6. From Blood and Ash - Jennifer L. Armentrout
|

|
Captivating and action-packed, From Blood and Ash is a sexy, addictive, and unexpected fantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Laura Thalassa. A Maiden… Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers. A Duty… The entire kingdom’s future rests on Poppy’s shoulders, something she’s not even quite sure she wants for herself. Because a Maiden has a heart. And a soul. And longing. And when Hawke, a golden-eyed guard honor bound to ensure her Ascension, enters her life, destiny and duty become tangled with desire and need. He incites her anger, makes her question everything she believes in, and tempts her with the forbidden. A Kingdom… Forsaken by the gods and feared by mortals, a fallen kingdom is rising once more, determined to take back what they believe is theirs through violence and vengeance. And as the shadow of those cursed draws closer, the line between what is forbidden and what is right becomes blurred. Poppy is not only on the verge of losing her heart and being found unworthy by the gods, but also her life when every blood-soaked thread that holds her world together begins to unravel.

11. Dare to Lead - Brené Brown
|
|||
|
In her #1 NYT bestsellers, Brené Brown taught us what it means to dare greatly, rise strong and brave the wilderness. Now, based on new research conducted with leaders, change makers and culture shifters, she’s showing us how to put those ideas into practice so we can step up and lead. Leadership is not about titles, status and power over people. Leaders are people who hold themselves accountable for recognising the potential in people and ideas, and developing that potential. This is a book for everyone who is ready to choose courage over comfort, make a difference and lead. When we dare to lead, we don't pretend to have the right answers; we stay curious and ask the right questions. We don't see power as finite and hoard it; we know that power becomes infinite when we share it and work to align authority and accountability. We don't avoid difficult conversations and situations; we lean into the vulnerability that’s necessary to do good work. But daring leadership in a culture that's defined by scarcity, fear and uncertainty requires building courage skills, which are uniquely human. The irony is that we're choosing not to invest in developing the hearts and minds of leaders at the same time we're scrambling to figure out what we have to offer that machines can't do better and faster. What can we do better? Empathy, connection and courage to start. Brené Brown spent the past two decades researching the emotions that give meaning to our lives. Over the past seven years, she found that leaders in organisations ranging from small entrepreneurial start-ups and family-owned businesses to non-profits, civic organisations and Fortune 50 companies, are asking the same questions: How do you cultivate braver, more daring leaders? And, how do you embed the value of courage in your culture? Dare to Lead answers these questions and gives us actionable strategies and real examples from her new research-based, courage-building programme. Brené writes, ‘One of the most important findings of my career is that courage can be taught, developed and measured. Courage is a collection of four skill sets supported by twenty-eight behaviours. All it requires is a commitment to doing bold work, having tough conversations and showing up with our whole hearts. Easy? No. Choosing courage over comfort is not easy. Worth it? Always. We want to be brave with our lives and work. It's why we're here.’ |

Someone should have warned me about falling in love with my best friend.  Carolina  Little did I know when Rex came to my locker attempting to bribe me, that he’d turn into my everything. We’d become best friends. I’d steal his heart. He’d steal mine. Nothing has changed in the years of our friendship.  Not our connection, not our feelings, or that we still hold each other’s hearts.  But his heart isn’t the only thing I’ve kept. The secret I’m hiding could shatter the only man I’ve ever loved. Rex  I’ve loved Carolina since the day she called my bluff.  Our friendship always came first.  She believed in me when no one else did.  I tucked away my feelings because I couldn’t survive a life without her.  We crossed the line once, and I swore it’d never happen again.  As time passes, the harder it becomes to live up to that promise.  Until finally, there’s no holding back. |

