John Thornton is facing the collapse of everything he has worked for all of his life. Through his banker, he hears about a potential business opportunity that could save the mill. He decides to investigate, even if it means traveling from home when he can least afford it. Margaret Hale, now living in London, learns that her godfather Mr Bell is visiting her brother Frederick in Cadiz. Bell is dying, and asking to see her before it is too late. She is determined to sail, regardless of the risk. An accident on the docks leaves Margaret injured, and throws both together on the same ship. Thornton, resolved to protect Margaret's honour despite their painful history, claims to be her brother to keep her safe. Unfortunately, pretending to be Margaret's brother proves more difficult- and more dangerous- than he might have expected.

This book is the product of two years of extensive learning that I affectionately call "My Library Card MBA." I read dozens of books and articles about business, goal-setting, entrepreneurship, personal growth, psychology, management, and coaching. Several common themes emerged - heck, they nearly slapped me across the face and demanded to be heard! In every book and in every case study, regardless of the fields in which the subjects applied themselves, success was the result of a good plan and consistent effort. This book distills salient lessons from dozens of well known self-help and business thought-leaders. After completing the six steps and accompanying exercises in this book, you will be well on your way to creating, recognizing, and grasping more opportunities.

Doesn't it seem like some people have all the luck? Good things constantly come their way, seemingly without any effort on their part. The rest of us just shake our heads in disbelief and envy, chalking up their good fortune to simply being lucky. Don't you believe it. There is no such thing as luck. Instead, there is something more powerful, more prevalent, and more universal that can bring good things into the lives of not just a lucky few but everyone: Opportunity. Here's the catch, though it's not always obvious when opportunity is knocking at your door. But you can learn how to be ready for opportunity when it does come your way and be prepared to capitalize on it by following the principles of The Science of Opportunity. The Science of Opportunity gives you a simple blueprint for attracting, identifying, and acting on opportunities of all kinds in your life. Anyone can use these principles, regardless of age, gender, race, financial situation, political bent,

The Physics is a foundational work of western philosophy, and the crucial one for understanding Aristotle's views on matter, form, essence, causation, movement, space, and time. This richly annotated, scrupulously accurate, and consistent translation makes it available to a contemporary English reader as no other does—in part because it fits together seamlessly with other closely associated works in the New Hackett Aristotle series, such as the Metaphysics, De Anima, and forthcoming De Caelo and On Coming to Be and Passing Away. Eventually the series will include all of Aristotle's works. Sequentially numbered endnotes provide the information most needed at each juncture, while a detailed Index of Terms indicates places where focused discussion of key notions occurs. An illuminating general Introduction describes the book that lies ahead, explaining what sort of work it is and what sorts of evidence it relies on.
