The Crux
The most important part of a leader's job is to set in motion the actions today that will build a better future tomorrow - in other words, strategy. But how do leaders become strategists?
In this ground-breaking book, Richard Rumelt, the world's leading authority on strategy, shows how finding the crux of a challenge is the essence of the strategist's skill. The crux is the key issue where action will best pay off, and Rumelt reveals how to pinpoint it so you can focus energy on what really matters. Drawing on decades of professional and academic experience, and through vivid storytelling of some of the most important business decisions of recent times, Rumelt illuminates how leaders can overcome obstacles, navigate uncertainty and determine the best path forward.
Strategy is not about setting financial targets, statements of desired outcomes, or performance goals, it is about finding the crux and taking decisive, coherent action.
Joel Meyerowitz: Redheads
It was in 1978, during my first summer of making portraits while using an 8x10 inch large format camera, that I found myself drawn to photographing redheads.
I have often been asked; 'why redheads,' and I've often felt it was because in summer redheads seem to bloom in the sun more gloriously than the rest of us. But it also might have been my living far out on the tip of Cape Cod, surrounded by all the blue light of sea and sky, which made me pay more attention to the flamboyant qualities of redheads. Their hair and the exotic markings of their skin in sunlight became even rosier and more astonishing in that blue atmosphere.
Redheads, like film itself, are transformed by sunlight. It seems natural to me now that I would have paid attention to this new phenomenon as it appeared within the larger subject of the Cape itself. After making more than 50 portraits that first month, in which at least 30 were of redheads, I understood that this was an impulse to be taken seriously.
I ran an ad in the local paper, the Provincetown Advocate: "REMARKABLE PEOPLE! If you are a redhead or know someone who is, I'd like to make your portrait, call...." They began coming to my deck, bringing with them their courage and their shyness, their curiosity and their dreams, and they shared their stories of what it was like to be a redhead. They spoke of the painful remembrances of childhood, the violations of privacy and name calling-"Hey, red," "freckle face," "carrot head." They also shared with me their sense of personal victory at having overcome this early, unwanted celebrity, and how like giants or dwarfs or athletes they had finally grown into their specialness and by surviving had been ennobled by it. You could say that they had been baptized by their own fire, and that their shared experience had formed a "blood knot" among them. I had begun making portraits with the intention of photographing ordinary people. But redheads are both ordinary and special.
Their slender slice of the genetic pie accounts for only 2 or 3 percent of the world's population. As different as redheads are in terms of nationality and religion, they often give the appearance of a strong familial connection.

Depeche Mode - Video Singles Collection 3DVD
Depeche Mode's Video Singles Collection, the Iconic Group's First-Ever Career-Spanning Anthology of Groundbreaking Music Films, to be Released by SONY Music Entertainment on November 18
Definitive Depeche Mode Video Library Presents the Group's Original Music Video Singles--from 1981 to 2013--in a 3DVD DigiPak
Depeche Mode's Video Singles Collection -- the definitive 3DVD library anthology containing more than four hours of the post-punk pioneers' groundbreaking music videos (and two-plus hours of audio commentary) -- will be released by SONY Music Entertainment on November 18, 2016.
Video Singles Collection is the first official Depeche Mode archival title to be released under the SONY imprimatur since SME acquired rights to the DM catalog in July 2015.
"We're pleased and honored to be releasing Depeche Mode's Video Singles Collection, an essential addition to the band's recently licensed catalog documenting their lasting contributions to music video history," said Richard Story, President Commercial Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment.
The 3DVD set presents more than three decades worth of Depeche Mode's international hit singles as lensed for the group's mind-blowing progression of innovative and provocative music videos directed by a who's who of cinematic visionaries including Julien Temple, Anton Corbijn, D.A. Pennebaker, John Hillcoat and others.
Throughout Depeche Mode's career, the group has placed an essential emphasis on the quality of their videos, collaborating with world-class directors and crews on some of the most influential and powerful short films in music video history.
"Videos have always played an essential part in how we wanted to present Depeche Mode's music to the world," agreed the members of the band. "It's been amazing to go back and relive all the experiences and memories these videos evoke after all these years. It's incredible to have all our videos finally together in one place and we're hoping our fans enjoy this journey through time as much as we did."
Video Singles Collection is the first in a series of band-approved retrospective projects examining Depeche Mode's extraordinary career and effect on pop culture and marks the first time that DM's video singles--from 1981 to 2013--have been compiled together in a single anthology.
The set includes 55 newly restored versions of the essential video singles in the DM canon in addition to four rare alternate videos and new commentary on specific individual clips, recorded by members of Depeche Mode especially for this release.

