What If Everything You’ve Been Chasing… Was a Lie? Bob had it all—a good job, a loving family, and a life that looked perfect from the outside. Until the day he woke up on the mountain. Stripped of everything he thought he knew, Bob is thrust into a brutal world where survival is the only rule. No instructions. No safety nets. No way back. As he fights his way up the treacherous slopes, he encounters others just like him—climbers who spend their lives chasing the summit, believing that reaching the top will finally bring them peace.

Randy always thought life in Puyallup was fast-paced, but nothing compared to the adventures that awaited him beyond the city limits. With his loyal dog, Kripto, and his eccentric best friend, Shooby, by his side, he balanced the chaos of city life with the thrill of intergalactic escapades. By day, they navigated the bustling streets, dodging traffic, and chasing dreams, but by night, they soared through the cosmos in their one-of-a-kind Atwater, a space-aging SUV that doubled as their spacecraft. From neon-lit alleyways to the vast, uncharted regions of deep space, the trio found themselves tangled in high-stakes chases, mysterious encounters, and secrets that could change everything they thought they knew about their world-and the universe beyond. But as they ventured further into the unknown, Randy began to question his own past, his connection to the legendary White House Keeper, and the role he was destined to play in an unfolding cosmic battle. In a story blending urban grit with sci-fi wonder, The White House Keeper is a thrilling ride through city streets and star systems, where friendship, loyalty, and destiny collide in ways no one could have predicted.

Repeating Revolutions examines how activists, intellectuals, social scientists, and historians looked to France’s Revolutionary past to negotiate Algeria’s struggle for decolonization from the 1930s to the 1960s. The French Empire justified their claims over Algeria in part through messages of universal progress marked by the political visions tied to the French Revolution. Supporters of Algerian independence confronted those historical claims by identifying the Algerian cause with the French Revolution and by highlighting the apparent contradictions between the history of 1789 and imperial rule. Far-right activists, meanwhile, saw the movement to decolonize Algeria as another manifestation of the revolutionary disorder stemming from the French Revolution. Behind these analogies lay broader changes in the study of North African society and contemporary political relevance of the French Revolution. The focus on analogies to the French Revolution puts different sets of actors in conversation with one another and offers a fresh take on how people’s experiences and expectations changed throughout the Algerian War. This book will appeal to readers interested in the intellectual history of decolonization, the historiography of the French Revolution, the historiography of North African studies, and questions of historical comparison and conceptual change.

"On a very old winter night, Jacqueline (Jackie for short), was born to the proud parents of Ruth Green and Matt Jones," and on this very cold winter night, the story begins. In a small rural town in Savannah, Georgia lives the Jones family. At first glance, they appear to be a strong, faithful group, despite their almost constant struggle with poverty. It appeared that this family was netted together with love. About a year after the birth of Jackie something happened that caused Ruth to be afraid to say anything. But, when she decided to talk all her fears became a reality. The love of her life, her fiancé Matt walked out on her. Falling into despair, she begins to wonder if she would be able to find the strength she needed to move forward. A Candle Beneath My Bed is not merely a thread of a young girl''s earliest memories but it provides a heartwarming story that rekindles our faith in family and sheds new light on the things that matter most.

The study captures the results of a CSAF directed analysis on USAF command and control (C2). The study examined Air Force C2 in seven cases covering the spectrum of conflict to determine whether doctrine and organizational structures require change to fit uncertain and dynamic future scenarios. The study''s results showed that USAF C2 design must change in order to increase its adaptability. An overall goal for adaptive C2 is offered along with six questions to aid a commander in creating adaptable C2 structures. The goal of adaptive C2 is to achieve unity of effort through integration at the appropriate organizational level, enabling agility and speed of action in delivering effects. The six questions address the following issues: the nature of an operation, available resources, capabilities of subordinate units, degree of trust and confidence, political risk, and the need to exploit interaction among the speed, range, flexibility, versatility, and battlespace perspective of Air Force capabilities.

Traditional hierarchical structures are falling – is your organisation ready? Emergent provides a handbook for navigating – and thriving in – the new cultural paradigm. More than a simple DIY for change, this book empowers organisations to diagnose change risk, address current shortcomings and adapt to the increasing current away from hierarchies to autonomous and interdependent networks. Unguided, most fail in their attempt; this shift exposes huge skills deficits, a lack of engagement, lack of value and meaning, market reach, penetration and more. Here, a twenty-year veteran of brand and culture transformation outlines a unique governance framework and blueprint for implementing and co-creating your own cultural shift. Methodologies from crowdsourcing and social movements are adopted as tools for initiating change and creating cultural cohesion around a higher purpose, and essential skills and tools help equip organisations and individuals for the emergent future. Today's workplace demands are creating extraordinary challenges for organisations; power is shifting, and the spotlight has forced businesses to engage with stakeholders in more meaningful ways, and to acknowledge a need for radical ‘humanization' of the workplace. To drive successful change you need to spark a movement. This book provides a way forward through the transition, with expert guidance and a clear, actionable framework for implementation. Adopt a unique governance framework for culture transformation Energise, mobilise and catalyse change, innovation and growth Address skills deficits, values misalignment, failed engagement and more Ignite your organisation's purpose and forge sustainability for the future The demand for greater values alignment, autonomy and individual empowerment – fuelled by technology and increasing interdependencies – is bringing down the traditional power structure. The question is: what moves into its place? A strong organisational culture is the difference between surviving and thriving in the marketplace. Emergent provides a practical blueprint for transformation to help your organisation navigate the shift successfully.