35. Djurfarmen - George Orwell
|
|||
|
På den misskötta Manor Farm gör djuren uppror och driver bort sin alkoholiserade husbonde, Mr Jones. Alla djur ska vara jämlika och råda över sig själva. Men Gamle majoren dör, och i tomrummet efter den prisbelönta galt som inspirerade till resningen inleds maktkampen mellan Napoleon och Snöbollen, två andra grisar med stark vilja. Gården ska heta Djurfarmen, och alla som går på två ben är fiender, därom är man ense. Men utopin stagnerar snart i dogmatik, intriger och rå maktutövning. Djurfarmen är en politisk satir, som i allegorins form berättar hur revolution vänds i totalitärt förtryck. Med sina erfarenheter från spanska inbördeskriget i färskt minne riktar George Orwell i denna klassiska kortroman blicken mot det unga Sovjetunionen, där jämlikhetsdrömmen stelnat till stalinism. GEORGE ORWELL föddes i Indien 1903 och avled i London 1950. Som journalist, kritiker och författare var han en skarp vedersakare av sin samtid och dess politiska förutsättningar och konsekvenser. Han ville ogärna definiera sig själv politiskt, även om han mot slutet av livet hävdade att allt han skrivit sedan 1936 utgick från tanken på en demokratisk socialism. Modernista har även gett ut George Orwells magnum opus - 1984. |

From the TIME 100 author of the Sunday Times and number 1 New York Times bestseller So You Want to Talk About Race , a subversive history of white male American identity -- now with a new preface. 'One of the most admired writers and "internet yellers" around... [ Mediocre is] ever more vital... Oluo's meeting the time -- this movement against white supremacy and systems of oppression. But the question she keeps asking in her work: Are we?' IBRAM X KENDI ' Mediocre paints an urgent, honest picture of how white male identity has spawned unrest in the country's political ideology... It's a necessary read for the world we live in' CHIDOZIE OBASI, Harper's Bazaar '[Ijeoma's] books don't come from a place of hate, but of determination to make change... [ Mediocre is] another amazing book' TREVOR NOAH on The Daily Show What happens to a country that tells generation after generation of white men that they deserve power? What happens when success is defined by status over women and people of colour, instead of actual accomplishments? Through the last 150 years of American history -- from the post-Reconstruction South and the mythic stories of cowboys, to the present-day controversy over NFL protests and the backlash against the rise of women in politics -- Ijeoma Oluo exposes the devastating consequences of white male supremacy on women, people of colour, and white men themselves. As provocative as it is essential, Mediocre investigates the real costs of white male power in order to imagine a new white male identity, one free from racism and sexism. '[An] analytical and compassionate book' New Statesman 'Deftly combines history and sociological study with personal narrative, and the result is both uncomfortable and illuminating' Washington Post 'Ijeoma's sharp yet accessible writing about the American racial landscape made her 2018 book So You Want to Talk About Race an invaluable resource . . . Mediocre builds on this exemplary work, homing in on the role of white patriarchy in creating and upholding a system built to disenfranchise anyone who isn't a white male' TIME |

|

The sales and operations planning (S&OP) process is a major baseline for high-performance companies because, when done correctly, it keeps supply and demand in balance at the volume and detailed mix level, integrates and builds teamwork between general management, sales, operations, finance and product development, and links the company’s strategic and business plans to its detailed processes and tools used to run the business on an hourly basis. However, due to a lack of state-of-the-art guidance, most firms still aren’t achieving the substantial end-to-end supply chain, profit and shareholder value improvements that this process can help deliver. This comprehensive guide delineates how to accomplish successful top management planning using a step-by-step approach and explains how to implement and execute robust S&OP process excellence. It details the ease with which S&OP can be implemented and how it can be done correctly with little capital while still returning many times the investment. While achieving excellence takes practice, you can expect to begin seeing results almost immediately. Key Features --Covers all aspects of S&OP, such as proper roles, agendas, schedules, cost planning, forecasting, capacity planning, and measurements --Describes in an easy-to-read detailed format how senior executives must be engaged for this process to return the maximum benefits of operational excellence, improved profits and shareholder value --Explains how S&OP supports Lean Manufacturing, connects with ERP, and improves end-to-end supply chain performance --Teaches how to balance the supply and demand elements of overall sales rates with rates of production, aggregate inventories, and order backlogs --Discusses how S&OP can help improve supplier relations, shorten customer lead-times, lower inventories, stabilize production rates, and improve service to end-users --Features audit criteria for confirmation of a high-performance S&OP process WAV offers free downloadable audit criteria for confirmation of S&OP process excellence and materials for training or course instruction — available from the Web Added Value™ Download Resource Center at www.jrosspub.com |

