Enduring Wealth

Being Rich in This World and the Next

Most people think a great life is built on big moments. It isn't. A great life is built on small decisions made consistently over time. A missed priority here. A neglected relationship there. Too much pressure. Too little margin. Over time, those small choices quietly shape the direction of a life. But there is another way to live. After decades of leadership, raising a family, and helping people navigate life's biggest decisions, Chris Hodges discovered something that changes everything: The quality of your life is determined by the principles that guide it. Principles simplify decisions. Principles steady you in difficult seasons. Principles help you build a life that lasts. &nbsp;In Legacy Letters, a practical and deeply personal book, Hodges shares the timeless principles that have shaped his life, leadership, relationships, and legacy. These aren't theories or motivational slogans. They are lessons learned through real life-through mentors, mistakes, family, and decades of walking alongside people through the highs and lows of life. This book is designed to be read one principle a day for 30 days, giving you a clear framework for building a better life. Then you'll spend the rest of the year putting those principles into practice-because principles are not meant to be memorized, they are meant to be lived. Inside, you'll discover powerful principles such as:The Big Rocks Principle - start life right by putting first things firstThe Calendar Principle - take control of your schedule before something else doesThe Compounding Principle - small daily disciplines create extraordinary results over timeThe Margin Principle - create breathing room so pressure doesn't control your lifeThe Who Principle - the people around you shape the future ahead of youThe Green-Grass Principle - the best relationships are the ones you invest inThe Goldmine Principle - learn to see the potential in peopleThe Orchestra Principle - life works better when it's built around "we" instead ofThe Significance Principle - the greatest life is the one that helps others win&nbsp;Filled with memorable phrases, practical wisdom, and honest stories from a life of leadership, Legacy Letters will help you:Make wiser decisionsBuild stronger relationshipsCreate margin and clarity in a crowded worldFocus your time on what matters mostLeave a legacy that lasts&nbsp;Because methods change. Trends change. Circumstances change. But principles never do. Live by the right principles, and you won't just succeed. You'll build a life that truly works.

Timeless Principles I Learned, Lived, and Leave Behind

“Love Me to Death&nbsp;is funny, swoony, packed with adventure, and set against an incredible Latin American-inspired fantasy world that pops off the pages. There’s so much to love about this romantic and magical series!"&nbsp;—Sable Sorensen,&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;bestselling author of&nbsp;Dire Bound Toonimated’s wildy popular Webtoon is now in print with a never-before-seen short story! For fans of&nbsp;Anatomy: A Love Story&nbsp;and&nbsp;Lore Olympus&nbsp;comes a graphic novel romantasy about the love triangle between a necromancer, a resurrected bride, and her very-much-alive groom. In the city of San Guadario, necromancy has been banned for one hundred years. Every aspect of life, from buying food to getting married, requires a signature written in one's own blood. If a necromancer were to sign, their identity would be revealed by the magic that courses through their veins. As a necromancer, Victor and his cute one-eyed cat must live a discreet life, constantly on the run. Everything changes when the wealthiest patron in San Guadario hires Victor to resurrect his recently deceased, and impossibly beautiful, bride. The catch? Victor must perform an ancient ritual which eternally binds himself to this bride. After he brings her back to life, Victor finds himself magically entangled with the bride and groom and caught in the middle of more romance than he knows what to do with. Adapted from the wildly popular webtoon series, Love Me to Death is a gorgeously illustrated saga that is bound to stop your heart.

Studies in Penal Theory and Ethics

This book explores the connections between punishment theory and punishment practice It shines a much-needed light on the relation between how punishment is experienced by those subjected to it (and others), and the more general consideration of what justifies punishment in the first place. Leading experts in the field weigh up what is appropriate punishment - both in quantitative and in non-quantitative ways. It explains why punishment is so difficult to justify, looks at the compatibility of modes and processes of penal sanctions, and explore how best to achieve the aspiration to set reasonable terms for future coexistence through state punishment. The book addresses key topics such as life imprisonment, what is at stake when we use prisons to punish, and how criminal offenders can be successfully integrated into society. It considers how we know whether we over-punish offenders, what we should do in response to excessive punishment, and the possibility of replacing punitive systems with non-punitive ones. Overall, the book makes a groundbreaking contribution to the philosophy of punishment, explicitly connecting general, abstract questions about the moral and political justification of punishment with empirical insight into the realities and experiences of punishment practices.

Punishment Theory Meets Punishment Practice

The employee whose work has slipped for months. The peer who talks over you in every meeting. The conversation you keep rehearsing and never having. This book ends that pattern for good.

Most managers weren't taught how to have hard conversations - they were just expected to figure it out, usually by avoiding them until avoidance itself became the habit. The Hard Conversation Habit replaces guesswork with a structure you can use the same day you read it: a five-step method for delivering feedback, resolving conflict, and holding people accountable, without either softening the truth into uselessness or delivering it so bluntly that it damages the relationship.

This is not a book about becoming a harsher, colder version of yourself. Every script and structure inside assumes you actually care about the person on the other side of the conversation - and gives you a repeatable way to turn that care into something clear and actionable, instead of something that quietly turns into silence.

