      <title>Jeffery Gitomers Little Green Book of Persuasion: How to Speak, Write, Present, Influence, and Sell Your Point of View</title>
      <link>http://www.slingshop.com/product/Jeffery-Gitomers-Little-Green-Book-of-Persuasion-How-to-Speak-Write-Present-Influence-and-Sell-Your-Point-of-View/159884</link>
      <description>Jeffery Gitomers Little Green Book of Persuasion: How to Speak, Write, Present, Influence, and Sell Your Point of View

Following in the bestselling footsteps of Little Red Book of Selling, Little Red Book of Sales Answers, Little Black Book of Connections, and The Little Gold Book of YES! Attitude, Jeffrey Gitomer's The Little Green Book of Getting Your Way digs deep into the 9.5 elements that make persuasion, and getting your way, happen. By breaking down the elements, the reader will begin to understand, take action, become proficient, and then master the ability to persuade. Because persuasion occurs in so many different areas of life and business, Gitomer leads the reader from mental readiness to the principles of getting your way and the power that persuasion offers. He challenges the reader to prepare before they present, to prepare before they try to persuade. He demonstrates how to change a presentation into a performance and shows how this can be done in any environment. But because persuasion most often takes place in business, he draws special emphasis to the reader's ability to write and sell persuasively. The book talks about the persistence that enables winning persuasion. He brings the Benjamin Franklin quote If at first you don't succeed, try, try again to the Gitomer level of You only fail when you decide to quit, and the book ends challenging the reader how to think about excellence and eloquence. It will be up to the reader to take advantage of the opportunity and harness the power.</description>

      <title>True Happiness: Psalms 1 and 107 </title>
      <link>http://www.slingshop.com/product/Crossway-Books-True-Happiness-Psalms-1-and-1-7-/152990</link>
      <description>The purpose and the theme of the Psalms, as it is of the entire Bible, is to reflect on humanity's relationship with their Creator and what He has done for them and their salvation. Here Martyn Lloyd-Jones takes an in-depth look at two psalms that are sure to cause readers to pause and consider their own lives.Psalm 1 addresses our need for the elusive feeling of happiness and reveals the true secret for finding it. As readers understand God's right-eousness and loving-kindness, they sing the song of the redeemed, which is the focus of Psalm 107.In these expository sermons on a life of happiness and praise, this renowned preacher applies his ability to faithfully bring forth God's Word while speaking directly to the hearts of listeners. They are lessons that are as necessary today as they were decades ago, now available to a broad audience.</description>

      <link>http://www.slingshop.com/product/Navpress-Publishing-Group-The-Creator-and-the-Cosmos-How-the-Latest-Scientific-Discoveries-Reveal-God-/152940</link>
      <description>Few of us can venture outside on a clear, dark night and not pause for a silent, reflective look at the stars. For countless centuries people have felt a sense of wonder about the heavens. How did our universe come into being? Has it always been here? Is our existence due to random chance or supernatural design? Is God out there ? If so, what is He like?Traditionally, the church has answered such questions with Scripture, while science has contributed theories and formulas of its own. Torn between a deep respect for church doctrines and an intellectual need for answers that support what their senses are telling them, many Christians have avoided such discussions altogether.Actually, the two sides are no longer that far apart. In The Creator and the Cosmos, astrophysicist Dr. Hugh Ross explains how recent scientific measurements of the universe have clearly pointed to the existence of God. Whether you're looking for scientific support for your faith or new reasons to believe, The Creator and the Cosmos will enable you to see the Creator for yourself.</description>

      <description>Having clear boundaries is essential to a healthy, balanced lifestyle. A boundary is a personal property line that marks those things for which we are responsible. In other words, boundaries define who we are and who we are not. Boundaries impact all areas of our lives: Physical boundaries helps us determine who may touch us and under what circumstances. Mental boundaries give us the freedom to have our own thoughts and opinions. Emotional boundaries help us deal with our own emotions and disengage from the harmful, manipulative emotions of others. Spiritual boundaries help us distinguish God's will from our own and give us renewed awe for our Creator.</description>

      <title>Christ in the Psalms </title>
      <link>http://www.slingshop.com/product/Conciliar-Press-Christ-in-the-Psalms-/152905</link>
      <description>The Psalms run like a golden thread through the beautiful garment of Orthodox worship. In addition to inspiring the public prayer of the church, the Psalms are an indispensable part of the private devotions of all who seek a closer relationship with God. Most important, however, the Psalms point toward the ultimate liberation of humanity from sin, death and despair through Jesus Christ. Father Pat Reardon, drawing on his long experience as an Episcopal, and then as a priest in the Orthodox Church, has produced a work of depth and devotion. He tightly understands that one cannot truly probe the deep meaning of the Psalms unless one understands them in the light of the redemption brought by Christ.</description>

