Merlin Stone Bücher

Hier wird die archäologisch dokumentierte Geschichte der Religion der Göttin erzählt. Sie war bekannt unter vielen Namen – Astarte, Isis, Ishtar und anderen – und herrschte im Nahen und Mittleren Osten. Neben ihrer Verehrung für Fruchtbarkeit wurde sie als weise Schöpferin und als die eine Quelle universeller Ordnung verehrt. Unter ihrer Herrschaft unterschieden sich die Rollen der Frauen erheblich von denen in patriarchalen jüdisch-christlichen Kulturen. Frauen kauften und verkauften Eigentum, handelten auf dem Markt, und das Erbe von Titeln und Eigentum wurde von Mutter zu Tochter weitergegeben. Wie kam es zu diesem Wandel? Durch die Dokumentation der umfassenden Umgestaltung von Mythen und religiösen Dogmen beschreibt Merlin Stone eine der ältesten Verschwörungen: die patriarchale Neudefinition der Göttin als lüsterne, verdorbene Figur. Dies ist das Porträt, das die Grundlage für eine der größten Täuschungen der Kultur legte – die Legende von Adam und der gefallenen Eva.

Here, archaeologically documented, is the story of the religion of the Goddess. Known by many names--Astarte, Isis, Ishtar, among others--she reigned supreme in the Near and Middle East. Beyond being worshiped for fertility, she was revered as the wise creator and the one source of universal order. Under her, women's roles differed markedly from those in patriarchal Judeo-Christian cultures. Women bought and sold property, traded in the marketplace, and the inheritance of title and property was passed from mother to daughter. How did the change come about? By documenting the wholesale rewriting of myth and religious dogmas, Merlin Stone details a most ancient conspiracy: the patriarchal re-imaging of the Goddess as a wanton, deprave figure. This is the portrait the laid the foundation for one of culture's greatest shams--the legend of Adam and fallen Eve.

* Market-specific to financial services * CD Rom providing KAM analysis software, and access to further support. * Practical tools, both in the text and the CD-ROM Building on the success of Peter Cheverton's generic book, Key Account Management, (now in its third edition), Key Account Management in Financial Services follows a broadly similar structure but is aimed at sales and marketing people in the financial services (FS) sector. Designed for practitioners and managers responsible for implementation, the focus is on ""making it happen,"" using real examples to illustrate tools and models, and to highlight success and failure. The book takes the readers through a developing process of understanding, analysis, planning, implementation, and performance monitoring, matching the development over time of their own plans. It is intended to be used as a ""before, during, and after"" guide to practical implementation. Targeted narrowly on financial services, the book addresses the changing environment and the new imperatives for KAM -- the rising cost of sales, regulatory bodies, globalization of customers, new customer organizations; the buying process in Financial Services; ""Competitor Replacement Strategies,"" a particular feature of the FS market. Also included are a much expanded section on E-commerce and the Internet, and one on the management of non Key Accounts, vital to the success of any KAM strategy in these markets

When the two officers are drawn into a historic serial killer cold case, Addilyn wrestles with the dilemma between doing what she is told, and what is right. She must decide between career and conscience as the pair seek to vindicate an innocent man and bring a killer to justice. Will they be able to settle their differences in time to identify the killer known as the Double Spiral Strangler before he disappears again?
