We succeed in business and in life when we influence how others think, feel, and act: getting them to accept our point of view, follow our lead, join our cause, feel our excitement, or buy our products and services. The act of influencing is such a part of our daily lives that we often don't even realize when we (or others) are doing it. But to succeed, we need to know how influence works...and how to use it. Influencing effectively requires adaptability, perceptiveness, and insight into other people and cultures. Based on 20 years of research, Elements of Influence shows readers how to: * Understand why people allow themselves to be influenced--and why they resist * Choose the right approach for each situation * Be influential when they have no formal authority * Succeed in every kind of organization--even in other countries Filled with exercises and practical applications, this book shows how anyone can increase his or her influence to achieve greater success.

As the descendant of two prominent New England witching families, Khlorie Lethestone's life was destined to fit into the neat, color-coded boxes established by the American Continental Coven (ACC). When it is discovered that Khlorie has "extra elemental powers" beyond that of a typical witch, she is sent to Spindlewick College, a secret institution designed to help witches develop non-conforming gifts into tools for the greater good of witching society. Once there, she meets the attractive, but distant Perry Prentice, who is assigned to help her understand her gifts. But becoming one of the most powerful witches in the world means that you are watched closely, and Khlorie learns that there are secrets she must keep hidden to survive.

"The Four Elements are the pillars that uphold the manifest world and anchor spirit to matter. They are associated with a wide range of spiritual entities from small elementals to divine beings. The Elements provide a system of understanding that undergirds most of the magic of the West and Paganism. This book explores each of the Elements in depth, then shows how they interact and change as they rise on the planes. Practical applications for working with the Elements are also woven throughout the book"--

Harness the ancient Five Elements of Chinese Medicine to unlock your unique Adaptation Type, transforming stress into resilience and mastering cortisol management for holistic health. Power of the Five Elements is your evidence-based, comprehensive guide to better health and wellness. Dr. Charles Moss melds three decades of acupuncture expertise with the Five Elements of Chinese Medicine and delivers actionable insights, including the impact of cortisol—a key stress hormone linked to various health issues like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. What You'll Discover: Cortisol & Adaptation Science: Understand how cortisol affects your stress levels—and how discovering your unique Adaptation Type is a game-changer for managing cortisol naturally. Emotional Transformation: Dive deep into the Five Adaptation Types—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—and transform emotions like anger, worry, and fear into patience, empathy, and trust. Holistic Strategies: Use the included questionnaires to pinpoint your specific Adaptation Type. Benefit from individualized lifestyle modifications, meditations, and exercises for a more resilient and stress-free life. Ancient Wisdom & Modern Science: Immerse yourself in a synergistic blend of time-tested Taoist teachings and contemporary mind-body research. Real-life Case Studies: Be inspired by compelling transformations made possible by optimizing one's Adaptation Type. The book is organized into two parts. It opens with essential theories of adaptation and health. Part II offers in-depth explorations of each Adaptation Type, each offering transformative emotional shifts and evidence-based wellness strategies to help you achieve whole-body health the natural way. Whether you're passionate about wellness, a student of Chinese medicine, or seeking scientifically supported stress management, you’ll discover why readers have hailed Power of the Five Elements as an "indispensable," "enlightening," and "actionable" resource.

This “excellent” popular science book explores just what we—and the things around us—are made of (Aftenposten, Norway). Some elements get all the attention: glittering gold, radioactive uranium—materials we call “precious” because they are so rare. But what could be more precious than the building blocks of life—from the oxygen in our air to the carbon in all living things? In The Elements We Live By, physicist and award-winning author Anja Røyne reminds us that we’d be lost without the quiet heroes of the periodic table. Our bodies need phosphorous to hold our DNA together, potassium to power our optic nerves, and many more elements—in just the right amounts—to function. Other fundamental elements keep our technology (and society) running: Our phones contain arsenic, boron, and gallium to control signals and store information; indium and tin for the touch screen; and lithium for the battery. Everything is made of elements—every galaxy, star, and planet—from the iron in Earth’s core to the silicon in its sand. But that doesn’t mean the elements we rely on will never run out; for example, about half the lithium we need is extracted from rocks in Australia, and the other half is from saltwater in Argentina and Chile. As Røyne travels the world to find where these elements exist (some in ever-shrinking amounts), she shows how vitally urgent it is for us to protect them—the elements of our very existence. “Not just a discussion of basic chemistry, this is a volume that looks at the human impact on the planet and what we can learn from nature...Useful for science or sociology courses that address the various impacts of natural resource development or for popular science readers.” —School Library Journal

Building on the tradition of its classic first edition, the long-awaited second edition of Elements of Power Electronics provides comprehensive coverage of the subject at a level suitable for undergraduate engineering students, students in advanced degree programs, and novices in the field. It establishes a fundamental engineering basis for power electronics analysis, design, and implementation, offering broad and in-depth coverage of basic material.Streamlined throughout to reflect new innovations in technology, the second edition also features updates on renewable and alternative energy.Elements of Power Electronics features a unifying framework that includes the physical implications of circuit laws, switching circuit analysis, and the basis for converter operation and control. It discusses dc-dc, ac-dc, dc-ac, and ac-ac conversion tasks and principles of resonant converters and discontinuous converters. The text also addresses magnetic device design, thermal management and drivers for power semiconductors, control system aspects of converters, and both small-signaland geometric controls. Models for real devices and components-including capacitors, inductors, wire connections, and power semiconductors-are developed in depth, while newly expanded examples show students how to use tools like Mathcad, Matlab, and Mathematica to aid in the analysis and design of conversion circuits.Features:*More than 160 examples and 350 chapter problems support the presented concepts*An extensive Companion Website includes additional problems, laboratory materials, selected solutions for students, computer-based examples, and analysis tools for Mathcad, Matlab, and Mathematica
