Because there are decisive behaviour and action patterns that characterise successful top managers and that distinguish them from other managers. First and foremost, interpersonal communication and interaction is of paramount importance: Does the manager succeed in inspiring and convincing other people with the power of rhetoric? Is it possible to secure one's own status and leadership role through appropriate strategies. After all, outstanding leadership is always a question of personality, values and attitude - and the effect on employees. This book shows what is important.

Manager or Coward? Lead Radically & Win
What this book can do for you: You support certified climate protection projects, receive compact information and checklists from experts (overview and press reviews in the book preview) as well as advice proven in practice, which leads step by step to success - also thanks to add-on.
Because courageous managers who are ready for change are rarely met: Those who belong to them usually carry their organization instead of letting it carry them. They encourage and empower people instead of dominating them. They work in teams instead of setting themselves apart from others. They inspire without exaggerating their claim to power. Those who lead courageously and radically seek long-term and sustainable success and not the quick kick. In short, they are perfectly suited for the modern VUCA world. This book shows how courageous radical leadership can succeed.

The Book Of Magic: A Collection Of Stories By Various Authors
An anthology celebrating the witches and sorcerers of epic fantasy-featuring stories by George R. R. Martin, Scott Lynch, Megan Lindholm, and many more!
Hot on the heels of Gardner Dozois's (Rogues, Old Venus) acclaimed anthology The Book of Swords comes this companion volume devoted to magic. How could it be otherwise? For every Frodo, there is a Gandalf...and a Saruman. For every Dorothy, a Glinda...and a Wicked Witch of the West. What would Harry Potter be without Albus Dumbledore...and Severus Snape?
Figures of wisdom and power, possessing arcane, often forbidden knowledge, wizards and sorcerers are shaped-or misshaped-by the potent magic they seek to wield. Yet though their abilities may be godlike, these men and women remain human...some might say all too human. Such is their curse. And their glory.
In these pages, seventeen of today's top fantasy writers-including award-winners K. J. Parker (The Two of Swords), Megan Lindholm (The Windsingers), John Crowley (The Deep), Tim Powers (Last Call), Liz Williams (Snake Agent), Elizabeth Bear (Eternal Sky Trilogy), George R.R. Martin (A Song of Ice and Fire), Kate Elliott (The Court of Fives Trilogy), Scott Lynch (The Republic of Thieves), and more-cast wondrous spells that thrillingly evoke the mysterious, awesome, and at times downright terrifying worlds where magic reigns supreme: worlds as far away as forever...and as near as next door.

Suddenly, he and Noor are back in the place where everything began - his grandfather's house. Jacob doesn't know how they escaped from V's loop to find themselves in Florida. But he does know one thing for certain: Caul has returned.
After a narrow getaway from a blood-thirsty hollow, Jacob and Noor reunite with Miss Peregrine and the peculiar children in Devil's Acre. The Acre is being plagued by desolations - weather fronts of ash and blood and bone - a terrible portent of Caul's amassing army.

The Age of Anxiety
The Age of Anxiety is a great rock novel, but that is one of the less important things about it. The narrator is a brilliant creation - cultured, witty and unreliable. The novel captures the craziness of the music business and displays Pete Townshend's sly sense of humour and sharp ear for dialogue.
First conceived as an opera, The Age of Anxiety deals with mythic and operatic themes including a maze, divine madness and long-lost children. Hallucinations and soundscapes haunt this novel, which on one level is an extended meditation on manic genius and the dark art of creativity.

The Science of Can and Cant
A luminous guide to how the radical new science of counterfactuals can reveal the full scope of our universe
There is a vast class of properties, which science has so far neglected, that relate not only to what is true - the actual - but to what could be true: the counterfactual. This is the science of can and can't.
A pioneer in the field, Chiara Marletto explores the extraordinary promise that this revolutionary approach holds for confronting existing technological challenges, from delivering next-generation processors to designing AI. But by contemplating the possible as well as the actual, Marletto goes deeper still, showing how counterfactuals can break down barriers to knowledge and form a more complete, abundant and rewarding picture of the universe itself.

Én, Ozzy
"A buli nagyszerűen alakult. A nagy kéz hibátlanul működött, és már a törpét is felakasztottuk.
Aztán egyszer csak felrepült a színpadra az a denevér a közönség soraiból.
Nyilván egy játék - gondoltam, így hát felemeltem a fénybe, és eszelősen rávicsorogtam, miközben Randy szólózott. A nézők teljesen beindultak.
Aztán azt tettem, amit máskor is, ha gumijátékot dobtak a színpadra.
HAMM.
De rögtön éreztem, hogy valami baj van. Nagy baj.
Kezdjük ott, hogy a szám azonnal megtelt valami meleg, nyúlós folyadékkal, aminek az elképzelhető legrosszabb utóíze volt. Éreztem, hogy összekeni a fogaimat, és végigcsorog az államon.
Aztán összerándult a számban a fej.
Ó, bassza meg - gondoltam. Csak nem ettem meg egy kibaszott denevért... ugye, nem?
Kiköptem a fejet, elnéztem oldalra, és megláttam Sharont. Dülledt szemmel hadonászott, és azt sikoltozta:
- NEEEEEEEEEEE, OZZY! EZ IGAZI, EZ IGAZI!"

For years the Garde have fought the Mogadorians in secret. Now all of that has changed. The invasion has begun.
If the Garde can't find a way to stop the Mogs, humanity will suffer the same fate as the Lorien: annihilation.
There is still hope. When the Elders sent the Garde to Earth, they had a plan-one which the Garde are finally starting to understand. A group of the Garde travelled to an ancient pyramid in Mexico known to their people as the Sanctuary. There they awoke a power that had been hidden within our planet for generations.
Now this power can save the world . . . or destroy it.
It will all depend on who wields it.

Negotiating is something that we all do, whether at work or at home. But what if we come across someone who just won't give in? How can we defend ourselves against manipulation? And how do we say 'no' without compromising a deal?

A (Very) Short History of Life On Earth
For billions of years, Earth was an inhospitably alien place - covered with churning seas, slowly crafting its landscape by way of incessant volcanic eruptions, the atmosphere in a constant state of chemical flux. And yet, despite facing literally every conceivable setback that living organisms could encounter, life has been extinguished and picked itself up to evolve again. Life has learned and adapted and continued through the billions of years that followed. It has weathered fire and ice. Slimes begat sponges, who through billions of years of complex evolution and adaptation grew a backbone, braved the unknown of pitiless shores, and sought an existence beyond the sea.
From that first foray to the spread of early hominids who later became Homo sapiens, life has persisted, undaunted. A (Very) Short History of Life is an enlightening story of survival, of persistence, illuminating the delicate balance within which life has always existed, and continues to exist today. It is our planet like you've never seen it before.
Life teems through Henry Gee's lyrical prose - colossal supercontinents drift, collide, and coalesce, fashioning the face of the planet as we know it today. Creatures are engagingly personified, from 'gregarious' bacteria populating the seas to duelling dinosaurs in the Triassic period to magnificent mammals with the future in their (newly evolved) grasp. Those long extinct, almost alien early life forms are resurrected in evocative detail. Life's evolutionary steps - from the development of a digestive system to the awe of creatures taking to the skies in flight - are conveyed with an alluring, up-close intimacy.
'A dazzling, beguiling story . . . told at an exhilarating pace' Literary Review
'Henry Gee makes the kaleidoscopically changing canvas of life understandable and exciting. Who will enjoy reading this book? - Everybody!' Jared Diamond, author of Guns, Germs, and Steel
