  Bridgebuilders - How Government...

  Our government is in crisis, mired in bureaucracy and often unable to fix tough problems. This book provides an essential new model for transforming the system and getting things done. 
   
   
   
  COVID. Climate change. Refugee resettlement. Global supply chains. We're facing a new generation of complex problems, stretching across the public and private sectors. Historically we've looked to government for big solutions, but the reality is, the government we have now is a poor match for the problems we face. 
   
   
   
  We need a fresh, new approach. As William D. Eggers and Donald F. Kettl show in this indispensable book, we need a government of bridgebuilders—public managers and leaders who collaborate with partners, both inside and outside government, to get the job done. They manage horizontally instead of vertically, they see their role as connectors, and they identify which players have the assets needed to solve the problems at hand. 
   
   
   
  Each chapter examines one of the ten core principles of bridgebuilding and features practical tips and dynamic cases of how effective leaders have put each principle to work. Also included is a special section on creating a hundred-day bridgebuilding plan.

  Despite its prevalence, post-traumatic stress, PTSD, is often seen as an unbeatable lifelong mental disorder. Leading trauma doctors and neuroscientists now understand that the result of trauma is not a disorder, but rather a physical injury to the body—invisible but tangible, and most importantly, treatable. 
   
   
   
  Meet Dr. Eugene Lipov. His research and partnerships have led to an amazing discovery that all trauma has at its root a single piece of human hardware: the stellate ganglion. The symptoms of post-traumatic stress are the same for all of us, whether from childhood poverty or abandonment, the ravages of war, or the brutality of sexual assault. Dr. Lipov's pioneering procedure appears to treat injury to the stellate ganglion, relieving even the worst symptoms of PTSD—irritability, hypervigilance, insomnia, and more—in a fifteen-minute treatment. 
   
    
   
  Weaving hard science with moving human stories, The Invisible Machine reveals how this treatment was developed. It also tells the incredible story of the unlikely team, including the doctor, an artist, Special Forces leadership, and a sheriff, who are working together to change our understanding of post-traumatic stress and why it matters to society.

  Africa is huge and varied, and so is its mythology. 
  African ideas of how the world began are very different from the story of Genesis. Though the creator god is repeatedly seen as having withdrawn from the world, people often have a very direct and intense relationship with demigods, ancestors, and bush spirits. The entire landscape is permeated by spiritual meanings and inhabited by gods and spirits. While many Africans today formally follow the Christian or Muslim faiths, they often blend these beliefs with traditional lore and rites. 
  This audiobook examines the central themes of African mythology—the creation, gods and goddesses, trickster tales, animals, monsters, heroes, and mythical rulers—and shows how some motifs recur throughout the corpus of myths. It also looks at how African myths are becoming better known because of writers and filmmakers, particularly from the Black diaspora, who draw on this rich heritage for inspiration. 
  This introductory guide to African myths will allow you to do the following:Learn why the original creator decided to withdraw from Earth.Find out how ancient Egypt had several different creation stories, depending on which god was in ascendancy at the time.Listen to the medieval African emperor said to have been the richest man in history.Find out where Br’er Rabbit really came from.Check out how Anansi the Spider gained ownership of all the stories in the world.Get to know Oshun, the Yoruba river goddess, and how she arrived in Latin America.Learn about Haile Selassie, the emperor who brought Ethiopia into the League of Nations, and how he became a living god to Jamaican Rastafarians.Understand how Voodoo (Vodou) grew out of traditional West African religion.

  A Miscellany Of Men - The third...

  "before I finally desert the illusions of rationalism for the actualities of romance, I should very much like to write one last roaring, raging book telling all the rationalists not to be so utterly irrational... Do not talk such bosh. I implore you, I supplicate you not to talk such bosh. Utterly and absolutely abolish all such bosh—and we may yet begin to discuss these public questions properly." -GKC"the Chesterton wit and charm and gentle satire [and] hard-hitting controversy. And you will also find a distinct thread that ties it all together. [...] first published in 1912, the essays ... often refer to current events and personalities from the early 20th century: coal strikes and railway strikes, game laws, women’s suffrage, and British Imperialism. ... in every case the larger point being made is very clear and is not tied to a time and place – unless it is our time and place. Chesterton’s mere observations of an event, whether in a headline or outside his window could be expounded upon into huge timely treatises. It is because truth has ramifications. And because it is true.The old controversies are still relevant. But each question points to a larger question. How do we assure the dignity and basic rights of the laborer? For whom does he labor: himself or some remote rich man? Does voting make any difference when our choices are so limited, when the choices themselves are not our choices but someone else’s? What is the nature of real democracy?" - Dale Ahlquist"These old articles of mine because they cover a very controversial period, in which I was in nearly all the controversies, whether I was visible there or no. And I wish to gather up into this last article a valedictory violence about all such things; and then pass to where, beyond these voices, there is peace--or in other words, to the writing of Penny Dreadfuls; a noble and much-needed work." -GKC

  Russell Targ has been successfully teaching people how to get in touch with their psychic abilities for more than fifty years. This began in 1972 when he cofounded the CIA sponsored ESP research program at Stanford Research Institute. 
   
   
    
  Third Eye Spies will introduce listeners to the most successful and gifted remote viewers in the world, some of whom had never done anything like this before, along with the evidence of their psychic abilities. Remote viewing is the opportunity to describe and experience objects and events in the distance, past, and future. 
   
   
    
  Targ shares the simple techniques the masters of remote viewing used to be able to expand your mind's eye beyond your physical location. Misconceptions have abounded that ESP is weak and unreliable. On the contrary, in the SRI laboratory experiments and classified operational tasks, ESP was found to be surprisingly reliable, accurate, and useful. In data from laboratories all over the world, we have seen that the accuracy and reliability of remote viewing is not in any way degraded by distance. 
   
   
    
  With Third Eye Spies, you will be able to step beyond the boundaries of your physical body and learn to live with psychic abilities.
