Geld
by Dada BhagwanGeld hat in unserem Leben eine eigene Bedeutung. Die Welt betrachtet Geld und Reichtum als eines der wichtigsten Dinge im Leben. Die Menschen haben mehr Liebe zum Geld, weil es in allem, was sie tun, benötigt wird. Deshalb gibt es überall auf der Welt einen Kampf um mehr Geld, durch ethische oder unethische Mittel. Die Menschen fühlen sich durch die ungleiche Verteilung von Geld und Reichtum besorgt. In dieser gefährlichen Ära des Kaliyug ist es sehr schwierig, in Geldfragen ethisch und ehrlich zu bleiben. Dieses Buch über die Welt des Geldes zeigt die Sicht von Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, dem Gnani Purush (den Erleuchteten). Er hat seine Ansichten über Geld, Wohltätigkeit, und den Einsatz von Geld geteilt. Entsprechend seiner Sicht ist Geld die Belohnung für das gute Karma eines Menschen aus seinem vergangenen Leben. Reichtum kommt zu dir, wenn du andere unterstützt, sonst nicht. Reichtum kommt zu jenen, die den Wunsch haben zu teilen. Mangelndes Verständnis über die Wissenschaft von Geld hat die Gier nach Geld aufrechterhalten, welche dann zu einem weltlichen Leben nach dem anderen führen (Avatare).

Gender and Time Use in a Global Context
by Rachel Connelly Ebru KongarThis edited volume uses a feminist approach to explore the economic implications of the complex interrelationship between gender and time use. Household composition, sexuality, migration patterns, income levels, and race/ethnicity are all considered as important factors that interact with gender and time use patterns. The book is split in two sections: The macroeconomic portion explores cutting edge issues such as time poverty and its relationship to income poverty, and the macroeconomic effects of recession and austerity; while the microeconomic section studies topics such as differences by age, activity sequencing, and subjective well-being of time spent. The chapters also examine a range of age groups, from the labor of school-age children to elderly caregivers, and analyze time use in Argentina, Australia, Canada, China, Finland, India, Korea, South Africa, Tanzania, Turkey, and the United States. Each chapter provides a substantial introduction to the academic literature of its focus and is written to be revealing to researchers and accessible to students and policymakers.

Gender Equality in a Global Perspective (Routledge Advances in Management and Business Studies #68)
by Snjezana Vasiljevic Anders Ortenblad Raili MarlingGender Equality in a Global Perspective looks to discuss whether Gender Equality can be adopted as it has been defined in international documents anywhere, or whether it needs to be adapted in a more local context; discuss which factors and perspectives need to be taken into account when adapting Gender Equality to specific contexts; suggest research approaches for studies on whether a universal (Western) concept of Gender Equality fits in certain specific contexts; and finally suggests challenges to the existing interpretation of Gender Equality (e.g., theory of intersectionality); and the development of legal and policy framework. This book is situated within the tradition of comparative gender studies. While most other such books take up and compare various ways of implementing (or not implementing) gender equality, this book studies and compares whether or not (and to what extent) a specific definition of Gender Equality (GE) could be adopted by various nations. Thus, all chapter contributors will engage with the same definition of GE, which will be presented within the book, and discuss the possibilities and constrains related to applying such a definition in their particular national context. The readers will learn about the problems of applying a universal concept of Gender Equality and the possible reasons for and modes of adapting Gender Equality to different contexts. Gender Equality in a Global Perspective looks to maintain a critical and reflexive stance towards the issues raised and will seek to present multiple perspectives and open-ended answers. As such it hopes to contribute to the international discussion of human rights more broadly and Gender Equality specifically. The intended audience is not limited only to but will include policy makers, scholars and students with an interest in Gender issues, Organizational Theory, Political Science, Human Development, Policy Analysis, Globalization and other management sub-disciplines.

La Generacian de La Undacima Hora
by Daniel CalvetiThe Eleventh Hour Generation is our second book. It is filled with teaching, encouragement and help for those who wish to richly grow in their Christian life. I have described a secret for those who have developed the ability to wait on God. Part of this book's content has been shared with those in the countries I have visited and they have been blessed by what they heard. The content is designed to be used with all types of people. Every chapter ends with one of the songs (in written form) from the album "In Peace". This encourages those who are reading to purchase the album so that they can hear the songs which have given them so much strength through reading the lyrics. The art in the book is very similar to the CD "In Peace" so that people recognize that they are sharing the same message. They see that it is the same Daniel - whether they are listening to his music or reading his words. This book will be available for purchase on April 26, 2008. It is being published by Editorial Vida. I have some ideas about how to promote the book that I would like to share with you.
Generally Speaking: A Memoir by the First Woman Promoted to Three-star General in the United States Army
by Claudia J. KennedyWhen Claudia Kennedy retired from the United States Army in June 2000, she had made history by becoming the Army's first woman three-star general. The highest-ranking female officer of her time, she was Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence, overseeing 45,000 soldiers worldwide. Now a military analyst for NBC News, General Kennedy describes her thirty-two-year career, which spanned a time of monumental transformation for the military. She tells how -- just after the Army began to allow women officers to command men -- she was placed in charge of a rebellious, out-of-control company where she restored order and respect. She shows us the daunting challenges she faced over the years, from the DMZ in South Korea to the offices of the Pentagon. And she reveals how one of our most revered and misunderstood institutions really operates...as we meet a superlative leader who both witnessed groundbreaking changes in the Army and helped make them.

As with any type of stress, eco-anxiety can lead to lead to burnout, avoidance, or a disturbance of daily functioning. In Generation Dread, Britt Wray seamlessly merges scientific knowledge with emotional insight to show how these intense feelings are a healthy response to the troubled state of the world. The first crucial step toward becoming an engaged steward of the planet is connecting with our climate emotions, seeing them as a sign of humanity, and learning how to live with them. We have to face and value eco-anxiety, Wray argues, before we can conquer the deeply ingrained, widespread reactions of denial and disavowal that have led humanity to this alarming period of ecological decline.It&’s not a level playing field when it comes to our vulnerability to the climate crisis, she notes, but as the situation worsens, we are all on the field—and unlocking deep stores of compassion and care is more important than ever. Weaving in insights from climate-aware therapists, critical perspectives on race and privilege in this crisis, ideas about the future of mental health innovation, and creative coping strategies, Generation Dread brilliantly illuminates how we can learn from the past, from our own emotions, and from each other to survive—and even thrive—in a changing world.

The first step toward becoming a steward of the planet is connecting with our climate emotions—seeing them as a sign of our humanity and empathy and learning how to live with them. Britt Wray, a scientist and expert on the psychological impacts of the climate crisis, brilliantly weaves together research, insight from climate-aware therapists, and personal experience, to illuminate how we can connect with others, find purpose, and thrive in a warming, climate-unsettled world.
