Gunman's Tally - L. Ron Hubbard

Some men look to keep the peace. Others look to make trouble. But sometimes even the most law-abiding of men are compelled to cross the line….Easy Bill Gates is just such a man—as quick with a smile and as slow to anger as Gary Cooper in High Noon. He’s a model of restraint…until he’s forced to strap on a holster and kill the outlaw who murdered his brother. But more than his honor is at stake. A ruthless land baron is out to grab Bill’s ranch and he’s hired a gang of gunslingers to get Bill out of the way.Between the rancher who wants to take his land, and the young guns who want to take his life, Easy Bill will have to make some hard choices—and fast draws—to avoid becoming just another notch in the Gunman’s Tally.Hailing from the western states of Nebraska, Oklahoma and Montana, Hubbard grew up surrounded by grizzled frontiersmen and leather-tough cowboys, counting a Native American medicine man as one of his closest friends. When he chose to write stories of the Old West, Hubbard didn’t have to go far to do his research, drawing on his own memories of a youth steeped in the ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Edward III - William Shakespeare, Octavio Solis

Edward III comes to life in a new version by playwright Octavio Solis. Written after England’s victory over the Spanish Armada in 1588, Edward III follows the exploits of King Edward III and his son Edward, the Black Prince of Wales. England dominates on the battlefield as the play explores questions of kinghood and chivalry through the actions of King Edward and his son. Octavio Solis’s translation of the play provides all of the complexity and richness of the original while renewing the allusions and metaphors lost through time. This translation of Edward III was written as part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s Play On! project, which commissioned new translations of thirty-nine Shakespeare plays. These translations present work from “The Bard” in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of Shakespeare’s verse. Enlisting the talents of a diverse group of contemporary playwrights, screenwriters, and dramaturges from diverse backgrounds, this project reenvisions Shakespeare for the twenty-first century. These volumes make these works available for the first time in print—a new First Folio for a new era.

Edward the Confessor - Peter Rex

Edward the Confessor was the son of King Aethelred the Unready of the House of Wessex. The family was exiled to Normandy when the Danish invaded England in 1013 but, with the nation in crisis on the death of King Harthacnut twenty-nine years later, Edward was named King of England, restoring the throne to English rule. Often portrayed as a holy simpleton, Edward was in fact a wily and devious king. For most kings a childless marriage would have been an Achilles'' heel, but Edward turned it to his advantage. He cunningly played off his potential rivals and successors, using the prize of the throne as leverage. Though his reign was peaceful, his death would wreak havoc. Bloody wars were waged, two claimants were cut down and William the Conqueror earned his name. Edward''s posthumous reputation grew as stories were spread by the monks of his magnificent foundation, Westminster Abbey. The childless king was transformed into a chaste, pious and holy man. Miracles were attributed to him and he was credited with the King''s Touch - the ability to cure illnesses by touch alone. In 1161 he was canonised as Saint Edward the Confessor and to this day he remains ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Riešenie drogového problému - L. Ron Hubbard

„Lieky a drogy okrádajú život o pocity radosti, ktoré sú tak či tak tými jedinými dôvodmi, prečo človek vlastne žije.“ L.Ron Hubbard Ak povieme, že drogy sa stali najväčším utrpením spoločnosti, zďaleka tým nevystihujeme skutočnú situáciu. Táto nákaza sa nevyhýba žiadnej oblasti života. Najočividnejšími vedľajšími produktmi sú zločin a násilie; okrem toho sú pokrivená morálka, predčasne ukončené štúdiá a v skutočnosti tiež zničené životy rovnako rozšírené a nie menej vážne. Tento problém sa neobmedzuje len na pouličné drogy. Podobne katastrofálne následky majú tiež lieky predpisované lekármi a psychiatrami, či už ide o lieky proti bolestiam, upokojujúce prostriedky alebo antidepresíva.

Dianetika - Původní teze - L. Ron Hubbard

Dianetika: Původní teze je první popis Dianetiky, který L. Ron Hubbard napsal. Původně kolovala mezi pár přáteli v podobě rukopisu, brzy se začala kopírovat a předávat z ruky do ruky, až nakonec obíhala doslova celý svět. Ale zvěsti, které se o ní šířily, tento oheň jen přiživovaly. Když Rona zaplavily tisíce dopisů dožadujících se více informací, usoudil, že jediným způsobem, jak tyto dotazy zodpovědět, je kniha. Tou knihou byla Dianetika: Moderní věda o duševním zdraví, nyní největší bestseller v oblasti mysli v historii. Zjistěte, čím to všechno začalo.

