"Like Any Other Woman speaks to the suffering that cancer causes, and to the profound human experience of renegotiating the physical and emotional balance between sickness and health when that balance is tipped by the onset of disease. A profound and moving collaboration between an artist and a young woman who has endured the impact of a cancer diagnosis and its consequences, this is not a book about the cancer itself, the medical world of causes, symptoms, interventions and treatment regimes. It is rather about what it feels like when all sense of normality, all the expectations of a future that accompany good health, suddenly become submerged in degrees of suffering that impact both on the individual and on the people who care for and about her.Like Any Other Woman is illustrated with original artwork by Jac Saorsa, taken from the Drawing Women’s Cancer project."

In this stunning new book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers"--the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful. He asks the question: what makes high-achievers different? His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing. Along the way he explains the secrets of software billionaires, what it takes to be a great soccer player, why Asians are good at math, and what made the Beatles the greatest rock band. Brilliant and entertaining, OUTLIERS is a landmark work that will simultaneously delight and illuminate.

In this new book, 'A Bull in a Glass House,' author Jose Astorga draws from a deep well of sharp observations, witty insight, and common sense to pass on his passion, experience, and truths learned in corporate hell. It's one ex-Marine's battle for sanity in the workplace and it reveals compelling truths, one of which includes: Life is too short to spend every day working in misery. Are Sunday evenings your personal threshold to hell? If so, read on. When Jose Astorga left the Marines for a steady stint in corporate America, he had no idea what he was in for. Management that valued the dollar and personal perks more than their own employees. Life-sucking corporate bureaucracy. And mindless projects that wasted time, effort, and money. Is it even possible to prepare for this? Now, it actually might be. Astorga's clever manifesto is a study on the human condition: Embrace change, value those you work with, and the three basic human needs - security, belonging, and respect - will be satisfied. Focusing on the executive versus employee chasm he lurked in during his 20-year-long career, Astorga's message is clear: Success originates not on an academic certificate, but from discipline, tenacity, loyalty, and adaptability. Written for those with little tolerance for waste, stupidity, shameless groveling, and inefficiency, A Bull in a Glass House is the ultimate manifesto for navigating the human, corporate condition. Praise for Bull in a Glass House: '...informed, insightful, and inspiring reading that is recommended for anyone in business...' -- Michael Dunford, 'Dunford's Bookshelf,' Midwest Book Review; '...a practical guide on how to live in that world, how to reframe that world, how to succeed in that world. No wasted words here...a quick read packed with insight.' -- Michael LaRocca, author and editor 'Current workplace leaders and people who see themselves as future leaders would especially benefit from reading this book.' -- Winningworkplaces.org : About José Astorga: In 1986, after three years in the Marines and a short stint as an armed guard, this former Marine secured a job in a growing company. He came armed with only a high school education and no skills, other than being an expert marksman in the Marines. His last 10 years in management provided an in-your-face, practical view of the paradox between corporate level expectations and behavior. 'A Bull in a Glass House' is the first in a series of books that will benefit the earnest reader.
