David Young Livres

À Berlin au temps du Mur, la méfiance est la règle et la confiance, un luxe. Vous ne saurez jamais quelle question peut vous trahir. Berlin-Est, 1975. Sa loyauté envers le régime a toujours été totale. Dépêchée près du Mur pour examiner le corps d’une adolescente abattue par balle, le lieutenant Karin Müller ne pense qu’à remplir son devoir. Au premier abord, tout ressemble à un fait tristement ordinaire : la jeune victime a tenté de fuir vers l’Ouest, dans l’espoir de trouver un avenir meilleur de l’autre côté du Mur. Sauf que les empreintes dans la neige racontent une tout autre histoire. A l’image de ces traces de pneus, appartenant à une voiture en provenance de la plus haute direction du pays. Pourquoi la victime essayait-elle de rejoindre à tout prix la partie est du pays ? Et que se passe-t-il vraiment dans cet institut de redressement pour jeunes d’où elle venait de sortir ? Malgré les ordres de ses supérieurs qui cherchent à étouffer l’affaire, la policière poursuit ses recherches. Mais parfois, rien n’est plus dangereux que de poser des questions.

Dans les rues sans nom, les disparitions ne laissent pas de traces. Été 1975, RDA. Deux bébés ont disparu à Halle-Neustadt, cité idéale de la République, réputée connaître un taux zéro en matière de crime. Le lieutenant Karin Müler est choisie pour tenter d'élucider ce mystère. Mais alors qu'elle met tout en oeuvre pour retrouver les jumeaux, elle se heurte à des murs invisibles, aussi épais que deux des complexes d'habitation. Car dans cette ville nouvelle où les allées se perdent dans le vide et où les rues ne portent pas de nom, seule la productivité compte. La population, sous l'emprise de la propagande, est à maintenir à tout prix dans l'ignorance. Or, c'est justement hors des périmètres autorisés que semblent se trouver les véritables indices. Des hauts fonctionnaires du complexe VIII aux employés de la crèche locale, tout le monde à l'air d'avoir quelque chose à cacher. Lorsque Karin parvient enfin à avancer dans ses recherches, une révélation concernant sa propre histoire vient rebattre les cartes de son enquête...

In this beautifully written and stunningly illustrated book, David Young focuses on the increasingly endangered resource of freshwater, and what so-called developed societies can learn from the indigenous voices of the Pacific. Combining nineteenth century and indigenous sources with a selection of modern studies and his own personal encounters, Young keeps a human face on the key issue of water. He confirms that the gift of indigenous people to their colonisers is that they offer systematic and different concepts of being in, and experiencing, nature.

In King Jesus and the Beauty of Obedience-Based Discipleship, David Young presents a bold call for obedience-based discipleship and argues that it alone is the proper response to the kingship of Jesus

David Young invites his readers on a journey of adventure and discovery; a journey for the mind, and an adventure in the realm of ideas. By retracing the steps of men who developed the theory of biological evolution, we see how scientists came to recognize the nature and importance of natural selection. The journey begins in the seventeenth century, when even the most accomplished naturalists knew next to nothing of biology as we understand it today. Steadily increasing knowledge and the quickening pace of research began to uncover much new evidence, and in the middle of the century Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace incorporated this evidence in a comprehensive theory of evolution. In the twentieth century biology has become steadily more specialized, so the book picks out some of the main developments that bring us to studies of evolution being carried out today.

The book presents a fresh translation of Du Fu's poetry, showcasing the life and struggles of this celebrated Chinese poet from 712-770. David Young arranges the verses into thematic chapters, each introduced with contextual insights that illuminate the historical and personal circumstances surrounding Du Fu's work. This approach reveals the essence of an extraordinary artist navigating a tumultuous era, highlighting both his humility and the enduring relevance of his poetry.

Tired of Falling for Mirages? These days, reasons for irritability pop up as regularly as Facebook advertisements. Of all the reasons to be irritable, this one has to be the worst: We often want things that turn out not to exist. People can spend thier lives wholeheartedly pursuing things that are unreal. These mirages burst like soap bubbles, and we are left disappointed and frustrated. The purpose of this book is to expose five things people want from God that don't exist -so that we can retrain our desires to focus on what does exist. When we pursue what does exist, we will find our souls satisfied. DANIEL J. MCCOY Daniel is happily married to Susanna, and they have 3 daughters and 2 sons.

A gorgeous selection of the humane and moving poetry of David Young, a celebrated poet of the midwestern landscape and the people who live in it, with an expanded section featuring sixteen new poems exclusive to the paperback edition. A newly expanded career-spanning volume from one of our most valuable living American poets, offering poems that display an exquisite ear tuned to the natural world, to love and friendship, and to the continually renewable possibilities of language, and new poems that reflect a continued artistic interest in these subjects. Young’s settings are at once local and universal—an adolescence in Omaha, late summer on Lake Erie, a sleepless night in the backyard during a meteor shower. He moves with dazzling ease between culture and nature, between the literary and the philosophical, microcosm and macrocosm. Here are poems on Osip Mandelstam and Chairman Mao, the meaning of boxcars on the track, the beautiful names of the months, and a fox at the field’s edge, charged in each case by Young’s fierce intelligence and candor in the face of grief and loss. “We float through space. Days pass,” Young writes in “The Portable Earth-Lamp.” “Sometimes we know we are part of a crystal / where light is sorted and stored.” His metaphysical reach, balancing remarkable humility with penetrating vision, is one of the great gifts of this exemplary career in poetry.

The authors chose the term 'global' for the book's title to convey the idea that the book is truly global in its coverage.  What distinguishes this book from others in financial accounting and corporate financial reporting is the seamless way it approaches the world's two dominant accounting regimes:  US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).  The tendency in the field is to present the material from a US GAAP perspective, with some discussion, usually at the end of the chapter, on financial reporting practices under IFRS and how they might differ from those of GAAP on the chapter topic.  Or, when the book is written from an IFRS perspective, US GAAP is ignored entirely.  The problem with this latter approach is that at least 40% of the world's total stock market capitalization is accounted for by companies reporting under US GAAP.  Meanwhile, more than half is accounted for by IFRS.  Investors in the global capital markets cannot neglect either of these two approaches.  The world will have one dominant accounting regime some day, but for the foreseeable future, we are left with two distinctive, though increasingly overlapping, sets of standards.  The challenge is to integrate these approaches in such a way that critical differences are addressed, but in a way that is accessible to the reader.
