With his wit, eloquence, and shrewd perception of contemporary morals, Samuel Johnson was the most versatile writer of the English neoclassical period. His dictionary, dramas, and poetry established his reputation, but it was the essays that demonstrated the rang e of his talent. This new edition presents both the forcefully argued moral pieces of Johnson's middle years and the more light-hearted essays of his later work. Tackling ethical questions-such as the importance of self-knowledge, awareness of mortality, the role of the novel, and, in a lighter vein, marriage, sleep, and deceit-these brilliant and thought-provoking essays are a mirror of the time in which they were written and a testament to Johnson's stature as the leading man of letters of his age.

Question by Chrissy Grace: How do you write romance without making it sound sappy?
I'm working on a novel with a little bit of romance in it. The romance isn't the central plot; the main focus is on an adventure/fantasy story. When I work in the little bits of romance, how do I avoid making it sound unrealistic? I want it to be believable because my hero and heroine aren't exactly the sappy type. How do I write romance scenes without it being the cheesy "you are my life now" kind of thing? Thanks in advance for the answers!

The foundations of modern scientific thought, four centuries old, are firmly rooted in a conception that the universe is a machinelike entity, a play of baubles, -machines, trinkets. Quantum mechanics and biology have begun to change this way of thinking, but even to this day, our real daily experience of ourselves as we actually are, has no clear place in science. No wonder that a machinelike world-view has supported the deadly architecture of the last century.
Alexander breaks away completely from the one-sided mechanical model; he shows us conclusively that the emergence of every act from a larger wholeness must change our understanding completely, and leads inevitably to the fact that a spiritual, emotional, and personal basis must underlie every act of building.
In the middle of the book comes the linchpin of the work; an 86-page chapter on color, which lavishly illustrates and dramatically conveys the way that consciousness and spirit make their appearance in the world.
Throughout this fourth and final book, is a new cosmology uniting matter and consciousness: self inextricably joined to the substrate of matter, present in all matter, and providing wholeness with its underpinnings.
The book provides a path for those contemporary scientists who are beginning to see consciousness as the underpinning of matter, and thus as a proper object of scientific study. It will change, forever, our conception of what buildings are.

How Coaching Works: The Essential Guide to the History and Practice of Effective Coaching
This book draws together the themes and principles of coaching, revealing the ideas that work at the root of all successful coaching techniques. It is a must-have for practicing coaches, students, and anyone interested in this increasingly popular subject.
Coaching is very big business. Over the last decade it has become one of the most popular approaches to personal and business development. However, coaching books tend to focus on just one method, and just one of five main areas: executive coaching (for senior business people), business coaching (for companies to improve results), life coaching (for people who want a better sense of fulfillment and well-being), sports coaching (for individual athletes), and team coaching (for teams in sport or business).
Pragmatic and informative, How Coaching Works is the first book to explain the key concepts that underpin all of these different areas. It also explores how different ideas have blended to give rise to what we know as coaching today, and singles out what works.
The book is written by two of the world's leading experts in this field. Joseph O’Connor and Andrea Lages are co-founders of the International Coaching Community, a community of over one thousand coaches from thirty-one countries. They are experienced coaches and have worked in life, business, and executive coaching. O'Connor is a leading consultant on coaching, training, and neuro-ling uistic programming (NLP). He has published twelve best-selling titles, including Introducing NLP and Coaching with NLP. His work has been translated into eighteen languages.
