What the world can learn from Israel's meteoric economic success. Start-Up Nation addresses the trillion dollar question: How is it that Israel -- a country of 7.1 million, only 60 years old, surrounded by enemies, in a constant state of war since its founding, with no natural resources-- produces more start-up companies than large, peaceful, and stable nations like Japan, China, India, Korea, Canada and the UK? With the savvy of foreign policy insiders, Senor and Singer examine the lessons of the country's adversity-driven culture, which flattens hierarchy and elevates informality-- all backed up by government policies focused on innovation. In a world where economies as diverse as Ireland, Singapore and Dubai have tried to re-create the "Israel effect", there are entrepreneurial lessons well worth noting. As America reboots its own economy and can-do spirit, there's never been a better time to look at this remarkable and resilient nation for some impressive, surprising clues.

El «Libro de Margery Kempe» constitueix la primera autobiografia escrita en llengua anglesa i, així mateix, es conta entre els exemples més notables de la literatura mística anglosaxona medieval. Concebut amb una finalitat eminentment didàctica, és l'única font per a reconstruir la controvertida vida d'una figura insòlita, d'una dama burgesa, muller, mare, dona de negocis, pelegrina i visionària. Aquestes memòries, dictades per ella mateixa al final de la seua vida, tracen un extraordinari retrat d'una dona de caràcter indoblegable, immersa en una experiència mística que la va portar a enfrontar-se a la religiositat dominant i a les jerarquies eclesiàstiques, sempre en el tall de l'acusació d?heretgia. El llibre constitueix un ampli i bigarrat retaule de la societat i la vida quotidiana en una època de grans transformacions com van ser els segles XIV i XV.

ISBN: 1450074235

This book is a collection of 92 poems and songs that I was used as a vessel to write, and includes 13 Contemporary Christian Music Translations from English to Spanish, and 1 song translation from Spanish to English. This collection was all written, edited, produced and then published by Nestor Gonzalez during the period of March 18, 2009 to March 2010. Prior to the time period noted, I have never, in my life, xwritten a poem or song. The vast majority of the poems were Godly inspired. With the exception of 2 somewhat explicit life stories, that should serve as counsel to young people; it is my hope that these poems and songs, serve to draw every reader to a closer and more intimate relationship with God. I pray that you all read these poems aloud and that you too hear The Sounds of His Voice.

Bruce Forsyth is known across four generations as the face of family entertainment classics such as The Generation Game, Play Your Cards Right and The Price is Right. His is an amazing story that spans more than two thirds of the twentieth century. In the late 1950s, over half of Britain would tune in to Sunday Night at the London Palladium, making Bruce a star in a few weeks. But it had been a long slog since his debut as a fourteen-year-old 'Boy Bruce the Mighty Atom' in 1942, then wartime work for the Red Cross and National Service, and playing every theatre, concert party, summer season, double act and review known to man. Bruce's first-ever account of his whole life is chock full of anecdotes, honest appraisals of tough times, failed marriages and affairs, comments on entertainment and what it took to be a comedian at the height of his powers. 'In the gameshow of life, Brucie hasn't just won the TV, the golf clubs and the hostess trolley. He's won the cuddly toy as well' Mirror
