【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Being Present Commanding Attention at Work (and at Home) by Managing Your Social Presence【電子書籍】[ Jeanine W. Turner ]

＜p＞Gold Medal ? Networking, Social Media, and Communication ? Axiom Business Book Awards, 2022＜br /＞ JP Morgan Summer Reading List 2022＜/p＞ ＜p＞Survival strategies for communicating in a notification-saturated world＜/p＞ ＜p＞As our ability to pay attention in a world of distractions vanishes, it’s no wonder that our ability to be heard and understoodーto convey our messagesーis also threatened. Whether working with our teams and customers or communicating with our families and friends, it is increasingly difficult to break through the digital devices that get in the way of communication. And the ubiquity of digital devices means that we are often “multicommunicating,” participating in multiple conversations at once. As a result, our ability to be socially present with an audience requires an intentional approach.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This increased strain on attention has never been more clear than during the global pandemic, when our homes suddenly accommodated both work and family life. What are our options when facing professional communications at all hours? Do we ask for the technology to be put away at the dinner table? Establish other ground rules? What about using digital communications to our advantageーhow can we facilitate information-sharing in the midst of a world where we are overwhelmed with content?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Drawing from fifteen years of research, interviews, and experience from teaching students and executives, Jeanine W. Turner offers a framework to navigate social presence at work and at home. By exploring four primary communication choicesーbudgeted, entitled, competitive, and invitationalーTurner shows when and where to employ each strategy to most effectively allocate our attention and command the attention of others. Each chapter includes concrete strategies and concludes with reflection questions and exercises to help readers further explore these decisions in professional and personal relationships.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Fox World 500 Miles of Walks and Talks with an Old Fox【電子書籍】[ Jack Russell ]

＜p＞Fox World, based on true events, takes the reader under the canopy of an urban forest on the outskirts of Washington, D.C. for a year-long walk with a weary sales executive and his muse, a wild red fox. Aged, ill and injured, both fox and man seek healing in their journey, not only for themselves, but for the ecologically stressed forest which is under siege. They are joined on their five-hundred-mile walkabout by the fox’s forest friends ? owl, buck deer, hawk, blue heron, and raccoon, and each animal’s story illustrates why this small forest is so soothing and majestic in its allure. Starting in brutally cold winter, followed by the wettest summer on record, fox and man face daunting life challenges on their walks, from heart arrhythmia which ends the executive’s career to a coyote attack and critical illnesses faced by the elderly fox. And through these traumatic events, the two bond for survival, and the fox’s wild perspective teaches his human friend unforgettable lessons about healing, coping, serenity, wonderment, mindfulness, and simple treasures (e.g., the sun setting atop the great oaks, an owl serenade under moon beams, a shared cup of bison bone broth on an icy day). Drawn in by the plight of the fox’s forest as destruction looms, the man decides to take a stand and help the fox and his animal friends. Richly graced with gorgeous nature photos and infused with insights that can only be imparted by those who have come to genuinely appreciate life, Fox World is an exhilarating walk in the woods that you’ll never forget.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞＜em＞New York Times＜/em＞ bestselling author William Alexander takes readers on a surprisingly twisty journey through the history of the beloved tomato in this fascinating and erudite microhistory.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞The tomato gets no respect. Never has. Stored in the dustbin of history for centuries, accused of being vile and poisonous, appropriated as wartime propaganda, subjected to being picked hard-green and gassed, even used as a projectile, the poor tomato is the Rodney Dangerfield of foods. Yet, the tomato is the most popular vegetable in America (and, in fact, the world). It holds a place in America's soul like no other vegetable, and few other foods. Each summer, tomato festivals crop up across the country; John Denver had a hit single titled "homegrown Tomatoes;" and the Heinz tomato ketchup bottle, instantly recognizable, is in the Smithsonian.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Author William Alexander is on a mission to get tomatoes the respect they deserve. Supported by meticulous research but told in a lively, accessible voice, ＜em＞Ten Tomatoes that Changed the World＜/em＞ will seamlessly weave travel, history, humor, and a little adventure (and misadventure) to follow the tomato's trail through history. A fascinating story complete with heroes, con artists, conquistadors and, no surprise, the Mafia, this book is a mouth-watering, informative, and entertaining guide to the good that has captured our hearts for generations.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Wolfberry Chronicle【電子書籍】[ Gregory Berkhouse ]

