    Whether trading one-liners at RADA with Ralph Richardson, shooting the breeze with Clint Eastwood, acting in Edwardian comedy with Rex Harrison or dodging fights with Sid Vicious, Edward Tudor Pole has proved himself equal to many a challenge.
    In a series of amusing, nostalgic and sometimes outrageous stories, told with candour and wit, Tudor Pole recounts his fascinating youth pre-punk and his time with the Sex Pistols, writing 'Who Killed Bambi' with Vivienne Westwood for them before fronting 80s punk band Tenpole Tudor and playing with the Clash and the Ramones. When the group eventually imploded Tudor Pole ran away from rock & roll and joined the theatre, appearing in West End shows and numerous films including Sid & Nancy, Absolute Beginners and an 'appearance' in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
    But finding the life of an actor ever more intolerable - and after a stint presenting The Crystal Maze - Tudor Pole returned to his calling as a full-time singer and guitarist and he has been touring ever since.
    The Pen is Mightier tells of how a troubled start can lead to a happy ending. Tudor Pole writes a fast-paced account of a life spent exploring every avenue of show business before finding out where he belongs.

    Andrea Jung, the glamorous former head of Avon, was arguably the world's most charismatic and effective CEO, credited with the astonishing turnaround of the venerable brand. Jung seemed incapable of making a wrong move, until, amid declining sales, an investigation by the SEC, and a brand in crisis, she stepped down in late 2012. In Beauty Queen, former Avon VP Deborrah Himsel uses Jung's story as a case study for two timeless leadership questions: What makes great leaders great? And what makes them fail? She explores both Jung's early years of success as well as the combination of missteps that led to her downfall, including her failure to nurture Avon's direct selling channel, the erosion of trust that occurred as a result of frequent decision reversals, and her ignorance of operational details, including how her people secured a license to conduct door-to-door sales in China, which led to a federal investigation. Through interviews with other CEOs, Avon executives past and present, and leadership experts, she explores the unique challenges Jung faced as a female Fortune 500 CEO; the thin line between pride and hubris; and the danger of the so-called "halo effect" in our high-stakes times.

    Adolphe Tonduz and the Golden...

    Certain eras in the development of humanity have been characterized by their effervescence and diversification of artistic, technical, intellectual, and scientific activities; one of them occurred at the end of the 19th century in Europe and North America. At that time, currents of change were generated that would later define many of the trends in today's world. 
    
    The once endless virgin forests and impassable rural roads, plains, rivers, and mountains of Costa Rica, as well as the city of San José, were also the scene of such effervescence. Here, botanical explorers such as Adolphe Tonduz, Henri Pittier or Paul Biolley, with sweat, effort, and collaboration, laid the foundations for the scientific exploration of this small Central American republic, and made it stand out in Latin America. 
    
    In the second edition of the work Adolphe Tonduz and the golden age of botany in Costa Rica, reference is made to this feat by incorporating, in addition to the pleasant stories of the Swiss naturalist, his agronomic texts, which represent the beginnings of the fight against pests of economically important tropical crops, such as coffee, bananas and cocoa. New and updated images of the actors, settings and correspondence have also been included, which constituted the primary source of the work. 
    
    Aimed not only at professionals in botany, natural sciences, and history, but also at agronomists, anthropologists and the public, this book transports us directly to the context of Tonduz, as well as to the dawn of modern Costa Rica.
