Product Description
If the idea of a conceptual emergency was wacky and original when it was taken up in the first edition of this booklet, it now appears inescapable. Brought on by the global credit crunch and the collapse or effective nationalisation of so many familiar institutions (HBOS, Lehman Brothers, Woolworths...), we face a fresh crisis of faith, as the instability of our previous perceptions of identity, morality, cultural coherence and social position is revealed. In a world where we are losing our collective bearings, we urgently need leadership inspired by fresh and insightful thinking. This booklet provides a remarkable amount of both. The authors are writing under the banner of the International Futures Forum (IFF), an innovative and forward-thinking group that has inspired many communities to respond powerfully to severe social and economic challenges. "Ten Things" records IFF's learning over seven years on how to take more effective and responsible action in a world we do not understand and cannot control. This second edition has been expanded and updated with seven inspirational case studies from around the world, generated by the work of the IFF.Insightful yet playful, compact, readable and touchingly illustrated, this is a gem of a book. It will appeal to managers and organisational and political leaders but also to environmental campaigners, social psychologists and educationalists. ... Read more

Go back to a simpler time, if only for an hour.
I bought three Radio Spirits Christmas CDs and plan to look for more. I have not listened to an audio book, or vintage radio show in quite some time.This really is something that should be done in a family setting.Even at a large gathering.Imagine, it's only an hour, people in s room, silent, watching kids faces and wondering what they are imagining etc.Around the tree or fireplace. We must do it more.

Miracle on 34th Street is one of my favorite movies, and it is refreshingly revisited with the original cast.Recorded live in front of an audience, there are no retakes.The only downside is that Natalie Wood was replaced with another young actress, who was fine, however, this package is obviously misleading.With Edmund Gwenn and Wood on the cover, a scene from the movie, you expect her to be part of it.They could have simply taken a shot of Gwenn in another scene.But otherwise, a fun experience. They left the intermission commercial breaks in, which is fun, and short enough.Rounding the cd out to about an hour.You are essentially hearing it exactly as we would have heard it over 60 years ago!

For some reason, this title is a couple dollars more than the others, but look closely to the Amazon special offers, as I got 4 various titles for the price of 3.

Great holiday radio play!!!
In the golden age of radio, after a cast finished a film they would head over to Lux Radio Theatre and perform the same show for radio.

"Miracle on 34th Street" is the same familiar story, with much of the original cast. Edmund Gwenn reprises his role as Kris Kringle.Sadly missing is little Natalie Wood. The girl who replaces her has a somewhat screechy voice, and it takes away from the overall affect of the production.

The music and sound effects recreate the atmosphere of the film. The radio version is abridged, and chimes in at an hour long instead of the hour and a half of the film.

If you are going on a long drive this Christmas to visit some friends and family, why not take "Miracle on 34th Street" along with you? ... Read more

Product Description
"You are about to read the tale of the toughest Irish lass who ever took on Hollywood and became a major leading lady....In a career that has lasted more than sixty years, I have acted, punched, swashbuckled, and shot my way through an absurdly masculine profession....As a woman, I'm proud to say that I stood toe-to-toe with the best of them and made my mark on my own terms. I'm Maureen O'Hara and this is my life story." -- From Chapter One of 'Tis Herself In language that is blunt, straightforward, and totally lacking in artifice, Maureen O'Hara, one of the greatest and most enduring stars of Hollywood's "Golden Era," for the first time tells the story of how she succeeded in the world's most competitive business. Known for her remarkable beauty and her fiery screen persona, Maureen O'Hara came to Hollywood when she was still a teenager, taken there by her mentor, the great actor Charles Laughton. Almost immediately she clashed with the men who ran the movie business -- the moguls who treated actors like chattel, the directors who viewed every actress as a potential bedmate. Determined to hold her own and to remain true to herself, she fought for roles that she wanted and resisted the advances of some of Hollywood's most powerful and attractive men. It was in the great director John Ford that she first found someone willing to give her a chance to prove herself as an important actress. Beginning with the Academy Award-winning How Green Was My Valley, she went on to make five films with Ford and through him first met the great John Wayne, with whom she also made five films. ...