Edward Weston: The Form of the Nude (Monographs)
Born in Illinois in 1886, Edward Weston opened a studio in California in 1911 where he achieved success as a commercial photographer, making portraits in the popular soft-focus, pictorialist style of the time. By the early 1920s, Weston had become dissatisfied with these 'false', retouched and manipulated images, and after meeting Alfred Stieglitz, Paul Strand and Charles Sheeler in 1922, began to adopt a more straightforward, realistic style of photography. In 1922 Weston took photographs of the Armco Steelworks in Ohio and his break with pictorialism is evident in the simplicity and clarity of his sharply focused image of a row of smokestacks. The following year, Weston moved to Mexico where he continued to experiment with 'straight photography' in a series of nude studies of Tina Modotti, his lover and collaborator over the next few years. Modotti introduced him to the artists Diego Rivera and Jose Clemente Orozco who influenced Weston to develop his modernist style. In the later 1920s and 30s Weston worked on his well-known series of close-up still lifes which included abstract, formally precise images of shells, peppers and artichokes and other natural forms. Photographing on a large format camera with exposures of up to four hours and with only natural light, Weston's preoccupation with form and pattern is also evident in his nude studies (particularly of his second wife Charis Wilson) and in his landscapes. In 1937, Weston embarked on a period of sustained work on the American West enabled by the award of a Guggenheim grant - the first ever awarded to a photographer. Weston continued to concentrate on broad, dramatic landscapes towards the end of his life and took his last photographs at Point Lobos in 1948, two years after developing Parkinson's Disease. Edward Weston died at home on January 1, 1958. The essay by Amy Conger concentrates on the relationship between Edward Weston's nudes and his work in other genres (particularly the still-life). Throughout the book, the juxtaposition of Weston's still-lifes and landscapes with his various nude studies highlights the continuities which are evident in Weston's photography - regardless of the subject matter - and which Conger attributes to Weston's overwhelming interest in form. This new approach to Weston's work, illustrated with many beautiful and striking images, makes this book not only an introduction to Weston's photography, but also of interest to the specialist.
A halál színpadán
Vitéz Szilágyi Lajossal Budán, tízemeletes bérház tizedik emeletén beszélgetünk az életéről, a magyar sorsról. A lakás tele életmű maradványokkal, albumok, a színészet relikviái, a vitézi élet dokumentumainak töredékei. Sietősen váltjuk a szót, gondolnunk kell gyorsan fogyóé letünkre, erre az egyetlen, nagy kalandra. Kiterítjük a magunkkal cipelt magyar történelmet. Néha meg is könnyezzük. – Neked hol kezdődött a nagy kaland, Lajos bátyám? – Az én életemnek tulajdonképpen 1943 a kezdete, mert akkor tettem előadóművészi vizsgát a Magyar Királyi Színművészeti Kamaránál, akkor avatott Horthy vitézzé, és akkor kerültem a Szegedi Színház tagjai sorába, mint ösztöndíjas színész. Várományosként avattak vitézzé, ez annyit jelentett, hogy az édesapám I. világháborús érdeme alapján rám, mint elsőszülött fiára kiterjesztették ezt a címet. Egy évvel később magam is rászolgáltam, mert (Szegedről vonultam be katonai szolgálatra, és) kitűnőre minősített katona lettem. – Harcoltál a felszabadítók ellen? Akkor szépen megjutalmaztak – mondom nem kis iróniával. – Tulajdonképpen 1945. január 18-ig harcoltam a szovjet hadsereg ellen, és utána két fogságból sikerült megszöknöm, úgy hogy Budapestről nem tudtak elvinni. Elfogtak kétszer az oroszok, először január 26-án, de sikerült megszöknöm, azt hiszem, február kilencedikén. Budapesten különböző centrumokba gyűjtötték össze a csoportokat, akiket foglyul ejtettek, köztük rengeteg olyan ember is volt, aki soha életében nem volt katona. Először az Alsóerdő-sor utcai biliárd terembe vittek, ahonnan sikerült megszöknöm, majd ismét elfogtak és a Szondi sörözőbe vittek, ahol több fogolytársammal együtt, éjjel-nappal az oda érkező lőszeres kocsikról hordtuk a lőszert le és fel. Szerencsémre