This work digs into many questions with no firm answers. Simply reviewing the table of contents will show the many different questions that are looked into. In addition, there is additional history involved that may not be common knowledge to everybody. People have said I just love Joseph Smith and yet why? Did he break the law repeatedly, as is shown in this work? Was he morally correct? Did he engage in sexual unions with women who were married to other men at the same time? Did he simply copy other men in his area who claimed to have revelations from God? Why is his story of God appearing to him very similar to other mens claims that were already published in his own hometown? Did he really translate gold plates? Why did he deny he practiced polygamy while he was actually living in polygamy at the time?

Last of the True Irish

By: Larry J. Hoe?ing

Ms. Ahearne, You are, no doubt, surprised at receiving this unexpected message. So starts an intriguing letter promising great changes for Callie Ahearne. Texas wasn't big enough. She's out of cash, out of work, and out on her own, but she's big on adventure and flies to Ireland on little more than a promise and a prayer to meet her Irish benefactor, who believes she is the last of her kind, descended of an ancient Irish race. She thinks he's crazy, but is willing to listen as long as he is footing the bills. When his latest ruse to unlock her secrets goes bad, a helicopter accident sends Callie and two others crashing into Ancient Ireland, where she must bargain with a powerful woman who holds the key to their safe return. Now, Callie finds herself in the midst of a struggle for Ireland's destiny, joining an Irish clan fighting the invading Oliver Cromwell, and falling for the very man whose father she must kill to fulfill her end of the bargain.

Managing to Make a Difference

How to Engage, Retain, and Develop Talent for Maximum Performance

By: Larry Sternberg,Kim Turnage

A practical, real-world training manual for mid-level management Managing to Make a Difference presents a leadership guide for those in the middle. The C-suite has a wealth of resources for leadership guidance, but middle managers face a quandary: often given little guidance on how to excel, they are also under enormous pressure to do a variety of things other than "lead." This book provides much-needed tools and techniques for building a high-performing team—without letting your other duties suffer. Organized around a coherent philosophy and based on solid research, the discussion offers a roadmap to engagement, talent development, and excellence in management. From difficult situations and organizational challenges to everyday motivation and inspiration, these techniques help middle managers achieve the goals of their organization while empowering their workers to achieve their own. Talent development is probably not your full-time job—yet it drives the engagement that results in high performance. This book shows you how to hit the "sweet spot" of middle management, with a host of tools and strategies to help you help your team shine. Motivate, inspire, and lead your team with confidence Manage through challenges and overcome obstacles Develop key talent and maintain high engagement Adopt practical management tools based on substantiated research Most organizations direct the majority of their development resources to the C-suite, but still expect their mid-level managers to attract, engage, retain, and develop talent; but successfully juggling everyday duties while maintaining team performance and leading around roadblocks leaves little room for management planning. Managing to Make a Difference offers the solution in the form of tools, techniques, and practical strategy for a high performing team.

Dangerous Games

Australia at the 1936 Nazi Olympics

By: Larry Writer

Larry Writer has delivered a gem in Dangerous Games.' - Roland Perry, author of Bill the Bastard 'Writer has faithfully recreated the 1936 Olympics - the most controversial in history.' - Harry Gordon, author of Australia and the Olympic Games This is a tale of innocents abroad. Thirty-three athletes left Australia in May 1936 to compete in the Hitler Olympics in Berlin. Believing sporting competition was the best antidote to tyranny, they put their qualms on hold. Anything to be part of the greatest show on earth. Dangerous Games drops us into a front row seat at the 100,000-capacity Olympic stadium to witness some of the finest sporting performances of all time - most famously the African American runner Jesse Owens, who eclipsed the best athletes the Nazis could pit against him in every event he entered. The Australians, with their antiquated training regimes and amateur ethos, valiantly confronted the intensely focused athletes of Germany, the United States and Japan. Behind the scenes was cut- throat wheeling and dealing, defiance of Hitler, and warm friendships among athletes. What they did and saw in Berlin that hot, rainy summer influenced all that came after until their dying days.

A Once Perfect Place

By: Larry Maness

A JAKE EATON MYSTERY New England-based private investigator Jake Eaton and his canine sidekick Watson return in another fast-paced mystery—this time set in the beautiful mountainside town of Winslow, New Hampshire. Mildreth Gibbon Preston's generous decision to bequest 20,000 acres of mountainous forest to the state of New Hampshire in honor of her late husband sets off a series of events that shatters the peace and threatens the prosperity of a lovely New England town. The aerial surveyor whom Mrs. Preston hires to map the pristine property mysteriously disappears, and Eaton is called in by the elderly woman to unravel what he thinks will be a quick and easy missing-persons case. Jake has second thoughts, however, when his investigation reveals the undercurrents of a sinister plot involving dirty politics, laundered payoffs, and worst of all, the deadly threat of toxic waste dumping. Then, a slick, senior executive from a company that is thought of by the public as the country's most innovative manager of toxic waste tries to put Jake on the corporate payroll, the PI realizes that the stakes are higher than he ever imagined. Ultimately, if the conspiracy goes unexposed, it will threaten not only the environmental health and well-being of Winslow and its surroundings, but much of New England. And the race is on. Jake must unravel the tangled skein of deceit and treachery before the evidence, and the witnesses, are eliminated forever.

