Something to Be Desired by Thomas McGuane Pdf

A funny, rueful, and beautifully rendered portrait of American manhood on the rocks from the highly acclaimed author of Cloudbursts and Ninety-two in the Shade In life Lucien Taylor has made several mistakes, but the two most grievous are as follows: leaving his wife and son to take up with his old flame, Emily; and putting up Emily's bail when she is arrested for murder. The upshot is that Lucien is left stranded in Montana, with a malodorous hot spring and a squandered sense of purpose. As told by Thomas McGuane, Lucien's attempt to recoup his losses makes for a book that says volumes about the lives of dogs and falcons, the yearnings of sons for fathers, and the skeptical truce that men and women sometimes reach when they get tired of fighting.

Driving Desired Futures by Michael Shamiyeh Pdf

Headed by the slogan “Design Thinking,” a debate has unfolded over the last ten years about design methods, which goes far beyond the specialist boundaries of design disciplines. Executives and business owners today recognize the potential for economic innovation lying in the creative and analytical mindset of designers. The extensive literature available on “Design Thinking” focuses on the methodology of the design process, while the conditions necessary to spark innovation processes in the first place, have long remained more or less unnoticed. Driving Desired Futures starts here and asks how established innovations arise from a simple idea. What criteria are mostly likely to be the basis from which the ideas of an individual can take hold in a social system? What are conditions, under which they can become incorporated into a diverse group of people? What topics induce managers to choose and then to invest in a specific idea? Questions such as these are pursued in international contributions by renowned experts, using the first digital camera as a case study. They identify the individual and social processes associated with the exchange and implementation of new ideas.

Create a Desired Future by Working on Your Own Dream by Idowu Kotila Pdf

The book Create a Better Future by Working on Your Personal Dream is to define dreams and elaborate on what the dreams are and what dreaming is not. It is a wake-up call book for many people who are suffering in the midst of plenty simply because they actually have dreams and talents that can shift them to a better stage of their lives but the fear of the unknown is preventing them from making any move or use their talents to their own advantage and to the benefit of their communities and the world at large. The book is also written to let many people who are talented but haven't discovered their talents to discover their talents through examples and advice given in the body of this book and to remind readers that relying on their fathers' wealth or their uncles or aunties abroad cannot help their dream. Possible channels for fulfilling dreams are touched in the book for as many that are on the crossroads on their way to success to study and be encouraged to put into practice. This book is to remind the readers that people are poor not because they don't have money in their bank accounts but because they lack dreams, vision, and purpose and by exhibiting fear of unknown in their mind. Among the aim of this book is to remind the readers that borrowers are slaves to the lenders and to remind them that he who controls your time has control on your destiny and has a great influence on your life. That is the case of employers to employees regardless of your position in your present jobs as employee. Reasons why many university and college degree certificates holders are poor and serving as slaves to people in authority and the few rich who can take risks and work on their dreams even though they don't bag as much university degree is emphasized on in this book. More also, one of the major purposes of this book is to remind the brilliant students that school rewards people for their memory. Life rewards people for their creativity and ability to solve problems. Your degree or certificate is not the cure to poverty; the cure to poverty is your ability to see and seize opportunities. Possible advice to the common problems facing the university and college graduates that are struggling to make ends meet and those that are making it but want to shift to the next level of their greatness are included in chapters of this book. The power of simple things is described in the chapter of this book by showing examples of simple thing that are easy for people to do to transform their lives but they keep failing to do at every point of their lives daily. This is among the reasons why this book is published. The constant law of wealth creation is mentioned in this book. Possible and simple ways of starting and establishing businesses with possible steps to take in transiting from your regular jobs to your own business without becoming jobless in between the transit is in this book. The ways to see your future are in the book. Reading this book will allow employees to know that by working for people, they will make a living. While working on their businesses will make them a fortune. The daily habits of the few rich and what they are doing daily to stay on top of the ladder and keep making people serve them and their generations are in this book. The ability to turn challenges into opportunities and to diffuse the fear of the unknown in the mind of those who don't have hope in their future by letting them know that they are unstoppable by showing them how will be read in this book. The way you think has a great role to play concerning what you will become in life. Your thought is what you become. If you cannot change your thought, you cannot change your life. This book was written to encourage the readers on the need to think progressively and the positive effects of progressive thinking. Inclusive in this book is the need for the reader to be well-informed in whatever areas in business, career, or community they find themselves. The sure path to failure is when a man is ignorant and yet rejects every opportunity to obtain relevant knowledge. If you know your assignment, you will know what your needs are. Where you will get to in life is determined by your assignment. Reading this book will open ways for readers on how to recognize individual assignments and how to work in fulfilling the assignment rather than wasting time in doing what they were not called to do. Time is such a commodity that when spent can never be recovered. This book encourages readers to rise to their various challenges and reminds the readers of the importance of time management. Overall, this book serves as the GPS to navigate through the basic challenges of life and as a daily life devotional and motivational tool that encourages people to face and overcome the daily life challenges. Many of these reasons and more to be discovered as you read on the book are inclusive. I strongly believe the confidence needed to believe in yourself and instinct to work on your personal dream will be developed as you read the book.

