Robert Holmes is one of the leading proponents of nonviolence in the United States, and his influence extends to the rest of the world. However, he has never presented his views on nonviolence in full-length book form. The Ethics of Nonviolence brings together his best essays on the topic, both classic works and more obscure pieces, as well as several important essays that have never been published. Holmes started his career by following Dewey and James, and then turned toward metaethics. The Vietnam War finally led him toward moral problems related to war and violence. For the last forty years he has been a great proponent of nonviolence and pacifism in the style of Tolstoy and Gandhi. If ethics is meant to be more than a purely academic exercise, the theoretical ethics of philosophy must be shown to be relevant to applied morality; the ongoing process of making moral judgments must add value to the world we live in. For Robert Holmes, no aspect of reality is more in need of ethical thinking and reform than the culture of war and violence that cannot be ignored. There are morally viable alternatives to this violence, Holmes argues, and he scrutinizes the sources and implications of such positions. Holmes shows that nonviolence and pacifism can lead us toward a more peaceful and humanely dignified world.

Author of the book "Dev Gadhvi" comes from a very humble family; his dad was a truck driver and mother a housewife. He saw a great deal of struggle since his childhood and lost 13 years of his career to a mediocre mentality. Finally, he could transform his life with help of some very less known millionaire's secrets. He knows the pain of living with a mediocre mindset and loosing precious time. This is the only reason he doesn't want anyone else to loose their precious years. In this book, he shares his learning and his transformation with only single aim, that is to help others transform their lives as well. He has carefully crafted the book only for the people who are looking for that one life changing moment, people who are looking to realize what was missing in their hustle, people who were wanting to know the secrets of how others have become so successful and how they can become too.

YOU and I were born to WIN! Nowhere in our universe does it say that you are a loser. The Bible says that you are "The Apple of God's Eye". God has made you to ride upon the high places of the earth. You deserve the very BEST that our Father has to offer. He wants you to be a "Winner" and to have an abundant life filled with joy. He wants YOU to be happy, healthy, and wise. YOU are the BEST product that the Father has ever produced! You were created in His image and in His class. As a Winner, you expect to win! WINNERS have plans. LOSERS have excuses. WINNERS find the answer. LOSERS seek out the problem. WINNERS are part of the answer. LOSERS are normally the problem. WINNERS say that it is highly possible. LOSERS say that it is definitely impossible. Losers are complainers and whiners. Winners are positive. Each human being is born as a brand new creation.someone who has never existed before.with the capacity to win in life.each person having a unique way of seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, thinking, and doing things. Each has her own unique potentials, capabilities, and limitations. Each is a significant and creative being.creation of God.a real winner. Most people are not 100% winners or 100% losers. We all have "bad hair" days. I have no hair.So, as you can see, I have seen a few bad hair days in my time. However, once a person is on the road to winning, her chances of continuing to win in the game of life are tremendous. Winners have different potentials. Winners do their own thinking. They think for themselves. Winners never play the "helpless" game.nor do they play the "blame" game. They play to win. They assume responsibility for their own lives. Winners are able to love and be loved. Winners have a zest and passion for life. They have energy! They have passion for the things in which they believe. Winners care about the world, the earth, and the environment. They are not isolated from the general concerns of society, but they are concerned and compassionate about improving the quality of life. Winners want to make the world a better place and enjoy life to its fullest! Furthermore, as you are blessed as a Winner, you will have an APPRECIATION for others and a POSITIVE ATTITUDE. You will make commitments and have good communication with others. You will have a greater LOVE, SENSITIVITY, and COMPASSION for others. Your SENSE of HUMOR, PATIENCE, and TOLERANCE for the weaknesses in others will expand. Regardless of where you are in your walk on Planet Earth, being a winner will make you feel good about yourself. You will begin to expand your goals and your horizons. You will invest in your mind and spirit by studying inspirational and motivational books, CDs, and DVDs. Attending the Church of your choice will be very important to you. You will spend quality time with quality people. As a Winner, you will use your time wisely and you will be TEACHABLE. YOU were created to be a "Winner". YOU were made for GREATNESS. You were made to soar like an eagle.not like a chicken in the barnyard eating chicken feed with the hogs. YOU were made for excellence and style. Winning is now part of your life. YOU were created to rule and reign with Christ while on earth.and later in heaven. YOU shall eat in PLENTY and be SATISFIED. You have become a winner because you belong to the family of God. Abundance is YOURS. You will not lack. The Lord is your Shepherd. God has been GOOD to you. He will never let you down. You will never be put to shame (Rom.10:11). God loves you unconditionally. You were born to win. For centuries, "He who had the gold made the rules". That does not work anymore on a permanent basis. Some of the possessors of the gold have gone blind from the glare of their own self-brilliance and self-importance.

