  Leading an Agile team calls for unexpected changes and typical project management tactics. You simply can't approach an Agile Project with the same mentality as you usually use. Agile teams are self-organized, self-directing, and lack a hierarchical structure that often defines project management. But even with the lack of common elements, you can be a team leader and guide your project to success. Even if you're not familiar with coding or software development, understanding the Agile manifesto, and the basics of Agile project management, you can be a valued part of the team. 
  Within this book you'll learn:The principles of Agile developmentDifferent methods to guide your team toward successHow to keep team members accountableYour role within the Agile team and how to best act as a leaderHow to address conflict and tension within your teamValuable tools to use to help your team communicate clearly and collaborate effectivelyHow to manage the events that drive Agile projects 
  Managing an Agile project can go smoothly if you use the principles and constructs of an Agile team the way they were intended. Some modern tools have made that even easier, but you'll always need to have a grip on the human element of team management as well. By expanding your knowledge of Agile, you can balance the importance of people, the usefulness of tools, and the value of the principles laid out in the Agile Manifesto.

  Sex is a Spectrum - The...

  Being human entails an astonishingly complex interplay of biology and culture, and while there are important differences between women and men, there is a lot more variation and overlap than we may realize. Sex Is a Spectrum offers a bold new paradigm for understanding the biology of sex, drawing on the latest science to explain why the binary view of the sexes is fundamentally flawed. 
   
   
   
  In this lively and provocative book, leading biological anthropologist Agustín Fuentes begins by tracing the origin and evolution of sex, describing the many ways in the animal kingdom of being female, male, or both. Turning to humans, he presents evidence from the fossil and archaeological record that attests to the diversity of our ancestors' sexual bonds, gender roles, and family and community structures, and shows how the same holds true in the lived experiences of people today. Fuentes tackles hot-button debates around sports and medicine, explaining why we can acknowledge that females and males are not the same while also embracing a biocultural reality where none of us fits neatly into only one of two categories. 
   
   
   
  Bringing clarity and reason to a contentious issue, Sex Is a Spectrum shares a scientist's perspective on why a binary view of sex and gender is not only misguided but harmful, and why there are multitudes of ways of being human.

  The Common Yellowthroat is a small warbler of the migratory species with an extensive range, occurring throughout North America and Central America down to northern South America. The male has distinctive yellow underparts, with a black mask above the eyes and throat, while the female has a plainer greenish-olive back and yellowish underparts. The Common Yellowthroat often perches atop a tall stalk to rap out his distinctive song, wichity-wichity-wichity. This binaural audio recording features the Common Yellowthroat birdsong recorded in its natural habitat in Iowa’s Yellow River State Forest near a delicate babbling river stream together with other birds, insects, and ground creatures. Other birdsongs include: Blue Jay, Song Sparrow, Wood Thrush, Red-bellied Woodpecker, White-breasted Nuthatch with Northern Cardinal and Mourning Dove in background.