a gimnáziumban az atlétikai versenyeken 100 méteres síkfutásban 11,7 másodpercet futottam, amely abban az időben kitűnő eredménynek számított, hiszen Csányi Gyurka – a későbbi olimpikon – 1941-ben az ifjúsági bajnokságot 11,5-ös eredménnyel nyerte meg. A gyorsaságomnak köszönhető, hogy egyik alkalommal sem tudtak Gödöllőre vagy Ceglédre, a nagyobb gyűjtőtáborokba vinni. Megúsztam ezt a részét a háborúnak, de február 28-án letartóztatott az ÁVÓ, akkori nevén Politikai Rendészeti Osztály, és az Andrássy út 60-ba vittek. Ott másfél hónapig voltam, rettenetes körülmények között. Vérhast kaptam. – Akkor éppen kiket kínoztak Péter Gábor legényei? – Zadravecz püspök úrral együtt voltam, Muráti Lilivel és férjével, Vaszary Gáborral. Muráti Lilit korábban személyesen nem ismertem. Orlai Csepi is ott volt, a híres Csepi zenekarnak a dirigense, aki kitűnő dobos is volt. Borzasztóan megkínozták, de annyira megkínozták, hogy utána évekig kezelésre szorult. Megverték a kezeit. Úgy neveztük az őrséget, hogy debreceni gyász-magyarok, mert fekete ruhába öltöztetett fiatal parasztgyerekek voltak, akiknek beadták azt, hogy ezek fasiszták, ezek tették tönkre az országot. Szóval, szabvány mese volt már akkor is. – Vertek benneteket? – Volt olyan nap, hogy hat-nyolc halottat vittem fel a kiskocsira, egy négy-kerekű, emberek által vontatott kiskocsira. Félig az agyonverés, félig pedig a vérhas aratott közöttünk. Tele voltunk tetűvel. Férfiak, nők vegyesen feküdtünk a Csengeri utca és az Andrássy út által 3 határolt pincében, összezsúfolva, mint a heringek. Nem tudom azóta sem elfelejteni, pedig ennek már 56 éve, annyi kegyetlenséget láttam ott. 1945. április elején bűntény hiányában helyeztek szabadlábra. 1949-ig, úgy gondoltam, hogy azért volt ez a rettenetes kegyetlenség, mert a nyomozók – akiknek többsége zsidó volt – így bosszulták meg az előzőleg családjukat ért fájdalmakat, bántalmakat, ezért ütötték, verték és kínozták a nekik kiszolgáltatott fogva tartottakat. A kínzások következtében sokan meghaltak. Az is megtörtént, hogy valakit kidobtak az ablakon, de azt terjesztették, hogy az illető az „igazságszolgáltatás el

A takarékos milliomos képző
Ez látszólag egy könyv, de életed legjobb befektetése!
Önmagad lenni és hű maradni ahhoz az emberhez, aki vagy, azaz a valós, igazi énedhez nagy kihívás napjainkban, különösen, ha fiatal felnőttként, a nagybetűs élet küszöbén állva keményen dolgozol és vágyod az anyagi szabadság elérését. Létezik-e valamilyen varázslatos szellemiség, ami az úgynevezett vállalkozói gondolkodásmódot jelenti, vagy van-e egyáltalán még valami felfedezhető napjainkban a takarékosság útján? Te mit keresel egyáltalán, amikor az anyagi szabadságról beszélünk? Le tudnád írni, ha megkérnélek rá? Ha most, "Nem" a válaszod, ne aggódj, nem vagy vele egyedül.
Rengeteg könyv kínálja a gyors és azonnali receptet az anyagilag függetlenné és sikeressé váláshoz, de senki sem tudja garantálni neked, hogy valaha eljutsz oda. A csapda ott rejlik, pontosabban az oka az, hogy a pénzügyi-tanácsadó piac által kínált könyvek többsége főleg arra koncentrál, hogy miként válhatsz azonnal gazdaggá, tehetőssé, jómódúvá, milliomossá vagy fejezzük is ki bárhogy. Tehát egy nagyon fontos lépést elfelejtenek neked elmondani arról, honnan kezd, ha a béka feneke alatt vagy jelenleg. Én nem fogok neked zsákbamacskát árulni, és hiszem azt, hogy nem is vágysz rá. Ez a könyv onnan indul el, hogy összerakjuk az alapokat a fejedben, ami a pénzügyi szabadsághoz szükséges, vagy ha egy téglát még nem ismersz beépíthesd a képzeletbeli alapzatodba, és egészen a tetőig fogunk építkezni együtt.
Ki merem mondani: Könyvek tömege és tanácsadók tömkelege nem koncentrál olyan alapvető életmódbeli döntésekre, amelyeket meg kell hoznod annak érdekében, hogy anyagilag függetlenné válhass. Ez az igazság.
A mindennapi élet mókuskerekében nem könnyű kitalálni, hogyan lehet pénzügyi sikert elérni - voltaképpen a siker teljesen más dolgot jelent, még két legjobb barát számára is. A pozitív gondolkodásmód viszont alapvető a céljaid elérésében és a sorsod megteremtésében, de az életednek számos más létfontosságú része és tényezője van, amelyeket kezelni, tervezni és folyamatosan fejleszteni kell, hogy anyagilag jobb helyzetbe kerülj, ha ez a vágyad.
