Handbook of Warning Intelligence: Assessing the Threat to National Security was written during the cold war and was classified for 40 years. The majority of this manual, however, is now finally available to the general public. An abridged version, Anticipating Surprise: Analysis for Strategic Warning, was published, but this original document goes into much greater detail about the fundamentals of intelligence analysis and forecasting. It discusses military analysis, as well as the difficulties in understanding political, civil, and economic analysis and assessing what it means for analysts to have "warning judgment." Much of what Grabo writes in her book seems to appear in many of the numerous commission reports that emerged after the 9/11 attacks. However, this book was written in response to the "surprise attack" of the Soviet Union's invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. According to the author, that event was no surprise. And while analysts have to take some ...

Elsa Schiaparelli (1890-1973) was the premier style arbiter of the 1930s - a favourite designer for women who made the best-dressed list, of female sports heroes, and of film and theatre actresses. This book takes a comprehensive look at the work of this startling and innovative Paris fashion designer. "Shocking!" explores the Italian-born designer's career from its modernist beginnings in the 1920s to the closing of her salon in 1954. Author Dilys Blum discusses in detail Schiaparelli's impact on and relationship with the American fashion industry, the foundation of her great success. She also addresses how Schiaparelli's early designs were acclaimed for the architectural quality of her silhouettes and her use of unconventional materials.

"Peace Between the Sheets offers "a simple but revolutionary analysis: modern relationships often founder because of dysfunctional sexual habits. But when couples shift away from "heat-centered" toward "heart-centered" sexual interactions, they gain a mutual satisfaction that transcends physical gratification. Robinson advocates teaching the body a different response to sexual arousal that is driven by love over biology. The benefits include reducing stress, rejuvenating the body, helping overcome addictions, and developing a positive outlook. Over two parts, "Why" and "How," the book devotes twelve chapters to topics like "Why do We Fall Out of Love?," "Outwitting Biology," "Want to Try It?," and "The Ecstatic Exchanges."

'Großartige Schauspieler spielen nicht, sie leben', ist die Devise von Larry Moss, der selbst bei namhaften Schauspiellehrern wie Stella Adler und Sanford Meisner sein Handwerk erlernte. 1990 gründete er 'The Larry Moss Studio' und avancierte bald zu einem der anerkanntesten Schauspielcoaches in Los Angeles. Er arbeitete u. a. mit Helen Hunt, Hilary Swank und Leonardo DiCaprio, deren Darstellungen daraufhin mit Golden Globes, Emmys oder Oscars gewürdigt wurden. Ausgehend von 'the method', hat Larry Moss seine eigene Schauspielmethode entwickelt, welche spezifische Eigenheiten der Schauspielerpersönlichkeit herausarbeitet, mit dem Ziel, Skript und Rolle glaubwürdig zum Leben zu erwecken. Weit mehr als ein Ratgeber ist dieses Buch auch ein 'Credo' des Meisters, der anhand zahlreicher Anekdoten und Praxisbeispiele auf höchst unterhaltsame Weise vor Augen führt, wann, warum und wie aus einem guten Schauspieler ein großartiger Schauspieler werden kann....
