Summary

Arid Beauty Sells explores the evolving trade of Himba crafts in Namibia, examining the intersection of tradition, globalization, and economic development. This book delves into how Himba women, traditionally known for their pastoral lifestyle, are increasingly selling crafts in urban centers. One intriguing aspect is the delicate balance between providing economic opportunities and the potential for cultural commodification. The book highlights the social impact of this trade on Himba communities, including shifts in gender roles and intergenerational relationships. The approach uses qualitative and quantitative data, including interviews and ethnographic observations, to provide a comprehensive analysis. It addresses critical issues such as cultural preservation, fair trade, and the challenges faced by indigenous communities in the global marketplace. The structure progresses from introducing the Himba people and their traditions, to analyzing the economics of the craft trade, its social effects, and cultural implications, ultimately offering recommendations for sustainable tourism models. By understanding these dynamics, Arid Beauty Sells offers valuable insights into the complexities of cultural tourism and its impact on marginalized communities.

    The definitive collection of thoughts, assaults, and hilarious observations from America’s premier business humorist and bestselling author of Throwing the Elephant and What Would Machiavelli Do? 
The Big Bing will be a mandatory addition to the library of everyone who works for a living, or would like to. For nearly 20 years, Stanley Bing’s funny, wise, pleasantly mean-spirited, and at times even useful columns have delighted readers in the pages of Esquire, Fortune and a variety of other national publications. 
Bing has lived the last two decades inside the belly of the corporate beast, clawing his way to the top of one of the great multinational companies in the cosmos. And he has seen it all: the high body count after many a gruesome deal, the machine that grinds up the bones of those who stood in its way, the birth and death of executive dinosaurs (and he’s had quite a few lunches with some of them, too). The result is storytelling at its best—sophisticated, amusing, and driven by the kind of insight that only a true insider can possess. 
The Big Bing provides a mole’s-eye-view of the society in which we all live and work, creating one of the most entertaining, thought-provoking, and just plain funny bodies of work in contemporary letters.

    Is your internal playlist holding you back from being the leader you could be?In The Leader’s Playlist, leadership coach Susan Drumm unveils a groundbreaking process that outlines how our childhood wounds influence our ability to lead others and how music can heal those wounds. Maybe you’re having a hard time retaining or engaging your people. Or perhaps you’re feeling burnout or that you can’t delegate or trust your team to deliver. These problems and other leadership challenges can be addressed by shifting how you show up as a leader, and music is the catalyst.Drawing on neuroscience and leadership research, Drumm’s process uses the power of music to, first, help you recognize when an old, detrimental neural pathway (the old playlist, established by childhood wounds) is activated and, second, guide you to strengthen a new neural pathway (a new playlist). This book will help you:• Make better decisions instead of defaulting to old neural pathways• Attract others who are as committed as you are to a mission• Scale your business more efficiently and effectively by influencing and inspiring instead of defending and controllingWith newfound freedom from the weight of the old playlist, you will unleash energy to focus on a meaningful mission, find more joy, and lead in a way that brings out the best in others.
