Achieving this "wholeness" requires the development of six character traits (creates trust, unafraid of reality, results-oriented, solves "negative realities," causes growth and finds meaning in life) which Cloud examines in great detail, using business stories like Proctor and Gamble's success in China and the experiences of his CEO friends and clients. For Cloud, an author, clinical psychologist and corporate consultant, integrity is more than just a person's ethics and morals. ![]() ![]() ![]() To attain wisdom, remove things every day. To attain knowledge, add things every day. Without the laughter, there would be no Tao. Of a good leader, who talks little, when his work is done, his aims fulfilled, they will all say, "We did this ourselves." Since before time and space were, the Tao is. A leader is best when people barely know that he exists. The Tao is like a well:įilled with infinite possibilities. The Tao is called the Great Mother: empty yet inexhaustible, it gives birth to infinite worlds. Tao Te Ching The Tao that can be expressed is not the eternal Tao The name that can be defined is not the unchanging name (道可道,非常道;名可名,非常名). ![]() Quoted in James Legge, Texts of Taoism, 34 Quoted from Will Durant, Our Oriental Heritage. ![]() Your character gains nothing for all these. Get rid of your pride and your many ambitions, your affectation and your extravagant aims. ![]() I have heard that the successful merchant carefully conceals his wealth, and acts as though he had nothing-that the great man, though abounding in achievements, is simple in his manners and appearance. When the hour of the great man has struck he rises to leadership but before his time has come he is hampered in all that he attempts. Those about whom you inquire have moulded with their bones into dust. ![]() ![]() ![]() He comes at his interviewees with a skewer in one hand, a scalpel in the other and a glint in his eye. If it is possible to set partisanship aside in these tribal times, the main attraction to Leibovich's work is his wicked satirical talent. Republicans abound in that book, too, but Democrats and their media favorites were arguably its first focus.īy contrast, the cover of Thank You for Your Servitude features cartoon caricatures of Trump staffers, prominent Republicans, conservative media personalities and a recognizable January 6 rioter with buffalo horns on his head. This Town was about the first five years of the Barack Obama phenomenon in America. Critics at the time spoke of too much snark and gossip, but the book was also widely praised for exposing the incestuous, meretricious power elite of Washington.Īn added selling point for some is that this time the acerbic Leibovich trains his fire on one party - Trump's Republicans. People remember Leibovich's earlier take on the nation's capital - This Town: Two Parties and a Funeral - Plus, Plenty of Valet Parking! - in America's Gilded Capital - which topped The New York Times bestseller list for three months in 2013. ![]() That is why Thank You for Your Servitude: Donald Trump's Washington and the Price of Submission will likely find a place alongside all those other tomes trashing all things Trump. ![]() The nation's readers may not be crying out for yet another book about former President Trump and his era, but many will make an exception for a book by Mark Leibovich. ![]() ![]() ![]() Now, Elizabeth has sent her mother a plane ticket and reserved a room for her at the city’s most luxurious hotel. Mysterious phone calls from San Francisco at odd hours of the night are the only contact they’ve had for years. ![]() Martha Macnamara knows that her daughter, Elizabeth, is in trouble-she just doesn’t know what kind. “Well researched, sharply told, highly atmospheric and as brutal as any pulp detective tale.” Unable to resist Evening’s dying curse, Toby must resume her former position as knight errant to the Duke of Shadowed Hills and begin renewing old alliances that may prove her only hope of solving the mystery…before the curse catches up with her. The murder of Countess Evening Winterrose, one of the secret regents of the San Francisco Bay Area, pulls Toby back into the fae world. ![]() Unfortunately for her, Faerie has other ideas… After getting burned by both sides of her heritage, Toby has denied the fae world, retreating into a “normal” life. Or, in the case of October “Toby” Daye, rejecting it completely. Outsiders from birth, these half-human, half-fae children spend their lives fighting for the respect of their immortal relations. Secrecy is the key to Faerie’s survival-but no secret can be kept forever, and when the fae and mortal worlds collide, changelings are born. The world of Faerie never disappeared it merely went into hiding, continuing to exist parallel to our own. ![]() ![]() ![]() This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. ![]() How many other copies of Truth could possibly be left in the world?” I looked through them and oh my god, there’s a comic by O’Neill! I bought them all, 3 for $5 each, and now I am the proud possessor of them. I knew from previous research that both O’Neill and Grace Drayton had drawn for it. “There was a garage sale around the corner from my house and this guy had issues of a magazine called Truth from the late 1890s. As far as anyone knows the very first comic by a woman was by Rose O’Neill, in 18, around the time of The Yellow Kid. Several of Robbins’ finds leading up to Pretty in Ink were, as she calls them, “adventures in serendipity. In the ’40s, she adds, DC Comics and Marvel employed artists Romona Fradon and Marie Severin, respectively. ![]() “And after that she became quite a well-known artist painting murals all over the Southwest,” Robbins says. The women covered range from Dale Messick’s well-known reporter Brenda Starr, in a comics series that ended its decades-long run in 2011, to Eva Mirabal, a Taos Pueblo, N.M., artist and corporal in the Women’s Army Corps who drew the G.I.

