This lost classic coming-of-age tale is a tragicomic portrait of one young woman’s university breakdown and recovery, introduced by Daisy Johnson.I wanted the knack of existing. I did not know the rules ... I wanted to tell them all about the animals, but would they understand?A tea party at an Oxford college. Earnest undergraduates in floral dresses clink cups, discussing essay-crises, punting, summer balls. But to one student, they are grotesquely transformed: she is sitting among ominous armadillos with scaly shells, buzzing with black flies. Then, the laughter comes. As she is engulfed by mirthless hysterics, the Principal has no choice but to send her away.Josephine''s entrance into the world of other people wasn''t what she imagined. Since her mother''s death, reality seems a badly painted canvas, viewed through the wrong end of a telescope; she always thinks the wrong things, cowed by the brightness of existence. It is a relief to belong, for once, within the mental institution where she is taken. But eventually, she must reintegrate with society—and through a transformative encounter with a fellow patient, a return to real life seems possible ...Winner of the 1961 James Tait Black Prize

Too many of the most prominent management gurus today make steel-clad guarantees, based on claims of irrefutable research, promising to reveal the secrets of why one company fails and another succeeds, and how you can become the latter. Combining equal measures of solemn-faced hype and a whole body of delusions, statistical and otherwise, these self-styled experts cloud our ability to think critically about the nature of success in business. Like a virus, these fundamental errors of thinking infect much of what we read, whether in leading business magazines, scholarly journals, or management bestsellers. Central among these delusions is the Halo Effect, the tendency on the part of the experts to point to the high financial performance of a successful company and then spread its golden glow to all its attributes: clear strategy, strong values, brilliant leadership, and outstanding execution. But should the same company''s sales head south, the very same attributes are turned on their heads and derided for poor decision making across the board - suddenly the strategy was wrong, the culture was complacent, and the leader became arrogant.

Blending tenderness and intimacy, the poems in Hana Karolina Kobulejová's Moonlight by the Tamarisk are both innocently playful and ingeniously seductive. The main symbol for the collection is the tamarisk, an eternal tree whose bark is believed to be the source of the biblical heavenly manna. However, its purpose is not just ornamental. It also serves to nourish, boasting a system of deep roots that help strengthen the banks of rivers and sand dunes. Descriptions of this kind of solid resilience are characteristic of almost every poem in this collection. The author seeks out forms that provide warmth, channelling energies that encourage us to lift our emotional state and spread hidden wings. Reaching down for the moisture of groundwater, the tamarisk's roots supply the power of the spirit, but also our innate capacity to know ourselves again, to plumb our inner depths. In delicate counterpoint, the tiny leaves that form its airy crown seem to yearn for discoveries beyond, treasures of intensive emotion that can always be tapped. Marking a blessed creative beginning for the author, the esoteric unity of the tamarisk is the inspiration for this volume. Teasing out associations and betraying a discreet but engaging eroticism between the ... Unknown localization key: "more"

“Worth a read for anyone who cares about making change happen.”—Barack ObamaA powerful new blueprint for how governments and nonprofits can harness the power of digital technology to help solve the most serious problems of the twenty-first centuryAs the speed and complexity of the world increases, governments and nonprofit organizations need new ways to effectively tackle the critical challenges of our time—from pandemics and global warming to social media warfare. In Power to the Public, Tara Dawson McGuinness and Hana Schank describe a revolutionary new approach—public interest technology—that has the potential to transform the way governments and nonprofits around the world solve problems. Through inspiring stories about successful projects ranging from a texting service for teenagers in crisis to a streamlined foster care system, the authors show how public interest technology can make the delivery of services to the public more effective and efficient. At its heart, public interest technology means putting users at the center of the policymaking process, using data and metrics in a smart way, and running small experiments and pilot programs before scaling up. And while this approach may well involve the innovative use of digital technology, technology alone is no panacea—and some of the best ... Unknown localization key: "more"
