Book Description
A Washington Post Bestseller Your manual for remote and virtual work. Communicating virtually is cool, useful, and now even more ubiquitous and necessary than ever. But we're often reminded that the quality of human connection we experience in many forms of virtual communication is awful. We've all felt disconnected in a video conference, frustrated that we're not getting through on the phone, upset when our email is badly misinterpreted, or anxious that we're being misunderstood. How can we fix this? In this powerful, practical book, communication expert Nick Morgan outlines five big problems with communication in the virtual world--lack of feedback, lack of empathy, lack of control, lack of emotion, and lack of connection and commitment--and shows how to overcome them as we shift to working remotely more and more. Morgan argues that while virtual communication will never be as rich or intuitive as a face-to-face meeting, recent research suggests that we need to learn is to consciously deliver a whole set of cues, both verbal and nonverbal, that we used to deliver unconsciously in the pre-virtual era. He guides us through this important process, providing rules for virtual feedback, an empathy assessment and virtual temperature check, tips for creating trust in a virtual context, and advice for specific digital channels such as email and text, the conference call, Skype, and more. Whether you're an entrepreneur, an independent professional, or a manager in an organization that has more than one office or customers who aren't nearby, Can You Hear Me? is your essential communications manual for twenty-first-century work.

Book Description
Bangladeshi villagers sharing cell phones helped build what is now a thriving company with more than $200 million in annual profits. But what is the lesson for the rest of the world? This is a question author Nicholas P. Sullivan addresses in his tale of a new kind of entrepreneur, Iqbal Quadir, the visionary and catalyst behind the creation of GrameenPhone in Bangladesh. GrameenPhone—a partnership between Norway's Telenor and Grameen Bank, co-winner of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize—defines a new approach to building business opportunities in the developing world. You Can Hear Me Now offers a compelling account of what Sullivan calls the "external combustion engine"—a combination of forces that is sparking economic growth and lifting people out of poverty in countries long dominated by aid-dependent governments. The "engine" comprises three forces: information technology, imported by native entrepreneurs trained in the West, backed by foreign investors.

Book Description
A riveting coming-of-age story with the precision of a Hitchcock noir by a masterful new voice in Italian literature. "Suspenseful and elegiac, as beautiful as it is horrifying." --Karen Dionne "A densely layered psychological mystery." --Chicago Tribune "Reads like a collaboration between Daphne du Maurier and Megan Abbott." --The Irish Times Over the course of one oppressively hot summer in the small town of Ponte, in northern Italy, one family's secrets are revealed and the community is torn apart by a terrible crime. Sixteen-year-old Elia Furenti lives with his parents in a secluded house, a tight-knit family whose rhythms are dictated by the shifts in his father's emotional state. When the closure of the nearby factory leaves Elia's father without a job, however, home becomes an increasingly fraught environment. With the summer heat pressing down, Elia's father begins to spiral, his moods becoming increasingly dark and erratic, while Elia's mother refuses to acknowledge that anything has changed. Meanwhile, a forbidden relationship blossoms, as Elia seeks refuge from the silence and tension at home. Events reach a breaking point one moonlit night, when a young woman climbs into a van and is taken into the deep, dark woods . . .

Book Description
The public education system is failing our children. Almost two-thirds of our eighth graders aren't proficient in reading or math. And in a single school year, US public schools see almost a million incidents of violence, a number that continues to grow. In Can You Hear Me Now?, Suzanne DeMallie exposes the unsettling reality of our classrooms with a brutally honest account of the policies and practices that leave so many children behind. As a parent, DeMallie fought a nationwide battle against bureaucracy for the simple, common-sense idea that children in the back of a classroom should be able to hear their teacher. Now, as a teacher herself, DeMallie is speaking loud and clear, fighting public-school dysfunction on the inside. Can You Hear Me Now? walks parents and teachers through everything they need to know to make a difference in their local district and beyond, from the most basic questions they should be asking to the most effective steps they can take to make their voices heard.

Book Description
"Eye opening, riveting...I couldn't put it down! After reading Heaven Can You Hear Me? – I wasn't afraid of the dark anymore." – Chuck Williams, Filmmaker www.chuckwilliamsfanclub.com “Heaven Can You Hear Me? Is a wonderful glimpse into the mind and methodology of Peter James’ unique way of looking at, and dealing with, the spirit world. This book is an important contribution to the field of parapsychology; as it teaches us not to fear the spirit world; but, to treat the dead as they are, long lost friends. This book is a must read, from the casual armchair reader, to the seasoned paranormal investigator.” –Robert J. Davis, CEO Planet Paranormal Broadcast Network “My father knew Peter James was a valid medium who also was in search of the truth about ghosts, demons and partridges in a pair tree. Heaven Can You Hear Me? is exactly why I wrote my memoir, in using the same tones of humor and straight forwardness. One can choose to be very serious and dull, pointing out the facts; or, one can do what Peter did and shoot straight from the paranormal hip. Peter said to be ‘Mindful regarding the manner in which a ghost replies with audible words. When able to do so, an entity isn’t able to speak with the same kind of fluidity as physical beings.’ This is precisely what my father has said from the very beginning. If we do not understand, and put the cart before the horse, then surely we will miss the whole ride that lay ahead of us. In this read, Peter gives us his interpretations of many methods used, questions asked, types of techniques and paranormal realms, including: mediumship, reincarnation, possession, and connecting with the other side. I highly recommend this book, from one of the great mediums and researchers of modern times. As I progress in my own research, I cannot say it enough on how simple it can be when we slow down and intuitively feel what we are experiencing; rather than worry about which herb we will need to ward off the evil spirits. Thanks Peter, and you are sorely missed.” –Author and Paranormalist Alexandra Holzer “The pioneering work of the great Peter James has inspired people all around the world. He is revered by all who knew him and respected by all who knew his work. Heaven Can You Hear Me is by far THE definitive collection of Peter's cases, theologies and understanding of the paranormal, and an amazing look into the man himself.” – Thomas Durant, Host, Producer, Altered States Paranormal Radio
