<![CDATA[Volver a empezar (Romper el c¨ªrculo, #2)]]> 63315204 Before It Ends with Us, it started with Atlas. Colleen Hoover tells fan favorite Atlas¡¯s side of the story and shares what comes next in this long-anticipated sequel to the ¡°glorious and touching¡± (USA TODAY) #1 New York Times bestseller It Ends with Us.

Lily and her ex-husband, Ryle, have just settled into a civil coparenting rhythm when she suddenly bumps into her first love, Atlas, again. After nearly two years separated, she is elated that for once, time is on their side, and she immediately says yes when Atlas asks her on a date.

But her excitement is quickly hampered by the knowledge that, though they are no longer married, Ryle is still very much a part of her life¡ªand Atlas Corrigan is the one man he will hate being in his ex-wife and daughter¡¯s life.

Switching between the perspectives of Lily and Atlas, It Starts with Us picks up right where the epilogue for the ¡°gripping, pulse-pounding¡± (Sarah Pekkanen, author of Perfect Neighbors) bestselling phenomenon It Ends with Us left off. Revealing more about Atlas¡¯s past and following Lily as she embraces a second chance at true love while navigating a jealous ex-husband, it proves that ¡°no one delivers an emotional read like Colleen Hoover¡± (Anna Todd, New York Times bestselling author).]]>

Romper el c¨ªrculo 60757597 Sometimes it is the one who loves you who hurts you the most.

Lily hasn¡¯t always had it easy, but that¡¯s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She¡¯s come a long way from the small town in Maine where she grew up ¡ª she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. So when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily¡¯s life suddenly seems almost too good to be true.

Ryle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. He¡¯s also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily. And the way he looks in scrubs certainly doesn¡¯t hurt. Lily can¡¯t get him out of her head. But Ryle¡¯s complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his ¡°no dating¡± rule, she can¡¯t help but wonder what made him that way in the first place.

As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan ¡ª her first love and a link to the past she left behind. He was her kindred spirit, her protector. When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened.]]>

The Art of Loving 35219607 The international bestseller that launched a movement with its powerful insight: ¡°Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence.¡±

The Art of Loving is a rich and detailed guide to love¡ªan achievement reached through maturity, practice, concentration, and courage. In the decades since the book¡¯s release, its words and lessons continue to resonate. Erich Fromm, a celebrated psychoanalyst and social psychologist, clearly and sincerely encourages the development of our capacity for and understanding of love in all of its facets. He discusses the familiar yet misunderstood romantic love, the all-encompassing brotherly love, spiritual love, and many more. A challenge to traditional Western notions of love, The Art of Loving is a modern classic about taking care of ourselves through relationships with others.

This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erich Fromm including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author¡¯s estate.]]>

?
Jes¨²s aconseja que ¡°se amen los unos a los otros. As¨ª como yo los he amado, tambi¨¦n ustedes deben amarse los unos a los otros¡± (Juan 13:34 NVI). Suena maravilloso, amar a todos como Jes¨²s lo ama a usted. Pero, a menudo, la realidad de vivir de esta manera es m¨¢s desafiante o puede parecer imposible, porque muchas personas son simplemente dif¨ªciles de amar.
?
Probablemente usted sepa esto por experiencia personal. Tal vez sea un compa?ero de trabajo poco amigable, un vecino entremetido o alguien de su familia o su ex pareja. Y m¨¢s en estos d¨ªas, donde las redes sociales y otros medios de internet son fuentes comunes de comunicaci¨®n hostil. No obstante, Dios quiere ayudarle a amar a los dem¨¢s como ?l lo ama a usted, incluso a quienes son m¨¢s dif¨ªciles de amar.
?
En este libro, Joyce Meyer comparte la sabidur¨ªa pr¨¢ctica de la Biblia y sus experiencias personales sobre c¨®mo superar los obst¨¢culos para amar a las personas dif¨ªciles. Descubrir¨¢ c¨®mo ser un pacificador en circunstancias tensas o incluso vol¨¢tiles, convertirse en una persona que no se ofende f¨¢cilmente, saber cu¨¢ndo adaptarse a los dem¨¢s y el secreto para amar como Jes¨²s cuando parece imposible hacerlo.
?
Con la ayuda de Dios, puede convertir las interacciones frustrantes en agradables y traer la paz que apaga el fuego de la contienda cuando estallan las discusiones. No tiene que vivir bajo una nube de intimidaci¨®n o temor al tratar con personas dif¨ªciles, ya sean conocidos o personas cercanas a usted. Cuando aprenda a amar como Jes¨²s, ?ser¨¢ libre de amar a la gente que es dif¨ªcil de amar!]]>

