict “detainees”. 
  At MCDO, truth was (and is) stranger than fiction. We would often invoke the mantra “You can’t make this shit up!” There is another meaning to this phrase: when the Bush administration decided to create (“make up”) the GTMO military commissions and not to use established systems of justice, they were asking for trouble. It is impossible to create a new system of “justice” on the fly, particularly one created to hide illegal practices. Innumerable problems and obstacles were bound to occur. 
  This insider account of the work of MCDO through the Hicks, Hamdan, Khadr, al Bahlul, and Jawad trials, among others, and the al Nashiri and “9/11” death penalty cases, offers unique insights into the often dark world MCDO attorneys were forced to navigate—including being investigated by the FBI for alleged misuse of classified materials. There was so much at stake: nothing less than the rule of law. Fortunately, there was also room for dark humor: you really can’t make this shit up!

  Neurodiversity Coaching demystifies the themes and assumptions affecting neurodivergent coachee experiences at work, whilst at the same time exploring the necessary safeguards required for working with this vulnerable group. 
   
  The book supports existing coaching practitioners, managers and community leaders to understand the essentials of neurodivergence, a term which encompasses ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and Tourette Syndrome, and how these diagnoses require specific coaching approaches to support individuals to thrive at work. This book is practically focused on the "how", sharing coaching exercises and activities that have been evaluated and researched by authors with extensive experience in the field. Grounded in coaching psychology theory, those with existing knowledge will be able to transfer their skill set to the neurodiversity context and those who are considering learning more about coaching can be signposted to essential knowledge and skills. 
   
  Neurodiversity Coaching will be suitable for independent coaching practitioners and internal organizational coaches and managers seeking a coaching approach.
