    You already know what happens when dinosaurs and meteoric change come together. 
    Rapid change also impacts the digital world, and the choice for leaders is transformation or extinction. But adaptation can be challenging. Human teams and managers tend to resist change, and it takes effort and ingenuity to convince them to grow. 
    In Working with Dinosaurs, Marcus East, a leader in the digital technology industry for over two decades, shows other top executives how to disrupt outdated systems and mindsets and embrace new tech worlds like cloud computing and AI, so they can become next generation leaders of digital and tech transformation. 
    Ditching the dinosaurs means more than switching out old software and skills. It means re-envisioning the structure of an organization. It means creatively changing roles, capabilities, and culture. It means inspiring teams to move forward. 
    Digital transformation is here. Evolve to lead it.

    Beneath the waves, one of Earth’s most extraordinary ecosystems is fading from colour to white. Coral reefs — the rainforests of the sea — are dying at an unprecedented rate, taking with them a quarter of all marine life and the livelihoods of millions who depend on them. 
    In The Last Coral, Alex Southwick journeys from the Great Barrier Reef to the islands of the Pacific, tracing the human and ecological story of the planet’s most fragile wonder. Through scientists, divers, and coastal communities, Southwick captures both the urgency of the crisis and the fierce devotion of those fighting to preserve what remains. 
    This is not just a tale of loss, but of endurance — of reefs regenerating in unlikely places, and of people refusing to surrender to despair. 
    Measured, moving, and unsentimental, The Last Coral asks what it means to love something vanishing — and whether that love might yet be enough to bring it back.