<![CDATA[I'd Like You More If You Were More like Me: Getting Real about Getting Close]]> 34568935 I'd Like You More if You Were More like Me takes on one of life's most important questions: How can I get closer to God and other people?

We were created for deep connections. When people have deep connections, says John Ortberg, they win in life. When they don't have deep connections, they cannot win in life. I'd Like You More if You Were More like Me offers help in overcoming one of the biggest obstacles to making deep connections: the fact that we're so different. Different from God and different from each other.

The good news is that connectedness is not based on similarity, but on shared experiences. When one person invites another to share an experience, they're connected. It can be sharing a beautiful sunset or a meal, having a great conversation over cup of coffee, going for walk, or even teasing somebody. And when we share those same experiences with God, we get closer to him, too. God wants to connect with us--so much that he sent his son to live as a human being. God took on flesh and shared every human experience. So we don't have to wonder what a close relationship with God looks like anymore.

An intimate relationship with God and other people doesn't have to be a cliche, it can be a daily way of life.]]>

<![CDATA[The Digital Transformation Playbook: Rethink Your Business for the Digital Age (Columbia Business School Publishing)]]> 27797899 Rethink your business for the digital age.

Every business begun before the Internet now faces the same challenge: How to transform to compete in a digital economy?

Globally recognized digital expert David L. Rogers argues that digital transformation is not about updating your technology but about upgrading your strategic thinking. Based on Rogers's decade of research and teaching at Columbia Business School, and his consulting for businesses around the world, The Digital Transformation Playbook shows how pre-digital-era companies can reinvigorate their game plans and capture the new opportunities of the digital world.

Rogers shows why traditional businesses need to rethink their underlying assumptions in five domains of strategy--customers, competition, data, innovation, and value. He reveals how to harness customer networks, platforms, big data, rapid experimentation, and disruptive business models--and how to integrate these into your existing business and organization.

Rogers illustrates every strategy in this playbook with real-world case studies, from Google to GE, from Airbnb to the New York Times. With practical frameworks and nine step-by-step planning tools, he distills the lessons of today's greatest digital innovators and makes them usable for businesses at any stage.

Many books offer advice for digital start-ups, but The Digital Transformation Playbook is the first complete treatment of how legacy businesses can transform to thrive in the digital age. It is an indispensable guide for executives looking to take their firms to the next stage of profitable growth.]]>

<![CDATA[Improv-ing Agile Teams: Using Constraints to Unlock Creativity]]> 26268999 IMPROV IS NOT ABOUT BEING FUNNY, ORIGINAL, OR CHAOTIC.

IT'S ABOUT EMBRACING CHANGE.

Improvisation. The mere mention of the word makes many people quake with fear at the prospect of chaos and uncertainty. The fact is, though, human beings are improvising almost every minute of their lives it is more natural, and more filled with possibility, than you might imagine.

On stage, improvisational actors use simple rules, collaborative principles, and game constraints to build unscripted yet intriguing storylines. This book explores how those same simple rules and principles can help agile teams collaborate more effectively and how purposefully working within constraints can unlock creativity.

