Summary

What we need to do is to envision the digital future of your 
business. Without a compelling vision of where you are going 
and why it is imperative, you will probably be painting race 
stripes on a 20 year old Chevy. What assets will be valuable in 
a digitally-transformed business? How can you transform 
customer experience? Internal operations? Your business model? 
How can units work differently – and work together differently 
– in a more connected way? Look at the media industry. It 
has been completely transformed by digital technology. Some 
are putting their toes in the water. A few have jumped in and 
find they aren't drowning. They are reaping huge results. 
A very familiar, important and inevitable question we need to 
face these days is "Is my business equipped enough to get 
disrupted?" The risk that the disruption can happen highly 
radically if you are not prepared for it beforehand. 
If you do believe it could happen, it is well worth getting away 
from the office to consider what to do very soon to avert it. 
Taking the time to have a serious answer might make all the 
difference in success or failure three years from now. 
The next question is this. If you or your company isn't ready, 
what should you do about it? It is important to think through 
what you personally should do as opposed to what "the 
company" should do. You can control your plan. You can only 
influence the corporate approach. 
The answer will set your agenda for the next six months. A 
change is indeed coming and it is coming thick and fast. 
  
Transformation is occurring. It can't be escaped. It is about 
how people collaborate and work. It is about the way business 
processes are executed. It is most certainly about how we 
understand our customers and obsess about the experience. It 
is about how we use digital technology to radically shift how 
we provide amazing experiences for our customers. It is radical 
and it is now. 
Customers are in charge. That is a profound shift. At our core, 
do we get that shift? There is a convergence of customers 
being in control and our designing experiences that easily help 
them reach their goals. What if we don't? They will let 
everyone know about it and go somewhere else. It is that 
simple. Do you see it coming? 
As senior managers, you alone possess the skills and resources 
to make it happen. You can decide to transform and survive 
or you cannot. No one else can make that happen. It is up to 
you to create the vision. 
It is up to you decide who is "on the bus" and who is not. 
Here is the tough thing. Not all of your people and senior 
management gets "it". To assume otherwise will hinder you. 
You need to decide who is on board and who is not. You 
need to get those who are not on board off the bus, as gently 
as you can, but as soon as possible. Delay will only hinder you 
and you know it. 
Your desire to strive to digital maturity and make it happen is 
something that really matters. You need to make sure there 
are targets for progress, they are well known and they are 
met. That cannot be delegated. 
Communicating the vision can't be delegated either. It is up to 
you to take a stand. It is up to you to communicate it. The 
message needs to get through and no one else can do it. Do 
develop a serious communication plan. Make sure that it is 
followed.

    A Pulitzer Prize Finalist, this powerful elegy for our disappearing coast “captures nature with precise words that almost amount to poetry” (The New York Times). 
     
    Hailed as “the book on climate change and sea levels that was missing” (Chicago Tribune), Rising is both a highly original work of lyric reportage and a haunting meditation on how to let go of the places we love. 
     
    With every record-breaking hurricane, it grows clearer that climate change is neither imagined nor distant—and that rising seas are transforming the coastline of the United States in irrevocable ways. In Rising, Elizabeth Rush guides readers through these dramatic changes, from the Gulf Coast to Miami, and from New York City to the Bay Area. For many of the plants, animals, and humans in these places, the options are stark: retreat or perish. 
     
    Rush sheds light on the unfolding crises through firsthand testimonials—a Staten Islander who lost her father during Sandy, the remaining holdouts of a Native American community on a drowning Isle de Jean Charles, a neighborhood in Pensacola settled by escaped slaves hundreds of years ago—woven together with profiles of wildlife biologists, activists, and other members of these vulnerable communities.

    Acclaimed writer David Smart illuminates the fascinating life of Royal Robbins—in all its soulful ambition, rivalry, and romance. Royal Robbins chronicles his early years growing up as a latchkey kid in Southern California, the push and pull between being an aspiring banker or one of the original Camp 4 dirtbags, and his later decades as a father, husband, kayaker, and the trailblazing founder of the outdoor apparel company that bears his name. This intimate, colorful tour of climbing history covering Yosemite, the Tetons, the Gunks, the Alps, the United Kingdom, and more from the 1960s onward features star characters such as Liz Robbins—Robbins's wife and a pioneering adventurer in her own right—Yvon Chouinard, John Harlin, Steve Roper, Warren Harding, Tom Frost, and Doug Tompkins.An important addition to our knowledge of the Golden Age of rock climbing in Yosemite and the development of the clean climbing ethos, Royal Robbins sheds new light on an elemental figure of outdoor culture.

     Jo Marchant attempts to use scientific research to find out if alternative medicines work, if our thoughts, beliefs and emotions influence our physical health and can we train our brains to heal our bodies?

    When a bolt of lightning ignited a hilltop in the sleepy town of Yarnell, Arizona, in June of 2013, setting off a blaze that would grow into one of the deadliest fires in American history, the 20 men who made up the Granite Mountain Hotshots sprang into action.An elite crew trained to combat the most challenging wildfires, the Granite Mountain Hotshots were a ragtag family crisscrossing the American West and wherever else the fires took them. The Hotshots were loyal to one another and dedicated to the tough job they had. There was Eric Marsh, their devoted and demanding superintendent who turned his own personal demons into lessons he used to mold, train, and guide his crew; Jesse Steed, their captain, a former marine, a beast on the fire line and a family man who wasn't afraid to say "I love you" to the firemen he led; and Andrew Ashcraft, a team leader still in his 20s who struggled to balance his love for his beautiful wife and four children and his passion for fighting wildfires. We see this band of brothers at work, at play, and at home until a fire that burned in their own backyards leads to a national tragedy.In this impeccably researched audio-book, drawing upon more than a hundred hours of interviews with the firefighters' families and colleagues, state and federal officials, and fire historians and researchers, New York Times Phoenix Bureau chief Fernanda Santos has written a riveting, pulse-pounding narrative of an unthinkable disaster, a remarkable group of men, and the raging wildfires that threaten our country's treasured wild lands.A Macmillan Audio production.

    The combination of the latest brain research with the new image of the shape of reality emerging from quantum physics challenges us to see ourselves anew, according to Pearce, who provides a wealth of knowledge about how we develop, learn, create and relate to the universe we inhabit. He suggests that intelligence is much more than just brainpower and may, indeed, have its source in the human heart.
