Bøger af Michael Griffith

This book is intended to be simple and to the point. There are examples for every suggestion in this book. This is not intended to be an in-depth study of every issue you will encounter while searching for a job and going through the interview process. I do not believe that the average job seeker is concerned with this. I believe the average job seeker wants to know what to do, how to do it, what not to do, and how to avoid it. This book is titled "Suggestions" for these reasons. These are simple suggestions for anyone seeking a job. My hope in writing this book is to enable you to be strategic and effective in obtaining meaningful employment.

"The Speaking Stone: Stories Cemeteries Tell is a literary love letter to the joys of wandering graveyards and the discoveries such wanderings can yield. Here, Michael Griffith roams Spring Grove (founded 1844), the nation's third-largest cemetery, following curiosity and accident wherever they lead. The result is this fascinating collection, which narrates the lives of those he encountered on the way. Griffith lingers amidst the traces left behind-these are stories of race, feminism, art, and death-uncovered through obituaries, archival documents, and family legacies. Some essays focus on well-known figures like the feminist icon and freethinker Fanny Wright, but most chronicle the lives of lesser-known figures (a spiritual medium, a temperance advocate, the designers of caskets and hearses, the inventor of the glass-door oven) or of nearly unknown ones (a young heiress who died under mysterious circumstances, the daring sign-painters known as walldogs). The Speaking Stone examines what endures and what doesn't, reflecting on the vanity and poignancy of our attempts to leave monuments that last. Archival photos grace the pages of these thirteen essays that explore a larger, deeply tangled complex of ideas about place, history, self, and art"--

Bed is where we sleep and dream, where we make love and give ourselves nightmares. The thirteen stories in Wendy Rawlings's Time for Bed traverse the complicated terrain of bedtime activity, from adulterous couplings to nightmares that come to life, in terms that can feel lurid, unsettling, or disturbingly funny.