Inside, you ll find over 50 techniques and improv games tailored for agile teams, complete with step-by-step instructions. These games are based on five different principles of improvisational theatre:

SAFETY: how accepting failure is essential to discovery
SPONTANEITY: how to increase the flow of ideas
STORYTELLING: how narratives help teams relate to their customers and end users
STATUS: how adjusting personal behaviour can encourage collaboration
SENSITIVITY: how to become more fully engaged with fellow team members]]>

Thinking In Systems: A Primer 3828902 Thinking in Systems, is a concise and crucial book offering insight for problem solving on scales ranging from the personal to the global. Edited by the Sustainability Institute¡¯s Diana Wright, this essential primer brings systems thinking out of the realm of computers and equations and into the tangible world, showing readers how to develop the systems-thinking skills that thought leaders across the globe consider critical for 21st-century life.

Some of the biggest problems facing the world¡ªwar, hunger, poverty, and environmental degradation¡ªare essentially system failures. They cannot be solved by fixing one piece in isolation from the others, because even seemingly minor details have enormous power to undermine the best efforts of too-narrow thinking.

While readers will learn the conceptual tools and methods of systems thinking, the heart of the book is grander than methodology. Donella Meadows was known as much for nurturing positive outcomes as she was for delving into the science behind global dilemmas. She reminds readers to pay attention to what is important, not just what is quantifiable, to stay humble, and to stay a learner.

In a world growing ever more complicated, crowded, and interdependent, Thinking in Systems helps readers avoid confusion and helplessness, the first step toward finding proactive and effective solutions.]]>

<![CDATA[Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less]]> 18077875 Do you simultaneously feel overworked and underutilized?
Are you often busy but not productive?
?Do you feel like your time is constantly being hijacked by other people¡¯s agendas?

If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is the Way of the EssentialistThe Way of the Essentialist isn¡¯t about getting more done in less time. It¡¯s about getting only the right things done.? It is not??a time management strategy, or a productivity technique. It is a systematic discipline for discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution towards the things that really matter.?

By forcing us to apply a more selective criteria for what is Essential, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to reclaim control of our own choices about where to spend our precious time and energy ¨C instead of giving others the implicit permission to choose for us.

Essentialism is not one more thing ¨C it¡¯s a whole new way of doing everything. A must-read for any leader, manager, or individual who wants to learn how to do less, but better, in every area of their lives, Essentialism ?is a movement whose time has come.]]>

Whether you love her or hate her, Margaret Thatcher's impact on twentieth-century history is undeniable. From her humble, small-town upbringing to her rise to power as the United Kingdom's first female prime minister, to her dramatic fall from grace after more than three decades of service, celebrated biographer John Campbell delves into the story of this fascinating woman's life as no one has before. The result of more than nine years of meticulous research, The Iron Lady is the only balanced, unvarnished portrait of Margaret Thatcher, one of the most vital and controversial political figures of our time.]]>

<![CDATA[Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead]]> 16071764 Lean In is a massive cultural phenomenon and its title has become an instant catchphrase for empowering women. The book soared to the top of bestseller lists internationally, igniting global conversations about women and ambition. Sandberg packed theatres, dominated opinion pages, appeared on every major television show and on the cover of Time magazine, and sparked ferocious debate about women and leadership. Ask most women whether they have the right to equality at work and the answer will be a resounding yes, but ask the same women whether they'd feel confident asking for a raise, a promotion, or equal pay, and some reticence creeps in. The statistics, although an improvement on previous decades, are certainly not in women's favour ¨C of 197 heads of state, only twenty-two are women. Women hold just 20 percent of seats in parliaments globally, and in the world of big business, a meagre eighteen of the Fortune 500 CEOs are women. In Lean In, Sheryl Sandberg ¨C Facebook COO and one of Fortune magazine's Most Powerful Women in Business ¨C draws on her own experience of working in some of the world's most successful businesses and looks at what women can do to help themselves, and make the small changes in their life that can effect change on a more universal scale.]]> 217 Sheryl Sandberg 0385349947 Marina 0 to-read 3.94 2013 Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead

Returning Contributors Ken Blanchard with Dennis Carey, Stephen Covey, Marshall Goldsmith, Charles Handy, Sally Helgesen, Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Jim Kouzes & Barry Posner, Richard Leider, Ed Schein, Peter Senge, and Dave Ulrich with Norm Smallwood.

