  **Value, Price, and Profit** by Karl Marx is a seminal work that distills the core principles of Marxist economic theory into a concise and accessible format. Originally delivered as a speech to the General Council of the First International in 1865, the text examines the dynamics of labor, wages, and profit within a capitalist system. Marx explains how the value of commodities is rooted in the labor required for their production, and he critiques the mechanisms by which capitalists extract surplus value from workers to generate profit. In doing so, he challenges the notion that raising wages alone can resolve systemic inequality, emphasizing the structural exploitation inherent in capitalism. This work serves as both an introduction to Marx's economic ideas and a call to action for addressing labor exploitation and economic injustice.

  How the murder of George Floyd transformed the attitude towards and implementation of DEI across the world 
   
   
   
  Boom to Backlash examines the seismic shift in DEI initiatives following George Floyd's completely preventable death, exploring the initial surge of corporate commitments to DEI, the tangible progress and advancements made, and the subsequent backlash. Through data and case studies, as well as the unparalleled personal experiences of Black executive, global DEI expert, and author DK Bartley, this book illustrates how DEI has evolved from a fringe concept to a crucial element of business strategy, corporate success, and social progress. Some of the topics explored in this book include the mischaracterization of DEI as "new" or "woke" by various platforms; the real impact of DEI on a business's bottom line; the future of DEI with respect to the current political climate and technology's role in implementation strategies; and why George Floyd's murder was a catalyst for change. 
   
   
   
  By addressing these critical aspects of DEI within the context of recent historical events, Boom to Backlash engages with a growing audience of business and political leaders, social media influencers, HR professionals, and individuals who want to understand and implement effective DEI strategies in a post-2020 world.

  Farming and ranching success comes from the freedom to fail because there is no silver bullet. Curiosity – Farmers Discovering What Works tells journeys farmers make to find solutions that are kinder to the environment, easier on the pocket and bring purpose, pride and confidence to those in the most complex profession there is. Each story has nuggets of inspiration and insight to stimulate observation and logic in farming matters. 
  John's perspectives are associated with the practices and principles of Allan Savory's Holistic Management, which though habits and routines, changes how farmers observe, question and probe for solutions. John teaches this in New Zealand and assists with farmers around the globe as a tutor for Holistic Management International. John draws on similarly minded farmers and experts such as Joel Salatin, Gabe Brown, Allan Nation, Allen Williams, Fred Provenza, Christine Jones, Charles Massy and others offering commercial farmers new directions and insights. 
  Reviews include: 
  …his purposeful “short, sharp” essays are designed for busy people. “Hopefully it’s style will remind you of Allan Nation.” Yes, John King did indeed capture Allan’s wise pithiness. I found myself underlining or circling something in virtually every essay. It’s dense, packed with sensible advice gleaned from dozens of on-farm experiments over numerous decades. Joel Salatin, editor, Stockman Grass Farmer, Missouri, USA 
  This invaluable and important book should be compulsory reading for anyone daring to manage farming landscapes with an eye to contributing to healthier farmscapes and catchments, rural families and their animals, and to a sustainable future. How I wish I could have read and lived in such a book as this when I was a young farmer preparing to make all the mistakes. A farming, social, and environmental gem. Charles Massy, author, Call of the Reed Warbler

  **12 Hidden Psychological Biases Working Against Your Career Goals in Your Office** 
  This is not a book about Racial or Gender bias. This is about something more.. 12 Hidden Psychological Biases, right at your workplace, right in front of you.. day-in & day-out! 
  Corporates spend millions of dollars every year to train their managers against biases prevalent in their workplaces. But as a new entrant or a mid-senior level employee you cannot simply hope for these trainings to instill a better sense in your colleagues and managers. For the sake of your own careers be aware of all the hidden psychological aspects that may be working against your career goals in office. 
  A Corporate office is full of psychological biases, many not even as prominent or evident as racial or gender bias. Often, we don't even realize that we are a victim of these psychological biases from our managers, until it’s too late. By then, we have either lost out on an interview or have received not-so-great annual performance rating. Awareness is the best cure to navigate through these psychologically complex situations and achieve career success. 
  The 'Theory of Corporate Mind' originates from a well-known psychological concept called 'Theory of Mind'. Theory of Mind defines the basic ability of human brain to understand and mirror others' perspective. Although this ability originates at a very young age, the adult workforce entering the corporate world doesn't seem to be utilizing this cognitive ability to its advantage. 
  Do not underestimate the power of these 12 hidden biases. They may have already costed you a lot in your career. Be Aware!
