An unconventional approach to gaining the competitive advantage. All the War They Want presents counterintuitive problem-solving techniques using as its case in point one of the most existential threats to our national security and American way of life: cyber warfare. Informed by Jeffrey Engle's experience as a member of the U.S. military's elite special ops community, his Brazilian jiujitsu training, and his leadership of a premier cyber defense company, All the War They Want offers an alternative perspective on overcoming tough leadership challenges-a perspective previously only available to those bearing the scars of a lifetime at war. All the War They Want shows leaders what rules and conventions to break to stack the deck in their favor, giving them the competitive edge in business and in life. Rules to break include, among many others: • Never throw the first punch. • Do your research before you decide what you really want to do. • Leaders should treat everyone the same. • Always hire the candidate who best meets the qualification requirements. • Prepare for the zombie apocalypse, and you will be fine. • Leaders eat last. With Jeff Engle's guidance, leaders can learn to build an elite organization ready to meet the call in any battle

All Is Not LOST is the sad, funny, self-effacing yet soul-bearing story of what happened when one woman set aside a lifelong dream in favor of her kids, only to find herself battling her own ego and unfulfilled ambition. This is the memoir of former working actress Shannon Kenny Carbonell, and her own bittersweet account of the journey she undertook to reconcile her growing feelings of failure and the sudden loss of her identity. Shannon--wife of actor Nestor Carbonell of LOST, Bates Motel, and The Morning Show fame-- knew she was making the better choice for her, no matter how painful, when she decided on full-time motherhood over her career. But little did she know that shortly after her family moved to Oahu, Hawaii, while Nestor shot LOST, Shannon would find herself desperate to feed the part of her that was suddenly starved of creativity and accomplishment. Just like the LOST survivors, she had crashed on an island that would test her, heal her, and surround her with the people who would eventually show her the way home.

One of the most powerful images in the history of space exploration is of an astronaut in a spacesuit, untethered, and seemingly floating alone in an expanse of blue. Bruce McCandless II was the man in that spacesuit, and Wonders All Around is the thoroughly engrossing, extensively researched story of his inspiring life and groundbreaking accomplishments, told by his son, Bruce McCandless III, a gifted writer and storyteller. McCandless II became a Navy pilot and joined NASA in 1966. He was the capsule communicator in Houston-the person talking to the astronauts-as Armstrong made his leap for mankind. McCandless worked on and invented major systems and tools that would equip later astronauts, until he himself went memorably into space on the tenth shuttle mission. But the road to that incredible feat was not the sure bet it should have been for such a gifted man. Wonders All Around goes beyond a catalog of achievements, of which McCandless had many. It is also the story of science, perseverance, and devotion. Bruce McCandless II was with NASA 24 years, and this story encompasses the development of the space agency itself-the changes in focus, in personnel, in approach, and in the city of Houston that grew up with it. Recounted with thought and insight, this book is also about the relationship between father and son, men of two very different generations. Finally, it is an exploration of the mind-set of one unique man-and the determination, courage, and imagination-that took him and his country into their place in space history.

A Humancentric Approach to a Technological Innovation THIS IS NOT SIMPLY A BOOK ABOUT TECHNOLOGY. IT IS A BOOK ABOUT THE INCREASING ROLE HUMANITY MUST PLAY DURING THIS TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION IN ORDER TO THRIVE, NOT JUST SURVIVE. In The transHuman Code, authors Carlos Moreira and David Fergusson ask, "Are we building a better future for humanity with the help of magnificent technology or could we instead be building a future with better technology at the expense of humanity?" In proclaiming the obvious, that the human is and will always be the greatest and most advanced technology the world has ever known, the authors ask, "Doesn't it then make the most sense to place the understanding, improvement, and utilization of humanity as today's highest priority?" The transHuman Code is a book of conversations about how we employ the power of technology to script the best future possible. By introducing you to some of the world's most important innovators and dynamic developments occurring today, giving you a clearer understanding of their implications and then sparking the conversations that need to happen as a result, the hope is that together we will develop a transHuman code that will allow us to remain both the apex and axis of all technological progress from here forward. How we do this today is new territory. Dynamic innovative opportunities are here, or very near, for the taking. Which ones should we pursue and why? The transHuman Code introduces, through an address of the core elements of our life ecosystem, the discussions we must have. Together, both readers and contributors will form collective, proactive answers in this interactive process. You are invited to join Moreira and Fergusson, through this groundbreaking book, to begin this important work together.
