Pages : 324
Book Description
A thousand years from now, Earth is a disaster. The surface is nearly unlivable outside of domed cities, with the more well-off living in stations and colonies in space. The task of reclaiming Earth is long and hard, even with the available technology. But now an alien armada has arrived to test human society in a game that will decide whether they join interstellar society or are destroyed for the good of the galaxy. The problem is that no one on Earth has played any sports games in centuries. Fortunately, there is an experimental time travel machine that may allow them to bring forth some sports figures from Earth's past to play the alien game, a game with a few similarities to basketball. A fault in the machine, however, only allows one notable sports figure and his companions to be brought forth, snatched moments before their reported deaths in a helicopter crash. Now it's up to Kobe Bryant to play the game of his life and save the world and all of humankind.

The Blue Horse
Author: Philip Miller
Publisher: Cargo Publishing
ISBN: 1910449059
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
Recently bereaved, George Newhouse, is an art historian and newly appointed curator at the National Gallery who becomes increasingly obsessed with a lost minor Dutch masterpiece, The Blue Horse by Van Doelenstraat. The painting’s provenance is disputed and many doubt its existence at all. But Newhouse has uncovered a letter by Rembrandt where the master states, ‘That damned painting vexes my mind’s eye’. As Newhouse struggles with his grief, his grip of reality slowly loosening, he embarks on surreal journey of loss and self-discovery, fuelled by alcohol, drugs and self-destructive behaviour. As the lines between reality and imagination blur, will George lose himself in his obsession or return from the brink of destruction in time? Highly atmospheric and exploiting many of the tropes of art appreciation, this is a compelling literary noir and remarkable debut by one of Scotland’s leading art correspondents. ‘There were times in Philip Miller’s The Blue Horse when I had to look away from the twilight art world his lyrical prose so effectively eviscerates. There is a tremendous sense of darkness here. And yet his strength as a storyteller, his ability to create multiple narratives of greed and grief; of blurred desire, pulled me back. There is an intoxication about this writing, a narcotic lure to its descriptions of ambition and decline but it never strays far from the simple art of a good story well told.’Toni Davidson, author of Scar Culture and My Gun Was As Tall As Me ‘I was disturbed... interesting and convincing’ Alasdair Gray

Book Description
LITTLE BLUE PENGUINS & OTHER STORIES FOR THE TRANSITION TO LEADERSHIP “Strengths can become weaknesses and turn on you when you least expect it.” Dr. Richard Z. Gooding The skills that made you a star performer can get in the way and prevent you from becoming an effective leader. The key to making this transition is to first recognize the skills of leadership as different and separate from being a good employee. Secondly, to make this transition you have to begin to practice and develop this different skill set. This book lays out a model of the general skills including teamwork, goal setting, and challenge; a leader needs to exercise to be effective. The leadership model in this book is explained through a series of short stories. At the end of each tale there are a series of questions to help the reader draw out how it relates and how to begin applying the lessons immediately. PRAISE FOR THE BOOK: I just finished reading the Little Blue Penguins book and found it both helpful and entertaining. The vignettes were easy to read and extremely useful in making you think about leadership issues/situations. It is written in such away that having a discussion will be very easy to do. A great little book that will make it a “must read” for my staff. - Peter A. Hofstetter, FACHE, CEO Northwestern Medical Center, St. Albans, VT
