  Beyond The Game: A Rowing Romance (Varsity Hearts Athletics, Short Story) 
  Two rowing rivals, a sweaty London locker room, and a tension so thick it could sink a scull. 
  Freddy, a disciplined, senior-squad rower and corporate architect, lives by the clock: 5 AM training, tight work deadlines, and zero emotional distractions. When his intense focus is broken by a gorgeous blonde guy in an upscale Richmond café, Freddy’s perfect schedule is thrown overboard. 
  Andy, a semi-pro photographer with a knack for trouble, is new to the development rowing squad. He should be focused on proving his athletic worth, but all his attention—and his most explicit fantasies—are suddenly focused on the beautiful, snobbish rower he keeps accidentally flashing. 
  Their lives clash when Andy’s leg brushes Freddy’s under a table at a swanky Fulham bar, turning a casual drink into a high-stakes game of seduction. From judging PEI oysters and Tattinger champagne to revealing explicit photography on a phone screen, the lines between rivalry and reckless lust blur completely. 
  They’re teammates. They’re competitors. And in the damp, secretive corners of the boat club, they might just become each other's dirtiest secret. 
  If you love sizzling tension, high-stakes sport, and unexpected encounters, grab this fast-paced, high-heat short story. It's the perfect taste of what happens when two athletes let their desire run wild.

  Narcissism And Leadership

  The destiny of humankind as a species fell on the shoulders of great men.The current book aims to unravel the changes in narcissistic leadership that develop over time and examine the potential mechanisms responsible for any such changes.The term “Narcissism” is derived from Ovid’s tale of Narcissus falling in love with his own reflection to the detriment of his genuine/authentic self, which caused him to perish. Although Ovid’s tale of Narcissus being obsessed with his image is void of any psychological examination, it is significant not merely for where the term “narcissism” is derived from. More importantly, constructive themes like unrequited self-love resonated with later interpretations of narcissism as a personality trait.Such individuals’ maintenance of their self-esteem depends on the continued use of certain mental functions. They continually judge others, usually pointing up the moral flaws in other people’s personalities and behavior, and, without shame or hesitation, they set themselves up as the guides and leaders and gods of those who need guidance, of leadership, and as a target for their reverence.These psychoanalytical perspectives suggest that narcissists regulate their self-image through portrayals of boasting, which are often boundless, leading to their rise into leadership positions.

  Other People’s Colleges - The...

  An illuminating history of the reform agenda in higher education. 
   
  For well over one hundred years, people have been attempting to make American colleges and universities more efficient and more accountable. Indeed, Ethan Ris argues in Other People’s Colleges, the reform impulse is baked into American higher education, the result of generations of elite reformers who have called for sweeping changes in the sector and raised existential questions about its sustainability. When that reform is beneficial, offering major rewards for minor changes, colleges and universities know how to assimilate it. When it is hostile, attacking autonomy or values, they know how to resist it. The result is a sector that has learned to accept top-down reform as part of its existence. 
    
  In the early twentieth century, the “academic engineers,” a cadre of elite, external reformers from foundations, businesses, and government, worked to reshape and reorganize the vast base of the higher education pyramid. Their reform efforts were largely directed at the lower tiers of higher education, but those efforts fell short, despite the wealth and power of their backers, leaving a legacy of successful resistance that affects every college and university in the United States. Today, another coalition of business leaders, philanthropists, and politicians is again demanding efficiency, accountability, and utility from American higher education. But, as Ris argues, top-down design is not destiny. Drawing on extensive and original archival research, Other People’s Colleges offers an account of higher education that sheds light on today’s reform agenda.

  Are you struggling with your child's ADHD? Are you worried that they will be marginalised or laughed at, at school or with friends, because of their special needs? Do you feel lost when it comes to your child’s ADHD and its related issues and concerns? 
    
    
  Yes, it’s true; all children lose focus and can be hyperactive, especially when they are anxious or excited. 
    
  But when a child is constantly overwhelmed by emotions, memory lapses and inattention in differing contexts, this can undermine both self-esteem and social life. 
   Parents have to do something. 
    
  For parents, it is difficult to accept that their child has been diagnosed with ADHD. They see their child as naturally curious, full of life and intelligent. 
    
  Parenting a child with ADHD brings both joys and challenges. I recommend that you read this book if you recognise these behaviours in your child. 
    
  But let me tell you this: 
  Being an unprepared parent will only make the situation worse. Unnecessary guilt, inevitable frustration and misunderstanding will only make your child feel stupid and a failure. 
  This is absolutely NOT TRUE, and it doesn't have to be this way. 
    
  But do not worry! 
  Children with ADHD can lead perfectly normal lives as long as their parents know how to address their needs early and can thrive with them. 
   Listen to this audiobook now will help you to understand how your baby's brain works. It will be greatly rewarding to see your child improve with friends, at home, at school and in every area of life.The best gift you can give him to guarantee him a prosperous and peaceful life!
