13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened In Benghazi
by Mitchell ZuckoffThe harrowing, true account from the brave men on the ground who fought back during the Battle of Benghazi.13 Hours presents, for the first time ever, the true account of the events of September 11, 2012, when terrorists attacked the US State Department Special Mission Compound and a nearby CIA station called the Annex in Benghazi, Libya.

This is their personal account, never before told, of what happened during the thirteen hours of that now-infamous attack.13 Hours sets the record straight on what happened during a night that has been shrouded in mystery and controversy. Written by New York Times bestselling author Mitchell Zuckoff, this riveting book takes readers into the action-packed story of heroes who laid their lives on the line for one another, for their countrymen, and for their country.13 Hours is a stunning, eye-opening, and intense book--but most importantly, it is the truth. The story of what happened to these men--and what they accomplished--is unforgettable.
1–3 John (The Two Horizons New Testament Commentary)
by Thomas Andrew BennettThe letters from John written to churches at the end of the first century CE possess meaningful theological insight for Christians today—in a sense, they were written for us. Working from this standpoint, Thomas Andrew Bennett keeps historical speculation to a minimum and delves into the theological depths of 1–3 John in this commentary. He begins by providing a new translation of the text from the Greek, along with verse-by-verse exegesis, and then moves into an extended reflection on a litany of relevant theological topics, including questions of trinitarianism, creation, faith, atonement, eschatology, salvation, the nature of divine and human love, and the composition of the church. In these pages, readers challenged by Johannine metaphors (&“walking in the light,&” &“children of God,&” etc.) will find clarity, and pastors will find detailed guidance for teaching and preaching. Bennett&’s scholarship is critical but confessional, academic but accessible, and, above all, rooted in a faithful reverence that seeks not to read 1–3 John as a detached outsider to the text, but as the author&’s fellow believer, so that the text&’s theological concerns can be spoken to once again in a fresh and compelling way.
1–3 John: A 12-week Study (Knowing The Bible Ser. #16)
by Michael LeFebvre J. I. Packer Dane C. Ortlund Lane T. DennisThe Knowing the Bible series is a resource designed to help Bible readers better understand and apply God’s Word. These 12-week studies lead participants through books of the Bible and are made up of four basic components: (1) reflection questions help readers engage the text at a deeper level; (2) “Gospel Glimpses” highlight the gospel of grace throughout the book; (3) “Whole-Bible Connections” show how any given passage connects to the Bible’s overarching story of redemption, culminating in Christ; and (4) “Theological Soundings” identify how historic orthodox doctrines are taught or reinforced throughout Scripture. With contributions from an array of influential pastors and church leaders, these gospel-centered studies will help Christians see and cherish the message of God’s grace on every page of the Bible. The books of 1–3 John are full of practical wisdom for the Christian life. John wanted his readers to understand that as they grew in their understanding of their identity as children of God, they ought to grow in love for one another and in obedience to God’s commands. Over the course of 12 weeks, this study helps us see what it looks like to truly love and follow Jesus in a world that “is passing away along with its desires”—a transformed life that comes through knowing the love of God in Jesus Christ. Part of the Knowing the Bible series.
The 13 Key Performance Indicators for Highly Effective Teams
by Allam Ahmed George Siantonas Nicholas SiantonasAn organisation's most important asset is its people. And critical to an organisation's success is the extent to which its people interact effectively – both with each other as team members and with the wider organisation. This is why managing teams has become a key area for a growing number of organisations around the world. While many organisations are world-class at managing their materials and machinery, they fall short in managing the human side of their activities.This book outlines the challenges faced by both team leaders and team members in 21st-century workplaces. It proposes 13 key performance or "team health" indicators for highly effective teams based on research data collected from a large range of industry sectors, team sizes and organisations in the UK. It contributes to the understanding of the nature and functioning of team cohesiveness by describing teamwork as a multi-component variable and identifying the factors that impact on teams and the implications of teamwork for organisations.The book sets out to aid organisations by introducing a Team Performance Diagnostic (TPD) tool. The TPD enables organisations to gain an accurate and detailed insight into the real-time performance of their teams, helps team managers to understand the underlying 'people' issues within the team and how to reach higher levels of team performance quickly. The TPD has been widely used in major multinationals and the UK public sector to pinpoint hard-to-find opportunities to achieve rapid improvements.The research suggests that the use of TPD contributes to more free-flowing feedback both within the team and in the organisation as a whole, and that successful teams are indicative of a healthy organisational culture.This book is an essential guide for senior managers and policy-makers dealing with team effectiveness, and will be highly useful for students of business and management.

