Simon & Schuster Ltd Blockchain
Book SynopsisThe perfect book for everybody who's either never heard of Blockchain or simply wants to know more about the technology which is about to transform the world we live in for the better. What is blockchain? Why does everyone from tech experts to business moguls to philanthropists believe it is a paradigm-shifting technology, bound to revolutionize society as significantly as the internet? Indeed, why is blockchain touted as The Next Everything? In this deft, fascinating, and easy-to-digest introduction to one of the most important innovations of recent times, Stephen P. Williams answers these questions, revealing how cryptocurrencies like bitcoin are just one example among dozens of transformative applications that this relatively new technology makes possible. He interprets the complexity into digestible anecdotes, metaphors, and straightforward descriptions for readers who don’t know tech, and explains all of blockchain&rs

Simon & Schuster Ltd Ask for More
Book SynopsisNegotiation is a key skill for your job, your closest relationships, and even your everyday life, but often people shy away from it, feeling like they’re marching into battle or that they’re settling for less. Enter Alexandra Carter, Clinical Professor of Law and Director of the Mediation Program at Columbia University, NYC, who has taught students, business professionals and even the United Nations for more than a decade on this very topic. In Ask for More: Ten Questions to Improve Your Negotiations, Your Relationships and Your Life, Carter brings her breadth of knowledge to help anyone, regardless of their situation, ask for - and get - more. Rather than adhering to the popular narrative that only the loudest and most assertive among us get what they want, Carter invites readers to rethink negotiation entirely. Through asking open-ended questions rather than panicked ones, you’ll be better able to steer a convers

Simon & Schuster Ltd The Deadline Effect
Book Synopsis'I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.' So said author Douglas Adams - but what if there was a way of making deadlines work for you and using them to ensure others provide you with what you want when you want it? In Christopher Cox's brilliant new book, he looks at the impact deadlines have on us, and how we can use them to deliver the best results for all parties. Social scientists have revealed that most negotiations run right up to the deadline before a deal is finally struck. What they also discovered was that this deadline effect usually results in a worse deal for both parties. Cox shows you how, instead, the deadline effect can be used to bring about success not failure. The truth is that most of us think of deadlines all wrong. They aren’t immutable laws of nature; they are a game we can play - and win. This book will show you the strategies different workplaces have come up with to do just t

Simon & Schuster Ltd Pivot
Book SynopsisA stunning new insight into how the most crucial lesson you can learn in today’s challenging business environment is how to change the fundamentals of what you do, rather than carry on fighting a battle that is already lost. The near destruction of the music industry at the hands of online piracy and its subsequent recovery on the backs of digital streaming platforms is more than just the biggest story of disruption and reinvention of the digital age. It is also a trove of insights on how to confront the metamorphosis we are all facing in dealing with the Covid-19 era, as accelerating tech and economic changes reshape our work, our play and our very minds. Will Page, Spotify’s first chief economist, extrapolates music’s journey into eight guiding principles for pivoting through the ubiquitous disruption in nearly all industries. Expect the unexpected with transferable lessons coming from StarbucTrade Review'Tarzan Economics is a wild ride ... fun to read and full of business strategy take-aways - from Napster to Mark Twain's patents, Will Page writes with verve and deep insight.' -- Preston McAfee * Google Distinguished Scientist *'I loved this book - it's highly entertaining and full of brilliant factoids and nuggets. But, more importantly, it's got an important, well-presented and well-argued central thesis about the need for industries - and government - to make the technology leap, not just in how they do things, but how they measure things, too. It makes provoking connections...why museums should learn from the Atlanta Falcons; and how spectacularly wrong it is to measure the health of the economy on GDP.' -- Lord Vaizey of Didcot * Minister of State for Culture & the Digital Economy, 2010-16 *'As the chief economist at Spotify, Will Page didn’t just react to disruption - he anticipated it and helped to fuel it. His experience in the music industry is full of takeaways for riding waves of change instead of being bowled over by them.' -- Adam Grant * Bestselling author of Think Again and Originals *'Economics - the "dismal science" - is brought to life in Tarzan Economics. Rapid changes in technology and in mindset can turn a problem into a massive opportunity' -- Lord Darling * Chancellor of the Exchequer, 2007-10 *'The turbulent recent history of the [music] industry also provides a catchy soundtrack for other examples, from kitchen and household brand Tupperware’s early success in viral marketing to the 13th-century Rhine League’s cautionary tale for collectives, interspersed with anecdotes and song references. If this entertaining book doesn’t yet have a Spotify playlist, it certainly should do.' * Financial Times *‘Not just an engaging account of the recent economics of the music industry, but a treasure trove of general lessons in business economics.’ -- John Kay CBE * Fellow of St John's College, Oxford, and award-winning author of 'Radical Uncertainty' *'Entertaining and insightful...full of colourful examples' -- Linda Yueh, author of The Great Economists'This book carries lessons on two essential concepts in today’s world: the attention economy and the difference between builders and farmers. The takeaways are as relevant to running a large corporation as they are to starting your own business. A compelling and generous read.' -- Scott Galloway * Bestselling author of 'The Four' and 'Post Corona' *'"Welcome to the jungle," Tarzan! Will Page nailed it again. At Kobalt, we loved every time Will drew conclusions about the music industry and pointed to where it needed to go. Facts instead of fear. Here in his new book, he summarises complex changes into understandable concepts. You spend 20 years in school. Reading Will's book is a faster way to understand more, especially about yourself!' -- Willard Ahdritz * Founder & Chairman, Kobalt Music *'Deftly extrapolating from the music industry’s disruptions, Page urges us to look sceptically beyond face value. He guides us on how to pivot our thinking by identifying factors that point in a contrary direction - sometimes subtle, sometimes hiding in plain sight.' -- Mary Megan Peer * CEO of peermusic *'Excellent... Whether you are involved in a disrupted business or just interested in digital economics, Tarzan Economics is a terrific read, very nicely written, and with the economic analysis sweetened with plenty of examples.' -- Diane Coyle

Your best story is ''The Man With the Pigeon Tattoo''.A former colleague interviews President Trump. You urinate in the president of the Mothers'' Union''s garden. Your appearance as a hard-hitting columnist on a BBC talk show does not go well. And being photographed naked is only the second most humiliating thing to happen one infamous afternoon. There are serious stories, such as a mass shooting, a devastating flood, and the search for Madeleine McCann.Meanwhile local papers are dying.

At the time, nothing like Diwan existed in Cairo. Culture was languishing under government mismanagement, and books were considered a luxury, not a necessity. Over the next decade, these three women would contend with censors, chauvinists, critics, one another and many people who said they would never succeed in establishing Diwan as Cairo''s leading bookstore.Frank, fresh and very funny, Chronicles of a Cairo Bookseller is a portrait of a country hurtling toward a revolution, a feminist rallying cry, and an unapologetic crash course in running a business under the law of entropy. Above all, it is a celebration of the power of words to Trade Review'A moving portrait of Diwan and the Cairo that embraced it, an ode to all the people who have kept it going' * Harvard Review *'A unique memoir about career, life, love, friendship, motherhood, and the impossibility of succeeding at all of them at the same time.
