A Season on the Wind - Suzanne Woods Fisher

"A Season on the Wind overflows with warmth and conflict, laced with humor, and the possibility of rekindled love."--Amy Clipston, bestselling author of The Jam and Jelly NookBen Zook was as free as a bird--until a chase for a rare White-winged Tern takes him to the one place on earth he planned to never return: his Amish home in Stoney Ridge. Desperate for photographs of the elusive tern, Ben hires local field guide Micah Weaver, planning to "bag the bird" and leave Stoney Ridge before anyone recognizes him. But he neglected to plan for Micah''s sister, Penny. Ben had become Penny''s spark bird during one long-ago summer, when she had introduced him to birding, even sharing with him a hidden eagle aerie. Penny always hoped Ben would come back to Stoney Ridge. Back to his Amish roots. Back to her. The only problem? Ben has absolutely no memory of Penny."Fisher''s relatable characters bring to life the experience of birding as a passion, a career, an escape, and, most revealingly, a way of understanding life both in its patterns and its unpredictability."--Booklist

After a wonderful spell at Valencia, the Spaniard arrived to take over Liverpool''s famous Boot Room, determined to change the club''s fortunes and win over a disillusioned Kop. In just one season, Benitez''s importation of Spanish players, coaching methods and diet led to a revolution, usurping José Mourinho''s Chelsea to reach the European Champions League final in Istanbul.

The Princess Diarist - Carrie Fisher

When Carrie Fisher discovered the journals she kept during the filming of the first Star Wars movie, she was astonished to see what they had preserved - plaintive love poems, unbridled musings with youthful naivete, and a vulnerability that she barely recognized. Now her fame as an author, actress, and pop-culture icon is indisputable, but in 1977, Carrie Fisher was just a teenager with an all-consuming crush on her co-star, Harrison Ford. With these excerpts from her handwritten notebooks, The Princess Diarist is Fisher's intimate and revealing recollection of what happened on one of the most famous film sets of all time - and what developed behind the scenes. Fisher also ponders the joys and insanity of celebrity, and the absurdity of a life spawned by Hollywood royalty, only to be surpassed by her own outer-space royalty. Laugh-out-loud hilarious and endlessly quotable, The Princess Diarist brims with the candour and introspection of a diary while offering shrewd insight into the type of stardom that few will ever experience.

Battling the Wind and Waves on the Sea of Commerce is the last volume of the historical – love fiction trilogy, Sailing across the Red Storm Trilogy, of modern Chinese history. Through a riveting representation of the historical journey of the nation and the personal struggles of its characters, this trilogy describes the darkest and brightest pages in modern Chinese history; a harsh and lifeless winter, a warm spring filled with vitality and hope, and a flourishing hot summer. In Volume 1, Sailing across the Red Storm, the main character experiences the catastrophe of the Cultural Revelation; in Volume 2, Floating and Sinking on the Sea of Officialdom, he enters into the political arena and carries out political and economic reforms. In this volume, he becomes a businessman, participating in market competition and bravely fighting against corrupt officials and profiteers. Readers will be able to witness how China creates an economic miracle over the course of 30 years after the 1980s and becomes the second largest economic power in the world, in spite of the various social issues that the country still suffers from. Like the first two volumes, this book is a compelling historical fiction with a moving love ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Take a Walk with the Wind - Chloe Garcia Roberts, Xiong Liang

A spirited tale of a small, mythical being who wanders off with the wind – inspired by ancient Chinese poetry and rendered in exquisite silk paintings.Inspired by a classical Chinese poem by Song Yu, Take a Walk With the Wind dives into the world of the treelings, tiny beings that live in China’s ancient mountain forests. If a primeval forest is left alone and not damaged or disturbed for at least several hundred years, it will spontaneously create one of these tiny, special beings. In this wondrous story of one such creature, Xiong brings a puff of wind to life, sending the treeling’s little tangerine cap dancing through the air. Together, the treeling and the wind venture into a dark cave and visit a quiet lake, but the wind makes mischief wherever they go. Xiong is an ink wash artist, writer, and pioneering Chinese illustrator. With soft brushwork on rustling silk paper, Xiong expresses the joys and surprises of new encounters. Those who love Studio Ghibli, Tolkien’s Hobbits, and mythical worlds that combine nature and fantasy, will discover a new, classic tale in Take a Walk With the Wind.

The Collective Edge - Colin M. Fisher

The definitive guide to the surprising science of group dynamics, and the ultimate resource for building high-performing teams, communities, and organisations ‘Essential reading for creators, builders, and leaders’DANIEL H. PINK, author of Drive ‘A deep dive into the dynamics of successful teams''ADAM GRANT, author of Think Again Our lives are full of groups, and they’re not easy. Families are complex, workplaces are challenging – and yet these dynamics shape us. So how can we avoid the common pitfalls of living and working together and get the most from our groups? The solution isn’t to change individuals: it’s to think about the collective.

Through case studies that include billion-dollar companies, boutique design firms and great sports teams, Fisher reveals how to compete without dysfunctional conflict, why conformity pressure can sometimes be positive, and why effective group leadership often comes down to structure and organization instead of motivational speeches.The secret to getting the most from your groups is knowing how to work with the invisible forces of group dynamics instead of being ...

The Urge - Carl Erik Fisher

As a psychiatrist-in-training fresh from medical school, Carl Erik Fisher came face to face with his own addiction crisis, one that nearly cost him everything. Here, he investigates the history of this age-old condition. Humans have struggled to define, treat, and control addictive behaviour for most of recorded history, including well before the advent of modern science and medicine. The Urge is a rich, sweeping history that probes not only medicine and science but also literature, religion, philosophy, and sociology, illuminating the extent to which the story of addiction has persistently reflected broader questions of what it means to be human and care for one another. Fisher introduces us to the people who have endeavoured to address this complex condition through the ages: physicians and politicians, activists and artists, researchers and writers, and of course the legions of people who have struggled with their own addictions. He also examines the treatments and strategies that have produced hope and relief. The Urge is at once an eye-opening history of ideas, a riveting personal story of addiction and recovery, and a clinician’s urgent call for a more expansive, nuanced, and compassionate view of one of society’s most intractable challenges.

Few can read it and not be deeply moved.Despite writing some of the most beloved and enduring children''s books of all time - The Snowman, Father Christmas and Fungus the Bogeyman - When the Wind Blows is very much a story for adults.
