Marsha Molloy has had it. Once a top medical productssales representative so crackerjack her nickname was Marsha Money, she’s been laid low by a tough economy and just plain exhaustion.

Enter Bob Rawlings, the owner of Marsha’s local gardening store. In Bob’s 30 plus years as a successful sales professional, he experienced the same career frustrations, but found that if he treated his business like his garden, his business grew—and a happier, more relaxed salesman appeared. Bob teaches Marsha the secrets of his sales garden, helping her to recharge her career. The clever sales garden metaphor will change you the way you think about sales. By adhering to the easy, practical steps outlined in Sprout!, you, too, can beat career blues, increase your sales, and sustain yourself for the long term.

The American Revolution was a war, but it was also a time, a span of history, in which some people fought, but most just lived. They thought, acted, worked, raised families, worshipped, built, sold, bought, and tried to live as best they could in a time of hope, anxiety, despair, loss, gain, and, above all, disruption. In the Time of the Revolution is a popular, single-volume history of the American Revolution, 1775 to 1783, an intensely active, exciting, and critical span of time in North America. It began with a lopsided skirmish at Lexington, Massachusetts, culminated militarily in a major amphibious campaign mounted by a large Franco-American army against British army and naval forces at Yorktown, Virginia in 1781, and then passed through two more years of desultory combat and cruel fights between diehard Loyalists and vengeful Patriots before ending in the Treaty of Paris. During these eight years in an America that was a collection of young towns on the edge of a vast wilderness, the break-up with the mother country was the central fact of life.

15. september 2015 vart den tre år gamle Alan Kurdi funnen drukna på ei aude Middelhavsstrand. Det ikoniske biletet gjekk verda rundt. Saman med familien sin rømde han frå krigen i Syria. Dei fleste som berga seg over havet havna i overfylde flykningeleirar i Hellas, der forfattaren ei kort stund arbeidde som frivilleg. Diktsamlinga er tileigna Alan Kurdi og alle verdas flykningeborn som er uskuldige offer for meiningslaus krig. Den speglar forfattaren sitt samfunnsengasjement, men han favnar vidt og er slett ikkje utan glimt i augo. Forfattaren sine inntekter frå boksalet går til organisasjonen "Dråpen i Havet" sitt arbeid for flyktningar. "Dikt som vil gripe deg - og vekke undring og ettertanke." Tom Egeland, forfatter "Forfatteren skriver vart om de vergeløse. Med humor og krass refs røsker han opp i sin generasjons synder og unnfallenhet i en diktsamling som spenner vidt." Anne Schäffer, frilansjournalist og kritiker

A brand new edition of an internationally renowned science bestseller Now well into its fourth decade, What is this thing called science? has become something of a classic the world over, available in nineteen languages. Each decade Alan Chalmers has drawn on his experience as a teacher and researcher to improve and update the text. In his accessible style, Chalmers illuminates the major developments in the field over the past few years. The most significant feature of this new, fourth, edition is the addition of an extensive postscript, in which Chalmers uses the results of his recent research into the history of atomism to illustrate and enliven key themes in the philosophy of science. Identifying the qualitative difference between knowledge of atoms as it figures in contemporary science and metaphysical speculations about atoms common in philosophy since the time of Democritus proves to be a highly revealing and instructive way to pinpoint key features of the answer to the question 'What is this thing called science?' This new edition ensures that the book holds its place as the leading introduction to the philosophy of science for the foreseeable future."Successive editions have retained and refined its clear, engaging and witty discussions of the most important topics in the field, incorporating the best new research in the field. This latest edition also adds a valuable layer of grounding in the history of science, particularly based on Chalmers' recent extensive research on the history of atomism."