Over 300 works of art, illuminated manuscripts and miniatures pertinent to Huizinga's discourse will be included as well as a complete bibliography of Huizinga’s own reading and an up-to-date introduction. The retranslation is as faithful to the Dutch original as possible and will include beautiful new English renderings of the Old and Middle French poems. The translation is based on the Dutch edition of 1941 – the last edition Huizinga worked on and checked during his life. This is a new and unabridged translation of Huizinga’s text and aims to capture its importance as a landmark of historical scholarship as well as remarkable work of literature. It is a classic study of life, culture and thought in fourteenth and fifteenth century France and the Netherlands. ![]() ![]() A new English translation of Huizinga's Herfsttij der Middeleeuwen, which is celebrating its centenary and still ranks as one of the most perceptive and influential analyses of the medieval period. ![]() ![]() The story records the "decivilisation" of Buck as he answers 'the call of the wild', an inherent memory of primeval origins to which he instinctively responds. Stolen from his pampered life on a Californian estate and shipped to the Klondike to work as a sledge dog, he triumphs over his circumstances and becomes the leader of a wolf pack. Set in Alaska during the Klondike Gold Rush of the late 1890s, 'The Call of the Wild' is about Buck, the magnificent cross-bred offspring of a St Bernard and a Scottish Collie. 'The Call of the Wild' (1903) and 'White Fang'(1906) are world famous animal stories. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Progress on Stormlight 5 has been slow of course, and Brandon finally confirmed what we all expected: the Stormlight 5 release just isn't going to happen in 2023 after all. I don't know about you, but I'm already sweating thinking about how much work it will be just to keep up! Which, if you've give a moment of thought for Brandon's release schedule for 2023, is a darn good question! We've got four Secret Project books, Defiant (Skyward 4), AND supposedly Stormlight Archive 5? Not to mention the Words of Radiance leatherbounds and several other smaller projects that might be coming along. Though the reason why certainly isn't quite what we expected.īrandon Sanderson did a Reddit AMA (ask me anything) with subreddit r/books last week, and u/VeryNiceName16 asked about the plan for the "Stormlight 4.5 novella" (tentatively titled Horneater) amid everything else going on in 2023. ![]() We suspected that this would be the case for some time now, but it has finally be confirmed: Stormlight 5 won't be coming until 2024. ![]() ![]() ![]() In a large bowl, mix together the self-rising flour, ground almonds, baking powder, mixed spice, and lemon zest until well combined. Transfer the fruit (including any leftover alcohol) to a food processor and blend a little, keeping a few chunks throughout. Reduce the heat and continue to stir until it is of a syrupy consistency with no sugar lumps. ![]() At this stage, gradually stir in 100ml of freshly boiled water. Heat the demerara sugar in a saucepan on a medium heat until it dissolves fully and turns dark caramel color. Once the fruit has soaked, preheat the oven to 300☏ and line two 8-in loose-bottomed cake tins with greaseproof baking paper. Cover with a lid, or cling film and set aside in a cool, dark place to soak for 5 days, giving it a stir every day. Put all the dried fruit in a large bowl and pour over the cherry brandy, rum, and Angostura bitters. ![]() |
