  As an engineering manager, you almost always have someone in your company to turn to for advice: a peer on another team, your manager, or even the head of engineering. But who do you turn to if you're the head of engineering? Engineering executives have a challenging learning curve, and many folks excitedly start their first executive role only to leave frustrated within the first eighteen months. 
   
   
   
  In this book, author Will Larson shows you ways to obtain your first executive job and quickly ramp up to meet the challenges you may not have encountered in non-executive roles: measuring engineering for both engineers and the CEO, company-scoped headcount planning, communicating successfully across a growing organization, and figuring out what people actually mean when they keep asking for a "technology strategy." 
   
   
   
  This book explains how to get an engineering executive job, negotiate the contract, and onboard at your new company; run an engineering planning process and communicate effectively with the organization; direct the core meetings necessary to operate an effective engineering organization; hire, onboard, and run performance management; manage yourself and remain effective through many challenges; and leave the job when the time is right.

  Where Things Touch - A...

  Finalist for the 2021 Gerald Lampert Memorial Award
  
  To devote oneself to the study of beauty is to offer footnotes to the universe for all the places and all the moments that one observes beauty. I can no longer grab beauty by her wrists and demand articulation or meaning. I can only take account of where things touch.
  Part lyric essay, part prose poetry, Where Things Touch grapples with the manifold meanings and possibilities of beauty.
  Drawing on her experiences as a physician-in-training, Orang considers clinical encounters and how they relate to the concept and very idea of beauty. Such considerations lead her to questions about intimacy, queerness, home, memory, love, and other aspects of human existence. Throughout, beauty is ultimately imagined as something inextricably tied to care: the care of lovers, of patients, of art and literature, and the various non-human worlds that surround us.
  Eloquent and meditative in its approach, beauty, here, beyond base expectations of frivolity and superficiality, is conceived of as a thing to recover.Where Things Touch is an exploration of an essential human pleasure, a necessary freedom by which to challenge what we know of ourselves and the world we inhabit.
  2021 Gerald Lampert Memorial Award Jury Citation:
  "Tapestry-like in form, Orang's lyrical poetic essay stitches together an exploration of beauty and aesthetics that is woven with humility and relationality to other. Her immense sense of craft and confidence make for breath stopping moments, over and over, while at the same time filling the senses with powerful and piercing revelation. 'Reading,' she writes, 'is a kind of ecological activity'– and it is a privilege to situate yourself within Orang's topographies of love."

  How Glands Affect Personality

  How much of who we are is shaped by the chemistry within us? 
   
  In How Glands Affect Personality, Grace Adams introduces readers to the emerging science of the endocrine system and explores the once-revolutionary idea that the body’s internal secretions may influence growth, energy, emotion, behavior, and temperament. 
   
  Beginning with a clear definition of personality, Adams explains the difference between ordinary glands and the “ductless” glands now known as the endocrine system. She examines the thyroid, pituitary, adrenal, pineal, thymus, and sex glands, describing the roles early researchers believed each played in physical development and psychological life. 
   
  The book also considers how severe glandular imbalances were associated with recognizable medical conditions, while subtler variations were thought to help explain everyday differences in appearance, mood, energy, and character. 
   
  Originally published in 1929 during the early development of endocrinology, How Glands Affect Personality offers modern listeners a fascinating look at how scientists and popular writers first attempted to connect hormones, physiology, and human behavior. 
   
  Narrated by Jonathan Guerrero, this compact work will appeal to listeners interested in medical history, psychology, endocrinology, and the development of popular science. 
   
  Publisher’s note: This audiobook is presented as a historical scientific work. Some terminology, theories, medical descriptions, and conclusions reflect the knowledge and attitudes of 1929 and should not be considered current medical guidance.