46. Don't Trust Your Gut - Seth Stephens-Davidowitz
|
|||
|
When it comes to making big decisions, we might consult friends and family, read advice online or turn to self-help books for guidance. In the end, though, we usually just do what feels right. But what if our gut is wrong? As economist and former Google data scientist Seth Stephens-Davidowitz argues, our gut is actually not that reliable – and data can prove this. In Don't Trust Your Gut, he unearths the startling conclusions that the right data can teach us about who we are and what will make our lives better. Over the past decade, scholars have mined enormous datasets to find remarkable new approaches to life's biggest self-help puzzles, from the boring careers that produce the most wealth, to old-school, data-backed relationship advice. While we often think we know how to better ourselves, the numbers, it turns out, disagree. Telling fascinating stories through the latest big data research, Stephens-Davidowitz reveals just how wrong we really are when it comes to improving our lives, and offers a new way of tackling our most consequential choices. |

'During downtime on the pottery throwdown Keith made my hair curl with some of his tales - he's a great raconteur and recounts his story in this book as he does in real life - with joy, charm & mischief.' - Sara Cox 'Fans of Throw Down will enjoy this warm autobiography.' - Daily Mail 'An engaging read by an endearing, unassuming man who has always stayed true to his passions.' - Daily Mirror Ballet dancer. Front man in an almost famous band. Judge on The Great Pottery Throwdown . How did all that happen? By accident mostly. But I always say we make our own luck. What if an art teacher hadn't given me a lump of clay? What if the band had been really successful? What if I hadn't taken a photograph of a bowl to the buyer at Heals in London? What if she'd hated it? Or hadn't seen it... What if I hadn't agreed to dress up as Adele to make a crazy YouTube video? Every chapter of my book is based around an object (usually a pot) that's been significant in my life. It's just a trigger to let me go off in a lot of different directions and tell a few stories. A lot of stories. Dyslexia. The art teacher who changed my life. My Mother. My Father. A life-changing job interview with a man who lay under his car throughout. That video. Sifting through half-forgotten memories, trying to pick out the golden nuggets from the stuff that is definitely dross has been a curious, and at times hilarious, sometimes sad, but definitely enlightening process. So here it is - my pottery life with some very loud music and some pretty good dancing. And a lot of throwing, fettling and firing. Oh ...and a good dose of anxiety. |

Just the facts, Sir. Serious enquiries only. –CuriousCat4 When I see the ad in the Portland Alternative’s “Love Wanted” section, I can’t resist the urge to respond. Yes, it’s dangerous—as a star forward for the Badgers I have a reputation to protect—but I miss the thrill of calling the shots in the bedroom and reading that ad is the first time I’ve laughed in months. So I reach out to Curious Cat about the “educational” opportunity... A few sizzling—and hysterical—emails later we arrange to meet. I’m hoping we’ll have chemistry, and I might finally be on my way to getting over my ex-girlfriend. And then the gate to the beer garden swings open and in walks Hailey. My ex is Curious Cat, and this experiment just got a hell of a lot more complicated. But I never back down from a challenge—on or off the ice. I keep my educational offer on the table—six weeks of submissive lessons. Six weeks to learn how to drive a Dominant man crazy, and then we part ways as friends. What do I have to lose? Except what’s left of my heart? |