      <link>http://www.slingshop.com/product/Powerhouse-Books-Beyond-Architecture-Marion-Mahony-and-Walter-Burl/152875</link>
      <description>A lasting record of the creativity and the legacy of a remarkable pair of architects, Beyond Architecture presents a holistic view of the lives and work of Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahoney.Encompassing the disciplines of town planning, landscape architecture, interior design, and building design, the Griffins' work spanned thirty years and three continents. These essays by American and Australian scholars address the Griffins' architectural oeuvre -- more than 350 built and unbuilt projects -- as well as the philosophical, ae sthetic, and ideological convictions that shaped their vision.The Griffins' contribution to architecture, particularly in America, has always been somewhat eclipsed by the reputation of Frank Lloyd Wright, for whom they both worked in Chicago. This book, which doubles as an exhibition catalog, consolidates their status as two of the twentieth century's most important American architects.</description>

      <title>Three Plums in One: One for the Money, Two for the Dough, and Three to Get Deadly</title>

      <description>Three Complete Novels, One for the Money, Two for the Dough, and Three to Get Deadly, from the New York Times #1 Bestselling Author, Janet Evanovich! Here's where it all began -- the three novels that first brought us Stephanie Plum, that bounty hunter with attitude who stepped out of Trenton's blue-collar burg and into the heart of America. One for the Money: Stephanie's all grown up and out on her own, living five miles from Mom and Dad and doing her best to sever the world's longest umbilical cord. Her mother is a meddler and her grandmother is a few cans short of a case. Out of work and out of money, Stephanie blackmails her bail-bondsman cousin Vinnie into giving her a try as an apprehension agent. Stephanie knows zilch about the job requirements, but she figures her new pal, el-primo bounty hunter Ranger, can teach her what it takes to catch a crook. Her first assignment: nail Joe Morelli, a former vice cop on the run from a charge of murder one. Morelli's the inamorato who charmed Stephanie out of her virginity at age sixteen. There's still powerful chemistry between them, so the chase is interesting. Two for the Dough: Stephanie takes to the mean streets of Trenton, armed with attitude (not to mention stun guns and defense sprays), to find Kenny Mancuso, who recently shot his best friend and is on the run. Aided by the enigmatic Ranger, who knows a thing or two about bounty hunting, and by her irrepressible Grandma Mazur, Stephanie forms a shaky alliance with her favorite cop, Joe Morelli, for a tumultuous chase through back alleys and Grandma's favorite funeral parlors. Three to Get Deadly: Stephanie is having a bad hair day -- for the whole month of January. She's looking for Mo Bedemier, Trenton's most beloved citizen, who was charged with carrying concealed and skipped bail. To help her, she's got Lula, a former hooker turned file clerk. Big, blonde, and black, Lula's itching to lock up a crook in the trunk of her car. And Morelli, the cop with the slow-burning smile, is acting polite even after Stephanie finds more bodies than the Trenton PD has seen in years. That's a bad sign for sure. Funny and fabulous, Janet Evanovich is at her sparkling best in these three novels that launched a bestselling phenomenon.</description>

      <link>http://www.slingshop.com/product/Jossey-bass-A-New-Kind-of-Christian-A-Tale-of-Two-Friends-on/152857</link>
      <description>A New Kind of Christian's conversation between a pastor and his daughter's high school science teacher reveals that wisdom for life's most pressing spiritual questions can come from the most unlikely sources. This stirring fable captures a new spirit of Christianity-where personal, daily interaction with God is more important than institutional church structures, where faith is more about a way of life than a system of belief, where being authentically good is more important than being doctrinally right, and where one's direction is more important than one's present location. Brian McLaren's delightful account offers a wise and wondrous approach for revitalizing Christian spiritual life and Christian congregations. This is a book that heightens the depths and deepens the peaks. Like all the best things in life, it is not to be entered into lightly, but reverently and in the fear of a God who is waiting for the church to stop asking 'What would Jesus do?' and start asking 'What is Jesus doing?' &amp;mdash; Dr. Leonard Sweet, E. Stanley Jones Chair in Evangelism, Drew University Get ready to wake up your spirit and breath deep. McLaren's A New Kind of Christian is a street-level, lived excursion into this present millennium-a world where ministry by control, condescension, and smug certainty gives way to incarnational faith. &amp;mdash; Sally Morgenthaler, president, SJM Management Co. and author of Worship Evangelism</description>