New Contributors: John Alexander, Darlyne Bailey, Howard Gardner with Lynn Barendsen, Usman Ghani, Ronald Heifetz, Joe Maciariello, Jan Masaoka, John Mroz, Brian O'Connell, Jeff Pfeffer, Ponchitta Pierce, Srikumar Rao, General Eric Shinseki, R.

Hesselbein and Marshall Goldsmith, one of the USA's top executive coaches, edited the collection The Leader of the Future 2.

<![CDATA[What Got You Here Won't Get You There]]> 84525 America's most sought-after executive coach shows how to climb the last few rungs of the ladder The corporate world is filled with executives, men and women who have worked hard for years to reach the upper levels of management. They're intelligent, skilled, and even charismatic. But only a handful of them will ever reach the pinnacle--and as executive coach Marshall Goldsmith shows in this book, subtle nuances make all the difference. These are small "transactional flaws" performed by one person against another (as simple as not saying thank you enough), which lead to negative perceptions that can hold any executive back. Using Goldsmith's straightforward, jargon-free advice, it's amazingly easy behavior to change. Executives who hire Goldsmith for one-on-one coaching pay $250,000 for the privilege. With this book, his help is available for 1/10,000th of the price.]]> 256 Marshall Goldsmith 1781251568 Marina 0 to-read 3.94 2006 What Got You Here Won't Get You There

<![CDATA[Radical Candor: Be a Kickass Boss Without Losing Your Humanity]]> 29939161
"I raced through Radical Candor --It¡¯s thrilling to learn a framework that shows how to be both a better boss and a better colleague. Radical Candor is packed with illuminating truths, insightful advice, and practical suggestions, all illustrated with engaging (and often funny) stories from Kim Scott¡¯s own experiences at places like Apple, Google, and various start-ups. Indispensable." ¨D Gretchen Rubin author of New York Times bestseller The Happiness Project

"Reading Radical Candor will help you build, lead, and inspire teams to do the best work of their lives. Kim Scott's insights--based on her experience, keen observational intelligence and analysis--will help you be a better leader and create a more effective organization." ¨D Sheryl Sandberg author of the New York Times bestseller Lean In

"Kim Scott has a well-earned reputation as a kick-ass boss and a voice that CEOs take seriously. In this remarkable book, she draws on her extensive experience to provide clear and honest guidance on the fundamentals of leading others: how to give (and receive) feedback, how to make smart decisions, how to keep moving forward, and much more. If you manage people--whether it be 1 person or a 1,000--you need Radical Candor . Now." ¨D Daniel Pink author of New York Times bestseller Drive

From the time we learn to speak, we¡¯re told that if you don¡¯t have anything nice to say, don¡¯t say anything at all. When you become a manager, it¡¯s your job to say it--and your obligation.

Author Kim Scott was an executive at Google and then at Apple, where she worked with a team to develop a class on how to be a good boss. She has earned growing fame in recent years with her vital new approach to effective management, Radical Candor.

Radical Candor is a simple idea: to be a good boss, you have to Care Personally at the same time that you Challenge Directly. When you challenge without caring it¡¯s obnoxious aggression; when you care without challenging it¡¯s ruinous empathy. When you do neither it¡¯s manipulative insincerity.

This simple framework can help you build better relationships at work, and fulfill your three key responsibilities as a leader: creating a culture of feedback (praise and criticism), building a cohesive team, and achieving results you¡¯re all proud of.

Radical Candor offers a guide to those bewildered or exhausted by management, written for bosses and those who manage bosses. Taken from years of the author¡¯s experience, and distilled clearly giving actionable lessons to the reader; it shows managers how to be successful while retaining their humanity, finding meaning in their job, and creating an environment where people both love their work and their colleagues.]]>

<![CDATA[Guerras recicladas (Spanish Edition)]]> 28331482 La verdad sobre el paramilitarismo en Colombia.

