Описание:

Bubbles has been making the most of his share of the pearl heist, running a highly successful diamond mine in South Africa. However, it has to be said, he sometimes misses the camaraderie of his old mates and life in London. On a flying visit home, he discovers that MI6 have his previous misdemeanours on their radar, and he finds himself strong-armed into undertaking a mission - ostensibly to serve his queen and country.

Tasked with befriending a high-ranking Chinese official in Hong Kong, with the assistance of a disturbingly attractive secret agent, Bubbles is soon embroiled in the murky world of gambling and political chicanery. He decides to call on his old London gang as back-up, but as they gather in the luxurious surroundings of a Macau casino, Bubbles starts to suspect that he is being set up and that the lovely Kim Li is not quite what she seems.

The fake Heart of Eternity diamond is the bait that will lure his target in, but when one of his best friends is shot, Bubbles must draw on all his resources to deceive and dispose of those who are out to harm them...

Описание:

Book lives at the library and desperately wants to go outside like the other books, but is intimidated by all the things that might happen 'out there'. A page might get torn. Book's cover might get dirty. Book might never be returned to the library

Meanwhile, little Emma loves visiting the library and delights in the many adventures to be had in the stories she finds there. When Emma meets Book, they find they are just what each other needs. Together, Book and Emma move out of their comfort zone to try new things, meet new people, and enjoy a fair few adventures -- climbing trees, laughing in the rain, and even cheering along at a football match

On their adventures, Book and Emma discover that 'out there' needn't be scary if you just take it one step at a time. A beautifully illustrated, inspirational tale, Scaredy Book shows the fun that is to be had when you stop letting worry hold you back. Children and parents alike will enjoy this story about being brave, taking risks, and living to tell the tale

Описание:

When Tabitha wakes up on the wrong side of the bed, she finds a big raincloud next to her taking up most of the space. Immediately, she knows it's going to be one of those yucky days when nothing seems to go right. But what if she doesn't have to let a raincloud spoil her day?

All morning, Tabitha tells the raincloud to go away, but it won't budge. At breakfast, the cloud rains all over her scrambled eggs. At school, she tries to draw a giraffe, but the raincloud distracts her and her art teacher compliments her on her dinosaur Aaagh By lunchtime, Tabitha is so stormy that none of her friends want to sit next to her.

With the raincloud refusing to leave, Tabitha suddenly realises that she needs to change her attitude. It's not the raincloud that's making her day unpleasant, but how she's choosing to react to it. So, Tabitha fetches her umbrella, raincoat and boots from her locker and starts dancing in the rain. It's not long before her friends join her and they're all having fun together

This is a story of resilience, choices, optimism and perseverance. It's a gentle reminder that we all have stormy days, but we'll get through them if we remember to keep looking on the bright side. And sometimes, we can bring the sunshine out a little bit faster if we dance in the rain

Описание: While some of today's workforce is made up of deep-rooted, dependable staff, a larger portion of roles are transitioning into revolving doors of employee turnover. This impacts levels of customer service, productivity and profitability. The only way for organizations to successfully and sustainably face the new realities of today's workforce and the evolution of employee expectations is through a deep understanding of how to effectively hire and manage shorter-term workers who have a different view of the workplace. This insightful, breakthrough book by Cara Silletto and contributing author Leah Brown is designed to help leaders at all levels discover exactly how our workforce has changed over time, why employers are struggling to keep talent and how to gain better staffing stability.

Business leaders know the workforce is changing, yet management strategies have been slow to respond to evolving employee expectations. In a world where employers are fighting to get newer staff to adhere to traditional standards, Staying Power explains how employees and candidates have an advantage over managers and supervisors with greater tenure and titles. Today, nearly all businesses are hiring, and staff have the choice to go elsewhere. The tidal wave of employees with a new mindset regarding loyalty, entitlement and cell phones cannot be stopped, but what leaders can and should do is get to know their new workforce, then build a place where people want to work.

Readers of Staying Power are offered insights that will drive big-picture thinking, new understanding about the mindset of today's workforce, and an opportunity to shift their attitudes about who they are hiring. Readers are also provided with tangible operational tools for immediately improving employee retention and profitability within their companies.

Readers will discover:

- Ways to dedicate more staffing resources to make retention a higher priority and stronger
component of the organizational culture - How to diagnose the real reasons staff leave (beyond pay)
- Common mistakes managers should avoid that unintentionally cause employee turnover
- Best practices for keeping new hires longer.

Silletto and Brown's book is a "how-to" for organizations that need to understand the tangible and intangible costs of excessive turnover, and that haven't yet learned to treat employees as internal customers. The book, peppered with memorable real-life stories, provides fresh insights and proprietary frameworks and tools in three key areas:

1. Understanding the evolution of our workforce by generation. A history and sociology lesson on Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X and Millennials that informs our perceptions of multi-generational workplaces and demonstrates what has shaped our various definitions of "professionalism."

2. The issues on the T.A.B.L.E. - those that cause the most conflict in the workplace. An exploration of how workers see technology, authority, work/life balance, loyalty and entitlement differently, and eye-opening real-life stories about divorce and credit card use in the 1980s explain how Millennials gained a different view of the employer/employee relationship.

3. Key areas where businesses can improve to become M.A.G.N.E.T. employers that successfully attract and retain talent. Thoughtful strategies and actionable tactics for improving Management Effectiveness (Communication & Appreciation), Attraction & Recruiting (Employer Brand & Application Processes), Guidance Upon Entry (Onboarding & Activation), New Staffing Models (Scheduling & Advancement), Empowered Champions (Staff Councils & Retention Specialists), and Trust through Transparency (Feedback & Setting Examples).

Staying Power reader bonus materials help leaders implement their new learning to take the experience from "great read" to "great results