The capacity of the arts and the humanities, and of literature in particular, to have a meaningful societal impact has been increasingly undervalued in recent history. Both humanists and scientists have tended to think of the arts as a means to represent the world via imagination. Mack maintains that the arts do not merely describe our world but that they also have the unique and underappreciated power to make us aware of how we can change accustomed forms of perception and action. Mack explores the works of prominent writers and thinkers, including Nietzsche, Foucault, Benjamin, Wilde, Roth, and Zizek, among others, to illustrate how literature interacts with both people and political as well as scientific issues of the real world. By virtue of its distance from the real world-its virtuality-the aesthetic has the capability to help us explore different and so far unthinkable forms of action and thereby to resist the repetition and perpetuation of harmful practices such as stereotyping, stigma, exclusion, and the exertion of violence.

Maxwell's organizations EQUIP and the John Maxwell Leadership Foundation have transformed communities by training more than five million leaders from literally every country in the world. Hoskins's One Hope has transformed the lives of more than one billion children and youth in 120 countries around the globe. Now, for the first time, these two leaders have partnered to write a book about how anyone, anywhere, can transform their world. Offering practical principles based on solid research and real-life experience, the authors teach how to recognize where and how to get started, who to recruit, when to mobilize people, what to do, how to communicate, and how to know when they've really hit the target. This accompanying workbook integrates the power of Maxwell's familiar and engaging leadership communication with the research-based international insights of Hoskins's and One Hope global experience. Transformation is within the reach of anyone who is willing to think, speak, and act in a way that values people and collaborates with them to bring about lasting positive change. This workbook will give them the tools to go through the steps, based on the trade book, to make that happen in their lives.

It was only recently that people began to refer to God, occasionally, as “she.” Is it now possible to re-imagine divine power as a female force deeply related to the changing world? If so, then we can understand the deeper meaning of female images of divine power including depictions such as “The Goddess.” Carol Christ offers a new look at these female images of God in She Who Changes. She shows how many traditional ideas about divine power reject the female body and connection to the natural world. She looks at the work of female theologians in Judaism, Christianity, and various religions that worship "The Goddess" to explore the way in which they are re-imagining both divine and human power as embodied both in a changing world and deeply related to all beings.

What constitutes successful thinking in business? What are the techniques used by some of the top minds in the business world to solve problems and create value? In Diaminds, Mihnea Moldoveanu and Roger Martin, creators of the Integrative Thinking curriculum at the Rotman School of Management, draw upon numerous case studies and interviews - as well as theories and models from cognitive psychology, epistemology, analytic philosophy, and semiotics - to present a new conception of successful intelligence that is immediately applicable to business situations. The 'diamind' (or dialogical mind) is characterized by a number of qualities: the ability to simultaneously hold opposing plans, models, and courses of action in mind while retaining the ability to act (bi-stability), logical depth and informational breadth in one's thinking processes (meliorism), the ability to choose among various representations of the world, the self, and others (choicefulness), and the capacity to think about how to analyse and solve a problem while at the same time thinking about the problem itself (polyphony). The authors discuss these concepts in detail, and provide examples and exercises throughout to encourage readers to examine and re-engineer their own thought patterns to develop these qualities and cultivate their own 'diaminds'.
