The Legislative Labyrinth: A Map for Not For Profits (Afp/Wiley Fund Development Series)
A simple, practical guide to help not-for-profit organizations lobby local, state, and federal legislative bodies Only a fraction of not-for-profit organizations take advantage of the legislative process in representing their members and their organization's goals. Yet lobbying is an important way to gain visibility, attract members, and find new sources of funding. This book is designed to help the modern not-for-profit develop and implement an effective lobbying program without jeopardizing its tax-exempt status. Dr. Pidgeon and the contributers he has assembled provide in-depth analysis of all the major issues of the lobbying process, including:
* The basics of lobbying
* The structure of local, state, and federal government
* Using the mass media to spread the message
* Political action committees (PACs)
* Marketing and communication strategies
* Strategic partnerships
* The legal aspects of government affairs and lobbying
* When and how to use outside consultants
* A strategic, step-by-step plan for success
Access to a website with a wide-ranging array of tables, forms, and checklists as well as a complete model strategic plan is included. When used in conjunction with the website, The Legislative Labyrinth is a comprehensive guide that explains and simplifies the process of developing and maintaining an effective, efficient government affairs program. This wealth of wise and insightful advice will help executive directors, board members, consultants, and lobbyists find creative, effective ways to earn the attention their organizations deserve.

For thousands of years, archetypal labyrinth patterns have been used as a powerful tool for resolving problems, access to inner peace, and spiritual alignment. A simple, yet highly effective practice, walking or tracing a labyrinth quiets the mind and takes you to a place where you can hear your own wisdom with clarity and calmness.
Author Lauren Artress, founder of Veriditas, the Worldwide Labyrinth Project and renowned expert on the subject, offers a lovely labyrinth kit, to be used anywhere, anytime—on tabletops, desktops, beds or laps.
Included in The Sand Labyrinth are a 10" square sandbox, two traditional labyrinth tops—each pattern creating a different meditative effect—that fit perfectly on top of a layer of fine white sand for finger tracing. The accompanying book contains five sections devoted to using the labyrinth for healing, creativity, discovering your soul assignment, awakening self-knowledge, and honoring your experience.
You'll also find words of wisdom from sages of all traditions and ages, plus testimonials from ordinary people who have found extraordinary results from the soothing, mesmerizing power of the labyrinth—to help deepen your meditation practice.

The Way of the Labyrinth: A Powerful Meditation for Everyday Life
The Way of the Labyrinth: A Powerful Meditation for Everyday Life
The first time Helen Curry walked a labyrinth she was moved to tears and then "was filled with peace and possibilities." Here, she shares her years of experience with labyrinth meditation and shows how others can find serenity and guidance by adopting this increasingly popular practice. Unlike mazes, which force choices and can create fear and confusion, labyrinths are designed to "embrace" and guide individuals through a calming, meditative walk on a single circular path. The Way of the Labyrinth includes meditations, prayers, questions for enhancing labyrinth walks, guidelines for ceremonies, instructions for finger meditations, and extensive resources. This enchanting, practical, and exquisitely packaged guide helps both novice and experienced readers enjoy the benefits of labyrinth meditation, from problem-solving to stress reduction to personal transformation. Includes a foreword by Jean Houston, the renowned author and leader in the field of humanistic psychology, who is considered the grandmother of the current labyrinth revival.

Home Waters: Fishing with an Old Friend: A Memoir
Home Waters: Fishing with an Old Friend: A Memoir
Joseph Monninger thought the worst when Nellie, his loyal golden retriever, became ill. Home Waters is the story of the road trip that Monninger decided to embark on with Nellie, traveling out West to revisit their favorite mountain haunts and trout streams. Expecting this to be their final excursion together, Monninger maps a course that includes the Wind River Range in Wyoming, the Bighorn River in Montana, and Henry Ford's River in Idaho.
Painting a loving portrait of his canine companion and the joys of fishing, Monninger recalls the life events that Nellie has seen him through and describes how, oblivious to her presumed health problems, Nellie contentedly watches bison at Yellowstone, chases a coyote, and falls head over heels for a Chesapeake retriever named Chunky. Combining the charm of John Steinbeck's Travels with Charley with the unsentimental storytelling of A River Runs Through It, Home Waters is a delightful story of a beautiful friendship--one that is, in the end, renewed rather than ended.

The Labyrinth: Memoirs Of Walter Schellenberg, Hitler s Chief Of Counterintelligence
The Labyrinth: Memoirs Of Walter Schellenberg, Hitler s Chief Of Counterintelligence
This unique account of Hitler’s corrupt regime illuminates more vividly than any other the deepening atmosphere of terror and unreality in which the Nazi leadership lived as the war progressed. Schellenberg recounts with firsthand knowledge the motivations and machinations surrounding the Nazi Army’s every move in Poland, Austria, and Russia. But this remarkable inside account is perhaps most memorable for its riveting portraits of Reinhard Heydrich, Heinrich Himmler, Heinrich Mueller, Ernst Kaltenbrunner—men whom Schellenberg calls, with stunning lack of irony, ”Hitler’s willing executioners.”
