The Business of Platforms: Strategy in the Age of Digital Competition, Innovation, and Power
A trio of experts on high-tech business strategy and innovation reveal the principles that have made platform businesses the most valuable firms in the world and the first trillion-dollar companies.
Managers and entrepreneurs in the digital era must learn to live in two worlds—the conventional economy and the platform economy. Platforms that operate for business purposes usually exist at the level of an industry or ecosystem, bringing together individuals and organizations so they can innovate and interact in ways not otherwise possible. Platforms create economic value far beyond what we see in conventional companies.
The Business of Platforms is an invaluable, in-depth look at platform strategy and digital innovation. Cusumano, Gawer, and Yoffie address how a small number of companies have come to exert extraordinary influence over every dimension of our personal, professional, and political lives. They explain how these new entities differ from the powerful corporations of the past. They also question whether there are limits to the market dominance and expansion of these digital juggernauts. Finally, they discuss the role governments should play in rethinking data privacy laws, antitrust, and other regulations that could reign in abuses from these powerful businesses.
Their goal is to help managers and entrepreneurs build platform businesses that can stand the test of time and win their share of battles with both digital and conventional competitors. As experts who have studied and worked with these firms for some thirty years, this book is the most authoritative and timely investigation yet of the powerful economic and technological forces that make platform businesses, from Amazon and Apple to Microsoft, Facebook, and Google—all dominant players in shaping the global economy, the future of work, and the political world we now face.

Trish Arnold: The Legacy of a Movement Training for Actors: The Legacy of Her Movement Training for Actors
A unique guide to Trish Arnold’s pioneering movement training for actors, focusing on both the context and the practice.Trish Arnold (1918 – 2017) was a pioneer in the field of movement, her work quietly influencing international theatre, film and drama school training. In stature, she stands alongside more famous movement practitioners such as Jacques Le Coq, Rudolf Laban and Litz Pisk.
As the first and only recorded collection of her work, this book offers the reader a clear and concise explanation of movements developed by Arnold throughout her career and looks at where these came from and how they have been passed on to the next generation of practitioners.
The book documents Trish Arnold’s journey into theatre from a classical ballet background and is supplemented throughout by beautiful illustrations of her movements by Ben John, original notes and sketches of Arnold’s, and quotes from fellow movement director Jane Gibson, Arnold’s first apprentice, as well as teacher of voice production Kristin Linklater, whose voice work was hugely influenced by Arnold’s movements.
Through this book, we come to understand the foundations of Arnold’s practice – both its origins and how to implement it – and its legacy in theatre making today.

The Clapham Train Accident: Causes, Context and the Corporate Memory Challenge
Clapham was a pivotal point in British railway history. Much technology had been invented and applied to accident prevention by 1988; much more was to come. The Clapham Train Accident considers Clapham in its wider context, using official reports and expert interviews to describe both the causes and the terrible effects. It looks beyond the railway to the external factors acting not only on British Rail, but also the government of the time, and considers the safety improvements that came about as a result. Finally, the book brings the story up to date and looks at why the lessons learned over thirty years ago still need to be retained in an industry where the baton of safety is all-too-easily dropped during re-organisation, re-branding and after the departure of those who lived through darker days to make ours shine more brightly. The concatenation of events, the errors, the reorganisations, the financial constraints, that led to Clapham could happen to any business in any industry. On the morning of 12 December 1988, they happened to the railway. The Clapham Train Accident will act as a cautionary tale for safety practitioners old and new, not just in rail, but also other safety critical industries. It will help readers think actions through to all consequences, helping them too to make safer decisions, particularly when changing a system, technology or method of workingRead more

The Classic Car Spotters’ Guide: What to See at Britain’s Car Shows
Not so many years ago most of the cars featured in this book were familiar sights on Britain’s roads. Now, the remaining examples – the ones that weren’t crashed, bashed, thrashed, stolen or scrapped – are reminders of simpler times and simpler technology.
During Britain’s spring and summer, thousands of owners polish their cherished motors before driving them to classic car shows and lining them up for inspection by an adoring public. Cars that were once seen so often they blended into the street furniture are now rare enough to rub fenders with the more obvious classics of the age. There are 1.5 million older motors that are still regularly driven around Britain today, and The Classic Car Spotters’ Guide takes you through more than fifty prime examples, from Ford Cortinas and Austin 1100s to Borgward Isabellas and Austin Nash Metropolitans.

