Описание: Philanthro-capitalism: How charity became big business

The charitable sector is one of the fastest-growing industries in the global economy. Nearly half of the more than 85,000 private foundations in the United States have come into being since the year 2000. Just under 5,000 more were established in 2011 alone. This deluge of philanthropy has helped create a world where billionaires wield more power over education policy, global agriculture, and global health than ever before.

In No Such Thing as a Free Gift, author and academic Linsey McGoey puts this new golden age of philanthropy under the microscope--paying particular attention to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. As large charitable organizations replace governments as the providers of social welfare, their largesse becomes suspect. The businesses fronting the money often create the very economic instability and inequality the foundations are purported to solve. We are entering an age when the ideals of social justice are dependent on the strained rectitude and questionable generosity of the mega-rich.

Описание:

"I love every aspect of this amazing book--a genderfluid hero, a deadly contest, and vicious courtly intrigue. Get Read Now " --Tamora Pierce, #1 New York Times bestselling author

I needed to win. They needed to die.

Sallot Leon is a thief, and a good one at that. But gender fluid Sal wants nothing more than to escape the drudgery of life as a highway robber and get closer to the upper-class--and the nobles who destroyed their home.

When Sal steals a flyer for an audition to become a member of The Left Hand--the Queen's personal assassins, named after the rings she wears--Sal jumps at the chance to infiltrate the court and get revenge.

But the audition is a fight to the death filled with clever circus acrobats, lethal apothecaries, and vicious ex-soldiers. A childhood as a common criminal hardly prepared Sal for the trials. And as Sal succeeds in the competition, and wins the heart of Elise, an intriguing scribe at court, they start to dream of a new life and a different future, but one that Sal can have only if they survive.

This heart-pounding YA story of magic, danger, and revenge is perfect for readers looking for:

• epic books for tweens and teens
• gay and lesbian fantasy and science fiction
• gripping stories with queer and gay magic and sorcery
• gender fluid representation and gender diversity
• dazzling world-building and relatable characters

Описание: I am the Druid Finally, I know what I am. The Druid of the Dragon Gods. The knowledge comes at a price, however. Two new golden tattoos have appeared on my arms, and they're blocking my magic. Magic that I need to survive. When two ancient druids show up at the Protectorate needing my help, it's obvious there's something big at play. A dangerous force has invaded the Celtic realm, and they say that only I can save it. I jump on the chance, and not just because I want to. If I can go to the Celtic realm, maybe I can learn more about what I am. Maybe I can save my magic. With the powerful shifter mage Lachlan at my side, we encounter a realm of extreme danger-and mystery. It's up to us to unravel it before the Celtic realm is destroyed and I lose my magic forever..

Описание:

In a world full of magic, hiding is the only way to survive.

I'm good at two things: finding treasure and killing demons. I'm a FireSoul, one of the unlucky few to inherit a piece of the dragon's soul. On the surface, the perks are sweet-I can find and steal any type of magical treasure, including the powers of other supernaturals.

But it doesn't come without a price-stealing powers requires that I kill, and others would destroy me if they discover what I am. So I lay low. Finding magical objects is the only ways to pay the bills, but it's a dangerous job when I can't use my magic.

When Aidan Merrick, the most powerful shifter in the city, hires me to find an ancient scroll, I don't want to take the job. His immense power reminds me of a past I can't remember, and he's way too hot for my sanity. One thing is clear-the shifter is dangerous. I should avoid him, but I can't. The scroll will reveal what I am. And if anyone finds out, I'm dead.

Ancient Magic is a fast-paced urban fantasy adventure starring a kick butt heroine, a powerful hero, and magic that will blow your socks off.

Описание:

So often we find ourselves head down, busy managing our jobs. Then one day we look up and realize we haven't been managing our career. Executive Recruiter and Career Coach Angee Linsey saw this pattern repeat as she talked to hiring leaders and candidates, who while successful, they were not being intentional in their career decisions. With her deep network of exceptional communications leaders, she set out to learn from the best. Through their discussions, she uncovered what they did to manage their career well, what they look for in those they hire and mentor, and most importantly the best advice they've received and the advice they share. Within this book she shares those insights along with her own perspectives to give mid-to-senior communications professionals information they can use to level up their career.
