Having led change successfully at three sprawling, monumental organizations--the CIA, Texas A&M University, and the Department of Defense--Robert M. Gates offers the ultimate insider's look at how leaders can transform large organizations and companies. For many Americans, bureaucracy and corporate structure are code words for inertia. Gates knows that it doesn't have to be that way. With stunning clarity, he shares how simple plans, faithfully executed, can cut through the mire of bureaucracy to reform organizational culture. And he shows that great leaders listen and respond to their teams and embrace the power of compromise.

The book of Aron. New York: Vintage Books, a division of Penguin Random House LLC, 2016, First Vintage Books Edition, and 1st printing number line ending with 1, , . "Aron, the narrator, is an engaging if peculiar and unhappy young boy whose family is driven by the German onslaught from the Polish countryside into Warsaw and slowly battered by deprivation, disease, and persecution. He and a handful of boys and girls risk their lives by scuttling around the ghetto to smuggle and trade contraband through the quarantine walls in hopes of keeping their fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters alive, hunted all the while by blackmailers and by Jewish, Polish, and German police, not to mention the Gestapo. When his family is finally stripped away from him, Aron is rescued by Janusz Korczak, a doctor renowned throughout prewar Europe as an advocate of children's rights who, once the Nazis swept in, was put in charge of the Warsaw orphanage. Treblinka awaits them all, but does Aron manage to escape--as his mentor suspected he could--to spread word about the atrocities?". ISBN 9781101872741.

Octavo, softbound (stiff, full-color illustrated beige wrappers), 349 pp. Fine. From lower cover: When Suzanne Scanlon was a student at Barnard in the '90s, grieving the loss of her mother -- feeling untethered and swimming through inarticulable pain -- she made a suicide attempt that landed her in the New York State Psychiatric Institute. After nearly three years and countless experimental treatments, Suzanne left the ward on shaky legs. But through reading voraciously and writing obsessively, she was coming to understand her suffering as part of something larger: a long tradition of women whose complicated and compromised stories of self-actualization are reduced to "madwoman" narratives. Transporting, honest, and graceful, Committed is a story of discovery and recovery, a reclaiming the idea of the madwoman as a template for insight and transcendence through the works of Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath, Janet Frame, Shulamith Firestone, and others.

Trade paperback. Condición: Very good. The format is approximately 5.25 inches by 8 inches. xii, 314, [4] pages. Maps. Illustrations. Notes. Bibliography. Signed copy sticker on front cover. Signed by the author on the title page. Reverend Willie Maxwell was a rural preacher accused of murdering five of his family members for insurance money in the 1970s. With the help of a savvy lawyer, he escaped justice for years until a relative shot him dead at the funeral of his last victim. Despite hundreds of witnesses, Maxwell's murderer was acquitted-thanks to the same attorney who had previously defended the Reverend. Now Casey Cep brings this story to life, from the shocking murders to the courtroom drama to the racial politics of the Deep South. At the same time, she offers a deeply moving portrait of one of the country's most beloved writers and her struggle with fame, success, and the mystery of artistic creativity. Casey Cep is an American author and journalist. Cep is a staff writer at The New Yorker, and her work has appeared in The New York Times, The Paris Review, The New Republic and other publications. Cep's debut nonfiction book, Furious Hours: Murder, Fraud, and the Last Trial of Harper Lee (2019), tells the story of how Harper Lee worked on, but ultimately failed to publish, an account of a murder trial that happened in Alabama in 1977. Furious Hours debuted at No. 6 on the New York Times Hardcover Nonfiction Best Sellers List, and is a Books-A-Million President's Pick. The book won the 2020 ALCS Gold Dagger for Non-Fiction and has been shortlisted for the 2019 Baillie Gifford Prize. The book focuses on the life and criminal trials of Rev. Willie Maxwell â"an African American preacher and businessman, five of whose relatives died during the span of seven years, all after he procured life insurance policies for them. Additionally, the book examines the trial of the Reverend's killer, which Harper Lee attended and planned to write about in her final book, though it remained unfinished at the time of her death. The Alabama lawyer, politician, and civil rights pioneer Tom Radney defended Rev. Maxwell during several murder investigations and civil trials for insurance payouts, and subsequently represented his accused killer. In reviewing Furious Hours for the New York Times Book Review, the author Michael Lewis wrote: "She reminded me all over again how much of good storytelling is leading the reader to want to know the things you are about to tell him, while still leaving him to feel that his interest was all his idea." Cep's book, he said, "makes a magical little leap, and it goes from being a superbly written true-crime story to the sort of story that even Lee would have been proud to write." The New York Times selected Furious Hours for its "100 Notable Books of 2019." According to NPR's Ilana Masad, "Furious Hours delivers a gripping, incredibly well-written portrait of not only Harper Lee, but also of mid-20th century Alabama â" and a still-unanswered set of crimes to rival the serial killers made infamous in the same time period." Time's Lucas Wittman writes, "In elegant prose, [Cep] gives us the fullest story yet of Lee's post-Mockingbird life . an account emotionally attuned to the toll that great writing takes, and shows that sometimes one perfect book is all we can ask for, even while we wish for another." President Barack Obama selected Furious Hours as one of his favorite books of 2019. First Vintage Books Edition [stated]. First printing [stated].
