Its the year 1865 and the American Civil War is ending. Eighteen years after the famine ship Star of the Sea docked at New York, the daughter of two of her passengers sets out from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on a walk across a devastated America. Eliza Duane Mooney is searching for a young boy she has not seen in four years, one of the hundred thousand children drawn into the war. His fate has been mysterious and will prove extraordinary. It's a walk that will have consequences for many seemingly unconnected survivors: a love-struck cartographer, a haunted Latina poetess, rebel guerrilla Cole McLaurenson, runaway slave Elizabeth Longstreet and the mercurial revolutionary James Con O'Keeffe, who commanded a brigade of Irish immigrants in the Union Army and is now Governor of a western wilderness where nothing is as it seems."Redemption Falls" is a tale of war and forgiveness, of strangers in a strange land, of love put to the ultimate test. Packed with music, balladry, poetry and storytelling, this is a riveting historical novel of urgent contemporary resonance, from the author of the internationally bestselling "Star of the Sea".

At college in 1980s Luton, Robbie Goulding, an Irish-born teenager, meets the elusive Fran Mulvey, an orphaned Vietnamese refugee. Together they form a band. Joined by cellist Sarah-Therese Sherlock and her twin brother Sean on drums, The Ships in the Night set out to chase fame. But the story of this makeshift family is haunted by ghosts from the past. Spanning 25 years, The Thrill of it All rewinds and fast-forwards through an evocative soundtrack of struggle and laughter. Infused with blues, ska, classic showtunes, New Wave and punk, using interviews, lyrics, memoirs and diaries, the tale stretches from suburban England to Manhattan's East Village, from Thatcher-era London to the Hollywood Bowl, from the meadows of the Glastonbury Festival to a wintry Long Island, culminating in a Dublin evening in July 2012, a night that changes everything. A story of loyalties, friendship, the call of the muse, and the beguiling shimmer of teenage dreams, this is a warm-hearted, funny and deeply moving novel for anyone that's ever loved a song.

1878: The Lyceum Theatre, London. Three extraordinary people begin their life together, a life that will be full of drama, transformation, passionate and painful devotion to art and to one another. Henry Irving, the Chief, is the volcanic leading man and impresario; Ellen Terry is the most lauded and desired actress of her generation, outspoken and generous of heart; and ever following along behind them in the shadows is the unremarkable theatre manager, Bram Stoker. Fresh from life in Dublin as a clerk, Bram may seem the least colourful of the trio but he is wrestling with dark demons in a new city, in a new marriage, and with his own literary aspirations. As he walks the London streets at night, streets haunted by the Ripper and the gossip which swirls around his friend Oscar Wilde, he finds new inspiration. But the Chief is determined that nothing will get in the way of his manager's devotion to the Lyceum and to himself. And both men are enchanted by the beauty and boldness of the elusive Ellen. This exceptional novel explores the complexities of love that stands dangerously outside social convention, the restlessness of creativity, and the experiences that led to Dracula, the most iconic supernatural tale of all time.

El principal valor de una organización son las personas. Para que una empresa sobreviva en esta era de grandes cambios, el gerente o directivo debe actuar en tres ámbitos: á En el de la organización, creando estructuras y estableciendo objetivos y metodos capaces de adelantarse a cualquier problema. a En el de las personas, aprendiendo a comunicar, a comprender, a compartir y delegar. a En el personal, conociendose a si mismo, pues esa es la condicion para trazar objetivos, y alcanzarlos, y diseñar modelos de excelencia. Desde hace pocos años, empresas, organizaciones e instituciones tienen a su alcance nuevas tecnologias que les permiten hacer lo que siempre hicieron, aunque mucho mas rapido. Y eso es una ventaja, pues el mercado cambia tambien a velocidad de vertigo. Los inconvenientes surgen cuando una organizacion se obstina en mantener una estructura piramidal, monolitica, porque entonces el proceso de tomar una decision y de llevarla a la practica lentifica el crecimiento y el desarrollo. Toda empresa tiene sus objetivos y tiende hacia unos resultados, pero si los hombres y las mujeres de su organizacion no los asumen como propios el proceso entero se vera comprometido. Es tarea del nuevo directivo, y no la menor, crear un equipo humano que comparta los valores de la empresa, que sea capaz de aprender y asimilar la filosofia de la gestion y de involucrarse en la tarea de alcanzar un objetivo comun.

La venta como profesión se ve cada vez más sometida a presiones desde diversos ángulos: por una parte, está el modelo tradicional que los autores denominan el Viejo Bazar, en el que la venta se considera una manipulacion, el vendedor no es muy apreciado y el comprador tiende a refugiarse en una actitud de cautela y desconfianza, como refleja el lema Cuidado, comprador. Por otra parte, cada vez cobra mayor importancia el Bazar Electronico, donde la relacion entre cliente y producto depende mas de la tecnologia, ya sea la television o las redes informaticas como Internet, que de la actividad de un vendedor; aqui el lema es Cuidado, vendedor. Para sobrevivir en estas circunstancias, la venta ha empezado a evolucionar hacia un modelo distinto: el Nuevo Bazar. El Nuevo Bazar es una cultura de la venta dominada por la relacion, la integridad y la influencia -no la manipulacion- con miras a alcanzar un resultado beneficioso para ambas partes. Utilizando los conceptos y las tecnicas de la Programacion Neurolinguistica, este libro proporciona los metodos para: - Crear y mantener excelentes relaciones con los clientes. - Aprender a descubrir que quieren en realidad y que valoran. - Hablar en su propio lenguaje. - Cuidar del propio bienestar. - Ser un lider ademas de un director. - Aprender habilidades para realizar poderosas presentaciones. Tanto si es usted un vendedor o un director de ventas, o incluso un profesional que necesita habilidades de venta para comercializar sus productos o servicios, este libro le resultara invaluable.
