Paperback. Condition: Good. Find What's NEXT For You: Business Owners Share Their Transition Stories, is an easy to read series of stories from small and medium size business owners explaining their unique transitions from the companies they formed and managed for decades. Their successes, failures, and lessons learned, make up the core of this timely book. In 2013, the Fox Business Center reported that the sales of small businesses grew by 49%, and the Baby Boom demographics suggest this figure will only grow larger over the next ten years. Many have heard the story of the entrepreneur who just didn't pay much attention to their transition. Things were going well and there was no urgency to think about what they would do next. Then the unexpected event happened and they needed to hastily plan in a crisis environment. This kind of planning usually results in the owner losing some of the wealth they have built up in their company, coupled with added personal and family stress. One of the owners in the book commented that he wanted to control every part of his business as he was building it. And when it came time for his transition away from the company, he also wanted to be equally controlling by investing the personal time and resources to make his transition as smooth as possible. For the majority of owners who tell their stories, the transition took about five years from the time the started seriously thinking about it. The book covers stories from a wide range of owners representing many business sectors including service, manufacturing, production and distribution. And the two authors had access to a treasure trove of information which they used to write this book. …

Paperback. Condition: Good. Follow the journey of a Canadian and Indian couple, Savannah and Sandeep, as they travel the world to capture the human side of one of the biggest energy transitions of our times - the global shift from fossil fuels to renewables. In this exciting and provocative new book, readers are taken into the homes of the coal miners who live and work in Jharia, a town in India that has been on fire for the past 100 years due to poor coal mining practices. Life in Jharia is a version of Dante's inferno - 700,000 people live in the most unimaginable conditions. Yet even though residents of Jharia say they are dying slowly every day, they also say they'll never leave. Almost 11,000 kilometres away, in the Canadian oil sands, workers and indigenous people similarly describe their complex relationship with the industry that employs them. Although fossil fuel extraction is harming the environment and impacting people's way of life in the oil sands region, a much-needed shift to renewable energy could also leave communities without their livelihoods. Written in the form of a travelogue, Total Transition provides a whirlwind look at the global growth of renewable energy - highlighting exciting developments in solar and wind energy in Canada, India, Africa and Europe, and discussing hurdles standing in the way of a total transition. Energy experts and leaders of innovative renewable energy projects share hope and optimism about the future of fossil fuel workers and their communities in an increasingly renewable world.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Huge mountain ranges and vast uninhabited areas characterize the Mountain West. The region is home to several dense urban centers, but there is enough space between cities for three very distinct religious cultures to develop. Arizona and New Mexico's religious public life is still dominated by the Catholic church which was in place three centuries before these areas became U.S. states. Mormons came to Utah and Idaho in the 19th century to set up their own church-state and only later were admitted to the Union. Religious minorities from Native Americans to 'mainstream' Protestants must contend with these religious establishments. In the third subregion of Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana no one religious body dominates and many inhabitants claim no religious affiliation at all. Religion and Public Life in the Mountain West explores these three distinct religious regions but then goes on to see how they work together and what they have in common.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. F--k you NFL. That was the first of 50 tweets Hamza Abdullah directed to the NFL on October 31, 2013. What led the normally calm and levelheaded athlete to tweet a diatribe of expletives directed at his former employer? His explosion on Twitter quickly became a trending topic and ultimately caught media attention. Mike Golic of ESPN's Mike & Mike in the Morning criticized the former NFL player for highlighting so much that was wrong with the league without offering any solutions. What are you going to do about it? Mike Golic challenged. Golic's question was ultimately one of many that Hamza asked himself. What are you going to do about so many former NFL players committing suicide? What are you going to do to keep them from going broke? How can you help them keep their families together and avoid divorce? How are you going to support them while they make the difficult transition from the NFL to civilian life? How do we support anyone struggling with a difficult life transition? In this book, Hamza Abdullah seeks to answer these questions by taking an honest look at his own life before, during and after the NFL. There have been a number of very entertaining books written by ex-NFL players detailing their experiences in the League. Now we have a chance to get a look at what happens when the cleats are hung up for the last time, and the cheering is over for good. We find out what toll has been taken on the bodies and especially the minds of our gridiron heroes. NFL Players claim that football is 90% mental and 10% physical, yet they spend a majority of their time working on the physical. Mental health needs to be addressed in the NFL. Hamza believes that if we can tackle mental health on this level, it will have a trickle down effect. In this book we experience the despair and anguish that even the biggest of stars suffer. How their lives are disrupted and spirits are damaged. A different perspective of what happens when men wake up from a dream to discover that their living a nightmare, and the League that they put their faith in is no longer there for them. Come follow Hamza Abdullah. About the Author Hamza Abdullah is a graduate of Washington State University and retired NFL player. After retirement, Hamza dedicated his life to serving others. He is a motivational speaker, sports enthusiast, and avid reader who strives to live by the words, Want for your brother what you want for yourself.

Help motivate your child to want to move from a crib to a 'big kid bed' with courage and confidence in a fun and inspiring adventure Change for little ones can be daunting but have no fear - Louie is here to help In the first book of its series, Louie is a super elephant who is always ready for adventure, but he's sick of waking up tired and weary. Louie decides that maybe it's time to give his 'big kid bed' a try and then comes the biggest surprise of all. With sweet rhymes and beautiful illustrations, this book inspires bravery and greatness.A Note from the publisher: Give Your Child the Courage That He or She Needs to Quickly Conquer New Milestones without Stress or Overwhelm. The toddler years can be the most amazing, yet challenging times. On one hand, it's hard to believe that your little one is growing up before your eyes (and it's the most incredible joy to be part of) but on the other hand, with growing up comes change and new milestones. These transitions can often be daunting for both the child and the parent. We created the character, Louie, with your child in mind. It's our goal that your child will instantly relate with Louie's adventurous spirit, independence and fun loving nature. He or she will giggle through this sweet, rhythmic story but also learn that change can be overcome by a little courage and that the outcome can actually lead to even more fun and adventure We understand that there are many different tactics and tools to conquer transitions (and that each household may handle them differently), however, we strongly believe that before technique there needs to be a want and desire within the child. The same is true for adults. Think about it, there's no way you're going to learn a foreign language if you don't have the desire. You can be thrown into some of the best classrooms and programs but will have a hard time grasping the information until you're actually interested and motivated.Louie's Little Lessons sole focus is to ignite curiosity and motivation when it comes to facing change (then, the technicalities can be taught whichever way you chose), however, the first and most challenging step is establishing the correct mindset. We hope to help your child finds his/her desire to embrace change and courage for years to come. Greg Bishop (illustrator).…
