Move

ISBN: 1982168986
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
"In the 60,000 years since people began colonizing the continents, a continuous feature of human civilization has been mobility. History is replete with seismic global events-pandemics and plagues, wars and genocides. Each time, after a great catastrophe, our innate impulse toward physical security compels us to move. The map of humanity isn't settled-not now, not ever. The filled-with-crises 21st century promises to contain the most dangerous and extensive experiment humanity has ever run on itself: As climates change, pandemics arrive, and economies rise and fall, which places will people leave and where will they resettle? Which countries will accept or reject them? How will the billions alive today, and the billions coming, paint the next map of human geography? Until now, the study of human geography and migration has been like a weather forecast. Move delivers an authoritative look at the "climate" of migration, the deep trends that will shape the grand economic and security scenarios of the future. For readers, it will be a chance to identify their location on humanity's next map"--

Pages : 315
Book Description
For one 1970s teenager, winning at poker and winning on Wall Street go hand-in-hand: “A coming-of-age story for the ages.” —Peter Lattman, vice chairman, The Atlantic In the wake of his mother’s death, Rogers Stout has no choice but to grow up fast. By high school, he already has the gambler’s gifts: a titanic brain, an uncanny ability to read people, and a risk-taker’s daring. All he lacks is direction . . . Everything changes the summer before his senior year when Rogers is invited into the boisterous environment of an investment bank’s trading room—and to a gambling hall dive where he immediately wins big at poker, capturing the attention of his coworkers with his card-playing skills. Intrigued by trading markets, Rogers’s intellectual curiosity takes him to Wharton and then Wall Street, where he faces challenges as an outsider who thinks and acts differently from the white-shoe establishment. Riding professional and personal highs and lows—like the stock market crash of 1974—he’ll have to learn to rebound, if he’s to survive . . . An intriguing look at human aspiration and the interplay of honor, greed, fear, and individuality, this novel reveals a time when a new generation upended the status quo on Wall Street and forever changed investing. “A rip-roaring yarn of baseball, poker, and Wall Street told with humor and humanity, and a loving rendering of Wharton in the seventies.” —Geoffrey Garrett, dean, The Wharton School “[An] absorbing story of an aspiring Wall Street trader.” —Kirkus Reviews

Book Description
In today’s fast-paced and often unpredictable work environment, a strong, cohesive team is the cornerstone of success. Whether you’re in a small start-up or a large corporation, the ability to work together effectively, with trust, collaboration, and shared goals, is essential for achieving long-term objectives. This is where team building comes into play. Team building isn’t just about gathering employees for a day of fun or team-building exercises; it’s about creating a culture of collaboration, mutual respect, and effective communication that permeates everything a team does. It’s about understanding the dynamics of a group, recognising each person’s strengths, and using that knowledge to achieve collective success. The impact of a well-built team goes far beyond increased productivity. A cohesive team fosters innovation, encourages problem-solving, and strengthens morale. Teams that are united are more adaptable to change, better equipped to handle challenges, and more likely to support each other during times of stress. This booklet aims to explore the various aspects of team building, from understanding team rôles and dynamics to implementing effective communication and conflict resolution strategies. It will also delve into the practical elements of team building, such as setting clear goals, sustaining motivation, and leveraging technology to enhance collaboration — particularly in remote and hybrid environments. Whether you’re a team leader, manager, or a team member, the concepts and strategies shared in this booklet will help you build and maintain a high-performing, resilient team. Through team-building activities, open dialogue, and a commitment to continuous improvement, teams can unlock their full potential and achieve results that exceed expectations. Let’s explore how you can create a stronger, more connected team that thrives in any environment.

Palpitations, sweaty palms, insomnia, bi-polar extremes...the love bug is quite the bitch. So is the inability to stay away when you know better. Call it weakness or stupidity, call it anything but wrong. Dormancy, remission, whatever, Dawn and Marvin hadn't come down with this ailment for the longest time. How'd they relapse? Who knows.

More factors were Dawn's nose for bad decisions, her hair of cascade, her wild soul, all that. That Renaissance body. Marvin's eye for all that. Also his passion for sculpture, his librarian-next-door-ness, and their back story coming to the front Let's see if they take proper precautions or embrace temptations like making that phone call, skinny dipping in the rain, throwing caution into the wind, and going that extra smile to forego all costs to remedy what ails them.
