Seven Mile Bridge
Author: Michael M. Biehl
Publisher: Pineapple Press Inc
ISBN: 156164451X
Category : Adult children
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Michael Biehl's first two novels, mysteries featuring medical law, were highly critically acclaimed. Now he enters new territory with an intensely introspective mystery, so finely written that Seven Mile Bridge transcends the genre--but still keeps you turning pages to find out who, if anyone, did it. Jonathan Bruckner, a middle-aged Florida Keys diveshop owner with a taste for whiskey and not much else, has returned to his Wisconsin childhood home after his mother's death. He knows he should tidy up, sell the house, and get back to the Keys. But he admits his journey home has deeper objectives. "I didn't travel from Marathon, Florida, to Sheboygan, Wisconsin, and close my dive shop for three weeks because I thought I would find valuables or money in the house on Foxglove Lane. I came because I thought I might find answers." What he finds in sifting through the sad remnants of his once-happy family life spins him back to the quest that obsessed him in his early adult years. When he was seventeen, he found his father dead in the garage. All the grownups said it was suicide, but Jonathan thought he knew better. He risked his life and compromised his future trying to find his father's killer. He has lived his entire adult life under the cloud of his father's death, isolated by suspicion and frustrated by his failure to uncover the truth. He now has one final chance to solve the mystery and track down whoever was responsible. "Now, more than half my adult life is behind me, and where am I? Fearful that the blood of monsters runs in my veins, hoping for vindication, desperate for resolution one way or the other." As he searches for clues to his father's death, Jonathan is stunned by what he discovers about his father's life, and comes to know his parents in a way he never did as a child. He is shocked to find that he may have had a sister he never knew, and rediscovers his relationship with his schizophrenic brother. Mostly, he is surprised by what he learns about himself. Fluidly moving between past and present, between hope and despair, Seven Mile Bridge is a story about one man's obsession with the truth, and how much can depend on finding it.

Strategy That Works
Author: Paul Leinwand
Publisher: Harvard Business Review Press
ISBN: 1625275218
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
How to close the gap between strategy and execution Two-thirds of executives say their organizations don’t have the capabilities to support their strategy. In Strategy That Works, Paul Leinwand and Cesare Mainardi explain why. They identify conventional business practices that unintentionally create a gap between strategy and execution. And they show how some of the best companies in the world consistently leap ahead of their competitors. Based on new research, the authors reveal five practices for connecting strategy and execution used by highly successful enterprises such as IKEA, Natura, Danaher, Haier, and Lego. These companies: • Commit to what they do best instead of chasing multiple opportunities • Build their own unique winning capabilities instead of copying others • Put their culture to work instead of struggling to change it • Invest where it matters instead of going lean across the board • Shape the future instead of reacting to it Packed with tools you can use for building these five practices into your organization and supported by in-depth profiles of companies that are known for making their strategy work, this is your guide for reconnecting strategy to execution.

The Sacred Bridge
Author: Eric Werner
Publisher: KTAV Publishing House, Inc.
ISBN: 9780881250527
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
"This is the first full-length comparative study of the music of the Christian and Jewish liturgies. It is designed to show the liturgical and musical interdependence of Church and Synagogue during the first millennium of the Christian era and to highlight the series of cultural exhanges between East and West that occurred during those centuries. With a wealth of scholarly evidence, the author tells the story of the development of the Christian forms of worship, both Eastern and Roman. At the same time he explains the modifications made in Jewish ceremonies and rituals, in areas where Jews and Christians lived side by side, with resulting exchange in both directions, from Church to Synagogue as well as from Synagogue to Church. Professor Werner first examines Jewish practices of worship at the time of the beginnings of Christianity and then traces the spread and modifications of these ancient Jewish, and even pre-Jewish, conceptions of sacred music and ritual as they were adapted by various Christian groups. Historical, philological, and musicological scholarship is used to discover the complex interrelationship between Christian and Hebraic elements in prayer books, poetry and psalmody, hymns, devotional music, and all the other aspects of sacred liturgy. Professor Werner has used many sources previously neglected and has reexamined those already available. Scholars of theology, liturgy, and music, and historians as well, will find much that will stimulate further research, and all interested in the formation of the religions of the West will stand to profit from this scholarly work on the interplay of two great religious movements." --Jacket.
