So many people go through life -- work, school, and marriage -- full of discouragement, never really knowing the amount of personal potential that has been restricted by others and by themselves due to negative environments around them. Dr. Lewis Losoncy, known to his many followers as The Encouragement Doctor, directs readers to practical and easy-to-use suggestions for attacking the very heart of discouragement and reveals how to turn negative situations into positive ones. The book identifies the 10 symptoms or key patterns that typify discouraged people -- factors that most of us never recognize in others or ourselves. The author teaches readers how to overcome the deflating dynamics of discouragement and how to recognize the 4 basic techniques used by others on us: domination, insensitivity, silence, and the ever-popular intimidation. This book doesn't waste time with philosophical points and jargon; here is direct, to-the-point exercises that teach how to give non-evaluative responses when confronting discouraged individuals. Learn how to create ideal, encouraging relationships (at home, work, school, on teams); learn how to encourage others to take action; find out how to spot the signs of discouragement in others and how to overcome them. No more blaming; no more preoccupation with revenge; stop avoiding situations; take charge. This book can help you accomplish all of these and more.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. To environmentalists, wilderness is a valuable resource and a sacred place; to many ranchers, wilderness means eviction and government interference. Russell, herself a westerner, here tackles the complex and controversial issues of land health and wildlife in the West. A provocative and enlightening account.-Publishers Weekly Rising larger than life against the Western horizon, the cowboy sits astride his horse right in the middle of American mythology, husbanding our ideals of freedom, independence, and valor. And grazing his cattle on the wide-open land, he leaves a dusty trail: weeds spring up, scrub brush flourishes, wildlife declines, ground compacts, soil erodes, streambeds turn into dry gullies. Treading a fine line between the idyllic myth and the harsh facts of real-life ranching, this book offers a measured look at the struggle over the future of the American West, where visions of the land sharply divide between those who want to use it, those who want to save it from abuse, and those who see a middle way. Fairly-though envisioning a revamping of the current grazing system-Sharman Apt Russell describes the present battles that pit ranchers against environmentalists, new Westerners against old, private concerns against government policies. The story she tells is dramatic, animated with the distinctive personalities and contentious episodes that have shaped current debates. It is also scrupulously attentive to the details of history, politics, and economics in the region. Grounded in a deep respect for land, this elegantly written, well-reasoned book begins the work of reevaluating our heroic myths and immediate needs in a way that will prove sustainable for all the West's inhabitants. Take the cowboy, please, and send him packing, along with all his mythological baggage--or so argues Russell. . . in this provocative and iconoclastic study. . . . Russell takes a cultural icon and, in one bold stroke, brings it full circle from myth to menace. The West needs a new image, and she's given us many to choose from.-Kirkus Reviews.…
