About this product: Gen Y-those individuals born after 1980-are making an indelible mark on our culture. Raised on praise and technology, they are savvier and more confident than any prior generation. Their characteristic values, like social responsibility and authenticity, drive their actions. A majority of the 78 million Gen Yers in the U.S. have entered the workforce, creating a new dynamic. Millennial Leaders presents 28 success stories from brilliant Gen Y leaders and those professionals who have studied this social phenomenon-from a 14 year-old political appointee to a finalist on "The Apprentice." Through interviews and insights, this book shows experienced leaders (i.e., Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, and Generation X) how to manage, motivate, and communicate with Gen Y, and how to best utilize their talents. The book also provides Generation Y with over 100 strategies for achieving career and personal success. Learn what turns them on and off, how to retain them as employees, and how to cultivate their natural entrepreneurism for your benefit.
About this product: A touching and humorous account of the author's fifteen years with her beagle, Bea, a refugee from an animal research laboratory.
Harried by recent upheavals in her life, the last thing Kristin von Kreisler needed was another dog. But when she came upon Bea, a scrawny beagle abandoned by the roadside, she couldn't turn away. Bea became part of her family, and changed it forever.
Disheveled, malnourished, and terrified of human contact, Bea seemed damaged beyond repair. But, gradually, she began to trust von Kreisler. After resisting her touch again and again, the dog one day leaned in and nuzzled her neck. From that moment, Bea began to give love as well as receive it. With the typically unforgettable personality of a beagle, over the next decade and a half she taught von Kreisler the value of living utterly in the present, of meeting each day with a good bark, and of moving forward in life without being dragged down by past grief.
Written with rare eloquence and down-to-earth wit, this memoir of Bea and von Kreisler's fifteen-year love story will charm "beaglers" and touch the heart of anyone who has ever loved a dog.
About this product: This book is basically about the differences in how we differ in our feelings about things that to many are controversial. But whatever the case , the truth must be understood and told by all of us. It relates that because everybody else does it, it does not make it right. But in spite of who we are there is someone bigger than all of us who in the end is the greatest judge of all. People make mistakes but god can make things all right. We should by no means think that we can go through this life alone nor do we have to. It also relates that in the midst of turmoil or some storms in our lives we must look after each other as neighbors and friends. But most of all, this book is about people not trying to change what is mean't or not mean't to be.

HaHa does not understand why Bea is hugging a blanket – until they share its cozy delights.
Bea and HaHa (an adorable hippo and a small ferret) are the best of friends, but they don’t always get along. Perhaps it is because they are so different from each other: excitable, verbal HaHa is always trying to make sense of solid, confident Bea, who says very little. These two charming stories, featuring bright, graphic art, are centered on fundamental objects and experiences of early childhood: cuddling a security blanket and sharing a bagel.
Bagels are good – but they are best when split with a friend.
