Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Drawing on his thirty years in newspapers, the former editor-in-chief of The Globe and Mail examines the crisis of serious journalism in the digital era, and searches for ways the invaluable tradition can thrive in a radically changed future. John Stackhouse entered the newspaper business in a golden age: 1980s circulations were huge and wealthy companies lined up for the privilege of advertising in every city's best-read pages. Television and radio could never rival newspapers for hard news, analysis and opinion, and the papers' brand of serious journalism was considered a crucial part of life in a democratic country. Then came the Internet. After decades as a Globe journalist, foreign bureau chief and then editor of its Report on Business (not to mention former Scarborough delivery boy), he assumed one of the biggest jobs in Canadian journalism: The Globe and Mail's editor-in-chief. Beginning in 2009, he faced the unthinkable: the possible end of not just Canada's national newspaper, but the steep and steady financial decline of newspapers everywhere. A non-stop torrent of free digital content stole advertisers and devalued advertising space so quickly that newspapers struggled to finance the serious journalism that distinguished them in a world of Buzzfeed, Huffington Post, Yahoo and innumerable bloggers and citizen journalists. Meanwhile, ambitious online media aspired to the credibility of newspapers. The solution was clear, if the path to arriving at it was less so: the new school needed to meet the old school, and the future lay in undiscovered ground between them. Having led the Globe during this period of sudden and radical change, Stackhouse continues to champion the vital role of great reporting and analysis. Filled with stories from his three decades in the business, Mass Disruption tracks decisions good and bad, examines how some of the world's major newspapers--the Guardian, New York Times--are learning to cope, and lays out strategies for the future, of both newspapers and serious journalism, wherever it may live.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. For author Virginia Kiernan, February 2003 is a month, though more than ten years past, that remains vivid in her memory. It was the month her husband, Verner Kiernan, a father of six, was deployed with the 101st Airborne Division in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, only one month before the war with Iraq began. In Dear God, Please Keep Daddy Safe, Virginia narrates the trials and triumphs of a year of deployment. She discusses the struggles army families face as she provides insight into the unknown world of army life in one of the nation's top units-including a deadly grenade attack on her husband's unit, the emotion of attending heart-wrenching memorial services, and the family crisis that becomes compounded with separation. A compelling true story written by a mom raising six children while her husband was deployed during the early days of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Dear God, Please Keep Daddy Safe chronicles the highs and lows of events both overseas and on the home front, showing that the often overlooked issues at home can sometimes be as stressful as serving in uniform.…

Expand Your Knowledge of Organization Development to Enhance Your L&D EffortsATD's Organization Development Handbook is a tactical, hands-on book for those in learning and development looking to make that first step into organization development or those who are a one-person band doing both. While many books and textbooks exist on organization development-the effort to improve an organization's capability through the alignment of strategy, structure, people, rewards, metrics, and management processes--this volume is the first of its kind to address OD from the talent development and, specifically, L&D perspective.More than ever, L&D professionals are taking on organization development work to drive organizational effectiveness and performance.

Flores, this volume includes in-house experts and consultant contributors from the OD field itself as well as those who crossed over from L&D to OD. Readers will learn how to apply the foundations of organization development to their multiculturalism, upskilling and reskilling, soft skill development, and succession planning processes and programs.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In Millie Moore's Face Front, the wealthy Montgomery family has become prey to the worst kind of killer-one who knows family secrets and hides in the shadows, deceiving them into believing they are safe. In this twist-of-fate page-turner that exposes the consequences of jealousy and greed, a popular story from the book of Genesis is given a modern day spin. Jealousy is, I think, the worst of all faults because it makes a victim of both parties. -Gene Tierney When prominent Adele Pruitt Montgomery dies of what the local police are calling natural causes, her son, Steven, hires a former Police Detective, Schwinn, to prove otherwise. As Schwinn uncovers details of the Montgomery family-and their fortune-it isn't long before he is convinced the killer is someone in the Montgomery family's inner circle: Steven's new wife, Madison; his daughter, Samantha; or perhaps even Steven himself.…

From winning the 1979 Epsom Derby and Irish Derby on Troy, to victory in the 1989 Derby on Nashwan, his never-say-die racing tactics have endeared him to many racing fans.

