    The thirtieth anniversary edition of one of the modern classics of the sexual revolution—with a new Afterword by the author. 
     
    How did you first learn about sex? If you grew up in the 1970s, it may have been from a gleefully lusty tour guide named Xaviera Hollander. 
     
    In the late 1960s—that era of sexual chaos, when Playboy Clubs and love-ins were competing for national attention—a beautiful, intelligent young Dutch secretary named Xaviera de Vries moved to New York, grew swiftly tired of her desk job . . . and soon became the most visible and glamorous madam the city had ever seen. As Xaviera Hollander, she published a shockingly candid account of her life behind the brothel door. The Happy Hooker shot straight to the top of the bestseller lists, sold more than fifteen million copies, and made this enterprising young woman an international phenomenon. 
     
    Thirty years later, these delightfully explicit tales of the ’60s and ’70s swingers’ scene—including countless jaw-dropping stories of lesbianism, bondage, fetishism, and more—remain as titillating as ever, charged with the mix of shrewd observation and uninhibited appetite that made Hollander an irresistible storyteller. The Happy Hooker is a classic: the world’s greatest book on the world’s oldest profession.

    Together is better, but only if you turn up and lean in. 
    High performing teams are teams in synergy - where the whole is greater than the sum 
    of its parts. 
    This is especially important for directors and leadership teams who face unprecedented 
    market dynamics. Their individual and organisational success depends on their capacity 
    to form bonds of trust that allow them to show up, have courage, welcome open dissent, 
    and explore new solutions to adaptive challenges. 
    In this book, high performance leadership coach Stephanie Bown explores team synergy 
    as the intersection between independent thinking and collective capacity with the goal 
    of amplifying the potential for great people to come together to achieve amazing things.

    At the age of fifty Bradley was a career officer who had never seen a day of action on the battlefield. Yet, by the end of the war, he had led American soldiers through some of the bloodiest fighting of World War Two—the final defeat of the Germans' Afrika Korps, the invasion of Sicily, and the historic Normandy invasion, before leading the advance across the Rhine. 
     
     
     
    Despite being such an instrumental leader of World War Two he was a modest man, professing only to do the best he could for his calling and his country. 
     
     
     
    How did this quiet and unassuming teacher from West Point rise to become the commander of the Twelfth United States Army Group, which ultimately comprised forty-three divisions and over one million troops, the largest American force ever united under one man's command? And how did he come to be known as 'the G.I.'s General'? 
     
     
     
    Charles Whiting's enthralling overview of Bradley and his career uncovers what he was like as a person, providing insight into his actions and leadership during the course of World War Two, before discussing his post-war career as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff through the course of the Korean War.