Základy organizovania - L. Ron Hubbard

Každý si uvedomuje, že ľudia by na tom boli lepšie, pokiaľ by veci boli lepšie zorganizované. Všetci máme zlé skúsenosti s byrokraciou, neosobnými vládnymi inštitúciami alebo nedbalými obchodnými podnikmi. Problém zlej organizácie je vážny a stojí miliardy, ktoré sú premrhané vďaka neefektívnosti a zníženej produktivite. „To, čo človeka sklame, nie sú jeho sny. Je to nedostatok know-how, ktoré je nevyhnutné k tomu, aby sa tieto sny mohli stať skutočnosťou. Na tomu, aby človek, ktorý sníva, videl svoje sny zrealizované, musí byť tiež schopný organizovať a školiť odborníkov v organizácii, ktorí tieto sny zrealizujú.“ L. Ron Hubbard

Deti - L. Ron Hubbard

Výchova šťastného a zdravého dieťaťa nie je niečo, čomu by sa väčšina rodičov učila. V skutočnosti, napriek svojim najlepším úmyslom, robia počas celej výchovy iba samé chybu. V dôsledku toho sa príliš často v rodinách stretávame so zlými vzťahmi spojenými s neprestajným napätím medzi rodičmi a deťmi. Toto nie je prirodzený stav. V skutočnosti sa tomu dá úplne vyvarovať. L. Ron Hubbard vyvinul veľa metód, aby v deťoch a ich rodičoch rozvinul to najlepšie. V tejto brožúre sa dočítate o niektorých z týchto metód a objavov, týkajúcich sa toho, ako vychovať dieťa bez toho, aby ste zlomili jeho ducha; ako mať dieťa, ktoré bude ochotné prispieť rodine, ako môžete dieťaťu pomôcť rýchlo prekonávať každodenné výbuchy a trápenia v živote. Výchova dieťaťa by mala byť radosťou. A môže to tak byť. V skutočnosti to môže byť zo všetkých ľudských zážitkov ten, ktorý prináša v živote najviac uspokojenia. Používanie scientologických prístupov pri výchove dieťaťa môže zaručiť, že deti budú šťastné, milujúce a produktívne, a že sa statnú hodnotnými členmi spoločnosti, v ktorej žijú.

God’s Little Artist is a biography in verse of Welsh painter Gwen John (1876 – 1939). As with many female painters of the time, John’s work was often overshadowed by that of her male contemporaries, especially her brother Augustus John. God’s Little Artist is a celebration of her passionate life and work, illustrated with precision, authenticity and the keen painterly eye of the poet, novelist and art critic Sue Hubbard.

Emocionálna tónová škála - L. Ron Hubbard

Ako často ste počuli niekoho povedať: „Ja ho nechápem?“ Nerozumné, nepredvídateľné činy sa občas zdajú byť medzi našimi blízkymi niečím úplne bežným. V skutočnosti tu nikdy neexistovala funkčná metóda, ako spoľahlivo predvídať ľudské správanie – až teraz. L. Ron Hubbard vyvinul práve takú metódu, ktorá je použiteľná na všetkých ľudí bez výnimky. S týmito údajmi je možné presne predpovedať prípadné správanie manželky, manžela, obchodného partnera, zamestnanca alebo priateľa, skôr ako s nimi nadviažete nejaký kontakt. Riziku zahrnutému v medziľudskom vzájomnom pôsobení sa môžeme vyhnúť úplne alebo ho minimalizovať, keď vieme spoľahlivo predvídať ako sa ľudia budú správať. Porozumením a používaním informácií v tejto brožúre, budú všetky stránky ľudských vzťahov produktívejšie a uspokojiejšie. Budete vedieť, s kým sa stretávať a komu sa vyhnúť, a budete schopní pomôcť tým, ktorí sa zietajú v nepríjemných situáciách s druhými. Predstavte si, že budete vo veľmi krátkom čase vedieť, ako sa ľudia budú správať v akejkoľvek danej situácii. Takáto vec je možná a môžete byť schopní predvídať to vždy a zakaždým.

Ako riešiť konflikty - L. Ron Hubbard

Zdá sa, že ľudia mávajú často problémy vychádzať jeden s druhým. Rodiny sa hádajú, susedia sú k sebe nevraživ, štáty bojujú jeden proti druhému. Musí to tak byť? Antropológovia, sociológovia, psychológovia a ďalší hovoria, že áno. Na základe pozorovania dlhej histórie ľudského neznášanlivého správania tvrdia, že človek má zvieracie inštinkty, alebo že je vo svojej pravej podstate násilnícky a antisociálny. Popravdupovediac, človek je skôr mierumilovný, ale môže byť dohnaný, ako jedinec aj ako kolektív, k nenávisti a násiliu. Pri skúmaní príčin násilia, L. Ron Hubbard odhalil základný a prirodzený zákon ľudských vzťahov, ktorý vysvetluje, prečo je tak často ťažké napraviť konflikty medzi ľuďmi. Poskytol tým nesmierne cenný prostriedok, ktorý umožňuje vyriešiť každý konflikt, či už medzi susedmi, spolupracovníkmi alebo dokonca štátmi. V tejto brožúrke zistíte, ako pomôcť iným vyriešiť ich názorové rozdiely a obnoviť mierumilovné vzťahy. Mier a harmónia medzi ľuďmi môže byť viac než len sen. Rozsiahle použitie tohto zákona zmení tento sen na skutočnosť.

