He pauses, snarls at me and then takes a long swig of the amber liquid before continuing his pace in front of the door. Should I be worried? Has our dark prince fallen in love?” I slide down the wall opposite him and watch as he continues to pace back and forth like a caged lion protecting his prey. My brain is buzzing from the alcohol, turning my limbs numb, but I’d rather feel the cool buzz of nothingness than the molten lava of Tillie fucking Stuprum blazing through my veins. “Shut the fuck up with your thoughts, Nate.

In a sprightly and very engaging tone (the dry stuff is in the footnotes) the Heaths have produced a first-rate book for managers, who all should realize just how useful it is to have some help in getting their ideas heard in an increasingly noisy marketplace of ideas. The Heaths show how to embed your ideas in a narrative that is compelling and engaging, rather than depend solely on analytical persuasion. Don’t forget that last one among your bullet points. The Heaths maintain presenters should focus on the six things that make ideas stick – aptly summed up in the mnemonic SUCCES: simplicity, unexpectedness, concreteness, credibility, emotion, and story. This book delineates just how to package and present ideas so that they stick – they stay in your head and you actually act on them. We could have used this book back then, but no one had the nerve to state what is stated so eloquently here. Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die, written by Chip and Dan Heath, breaks down how ideas can be made more powerful and long-lasting by following a simple set of rules. A few hundred years ago I studied the history of ideas, which treated ideas as sacrosanct and objective in the extreme. This book is one of the first to deal with what one day soon will be an acknowledged academic subject: how information works in a world we recognize. Made to Stick is a useful primer for how to “pitch” an idea so that it sticks in the minds of its hearers. The brothers Heath know how important the pitch is. Does anyone still believe that there are efficient markets for ideas in organizations? Imagine a virtual meritocracy where ideas rise and fall purely on their own merits, regardless of how they are presented and who is pitching the idea. Natasha, a young ballerina is his polar opposite and his obsession. David is very much the anti-hero, devoid of morals and empathy and initially there was little if anything to make me warm to him. This is a dark and emotionally complex read from start to finish. It contains themes of violence and sexual content that some readers may find offensive. The Assassin’s Wife is a standalone dark captive romance novel. Trapped with a man obsessed with revenge, Natasha must weather the storm and hope that he’ll remember their once fierce love before he does something they’ll both regret. He’ll find his wayward wife, and when he does, he’ll show her the monster she thought to escape. He should’ve seen her following him, should have known that curiosity would get the better of her. Now she’s on the run, fleeing the one person she thought she’d love forever. Then she witnessed something she shouldn’t have. With a career as a prima ballerina and married to the man of her dreams, Natasha’s life was a fairytale. A standalone dark captive romance novel by USA Today Bestselling Author Nikita Slater. Part thriller, as when Moynihan details his efforts to reach Vigano and makes his way to their meeting, and part personal memoir as both men reflect on their lives, families, and the state of the Church in the world, Finding Vigano has something for everyone. In these pages, longtime Vatican journalist Robert Moynihan, publisher of Inside the Vatican magazine, brings to bear his vast experience in the corridors of power in Rome as well as his longstanding friendship with Vigano to produce a book that both provides an incisive look at the content of the Testimony itself, but also, through interviews conducted in-person with Vigano at undisclosed locations, a personal look at the man whose conscience compelled him to speak out about the “filth” in which the Church he loves and to which he has given his life, has been mired for years. In it, he called out the corruption of the Church, especially with regards to its handling of the sexual abuse crisis-addressing most specifically the case of disgraced Cardinal Theodore McCarrick-and stunningly called for the resignation of Pope Francis. Amazon Synopsis: In 2018, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano released an 11-page testimony that rocked the world. The English version was republished in 1940 in a more inexpensive edition. Very little was changed in the transition from the magazine articles to the book. An English version followed almost immediately in each case. The book version of the original articles, written in Gandhi’s native Gujarati, was published in two volumes, the first in 1927 and the second in 1929. One of Gandhi’s close colleagues, Mahadev Desai, translated most of Gandhi’s autobiographical reflections shortly after they were written into English with ongoing input from Gandhi. The story Gandhi told took the reader to 1921, the time when the work of applying the Gandhian program of nonviolent social change to the effort to gain Indian independence was gathering steam. At the age of fifty-eight, he undertook a long process of writing reflections on his life that he published weekly in the Indian Gandhian magazine, Navajivan, with English translations soon following and published in the companion English-language magazine, Young India.He completed that work in February 1929.Īlmost immediately, the 166 installments were gathered and published as a book-though they were not initially written nor experienced by readers as a single book but rather as a long series of vignettes on Gandhi’s life. By 1925, Mohandas Gandhi was well known around the world as the leader of the movement within India to end the colonial occupation of that nation by the British. Kat’s step-mother has a solution - marry Elissa off to Sir Neville Collingwood, one of the wealthiest men in England.

Arresting jacket art introduces 10 little caterpillars munching on a verdant, heart-shaped leaf against a white background. Martin’s posthumous release rests in illustrator Ehlert’s capable hands, resulting in a picture book that delivers on his reputation as a master of engaging, rhythmic, rhyming text as it presents some of Ehlert’s best work to date. “Move over very hungry caterpillar-10 little caterpillars have arrived. Many images, such as monarchs and roses, will be familiar to kids, while others, such as cabbage looper moths and gaillardias, will likely expand their knowledge.a final spread, featuring a countdown of each caterpillar and the butterfly it becomes, along with a few facts, creates a pleasing end to this beautiful title, which will be a natural hit with young children." On each spread, a different caterpillar moves through a brilliantly hued garden scene filled with flora and fauna, which are identified in small print. Here, Ehlert lends her signature watercolor-collage artwork to the late Martin’s text, which was originally published in 1967. "From the accomplished creators of the classic Chicka Chicka Boom Boom (1989) comes this captivating, rhyming offering for the lap-sit crowd. Readers can't be blamed for seeing this as a companion to Eric Carle's classic caterpillar tale.a graphically sumptuous book." * "Martin's caterpillar counting rhyme has been given new life with gorgeous and bold watercolor collages from his Chicka Chicka Boom Boom collaborator, Ehlert. |