"Nyt on monen skandinaavisen rikoskirjailijan aika väistyä sivuun ja lajin lukijoiden katsoa ylöspäin: Stefan Ahnhem on täällä ja hän on hirvittävän vastustamaton." – C. J. Box Motiivi X on Stefan Ahnhemin neljäs trilleri Fabian Risk -sarjassa. Fabian Riskin tytärtä on ammuttu ja hän makaa koomassa Helsingborgin sairaalassa. Herkeämättä Risk valvoo tyttärensä vierellä. Samaan aikaan toisaalla brutaalisti murhattu pakolaispoika Syyriasta sysää liikkeelle mutkikkaan rikostutkinnan johon liittyy rasistisia motiiveja. Mutta mikään ei ole niin yksinkertaista kuin miltä ensin vaikuttaa. Kun useita uusia murhia tapahtuu, löytävät Lilja, Klippan ja muut Helsingborgin poliisit pian itsensä kiivaasta rikollisjahdista. Ennen pitkää Riskin on palattava palvelukseen, vaikka hän mieluiten omistautuisi vain perheelleen. Rikospoliisin päällikkö Astrid Tuvesson joutuu katkaisemaan juuri aloittamansa alkoholistien 12 askeleen toipumisohjelman johtaakseen työtä rinnakkaisilla eri tutkimuslinjoilla. Samalla Fabian kamppailee myös kuolleen kollegansa Hugo Elvianin jälkeenjättämän tiedon ratkaisemiseksi ja käynnistää oman yksityisen tutkimuksensa, joka saattaa mullistaa yhteenhitsautuneen tutkimusryhmän tulevan dynamiikan."Stieg Larssoniakin synkempää ja Henning Mankellia vielä lohduttomampaa ihmisyyttä." – Tony Parsons Stefan Ahnhem (s. 1966) työskenteli elokuva- ja tv-käsikirjoittajana yli 20 vuoden ajan ennen rikoskirjailijan uraansa. Ahnhem on julkaissut jo kolme itsenäistä osaa Fabian Risk -sarjassa.

71. The Dawn of Everything - David Graeber & David Wengrow
|
|||
|
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A dramatically new understanding of human history, challenging our most fundamental assumptions about social evolution—from the development of agriculture and cities to the origins of the state, democracy, and inequality—and revealing new possibilities for human emancipation. For generations, our remote ancestors have been cast as primitive and childlike—either free and equal innocents, or thuggish and warlike. Civilization, we are told, could be achieved only by sacrificing those original freedoms or, alternatively, by taming our baser instincts. David Graeber and David Wengrow show how such theories first emerged in the eighteenth century as a conservative reaction to powerful critiques of European society posed by Indigenous observers and intellectuals. Revisiting this encounter has startling implications for how we make sense of human history today, including the origins of farming, property, cities, democracy, slavery, and civilization itself. Drawing on pathbreaking research in archaeology and anthropology, the authors show how history becomes a far more interesting place once we learn to throw off our conceptual shackles and perceive what’s really there. If humans did not spend 95 percent of their evolutionary past in tiny bands of hunter-gatherers, what were they doing all that time? If agriculture, and cities, did not mean a plunge into hierarchy and domination, then what kinds of social and economic organization did they lead to? The answers are often unexpected, and suggest that the course of human history may be less set in stone, and more full of playful, hopeful possibilities, than we tend to assume. The Dawn of Everything fundamentally transforms our understanding of the human past and offers a path toward imagining new forms of freedom, new ways of organizing society. This is a monumental book of formidable intellectual range, animated by curiosity, moral vision, and a faith in the power of direct action. Includes Black-and-White Illustrations |

