The Infinite Game
Penguin Audio 2019. Hardcover. New/New. <p><strong>Author:</strong> Simon Sinek Simon Sinek</p><p><strong>Publisher:</strong> Penguin Audio</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Hardcover</p><p><strong>ISBN:</strong> 9781984828507</p><p><strong>Release Date:</strong> 2019</p><p><strong>Details:</strong> So many organizations and individuals are obsessed with winning. But how do you win a game that never really ends There is no such thing for example as "winning" business.Simon Sinek's Start With Why and Leaders Eat Last have helped millions of readers see the hidden rules that govern our behavior. Now The Infinite Game picks up where those books left off challenging us to rethink our perspective on how organizations really work. This time Sinek explores a deceptively simple question: How do you stay ahead in a game with no endGames like basketball and chess are finite with firm rules and clear endpoints. But business for example is infinite -- there's ultimately no such thing as "winning" because there's always a new set of challenges. Those who thrive in the long run are those who play by infinite rules. They do things that enable them to out-maneuver out-innovate and outlast their competitors.Trying to play an infinite game with a finite mindset can be catastrophic. During the Vietnam War for instance America won nearly every battle and killed many more enemy troops but still lost the war. The metrics by which they kept score ultimately didn't matter. The North Vietnamese were willing to endure any hardship for as long as it took to force the Americans to give up. The North Vietnamese played the Infinite Game.Through a wide range of examples Sinek explores how infinite players in any field can exhaust their competitors stay ahead for the long run and create strong organizations built to weather nearly any storm. Great leaders instinctively play the infinite game rather than chase short-term gains. Now the rest of us can understand how they do it.</p> Penguin Audio hardcover

It had retreated as a significant port after the Second World War and by 1979 it was already on the brink. What it needed was support but instead a Conservative Party with aggressive new ideas allowed it to slide. Thirty-years after the Toxteth Riots classified government papers revealed that the prime minister Margaret Thatcher was urged to abandon the city and embark on a programme of 'managed decline'. Why did Liverpool's fortunes change so dramatically Why did it fight back when other cities did not This is the untold story of what it was like for Liverpool's people and how the period defines who they are.</p> Decoubertin Books hardcover

Leaders Eat Last
Brilliance Audio 2015. Hardcover. New/New. <p><strong>Author:</strong> Simon Sinek</p><p><strong>Publisher:</strong> Brilliance Audio</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Hardcover</p><p><strong>ISBN:</strong> 9781480542600</p><p><strong>Release Date:</strong> 2015</p><p><strong>Details:</strong> The New York Times bestseller by the acclaimed bestselling author of Start With Why and Together is Better. Now with an expanded chapter and appendix on leading millennials based on Simon Sinek's viral video "The Millennial Question" 150 million views.Imagine a world where almost everyone wakes up inspired to go to work feels trusted and valued during the day then returns home feeling fulfilled. This is not a crazy idealized notion. Today in many successful organizations great leaders create environments in which people naturally work together to do remarkable things. In his work with organizations around the world Simon Sinek noticed that some teams trust each other so deeply that they would literally put their lives on the line for each other. Other teams no matter what incentives are offered are doomed to infighting fragmentation and failure. WhyThe answer became clear during a conversation with a Marine Corps general. "Officers eat last" he said. Sinek watched as the most junior Marines ate first while the most senior Marines took their place at the back of the line. What's symbolic in the chow hall is deadly serious on the battlefield: Great leaders sacrifice their own comfort--even their own survival--for the good of those in their care.Too many workplaces are driven by cynicism paranoia and self-interest. But the best ones foster trust and cooperation because their leaders build what Sinek calls a "Circle of Safety" that separates the security inside the team from the challenges outside.Sinek illustrates his ideas with fascinating true stories that range from the military to big business from government to investment banking.</p> Brilliance Audio hardcover

But he could not escape the British police who came for him in the early hours and shipped him off to Hutchinson Camp on the Isle of Man under suspicion of being a spy for the very regime he had fled. During Hitler's rise to power in the 1930s tens of thousands of German and Austrian Jews like Peter escaped and found refuge in Britain. After war broke out and paranoia gripped the nation Prime Minister Winston Churchill ordered that these innocent asylum seekers--so-called "enemy aliens"--be interned. When Peter arrived at Hutchinson Camp he found one of history's most astounding prison populations: renowned professors composers journalists and artists. Together they created a thriving cultural community complete with art exhibitions lectures musical performances and poetry readings. The artists welcomed Peter as their pupil and forever changed the course of his life. Meanwhile suspicions grew that a real spy was hiding among them--one connected to a vivacious heiress from Peter's past. Drawing from unpublished first-person accounts and newly declassified government documents award-winning journalist Simon Parkin reveals an "extraordinary yet previously untold true story" Daily Express that serves as a "testimony to human fortitude despite callous hypocritical injustice" The New Yorker and "an example of how individuals can find joy and meaning in the absurd and mundane" The Spectator.</p> Blackstone Pub hardcover