"A pesar de ser un v¨ªvido y desgarrador retrato del auge de una clase de asesinos y mafiosos rurales culpables de actos de violencia y de crueldad a gran escala, este es tambi¨¦n un libro sobre h¨¦roes. Lo que sorprende es que en medio del caos, la violencia y la hipocres¨ªa de la Colombia perif¨¦rica muchas personas demuestran una valent¨ªa y una fuerza extraordinarias al defender sus principios y los de los oprimido y expropiados, y luchan por una Colombia nueva.



Mar¨ªa Teresa es una periodista y su aspiraci¨®n en este libro fue la de precisar los hechos y contar por primera vez la historia real del auge de la m¨¢s reciente oleada de paramilitarismo en Colombia. Y lo logr¨®. Sin embargo, el libro es mucho m¨¢s que esto, es un corte transversal, una crucial tajada caleidosc¨®pica de c¨®mo Colombia funciona realmente".

<![CDATA[Reinventar las organizaciones (Spanish Edition)]]> 29970104
Reinventar las organizaciones es un libro distinto, que rompe con el enfoque tradicional de los libros de management. Est¨¢ escrito como un manual para personas ¡ªl¨ªderes, fundadores, consultores, trabajadores¡ª que sienten que algo no ?encaja? en la manera actual de dirigir las organizaciones, que creen que puede hacerse mucho m¨¢s y se preguntan c¨®mo.

Laloux nos recuerda que cada vez que la humanidad ha accedido a un nuevo estadio de consciencia tambi¨¦n ha creado un modelo organizativo radicalmente m¨¢s productivo que el anterior. Y plantea la premisa siguiente: nos hallamos en uno de esos momentos cr¨ªticos de cambio; vislumbramos los albores de un nuevo gran salto hacia adelante.

Lo extraordinario es que Laloux es capaz de demostrarlo. Examina casos reales de organizaciones ¡ªempresas, asociaciones, hospitales y colegios de tama?os, sectores y pa¨ªses distintos¡ª que ¨¦l califica de ?teal-integrales? y que retratan esta nueva y m¨¢s aut¨¦ntica manera de funcionar. Sin conocerse entre s¨ª, dichas organizaciones han introducido innovaciones muy exitosas y sorprendentemente similares: la responsabilizaci¨®n y autogesti¨®n de los grupos de trabajo, la reivindicaci¨®n de la integridad de las personas y el car¨¢cter necesariamente evolutivo del proyecto empresarial.

Adem¨¢s de describirlas en detalle, el autor tambi¨¦n examina las claves de ¨¦xito de estas nuevas organizaciones. ?Qu¨¦ se necesita para crear una organizaci¨®n teal-integral? ?Es posible transformar organizaciones existentes? ?Y c¨®mo? ?Qu¨¦ resultados podemos esperar?]]>

<![CDATA[Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action]]> 7108725 Why do you do what you do?

Why are some people and organizations more innovative, more influential, and more profitable than others? Why do some command greater loyalty from customers and employees alike? Even among the successful, why are so few able to repeat their success over and over?

People like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers might have little in common, but they all started with why. It was their natural ability to start with why that enabled them to inspire those around them and to achieve remarkable things.

In studying the leaders who've had the greatest influence in the world, Simon Sinek discovered that they all think, act, and communicate in the exact same way¡ªand it's the complete opposite of what everyone else does. Sinek calls this powerful idea The Golden Circle, and it provides a framework upon which organizations can be built, movements can be lead, and people can be inspired. And it all starts with WHY.

Any organization can explain what it does; some can explain how they do it; but very few can clearly articulate why. WHY is not money or profit¡ªthose are always results. WHY does your organization exist? WHY does it do the things it does? WHY do customers really buy from one company or another? WHY are people loyal to some leaders, but not others?