76. City on Fire - Don Winslow
|

|
“One of America’s greatest storytellers.” – Stephen King “No one fuses action with emotion like Winslow.” – The Times The new thriller from the #1 international bestseller – the start of a brand new trilogy ‘Superb. This is storytelling with a keen edge. City on Fire is exhilarating to read.’ — Stephen King A Times Best Book for 2022 Providence, RI, 1986. Twenty-nine-year-old Danny Ryan is a hard-working longshoreman, loving husband, loyal friend, and occasional “muscle” for the Irish crime syndicate that oversees much of the city. He yearns for something more and dreams of starting over fresh, someplace far away. But when a modern-day Helen of Troy triggers a war between rival mob factions, Danny is embroiled in a conflict he can’t escape. Now it is up to him to step into the breach to protect his family, the friends who are closer to him than brothers, and the only home he’s ever known. Exploring classic themes of loyalty, betrayal, honour, and corruption on both sides of the law, City on Fire is a contemporary Iliad from Don Winslow, “one of America’s greatest storytellers” (Stephen King). Reviews ‘A superior example of the gangster genre.’ Sunday Telegraph ‘Many would now describe Winslow as one of the masters of American crime writing, and this remarkable novel … is both breathtakingly panoramic and infinitesimally focused.’ Financial Times ‘Winslow’s previous “Cartel” trilogy is an astonishing achievement that will be hard to beat, but on the strength of this immersive and humane tale of fate, free will, loyalty and betrayal, his new series will rank alongside it.’ Guardian ‘This superb novel, by the writer of the Cartel trilogy of narco-thrillers, is a bloody tale of greed, lust and violent retribution, and based on various Greek myths, including Helen Of Troy.’ Sun ‘Winslow’s next juggernaut of a modern-day epic’ LA Times ‘Pure genius! Nobody can bring such grit and such heart to crime fiction as Don Winslow—and with such a unique and compelling stylistic voice.’ Jeffery Deaver ‘This is can't-put-it-down crime fiction. If you've read it, you know. If you haven't, maybe go out and get it.’ Stephen King ‘Gritty, moody, and totally immersive, CITY ON FIRE is the first installment in an epic new series that is sure to grip readers from the start. This is Winslow at his very best.’ Karin Slaughter ‘Winslow is our Dickens of modern crime. I can’t think of anyone better at what he does.’ Linwood Barclay ‘Superb. This is storytelling with a keen edge. City on Fire is exhilarating to read.’ Stephen King ‘City on Fire is as incendiary as its title suggests; a tale of family and friendship, carnage and corruption, that draws on the classics but has roots in the here and now. It ranks alongside his best, and Winslow’s best is as good as it gets.’ Mick Herron "City on Fire is the best gangster novel since The Godfather." Steve Cavanagh ‘Epic, ambitious, majestic, City on Fire is The Godfather for our generation.’ Adrian McKinty |

At heart, he's the perfect gentleman: he has a shy girlfriend, and seems to lead a quiet, normal life bordering on the mundane. Despite the fact that he can't stand the sight of blood, he works as a blood-spatter analyst for the Miami police. But Dexter also has a secret hobby: he is an accomplished serial killer. So far, he's killed 36 people and has never been caught because he knows exactly how to hide the evidence. And while that may lead some people to assume he's not such a nice guy, he tempers his insatiable hunger for brutality by only killing the bad guys. However, Dexter's well-organised life is suddenly disrupted when a second, much more visible serial killer appears in Miami. Intrigued that the other killer favours a style similar to his own, Dexter soon realises that the mysterious new arrival is not simply invading his turf but offering him a direct invitation to 'come out and play'... |
94. Vihreää valoa - Matthew McConaughey & Riina Vuokko
|
|||
|
Epäsovinnaisen näyttelijän posketon omaelämäkerta on rakkauskirje elämälle. ”McConaughey on lahjakas näyttelijä ja oiva kirjailija, mutta todellinen nero elämisessä.” – kirjailija Lawrence Wright Matthew McConaughey tunnetaan intensiivisistä, palkituista rooleistaan muun muassa tv-sarjassa True Detective sekä elokuvissa Interstellar ja Dallas Buyers’ Club. Räyhäkkäässä mutta rakastavassa duunariperheessä varttunut McConaughey on kirjoittanut teini-iästä asti päiväkirjaa ja tuntenut vahvaa vetoa ihmisenä kasvamiseen ja henkisyyteen. Vihreää valoa ei ole siksi vain omaelämäkerta. Se on myös hulvaton elämänopas, joka tallentaa ne valaistumisen hetket, joina elämä tuntuu siltä kuin surffaisi vihreällä aallolla. Nuo hetket ovat tehneet McConaugheysta yhden maailman tunnetuimmista näyttelijöistä – ja hyvin onnellisen ihmisen. ”Tämä kirja kattaa 50 vuotta näkemääni ja kokemaani, tuntemaani ja oivaltamaani, siistiä ja noloa. (…) Toivon että se on hyvänmakuista lääkettä, pari aspiriinia sairaalan sijaan, avaruusmatka Marsiin vailla astronautin lupakirjaa, jumalanpalvelus ilman uskoontuloa ja naurua kyynelten läpi. Tämä on rakkauskirje. Elämälle.” Matthew McConaughey on Oscar-palkittu näyttelijä. Hän näytteli vuosia romanttisten komedioiden komeaa arkkityyppimiestä, kunnes päätti muuttaa uransa suuntaa, ja hänet tunnetaan nykyisin paremmin rooleistaan elokuvissa Magic Mike, Interstellar, Dallas Buyers’ Club ja The Wolf of Wall Street sekä tv-sarjasta True Detective. McConaughey asuu Texasissa vaimonsa ja kolmen lapsensa kanssa. Vihreää valoa nousi heti ilmestyttyään New York Timesin bestseller-listan ykköseksi, ja The Guardian -lehti valitsi sen yhdeksi vuoden 2020 parhaista kirjoista. |

