"In a time before time, in a place before place, Mysogino ruled with odiferous power. Intrigue was rampant in the court. The King's warriors, having gone eons without food or promotions, were very upset. Hurt feelings, dyspepsia and blood soaked the land. Plots to dethrone the King were an everyday occurrence as horrible tales of dishonesty and spousal abuse spewed out of the mouth of the towne-crier every morn." "Into this tumult rode a freelance known only as Drazxcycheromaticolitis. He came from a faraway world in another realm next to another universe directly across the Galaxy from a place before yesterday. His mission - and he chose to accept it - was to bring light back into this dark, dusty and furball-covered place. He would accomplish this onerous task by entering the psyche of Mysogino and healing his twisted soul from within. Ride along with Drazxcycheromaticolitis as he navigates through the multiple warped personalities of the evil King and struggles to bring three squares a day to the people."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

How do clients perceive the counselling process? What do they require from it? Counsellors and therapists are increasingly aware of the need to bring the client s viewpoint into the therapeutic relationship. Both the effectiveness of the process, and the need to meet the client s needs in a service context, have demanded more awareness of the client s perceptions and needs. This book provides a practical framework which describes how to construct a client counsellor relationship which is brief, collaborative and consultative in purpose but therapeutic in form. Counsellors, social workers, nurses, psychologists, psychiatrists and all professionals engaged in counselling activities, whether in a workplace or mental health care context, will welcome this essential and practical guide to more effective therapeutic consultations. Readers will also appreciate the concise overview of the theoretical basis of this approach.

This informative and occasionally bizarre collection of American inventions will help you discover successful and significant ideas--along with the frivolous and utterly useless ones lost to history. Innovation and entrepreneurism appear inextricably woven into the American DNA. Throughout American history, the great inventors and innovators gazed into the future and saw the products and services that would transform the world. While passionate about creating this new thing called a democracy, our Founding Fathers were also driven to change the way humans lived and worked--to complete everyday tasks faster, easier, and more efficiently. As of 2018, the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office had granted its ten millionth patent. But with over 500,000 applications now being filed annually, fewer than half of these applicants will be granted patents and far fewer still--an estimated one percent--will realize commercial success, according to the Office. Some are flawed by mistakes or missing details, others too ridiculous to take seriously, still others simply ahead of their time. From the brightest and most innovative to the wackiest, most bizarre, and downright crazy, this collection of 100 patents includes funny and informative descriptions and original illustrations, all the while letting you in on what most successful patents have in common, what inspired their creators, and how great inventors view the world.

There is still a great deal of hype (and hysteria) about offshore outsourcing, but very little clarity or plan of action for many businesses looking to understand the trend. Most literature on the subject is aimed at large organisations and businesses with an existing global presence. This is a significant oversight, since the Sme sector accounts for a substantial proportion of economic wealth in the developed world and can benefit equally (if not more so) from the advantages of offshoring This book is the first to introduce, explain and explore the potential of offshore outsourcing for small to medium-sized enterprises (Smes) - an innovative business strategy that goes beyond cost reduction to significantly transform business performance. Providing a practical and clear guide for Smes to follow for a successful first venture into offshoring, Indian Take-Away: Offshore Outsourcing for Smes covers all the fundamentals, from getting started to making the move and managing risks.