The Failure of Risk Management - Douglas W. Hubbard

A practical guide to adopting an accurate risk analysis methodology The Failure of Risk Management provides effective solutionstosignificantfaults in current risk analysis methods. Conventional approaches to managing risk lack accurate quantitative analysis methods, yielding strategies that can actually make things worse.

Sarah Medway – the River Series - Sue Hubbard, Anna McNay, Sarah Medway

This, London-based painter Sarah Medway’s second publication from Anomie Publishing, is devoted to the subject of the River Thames. The publication presents a series of twenty-eight oil paintings created in Medway’s canal-side studio in central London during the Covid-19 lockdowns of 2020-21.An introductory text by critic and writer Sue Hubbard takes readers through the series, exploring how the paintings engage with the qualities and complexities of the river to represent all manner of concepts, experiences, and emotions, from a yearning for lost freedoms to roam the city during the pandemic to evocations of the subterranean waterways that form part of the city’s mythology. Like a flâneuse, Medway follows the river across the city, spanning the seasons, in various weather, light, and atmospheric conditions, at different times.The Thames is beautiful, terrifying, powerful, alluring, and dangerous. Medway captures the river’s eclectic dynamics, rhythms and energy through the language of abstract painting, the ripples, bubbles, eddies and currents, the reflections and refractions denoted through sinuous lines, ellipses and spots, dots and loops, flecks and swirls. Referencing twentieth-century modernist movements such as De Stijl, Tachisme and post-war American Abstract Expressionism, Medway’s own, lyrical, often graphic approach to painting the Thames results in a vivid ...

Ian McKeever – Against Architecture - Sue Hubbard, Ian McKeever, Violet McClean, Mark Prince

British artist Ian McKeever has been working on the international stage for more than five decades. This, his latest publication, documents Against Architecture – an exhibition that had its first incarnation, curated by Robin Klassnik, at Matt’s Gallery, London (5 February to 19 March 2017) before being reconceived and presented as Against Architecture, Remodelled at TheGallery, Arts University Bournemouth (3 November 2023 to 18 January 2024), curated by Violet M McClean as part of TheGallery’s twenty-fifth anniversary celebrations.

For this, along with a team of helpers and student volunteers, he built a structure with 3 x 2-inch stud walling timbers and sheets of plasterboard comprising myriad walls, passageways, openings, ledges and platforms, challenging the conventional white cube gallery space and bringing the viewer’s body into heightened dialogue with both their surroundings and the artworks. The works, a series of the acclaimed artist’s abstract paintings combined with ostensibly abstract photographs, pose formal and theoretical questions about perception, ...

Edward the Elder - Michael John Key

Edward the Elder succeeded his father Alfred the Great to the kingdom of Wessex, but was largely overlooked by his contemporaries (at least in terms of the historical record) and to a greater or lesser extent by later historians. He is the forgotten son of Alfred. Edward deserves to be recognised for his contribution to Anglo-Saxon history and a new assessment of his reign is overdue. He proved equal to the task of cementing and extending the advances made by his father, and paved the way for the eventual unification of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms and the nation-state of England. The course of English medieval history after his death was a direct outcome of military successes during his reign.Edward was a ruthlessly efficient military strategist and commander, a strong and stable ruler and administrator, and the most powerful figure during the early decades of the tenth century. He and his famous sister Æthelflæd constructed fortresses to guard against Viking attacks and Edward conquered the southern Danelaw. He should be acknowledged as a great Anglo-Saxon king in his own right, and is entitled to stand comparison with every English monarch in the millennium that has passed since his reign.

Hugh Despenser the Younger and Edward II - Kathryn Warner

Hugh Despenser the Younger and Edward II tells the story of ‘the greatest villain of the fourteenth century’, his dazzling rise as favorite to the king and his disastrous fall.Born in the late 1280s, Hugh married King Edward I of England’s eldest granddaughter when he was a teenager. Ambitious and greedy to an astonishing degree, Hugh chose a startling route to power: he seduced his wife’s uncle, the young King Edward II, and became the richest and most powerful man in the country in the 1320s. For years he dominated the English government and foreign policy, and took whatever lands he felt like by both quasi-legal and illegal methods, with the king’s connivance. His actions were to bring both himself and Edward II down, and Hugh was directly responsible for the first forced abdication of a king in English history; he had made the horrible mistake of alienating and insulting Edward’s queen Isabella of France, who loathed him, and who had him slowly and grotesquely executed in her presence in November 1326.
