| Hailed by Toni Morrison as ?required reading,? a bold and personal literary exploration of America?s racial history by ?the single best writer on the subject of race in the United States? (The New York Observer) ?This is your country, this is your world, this is your body, and you must find some way to live within the all of it.? In a profound work that pivots from the biggest questions about American history and ideals to the most intimate concerns of a father for his son, Ta-Nehisi Coates offers a powerful new framework for understanding our nation?s history and current crisis. Americans have built an empire on the idea of ?race,? a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of black women and men?bodies exploited through slavery and segregation, and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it like to inhabit a black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates?s attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son. Coates shares with his son?and readers?the story of his awakening to the truth about his place in the world through a series of revelatory experiences, from Howard University to Civil War battlefields, from the South Side of Chicago to Paris, from his childhood home to the living rooms of mothers whose children?s lives were taken as American plunder. Beautifully woven from personal narrative, reimagined history, and fresh, emotionally charged reportage, Between the World and Meclearly illuminates the past, bracingly confronts our present, and offers a transcendent vision for a way forward. Praise for Between the World and Me ?Powerful and passionate . . . profoundly moving . . . a searing meditation on what it means to be black in America today.??Michiko Kakutani,The New York Times ?Brilliant . . . [Coates] is firing on all cylinders, and it is something to behold: a mature writer entirely consumed by a momentous subject and working at the extreme of his considerable powers at the very moment national events most conform to his vision.??The Washington Post ?I?ve been wondering who might fill the intellectual void that plagued me after James Baldwin died. Clearly it is Ta-Nehisi Coates. The language ofBetween the World and Me, like Coates?s journey, is visceral, eloquent, and beautifully redemptive. And its examination of the hazards and hopes of black male life is as profound as it is revelatory.??Toni Morrison ?A brilliant thinker at the top of his powers, Coates has distilled four hundred years of history and his own anguish and wisdom into a prayer for his beloved son and an invocation to the conscience of his country.Between the World and Me is an instant classic and a gift to us all.??Isabel Wilkerson, author ofThe Warmth of Other Suns ?I know that this book is addressed to the author?s son, and by obvious analogy to all boys and young men of color as they pass, inexorably, into harm?s way. I hope that I will be forgiven, then, for feeling that Coates was speaking to me, too, one father to another, teaching me that real courage is the courage to be vulnerable.??Michael Chabon ?A work of rare beauty . . . a love letter written in a moral emergency, one that Coates exposes with the precision of an autopsy and the force of an exorcism.??Slate

| This book is based on a simple, obvious point: leadership roles should be filled by people who deliberately decide they want to be in them. Yet many executives and managers find that they have become leaders by default rather than as a result of a personal choice. In fact, a great many people drift into or away from being leaders simply because they have not done the work of matching their own honestly described self with the realities of the leadership role. Not until they are well into their careers do many individuals seriously explore their personal fit for leadership. But by then, it is often too late to prepare for more gratifying roles or to get out of situations that don't make sense for them as individuals.Discovering the Leader in You offers a planful approach to understanding how aspects of personality, character, vision, home life, values, and skills match with essential leadership activities. This unique system of self-discovery clearly shows what it looks like to fit or not to fit in leadership roles in organizations.Robert J. Lee and Sara N. King, who developed this approach from their experience at the widely renowned Center for Creative Leadership in Greensboro, North Carolina, help leaders and potential leaders examine leadership commitments and development paths in the context of who they are as individuals. They show how to connect the inner self to the demands of leadership by using a set of questions that help (1) clarify the relevant realities and expectations in a leadership role, (2) bring out a personal vision and a leadership vision, (3) base leadership behaviors on personal values, (4) become more authentic in leadership situations, and (5) productively integrate work and personal lives.Discovering the Leader in You will help all executives--seasoned veterans and those considering leading as a new direction in their careers--to gain more personal insight into what leadership really means to them, to retain more control over their career choices, and consequently to achieve more personal success as leaders."In the considerable literature on leadership, this book focuses on something new-how individuals can identify the key attributes of great leadership and link them to their own unique vision, values, and personal strengths. The authors provide a roadmap to self-knowledge that becomes a guide to maximizing effectiveness in the organization and in life." ?Evelyn Rodstein, managing director, Leadership Organizational Development, J.P. Morgan"As we have known since biblical days, no one wants to follow an uncertain trumpet. If you want to be the most persuasive, self-confident, visionary leader that you can be, the tools and techniques in this book will help get you there" ?Douglas T. (Tim) Hall, director, Executive Development Roundtable, and professor of organizational behavior, Boston University School of Management"The perfect book at the perfect time! As leadership has become the critical element in the age of intellectual capital, the pressure to assume a leadership role without reflection or regard for the trade-offs it represents is greater than ever. Thanks to Bob and Sara, mentors and professionals at all ages have a tool to make a conscious choice to accept the challenge and rewards of leadership." ?Anita Jensen, vice president, organizationl development, Bristol-Myers Squibb"You wouldn't think there was anything more that could be said about leadership-but there is, the most important part in fact: how do you figure out who you are as a leader? Lee and King are wonderful counselors in answering this question. This book is going to be required reading in our executive MBA program." ?Peter B. Vaill, author, Learning as a Way of Being and Spirited Leading and Learning

