  Amazonia - Five Years at the...

  A “funny, contemplative” memoir of working at Amazon in the early years, when it was a struggling online bookstore (San Francisco Chronicle).   In a book that Ian Frazier has called “a fascinating and sometimes hair-raising morality tale from deep inside the Internet boom,” James Marcus, hired by Amazon.com in 1996—when the company was so small his e-mail address could be james@amazon.com—looks back at the ecstatic rise, dramatic fall, and remarkable comeback of the consummate symbol of late 1990s America.   Observing “how it was to be in the right place (Seattle) at the right time (the ’90s)” (Chicago Reader), Marcus offers a ringside seat on everything from his first interview with Jeff Bezos to the company’s bizarre Nordic-style retreats, in “a clear-eyed, first-person account, rife with digressions on the larger cultural meaning throughout” (Henry Alford, Newsday).   “Marcus tells his story with wit and candor.” —Booklist, starred review

  When Katherine Miller was first asked to train chefs to be advocates, she thought the idea was ludicrous. But she quickly learned that chefs and other leaders in the restaurant industry are some of the most powerful forces for change in our troubled food system. Chefs are leading hunger relief efforts, supporting local farmers, fighting food waste, confronting racism and sexism in the industry, and much more.In At the Table, Miller shares the essential techniques she developed for the James Beard Foundation's Chefs Boot Camp for Policy and Change. Listeners will learn how to focus their philanthropic efforts; pinpoint their audience and develop their argument; recruit allies and support action; and maybe most importantly, grab people's attention in a crowded media landscape.Miller also shares the moving stories of chefs who used these skills to create lasting change. Chefs from around the country pushed Congress to provide financial relief to the restaurant industry at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.At the Table is filled with inspiration for anyone who has ever wanted to make a difference outside the four walls of their restaurant.

  Equal but Different - Women...

  My interest in this area of study is based on my strong belief that people are born equal but different. It is a belief that equity across gender, race, social class and sexual orientation will be attained in my lifetime. 
  Equal but Different is based on my doctoral thesis, which investigated the intersection of race, gender, and social class in women leaders' career progression. The women leaders came up with strategies for gender transformation at leadership level. The audiobook presents life stories of women leaders in South Africa and abroad and men who believe in gender equality and have contributed toward this goal. The common thread across the life stories of women who contributed to the audiobook are:A message from family that said ''you can be anything that you set your mind to be''.Supportive men who sponsored and mentored them.Pursuit of education.Determination to succeed.Your initial social class should not determine the person you become. Though the lower your initial social class is, the harder you have to work to achieve your ambitious dreams. 
  This audiobook is relevant for people across gender, race, and social class who want advice on personal strategies and tactics to succeed; leaders who want to be inclusive, with an empowerment agenda for minorities; mentors across gender; and corporate and government leaders who are committed to transformation.

  Behavioral Finance

  For a good reason, the era we live in is dubbed the "Information Age." People have never had such rapid and simple access to so much information. The availability of so much information may appear useful to us in becoming informed and making good decisions. Still, the availability of so much information does not necessarily make us knowledgeable.In recent years, finance has witnessed the birth of a new way of thinking about financial decision-making that considers the investor's psychology — heuristics, biases, emotions, fears, and fallacies – to make sense of investor decision-making. Behavioral finance is a relatively recent area that has entered the debate as an alternative method to working with emotion and decision-making. It defects our understanding of how they inhibit us from reaching optimal investment outcomes and how they may be performed to optimize the results.
