    af Philip Zimbardo & John Boyd

    Every significant choice, every important decision we make, is determined by our perception of time. This is the most influential force in our lives, yet we are virtually unaware of it. In this fascinating book, the award-winning past president of the American Psychological Association, Philip Zimbardo, and his co-author, John Boyd, show how:- the way you perceive time is as unique as your fingerprints- these individual time perspectives shape your life, and the world around you- you can change the way you perceive time, so you get the most out of every minute- if you don't, the power of time in the modern world is so immense that it will take its toll on youThe Time Paradox is a highly readable, stimulating look at a subject that absorbs us all.

    TWISTED FATE THRILLER DRAWS ON AUTHOR'S INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE Major Robert Davis has almost captured Bin Laden. He's rescued the U.S. President's son from kidnappers and met with the Castro brothers to prevent a war between the U.S. and Cuba. Now, with his Colombian-born mother recovering from a heart attack, all he wants is to resign from military intelligence and help her with the family's international manufacturing company. And then the President calls. In John Boyd's debut thriller, TWISTED FATE, Davis-the only person to have found Bin Laden-must travel to Colombia on a black mission to stop a planned terrorist attack on the U.S. by the revolutionary FARC and its secret leader, Gilberto Rodriquez. Supported by Bin Laden's organization, Rodriquez has the attack plan in motion, but he has not counted on Robert Davis. With the help of his brother and team, including a nerdy genius with a sophisticated tracking device, Robert races against time, with his life-and the life of the woman he loves-at stake. "Rich with details and author integrity. This book pulls you into a world of intrigue, secrets and danger. Robert Davis is the perfect blend of sex appeal and courage." --Thriller novelist Bonnie Hearn Hill John Boyd was an international construction executive and traveled the world living in Asia and South America. This is the first of the Robert Davis series.

  • - The Original Caribbean Pirates & Founding Fathers of American Democracy
    af John Boyd
    228,95 kr.

    This story of Carib resistance to the European conquest of the Caribbean starts in 1493 at the battle of Salt River, St. Croix, United States Virgin Islands. By all historical accounts, the Caribs tried to avoid this battle and when attacked, lost to a superior force of well armed Conquistadors. For the next 55 years, the Caribs of St. Croix sought revenge and engaged in pirate raids and guerrilla warfare against the Spanish. They are credited with delaying the large scale settlement of Puerto Rico for almost 100 years and the Spanish never occupied St. Croix except for three months in 1650. Their war parties operated with universal male suffrage and they elected war leaders for their stealth attacks. Around 1529, the Caribs started cooperating with English, Dutch and French pirates, privateers, filibusters, freebooters and buccaneers in their attacks against the common Spanish enemy. They taught the European how to smoke meats, build houses, live off the land and their way of life. These exchanges were mutually beneficial as before 1600, the Caribs adapted to iron tools for boat building and using the power of sail on their war canoes. The European pirates learned about stealth nighttime raids, avoiding direct confrontation with the enemy, terrorizing their opponents during battles, fraternal brotherhood and the principles of democracy and universal male suffrage. Contrary to popular belief, universal male suffrage started in a few Amerindian Cultures before Columbus, was passed to the pirates and did not get carried to Europe and the United Stated until the nineteenth Century. Most Europeans who became pirates had never voted in their life because they were ineligible due to poverty and would not have understood the concept without their contact with the Caribs. Because of their warrior skills and cooperation with the Europeans (other than the Spanish), the egalitarian tribes of Central America and the Caribbean were able to retain some degree of sovereignty until moder times. These independent groups include the Island Caribs of Dominica, the Garfuna (Black Caribs) of Roatán, the Kuna (mainland Caribs) of Panama and the Miskito of Nicaragua.