Starting with WHY works in big business and small business, in the nonprofit world and in politics. Those who start with WHY never manipulate, they inspire. And the people who follow them don't do so because they have to; they follow because they want to.

Drawing on a wide range of real-life stories, Sinek weaves together a clear vision of what it truly takes to lead and inspire. This book is for anyone who wants to inspire others or who wants to find someone to inspire them.]]>

<![CDATA[#Workout: Games, Tools & Practices to Engage People, Improve Work, and Delight Clients (Management 3.0)]]> 23197707 This book is out-of-print. It is rereleased as Managing for Happiness in June 2016 by John Wiley & Sons.



"Can our organization be a little bit more like Pixar, Spotify, Netflix, Zappos, Virgin, Valve or IDEO? Is there something I can do to get a better company culture? Better collaboration? Better management?"

The book #Workout offers concrete games, tools, and practices for all workers so they can introduce better management, with fewer managers. It addresses many common questions, such as:

- How can we measure team performance?
- How can we decide on salaries and bonuses?
- How can we define job titles and career paths?
- How can we replace performance appraisals?
- How can we motivate our workers?
- How can we change the organization¡¯s culture?

In modern organizations, people are expected to be ¡°servant leaders¡± and ¡°systems thinkers¡±, but nobody explains exactly how to do this on a Monday morning. ¡°Empowering workers¡± and ¡°delighting customers¡± is crucial, but it¡¯s not concrete. Managers, and everyone else, need to know ¡°how¡± because most organizational problems are management problems.

Management is too important to leave to the managers!

This book offers you:

- Serious games to help improve organizational culture
- Simple practices that increase employee engagement
- Creative stories that inspire teamwork and collaboration
- New ways to achieve team accountablity and responsibility
- Easy workout exercises to make the business more agile
- Modern tools that enable people to enjoy a happy Monday

When you implement the games, tools, and practices in this book, you can move the organization toward better management with fewer managers.


"Jurgen's book is practical and fun, but most of all, it's subversive. If you care enough to get started, you'll discover that these tools will transform everything about your organization."
- SETH GODIN, author of The Icarus Deception

"Brilliant, counter-intuitive, and creative approach to management. Very insightful and humanistic. Highly recommended!"
- DEREK SIVERS, Founder of CD Baby, TED speaker, author of Anything You Want

"In our always-on, real-time world, the nature of work has changed, potentially for the better. While people can be more autonomous and more productive, they can also self-destruct easier. Jurgen tackles these important changes in his fun and interesting book."
- DAVID MEERMAN SCOTT, bestselling author of The New Rules of Marketing and PR

"Engage people, improve work, and delight clients: these are the tenets of this amazing book, which will show you how to transform the entire layer of management in your organization into a wellspring creativity, productivity, and engagement. Excellent!"
- MARSHALL GOLDSMITH, a Thinkers 50, Top Ten Global Business Thinker and top-ranked Executive Coach

"Today all managers are marketers. You need to sell your ideas, your plans, and your solutions. Management 3.0 #Workout sets you on a path to success in a world where we are each responsible for managing our own career and our own contribution to the world."
- PENELOPE TRUNK, author of Brazen Careerist: The New Rules for Success

Cuando nadie me ve 49093573
Pues bien, yo soy una de esas chicas modestas que no tienen suerte con los hombres.

Tampoco busco demasiado, y como vivo en una ciudad peque?a, la oferta es m¨¢s bien limitada. Me llevo alg¨²n que otro berrinche amoroso, aunque intento no amargarme. La desilusi¨®n me dura veinticuatro horas como mucho, porque para quitarme las penas ya tengo a Tito, mi compa?ero de piso, un treinta?ero ca?¨®n, divertido y heterosexual por los cuatro costados con el que, adem¨¢s, de vez en cuando mantengo alguna que otra charla trascendental. A Tito lo quiero a rabiar, y todos piensan que somos la pareja perfecta; no lo niego. Sin embargo, no solo no somos pareja, sino que hay m¨¢s... mucho m¨¢s...

