29% SOLUTION : 52 Weekly Networking Sucess Strategies [Ivan R Misner, Ph.D.] In many ways, success at networking is the uncommon application of common knowledge. Most people understand that networking is important to their success -- they just lack a step-by-step process to get the results they want. Almost no one really implements a comprehensive methodology that will build a business through networking. Thus, the need to network is 'common knowledge', and the development of the methodology required to be successful at it is the 'uncommon application'. By reading this book, you will experience the true essence and meaning of networking. "The 29% Solution" gives you the answers to two conflicting questions that a business owner or salesperson faces every day: How can I tend to my existing clients while at the same time network for new business? and, should I place higher value on my current clients or on new clients? { 286pp, 155x230mm, September 2008; HB, £14.99, 1929774540:9781929774548 , Greenleaf Book Group (aha!

52 TIPS FOR NO-LIMIT TEXAS HOLD 'EM POKER [Barry Shulman] This book picks up where '52 Tips for Texas Hold 'em' left off. The first 52 Tips book focuses primarily on looking at your own hand and providing general rules for how to play it at various points in the progression of the hand. It is a wonderful specific beginning primer. The book assumes that you have much of that beginning knowledge, particularly which hands to play in what position, and adapts those strategies to no-limit. The book focuses on your hand and stack size relative to others at the table and shows how to adjust your play to those situations. No-limit hold'em is primarily situational, concerned more about what the other guy has and who he is than about your own hand. Here are 52 tips that will improve your no-limit hold'em game. { 144pp, 140x215mm, October 2006; PB, £9.99, 0975895311:9780975895313 , Greenleaf Book Group (Card Player Press) }
52 TIPS FOR TEXAS HOLD'EM POKER [Mark Gregorich & Barry Shulman] One of the fascinating aspects about Hold'Em is its dual nature. The game is both incredibly simple and incredibly complex. If you have watched any World Poker Tour (WPT) broadcast, you have heard Hold'Em described as a game that takes a minute to learn and a lifetime to master. That is really true, and a large part of the appeal of the game is that you can sit down and learn how to play almost immediately. This book provides someone who has played little or no limit Hold Em with a sound basic strategy that will add to both his enjoyment of the game and his bottom line. You must walk before you can run, and this book teaches those first steps. { 154pp, 140x215mm, December 2005; PB, £13.50, 0975895303:9780975895306 , Greenleaf Book Group (Card Player Press) }

While we tend to know our conscious minds -- our ants -- rather well, we often overlook the power of our elephantine subconscious minds. When we do, unfortunately, we squander a wellspring of human potential. { 115pp, 155x230mm, September 2006; HB, £13.50, 1893430146:9781893430143 , Greenleaf Book Group (Be Invinceable Group) }

GROWING THE DISTANCE : Timeless Principles for Personal, Career & Family Success [Jim Clemmer] At home or in the workplace, change is an inevitable fact of life. How we choose to respond to it -- as leaders or as followers -- determines our personal and professional growth. This book is about developing the leader within all of us. This helps us to continue 'growing at the speed of change'. A central theme of the book is that leadership is action, not a position. We all need to be leaders regardless of our formal title or role. This starts with inner self leadership and moves outward to influence, guide, support, and lead others. Leadership ultimately shows itself in what we do 'out there', but it starts 'in here'. { 191pp, 160x235mm, December 2005; PB, £9.99, 0968467539:9780968467534 , Greenleaf Book Group (The Clemmer Group) }

HORMONES, HEALTH & HAPPINESS : A Natural Medical Formula for Rediscovering Youth with Bioidentical Hormones [Steven F Hotze, MD] Dr Steven Hotze is leading a wellness revolution that advances a new model of healthcare. Unlike the prevailing medical approach of treating individual symptoms with the familiar "anti" drugs -- such as antibiotics, antihistamines, and antidepressants -- Dr Hotze addresses the underlying causes of poor health. Built around a regimen of biologically identical hormones and other natural treatments, Dr Hotze's model will help you obtain and maintain health and wellness naturally so that you can enjoy a better quality of life. In this book you are shown how to reach and maintain optimal cell, tissue, and organ functioning so that you will feel at your peak physically, mentally, and emotionally. After your twenties, your hormone levels have already peaked and begun a slow, inexorable decline that may cause you to lose energy and gain weight. You may experience mood problems or have difficulty with thinking, concentration, and short-term memory. Your immune system is likely to become less efficient, leaving you vulnerable to infectious diseases. Dr Hotze reveals how you can restore hormones to their optimal levels using natural, biologically identical hormones in a safe, effective way that preserves vitality as you mature. In his eight-point treatment program, Dr Hotze addresses the entirety of your wellness: airborne allergies, food allergies, yeast overgrowth, low thyroid function, natural hormone replacement, treatment of adrenal fatigue, nutritionally balanced eating, and vitamin and mineral supplementation. He reveals how most illnesses are due to poor dietary habits and nutrition, lack of exercise, allergic disorders that weaken the immune system and make it more prone to infection, yeast overgrowth due to overuse of antibiotics, an imbalance and decline in the body's production of thyroid and sex hormones, and stressed adrenal glands. All of these factors can be addressed safely, effectively, and naturally without drugs. { 351pp, 155x230mm, December 2005; HB, £16.99, 0976575108:9780976575108 , Greenleaf Book Group (Forrest Publishing) }
HOT IDEAS FOR A COOLER PLANET [Wendy Abrams] Galvanised into action by a 2001 'Time' article on climate change, Wendy Abrams spearheaded Chicago's 'Cool Globes' public art exhibit, which showcased 123 artist-designed globes, each offering its own perspective on global warming. "Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet" offers full-colour photos of the pieces, along with commentary from the artists, statistics about the environment, and useful advice on how each of us can change our lives to keep things cooler on planet Earth. A companion piece to the installation, this work will help spread the message of the exhibit beyond the estimated 3-5 million people who visited the globes. Avoiding the 'doom and gloom' attitude of many global warming messages, Abrams and the artists seek to inform the public about a pressing situation in a constructive manner. And the book is refreshingly apolitical -- "Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet" makes our environment a human issue, not a political one. { 160pp, 285x285mm, October 2007; HB, £26.99, 0976324520:9780976324522 , Greenleaf Book Group (Imagination) }

He must find the man whose teachings formed the foundation for the Republic's strength and power -- Juve has to save the man some say was the son of God.

MULLIGAN [Nathan Jorgenson] A gentle rain began to tap at the aluminium roof of the truck topper as Joe's day drifted into darkness. So was this any improvement over a small motel room? Joe wondered.

YOGA NIDRA MEDITATION CD : Extreme Relaxation of Conscious Deep Sleep [Swami Jnaneshvara Bharati] Yoga Nidra means 'Yogic Sleep'. It is a deep relaxation in which you leave the waking state, go past the dreaming state, and enter into the deep sleep state, while remaining fully awake and alert. This state of awareness is extremely beneficial, both for releasing stress, and for experiencing the joy of subtler spiritual explorations or experiences. The voice will systematically guide you to explore your physical body, then move through 61 specific points within the body, and then practice ascending breath awareness along the body and spine. Your attention will be brought to the space between the eyebrows, then to the throat, and finally to the heart centre, where you will go deep into stillness and silence, beyond the activities of the mind. Following the custom of the ancient sages, the depth of Yoga Nidra comes from inner awareness of the levels of your own self, including your body, breath, and the subtler mind, rather than diverting attention through music or inner fantasies. Approximate running time: 65 minutes. { October 2003; CD, £13.50, 0972471901:9780972471909 , Greenleaf Book Group (Tranquility Productions) }