"The tall building is barely a century old, but it has transformed older cities and shaped new settlements around the world. In Asia and the Middle East, a forest of high rises has risen in the space of a generation, from bare ground or in place of humble villages. Behind the seeming chaos of tangled roads and unrelated buildings, is an underlying order and a hierarchy of scale that every city aspires to. Unlike some smaller works of architecture, tall buildings contain highly technical systems which are replicated and costly. These buildings have the capability of generating significant financial return and there is a global community of real estate investors constantly surveying potentially beneficial locations around the world. While the uniformity of this global industrial sector might suggest uniform outcomes, the regions in which opportunities exist are varied, each with its own history, governance and economic marketplace. It is this dialectic between universal sameness and regional distinction which provides the narrative for this book and informs our observation of the important similarities and differences of tall buildings in our world cities."--Publisher''s website.

In recent years, contemporary architectural theory and practice have shifted from a focus on how a building appears to how it performs. Nowhere are these performative properties more evident than in the field of skyscraper design, where the emergence of ultra-performing materials, interactive processing systems, and digital design and fabrication techniques are making remarkable new structures possible. In Performative Skyscraper, acclaimed skyscraper architect Scott Johnson describes how the combination of sophisticated modeling software and demands for ever-increasing environmental sustainability have led to an overwhelming emphasis on high performance. From advanced window-walls to vertical mixed-use towers, Johnson captures the breadth and immediacy of skyscraper design now.

Men are increasingly disparaged in our culture, in sitcoms, in court, and even in their homes. The proliferation of single-parent families, primarily headed by women, leaves boys without a dad in the home. This ongoing trend is nothing new; in fact, the effects of the trend are now easily identified in the lives of boys who are becoming men. In general, children from fatherless homes have an exponentially higher rate of suicide, behavioral disorders, dropout rate, and criminal behavior. More than forty percent of children do not live with their fathers and this does not bode well, especially for boys. Conversely, having a father in the picture, especially an involved one, is good for kids: they tend to be smarter, have better psychological health, do better in school, and get better jobs. Dr. Scott Johnson says we have adopted a ''sitcom mentality.'' In his book, A Father to for Our Father: The Foundation for a Flourishing Family, Johnson explains that we expect instant results, believing everything can be fixed in thirty minutes. He says, ''Few are fighting to keep it together anymore. If a husband or wife hit a hard spot in their marriage, then they simply replace partners.'' Johnson explains how it has become easier for us to escape from our relationships rather than fight to solidify them and endure the trial of reconciliation. The big losers in the narcissistic spiral toward relationship failure are children. Few boys without fathers in the home have any idea what it means to persevere through hardship, treat women with respect, or develop an attitude of tenacity that will carry them in work, relationships, and sports. ''We must establish accountability and hold ourselves to a higher standard,'' says Johnson.''The government is not going to do it. The schools can''t do it. And the church hasn''t done it yet. If it does not start with you, then it will end with your children.'' He encourages fathers to step up and see their roles within the family or with their children as a pathway to wholeness. ''Your home will be either a kingdom of order or a kingdom of chaos,'' he explains and ''Any problem within a home is a family problem.'' While Johnson sees the challenges, he is also an encourager. ''Positive change,'' he says, ''always takes work but the results are contagious.''

He can’t be pulled down–but we can ascend upward into His thoughts, ways and...

What happens when a father asks his son to lie for the greater good? Growing up, Scott Johnson always suspected that his dad was different. Only as a teenager did he discover the truth: his father was a spy, one of the CIA''s most trusted officers. And, as Scott came to realise, his father had been living a double life for so long that his lies were hard to separate from the truth. When an adult Scott embarked on a career as a war correspondent, he found himself returning to many of the troubled countries of his youth. In the dusty streets of Pakistan and Afghanistan, amid the cold urbanity of Yugoslavia, and down the mysterious alleys of Mexico City, he came face to face with his father''s murky past - and his own complicity in it. The Wolf and the Watchman is a provocative, meditative reckoning on truth, deception, and manipulation, and the fidelities we owe to ourselves and to our families. It is also an intensely personal story of a bond between father and son that endured in the shadow of one of the world''s most secretive and unforgiving institutions.

The neoconstructivist approach is rooted in Piaget's constructivist emphasis on developmental mechanisms, yet also reflects modern advances in our understanding of learning mechanisms, cortical development, and modeling. This book brings together, for the first time, theoretical views that embrace computational models and developmental neurobiology, and emphasize the interplay of time, experience, and cortical architecture to explain emergent knowledge, with an empirical line of research identifying a set of general-purpose sensory, perceptual, and learning mechanisms that guide knowledge acquisition across different domains and through development.
