David Edey wants to save you a lot of trouble! In this self-help book he clearly, concisely, and repeatedly explains why it is important that every individual appoint an executor of their estate; what it means to be an executor of an estate; and how having a knowledgeable and responsible executor can help ensure a family’s wealth, welfare, health, and future happiness. The book is filled with advice, tips, and many real-life examples demonstrating what can go wrong (and what can go right), depending on whether or not families plan accordingly in advance, communicate clearly with one another, and are willing to put petty and selfish differences aside. No one likes talking about death and inheritances before they absolutely have to, but as Edey learned from personal experience, having these conversations earlier, rather than later, will save a lot of time and money, alleviate a ton of stress and ill feeling, and ensure that the deceased’s wishes are properly and efficiently carried out. |

Theme Is What Your Story Is Really About Theme—the mysterious cousin of plot and character. Too often viewed as abstract rather than actionable, theme is frequently misunderstood and left to chance. Some writers even insist theme should not be purposefully implemented. This is unfortunate, because in many ways theme is story. Theme is the heart, the meaning, the point. Nothing that important should be overlooked. Powerful themes are never incidental. They emerge from the conjunction of strong plots and resonant character arcs. This means you can learn to plan and implement theme. In doing so, you will deepen your ability to write not only stories that entertain, but also stories that stay with readers long after the end. Writing Your Story's Theme will teach you: • How to create theme from plot and character. • Why every supporting character and subplot should enhance the theme. • How to prevent theme from seeming preachy or "on the nose." • What to consider in identifying the best theme for any given story. • And much more! Conscious mastery of theme will elevate every story you write and allow you to craft fiction of depth and meaning. Take Control of Your Story Via a Powerful Implementation of Theme |

Pourquoi l’Ukraine est-elle est en train de perdre la guerre contre la Russie?? Comment les deux camps pensent-ils et mènent-ils leurs opérations?? Quelles ont été les erreurs de part et d’autre?? Comment l’Occident a-t-il contribué à la défaite ukrainienne?? Pour répondre à ces questions et à bien d’autres, Jacques Baud s’appuie sur des informations officielles ainsi que sur des documents américains, occidentaux et russes. Il explique la manière dont la Russie comprend et conduit la guerre. Il montre combien l’incapacité des Occidentaux à saisir cette réalité et leur détermination à affaiblir la Russie s’est retournée contre l’Ukraine. Après les best-sellers Poutine?: maître du jeu?? , Opération Z et Ukraine entre guerre et paix , dont le travail d’analyse a été salué dans le monde entier et qui ont été traduits dans plusieurs pays, l’auteur revient sur la guerre en Ukraine. Il expose la manière dont la Russie l’a menée et révèle comment l’image qu’en ont donnée les Occidentaux a conduit l’Ukraine à l’échec. Jacques Baud a été membre du renseignement stratégique suisse, spécialiste des pays de l’Est et ancien chef de la doctrine des opérations de maintien de la paix des Nations unies. Durant la guerre froide, il a travaillé sur l’art militaire soviétique et la guerre en Afghanistan. Au sein de l’OTAN, il a participé à des programmes en Ukraine, notamment après la révolution de Maïdan de 2014. En plus de ses ouvrages majeurs sur le conflit en Ukraine, il est l’auteur de plusieurs livres sur le renseignement, la guerre et le terrorisme, dont Gouverner par les fake news , Vaincre le terrorisme djihadiste et L’Affaire Navalny , tous parus aux éditions Max Milo. |
