Imagine sailing alone for 14 weeks in freezing temperatures aboard a 32-foot sailboat. Imagine your boat capsizing three times, and losing your mast and rigging. And imagine doing all this without modern electronic navigational tools like the Global Positioning System. ICE BIRD: The Classic Story of the First Single-handed Voyage to Antarctica chronicles the author's 1972 trip from Australia to Antarctica aboard the sailboat ICE BIRD. Along the way, David Lewis sank into unbelievable despair as his small boat lost its mast, and he suffered frostbite and broken ribs. Eventually, he lost the use of his radio and engine, and was forced to hand-steer the boat. Though it was summer in the Southern Hemisphere, it snowed daily. Lewis faced gale-force winds and huge waves as he sailed 3,500 miles in his jury-rigged sailboat. Once I started reading this book, I could not put it down. It tells the wonderful, true adventure of a man forced to overcome serious injury, damage to his boat and unbelievable stress as he captained his small craft more than halfway around the world at 60 degrees south latitude. If you enjoy sailing, read Lewis's adventure. You won't be able to put it down.

The Bullseye Principle is your complete guide to the award-winning, three-step process to influencing others through engaging and persuasive communication.

Now, in this step-by-step guide to The Pinnacle Method(TM), you can get what you want by becoming an intention-based communicator.

By not paying attention to such critical conveyors as voice, message, and body language, the point of our communication often falls short or is lost all together. The intuitive methodology inside gives you a robust toolset of performer-based secrets to use in a psychologically grounded approach to influencing your audience's behavior in meetings, during presentations or while interviewing for a job. David Lewis and G. Riley Mills are two innovators who have brilliantly combined proficiencies in acting and corporate management to create an empowering system of communication that is the heart of their internationally-recognized firm Pinnacle Performance Company. This timely follow-up to their widely-popular The Pin Drop Principle fully updates the real-world examples of how this unique methodology is used by leading organizations across the globe to inspire behavior change by influencing emotion.

Western aid is in decline. Non-traditional development actors from the developing countries and elsewhere are in the ascendant. A new set of global economic and political processes are shaping the twenty-first century. *BR**BR*This book engages with nearly two decades of continuity and change in the development industry. In particular, it argues that while the world of international development has expanded since the 1990s, it has become more rigidly technocratic. The authors insist on a focus upon the core anthropological issues surrounding poverty and inequality, and thus sharply criticise what are perceived as problems in the field. *BR**BR*Anthropology and Development is a completely rewritten edition of the best-selling and critically acclaimed Anthropology, Development and the Post-Modern Challenge (1996). It serves as both an innovative reformulation of the field, as well as a textbook for many undergraduate and graduate courses at leading international universities.
