by Peter GreenbergThe author of the New York Times bestseller The Travel Detective brings you insider travel secrets only pilots and flight attendants know. Pilots are notoriously frugal, and flight attendants are underpaid and on a budget. They may hit one city four to six times a month, but they are there for only twenty-four hours (or even less) each time, so they always know where to go to get the best value for their money. In The Travel Detective Flight Crew Confidential you'll find: * great shopping (furniture in Atlanta, silk in Bangkok, leather in São Paolo) * great services (medical care in Paris and inexpensive manicures in Tokyo) * great food and drink (hidden ethnic restaurants in London, and the bars with the best attitude and cheapest drinks in Key West) * secrets to navigating the world's airports during layovers * what to do and what never to do, what to seek and what to avoid. You get tips in crew members' own words--good, bad, or ugly--that you won't find anywhere else. Opinionated, often controversial, but always helpful, The Travel Detective Flight Crew Confidential is a resource no one who flies can afford to be without.

The Big Secret for the Small Investor: A New Route to Long-term Investment Success
by Joel GreenblattWhen it comes to investing in the stock market, investors have plenty of options: 1. They can do it themselves. Trillions of dollars are invested this way.(Of course, the only problem here is that most people have no idea how to analyze and choose individual stocks. Well, not really the only problem. Most investors have no idea how to construct a stock portfolio, most have no idea when to buy and sell, and most have no idea how much to invest in the first place.) 2. They can give it to professionals to invest. Trillions of dollars are invested this way. (Unfortunately most professionals actually underperform the market averages over time. In fact, it may be even harder to pick good professional managers than it is to pick good individual stocks.) 3. They can invest in traditional index funds. Trillions of dollars are also invested this way. (The problem is that investing this way is seriously flawed--and almost a guarantee of subpar investment returns over time.) 4. They can read The Big Secret for the Small Investor and do something else. Not much is invested this way. Yet... Let top hedge fund manager, Columbia business school professor, former Fortune 500 chairman and New York Times bestselling author, Joel Greenblatt, take you on a journey that will reveal the Big Secret for both individual and professional investors. Based on path-breaking new research, find out how anyone can beat the market, the index funds and the experts by following a new approach that relies on the principles of value investing, common sense and quantitative discipline. Along the way, learn where "value" comes from, how markets work, and what really happens on Wall Street. By journey's end, small investors (and even not-so-small investors) will have found their way to some excellent new investment choices.

¿Por qué algunos swamis son gordos?
by Ava Greene“¿Por qué algunos swamis son gordos?” es un acercamiento informal a la búsqueda de la verdad. Iluminación y verdad —¿qué son y dónde están? W. M. Raebeck, instructora de yoga californiana, lleva su alma hacia una búsqueda que es tanto espontánea como agonizante. Sus vociferaciones de media noche —que incluyen realizaciones lúcidas, preguntas cósmicas, y desvíos extravagantes— nos guían con facilidad. Y aún así, el “amanecer” metafísico que tanto anhela, se mantiene lejos de su alcance. No es hasta que Raebeck, con impotencia, admite que no está llegando a ningún lugar, que una verdadera calma se instala en ella. Es entonces cuando se tropieza con la escena de su búsqueda: esa entrega (desde nuestros propios diseños) puede ser el camino más directo, mientras que intentarlo demasiado puede llevar a más de lo mismo. “¿Por qué algunos swamis son gordos?” es una mirada no tan seria hacia lo sagrado. Te perderás y te encontrarás en la escritura pura y enérgica de W. M. Raebeck. Su candor te acerca hacia tu voz interior. Y su tracción valiente no deja de traerte al momento presente, la experiencia escurridiza que más importa. Fragmento: La "iluminación", es solo una herramienta. Lo que haces con ella, cómo la usas para hacer la paz, cómo sirves al universo, ese es el próximo paso. Algunas personas no tienen que esforzarse para hacer estas cosas. Como lanzar timidamente la pelota sobre la cerca, sus vidas se tiñen con esa devoción desde el principio —pescadores griegos, cultivadores de arroz en Indonesia, esos que no pierden ni un minuto, se levantan con el sol y realizan el trabajo del día, de manera cíclica como la naturaleza. Avanzan inocentemente por el calendario, década tras década, se casan, son padres, envejecen, y luego mueren; lanzan la pelota fuera de la zona de juego con el primer golpe; caminan por las bases. No se sienten ni cansados ni parte del problema. En algún mom