What's inside:

- The SBI-Plus method: a five-step structure for any hard conversation, from a quick correction to a formal review
- Why managers go silent - and the specific, nameable fear behind each kind of avoidance
- Full worked scripts for performance conversations, team conflict, accountability follow-ups, and saying no without burning a bridge
- How to deny a promotion honestly, without crushing motivation or offering empty reassurance
- A structure for ending someone's employment with as much dignity as the situation allows
- How to raise hard conversations upward, with your own manager, without unnecessary risk
- Building a team culture where direct, honest conversation is normal at every level - not just from the top down

Frozen Frames – Funken auf dem Eis

“Schlink knows how to tell a gripping yarn . . . [The Granddaughter] is a rewarding and wonderfully readable novel.” —The Guardian“A brilliant dissection of a fragmented nation in which a glimmer of hope relieves a somber but wholly memorable tale.” —Kirkus (starred review)From the bestselling author of The Reader, a striking exploration of the past, told through the story of a German bookseller’s attempt to connect with his radicalized granddaughter.It is only after the sudden death of his wife, Birgit, that Kaspar discovers the price she paid years earlier when she fled East Germany to join him: she had to abandon her baby. Shattered by grief, yet animated by a new hope, Kaspar closes up his bookshop in present day Berlin and sets off to find her lost child in the east.His search leads him to a rural community of neo-Nazis, intent on reclaiming and settling ancestral lands to the East. Among them, Kaspar encounters Svenja, a woman whose eyes, hair, and even voice remind him of Birgit. Beside her is a red-haired, slouching, fifteen-year-old girl. His granddaughter? Their worlds could not be more different— an ideological gulf of mistrust yawns between them— but he is determined to accept her as his own.More than twenty-five years after The Reader, Bernhard Schlink once again offers a masterfully gripping novel that powerfully probes the past’s role in contemporary life, transporting us from the divided Germany of the 1960s to modern day Australia, and asking what unites or separates us.Translated from the German by Charlotte Collins

The Granddaughter

Thinking Literature

A sweeping account of how we are at our most human when we turn away from the pains of the world. Why do we look away from the suffering of others? Why do we cover our faces in shame? Why do we lower our heads in grief? Few gestures are as universal as the averted gaze. Fewer still are as ambivalent and inscrutable. In this incisive study, Benjamin A. Saltzman reveals how the kaleidoscopic appearance of these gestures in art, poetry, and philosophy has turned them into an essential language for our uncomfortable engagements with the world, challenging us to reflect on the ways we fundamentally relate to others. Into the horizon of contemporary discourse, Turning Away sets out from five influential scenes in which figures avert their gaze: Timanthes's Sacrifice of Iphigenia, Plato's Republic, Augustine's Confessions, Christ's Crucifixion, and the Fall and Expulsion of Adam and Eve. The gestures of aversion in these scenes refract across visual media, through philosophy and politics, into modernity and the present day, having been reimagined along the way by thinkers like Hannah Arendt, artists like Marc Chagall and Salvador Dalí, poets like Langston Hughes, and many others. Saltzman offers a timely critique of the privilege of turning away and of the too-easy condemnation of our tendencies to do so.

Modern Studies in European Law

This timely edited collection offers a critical and multidisciplinary examination of the European Union's Migration and Asylum Pact, marking the third major reform phase of the Common European Asylum System. As the EU seeks to present a unified and effective response to migration challenges, the Pact introduces sweeping changes-from border procedures and asylum processing to external partnerships and data-driven governance. Bringing together leading scholars, legal practitioners, and NGO experts, the collection explores the Pact's implications ahead of its implementation. Contributors interrogate its legal foundations, political motivations, and operational mechanisms, offering insights into how the EU balances efficiency with fundamental rights, solidarity with sovereignty, and innovation with accountability. Organised around four central themes - political solidarity, border management, external cooperation, and rights compliance - the volume highlights the tensions and contradictions within the Pact. It asks: Can the EU harmonise divergent national approaches to migration? Will faster procedures compromise legal safeguards? How will partnerships with third countries affect asylum seekers' rights? With chapters covering topics such as AI at the border, the coloniality of digital technologies, and the role of EU institutions in enforcement and oversight, this book is an essential resource for academics, policymakers, lawyers, and students. It offers not only a critique but also a roadmap for understanding the future of asylum governance in Europe.

The fundamental litmus test for American democracy-its economy, government, criminal justice system, education, mass media, and culture-remains: how broad and intense are the arbitrary powers used and deployed against black people. In this sense, the problem of the twenty-first century remains the problem of the color line. --from the new Preface First published in 1993 on the one-year anniversary of the L.A. riots, Race Matters was a national best-seller, and it has since become a groundbreaking classic on race in America. Race Matters contains West's most powerful essays on the issues relevant to black Americans today: despair, black conservatism, black-Jewish relations, myths about black sexuality, the crisis in leadership in the black community, and the legacy of Malcolm X. And the insights that he brings to these complicated problems remain fresh, exciting, creative, and compassionate. Now more than ever, Race Matters is a book for all Americans, as it helps us to build a genuine multiracial democracy in the new millennium.

Race Matters

What justice requires when people change but their sentences stay the same. America loves a second chance story. Yet people convicted of serious crimes are seldom given one. Years after taking responsibility and working to repair harm, many remain behind bars even though their continued incarceration does little to keep us safer and carries tremendous human and financial costs.In Bending the Bars, Jessica S. Henry makes the case against endless punishment that leaves no room for redemption. Grounding her analysis of law and policy in the lived experiences of people directly affected by extreme sentences, Henry shows how accountability, public safety, and second chances can coexist within a framework that recognizes human dignity and the capacity for change.Urgent and compelling, this book challenges us to rethink who deserves a second chance, who gets to decide, and what justice demands beyond defining a person by the worst thing they have ever done.
