Sinopsis

The Novel That Changed the World.

Experience the raw, unflinching power of Upton Sinclair's masterpiece, The Jungle. Originally intended to expose the brutal conditions faced by immigrants in Chicago's Stockyards, this "muckraking" classic instead ignited a national firestorm over food safety, directly leading to the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act.

Follow the heartbreaking journey of Jurgis Rudkus, a Lithuanian immigrant who arrives in America full of hope, only to be crushed by the industrial machine of the meatpacking district. Sinclair paints a vivid, terrifying portrait of systemic corruption, poverty, and the hazardous realities of early 20th-century labor.

More than just a historical document, The Jungle remains a gripping and essential work of social justice literature. It is a profound exploration of the American Dream turned nightmare and a testament to the power of a single book to transform a society.

Bear witness to the story that demanded justice. Buy "The Jungle" today and own a piece of literary and social history.

    CEO-Led Sales outlines The Right Model to revolutionise your sales process and dramatically improve your confidence in the predictability of your sales numbers. This has to start from the top with you, the CEO. 
    As the CEO of a sales organisation, how many times have you said to yourself: 
    "thank god our customers are buying because we're not selling" 
    "we had ten-times pipeline coverage, but we still missed our number?" 
    Or ... heard from your sales leads the following: 
    "the person who was going to sign off on our deal has gone on leave" 
    "this is a strategic deal - we must discount to win" 
    "they decided to do nothing?" 
    If these lines sound familiar, then your sales team is stuck in the past. They are struggling to keep pace 
    with the market and will continue to stumble into the future. That's not to say you won't make your 
    numbers on occasion, but you can be guaranteed your company won't be the clear leader in its market. 
    This creates distrust with your sales team and that uneasy feeling of not being sure you will meet your 
    targets. 
    Is there a better way? 
    After twenty years as a senior IT sales leader addressing this problem and demonstrating measurable 
    success across multiple organisations, Andrew Phillips knows there is. 
    CEO-Led Sales outlines The Right Model to revolutionise your sales process and dramatically improve 
    your confidence in the predictability of your sales numbers. This has to start from the top with you, the 
    CEO. 
    The process is a multi-year investment to transform your sales organisation. It's challenging, but the 
    results are consistent and the revenue reliable. Andrew Phillips invites you to take the next step and 
    discover the benefits of CEO-Led Sales.

    Delphine was 4 years old when her hell began.
    "We always promised each other, my Mom and I, that we would not talk about it anymore, that it was over. Except that after this promise, which I never broke, I had many bad times to go through. I was always trying to find out why I felt so bad about myself, why the fear of dying came over me again, as in childhood. I gradually became aware that this feeling of uneasiness probably came from the drifting in and out of hospitals that I had experienced from a very young age, from the way my mother manipulated me, from all this sadness, and these fears, all these emotions had been so well repressed for years. My mind doesn't want to remember but my body hasn't forgotten anything and was letting me know." 
    Munchhausen syndrome by proxy is a severe form of child abuse in which the adult caregiver deliberately causes serious and repeated health problems in the child before taking the child to a doctor. 
    Afterword by Dr. Stéphanie Dauver, child psychiatrist, who wrote her thesis on Munchhausen syndrome by proxy.

    Find out how to uncover the hidden talents, assets, and abilities in your neighborhood and bring them together to create a vibrant and joyful community. It takes a village! 
     
    We may be living longer, but people are more socially isolated than ever before. As a result, we are hindered both mentally and physically, and many of us are looking for something concrete we can do to address problems like poverty, racism, and climate change. What if solutions could be found on your very doorstep or just two door knocks away? 
     
    Cormac Russell is a veteran practitioner of asset-based community development (ABCD), which focuses on uncovering and leveraging the hidden resources, skills, and experience in our neighborhoods. He and John McKnight, the cooriginator of ABCD, show how anyone can discover this untapped potential and connect with his or her neighbors to create healthier, safer, greener, more prosperous, and welcoming communities. They offer a wealth of illustrative examples from around the world that will inspire you to explore your own community and discover its hidden treasures. 
     
    You will learn to take action on what you already deeply know-that neighborliness is not just a nice-to-have personal characteristic but essential to living a fruitful life and a powerful amplifier of community change and renewal.

    Becoming Kin - An Indigenous...

    The invented history of the Western world is crumbling fast, Anishinaabe writer Patty Krawec says, but we can still honor the bonds between us. Settlers dominated and divided, but Indigenous peoples won't just send them all "home." 
     
     
     
    Weaving her own story with the story of her ancestors and with the broader themes of creation, replacement, and disappearance, Krawec helps listeners see settler colonialism through the eyes of an Indigenous writer. Settler colonialism tried to force us into one particular way of living, but the old ways of kinship can help us imagine a different future. Krawec asks, What would it look like to remember that we are all related? How might we become better relatives to the land, to one another, and to Indigenous movements for solidarity? Braiding together historical, scientific, and cultural analysis, Indigenous ways of knowing, and the vivid threads of communal memory, Krawec crafts a stunning, forceful call to "unforget" our history. 
     
     
     
    This remarkable sojourn through Native and settler history, myth, identity, and spirituality helps us retrace our steps and pick up what was lost along the way: chances to honor rather than violate treaties, to see the land as a relative rather than a resource, and to unravel the history we have been taught.

    The Fly Girls Revolt - The Story...

    In 1993, U.S. women earned the right to fly in combat, but the full story of how it happened is largely unknown. The Fly Girls Revolt chronicles the actions of a band of women who overcame decades of discrimination and prevailed against bureaucrats, chauvinists, anti-feminists, and even other military women. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on extensive research, interviews with women who served in the 1970s and 1980s, and her personal experiences in the Air Force, Eileen Bjorkman weaves together a riveting tale of the women who fought for the right to enter combat and be treated as equal partners in the U.S. military. 
     
     
     
    Although the military had begun training women as aviators in 1973, by a law of Congress they could not fly in harm's way. Time and again when a woman graduated at the top of her pilot training class, a less-qualified male pilot was sent to fly a combat aircraft in her place. 
     
     
     
    Most of the women who fought for change between World War II and today would never fly in combat themselves, but they earned their places in history by strengthening the U.S. military and ensuring future women would not be denied opportunities solely because of their sex. The Fly Girls Revolt is their story.