The Epistemology of Desire and the Problem of Nihilism by Allan Hazlett Pdf

Most people have wondered whether anything really matters, some have temporarily thought that nothing really matters, and some philosophers have defended the view that nothing really matters. However, if someone thinks that nothing matters--if they are a "nihilist about value"--then it seems that it is irrational for them to care about anything. It seems that nihilism about value mandates total indifference. This is the "problem of nihilism" Allan Hazlett addresses in The Epistemology of Desire and the Problem of Nihilism. Hazlett argues that the problem of nihilism arises because desire--and thus caring--is a species of evaluation that admits of irrationality. This contradicts the influential Humean view that desire does not admit of irrationality, which has a ready solution to the problem of nihilism: since desire does not admit of irrationality, it cannot be irrational to care about something that you believe does not matter. However, following G.E. Anscombe, Hazlett argues that desire has the same relationship to goodness as belief has to truth: just as truth is the accuracy condition for belief, goodness is the accuracy condition for desire. This reveals desire as an appropriate target of epistemological inquiry, in the same way that belief is an appropriate target of epistemological inquiry. Desires can amount to knowledge (in the same way that beliefs can amount to knowledge) and, crucially for the problem of nihilism, desire admits of irrationality (in the same way that belief admits of irrationality). Nevertheless, although it is obviously irrational to believe something that you believe is not true, Hazlett argues that it is not irrational to desire something you believe is not good, despite the fact that goodness is the accuracy condition for desire. This provides a solution to the problem of nihilism, and shows that nihilism about value can coherently be combined with the anti-Humean view that desire is a species of evaluation.

The Desired Marriage by Lokey Howell IV Pdf

I wrote this book because God told me to. Nobody ever got married with the intentions of getting divorced. Many of us have no idea what to do after the wedding. What does that even look like? What about generational curses? What about demonic warfare? The Bible says that we wrestle NOT against flesh and blood. We hear aEURoefor better or worse,aEUR but what do we do when it gets worse? God has details on what that looks like. The Holy Ghost told me what to say. God never wastes any time, and pain always births purpose. God used all the experiences that I have encountered personally and with people that I have counseled to put together detailed learned lessons. You ever ask God for help, and you want God to be specific? There were things that I went through that I had no control over, and there were times when I ignored GodaEUR(tm)s warnings. Do you follow your heart or your head? This is why the title is the Desired MarriageaEUR"to help you have the marriage that God has designed for you, the relationship that you desire that can lead to the marriage, how during the relationship both of you can work on things that can better prepare you for later. IaEUR(tm)ve seen small things that could have been fixed, but some didnaEUR(tm)t know how this could end the relationship or marriage. They just didnaEUR(tm)t know how to go about things. This book will push you to your potential and challenge you to be the best you that you can be. The person you are married to deserves a better version of you. This book will help you deal with friction between the person that you have a child/children with. The Bible tells us to walk by faith and not by sight. God had you in mind when He created this book.

Themes from G. E. Moore by Susana Nuccetelli,Gary Seay Pdf

These sixteen original essays, whose authors include some of the world's leading philosophers, examine themes from the work of the Cambridge philosopher G. E. Moore (1873-1958), and demonstrate his considerable continuing influence on philosophical debate. Part I bears on epistemological topics, such as scepticism about the external world, the significance of common sense, and theories of perception. Part II is devoted to themes in ethics, such as Moore's open question argument, his non-naturalism, utilitarianism, and his notion of organic unities.