The Closed Circle: An Interpretation of the Arabs (Edward Burlingame Book)
This important book explains how Arabs are closed in a circle defined by tribal, religious, and cultural traditions. David Pryce-Jones examines the tribal forces which, he believes, “drive the Arabs in their dealings with each other and with the West.” In the postwar world, he argues, the Arabs reverted to age-old tribal and kinship structures, a closed circle from which they have been unable to escape, and in which violence is systemic. “A healthy corrective, a thought-provoking study.”―David K. Shipler, New York Times Book Review.Read more

The Clot Thickens: The enduring mystery of heart disease
“Malcolm Kendrick’s masterly survey of the enduring mystery of heart disease reads like a detective story. With great verve he marshals the evidence for the two main contending theories, exonerates the presumed suspect and makes a formidable case for thrombogenesis (blood clotting) as the perpetrator. Witty, provocative and entertaining, ‘The Clot Thickens’ packs a powerful scientific punch. Highly recommended.”
Dr James Le Fanu
Doctor, journalist, author of ‘The Rise and Fall of Modern Medicine.’“Malcolm Kendrick’s new book brings to mind the quote from Thomas Huxley when he first learned of Darwin’s theory of evolution: ‘how extremely stupid (of me) not to have thought of that’. What Kendrick presents is nothing less than a unifying theory of heart disease, that explains why everything from sickle cell disease to diabetes to a stressful lifestyle increases cardiovascular risk (and he does it with a large dollop of humour). After decades stuck in the blind alley that is the LDL hypothesis, this book is a revelation. It should be read by anyone with even a slight interest in understanding heart disease and what they can do to protect themselves from it.”
Dr Sebastian Rushworth
M.D. SwedenThis is a 150-year detective story with a cast of unrecognised heroes who may, finally, become known for their work on the true causes of heart disease. Exploring the truth about cholesterol – the apparently tried, and convicted, cause of millions of deaths from heart disease – with billions spent each year on lowering cholesterol with diet and drugs.
Is it possible that our villain was simply left holding the gun whilst the true culprits ran and hid? Have they escaped our clutches?
Dr Kendrick also introduces us to a range of other lesser known characters in this tale of selective reporting, data manipulation and intrigue. The true story of heart disease is out there, and the evidence has been brought together here – a scientific mystery for our time that is ready to unfold.

The Cloud Computing Book: The Future of Computing Explained
This latest textbook from bestselling author, Douglas E. Comer, is a class-tested book providing a comprehensive introduction to cloud computing. Focusing on concepts and principles, rather than commercial offerings by cloud providers and vendors, The Cloud Computing Book: The Future of Computing Explained gives readers a complete picture of the advantages and growth of cloud computing, cloud infrastructure, virtualization, automation and orchestration, and cloud-native software design.
The book explains real and virtual data center facilities, including computation (e.g., servers, hypervisors, Virtual Machines, and containers), networks (e.g., leaf-spine architecture, VLANs, and VxLAN), and storage mechanisms (e.g., SAN, NAS, and object storage). Chapters on automation and orchestration cover the conceptual organization of systems that automate software deployment and scaling. Chapters on cloud-native software cover parallelism, microservices, MapReduce, controller-based designs, and serverless computing. Although it focuses on concepts and principles, the book uses popular technologies in examples, including Docker containers and Kubernetes. Final chapters explain security in a cloud environment and the use of models to help control the complexity involved in designing software for the cloud.
The text is suitable for a one-semester course for software engineers who want to understand cloud, and for IT managers moving an organization’s computing to the cloud.

The Coach’s Guide to Teaching
The mark of a great coach is a constant desire to learn and grow. A hunger to use whatever can make them better.
The best-selling author of Teach Like a Champion and Reading Reconsidered brings his considerable knowledge about the science of classroom teaching to the sports coaching world to create championship caliber coaches on the court and field. What great classroom teachers do is relevant to coaches in profound ways. After all, coaches are at their core teachers.
Lemov knows that coaches face many of the same challenges found in the classroom, so the science of learning applies equally to them. Unfortunately, coaches and organizations have a mixed level of understanding of the research and study of the science of learning. Sometimes coaches and organizations build their teaching on myths and platitudes more than science. Sometime there isn’t any science applied at all.
While there are thousands of books and websites a coach can consult to better understand technical and tactical aspects of the game, there is nothing for a coach to consult that explicitly examines the teaching problems on the field, the court, the rink, and the diamond. Until now.
Intended to offer lessons and guidance that are applicable to coaches of any sporting endeavor including everyone from parent volunteers to professional coaches and private trainers, Lemov brings the powerful science of learning to the arena of sports coaching to create the next generation of championship caliber coaches.

The Cold War
A brilliantly arresting historical work, John Lewis Gaddis’s The Cold War takes us as never before to the time when the world stood on the brink of destruction.
In 1945 war came to an end. But a whole new terror was only just beginning…
Here is the truth behind every spy thriller you’ve read: why America and the Soviet Union became locked in a deadly stalemate; how close we came to nuclear catastrophe; what was really going on in the minds of leaders from Stalin to Mao Zedong, Ronald Reagan to Mikhail Gorbachev, how secret agents plotted and East German holidaymakers helped the Berlin Wall fall. It is a story of crisis talks and subterfuge, tyrants and power struggles – and of ordinary people changing the course of history.