Heffer Simon
The Age of Decadence
WINDMILL 2018. Hardcover. New/New. <p><strong>Author:</strong> Heffer Simon</p><p><strong>Publisher:</strong> WINDMILL</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Hardcover</p><p><strong>ISBN:</strong> 9780099592242</p><p><strong>Release Date:</strong> 2018</p><p><strong>Number Of Pages:</strong> 912</p><p><strong>Details:</strong> ‘A riveting account of the pre-First World War years . . . The Age of Decadence is an enormously impressive and enjoyable read.’ Dominic Sandbrook Sunday Times‘A magnificent account of a less than magnificent epoch.’ Jonathan Meades Literary ReviewThe folk-memory of Britain in the years before the Great War is of a powerful contented orderly and thriving country. She commanded a vast empire. She bestrode international commerce. Her citizens were living longer profiting from civil liberties their grandparents only dreamt of and enjoying an expanding range of comforts and pastimes. The mood of pride and self-confidence is familiar from Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance marches newsreels of George V’s coronation and the London’s great Edwardian palaces.Yet things were very different below the surface. In The Age of Decadence Simon Heffer exposes the contradictions of late-Victorian and Edwardian Britain. He explains how despite the nation’s massive power a mismanaged war against the Boers in South Africa created profound doubts about her imperial destiny. He shows how attempts to secure vital social reforms prompted the twentieth century’s gravest constitutional crisis and coincided with the worst industrial unrest in British history. He describes how politicians who conceded the vote to millions more men disregarded women so utterly that female suffragists’ public protest bordered on terrorism. He depicts a ruling class that fell prey to degeneracy and scandal. He analyses a national psyche that embraced the motor-car the sensationalist press and the science fiction of H. G. Wells but also the Arts and Crafts of William Morris and the nostalgia of A. E. Housman. And he concludes with the crisis that in the summer of 1914 threatened the existence of the United Kingdom – a looming civil war in Ireland.He lights up the era through vivid pen-portraits of the great men and women of the day – including Gladstone Parnell Asquith and Churchill but also Mrs Pankhurst Beatrice Webb Baden-Powell Wilde and Shaw – creating a richly detailed panorama of a great power that through both accident and arrogance was forced to face potentially fatal challenges.‘A devastating critique of prewar Britain . . . disturbingly relevant to the world in which we live.’ Gerard DeGroot The Times‘You won’t put it down . . . A really riveting read.’ Rana Mitter BBC Radio 3 Free Thinking</p> WINDMILL hardcover

The two used to be friends before Connor's behaviour caused a bitter rift. And the news the policeman brings is even less welcome: the psychotic rapist and murderer Jerome Monk has escaped from high security prison. Monk's is a name all too familiar to Hunter. Eight years before he'd part of an ill-fated Body Recovery team assembled to try and find the graves of Monk's teenage victims on the bleak expanse of Dartmoor. Only one of the missing girls' bodies was ever found and Monk's own controversial involvement in the search led to more failure and a violent denouement. And now Monk is on the loose - and seems to be targeting anyone involved with the original search. Then Hunter receives a mysterious appeal for help from Sophie Keller a young woman who also worked on the operation he suddenly finds that the past is far from dead and buried. Neither the events unfolding now nor those from all those years ago are quite as they seem. And as the maniac's bloody trail edges ever closer Hunter is forced to question who he can really trust. Especially when his own life depends on it.</p> Random House Export hardcover

But where do fonts come from and why do we need so many Who is behind the businesslike subtlety of Times New Roman the cool detachment of Arial or the maddening lightness of Comic Sans and the movement to ban it Simon Garfield embarks on a mission to answer these questions and more and reveal what may be the very best and worst fonts in the world.Typefaces are now 560 years old but we barely knew their names until about twenty years ago when the pull-down font menus on our first computers made us all the gods of type. Beginning in the early days of Gutenberg and ending with the most adventurous digital fonts Garfield unravels our age old obsession with the way our words look. Just My Type investigates a range of modern mysteries including how Helvetica took over the world what inspires the seemingly ubiquitous use of Trajan on bad movie posters and what makes a font look presidential male or female American British German or Jewish. From the typeface of Beatlemania to the graphic vision of the Obama campaign fonts can signal a musical revolution or the rise of an American president. This book is a must-read for the design conscious that will forever change the way you look at the printed word.</p> Avery hardcover

Citizens are crossing borders to advance alternative visions of Europe. They spread protest concepts and tactics and explore new ways of organizing dissent. Far from being a recent phenomenon transnational protest is obviously more salient in a world of international corporations and global political interaction compounded by electronic communication and cheap travel. The transnational condition permeates all aspects of protest organization and dynamics – from individual biographies to activist networks to cycles of contention. The contributors offer insight into this multifaceted condition by combining rich empirical evidence with reflections on the problems of transnational research.</p> Berghahn Books paperback

Blackburn dissects the many common reasons for why we are skeptical about ethics.

Indeed from moral dilemmas about abortion and euthanasia to our obsession with personal rights to our longing for a sense of meaning in life our everyday struggles are rife with ethical issues. Blackburn distills the arguments of Hume Kant and Aristotle down to their essences to underscore the timeless relevance of our voice of conscience the pitfalls of complacency and our concerns about truth knowledge and human progress.Blackburn's rare combination of depth rigor and sparkling prose along with his distinguished ranking among contemporary philosophers mark Being Good as an important statement on our current disenchantment with ethics. It challenges us to take a more thoughtful reading of our ethical climate and to ponder more carefully our own standards of behavior.</p> Oxford University Press hardcover
