Leading From The Jumpseat - How...

Peter Docker

Everyone is capable of accomplishing extraordinary things. If you share this belief, then this book was written for you.
In business and in life, handing over the reins to others is inevitable. Everyone will eventually leave their team, retire from being the CEO, or see their kids leave home and lead their own lives. Leading from the Jumpseat enables us to embrace this inevitability. Leading from the Jumpseat is a metaphor for how we can choose to lead. It’s about the journey we take so we can hand over control to others, who are then equipped to continue forward.
Peter Docker, co-author of Find Your Why and formerly a founding Igniter at Simon Sinek Inc., delivers the message that leadership is about lifting people up and giving them the space they need so that, when the time is right, they can take the lead. Drawing on his 25-year career in the Royal Air Force, and over 14 years spent partnering with businesses around the world, Peter's goal is to inspire others to Lead from the Jumpseat. Jumpseat Leadership is a way of interacting with people that will enhance performance in any given situation – during normal business, times of crisis, and life in general. Becoming a Jumpseat Leader takes practice and this book is your practical guide to handing over control.
"Leaders know that the secret to success is giving control to the team, safely, consistently, and boldly. In Leading from the Jumpseat, former RAF pilot Peter Docker shows us how to do this." David Marquet, Author of Fortune’s #1 Best Business Book of the Year, Turn the Ship Around and Founder of Intent Based Leadership
“Trust and empower your people so they can lead. Easier said than done. This book is an invaluable guide on how to do that.” Nick Beighton, CEO, ASOS

Cause & Effect: Motley Crue

Chris Akin

Chris Akin, rock critic and co-host of the often controversial Classic Metal Show, takes listeners on an exploration of Motley Crue’s 1994 self-titled album. Armed with new vocalist John Corabi, it was a sound that, from start to finish, sounded nothing at all like anything they had done previously. 
Immediately, it was polarizing. Most of the fan base absolutely hated it. They didn’t buy it, and further didn’t support the band to the point where the label themselves made the decision to stop pushing money into it. That said though, many fans felt completely different, Akin among them. He takes a look back at both his personal experiences as well as the perception of this polarizing release on the world. This audiobook also includes nearly an hour of bonus audio extras.

Maladies & Medicine - Exploring...

Sara Read, Jennifer Evans

Maladies and Medicine offers a lively exploration of health and medical cures in early modern England. The introduction sets out the background in which the body was understood, covering the theory of the four humors and the ways that male and female bodies were conceptualized. It also explains the hierarchy of healers from university trained physicians, to the itinerant women healers who traveled the country offering cures based on inherited knowledge of homemade remedies. It covers the print explosion of medical health guides, which began to appear in the sixteenth century from more academic medical text books to cheap almanacs.The book has twenty chapters covering attitudes towards, and explanations of some of, the most common diseases and medical conditions in the period and the ways people understood them, along with the steps people took to get better. It explores the body from head to toe, from migraines to gout. It was an era when tooth cavities were thought to be caused by tiny worms and smallpox by an inflammation of the blood, and cures ranged from herbal potions, cooling cordials, blistering the skin, and of course letting blood. Case studies and personal anecdotes taken from doctors notes, personal journals, diaries, letters and even court records show the reactions of individuals to their illnesses and treatments, bringing the reader into close proximity with people who lived around 400 years ago. This fascinating and richly illustrated study will appeal to anyone curious about the history of the body and the way our ancestors lived.