Si quieres conocer todos los detalles, no puedes perderte esta comedia er¨®tico-rom¨¢ntica llena de entresijos, errores, tensi¨®n sexual y erotismo.]]>

<![CDATA[Arsenic and Adobo (Tita Rosie's Kitchen Mystery, #1)]]> 54351235 The first book in a new culinary cozy series full of sharp humor and delectable dishes¡ªone that might just be killer....

When Lila Macapagal moves back home to recover from a horrible breakup, her life seems to be following all the typical rom-com tropes. She's tasked with saving her Tita Rosie's failing restaurant, and she has to deal with a group of matchmaking aunties who shower her with love and judgment. But when a notoriously nasty food critic (who happens to be her ex-boyfriend) drops dead moments after a confrontation with Lila, her life quickly swerves from a Nora Ephron romp to an Agatha Christie case.

With the cops treating her like she's the one and only suspect, and the shady landlord looking to finally kick the Macapagal family out and resell the storefront, Lila's left with no choice but to conduct her own investigation. Armed with the nosy auntie network, her barista best bud, and her trusted Dachshund, Longanisa, Lila takes on this tasty, twisted case and soon finds her own neck on the chopping block¡­

Plenty 8086216 Ottolenghi Cookbook, Yotam Ottolenghi has established himself as one of the most exciting talents in the world of cookery and food writing. This exclusive collection of vegetarian recipes is drawn from his column 'The New Vegetarian' for the Guardian's Weekend magazine, and features both brand-new recipes and dishes first devised for that column.

Yotam's food inspiration comes from his strong Mediterranean background and his unapologetic love of ingredients. Not a vegetarian himself, his approach to vegetable dishes is wholly original and innovative, based on strong flavours and stunning, fresh combinations. With sections devoted to cooking greens, aubergines, brassicas, rice and cereals, pasta and couscous, pulses, roots, squashes, onions, fruit, mushrooms and tomatoes, the breadth of colours, tastes and textures is extraordinary.

Featuring vibrant, evocative food photography from acclaimed photographer Jonathan Lovekin, and with Yotam's voice and personality shining through, Plenty is a must-have for meat-eaters and vegetarians alike.]]>

<![CDATA[The Scrum Master's Guide to Collaboration: Mapping the Landscape]]> 58341700
Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won't come in.¡¯

Isaac Asimov



The Scrum Master's role can be highly rewarding and at the same time, it can get very turbulent. Scrum Masters would need to balance Stakeholder needs while keeping the organization's interests in mind, which is no small feat. Communication is of utmost importance in project work, as the Scrum Master may potentially need to mediate, negotiate and resolve conflict daily.

For the avoidance of doubt, this book is not intended to prepare you for certain industry certifications but aims to venture beyond and address the people aspect in projects.

To get the most out of Scrum, we need to map the landscape, identify and manage the forces that may impact our project.

This guide

- Is focused on the human aspect of Scrum projects: cross-functional communication, teamwork and collaboration
- Revisits the most common challenges in Agile projects (Stakeholders, organisational culture, resistance to change, and team dynamics)

Topics covered are

- Agile and Scrum principles, an overview of Agile frameworks, and Scrum's place among other Agile frameworks
- The Scrum Master's role, leadership styles and servant leadership
- Building and nurturing effective Scrum Teams (traits of ideal team players, team habits, dysfunctions, conflict styles)
- Building rapport with Stakeholders and managing their expectations
- Communication techniques most suited for servant leaders (Non-Violent
- Communication, questioning techniques and templates)

This book is intended to be brief, succinct and on point. The contents have been carefully selected and filtered to minimise distractions. I intended the style of this book to be more on the coaching side than the prescriptive side. Based on the twenty years of experience and knowledge I gathered in business and change, I proposed some ideas that may prove helpful when navigating the landscape. Additionally, at the end of each chapter, you will find a part titled ¡®Thinking corner¡¯, which is aimed to assist with self-reflection.]]>
