Michael West Bücher

„Wer kann bei einem solchen Buch auf Einwände hören? Es erscheint mir eine nationale Wohltat und jedem, der es liest, ein persönlich erwiesener Liebesdienst zu sein“ William M. Thackeray

There's a time to run, and a time to pick up a gun. Especially in the City of Angels, where the police are at war with the Stay Ready Soldiers, a militant group based in South Central. Tonight, Geronimo and Kali must rely on each other as they traverse a perilous concrete wasteland, dodging bullets every step of the way.

Focusing on the significant yet often overlooked phenomenon of work role transitions, this comprehensive study delves into the causes, forms, and outcomes of job changes, particularly among middle to senior managers. It introduces a new theoretical framework for understanding these transitions, exploring their psychological impacts on individuals and how organizations manage them. The book highlights the unique experiences of women in management compared to men, providing valuable insights for both specialists and non-specialists regarding the interplay between social change and organizational dynamics.

There is a fine line between love and madness, between insanity and pure evil. This is Michael West at his terrifying best! From heart-stopping horror to the strangest of fantasies - these are tales from the darkest regions of his twisted imagination! All the usual tropes are here - vampires and shapeshifters, ghosts and witches, gods and monsters, mummies and zombies - but none of them are exactly what you would expect... A dream vacation takes a nightmarish turn when a couple finds they did not come home alone... A man agrees to a meeting with his estranged wife and learns the horrible, obscene truth of the old saying: "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned..." An American platoon, cut off from the outside world, discovers an unbelievable enemy they were never trained to fight... And a man struggling with depression and grief receives text messages from beyond the grave, messages that push him to the edge of sanity...and beyond... Ten more reasons to say your prayers. Ten more reasons to check beneath your bed. Ten more reasons why you may never want to close your eyes again.

This new edition retains the essential features of Michael West's work and brings the text up to date in various ways. As before it explains the words likely to be encountered in general reading within a vocabulary of 1,455 common words. New headwords added for this edition have been defined within this vocabulary and where a word outside it is used, for example as a cross-reference, it is printed in small capital letters. A new pronunciation system uses that form of the International Phonetic Alphabet which is now found in other Longman dictionaries. A further new feature is a label for each headword showing which part of speech is being defined.

Jonathan Swifts glänzend erzählter fantastischer Roman Gullivers Reisen ist bis heute eines der meistgelesenen Werke der Weltliteratur. Die bei Kindern und Jugendlichen beliebtesten beiden Abenteuergeschichten des englischen Schiffsarztes Lemuel Gulliver sind in diesem Hausbuch versammelt, ungekürzt und erstmals durchgehen farbig illustriert. Auf der ersten Reise lässt der fabulierfreudige Autor seinen fiktiven Helden auf der von Winzlingen bewohnten Insel Liliput stranden. Auf der zweiten Reise verschlägt es Gulliver ins Land der Riesen. Die frohe Botschaft der beiden temporeichen und zeitlos gültigen Geschichten: Groß und klein ergeben sich erst durch Vergleich - alles ist relativ. Genau genommen leben sehr wenige Menschen in der Gegegenwart. Die meisten bereiten sich vor, demnächst zu leben. Jonathan Swift
