Kidnapping Of Edgardo Mortara Fti Bok
<p>Now filmed by Steven Spielberg, starring Mark Rylance as the Pope. The extraordinary story of how the Vatican's imprisonment of a six-year-old Jewish boy helped to bring about the collapse of the popes' worldly power in Italy. Bologna: nightfall, June 1858.</p><p>A knock sounds at the door of the Jewish merchant Momolo Mortara. Two officers of the Inquisition burst inside and seize Mortara's six-year-old son, Edgardo. As the boy is wrenched from his father's arms, his mother collapses.</p><p>The reason for his abduction: the boy had been secretly `baptized' by a family servant. According to papal law, the child is therefore a Catholic who can be taken from his family and delivered to a special monastery where his conversion will be completed. With this terrifying scene, prize-winning historian David I.</p><p>Kertzer begins the true story of how one boy's kidnapping became a pivotal event in the collapse of the Vatican as a secular power. The book evokes the anguish of a modest merchant's family, the rhythms of daily life in a Jewish ghetto, and also explores, through the revolutionary campaigns of Mazzini and Garibaldi and outside leaders like Napoleon III, the emergence of Italy as a modern national state. Moving and informative, The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara reads as both a thriller and an authoritative account of a moment that changed Europe forever.</p>

No Rules Rules Bok
<p>Hard work is irrelevant. Be radically honest. Adequate performance gets a generous severance.</p><p>And never, ever try to please your boss. These are some of the ground rules if you work at Netflix. They are part of a unique cultural experiment that explains how the company has transformed itself at lightning speed from a DVD mail order service into a streaming superpower - with 125 million fervent subscribers and a market capitalisation bigger than Disney.</p><p>Finally Reed Hastings, Netflix Chairman and CEO, is sharing the secrets that have revolutionised the entertainment and tech industries. With INSEAD business school professor Erin Meyer, he will explore his leadership philosophy - which begins by rejecting the accepted beliefs under which most companies operate - and how it plays out in practice at Netflix. From unlimited holidays to abolishing financial approvals, Netflix offers a fundamentally different way to run any organization, one far more in tune with a fast-paced world.</p><p>For anyone interested in creativity, productivity and innovation, the Netflix culture is something close to a holy grail. This book will make it, and its creator, fully accessible for the first time.</p>

Best Story Wins Bok
Whether you're standing up in front of a crowd at a conference or chatting with a colleague on Zoom, storytelling is the most effective way to get your point across. It works in 90 second Superbowl TV spots, it works in 10 second social media formats, and it works in that email you have to fire off in 5 seconds flat. Why? The short answer is that people don't make decisions based on logic. They make decisions based on emotions. To persuade, influence and inspire, you need to make an emotional connection. And storytelling is the best way of doing that. Journalist-turned-business coach Mark Edwards has developed his own methodology - SUPERB - for telling compelling stories at work. From the classic Hero's Journey to why we all need to Save a Cat, Best Story Wins shows how storytelling will make better communicators of us all.

Challenger Bok
The definitive, dramatic, minute-by-minute story of the 1986 Challenger space shuttle disaster by New York Times-bestselling author Adam Higginbotham, based on fascinating new archival research and in-depth reporting - a riveting history that reads like a thriller The Challenger space shuttle was the most complicated machine ever built and Mission 51-L was an event to define a generation- it had the largest and most diverse intake of astronauts in NASA history and it would launch into orbit Christa McAuliffe, the world's first 'Teacher In Space'. The mission was emblematic of an America standing tall once again, revitalised under its new leader, President Ronald Reagan. On Tuesday 28 January 1986 when Challenger was launched into space, the shuttle exploded into a fireball in the sky above the Atlantic Ocean, just over a minute into its journey. The seven men and women onboard were killed, and the disaster was watched live by millions around the world. The long chain of events that led to the disaster, and the aftermath of the tragedy, have remained clouded by time, misconception and the complexities of aerospace engineering. Despite months of headlines, video replays of the doomed launch, and a Congressional investigation which itself became a media spectacle, the truth of the accident has never been fully unravelled. To most, it was known simply as the catastrophe that killed Christina McAuliffe, the Teacher in Space. In this jaw-dropping account based on deep archival research and original reporting, award-winning journalist Adam Higginbotham reveals the lives of the men and women whose stories have been overshadowed by the disaster, not only the seven members of the Challenger crew, but the designers, engineers and test pilots who knew that shortcuts were being taken. A tale of hubris and over-reach on the 'high frontier', as well as spectacle that's never been seen before or since, Challenger is a classic work of storytelling from a master of the form.

The Art Of Danish Living Bok
<p><b>A beautiful, research-backed guide with illustrations, photography and inspiration for how to live and work like the happiest people in the world from the author of the million-copy bestseller, <i>The Little Book of Hygge</i><br/></b><br/>It is well known that Denmark is one of the happiest nations in the world, and this is true in the workplace, too. Almost two thirds of Danes report a high level of job satisfaction and 58% would carry on working even if they no longer needed to. They even have a word that means 'happiness at work' - <i>arbejdsglaede - </i>and yet, the rest of the world are struggling with a burnout epidemic, so where are we going wrong?<br/><br/>Based on a new study from The Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen, Meik reveals exactly that in his most valuable book to date. Beautifully illustrated and with chapters on purpose, trust, success and freedom, Meik suggests a more holistic approach to life and work complete with simple tips, such as: creating a 'smile file' of moments where you've made a difference, or 'job-crafting' by finding the tasks that bring you the most joy and amplifying them in your daily routine.<br/><br/>Meik's latest masterpiece provides the inspiration and simple tools we all need to reduce stress, increase our sense of purpose, and live the Danish way.<br/><br/>'Danish, dishy and the world's happiest man' <b>The Times<br/></b>'I love it, I love it, I love it. Just reading it makes you more content' <b>Chris Evans</b> (praise for <i>My Hygge Home</i>)</p>

The Power Of Culture Bok
All organizations have a culture, whether they acknowledge it or not, and whether it's helping or hindering them. Get it right, and culture can be a positive force for good. Get it wrong, and culture can be a negative, becoming toxic and undermining performance and reputations. In short, culture matters. It can, though, be a tricky thing to understand and master. The Power of Culture tackles this head-on, exploring what culture is and why it matters; how it needs to be aligned with strategy and values, and how to understand it, change it and make it a reality. Told through real stories and examples and using the author's Intentional Culture Circle as a guide, this book helps everyone at work to be more aware of culture and how to find opportunities to make it work better.
