In recent years, the term EQ or emotional intelligence has become a well-known term for how we behave, react, and communicate with others. In business and various professions, EQ is now part of determining whether a person would make a good fit.

Nicht nur Perry Rhodan muss verblüfft zur Kenntnis nehmen, dass sich sein Bild vom Universum ändert: Die Naturgesetze des Universums werden seit Milliarden von Jahren durch riesenhafte Gebilde gesteuert. Zu ihnen gehören der monströse Frostrubin und das geheimnisvolle Tiefenland. Geraten diese Gebilde außer Kontrolle, können viele Sterneninseln ins Chaos gestürzt werden - mit zahllosen Todesopfern. Deshalb ist Rhodan darauf bedacht, die Mission der Endlosen Armada nach Jahrmillionen zu einem positiven Ende zu bringen.

What do you do when it's raining cats and dogs...and pigs and whales? Take refuge in 15 stories of wild and wicked weather. They will freeze you to the core, they will soak you to the bone. You will find no pot of gold at the end of this rainbow, no sunshine after the rain. Just thunder and lightning that's very, very frightening. There's a storm coming....

Henry Gallant thought Alaina loved him, but now she's found someone else. A tidal wave of loss and grief sweep over him, leaving him undecided about what to do next, or how to move forward. Despite his sorrow, he goes on a dangerous mission to an invading aliens' home world in the Gliese-581 star system. There he uses a neural interface to penetrate their communication network and steals a high-ranking alien's identity. Through this artifice, he learns about their history and society and discovers a way to hinder and possibly defeat them.

In Theology of James, Peter, and Jude: Audio Lectures, top New Testament scholar Peter Davids offers a comprehensive study of the General or Catholic Epistles, which are often insufficiently covered in more general New Testament introductions, theologies, and surveys. The lessons offer a thorough exploration of the theology of each book, including introductory issues and major themes, and shows how each book relates to the broad picture of New Testament theology.

Alice Green's lost and recently found eyewitness accounts of her childhood, her own war, the Golden Years of Radio, and the postwar housing shortage, are told from the light-hearted viewpoint of the shy, youngest child, who learns she can make even the stormy and outrageous characters in her own family laugh. With a little help from her son, who (just barely) lived to finish it, her story stands for unsung American women in war and survives as Alice's triumph.

Unequal Gains offers a radically new understanding of the economic evolution of the United States, providing a complete picture of the uneven progress of America from colonial times to today. While other economic historians base their accounts on American wealth, Peter Lindert and Jeffrey Williamson focus instead on income - and the result is a bold reassessment of the American economic experience.

Jeg er pedant. Det er en vigtig egenskab for en korrekturlaeser. En krakiler. Jeg finder andre menneskers fejl. Og slår hårdt ned på dem. Og nyder det. Ja, jeg saetter en aere i at påpege og rette fejl. Jeg holder af den røde tusch, der bryder den ellers uantastelige, sorte sats. Jeg har øje for inkonsekvenser og uregelmaessigheder. Sådan skal en god korrekturlaeser vaere. Pernittengryn, småtskåren og retskaffen. Jeg er en sadist, siger min eks. Søn af en revisor.

Vi er i krisens første år. To snart midaldrende venner genser hinanden efter lang tid. I udkantsdanmark. Langt ovre i Jylland. De spiser begge piller for at klare sig nogenlunde gennem dagen. Den ene skal forestille at skrive en bog om ungdommen i de tidlige firsere, den anden går og venter på førtidspension. Det kunne vaere trist og trøstesløst, hvis ikke det var fortalt af et pokerfjaes med en koncis, omend underspillet humor.

Am Ende des vierten Jahrtausends: Die SOL, ein über sechs Kilometer langes Raumschiff, ist in der Gewalt eines unbekannten Gegners. Den rund 100.000 Menschen...

Wir schreiben das Jahr 425 Neuer Galaktischer Zeitrechnung. Die Kosmische Hanse, die bedeutendste Handelsorganisation in der Milchstraße, wird von schweren Anschlägen der Superintelligenz Seth-Apophis heimgesucht. Diese bedrohlichen Vorfälle versetzen die Erde in Aufruhr. Julian Tifflor, der Erste Terraner, gerät in Verdacht, Agent dieser feindlichen Superintelligenz zu sein, und Reginald Bull wird entführt.

Die Betschiden sind Menschen - aber sie leben weit entfernt von der Erde, in einer fremden Sterneninsel. Bis vor kurzem kannten sie nur den Überlebenskampf auf einer Dschungelwelt. Sie wissen immerhin, dass ihre Vorfahren Raumfahrer waren, Bewohner des legendären Raumschiffs SOL. Aber von der Vergangenheit kennen sie nur die Legenden. Seit einiger Zeit müssen sich drei Betschiden in der Raumflotte des Herzogtums von Krandhor behaupten. Sie suchen die Spur ihrer Vorfahren.

Die Kosmische Hanse ist ein Garant für Frieden und Wohlstand: Sie fördert den Handel zwischen der Menschheit und den anderen Zivilisationen der Milchstraße. Doch die feindliche Superintelligenz Seth-Apophis versucht mit rabiaten Mitteln, einen Krieg in der Galaxis zu entfesseln. Ein Beispiel dafür ist Arxisto: Diese Welt der Kosmischen Hanse sieht sich schweren Anschlägen ausgesetzt. Angreifer ist eine riesige fremde Raumstation, die jedem Waffeneinsatz widersteht.

Perry Rhodan und seine Begleiter an Bord des Fernraumschiffs SOL haben sich ein Ziel gesetzt: Sie wollen unter allen Umständen die in der Unendlichkeit verschwundene Erde wiederfinden! Offensichtlich kann ihnen ein hohes kosmisches Wesen wichtige Hinweise für ihre Mission geben.

Das Jahr 425 Neuer Galaktischer Zeitrechnung wird zum Schicksalsjahr für die Menschheit. Seth-Apophis, eine fremde Superintelligenz, bedroht die Milchstraße. Während längst der Abwehrkampf tobt, übernehmen die letzten Angehörigen eines seit Jahrtausenden vergessenen Volkes die Kontrolle über die Erde und das Solsystem. Sie nennen sich Porleyter, und sie verlangen, dass die Flotten der Terraner mit ihnen gemeinsam gegen Seth-Apophis vorgehen.

From healthcare to workplace conduct, the federal government is taking on ever more responsibility for managing our lives. At the same time, Americans have never been more disaffected with Washington, seeing it as an intrusive, incompetent, wasteful giant. The most alarming consequence of ineffective policies, in addition to unrealized social goals, is the growing threat to the government’s democratic legitimacy. Understanding why government fails so often - and how it might become more effective - is an urgent responsibility of citizenship.

Bottled & Sold shows how water went from being a free natural resource to one of the most successful commercial products of the last 100 years - and why we are poorer for it. It's a big story and water is big business. Every second of every day in the United States, a thousand people buy a plastic bottle of water, and every second of every day a thousand more throw one of those bottles away. That adds up to more than 30 billion bottles a year and tens of billions of dollars of sales. Are there legitimate reasons to buy all those bottles?