      <title>Why I Became a Catholic</title>
      <link>http://www.slingshop.com/product/Ignatius-Pr-Why-I-Became-a-Catholic/152847</link>
      <description>Originally written as a personal testimony to his own children on why he became a Catholic, this is a thoughtful and timeless conversion story of Sir Joseph Pope written during the early part of the 20th century. Born on Prince Edward Island, Canada, in 1854 to a family renowned for distinguished service to the Canadian government, Joseph carried on the family tradition as a highly regarded civil servant.Joseph served as the private secretary to Sir John Macdonald, Canada's first prime minister, and then as Undersecretary of State during the government of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Like St. Thomas More, Pope was held in high esteem as a public servant, and he enjoyed the total confidence of prime ministers and governors, all whom sought his advice. He also was a prolific author, including the official biographies of major Canadian historical figures.Amidst this busy public life, Sir Joseph Pope developed a profound spiritual life and a mind always hungry for eternal truth. Raised in a nominal Anglican family, he sensed the inconsistencies and lack of solid authority and doctrinal beliefs in Anglicanism. His persistent, courageous search for the fullness of truth finally led him home to the Catholic Church. Having found the pearl of great price, he wrote this lasting memoir to share with his children, and now all of us, the rich treasure of his Catholic faith.</description>

After taking the reins at GE over 15 years ago, Welch has reshaped the icon of American industry to become a limber global giant of 12 major businesses.

His message has been visionary and progressive: to cut bureaucracy, to have a passion for excellence, to energize, to be open-minded, and to welcome change. GE is now poised to become America's most profitable company.An intensely private man, no other book contains Jack Welch's own voice and imparts a true sense of the man and his beliefs and actions that have made General Electric the world's model company.</description>

      <link>http://www.slingshop.com/product/Charles-River-Media-Designing-3D-Games-That-Sell-/152824</link>
      <description>Aspiring game developers need to know how to develop a game that will really get published. They need step-by-step instructions on how to conceptualize, design, and develop a saleable game, and that's what they'll find here. Written by the developer of Dead Reckoning and Sorcerer, this book teaches developers how to approach game design from the product design viewpoint. Instead of creating a game and then trying to get it published, they'll learn how to look at their game from the publisher and consumer perspective first. What does a game need to make it publishable? What will make it enticing to the target audience? All of these questions will be answered beginning with the brain storming, market research, and team building stages and then moving to the design, creation, and documentation phases. Plus all of the tools needed to create a game are included on the CD.</description>

      <link>http://www.slingshop.com/product/Addison-wesley-Educational-Publishers-Influence-Science-and-Practice/152817</link>
      <description>Influence: Science and Practice is an examination of the psychology of compliance (i.e. uncovering which factors cause a person to say yes to another's request) and is written in a narrative style combined with scholarly research. Cialdini combines evidence from experimental work with the techniques and strategies he gathered while working as a salesperson, fundraiser, advertiser, and other positions, inside organizations that commonly use compliance tactics to get us to say yes . Widely used in graduate and undergraduate psychology and management classes, as well as sold to people operating successfully in the business world, the eagerly awaited revision of Influence reminds the reader of the power of persuasion. Cialdini organizes compliance techniques into six categories based on psychological principles that direct human behavior: reciprocation, consistency, social proof, liking, authority, and scarcity.</description>

      <title>Gaia's Garden: A Guide to Home-Scale Permaculture</title>
      <link>http://www.slingshop.com/product/Chelsea-Green-Publishing-Company-Gaia-s-Garden-A-Guide-to-Home-Scale-Permaculture/152812</link>
      <description>Permaculture is a verbal marriage of permanent and agriculture . Australian Bill Mollison pioneered its development. Key features include: -- use of compatible perennials; -- non-invasive planting techniques; -- emphasis on biodiversity; -- specifically adaptable to local climate, landscape, and soil conditions; -- highly productive output of edibles.Now, picture your backyard as one incredibly lush garden, filled with edible flowers, bursting with fruit and berries, and carpeted w scented herbs and tangy salad greens. The visual impact is of Monet's palette, a wash of color, texture, and hue. But this is no still life. The flowers nurture endangered pollinators. Bright-featured songbirds feed on abundant berries and gather twigs for their nests.The plants themselves are grouped in natural communities, where each species plays a role in building soil, deterring pests, storing nutrients, and luring beneficial insects. And finally, you -- good ol' homo sapiens -- are an integral part of the scene. Your garden tools are resting against a nearby tree, and have a slight patina of rust, because this garden requires so little maintenance. You recline into a hammock to admire your work. You have created a garden paradise.This is no dream, but rather an ecological garden, which takes the principles of permaculture and applies them on a home-scale. There is nothing technical, intrusive, secretive, or expensive about this form of gardening. All that is required is some botanical knowledge (which is in this book) and a mindset that defines a backyard paradise as something other than a carpet of grass fed by MiracleGro.</description>