The College Cookbook: 101 Simple, Cheap and Healthy Recipes with QR Code Video Demonstrations
Includes 101 simple, cheap, and delicious recipes anyone can make!
This cookbook has videos; how?
As a current college student, I understand how the average student operates in the kitchen. Most students have little to no cooking knowledge. This is why I have made a unique cookbook with QR code videos that go with the recipes.
What are QR code Video Demonstrations?
When the average student reads a recipe from a cookbook, they might understand how to do 80 percent of the steps; however, some of the directions can be complicated and confusing.
This is exactly why I have added over 50 QR code video demonstrations. Scanning the QR code will take you to a youtube video I created, showing you exactly how to make the recipe.
Nutrition Guide
Making a cookbook that is extremely easy to follow was important to me, but being the health nut I am, I also cover the nutrition aspect of cooking in extreme detail.
Each recipe has its own nutrition label, where you can see things like how many calories come from each separate ingredient and the macronutrient breakdown of the full meal.
Various aspects of nutrition are covered so each student understands how to attain their specific nutrition and health goals.
This is an all-in-one cookbook that will cover everything a college student needs, from cooking tips and tricks to a full-on nutrition guide.

I guess he’s good-looking, with his baby-blue eyes, amazing hockey-player physique, and boyish smile… if you’re into that.
Which I’m totally not.
Our moms are besties, and they’ve been planning our engagement since we were little kids.
I’m so over it…
He’s an arrogant athlete that goes through girls like Kleenex,and his teammates agree that he’s incapable of a relationship.
My roommate comes up with the perfect plan: fake date each other to get our parents and his team off our backs.
I guess we do have something in common: wanting to prove everyone else wrong.
Now everyone is talking about my post-game congratulatory kiss instead of his game-winning goal.
We’re fooling everyone on campus plus our families, and I gotta say, I don’t hate it.
Turns out the hardest part isn’t faking feelings for him…
It’s trying to hide my true ones.

Off-Limits Grumpy Player
Two things I’m gonna do at college: land an internship, and lose my virginity.
I just didn’t expect it to be with my brother’s best friend.
But the way he swings his hockey stick around as the captain of the team has me seeing stars.
He may be a bad-tempered hockey player with everyone else, but he’s always had a soft spot for me.
He and my brother have been inseparable since they were kids, so we’ve basically grown up together.
He’s been to all my birthday parties, and I’ve never missed a single one of his games.
Every inch of his chiseled body is etched on my brain, and I could trace his arm tattoos with my eyes closed.
Not that I’d ever try.
We would never want to hurt my brother.
But, does it count if he has no idea?
Now that we’re at college together — with, ahem, our own dorm rooms — we have more privacy than ever before.
And there’s only one guy I want to lose it to.
One thing’s for sure: my brother can never find out.
◆◆◆
Surprise Baby for the Player
I didn’t realize I was hooking up with my student, but once I saw his hockey-player body, I couldn’t help myself.
If anyone finds out, I’ll be out of a job.
Unlike most college boys, he’s mature in all the right ways and completely knows how to turn on a woman.
All the dedication he’s shown on the ice is completely focused on me, and I gotta say… I don’t hate it.
I could’ve kept our affair a secret, but these two pink lines will change everything.
The question is: will the player be up for Team Baby?

The Commercial Determinants of Health
An accessible multidisciplinary overview for anyone seeking to understand the commercial determinants of healthOur health is largely shaped by the world around us―by the conditions in which we grow, work, and live. These conditions include the commercial determinants of health, the private sector activities which influence our physical and social environments, our available evidence and solutions, and even our discourse and understanding around key health and social issues.
Until recently, commercial determinants have remained largely absent from our conceptual understanding of the drivers of health. The scale of their potential impact necessitates a multidisciplinary and intersectional approach, but no book has yet explored the commercial impacts on health in their totality.
This pioneering volume sheds light on how commercial determinants shape health directly and indirectly through influencing policy, evidence, and discourse. Featuring original cross-sector research, The Commercial Determinants of Health draws on insights from a wide-ranging group of experts who introduce the commercial determinants of health and describe the proximal and distal pathways through which they affect population health. Each chapter further illustrates the health impact of commercial actors, including through multidisciplinary case studies ranging from tobacco to fossil fuels. Together, these essays seek to integrate new and emerging research across public health, economics, and policy to enrich our understanding and responses to the commercial determinants of health.

The Compassionate Mind Approach to Difficult Emotions: Using Compassion Focused Therapy
Emotions bring purpose, pleasure and meaning to our lives. However, for many people, they are synonymous with distress, pain and suffering. Anger and rage can wreck relationships and cause problems at work; anxiety can prevent us from socialising or engaging in things we would like to; sadness can feel overwhelming and never ending. These types of difficulties are often referred to as emotion regulation problems, and can prevent us from developing stable and happy relationships, communicating our needs, and flourishing.
This practical self-help book based on Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) will help you to take a new approach to managing difficult emotions. It outlines why we experience emotions, how they can be helpful but also how and why we can get in to struggles with them. It outlines the Compassionate Mind model, and guides you through a series of exercises that will help you to develop your compassion mind, and use this to develop more helpful emotion regulation strategies, and bring greater balance to your emotions.