＜p＞Since its start in 1969, the family-owned Henry company had been viewed by the Permian Basin oil community as "a little ol' Spraberry driller," reliable and determined but quaintly plodding.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But in summer 2003, the company inconspicuously drilled two wells on picked-over acreage and quietly deployed an experimental "slickwater" frac. Both wells roared to life at high producing rates, and Henry hushed the results and launched a covert land grab ringing the entire basin.＜/p＞ ＜p＞When reports of their success finally leaked, scores of other operators scrambled into the fray, mustering hundreds of rigs, leasing thousands of acres and eventually producing millions of barrels of oil. Within a decade, the "Wolfberry play" catapulted the Permian Basin to the top of the global oil chart as the vertical program turned sideways into the hot horizontal shale play of today.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Wolfberry Chronicle tells the Henry tale, from the company's obscure beginning through its maturing into a stalwart operator, then striking the Wolfberry motherlode before segueing into horizontal expertise. The requisite components are all thereーwild wells, big wealth and colorful charactersーbut also an element of much greater moment: uncommon goodwill.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Gregory Berkhouse＜/strong＞ has worked in the petroleum industry as both a geologist and an engineer for 35 years, spending the last two decades with Henry. He relays firsthand accounts and personal acquaintances with insight, style and wit, and provides technical explanationsーboth accurate and accessibleーof the geology, hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling essential to Henry's Permian Basin epic.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Praise for The Wolfberry Chronicle＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞"With more moral sense, humility, precision, breadth, and good laughs and good writing than most things you'll read, The Wolfberry Chronicle is not just the history of a company but a history of people, decisions, fortitude, generosity, and the small steps that made Henry Petroleum the pioneer of one of the most important developments in American energy history."＜/p＞ ＜p＞- Gary Sernovitz, author of ＜em＞The Green and the Black＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Such an entertaining read! "The Wolfberry Chronicle" takes the reader from Jim Henry's start as a young petroleum engineer faced with a crossroads to his tremendous successes through diligent, honest work. Along the way, Jim and Paula loved the people on their team and wanted them to prosper with them. My husband Clayton and I knew Jim and respected him for his work ethic, his moral compass and his successes over the years. This book reminds me so much of Clayton's early days of getting started.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Law, Climate Emergency and the Australian Megafires【電子書籍】[ Nicole Rogers ]

＜p＞This book addresses the ways in which the Black Summer megafires influenced the development of climate narratives throughout 2020. It analyses the global pandemic, and its ensuing restrictions, as a countervailing force in the production of such narratives.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Lives and properties were lost in the spring and summer of 2019 and 2020, when catastrophic bushfires burnt through millions of hectares of mainland Australia. Nearly 3 billion native animals died. And for millions of Australians, and others worldwide, it was through the Australian megafires that the global climate emergency became tangible and concrete, no longer a comfortably deferred, albeit problematic abstraction which could be consigned to future generations to deal with. This book explores the legal and other implications of new understandings of climate emergency arising from the fires, and the emergence of a hierarchy of emergencies as the pandemic came to dominate global and domestic political discourses. It examines narratives of culpability, and legal avenues for seeking retribution from government and big fossil fuel emitters. It also considers the impact of the fires on the burgeoning phenomenon of climate activism, particularly in Australia, and the ways in which pandemic restrictions curtailed such activism. Finally, the book reflects on the fires through the lenses offered by climate fiction, and apocalyptic fiction more generally, in order to consider how these shape, and might shape, our responses to them.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This important and timely book will appeal to environmental lawyers and socio-legal theorists; as well as other scholars and activists with interests in climate change and its impact. It is recommended for anyone concerned about current and future climate disasters, and the shortcomings in legal, political and popular responses to the climate crisis.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞Have you ever wondered how property is valued or what is the real worth of the house you bought last summer? Should you care about it? Knowing the value of a property helps you to make affirmative decisions. Come along and dive in the world of valuation with us.＜/strong＞＜br /＞ Valuation existed, since early days when the Barter system existed back then the concept of money was not yet invented, People use to exchange goods or services in return for other goods and services. Valuing things is also a day-to-day activity in one’s life, for example if you want to buy a used cell phone, you evaluate the pricing of it whether its overpriced or a steal deal. Likewise, valuing asset is also important. Knowing the value/worth of an asset is required for decision making like choosing investment in a property, deciding on the proper price to receive or pay in a making investment or takeover of an asset. Valuation gives a reasonable estimate value of all kinds of assets that may be real or financial assets.＜br /＞ Over the past years various methods have surfaced like comparable methods, residual methods, income methods, cost methods, etc. The difficulty in valuation and detail varies from asset to assets, but the core principle remains the same.＜br /＞ In this book we are going to focus on various standards of valuations followed. This book will be leaned more towards valuation of immovable property and their methods like cost approach, income approach, market approach, belting methods and zoning methods. We are also going to focus on specific asset class like residential, commercial, hotel and many more.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Holiday Hunger in the UK Local Responses to Childhood Food Insecurity【電子書籍】[ Michael A. Long ]

