    ‘Haunting.’ Jonathan Freedland‘Powerful.’ Daniel Finkelstein 
    The profoundly moving and deeply intimate story of one Jewish family’s fate in the Holocaust, following the thread from Germany to Latvia and to Britain. 
    In November 1941, Peter Bradley's grandparents, Sally and Bertha Brandes, were deported from their home in Bamberg to their deaths in Latvia. 
    The Last Train is a profound and moving homage to Peter’s lost family and to his father who rarely spoke of the traumas through which he lived. 
    It is also his attempt to understand, through the prism of his family’s story, how the Nazis came to conceive and implement the Final Solution. 
    Why did Sally and Bertha’s fellow citizens put them on the train that carried them to the killing fields? 
    Why did the democracies which so loudly condemned Hitler’s persecution of the Jews deny them sanctuary? 
    And why, when Peter's father finally reached Britain after five terrible months in a Nazi concentration camp, was he arrested as an 'enemy alien'? 
    The quest for answers led Peter to explore the origins and evolution of an ancient hatred and the struggles against it of each generation of his family, from the Reformation, through the Enlightenment and the Age of Reform, to the catastrophe of the Holocaust. 
    This is the powerful, poignant story of Peter’s journey through family papers and archives, through works of scholarship and the testimony of survivors, and from Bavaria and Buchenwald to the mass graves of the Baltic. 
    And, reflecting on what he learned, he asks: in the events of our own times, we are all perpetrators or bystanders or resisters; which of those roles do we choose for ourselves? 
    This best and top biography and autobiography of the 20th century is a testament to survival in modern Europe. It is a chilling reminder of the past and a call to action for the future. 
    For fans of Gwen Strauss (The Nine), Tova Friedman (The Daughter of Auschwitz), Wendy Holden (Tomorrow Will Be A Good Day), Limor Regev (The Boy From Block 66), and Never Again Press (Beneath the Winds of War).

    Two pioneering researchers identify key causes of workplace burnout and reveal what managers can do to promote increased productivity and health. 
     
     
     
    Citing a wealth of research data and drawing on illustrative anecdotes, The Burnout Challenge shows how organizations can change to promote sustainable productivity. Christina Maslach and Michael P. Leiter provide useful tools for identifying the signs of employee burnout, most often exhaustion, cynicism, and ineffectiveness. They also advise managers on assembling and interpreting worker self-evaluation surveys, which can reveal workplace problems and potential solutions. And when it comes to implementing change, Maslach and Leiter offer practical, evidence-driven guidance. The key, they argue, is to begin with less-taxing changes that employees nonetheless find meaningful, seeding the ground for more thorough reforms in the future. 
     
     
     
    Experts estimate that more than $500 billion and 550 million workhours are lost annually to on-the-job stress, much of it caused by dysfunctional work environments. As priorities and policies shift across workplaces, The Burnout Challenge provides pragmatic, creative, and cost-effective solutions to improve employee efficiency, health, and happiness.
