It was 1980. Once adored by the public, disco had run its course and was gasping its final breath. The New Wave of British Heavy Metal was beginning to gain momentum abroad. America was quick to follow with its own emerging metal scene and it was clear that musically, something very big was on the horizon. Carl Canedy stood firmly at the forefront of this blossoming movement. Carl gave up his role as the first drummer of Manowar to establish, with the legendary David "Rock" Feinstein, the influential upstate New York hard rock power-trio, The Rods. Carl quickly gained notoriety for his prowess as a drummer, songwriter and producer. The Rods were America's robust answer to the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, sharing the stage with Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Ritchie Blackmore, Ozzy, and even a gang of fresh-faced kids that went by the name of Metallica. Through The Rods and his production efforts, Carl helped to usher in a new type of music which took the world by storm and defined a decade. He produced some of the earliest (and now considered iconic) thrash metal albums such as Anthrax's Fistful of Metal, Spreading the Disease and Armed and Dangerous, Exciter's Violence and Force and the debut classic from Overkill, Feel the Fire. With his involvement, upstate NY quickly became a recording mecca for emerging heavy metal bands. And to this very day, after more than 55 years as a dedicated musician, Carl continues to inspire drummers from all over the world. Tales of A Wild Dog is Carl's story - a tale of heartache, perseverance, family... and consequently, a saga detailing the rise of heavy metal.

'Philosopher Simon Critchley's painstaking attempt to explore transcendent experience provides a fascinating overview of Christianity's great outliers' 'Book of the Day', Guardian'A playful, profound new study of mysticism ... generous and animated' Brian DillonMysticism is about existential ecstasy - an experience of heightening one's senses and self into a sheer feeling of aliveness.

Eliot and others. Through a discussion of the lives of famous mystics, like Julian of Norwich and Jesus Christ, Critchley reveals how embracing the spectrum of mystical experience can refresh our thinking and help us live deeper and freer lives.Philosophical and playful, analytical and inventive, On Mysticism is a definitive account of humanity's quest to understand the divine, and a call to thinkers everywhere to broaden our minds to life larger than our selves.

Have you ever been in an accident and felt that time slowed down? Have you felt time stretch radically, or even apparently disappear, in a state of deep meditation? Psychologist Dr Steve Taylor calls these Time Expansion Experiences, and in this book he shares his years of research into this life-changing phenomenon. Most of us will have experienced a TEE, an experience of time slowing down in an extreme situation, and yet it is a phenomenon that has never been fully explored or explained - until now. Psychologist Dr. Steve Taylor has spent several years analysing "time expansion experiences" (or TEEs), after collecting hundreds of reports. He has also found many examples of "time cessation experiences" (or TCEs), in which time appears to disappear altogether. In this book he shares the fascinating psychology and shared features behind all of these case studies, coming to an incredible conclusion: TEEs are a real altered state of consciousness, rather than a trick of recollection. Not only this, but TEEs and TCEs are almost always positive, with a sense of calm well-being, clarity and heightened awareness. In this ground-breaking book, discover profound implications: What do unusual states of consciousness such as mystical experiences, psychedelic experiences, and near-death experiences tell us about time and consciousness?What can the countless reports of "life review" - when people view a whole lifetime of events and experiences within a few seconds - tell about the past, present and the future?What does modern physics have to say about the idea that linear time is illusory?If our perception of time is an illusion, is it possible to speed up and slow down time at will, including inducing TEEs?

What would happen if we were to awaken one day and suddenly realize that the world we live in appeared eerily alien, as if we'd been teleported to some other distant world? That frightening prospect is now. Our planetary hydrosphere, which animates all of life on Earth, is rebelling in the wake of a global warming climate, spurring biblical spring floods, devastating summer droughts, heatwaves, and wildfires and powerful autumn hurricanes and typhoons, wreaking havoc on ecosystems and society. For too long we have misjudged the very nature of our existence and to what we owe our lifeline. We have come to believe that we live on a land planet when the reality is that we live on a water planet, and now the Earth's hydrosphere is rewilding in the throes of a changing climate, taking our species and our fellow creatures into a mass extinction event as it searches for a new equilibrium. Jeremy Rifkin calls on us to rethink our place in the universe and realize that we live on Planet Aqua. He takes us on a new journey into the future where we will need to reassess every aspect of the way we live - how we engage nature, govern society, conceptualize economic life, educate our children, and even orient ourselves in time and space. The next stage in the human journey is to rebrand our home Planet Aqua and learn how to readapt to the waters of life. Underpinned by robust research, this major new work by one of the world's leading public intellectuals aims to redefine the very core of our existence on Planet Aqua.

An advanced guide to leadership development and intentional evolution--your own or others--using Adult Education Theory. The first edition of Changing on the Job became a popular guide for executive coaches and leadership trainers, because it simplified a set of complex tools and ideas to help executive coaches develop leaders, based on "Adult Development Theory." Leaders (like all adults) grow through four predictable stages of maturity and wisdom. Crucially, Jennifer Garvey Berger argues that if we do not deliberately help leaders advance to the two higher stages, we will be unable to solve the global problems which are plaguing us, like climate change, war, or the next global crisis. The leaders we need to solve our complex, unprecedented problems can only be developed in the workplace, and they need the advanced perspective and personal evolution described this book. The second edition includes three new chapters written directly for leaders, and many updates. It is the only book in the influential field of Adult Development Theory that's easy to read and offers clear descriptions of what adult/leader growth looks like, as well as a series of tools and ideas to help leaders grow.