This collection is based on the required reading list of Yale Department of Classics. Originally designed for students, this anthology is meant for everyone eager to know more about the history and literature of this period, interested in poetry, philosophy and rhetoric of Ancient Rome. Latin literature is a natural successor of Ancient Greek literature. The beginning of Classic Roman literature dates to 240 BC. From that point on, Latin literature would flourish for the next six centuries. Latin was the language of the ancient Romans, but it was also the lingua franca of Western Europe throughout the Middle Ages. Consequently, Latin Literature outlived the Roman Empire and it included European writers who followed the fall of the Empire, from religious writers like Aquinas, to secular writers like Francis Bacon, Baruch Spinoza, and Isaac Newton. This collection presents all the major Classic Roman authors, including Cicero, Virgil, Ovid and Horace whose work intrigues and fascinates readers until this day. Content: Plautus: Aulularia Amphitryon Terence: Adelphoe Ennius: Annales Catullus: Poems and Fragments Lucretius: On the Nature of Things Julius Caesar: The Civil War Sallust: History of Catiline's Conspiracy Cicero: De Oratore Brutus Horace: The Odes The Epodes The Satires The Epistles The Art of Poetry Virgil: The Aeneid The Georgics Tibullus: Elegies Propertius: Elegies Cornelius Nepos: Lives of Eminent Commanders Ovid: The Metamorphoses Augustus: Res Gestae Divi Augusti Lucius Annaeus Seneca: Moral Letters to Lucilius Lucan: On the Civil War Persius: Satires Petronius: Satyricon Martial: Epigrams Pliny the Younger: Letters Tacitus: The Annals Quintilian: Institutio Oratoria Juvenal: Satires Suetonius: The Twelve Caesars Apuleius: The Metamorphoses Ammianus Marcellinus: The Roman History Saint Augustine of Hippo: The Confessions Claudian: Against Eutropius Boethius: The Consolation of Philosophy Plutarch: The Rise and Fall of Roman Supremacy: Romulus Poplicola Camillus Marcus Cato Lucullus Fabius Crassus Coriolanus Cato the Younger Cicero

Today’s society is making great leaps in its effort to obtain ever more and ever more specific know-how in various specialties, with the consequence that the structures of today’s companies are become increasingly complex. This in turn leads to problems at the points of interface, which calls for a comprehensive approach to solutions.Creating Desired Futures defines design a creative, analytical method to develop and explore alternative solutions to complex problems, and it shows that design is particularly well suited to the business world’s current need for innovative strategies. In twenty-four essays by designers, architects, and representatives of large companies such as Nike and Shell, the book shows how such a design-based approach can help define, assess, and solve problems for companies. It presents not only specific strategies from actual practice but also innovative approaches from the world of corporate consulting. Essays by researchers and teachers discuss theoretical aspects of the subject "Design Thinking." Michael Shamiyeh is a practicing architect with his own firm (Shamiyeh Associates) and also founder and direction of the DOM (Design—Organisation—Media) Research Laboratory at the Kunstuniversität Linz. He works on the relevance of creative, analytical approaches in architectural thinking to solve complex problems in the area of Strategic Business Thinking and Innovation. Shamiyeh has received numerous awards, including the Innovation Prize (2008) of the Austrian Federal Ministry for Science and Research and well as the Future Award (ZuP, 2003) and the Award for Entrepreneurship (2000), both awarded by the Austrian government.

Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle Pdf

Aristotle's "Nicomachean Ethics" is considered to be one of the most important treatises on ethics ever written. In an incredibly detailed study of virtue and vice in man, Aristotle examines one of the most central themes to man, the nature of goodness itself. In Aristotle's "Nicomachean Ethics," he asserts that virtue is essential to happiness and that man must live in accordance with the "doctrine of the mean" (the balance between excess and deficiency) to achieve such happiness.

Searchlights from the Word by G. Campbell Morgan Pdf

1188 sermon suggestions -- One from every chapter in the Bible. Morgan's expositions sparkle as they enhance Bible texts from every chapter in the Bible. Concise and delightfully free of redundancy, these selections reveal the master expositor's keen, analytical insight into God's Word. To encourage preachers and Bible teachers to develop their own sermon and lesson themes creatively, the author mentions that these are sermon suggestions -- not sermons or sermon outlines. He intentionally left the notes untitled, "preferring to let the text of Scripture be their only caption." These penetrating truths, firmly anchored in Scripture, are best described by G. Campbell Morgan himself: On every page of...the "God-breathed Writings" there are many thoughts which stretch out like long, clear arms of light across the darkness, discovering things which otherwise were hidden, and often illuminating wider areas than those of the immediate context. They are searchlights. From the multitude of these, I have selected one in each chapter of the Bible. Perhaps the work will also serve to illustrate a method of showing how focal points of radiating light gather their radiance from the context.