He intends to disclose for the first time the full story of how in 1989, the Queen came to dismiss the trainer and turn him out of his West Ilsley stables while he was still recovering from open heart surgery - a scandal that caused a public outcry.…

Con una profunda confianza en sí misma y en su misión, Denise Padín Collazo ofrece en este texto una visión del papel de las mujeres latinas y de color en el liderazgo del mundo. Enfocada en la justicia social para las comunidades de color, la autora presenta varias estrategias para impulsar esta causa. Parte de la premisa de que las mujeres, como pilares de sus familias y sus comunidades, son los agentes sociales mejor equipados para luchar con éxito a favor de la equidad y la igualdad. La autora propone tres estrategias para prosperar en la lucha: creer en una visión propia de futuro, crear la versión más completa de sí misma y crecer en el amor que sobrepasa los aspectos negativos del pasado que son perjudiciales para el progreso. También enumera tres señales que advierten a la agente de cambio del peligro de estar abandonando la lucha: cuando imagina una realidad futura, cuando se pregunta dónde están sus límites y cuando espera el permiso y las respuestas de los demás.Prosperar en la lucha además aborda importantes asuntos como la integración de la familia en el trabajo, los prejuicios inculcados en las culturas de origen, la noción de ?cultura de urgencia?, los rasgos de la supremacía blanca arraigados en las instituciones y cómo pulir las destrezas de recaudación de fondos para obtener mayores logros. Las páginas de este libro están entreveradas con tablas, figuras y hojas de trabajo que ayudan al lector a visualizar, asentar conceptos y profundizar el aprendizaje.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. We have never seen a president like this. norm-breaking, rule-busting, dangerously reckless to some and an overdue force for change to others.

He's known and covered Donald Trump longer than any other White House reporter. With extraordinary access to Trump during the campaign and at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Karl delivers essential new reporting and surprising insights. These are the behind-the-scenes moments that define Trump's presidenc - an extraordinary look at the president, the person, and those closest to him. This is the real story of Trump's unlikely rise; of the struggles and battles of those who work in the administration and those who report on it; of the plots and schemes of a senior staff enduring stunning and unprecedented unpredictability.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. In nearly three thousand BBC broadcasts over fifty-eight years, Alistair Cooke reported on America, illuminating our country for a global audience. He was one of the most widely read and widely heard chroniclers of America--the Twentieth Century's de Tocqueville. Cooke died in 2004, but shortly before he passed away a long-forgotten manuscript resurfaced in a closet in his New York apartment. It was a travelogue of America during the early days of World War II that had sat there for sixty years. Published to stellar reviews in 2006, though "somewhat past deadline," Cooke's The American Home Front is a "valentine to his adopted country by someone who loved it as well as anyone and knew it better than most" (The Plain Dealer [Cleveland]). It is a unique artifact and a historical gem, "an unexpected and welcome discover in a time capsule." (Washington Post) A portrait frozen in time, the book offers a charming look at the war through small towns, big cities, and the American landscape as they once were. The American Home Front is also a brilliant piece of reportage, a historical gem that "affirms Cooke's enduring place as a great twentieth-century reporter" (American Heritage).…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. This inspiring true story of veteran Air Force bomber pilot Robert Trimble, who laid his life on the line to rescue World War II POWs on the Eastern Front. Near the end of World War II, thousands of Allied ex-prisoners of war were abandoned to wander the war-torn Eastern Front. With no food, shelter, or supplies, the POWs were an army of dying men. As the Red Army advanced across Poland, the Nazi prison camps were liberated. In defiance of humanity, the freed Allied prisoners were discarded without aid. The Soviets viewed POWs as cowards, and regarded all refugees as potential spies or partisans. The United States repeatedly offered to help, but were refused. With relations between the Allies strained, a plan was conceived for an undercover rescue mission. In total secrecy, the OSS chose an obscure American air force detachment stationed at a Ukrainian airfield. The man they picked to undertake it was veteran 8th Air Force bomber pilot Captain Robert Trimble. With little covert training, Trimble took the mission. He would survive by wit, courage, and determination. This is the compelling, true story of an American hero who risked everything to bring his fellow soldiers home to safety and freedom.
