Welcome to the wonderful world of consulting. It's a world I know well, having lived it for more than 30 years. What does a consultant do? Well I'm glad you asked. Consultants are brought into a project for their expertise, to speed the project along, and to share their knowledge with the client. Consultants are sought more for their wisdom than for their advice. I try to help the client come to wise decisions rather than telling them what they should do - nobody likes to be told what they should do.

Perhaps the first word we think of when we hear the word Rose is the word Love. Roses are considered to be an intimate gift by some. Most of us are familiar with Roses. Most have seen a Rose, held it, and deeply inhaled its fragrance- though the fragrance causes headaches for some. But just how familiar are we with the Rose? How intimate are we with it? In this book, I'll explore the various parts of the Rose in more detail without getting technical. Many things in this book you'll already be familiar with. I hope you enjoy the memories. If you're looking to give an intimate gift like a Rose, perhaps it will make it a more special gift if you're more intimate with it. Every species has their own language. This is the Word of the Rose. I hope you read it with a Rosy disposition.

I've been following advances in electric cars for nearly 50 years and advances in hybrids for 15. I started following electric cars while writing a paper in history class in seventh grade on current events. I started following hybrids when the Honda Insight was released in 1999. I also started following fuel-cell cars about that same time. The Xybrid expands on hybrid technologies, discussing new, potential, and conceptual technologies. If you're interested in cars, and especially if you're interested in hybrids and electric cars, then this book is for you, whether you understand how cars work or not.

Hi. My name is Frank. This is my story. Most of the world didn't live all the way through the cataclysmic events. Most of us who did are content to just write our stories down, place them in bottles, and toss those bottles into the stream. Like most, I'm hoping that somebody downstream will find my story. Then perhaps, all the stories will merge. All the pieces will be put together. And at last we'll finally know what really happened. This is my story of what happened the night the stars went away.

Everybody has a different notion of what heaven is like. In the heaven where Jane lives, everybody is expected to use The Will to do things. Using The Will, people in Jane’s heaven merely have to think to accomplish anything. They never have to get their hands dirty touching anything. Jane, though, wants to touch things. She wants to feel them in her hands. And because she refuses to use her Will, she falls from societal acceptance, and then she falls from heaven. But falling from heaven may be her saving grace.

Meet the children of Generation Q. At first they had to be hidden because others were hunting for them, trying to eliminate them, before their specialness infected the world. For then it would be too late to mold the world according to the ideals of those who hunted these infants. What will it take for the world to accept these children who have now become adults? They look a little different from you and me. They act somewhat differently from you and me. And they definitely think very differently from any one of us. Should we fear them?

Ducker went through life snapping his toes. I suspect you think that that sounds a bit gross and it might be a bit painful. And you’re also under that impression that that might be just a little bit too much information. Perhaps it’s something which you’d rather not know. And since Ducker really liked to snap his toes. And since snapping one’s toes is very difficult to do while wearing shoes and/or socks, Ducker had a great disdain for wearing either shoes or socks.

I am a man of peace. Yet I am well aware that we all get pushed to our limits, and sometimes beyond. Suppose, just for a moment, that there was a nation that had always lived at peace. Peace was all they knew. They were sworn to peace. What happens when the invaders come? What happens when their lives and their way of life are threatened? What happens when peace is no longer an option? This is the story of one such nation.

Morley was definitely the most famous monkey. What other monkey had so many scientific papers written about him or her? What other monkey has appeared on so many TV shows? What other monkey has received so many awards? What other monkey has received the Presidential Medal of Freedom Award? Indeed, Morley was so famous that many human children said they wanted to be like him when they grew up. But how did Morley become so famous?
