A place so deadly, no one has entered there and lived to tell about, for more than a thousand years. Zan and Lexa's only hope of making it out of the mountains alive is to trust a new pair of friends. But nothing in the Forbidden Mountains is what it seems. What are a lone pair of Pantherans doing living within these isolated and deadly mountains? Are they what they appear to be, or something else entirely? Can they be trusted?The fate of an entire planet rests squarely on the backs of these teenagers, one human and one a giant panther. Together they are possibly the most powerful pair ever to exist on Chandara, but will it be enough?

Growth is contagious and anyone in a company can make simple choices that will accelerate growth in any business. Mastering the powers of clarity, energy, and impact can propel any organization to new heights. If you want to initiate a culture of contagious growth in your company, read this book. Conventional wisdom has long defined "Chiefs" as rulers of people--those at the top of the organization chart who hold the most power. We've always viewed Chiefs as "special," selectively chosen to lead others. The perception in business and society is that only those at the top have the power to be Chief. Conventional wisdom got it wrong. And that needs to change. Now. The newly released Second Edition of Be Chief: It's a Choice, Not a Title obliterates the idea that only Chiefs with titles hold real power--a notion that's been holding us back from achieving our true potential. It's time to realize our true power. Be Chief shows us how. Be Chief isn't just for managers and executives--it's for anyone in any organization. Author Rick Miller has transformed organizations from startups to multinationals--helping front-line workers, managers, and executives at all levels achieve personal and professional growth and establish meaningful connections between what they do and who they are. The ability to tap the collective power of Chiefs at all levels holds the key to sustainable growth that today's companies demand and so many of us crave. According to survey after survey, a lack of engagement has enveloped today's workplace--at least seven in 10 workers are not giving 100% on the job. You may be one of them. It's time for a new way to think about where real power comes from, and to consider new tools to help leaders build organizations full of empowered Chiefs. Be Chief delivers the tips, tools, and case studies to do just that. Be Chief reveals the choices essential to achieving individual and organizational transformation and growth. Finally, 100% of author proceeds are donated to Easterseals, in support of their programs for veterans.

Really, What's Two Billion Years Among Friends?By: Rick Miller PhDRick Miller PhD observes and explains the geologic movements of continents and ocean basins over the past 180 million years, specifically the region around St. George, Utah. The state of Utah includes numerous state and national parks and monuments. Rick Miller's knowledge provides a review of geologic history of two billion years that is exposed in and around St. George, focusing on the Grand Canyon, Zion Canyon, and Bryce Canyon.About the AuthorRick Miller received a PhD from UCLA way back in 1975. His field of study involves microfossils called conodonts that are found in rocks exposed in the desert mountains of southeastern California and southern Nevada. His teaching and research career began even earlier in 1970 when he was offered a part time position at what was then San Fernando Valley State College. From there, he progressed to San Diego State University and then moved to St. George, Utah in 2001. Miller has continued to teach for various community education programs at Utah Tech University and explored the amazing geology exposed in that region. This community teaching and exploration of the region were the two main factors behind writing this book. Oh, and he's had that Chevy truck for over 50 years!

This book discusses alternative explanations for Earth's history that will motivate you to learn more information.About the Author:Dr. Rick Miller began his career in geology by taking a summer course in Physical Geology at UCLA, however, this was by accident.