Onko läheiselläsi tarkkaavuushäiriö tai työskenteletkö ADHD-oireisten henkilöiden parissa? Myös tässä tapauksessa kirjasta on sinulle hyötyä. ADHD voi näkyä elämässä kaaoksena, unohteluna, hoitamattomina asioina, tunteiden ailahteluna ja itsetunto-ongelmina. Myös vaikeudet ihmissuhteissa, työssä ja opiskelussa ovat tavallisia. Moniin ongelmiin on kuitenkin onneksi mahdollista vaikuttaa. Tämä kirja on kirjoitettu tiedoksi ja tueksi ADHD-oireisille aikuisille, jotta he voisivat auttaa itse itseään. Kirja soveltuu kaikille riippumatta siitä, onko heillä tarkkaamattomuuspainotteinen vai myös ylivilkkautta sisältävä tarkkaavuushäiriön muoto. Kirjan ensimmäiseen osaan on koottu kaikki, mitä ADHD-oireisen tarvitsee tietää tarkkaavuushäiriön oireista, syistä ja hoitomuodoista. Toisessa osassa kerrotaan, mitä jokainen voi itse tehdä helpottaakseen vaikeuksiaan ja muuttaakseen elämäänsä haluamaansa suuntaan. Eri ongelma-alueisiin - kuten keskittymisongelmiin, lykkäilyyn ja impulsiivisuuteen - pureudutaan kuhunkin kerrallaan. Konkreettiset esimerkit ja harjoitukset auttavat viemään uusia keinoja käytäntöön. Kirja on täysin uudistettu laitos aikaisemmin ilmestyneestä, innostuneen vastaanoton saaneesta ADHD-aikuisen selviytymisoppaasta. Kirjoittajilla on pitkä kokemus aikuisiän ADHD:n hoitamisesta ja he ovat tehneet myös aiheeseen liittyvää tieteellistä tutkimusta.

100. In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts - Dr. Gábor Máté
|
|||
|
To heal addiction, you have to go back to the start… Featured on Russell Brand’s podcast Under the Skin Dr Gabor Maté is one of the world’s most revered thinkers on the psychology of addiction. His radical findings – based on decades of work with patients challenged by catastrophic drug addiction and mental illness – are reframing how we view all human development. In this award-winning modern classic, Gabor Maté takes a holistic and compassionate approach to addiction, whether to alcohol, drugs, sex, money or anything self-destructive. He presents it not as a discrete phenomenon confined to a weak-willed few, but as a continuum that runs through (and even underpins) our society; not as a medical ‘condition’, but rather the result of a complex interplay of personal history, emotional development and brain chemistry. Distilling cutting-edge research from around the world, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts avoids glib self-help remedies, instead promoting self-understanding as the first key to healing and wellness. Blending personal stories and science with positive solutions, and written in spellbinding prose, it is a must-read that will change how you see yourself, others and the world. 10th anniversary edition, updated with new chapter on the Opiod crisis |