Fred Barton and the Warlords' Horses of China

How an American Cowboy Brought the Old West to the Far East

By: Larry Weirather

In the years before World War I, Montana cowboy Fred Barton was employed by Czar Nicholas II to help establish a horse ranch--the largest in the world--in Siberia to supply the Russian military. Barton later assembled a group of American rodeo stars and drove horses across Mongolia for the war-lords of northern China, creating a 250,000 acre ranch in Shanxi Province. Along the way, Barton became part of an unofficial U.S. intelligence network in the Far East, bred a new type of horse from Russian, Mongolian and American stock and promoted the lifestyle of the open range cowboy. Returning to America, he married one of the wealthiest widows in the Southwest and hobnobbed with Western film stars at a time when Hollywood was constructing the modern myth of the Old West, just as open range cowboy life was disappearing.

A Treasury of Latter-Day Saint Letters

By: Larry E. Morris

What did David O. McKay say about the theory of evolution, or George Albert Smith about Saints thinking for themselves? Why did Relief Society president Eliza R. Snow and others write a heartfelt letter of appreciation to the governor of the Utah territory? With fifteen new letters, this revised edition of A Treasury of Latter-day Saint Letters answers these and other intriguing questions through the words of early Church figures, from apostles to Joseph Smith's relatives. Historian Larry Morris, formerly with the Ensign and the Joseph Smith Papers, explains the historical context of each epistle and presents the text of the letter itself. Preserving the exact words and spelling of the writer, this inspiring and thought-provoking volume offers a glimpse into the personal lives and candid feelings of a host of prominent Church members--a rare view not often seen from the pulpit or in history books.

Buffalo Girls

A Novel

By: Larry McMurtry

A strange old woman caked in Montana mud pens a letter to her darling daughter back East—the writer's name is Martha Jane, but her friends call her Calamity... I am the Wild West, no show about it. I was one of the people who kept it wild. Larry McMurtry returns to the territory of his Pulitzer Prize–winning masterwork, Lonesome Dove, to sing the song of Calamity Jane's last ride. In a letter to her daughter back East, Martha Jane is not shy about her own importance. Martha Jane—better known as Calamity—is just one of the handful of aging legends who travel to London as part of Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show in Buffalo Girls. As he describes the insatiable curiosity of Calamity's Indian friend No Ears, Annie Oakley's shooting match with Lord Windhouveren, and other highlights of the tour, McMurtry turns the story of a band of hardy, irrepressible survivors into an unforgettable portrait of love, fellowship, dreams, and heartbreak.

Screenplays and scripts from the playwright of The Normal Heart. “A valuable showcase of an important writer’s early career.”—The Bay Area Reporter Larry Kramer has been described by Susan Sontag as “one of America’s most valuable troublemakers.” As Frank Rich writes in his Foreword to this collection of writings for the screen and stage, “his plays are almost journalistic in their observation of the fine-grained documentary details of life . . . that may well prove timeless.” The title work, the Oscar-nominated screenplay for Women in Love, is a movie “as sensuous as anything you’ve probably ever seen on film” (The New York Times). The screenplay is accompanied by Kramer’s reflections on the history of the production, sure to be of interest to any student of film. This volume also includes several early plays, Sissies’ Scrapbook, A Minor Dark Age, and the political farce Just Say No, illuminating the development of one of our most important literary figures. “Since his screenplay for Women in Love, Kramer has been a prophet of psychic health and catastrophe among us.” (from The American Academy of Arts and Letters citation). Women in Love “A visual stunner and very likely the most sensual film ever made.”—New York Daily News “Throughout Larry Kramer’s literate scenario, the Lawrentian themes blaze and gutter. The sooty mind-crushing coal mines that Lawrence knew like the back of his hand are re-created in all their malignance. The annealing quality of sex is exhibited in the most erotic—and tasteful—lust scenes anywhere in contemporary film.”—Time

The Barsoom Project

A Dream Park Novel

By: Larry Niven,Steven Barnes

The Barsoom Project is the direct sequel to 1981's Dream Park. Eviane's first visit to the-state-of-art amusement arena Dream Park ended in disaster: the special effects had seemed more real than life... until the holograms she was shooting with live ammunition turned out to be solid flesh and blood... and very, very dead. Haunted by the past, rebounding from a lengthy spell in a mental hospital, she has returned to Dream Park to exorcise a nightmare that has become reality. But in Dream Park, nothing is what it seems. The Inuit mythology controlling the images is part of a "Fat Ripper Special" designed to implant new behavioral memes. The players are struggling against the game master, one another, and their own demons. And there is a killer who wants to ensure Eviane never regains her memory...noo matter what it costs. Blending together hard science fiction with topical RPG-like fantasy games, The Barsoom Project is SF at the cutting edge and a classic creation from two of the genre's most beloved writers. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Addiction Therapy and Treatment

