SUMMARY - When Elliot Wallace, Viscount Lyngate, arrives in Throckbridge, the small village is buzzing with excitement over the upcoming Valentine's Day dance. The ladies of the town are busy gussying up for the ball and gossiping about the viscount's mysterious arrival, but Elliot has more urgent matters to attend to. His arrival marks a mission to retrieve the rightful Earl of Merton, while his promise he has made to find a wife by Christmas weighs heavily on his mind. When Elliot meets the new young earl, Stephen Huxtable, and his three sisters, the disagreeable Margaret, the cheery Katherine, and the plain, widowed Vanessa, he becomes absorbed in the family's life. Could it be possible that with the Huxtables he's found both an Earl and wife? If Elliot thinks he's hit two birds with one stone, to which sister will he cast his throw.and will she catch the bait before she discovers his ulterior motives. Diane Hobbing (illustrator).…

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. New condition red boards/black spine/red spine lettering contained in a new condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Praise for The Power of Nice; Authors' Dedications; Acknowledgments; Foreword by Jay Leno; Notes and Index. "Linda Kaplan Thaler and Robin Koval have moved to the top of the advertising industry by following a simple but powerful philosophy: it pays to be nice. Where so many companies encourage a dog-eat-dog mentality, The Kaplan Thaler Group has succeeded through chocolate and flowers. In The Power of Nice, through their own experiences and the stories of other people and businesses, they demonstrate why, contrary to conventional wisdom, nice people finish first. Turning the well-known adage of "Nice Guys Finish Last" on its ear, The Power of Nice shows that "nice" companies have lower employee turnover, lower recruitment costs, and higher productivity. Nice people live longer, are healthier, and make more money. In today's interconnected world, companies and people with a reputation for cooperation and fair play forge the kind of relationships that lead to bigger and better opportunities, both in business and in life. But being nice doesn't mean acting wimpy. In fact, nice may be the toughest four-letter word you'll ever encounter. Kaplan Thaler and Koval illustrate the surprising power of nice with an array of real-life examples from the business arena as well as from their personal lives. Most important, they present a plan of action covering everything from creating a positive impression to sweetening the pot to turning enemies into allies. Filled with inspiration and suggestions on how to supercharge your career and expand your reach in the workplace, The Power of Nice will transform how you live and work." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. "This little book will show you why women should run most corporations in America, and maybe the entire country. Reading Nice will improve just about everything in your life, and that's a promise." - James Patterson, bestselling author, former CEO of J. Walter Thompson North America. "The Power of Nice is a wonder drug! It could literally save your career and your life .And let me suggest a first act of kindness: buy some extra copies for your enemies. I'll bet they need The Power of Nice more than you do." - Keith Ferrazzi, author. "Leo Durocher was wrong! Linda Kaplan Thaler and Robin Koval's The Power of Nice is the antidote to our increasingly mean-spirited culture. I'm going to send a copy to every political campaign consultant I know." - Arianna Huffington. "In negotiation, the cheapest concession you can make is to be nice. And the returns can be high, as Linda Kaplan Thaler and Robin Koval show in this delightfully readable primer packed with practical advice and entertaining stories. I recommend it with pleasure!" - William Ury, Coauthor of Getting to Yes and author of The Power of a Positive No. "For my money, I would always rather make a deal with people I like who treat me well. If you want to discover the surprising power of nice, read this book. Memorize it. Use it. You'll be glad you did." - Donald Trump. Hobbing, Diane (book design) (illustrator).…

"Twenty distinguished American historians vividly re-imagine twenty events of great drama and significance in our country's past.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. New condition gold boards/blue spine/gold spine lettering contained in a new condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Foreword by Frances Hesselbein; Acknowledgments; Appendix: Disney Institute; and Index. Signed, inscribed and dated (12/08/09) with black pen by the Author. Also signed by Mickey Mouse! Also includes a tipped-into-the-volume Creating Magic promotional advertising bookmark/card that opens up to a Disney Institute color illustrated "7 Guest Service Guidelines", a front section about Creating Magic Leadership Principles and a rear section About the Author. " "It's not the magic that makes it work; it's the way we work that makes it magic." The secret for creating "magic" in our careers, our organizations, and our lives is simple: outstanding leadership -- the kind that inspires employees, delights customers, and achieves extraordinary business results. No one knows more about this kind of leadership than Lee Cockereell, the man who ran Walt Disney World Resort operations for more than a decade. And in Creating Magic, he shares the leadership principles that not only guided his own journey from a poor farm boy in Oklahoma to the head of operations for a multi-billion-dollar enterprise, but that also soon came to form the cultural bedrock of the world's number one vacation destination. But as Lee demonstrates, great leadership isn't about mastering impossibly complex management theories. We can all become outstanding leaders by following the ten practical, common sense strategies outlined in this remarkable book. As straightforward as they are profound, these leadership lessons include: Everyone is important. Make your people your brand. Burn the free fuel: appreciation, recognition, and encouragement. Give people a purpose, not just a job. Combining surprising business wisdom with insightful and entertaining stories from Lee's four decades on the front lines of some of the world's best-run companies, Creating Magic shows all of us -- from small-business owners to managers at every level -- how to become better leaders by infusing quality, character, courage, enthusiasm, and integrity into our workplace and into our lives." - from the inner front jacket flap. "In Creating Magic, Lee Cockerell delivers his ideas about leadership in a common sense way that can really reach people and help them improve their effectiveness at work, at home, and in their communities. His valuable leadership strategies and remarkable Disney stories will ring true for everyone who reads this book." - Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The One Minute Manager and The One Minute Entrepreneur. "Lee's common sense principles and down-to-earth storytelling are refreshing. His book will help leaders and managers at all levels become better in all parts of their lives." - Lee Huebner, Director of the School of Media and Public Affairs, George Washington University. "Disney is one of the world's prime exemplars of service, having pioneered and implemented much of what is today seen as best practice in service management. Lee Cockerell has played a major role in this . For those wishing to learn how Disney has achieved its reputation for service, this will be a book to read." - Chris Voss, Professor of Operations and Technology Management, London Business School.
