Описание: Joan Didion (b. 1934) is an American icon. Her essays, particularly those in Slouching Towards Bethlehem and The White Album, have resonated in American culture to a degree unmatched over the past half century. Two generations of writers have taken her as the measure of what it means to write personal essays. No one writes about California, the sixties, media narratives, cultural mythology, or migraines without taking Didion into account. She has also written five novels; several screenplays with her husband, John Gregory Dunne; and three late-in-life memoirs, including The Year of Magical Thinking and Blue Nights, which have brought her a new wave of renown.Conversations with Joan Didion features seventeen interviews with the author, spanning decades, continents, and genres. Didion reflects on her childhood in Sacramento; her time at Berkeley (both as a student and later as a visiting professor), in New York, and in Hollywood; her marriage to Dunne; and of course her writing. Didion describes her methods of writing, the ways in which the various genres she has worked in inform one another, and the concerns that have motivated her to write.

Описание:
When Carys Reece, the daughter of music royalty Bishop and Alana Reece, and her boyfriend, up-and-coming recording artist Nikko Williams, decide it's time to move past the "safe zone" and take their relationship to the next level, their long-awaited sexy getaway is derailed by a shocking family intervention. They soon learn their parents have never told them the whole truth of what they've had to do to make it in the ruthless and tumultuous world of love and hip-hop...and now their complex web of lies threatens everything Carys and Nikko hoped to build together.
Full of steamy twists, salacious turns, and devastating revelations, Blurred Lines is a tale of three generations of strong-willed and ambitious women who find themselves at life's crossroads with everything to lose: their men, their money, and even their music. This fast-paced, outrageously scandalous and compelling page-turner by Mona Scott-Young, Executive Producer of VH1's hit docuseries "Love & Hip Hop," and bestselling author Courtney Parker is as wild a ride as the show itself, and the straight-from-the-headlines story will satisfy fans while taking storytelling to a whole new level - and reaching a whole new audience.

Описание: May 1940, the last days of the Great Depression, and private investigator Benjamin Wade isn't exactly rolling in the dough. He doesn't even have a secretary. So he's in the unenviable position of taking any client that walks in his office. Elmer Smith, a local farmer, has a problem: all of his chickens are scheduled for slaughter. He's desperate to save his livelihood. He got a court injunction to slow the process, but time is running out. Instead of laughing Smith out the door, Wade suppresses his pride to take the case. It seems like a simple, straight-forward paycheck. He zeroes in on a central question: What really happened the night police chased someone through Smith's farm? Wade isn't the only one asking that question, but he could be the only one who might die for it.

Описание: What if the only way you could discover who killed your brother was to lie to your commanding officer? May 1940. Western Europe is on edge, wondering when the Nazis will strike. America is neutral, woefully unprepared for war, and President Roosevelt tries to steer the dicey waters of international diplomacy and keep the United States out of the conflict. It is in this environment when Sergeant Lillian Saxton, US Army, receives a cryptic message from an old flame who now lives in Germany: meet me in Belgium and I'll not only give you the key to the Nazi code books but also information about the man who murdered your brother. Lillian conducts all her missions with panache and confidence, even when bullets start to fly and enemy agents zero in to kill her. She's more uncertain of how she'll react when she sees the man who broke her heart or how she'll get out of Belgium when the Nazis launch their invasion. Acclaim For Scott Dennis Parker Wading Into War is "...an excellent period private-eye yarn with a great pace. Scott nails the setting and the time period as well. Highly Recommended." -James Reasoner, author of TEXAS WIND "The writing is crisp, the action flows well. The setting has the right amount of flavor to recreate the time period. With well-drawn characters, it's a good escapist read. And with a title like that All Chickens Must Die], you just have to get it." -Dale T. Phillips, author of A MEMORY OF GRIEF

Описание:
From the author of Running after Prefontaine and Run for Your Life: A Manifesto comes a collection of essential writings on running. Parker is at his best here celebrating the kind of playful running that any runner can enjoy. The Joy of Running qua Running is a light-hearted and light-footed jog through our most human sport.
Many of the pieces collected here are new. Others have appeared previously in Sport Literate, the Oregonian, Run Minnesota, Philosophy Now, and the Bozeman Daily Chronicle, among other publications.
From the author of The Little Black Book of Innovation, a new guide for using the power of habit to build a culture of innovation
Leaders have experimented with open innovation programs, corporate accelerators, venture capital arms, skunkworks, and innovation contests. They've trekked to Silicon Valley, Shenzhen, and Tel Aviv to learn from today's hottest, most successful tech companies. Yet most would admit they've failed to create truly innovative cultures. There's a better way. And it all starts with the power of habit.
In Eat, Sleep, Innovate, innovation expert Scott Anthony and his impressive team of coauthors use groundbreaking research in behavioral science to provide a first-of-its-kind playbook for empowering individuals and teams to be their most curious and creative—every single day.
Throughout the book, the authors reveal a collection of BEANs—behavior enablers, artifacts, and nudges—they've collected from workplaces across the globe that will unleash the natural innovator inside everyone. In addition to case studies of "normal organizations doing extraordinary things," they provide readers with the tools to create their own hacks and habits, which they can then use to build and sustain their own models of a culture of innovation.
Fun, lively, and utterly unique, Eat, Sleep, Innovate is the book you need to make innovation a natural and habitual act within your team or organization.
