TERRIBLE DEMIURGE
A novel about Loss, Search and the Secret of the Universe
GAVRIEL is a nomad; a perpetual traveller living sparingly among the rest of the budget tourists who crowd the railway stations and dilapidated lodges of Southeast Asia.
But Gavriel is not just that. He carries a notebook of illegible handwriting and a cryptic list of names; he follows clues that only he can decipher using intuition, reason and divine signals in a Search to reveal the very last secret of the universe.
From the jungle-nested temples of Cambodia to the grasslands of the Tibetan plateau and the islands of Japan, the Man Under Contract, as Gavriel would later be known to the parties involved in his story and to those deceased he leaves in his wake, searches for a woman named Maya and the mystery of the godlike entity who took her away.

Chief Kickboxing Officer:
Applying the Fight Mentality to Business Success
|
Chief Kickboxing Officer is not a book about fighting your way to the top of the corporate ladder. It’s about applying the visceral, tactical lessons of martial artistry to the way we think and the way we interact with people. –Jonathan Clements, author of A Brief History of the Martial Arts and The Art of War: A New Translation
Business and fighting are two sides of the same coin. Every businessperson engages everyday in small acts of negotiation and conflict; understanding what characterizes our conduct, and what are its strengths and weakness, will help us develop more effective relationships. Chief Kickboxing Officer shows how the fighting and business mind sets cross over in this process of discovery and, in particular, what lessons can be learned from a highly refined and scientific type of fighting system: the martial arts. By looking at four types of behavioral and leadership styles and map ping each of them onto a martial art, this book allows the readers to learn lessons best suited to their personality. ‧ Formal and proactive types that align with the martial art of karate. ‧ Formal and responsive types that align with the martial art of judo. ‧ Informal and proactive types that align with the martial art of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). ‧ Informal and responsive types that align with the martial art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ).