| MOJO magazine?s 2015 Book of the Year, the outrageous true story of the Hollywood Brats?the greatest punk band you've never heard of?brilliantly told by founding member Andrew Matheson With only a guitar, a tatty copy of the Melody Maker, and his template for the perfect band, Andrew Matheson set out, in 1971, to make music history. His band, the Hollywood Brats, were pre-punk prophets?uncompromising, ultrathin, wild, and untamable. Thrown into the crazy world of the 1970s London music scene, the Brats recorded one genius-but-ignored album and ultimately fell foul of the crooks who ran a music industry that just wasn't quite ready for the punk revolution. Directly inspiring Malcolm McLaren, the Sex Pistols, and the Clash, the Hollywood Brats imploded too soon to share in the glory. Sick On You is a startling, funny, and incredibly entertaining period memoir about never quite achieving success despite flying so close to greatness.

| ?When it comes to growing revenues, not all dollars are equal.? In company after company that Sanjay Khosla and Mohanbir Sawhney worked for or researched, they saw businesses taking on more products, more markets, more people, more acquisitions?adding more of everything except what really mattered: sustainable and profitable growth. And in many of these companies ? large or small, from America to Europe to Asia ? every quarter became a mad dash to find yet another short-term revenue boost. There had to be a better way ? an alternative to the scramble for mindless expansion. The answer lies in Fewer, Bigger, Bolder, a market-proven, step-by-step program to achieve sustained growth with rising profits and lower costs. The authors prove that given the right incentives, managers using this program can produce astonishing results in amazingly short time frames. That?s exactly what Khosla accomplished as President of Kraft?s developing markets, which enjoyed eye-popping revenue growth from $5 billion to $16 billion in just six years, while profitability increased 50%. Sawhney, a professor at Northwestern?s Kellogg School of Management, discovered a similar formula for stellar results when advising a portfolio of businesses, from Fortune 500 giants to technology start-ups. No matter how big the company or how difficult the economic environment, managers who use this seven-step program (?Focus7?) will learn how to make fewer but bigger bets and to create a virtuous cycle of growth.Fewer, Bigger, Bolder crosses the usual boundaries of strategy, execution, people and organization. Its framework shows how you can drive growth by targeting resources against priorities, simplifying your operations, and unleashing the potential of your people. By challenging the conventional wisdom about growth, Fewer, Bigger, Bolder is likely to ignite a vigorous debate throughout the business community. It?s a game-changing book that couldn?t be more timely. Or more needed.

| From the Pulitzer Prize-winning, bestselling author of The Emperor of All Maladies?a magnificent history of the gene and a response to the defining question of the future: What becomes of being human when we learn to ?read? and ?write? our own genetic information? The extraordinary Siddhartha Mukherjee has a written a biography of the gene as deft, brilliant, and illuminating as his extraordinarily successful biography of cancer. Weaving science, social history, and personal narrative to tell us the story of one of the most important conceptual breakthroughs of modern times, Mukherjee animates the quest to understand human heredity and its surprising influence on our lives, personalities, identities, fates, and choices. Throughout the narrative, the story of Mukherjee?s own family?with its tragic and bewildering history of mental illness?cuts like a bright, red line, reminding us of the many questions that hang over our ability to translate the science of genetics from the laboratory to the real world. In superb prose and with an instinct for the dramatic scene, he describes the centuries of research and experimentation?from Aristotle and Pythagoras to Mendel and Darwin, from Boveri and Thomas Morgan to Crick, Watson and Rosa Franklin, all the way through the revolutionary twenty-first century innovators who mapped the human genome. As The New Yorker said of The Emperor of All Maladies, ?It?s hard to think of many books for a general audience that have rendered any area of modern science and technology with such intelligence, accessibility, and compassion?An extraordinary achievement.? Riveting, revelatory, and magisterial history of a scientific idea coming to life, and an essential preparation for the moral complexity introduced by our ability to create or ?write? the human genome,The Gene is a must-read for everyone concerned about the definition and future of humanity. This is the most crucial science of our time, intimately explained by a master.
