Beschreibung

How do you predict eclipses at Stonehenge? Why do the Carnac alignments follow geological fault lines? Why is Avebury precisely one seventh of a circle down from the north pole? Why are so many stone circles egg-shaped or flattened? What is the meaning of the designs in ancient rock art? Why do you have to wait nineteen years to visit the remote site of Callanish? What were the ancients up to? This book details our oldest and grandest buildings, our first temples, our earliest visual art, messages which are still relevant today. With eight authors, and packed with detailed information and exquisite rare illustrations, Megalith is a timeless and valuable sourcebook for anyone interested in prehistory.

    Evidence suggests that only about 10% of start-ups and 30% of entrepreneurs make it beyond 5 years. Methods for control and leadership in the start-up or early growth stages are wildly different from those needed to successfully manage a complex organization consisting of multiple departments, divisions, product lines, or geographic spread. To succeed, business leaders should be aware of which stage their organization is in, the characteristics of the current stage, and the characteristics of the next stage. This book explores various common patterns of management styles and then offers transition strategies to help managers to succeed in the digital economy. The authors guide leaders to prepare for these transitions by laying the foundations or infrastructure needed to prevent a crisis that inhibits further growth. They also provide leaders with a greater understanding of the growth framework, which will help leaders to manage better the development of their companies.

    "I went from ~5% to ~90% responses to my resume and literally had to slow down my job search so I could handle all the follow up" -Jacob D. 
    "Prior to Paul, I barely received any interest from all the job applications I submitted. Now, I have progress with Microsoft, Amazon, IBM, Walmart, Major League Baseball, and several government contract and consulting firms, to include one offer and pending results from several final round interviews. I can't recommend this enough" -Will M.

    Guess what? Your resume and process are broken! 
    However, It’s not your fault. You have received bad advice from good meaning people. Professors, military transitions, teachers, and others who have never really hired anyone, ever.  
    If you haven’t hired someone, you don’t know how a hiring manager thinks. That professor sure hasn’t. 
    And as someone who has hired hundreds of people, let me be the first to tell you that those people are going to have you waste months it not years of your life going nowhere with that garbage. 
    I know how frustrating it is to never hear back. 
    To apply and apply and start to despair, to lose hope. 
    But guess what? It doesn’t have to be this way. 
    To change your life you need to do something different than before. Something that will enable your dreams and bring you results, fast. 
    In this book I'll teach you step by step how to make a winning resume that will make recruiters and hiring managers eager to pickup the phone and call you. 
    Change your life, get the job of your dreams.

    Winner of the 2017 Toronto Book Award
    		 
    A remarkable memoir about achieving prosperity in the face of relentless prejudice
    		 
    In the Black traces B. Denham Jolly’s personal and professional struggle for a place in a country where Black Canadians have faced systematic discrimination. He arrived from Jamaica to attend university in the mid-1950s and worked as a high school teacher before going into the nursing and retirement-home business. Though he was ultimately successful in his business ventures, Jolly faced both overt and covert discrimination, which led him into social activism. The need for a stronger voice for the Black community fuelled Jolly’s 12-year battle to get a licence for a Black-owned radio station in Toronto. At its launch in 2001, Flow 93.5 became the model for urban music stations across the country, helping to launch the careers of artists like Drake.
    		 
    Jolly chronicles not only his own journey; he tells the story of a generation of activists who worked to reshape the country into a more open and just society. While celebrating these successes, In the Black also measures the distance Canada still has to travel before we reach our stated ideals of equality.
