Fiction

Prometheus the strongman winds up behind bars and it falls to ringmaster and
master conjuror Cornelius Quaint, ably assisted by his Eskimo valet Butter, to
investigate the killings and to clear his name. But Quaint, an irresistable mix
of Sherlock Holmes and Harry Houdini, soon finds that these seemingly random
killings are actually linked to dark secrets from his own past. Secrets that he
may not be prepared to face. The Equivoque Principle is a fantastic adventure
inspired by the penny dreadfuls and newspaper serials of the Victorian age and
the first in a great new series.

Remember the twin golden rules of hitchhiking? # 1: Don-t go hitchhiking,
because the driver who picks you up could be certifiably crazy. # 2: Don-t pick
up hitchhikers, because the traveler you pick up could be raving nutcase. So
what if, on some dark, isolated road, Crazy #1 offered a ride to Nutcase #2?
When two of the most twisted minds in the world of horror fiction face off, the
result is SERIAL, a terrifying tale of hitchhiking gone terribly wrong. Like a
deeply twisted version of an -After School Special,- SERIAL is the single most
persuasive public service announcement on the hazards of free car rides. Beyond
a thrilling piece of horrifying suspense, SERIAL is also a groundbreaking
experiment in literary collaboration. Kilborn wrote the first part. Crouch wrote
the second. And they wrote the third together over email in 100-word exchanges,
not aware of each other-s opening section. All bets were off, and may the best
psycho win.

Five years is not a long time to evaluate the diffusion of an idea; much less
its impact on the ground. It has been less than five years since the book The
Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid: Eradicating Poverty Through Profits was
published. The first article on the subject appeared in 2002. At the time, the
proposition that the private sector had a critical role to play in alleviating
global poverty was generally met with skepticism. The idea that they could have
the greatest impact through creating profitable businesses serving the 5 billion
people who represented the “invisible, unserved market” was even more radical. I
am profoundly grateful for the people in government, nongovernmental
organizations, and large corporations who were willing to listen and experiment.
The poor, of course, have long been hungry for change. Their enthusiasm and
insights have been a huge inspiration to me.   We are a long way from solving
the problem of global poverty. But I find reason to be optimistic that the
conditions for creating significant and sustainable change are emerging rapidly.
First, the idea that the private sector can and should be involved in creating
market-based solutions for the world’s poorest consumers is gaining credibility.
The market success of some multinationals that have taken up the challenge has
created momentum. Respected business leaders such as Bill Gates championing the
cause of creative capitalism has also contributed to a shift in perception.

Most Christians know John Newton as a man who once captained a slave ship, was
dramatically converted to Christ on the high seas, and later penned one of the
greatest hymns of the faith, "Amazing Grace." But he also had a huge impact on
his times as an icon of the evangelical movement, as a great preacher and
theologian, and as a seminal influence on abolitionist William Wilberforce.
Newton's friendship with Wilberforce is portrayed in the major motion
picture Amazing Grace. Jonathan Aitken's new biography John Newton explores all
these facets of Newton's life and character. It is the first biography to draw
on Newton's unpublished diaries and correspondence, providing fresh insight into
the life of this complex and memorable Christian. The result is a fascinating,
colorful, and historically significant portrait of John Newton, a self-described
"great sinner" redeemed by a great Savior through amazing grace.

Labor and delivery nurse Kropp was troubled when she recognized several years
back that women coming into the hospital to give birth were both ill-prepared
and more anxious than ever. These women had read all the latest books and had
taken classes, but with so much information available they were trusting writers
and 'experts' more than they trusted themselves. Kropp found that the humor and
joy of pregnancy had been lost, and set out to help remedy the situation. Her
book is a refreshing mix of medical information and helpful, nonjudgmental
advice, which urges readers to inform themselves but also to relax and enjoy the
special time and anticipation of pregnancy. Each chapter explains what's
happening to your body (increased hormone levels) and your baby (its size and
development) each month. Kropp covers topics like weight gain, which medications
are safe to take, bed rest and genetic testing. Also included is a practical
monthly rundown of what you can do to prepare for your baby's arrival (register
at your hospital, choose a pediatrician, etc.) and a list of necessary products,
furniture, clothing and gear. Years of experience working with pregnant women
gives Kropp a reassuring voice, and her book is sure to leave readers feeling
more prepared—and less frightened—about the journey of pregnancy.

When the economy turns rough, many companies sideline their green business
initiatives, but that's a big mistake. Green initiatives actually are a great
way to cut costs precisely because these initiatives are all about ratcheting up
your company's resource efficiency. They save energy, waste, and money,
preserving precious capital–and give precise focus to your innovation efforts
and strategic priorities. They can also help you position your organization for
the recovery, boosting creativity and employee motivation for long-term
strategic growth. As part of the author's larger work in the forthcoming
book Green Recovery, this free special report shows the overarching logic of a
plan to implement green initiatives for both short- and long-term gains, and
then focuses in on the actions companies need to implement immediately to get
lean quickly. From changing light bulbs to tweaking distribution routes and
innovating recycling patterns, Winston selects just the ideas that will bring
you a return on investment quickly and get you leaner faster.

 
The rising importance of networks creates challenges and opportunities for
business enterprises. On the one hand, networks lead to contagion and other
risks, as seen in the spread of the 2008 global financial crisis. On the other
hand, networks present opportunities for building community, as in the rapid
rise of companies such as eBay, Google, Facebook, and other network-based
enterprises. In this chapter, the authors point out that network-based models
for business challenge the traditional view of capabilities and strategies that
are the focus of most management thinking, making it clear that the
opportunities and threats presented by networks cannot be ignored.
