Leadership guru Maxwell, who successfully bridged secular and Christian markets with such motivational titles as The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership and Developing the Leader Within You, draws on Old Testament paragons in this gifty inspirational hardback. Maxwell asks readers to envision the great "cloud of witnesses" (Heb. 12:1) said to surround us as we run the marathon of life, imagining that this cloud includes "the giants of the faith"-biblical heroes whose lives impart meaningful lessons. He includes the usual suspects: the David-tackles-Goliath tale demonstrates how people can rise above their limitations, while Noah exemplifies a willingness to take new risks (i.e., build a boat when no one had seen rain before). But there are bolder moments, too. Maxwell uses Rebekah as a model of generous giving (a welcome and underutilized virtue in business titles) and provides some gee-whiz facts to drive the point home: he estimates that to water Jacob's 10 camels, Rebekah needed about 200 gallons of water, r

Les Trois Médecins (qui s'intitulait originellement La Formation deSachs) raconte les sept années d'études de Bruno Sachs en reprenantla trame d'un des romans d'aventures, d'amour et de formation lesplus célèbres de l'histoire de la littérature mond

《JAMES HERRERT MOON》：The nightmare begins before you sleep... He had fled from the terrors of his past, finding refuge in the quietness of the island. And for a time he lived in peace. Until the 'sightings' began, visions of horror seeping into his mind like poisonous tendrils, violent acts that were hideously macabre, the thoughts becoming intense. He witnessed the grotesque acts of another thing, a thing that glorified in murder and mutilation, a monster that soon became aware of the observer within its own mind. And relished contact. A creature that would eventually come to the island to seek him out... 《JAMES HERBERT THE MAGIC COTTAGE》：'We thought we'd found our haven, a Cottage deep in the heart of the forest. Charming, maybe a little run-down, but so peaceful. That was the first part of the Magic. Midge's painting and my music soared to new heights of creativity. That was another part of the Magic. Our love for each other - well, that became the supreme Magic. But the cottage ha

The text, with few departures, is that of the First Quarto (1598) edition of the play. Act and scene divisions are not indicated in the Quarto; those of the First Folio have been incorporated, with one exception: scene ii of Act V has been divided into two scenes, with the concluding scenes numbered accordingly. The Third Edition includes expanded annotations. "Contexts and Sources"includes dueling arguments on the play's completeness (one play or one half of a play?) and the naming of a central character (Falstaff or Oldcastle?). "Criticism" includes twenty-four essays—from E. M. W. Tillyard's classic argument of an ordered Shakespearean universe to Graham Holderness's rebuttal to Gus Van Sant's interview regarding 1 Henry IV as the inspiration for his cult film, My Own Private Idaho—nineteen of them new to the Third Edition. The Selected Bibliography has been thoroughly updated.

The bestselling author of The Man Who Mistook His Wife For aHat describes how we experience the visual world. In Musicophilia ,Oliver Sacks explored music and the brain; now, in The Mind's Eye ,he writes about the myriad ways in which we experience the visualworld: how we see in three dimensions; how we recognize individualfaces or places; how we use language to communicate verbally; howwe translate marks on paper into words and paragraphs, even how werepresent the world internally when our eyes are closed. Alongsideremarkable stories of people who have lost these abilities butadapted with courage, resilience and ingenuity, there is an added,personal element: one day in late 2005, Sacks became aware of adazzling, flashing light in one part of his visual field; it wasnot the familiar migraine aura he had experienced since childhood,and just two days later a malignant tumor in one eye was diagnosed.In subsequent journal entries - some of which are included in TheMind's Eye - he chronicled the experience