＜p＞This timely and much-needed book focuses on the phenomenon often referred to as "holiday hunger" in the United Kingdom.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The book begins by outlining the history and scope of holiday hunger ? the condition that occurs when a child’s household is, or will become, food insecure during the summer holidays. The decline of the UK welfare state and the rise of neoliberalism have created a situation where up to three million children in the UK face food insecurity during the summer months when there are extra financial pressures on the working poor and when free school meals are not available. This book details the level of childhood and household food insecurity in the UK and describes one of the main responses to holiday hunger ? holiday clubs. These clubs are locally organised and funded and provide a place for children to go to eat nutritious meals for free during the school holidays. Highlighting the benefits of holiday clubs that often extend beyond food provision, this book also discusses the challenges that they face now and in the future. The book concludes with recommendations for food insecurity policy and the role of government in fighting holiday hunger.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of food and nutrition security, social policy and public health.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

This incident has ended her career as a Sprinter.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The narration details not only the events that took place leading to the Senior Olympics and beyond but also the small and big things she did to overcome her monster and reclaim her life.

＜p＞Many students have the opportunity to go abroad at some point of their course but often think of it as a utopic experience that you just dream of but that you’ll actually never experience since it takes forever before they can actually go. Then, they open their eyes the next day and are on their way to the airport to finally go live abroad and live the experience of their life or at least that is what they heard.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Viewed from the outside , everything sounds so amazing : a new place, a new home, new friends and above all, total freedom. However, some time before the departure day, they start the countdown and realizing that they are not as ready as they expected even though they had months ahead of them to prepare. Suddenly, so many questions pop into their minds and panic arises : “What if I end up being lonely ? What if I do not manage to adapt to the new environment ? What if I am not ready yet ? What if I run out of money ? What if I do not manage to understand and be understood by people ? What if I miss my life back home ?” Does all of this sound all familiar to you ?＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the summer of 2020, I was in your shoes and went to an exchange program in South Korea during the coronavirus pandemic. I started to freak out one month before my departure and realizing what I actually dragged myself into. Until I went, it just felt like some documents on the computer but soon enough , I was about to leave everything I knew and go live in a foreign land 9000 km far away from my home. My initial plan was to come back in France in December and I was looking forward to come back even before I stepped in my new country. However, I managed to create the most amazing experience for myself and stayed two more full months without the intention to ever go back.＜/p＞ ＜p＞During my time abroad, I made friends from all over the world, learnt to speak new languages, discovered new ways of living but above everything else, I connected with myself like I never did. This experience was so eye-opening that it lead me to prepare for living abroad again in the future. By writing this little book, I want to help other future exchange students who may have the same concerns as I did by sharing them the tips I learnt the hard way during my stay. With all the time I had to reflect on why my experience was so incredible, I came up with the 12 rules I lived by.＜/p＞ ＜p＞I wish someone told me those before I went so I could have spent my time more wisely. All the advices I am sharing here are related to what I experienced during my stay and made me have the most incredible time I ever had. These tips are based on my personal experience so what worked for me might not be the best thing for you and you should apply the ones you think will be the most relevant to your exchange program personal goals.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Just Living came about following Rose Berger's invitation for me to become a contributing editor for Sojourners Magazine, writing 26 essays over the course of the early spring and mid-summer of 2019 for "Living the Word," a lectionary-based Bible study combining biblical exegesis with social justice commentary. Before things were underway, Rose heavily stressed that I put my best thoughts forward. Just Living is organized into six parts. Each part consists of a themed introduction paired with a set of four to five meditations. Of special note, the biblical exposition done for each meditation could center on one or several from the set of Scripture readings assigned for the week. Concluding each meditation is a short prayer and discussion questions for further reflection.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Innovation in Real Places Strategies for Prosperity in an Unforgiving World【電子書籍】[ Dan Breznitz ]

