Permit me, lovely readers, to take you on a journey. Firstly though, wherever you are, it is important that you should be comfy. For example, if you are in bed, make sure there are no spiky pieces of Lego under your bum bum. That sort of thing simply won't do...Pippin's just an ordinary little girl who lives with her ordinary little granny in the ordinary little town of Funsprings. Or so she thinks. When some rather terrible goings on start occurring, Granny is forced to reveal a secret - she used to be a secret crime fighter! And on top of that, Pippin has a special gift - she is Shiny, and can talk to animals. Hurray! But life's not all fun times and lemonade and monster munch for tea. Not only has all the water gone, the animals are disappearing too. Someone as rotten as a pig fart in a jar must be behind all this, and it's up to Pippin to find out who. Armed with her new power and some new friends to boot, Pippin will confront kidnappers, evil scientists and would-be diamond thieves in this fantastic new series from Harry Heape (brilliantly illustrated by Rebecca Bagley too, you lucky things!).

This book is about developing 'inner game' skills of mindful awareness, heart attunement, embodiment, and resilience in order to play your best 'outer' game and lead within your company with courage and brilliance. Its practices teach us how to grow inner capacities that will push us to new heights and cope when things are roughest. Hauck, a leadership consultant, frequent presenter, and business school instructor at Stanford and Berkeley, interviewed a number of top 'conscious business' leaders for this book and highlights the inner tools they use for success. It is clear that the boldest and most innovator leaders honor and value qualities like presence, tolerance, compassion, and resilience, so that they can bring wisdom, grace, and courage into the workplace and the world. This is what Hauck calls stepping in and stepping up, and it is precisely the kind of leadership the world needs now. Through the practices offered in this book, Hauck shows leaders how to align their deepest values with their everyday work style and work goals and support this alignment in the people and teams they lead. In addition to the interviews conducted for this book, the author writes about her own original research on resilience, well-being, and authenticity in corporate culture as well as the work of others in this field.

It's a tough time to be a scientist: universities are shutting science departments, funding organisations are facing flat budgets, and many newspapers have dropped their science sections altogether. But according to Marc Kuchner, this anti-science climate doesn't have to equal a career death knell - it just means scientists have to be savvier about promoting their work and themselves. In "Marketing for Scientists", he provides clear, detailed advice about how to land a good job, win funding, and shape the public debate. As an astrophysicist at NASA, Kuchner knows that "marketing" can seem like a superficial distraction, whether your daily work is searching for new planets or seeking a cure for cancer. In fact, he argues, it's a critical component of the modern scientific endeavour, not only advancing personal careers but also society's knowledge. Kuchner approaches marketing as a science in itself. He translates theories about human interaction and sense of self into methods for building relationships - one of the most critical skills in any profession. And he explains how to brand yourself effectively - how to get articles published, give compelling presentations, use social media like Facebook and Twitter, and impress potential employers and funders. Like any good scientist, Kuchner bases his conclusions on years of study and experimentation. In "Marketing for Scientists", he distills the strategies needed to keep pace in a Web 2.0 world.