In Pursuit of Wild Edibles: A Forager's Tour
by Jeffrey GreeneToday we care about the source of our food as much as the preparation, so it is no surprise that foodies have discovered wild edibles. From the most upscale restaurants in New York to humble farm stays in Europe, chefs and restaurant-goers alike are seeking pleasure in food found in the wild. In Pursuit of Wild Edibles: A Forager's Tour tells the story of one man passionate about finding wild edibles and creating recipes to highlight their unique flavors. An American expatriate, poet, and gourmet living in France, Jeffrey Greene has scoured the fields, rivers, and beaches of Europe and his native New England in search of foods ranging from puffballs and periwinkles to stone pine nuts and gooseneck barnacles. For many, foraging is the latest trend in foodie culture, but for Greene this journey stretches back to his childhood, when his parents fled New York City to a shack-like house in rural Connecticut. Convinced they could live off the land, the family raised goats, planted gardens, gathered seafood at the nearby coast, and foraged for food from the woods. Inspired by these childhood experiences, Greene and his wife, Mary, bought and restored an old priory in rural Burgundy. Surrounded by forests, they learned to identify mushrooms and greens, and devoted themselves to inventing recipes for them. Thus began a pursuit that took Greene to the Polish Carpathians, the Appennines overlooking the Ligurian coast, the shores of Normandy and Brittany, and to Plymouth, Massachusetts, where the Pilgrims eked out their first winter in near starvation. Greene's captivating book offers experienced foragers and novices alike an extensive sampling of his own recipes and a chance to come along with him on his international adventures. From razor clams and wild sea urchins, to young nettles and dandelion greens, to wild strawberries and cherries, Greene showcases the beauty of what one can cook up in a truly wild recipe.
Essentials of Communication Skill and Skill Enhancement: A Primer for Students and Professionals
by John O. GreeneFor those who wish to learn or teach the tools of skillful communication, this book provides concrete insight into what makes a person a successful communicator and guides readers in ways to improve their own communication skills and those of others.

Written in an accessible style, chapter highlights include an engaging review of the research on the practical implications of communication skills in our professional and personal lives. The nature of communication skill and issues in skill assessment are examined. Particular attention is given to understanding sources of communication-skill deficits and the design of effective communication-skill training programs. A final chapter examines the roles of technology, cross-cultural interaction, and aging as they relate to communication skill. This book is written for students and professionals in fields such as human resources, sales, training, counseling, customer relations, education, health-care, and the ministry, with application for courses in professional communication, applied communication, and communication skills at the undergraduate, advanced professional degree, and continuing education levels.

Are You Praying for the Wrong Thing?: Learning to Ask What God Wants for You, Not Just What You Want
by Travis GreeneThe Bible tells us to pray continually and without ceasing, but what happens when we're waiting for God but discover He's waiting for us? In his first book, pastor and recording artist Travis Greene guides the reader to apply Biblical truths for a fulfilled life.Praying and waiting for God to answer can be confusing.

Pastor and Grammy–nominated recording artist Travis Greene issues a challenge and asks us to examine our prayers--Are we praying for the right thing?

Using Biblical examples, Travis invites readers to reconsider our prayers andnavigate beyond feeling trapped to thriving in God&’s purposes;learn to use what's left instead of focusing on what was lost;be willing to forgive, wait, and work as God allows; andbelieve in God's miracles while being a faithful steward of what He has already provided.Sometimes what happens next depends on the choices made right now. And sometimes God has something else in mind for us--something we might never have imagined, or in a way we might not have imagined it! It's possible to press forward into a life filled with joy and expectation for the future! Like the widow who used the oil she had at hand, by using what God has already supplied, Travis encourages the readers that they may be closer to enjoying God's promises than they realize.
