Book Description
Pull out your cell phone and look closely. You cant see it, but its there: a tiny sprite known as a net elf, generated by the man-made magic of the Internet, whose fate is irretrievably tied to your ownor, at least, your phones. So eighteen-year old Max discovers when a stupid bet leads to a horrific car crash, leaving him in a coma. His body remains on Earth, but his soul is taken to the mysterious realm of Networld. In Networld, wooden ships soar through the air on high-tech anti-gravity thrusters. Round-eared elves are never born and never die, yet only live for three years. Baby dragons are as cute as kittens but as intelligent as people. The mysterious hooded katari, who never show their faces, forbid Max to speak of his human origins. Yet this fascinating dimension is also a doomed one. The net elves tenuous existence is threatened by a mysterious pirate invasion from the North, and hordes of monsters arising from the depths of the Networld. Whole elven settlements have been wiped off the map; others are stranded with few defenders and supplies. Soon, even the capital will fall. Max is certain hes been sent to save Networld. Problem is, he has no idea how. He cant wield a sword, fly a ship, fire a cannon, battle dragons, or do any of the other tasks his new friends take for granted. He can barely string two words together in front of Leneyla, his attractive tutor. But Max must learn fast before its too late, or the net elves will vanish, and their entire world will fall into darkness.

Tracing the Roots of Globalization and Business Principles
Author: Lawrence A. Beer
Publisher: Business Expert Press
ISBN: 1606492101
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
A central theme to the text is in fact that the commercial process is central to the human condition. The onus to exchange, the bartering of the fruits of one's labor, achieved by physical work or applied knowledge, with another is the natural condition of humankind. It separates us from all other species on earth and underscores humankind's desire to reach out and touch - integrate with others. Such natural process, the trade initiative, is the root of modern globalization. It is also the prime contributor to the development of civilization and has provided the world with a continuing component that sustains progress and improves life. Given this consideration, the business system, and the institutions created to utilize it, have continued to live up to its influential heritage as a central tool in societal progression; although like most human endeavors it is fought with mistakes and errors - it is not perfect. Acquainting students and managers with their heritage sets the stage for the next act in the never ending commercial process. The trading activity, although always beset with stumbling blocks, has always strived to live up to its human promise to make the world a unified better place. Such a goal should not be forgotten and students as well as managers need to reflect on their wider role - providing the golden thread in the continuing tapestry of a global integrated civilization. The commercial process is not just about wealth accumulation or profit and loss; it is ingrained with social progression and the changes over time. Today's business student must see the world on a wider horizon, appreciate and understand the richness of the role their commercial ancestors played in shaping the world if they are to be properly educated on the position and responsibilities they will be required to fulfill in the business of the future.

Animated Stills
Author: Thomas G. Reischel
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1796061255
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
This book is an Inspiration of Life from photographs. As a photographer, I roam around and take pictures of many things. Some of those pictures contain images where I see something in them. As a Poet, this sparks my imagination, my Muse, to poetically interpret that “something” into action. So a poem is born. I write about it, and ask the readers if they see it too That is the basis of this book of Animated Stills. The “stills” part comes from the photograph. The “animated” portion is where poet brings the perceived image to life for the reader. Animated stills are poems where inanimate objects take on human, animal, or spirit forms, traits, or articles. They are derived from Photographs I have taken, that have moved me to write a poem associated with it. I believe that photography and poetry go together well. One form paints a visual picture while the other creates a poetic image. Together, the synergy becomes very powerful. At least, that is what I hope I have achieved here. Here is an excerpt from Poem 26. Firebird, from which the cover photo is taken.