      <link>http://www.slingshop.com/product/Ecco-Press-Kitchen-Confidential-Adventures-in-the-Culinary-Underbelly/152792</link>
      <description>Last summer, The New Yorker published Chef Bourdain's shocking, Don't Eat Before Reading This. Bourdain spared no one's appetite when he told all about what happens behind the kitchen door. Bourdain uses the same take-no-prisoners attitude in his deliciously funny and shockingly delectable book, sure to delight gourmands and philistines alike. From Bourdain's first oyster in the Gironde, to his lowly position as dishwasher in a honky--tonk fish restaurant in Provincetown (where he witnesses for the first time the real delights of being a chef); from the kitchen of the Rainbow Room atop Rockefeller Center, to drug dealers in the East Village, from Tokyo to Paris and back to New York again, Bourdain's tales of the kitchen are as passionate as they are unpredictable. Kitchen Confidential will make your mouth water while your belly aches with laughter. You'll beg the chef for more, please.</description>

      <title>Consuming Grief: Compassionate Cannibalism in an Amazonian Society</title>
      <link>http://www.slingshop.com/product/University-Of-Texas-Press-Consuming-Grief-Compassionate-Cannibalism-in-an-Amazonian-Society/152767</link>
      <description> This is probably the most significant ethnography of cannibalism. Period. . . . I expect this book to become a classic, an ethnography of exceptional depth and clarity by an anthropologist whose sensitivity and insight are apparent on every page. --Donald Pollock, Associate Professor of Anthropology, SUNY Buffalo Mourning the death of loved ones and recovering from their loss are universal human experiences, yet the grieving process is as different between cultures as it is among individuals. As late as the 1960s, the Wari' Indians of the western Amazonian rainforest ate the roasted flesh of their dead as an expression of compassion for the deceased and for his or her close relatives. By removing and transforming the corpse, which embodied ties between the living and the dead and was a focus of grief for the family of the deceased, Wari' death rites helped the bereaved kin accept their loss and go on with their lives. Drawing on the recollections of Wari' elders who participated in consuming the dead, this book presents one of the richest, most authoritative ethnographic accounts of funerary cannibalism ever recorded. Beth Conklin explores Wari' conceptions of person, body, and spirit, as well as indigenous understandings of memory and emotion, to explain why the Wari' felt that corpses must be destroyed and why they preferred cannibalism over cremation. Her findings challenge many commonly held beliefs about cannibalism and show why, in Wari' terms, it was considered the most honorable and compassionate way of treating the dead.</description>

      <description>This text is a briefer paperback version of the widely-adopted Miller/Jentz BUSINESS LAW TODAY: THE STANDARD EDITION. THE ESSENTIALS offers the very same traits that have made that book so successful edition after edition ? fundamentally that it provides the legal credibility and authoritativeness of a traditional business law book, while also offering the visual appeal and student friendly features students are used to seeing in books for many of their other courses. Though the text is ?fun? for students to read, it does not accomplish this at the expense of important information ? it goes into the necessary detail to completely explain law topics. The book truly offers an instructor the best of both worlds ? a credible business law source, which students will be motivated to read. Its magic and the cornerstone of its widespread success is in this ability to appeal to both instructors and students without being mutually exclusive. It also offers the most comprehensive teaching and learning support package on the market, with something to fit many different instructional or learning styles ? a reflection of West Legal Studies in Business's ongoing commitment to partnership, leadership, and innovation in providing the highest quality materials available for Business Law instructors and students. This text explicitly meets the AACSB curriculum requirements.</description>

      <description>Originally a military and scientific computational tool of a small number of government, scientific, and corporate elites in the late 1940s, the computer has evolved significantly in less than seventy years to become a revolutionary technology and the basis for one the largest industries in America.
