Have ever you heard of the Land of Beyond, That dreams at the gates of the day? Alluring it lies at the skirts of the skies, And ever so far away; Alluring it calls: O ye the yoke galls, And ye of the trail overfond, With saddle and pack, by paddle and track, Let's go to the Land of Beyond!Download Description

The Bard Of The Yukon At His Finest!
"Songs Of A Sourdough" is Robert Service at his best!.This is nature poetry at its finest.Here the Bard Of The Yukon use picture words that place the reader right in the Yukon of old.As you read you can see the stranger stagger in to the Malamute saloon and feel the fifty below gush of air until he closes the door behind him.You will hear him play the piano and see the ghastly look of the Lady that's known as Lou.You too will jump for the floor when the shooting of Dangerous Dan McGrew starts.You too will hear the Call of The Yukon and understand its Law while you come to appreciate The Younger Son.

I bought my first copy of"Songs Of A Sourdough" during my Canadian honeymoon in 1980.From experience I can give you one bit of advice.Do not, I repeat, do not ever pick up this book unless you want to be hooked on Robert Service and his songs forever. ... Read more

We started out for God Knows Where, we started out a-roarin'; We 'ollered: "'Ere We Are Again", and 'struth! but we was dry. The dust was gummin' up our ears, and 'ow the sweat was pourin'; The road was long, the sun was like a brazier in the sky. We wondered where the 'Uns was -- we wasn't long a-wonderin'. ... Read more

From the supplier: There are a number of measures that employees can adopt to survive and thrive during corporate consolidation. Mergers, acquisitions and other forms of corporate change are often prompted by the need to downsize, restructure or reengineer business processes, by the changes in the business environment, or by the globalization of business. In 1996, corporate consolidations all over the world totalled $1.14 trillion. The consolidation trend is expected to continue into the 21st century. To ensure their survival during periods of turbulence created by organizational changes, employees should examine the reasons for the consolidation, evaluate the cultures of the parties involved and forecast the culture of the merged organization, and assess the skills and abilities that they can offer to the new entity. If such an analysis suggests that they will not fit into the new organization, the best survival tactic may be to join another company.