A Systems Approach

By: Larry Fritzlan, LMFT,Avis Rumney, LMFT

Addiction is a national mental and medical health crisis, responsible for untold costs to society and severe suffering to innumerable people. Yet addiction treatment, as it is now practiced, fails half the time. The current treatment approach has changed little in the last 80 years and is a hodgepodge of often shady treatment approaches. This book presents a radically different addiction treatment paradigm, based on science, evidence and best practices, and has a success rate approaching 100% when followed closely. This model should profoundly upend the current addiction treatment industry. Nearly every addict lives in a social system--a family, workplace or community--that enables and supports, often unconsciously, the addict's addiction. Instead of the current addict-focused approach, this model extends treatment to the entire support system, starting treatment with the concerned family members. This model also proposes a single provider, the family recovery therapist, who manages treatment for the addict and the family from the first phone call through the first year of continuous sobriety. This book offers simple recommendations to both addiction treatment providers and family members impacted by this disease. It serves as a beacon of hope for families.

Essential Skills in Family Therapy, Third Edition

From the First Interview to Termination

By: JoEllen Patterson,Lee Williams,Todd M. Edwards,Larry Chamow,Claudia Grauf-Grounds

This book focuses on students, a pragmatic approach to treatment, regard for multidisciplinary perspectives, and respect for the influence of families on clients. Chapter 1 identifies concerns that new therapists frequently have, such as building confidence in their clinical work. Chapters 2-6 follow the usual time sequence of therapy--from initial contact with clients, to comprehensive assessment, to treatment planning and intervention. Chapters 7-10 deal with specific clinical situations based on presenting problems and the nature of client families. We examine major issues and approaches for working with children and adolescents, older adults, couples, and families that are struggling with serious mental illness. Chapter 11 highlights some common obstacles all therapists encounter, and provides concrete ideas on how to get unstuck when treatment is not progressing. Chapter 12 focuses on an often overlooked part of therapy--termination. In Chapter 13, we conclude the book by looking at emerging issues within family therapy"--

Searching for Blue-Eyed Trout

By: Larry Mehelic

This is a collection of short stories written over the last ten years. There are no essays extolling fly-fishing as a healer of mind and body. Neither will you find dry how to/where to details and you won't find a secret fly pattern guaranteed to catch fish on every cast. Instead there are anecdotes, tall tales, and fictional adventures. Some of the stories are humorous. A couple have more in common with science fiction and Mad Magazine than fly-fishing. A few take a healthy swipe at fly-fishing dogma, while a bit of sarcasm drifts in and out of others. All, however, are just yarns meant to entertain the reader.

Destination Hollywood

The Influence of Europeans on American Filmmaking

By: Larry Langman

During the first part of the twentieth century, Hollywood experienced an influx of European filmmakers seeking new lives in America. With them came unique perspectives and styles from their home countries that forever affected American film production. Well-known talents like Charlie Chaplin, Billy Wilder, and Alfred Hitchcock all made America their filmmaking base, as did other less known but equally influential filmmakers. This is the complete guide to directors, screenwriters, artistic directors, cinematographers, and composers of European birth who made at least one film in the United States. The book is arranged by country, and each chapter begins with that country's cinema history. Each filmmaker from that country is then given a separate entry, including biographical and professional highlights, and synopses and analyses of their better-known films. Photographs from films that featured European talent are included. An index of names and titles allows for easy reference, and a complete bibliography is also included.

Massachusetts Disasters

True Stories of Tragedy and Survival

By: Larry Pletcher

Facing Unimaginable Events With Courage It's only human to be fascinated by disasters--and uplifted by reports of survival in the face of overwhelming circumstances. This book takes you back to Massachusetts' most catastrophic events, vividly re-creating the moments that changed the state forever. The twenty-five true stories presented here are a chilling reminder to expect the unexpected. From the 1874 Mill River flood and wreck of the City of Columbus, in 1884, to the Cocoanut Grove fire, in 1942, and the Amtrak derailment of 1990, Massachusetts has been the site of some of the nation's most dramatic moments. Each account in this book reveals not only the circumstances surrounding the disaster and the magnitude of the devastation, but also the courage and ingenuity displayed by those who survived and the heroism of those who helped others, often risking their own lives in rescue efforts.

Texas South Plains War Stories

Interviews with Veterans from World War II to Afghanistan

By: Larry A. Williams,Katherine McLamore

Every veteran has a story to tell--often ones they have not told their own families. But as one vet in this collection of original interviews succinctly said of his combat experiences: "Some things are better left unsaid." Documenting recollections from survivors of World War II, Korea, Vietnam and other conflicts--all residents of the Texas Panhandle--this book presents narratives from men and women whose young lives, for good or ill, were defined by their participation in warfare in service to their country.