13 razones para hablar con tu hijo adolescente
by Maite Nascimento Araitz PetrizanUn libro práctico e imprescindible para saber actuar frente a problemas tan graves como la alimentación, las drogas y las adicciones, el bullying, el ciberacoso, la identidad sexual, la depresión y el suicidio. El éxito mundial de la serie Por 13 razones, basada en la novela homónima de Jay Asher, ha puesto en primera línea un debate permanente: ¿cómo puede el mundo adulto dar respuesta a la explosión vital que supone la adolescencia? El periodo que cubre la adolescencia suele fijarse entre los 11-12 años y los 18-20. Se trata de grupos de edad extremadamente diferentes que, sin embargo, se encuentran separados por una distancia temporal mínima. En un período tan breve se experimentan algunos de los procesos vitales que marcan una vida para siempre. Cambios físicos de toda índole influyen de forma fundamental en el desarrollo del adolescente. Estos cambios suelen generar conflictos y requieren que los padres o personas responsables del adolescente se aproximen a ellos desde una perspectiva adulta con firmeza y determinación. El rendimiento escolar, los amigos, el aspecto físico, la alimentación, la sexualidad, las adicciones o los trastornos mentales son temas que nos afectan a diario. Temas cotidianos que a menudo se tratan de forma superficial, tópica o sencillamente no se tratan. Es necesario aceptar la inestabilidad como algo propio de la adolescencia y comprender que no se trata de establecer relaciones simétricas de igual a igual. Las relaciones con los hijos adolescentes son relaciones asimétricas en las que el adulto debe tener claro que el inmaduro es el adolescente. La construcción de los canales de comunicación se tiene que establecer desde este punto de vista si se quiere intervenir de forma positiva en esa etapa. Hemos de ser conscientes de que, en mayor o menor medida, el choque va a producirse de forma inevitable y es necesario que la respuesta sea de seguridad y consistencia. Es absolutamente necesario saber establecer límites. Los límites deben ser sólidos. Este libro contiene un kit básico para «sobrevivir» a la llegada de la adolescencia y propone, de forma directa y sintética, trece temas clave para comprender y participar mejor de la vida y los cambios de esta etapa.

13 Sharks: The Careers of a Series of Small Royal Navy Ships, from the Glorious Revolution to D-Day
by John D. GraingerJohn D Grainger charts the careers of the thirteen vessels that have served the Royal Navy under the name HMS Shark. Despite the ferocious name, they have all been relatively small vessels including one brigantine, five sloops, one Sixth Rate, a gunvessel, four destroyers and a submarine. Collectively they therefore give a good representation of the various roles of these types, which receive far less attention than larger, more glamorous ships. Furthermore, as the first entered service in 1699 and the last was sunk in 1944 (having the dubious distinction of being the only Allied vessel lost on D-Day), they illustrate the changes and continuities in the Royal Navy and war at sea across almost 250 years. In each case the author considers the origin of the ship, the purpose for which it was designed and employed, its captains and where possible its crew, as well as the activities of the ship itself and its final fate; in addition background information of a general nature is included as a necessary context for those actions.
13 Souls
by Sara De Miguel Jesus M. GonzalezIt is curious that every time someone asks me what I do for a living, and I answer that I am a palliative care psychologist, they automatically change the subject. Almost no one asks me about my work, almost nobody wants to hear about illness, much less death, when the only thing certain in our life is that we will die. My name is Sara, and my greatest learning these years has been that if we listened more to the people who are nearing death, we would help them to die better. And above all, that if we listen more to the people who are nearing death, we would learn to live better.

13 Things That Don't Make Sense: The Most Baffling Scientific Mysteries of Our Time
by Michael BrooksJournalist Brooks reviews the 13 anomalies scientists love most, reaching into the secrets of physics, biology and psychology. He examines why the Pioneer space project goes on, why the universe is unstable, why cold fusion works, whether living beings are more than just bags of chemicals with options, why Mars may or may not have life (depending on the day and the scientist), whether the aliens have landed, how a giant virus started it all, why free will is a farce, who deceives whom in the placebo effect, and why alternative medicine works when it makes no sense to the scientific mind, which, of course, finds more fun with the odd than the proven.

The $13 Trillion Question
by David WesselWhat is the best way for the U.S. Treasury to finance the federal government's huge debt?Everyone talks about the size of the national debt: now at $13 trillion and climbing. Few talk about how the Treasury does the borrowing, even though it is one of the world's largest borrowers. Yet everyone from bond traders to the home-buying public is affected by the Treasury's decisions about whether to borrow short or long term and what types of bonds to sell to investors.In The $13 Trillion Question, Harvard's Robin Greenwood, Sam Hanson, Joshua Rudolph, and Larry Summers argue that the Treasury could save taxpayers money and help the economy by borrowing more short term and less long term. They also argue that the Treasury and the Federal Reserve made a huge mistake in recent years by rowing in opposite directions: while the Fed was buying long-term bonds to push investors into other assets, the Treasury was doing the opposite--selling investors more long-term bonds. The Hoover Institution's John Cochrane joins the discussion by suggesting a series of new and innovative ways for Treasury to finance the debt.Each chapter of The $13 Trillion Question includes responses from a variety of public and private sector experts on how the Treasury does its borrowing. Larry Summers offers concluding comments with a call for the policy community to pay greater attention to debt management. "Debt management is too important to leave to the debt managers," he says.
