Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Teoxi, now an old man--the fourth son of Uaxactun. the last absolute monarch of Tikal--sits on the banks of lake Peten-Itza and recalls the story of his life. Wishing to preserve a record of the events that led to the destruction of his homeland, his still-sharp eyes sweep the distant shore as he tries to put his memories in order.Born of an elderly father, Teoxi was looked after by priests, shielded from government matters, and--unlike his three older brothers--taught to be an intellectual rather than a warrior. But, because the future had unexpected events in store for him, his intellectual upbringing turned out to be of more use to him than his lack of military training.In his early manhood, an unforeseen event not only transfixed the nation but also steadily and permanently lured Teoxi away from his young life of amusements and intellectual pursuits, thrusting him headlong into a national crisis whose solution was crucial to the very survival of his country. After mere months into this growing turmoil, Teoxi's father realized that young Teoxi was the most qualified among his brothers to someday assume the Mayan throne.Now, Teoxi had to weave his way carefully through the squalid and dangerous world of the empire's leadership, struggle wearily yet confidently through entanglements of intrigue and treachery, move delicately between ancient myths and recent science, attempt to protect his family and country against internal and external threats, prepare for war with the powerful Aztecs, confront overwhelming and destructive acts of nature, and accept the undeniable fact that this young man of too few years had truly entered a living hell. To make matters worse, during his first timid steps from the solitude of the palace to a world of intrigue and danger, he fell at first sight for a girl below his class, and then moved inexorably toward a forbidden relationship that would preclude his ascension to the throne.This is the story of the young man Teoxi, committing the breadth of his will and fortitude to the needs of his people and, throughout it all, maintaining hope that his first love would someday share his days and nights. This is also the story of the old man Teoxi, sitting on the shores of the Peten-Itza seeing the things we cannot see and recounting for those in the world today, the world he knew so well.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The hiring process for professionals has traditionally been controlled by a single manager who is unprepared to make critical judgments about candidates for open positions in the company. Traditionally, managers hire based on their own preferences, inspiring candidates to network rather than actually improve themselves. These managers have become notoriously corrupt and incompetent, hiring candidates who charm them with impressive degrees, awards, personality, and exaggerated achievements. As a result, managers continually hire people who are charming but cannot actually perform, and the entire economy is weakened. The failure to properly evaluate a candidate leads directly to dissatisfaction in the workplace, absenteeism, and even industrial espionage.This book presents an insightful new solution to the problem. Based on more than thirty years of experience, Dr. Antonio Grimaldi has invented a system by which managers can quantify the life of a job applicant to effectively identify the most qualified candidate for a position. Dr. Grimaldi's system first focuses on the quantification of credits before the candidate is examined: the review of the résumé. During the interview process, a committee of three managers ask specific, qualitative questions about a candidate's background and experience. Finally, the candidate is scored and the committee selects the best candidate.Dr. Grimaldi's system doesn't eliminate the personal opinion of the managers and the personality of the candidate from the interview experience, but limits their 'weight' in a way that is not determinant in the final decision. Managers who follow this innovative method can quantify a candidate's experience and select employees based on diligent review of their background rather than the managers' own preferences, which can be erroneous or conditioned by corruption or ineptitude.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In this, Book III of the Teoxi, Mayan Prince trilogy, Teoxi returns to his village after the death of Montezuma I and many of that Aztecan emperor' most powerful priests. As in Book II, Teoxi remains a wise and determined commander committed to restoring the dying Mayan Empire, preventing the spread of the blood-thirsty Aztecan Empire and challenging a prophecy that predicts the soon coming-end of the world he knowsTeoxi fights a continuous battle against ignorance and superstition, walks with assurance into battle after battle against the Aztec and their minions, initiates overtures to the mountain-dwelling Incas as a bulwark against the Aztec. He returns always victorious from battles and skirmishes that span the former empire from sea to sea, and learns much from his terrifying brush with the invisible tribe of Chocoes--wielder of the tiny arrows that deliver silent death to all who venture blindly into their dark and mysterious forest. His quest continues without pause even after one of his finest--the silent and discreet female warrior named Night Orchid--offers to provide any support that a busy commander needs.The family bears the burden of continuous challenges facing Teoxi as he continues the fight to save himself and his village from a death sentence issued by an enemy desperate to kill him. Teoxi will win, but, the price paid by the Mayan Nation will be huge. Teoxi sees tomorrow, when the prophesied hordes armed with fire and thunder reach his shores, and--as his body bears the weight of a people and land that created a history the world will forever respect--he knows that wisdom, not power, will enable the spirit of his people to continue forever. That night, there was a party at the stronghold. We talked and laughed about the events of the day.…