Szívből ajánlom ezt a könyvet mindazoknak a nagy célokat kitűző fiataloknak, akik már felnőtt életük elején szeretnék kézben tartani a pénzügyi sorsuk irányítását, kerülni a legjelentősebb anyagi hibákat, és vagyont akarnak építeni. Akkor sem kell megrémülni, ha ""MUNKABÉRES"" állásod van, mert ezt a könyvet ugyan olyan jól fogod tudni használni, ha van egy főnököd, mintha már a magad ura vagy és saját vállalkozást vezetsz. Ez a könyv a valós életről szól, mindenféle cicoma nélkül elmondom az anyagi függetlenség lépései felé vezető utat. Kérlek tudd, hogy a jelenlegi bevételed nem ellened dolgozik, hanem ha jól használod, akkor neked, még ha most ezt nem is látod be.
Az idősebb generációknak és a nálam tapasztaltabb embereknek is tisztelettel ajánlom ezt a könyvet, akik nem félnek meghallgatni egy fiatal takarékos nő valós élettapasztalatait a milliomossághoz vezető útján.
Arra kérlek téged kedves olvasóm, hogy légy nyitott gondolkodású, és élvezd az időt, amit ennek a könyvnek az olvasásával töltesz. Remélem, hogy munkámat hasznosnak és erőt adónak találod, és a fejlődésed útján arra fog majd ösztönözni, hogy belépj a pénzügy világába, mégpedig tudatosan.
Azoknak, akik épp úgy érzik, hogy mélyen vannak, nincs kilátás az életükben, perspektíva a szemük előtt, sőt az életük üres és minden napot egy fájdalomként élnek meg, itt vagyok, hogy segítsek továbblépni az élet rögös pénzügyi és más útjain.
Ezzel az új lökettel és külföldről hozott tudással foglak átsegíteni a mélyponton, sőt mélypontokon, mert a fejlődés útjá

Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret
Meet Margaret. She's going through all the same things most teenage girls have to face; fitting in, friendship and first bras.
Life isn't easy for Margaret. She's moved away from her childhood home, she's starting a new school, finding new friends – and she's convinced she's not normal.
For a start she hasn't got a clue whether she wants to be Jewish like her father or Christian like her mother. Everyone else seems really sure of who they are.
And, worst of all, she's a 'late developer'. She just knows that all her friends are going to need a bra before she does. It's too embarrassing to talk to her parents about these things.
So she talks to God instead – and waits for an answer...

Mám na to
Nejedného z nás dnes trápi finančná neistota a to bez ohľadu na sumu, aká sa nám mesačne pripisuje na účet. Máme pocit, akoby na nás svet kričal: „Nemáš dosť peňazí.“ Vnímame život cez prizmu nedostatku, vidíme len to, čo nevlastníme. Kvária nás otázky typu Môžem si to dovoliť? Nie je to plytvanie? Každý deň si odopierame pôžitky v dobrej viere, že sa vďaka tomu budeme mať zajtra lepšie. V šetrení vidíme jediný spôsob, ako nahonobiť majetok. Ale ako zbohatnúť? Dá sa to vôbec?
Odpoveď nám ponúka Suh Yoon Lee, mladá, vzdelaná a nesmierne empatická žena, ktorá radila vo financiách najbohatším Kórejčanom a zakladateľom veľkých korporácií. Áno, každý sa môže stať bohatým a to vďaka nenáročnej metóde, ktorú nám spolu s novinárkou Jooyun Hongovou odkrývajú v tejto knihe. Spoločne nám vysvetlia, ako otvoriť dvere prosperite, vytvoriť si pozitívny vzťah k peniazom a nabehnúť na nový spôsob života. Základom je povedať si MÁM NA TO.

Ancestry
Almost two hundred years ago, Abraham, an illiterate urchin, scavenges on a Suffolk beach and dreams of running away to sea ... Naomi, a seventeen-year-old seamstress, imagines a new life in the big city ... George, a private soldier of the 50th Regiment of Food, marries his Irish bride, Annie, in the cathedral in Manchester and together they face married life under arms. Now these people exist only in the bare bones of registers and census lists but they were once real enough.
Simon Mawer puts flesh on our ancestors' bones to bring them to life and give them voice. There is birth and death; there is love, both open and legal but also hidden and illicit. Yet the thread that connects these disparate figures is something that they cannot have known - the unbreakable bond of family.
