Summary

Hostage Negotiations explores the intricate world of hostage crises, where diplomacy falters and lives hang precariously in the balance. It delves into negotiation strategies, the political ramifications, and the historical impact of these events on national security. The book analyzes how a purely military approach can be counterproductive, emphasizing the need to balance life preservation with potential long-term political consequences. The book draws upon historical precedents, like the Iranian hostage crisis, to provide context while examining the psychological elements influencing hostage takers and negotiators. It presents a comprehensive analysis, beginning with the fundamentals of hostage negotiation, including communication strategies and trust-building. Major themes, such as intelligence gathering and ethical dilemmas, are explored, culminating in an analysis of the long-term political and military implications. What sets this book apart is its balanced approach, considering the tactical aspects of negotiation and the broader political and historical context. It offers a fresh perspective on conflict resolution and crisis management, providing valuable insights for policymakers, military strategists, and students of political science interested in international relations. Chapters progress to analyze case studies, tactics used, and outcomes achieved, ultimately providing recommendations for future policy and training.

    Ever since his childhood, Kyriacos C. Markides has heard mysterious rumors concerning the Magus of Strovolos, Cyprus's "specialist of the netherworld."

When he returns to Cyprus as an adult, Markides seeks out this master healer and spiritual teacher, to discover the old man for himself. Armed with the skepticism he learned as a sociologist, combined with his passion to explore the inner world and beliefs of this strange Magus, Markides soon learns to appreciate the power and wisdom of this peaceful and humorous soul.

From his exorcism of a Jewish girl haunted by Nazi ghosts to his theory of reincarnation, the Magus reveals to Markides the extraordinary secrets of his philosophy, challenging Western materialism and science, and pointing towards vast domains we normally cannot see.

In writing The Magus of Strovolos, Markides seeks to bring the master healer's teachings to the world. By reading it, we too undertake his spiritual journey.

Most students of the Spanish language shy away from this subject and it's no wonder! So many books on the market make it look complex and difficult to understand. 
Yet here, at LightSpeed Spanish, we have developed the perfect system to walk you through the entire range of the Spanish Subjunctive, step by step. 
This comprehensive book uses simple, easy to understand explanations that won't leave you mind boggled, while it guides you through the creation of over 600 Subjunctive sentences. 
By the time you've finished this learning journey we anticipate that you will be more confident, more at ease and far more able to use the Spanish Subjunctive in every facet of your communication. It really is a must buy for any serious student of the Spanish language! 
Un saludo, 
Gordon y Cynthia:)

    In 2008, Celeste Mergens was working with an overcrowded orphanage on the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya, when she learned that menstruating girls sat on cardboard in their rooms for several days each month. 
 
 
 
This set into motion a simple idea—combining a washable, long-lasting pad with taboo-breaking education—that became a catalyst for an unlikely global movement for equity. 
 
 
 
Written in short, evocative chapters, The Power of Days tells the story of Mergens's quest to rally a global response to elevate menstrual health, increase universal access to menstrual supplies, shatter stigma through education, and advocate for global policy change. Raised in poverty by a mentally ill parent, Mergens learned early on that building the life she wanted would take equal parts determination and humility, traits that led her to create the kinds of inclusive conversations and solutions she is known for around the globe. 
 
 
 
The challenges Mergens faced and the lessons she learned, personally and professionally, and the triumphs and resourcefulness of leaders all over the globe are illuminating to all who wish to make a difference and create a more equitable world. 
 
 
 
This enhanced audio recording features an audio-exclusive Q&A between Days for Girls cofounders Celeste and Don Mergens.
