    A fascinating tour of creatures from the surface to the deepest ocean floor: this "miraculous, transcendental book" invites us to envision wilder, grander, and more abundant possibilities for the way we live (Ed Yong, author of An Immense World). A queer, mixed race writer working in a largely white, male field, science and conservation journalist Sabrina Imbler has always been drawn to the mystery of life in the sea, and particularly to creatures living in hostile or remote environments. Each essay in their debut collection profiles one such creature, including:     ·the mother octopus who starves herself while watching over her eggs,     ·the Chinese sturgeon whose migration route has been decimated by pollution and dams,     ·the bizarre, predatory Bobbitt worm (named after Lorena),     ·the common goldfish that flourishes in the wild,     ·and more.  Imbler discovers that some of the most radical models of family, community, and care can be found in the sea, from gelatinous chains that are both individual organisms and colonies of clones to deep-sea crabs that have no need for the sun, nourished instead by the chemicals and heat throbbing from the core of the Earth. Exploring themes of adaptation, survival, sexuality, and care, and weaving the wonders of marine biology with stories of their own family, relationships, and coming of age, How Far the Light Reaches is a shimmering, otherworldly debut that attunes us to new visions of our world and its miracles.    WINNER OF THE LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE in SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY  Finalist for the Lambda Literary Award One of TIME’s 10 Best Nonfiction Books of the Year •  A PEOPLE Best New Book  •  A Barnes & Noble and SHELF AWARENESS Best Book of 2022  •  An Indie Next Pick  •  One of Winter’s Most Eagerly Anticipated Books: VANITY FAIR, VULTURE, BOOKRIOT

    "Lean Leadership and Management: A Practical Guide to Streamlining Success" serves as a comprehensive manual for leaders looking to implement lean principles in their organizations effectively. This guide breaks down the theoretical underpinnings of lean methodologies into actionable strategies, demonstrating how leaders can cultivate environments that embrace continuous improvement, efficiency, and customer-centricity. 
The book starts with a deep dive into the fundamentals of lean thinking, explaining the core principles such as value stream mapping, waste elimination, and the continuous improvement process known as Kaizen. It emphasizes how these principles are not just tools but part of a broader philosophical approach to management that requires a change in mindset from top leadership levels down to frontline employees. 
One of the standout features of the guide is its focus on the role of leadership in lean transformations. It argues that successful lean implementation is less about the tools and techniques and more about the behavior and commitment of the leaders. The book presents the traits of effective lean leaders—such as humility, curiosity, and empathy—and illustrates how these qualities are crucial in fostering a culture that is open to change and continuous improvement. 
Practical case studies are scattered throughout the text, providing real-world examples of challenges and solutions in implementing lean strategies. These case studies help bridge the gap between theory and practice, showing readers how various concepts can be applied in different organizational contexts. Additionally, the guide includes templates and checklists to help leaders assess their current practices, plan lean initiatives, and measure their progress over time.

    HowExpert Guide to Phlebotomy is a glimpse into the life of being a phlebotomist in a private clinic, hospital, or plasma plant. It includes an in-depth description of the types of patients we see, the equipment we use, and how to perform blood draws. The most important part of our profession is drawing blood by inflicting the least amount of pain possible for the patient. This means that you need to be educated on the procedures for specific tests such as a Heparin Quant Assay, a PTINR, and Lipid Panels. If you don’t know these tests, odds are they will need to be redrawn, and the patient will have to undergo an unnecessary procedure. This is a safety problem since every time we puncture the skin of a patient, we risk introducing infection into their bloodstream. This book will also teach you about the order of draw, descriptions of veins, descriptions of patients, and a multitude of different scenarios. If you are beginning a career or are interested in beginning a career in phlebotomy, this book will give you a good foundation of knowledge to build upon with tangible experience.
