Kidnapping Of Edgardo Mortara Fti Bok
<p>Now filmed by Steven Spielberg, starring Mark Rylance as the Pope. The extraordinary story of how the Vatican's imprisonment of a six-year-old Jewish boy helped to bring about the collapse of the popes' worldly power in Italy. Bologna: nightfall, June 1858.</p><p>A knock sounds at the door of the Jewish merchant Momolo Mortara. Two officers of the Inquisition burst inside and seize Mortara's six-year-old son, Edgardo. As the boy is wrenched from his father's arms, his mother collapses.</p><p>The reason for his abduction: the boy had been secretly `baptized' by a family servant. According to papal law, the child is therefore a Catholic who can be taken from his family and delivered to a special monastery where his conversion will be completed. With this terrifying scene, prize-winning historian David I.</p><p>Kertzer begins the true story of how one boy's kidnapping became a pivotal event in the collapse of the Vatican as a secular power. The book evokes the anguish of a modest merchant's family, the rhythms of daily life in a Jewish ghetto, and also explores, through the revolutionary campaigns of Mazzini and Garibaldi and outside leaders like Napoleon III, the emergence of Italy as a modern national state. Moving and informative, The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara reads as both a thriller and an authoritative account of a moment that changed Europe forever.</p>

No Rules Rules Bok
<p>Hard work is irrelevant. Be radically honest. Adequate performance gets a generous severance.</p><p>And never, ever try to please your boss. These are some of the ground rules if you work at Netflix. They are part of a unique cultural experiment that explains how the company has transformed itself at lightning speed from a DVD mail order service into a streaming superpower - with 125 million fervent subscribers and a market capitalisation bigger than Disney.</p><p>Finally Reed Hastings, Netflix Chairman and CEO, is sharing the secrets that have revolutionised the entertainment and tech industries. With INSEAD business school professor Erin Meyer, he will explore his leadership philosophy - which begins by rejecting the accepted beliefs under which most companies operate - and how it plays out in practice at Netflix. From unlimited holidays to abolishing financial approvals, Netflix offers a fundamentally different way to run any organization, one far more in tune with a fast-paced world.</p><p>For anyone interested in creativity, productivity and innovation, the Netflix culture is something close to a holy grail. This book will make it, and its creator, fully accessible for the first time.</p>

What About Men? Bok
<p>As any feminist who talks about the problems of girls and women will know, the first question you will ever be asked is 'But what about MEN?' After eleven years of writing bestsellers about women and dismissing this question, having been very sure that the concerns of feminism and men are very different things, Caitlin Moran realised that this wasn't quite right, and that the problems of feminism are also the problems of, yes, men. So, what about men? Why do they only go to the doctor if their wife or girlfriend makes them? Why do they never discuss their penises with each other - but make endless jokes about their balls? What is porn doing for young men? Is their fondness for super-skinny jeans leading to an epidemic of bad mental health? Are men allowed to be sad? Are men allowed to lose? Have Men's Rights Activists confused 'power' with 'empowerment'? And is Jordan B Peterson just your mum - but with some mad theory about a lobster? In this book, Caitlin intends to answer all this and more - because if men haven't yet answered the question 'What About Men?', it's going to be down to a busy woman to do it.</p>

Animal Liberation Now Bok
<p><b>Now fully rewritten and entirely updated to reflect the pressing problems of today, <i>Animal Liberation Now</i> presents the definitive case for radically rethinking humanity's relationship with other animals</b><br/><br/>'Probably the single most influential document in the history of ... animal welfare' <i><b>Guardian</b></i><br/><br/>'Raises ethical questions that every human being should take to heart' <b>Yuval Noah Harari </b><br/><br/>In 1975, <i>Animal Liberation</i> started a worldwide movement when it revealed the abuse of animals in factory farms and laboratories. In the fifty years since, science has further vindicated Peter Singer's arguments about animal sentience, and the book has helped change the minds of millions. But the situation for animals has in many ways grown worse.<br/><br/>This revised edition, of which about two-thirds is entirely new, documents these and other developments, such as the impact of meat consumption on climate and the spread of dangerous new viruses. It refines its arguments in light of new evidence, equips the reader with fresh tools and advice, and shows us all the road ahead.<br/><br/>'<i>Animal Liberation Now</i> will motivate a new generation of readers who are resolutely committed to creating a just society for all' <b>Joaquin Phoenix</b><br/><br/>'The indispensable foundational text for the movement, new and updated' <b>J. M. Coetzee</b><br/><br/>'If I have to pick the book that had the most impact on me, I would say Peter Singer's <i>Animal Liberation</i>' <b>Jane Goodall</b><br/><br/><b>'One the most important books of the last 100 years</b>' <i>Ecologist</i></p>

Be Who You Are To Get What You Want Bok
<p><b>'Invaluable information ... that will help you show up as yourself - and leverage that to your advantage' - SUNNY HOSTIN</b><br/><br/><b>'[A] groundbreaking, powerful book' - TIFFANY ALICHE</b><br/><br/><b>'Essential advice for anyone who has felt underestimated in a negotiation' - DOUGLAS STONE</b><br/><br/>Negotiation can make the difference between success and failure, a win or a loss, a 'no' or a 'yes'. But what if you are coming up against a brick wall due to implicit prejudice or even outright discrimination?<br/><br/>Celebrated lawyer and mediator Damali Peterman leads a complete course in negotiation. Drawing on decades of training and experience as a negotiator in high-stakes situations, Peterman has developed successful strategies that will help you become the best communicator that you can be. She takes readers into the boardroom as well as out into real life, showing the application of negotiation and how everything is potentially up for discussion - from navigating a potential promotion to maximising the trade-in value of your car.<br/><br/>At every step, Peterman acknowledges that the unique way you show up in the world will impact your negotiations in all sorts of surprising ways ... and that this can, in fact, be a good thing. Because when you show up prepared and proud of who you are, you'll reap the rewards.<br/><br/><i>Be Who You Are to Get What You Want</i> is a masterclass in how to engage in effective, sympathetic and successful negotiation while retaining your identity.</p>