＜p＞Winner of Balsillie Prize for Public Policy Winner of Donner Prize A Summer Book of 2021, ＜em＞Financial Times＜/em＞ Longlisted ＜em＞Financial Times＜/em＞ and McKinsey Best Business Book of the Year A challenge to prevailing ideas about innovation and a guide to identifying the best growth strategy for your community. Across the world, cities and regions have wasted trillions of dollars on blindly copying the Silicon Valley model of growth creation. Since the early years of the information age, we've been told that economic growth derives from harnessing technological innovation. To do this, places must create good education systems, partner with local research universities, and attract innovative hi-tech firms. We have lived with this system for decades, and the result is clear: a small number of regions and cities at the top of the high-tech industry but many more fighting a losing battle to retain economic dynamism. But are there other models that don't rely on a flourishing high-tech industry? In ＜em＞Innovation in Real Places＜/em＞, Dan Breznitz argues that there are. The purveyors of the dominant ideas on innovation have a feeble understanding of the big picture on global production and innovation. They conflate innovation with invention and suffer from techno-fetishism. In their devotion to start-ups, they refuse to admit that the real obstacle to growth for most cities is the overwhelming power of the real hubs, which siphon up vast amounts of talent and money. Communities waste time, money, and energy pursuing this road to nowhere. Breznitz proposes that communities instead focus on where they fit in the four stages in the global production process. Some are at the highest end, and that is where the Clevelands, Sheffields, and Baltimores are being pushed toward. But that is bad advice. Success lies in understanding the changed structure of the global system of production and then using those insights to enable communities to recognize their own advantages, which in turn allows to them to foster surprising forms of specialized innovation. As he stresses, all localities have certain advantages relative to at least one stage of the global production process, and the trick is in recognizing it. Leaders might think the answer lies in high-tech or high-end manufacturing, but more often than not, they're wrong. ＜em＞Innovation in Real Places＜/em＞ is an essential corrective to a mythology of innovation and growth that too many places have bought into in recent years. Best of all, it has the potential to prod local leaders into pursuing realistic and regionally appropriate models for growth and innovation.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Fight for My Nephew’s Life with Spina Bifida【電子書籍】[ Susan A. Akok MPH ]

＜p＞When my nephew was diagnosed with Spina Bifida at birth in Nairobi, Kenya, his loving parents knew little to almost nothing about this mysterious ailment. This lack of the underlying condition made it difficult for them or other close family members to seek specialized care, rendering any early interventions out of question and dimmed his future treatments. Innocently, his parents assumed that the condition that he has would disappear or get treated with passing months or even years. Things did not improve and that led them to inform other family members, including myself, their beloved sister. Upon hearing that the boy’s health was not progressing as expected, I decided to visit Nairobi and made firsthand observations. I was convinced beyond doubt that moving Little Deng to the US would be best. The prospect that he could have face severe challenges, even death, was both tormenting and motivating. Thanks God that him and his father both flew into Salt Lake City, Utah, on December 22, 2014. His loving family, including grandmother, uncles and aunty were always ready to see his treatment through, with zeal and passion. Treatments meant conducting catheterization by inserting a small tube into his private area four times, every four hours per day, administrating medication twice per day for bladder control infection, watching for hydrocephalus - shunt malfunctions almost every day because it could lead to death if not properly caught on time, checking braces on his feet for any skin redness, adjusting walker and wheelchair, even carrying him around when he struggled, countless Emergency Room (RM) visits, long hours every six months visit to Spina Bifida Clinic, attending constant Physical and Occupation therapist twice per week, and performing bowl movement program every day, every evening. Little Deng is a blessing to me and our family. As a first-time caregiver, when Little Deng is out for school and other activities, I would be stressed and depressed throughout the day given his condition and how he may do outside there. He is a stronger boy, considering what he faces. While facing all the challenges, Little Deng is a fighter. He survived spina bifida without any support and hearing from his biological mother for the last six years following his treatments in Utah. This has led him to travel back to Nairobi, Kenya, for family visit and met with his family, especially his two siblings who were born after he has been relocated to Utah. He is also a determined boy and who dreams big against all odds. Although Little Deng knew he might not physically walk, he has a big dream of becoming an NBA star and be the next Donavan Mitchell. This passion brought him to the Utah Jazz Arena where he met face-to-face with Donavan. Received his shoes and got interviewed on NBA All Star. He was enrolled in a Utah Jazz Jr. Wheelchair basketball and summer adaptive program at the Recreation Adoptive Center located in Midvale, Utah. The journey has just begun but fears and worries remind the same. All the same, Little Deng was and remains blessing to our family here in Salt Lake City and in Africa where his biological parents reside.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
