It is 1960 in Skowhegan, Maine. Libby Carlow is a precocious and curious sixteen-year-old who often wonders why she looks different than everyone else in her family. When an unexpected trip to Texas prompts Libby to meet an uncle she never knew existed, she has no idea of what lies ahead. It is soon revealed that Libby’s uncle Earle was a pilot, shot down during the Second World War and eluded capture by the Germans. As the reader is transported back to1944, Earle offers insight into his perilous journey over the Pyrenees, draws attention to the bravery of the men and women of the French Resistance, and highlights the heroism and friendships that existed among those missing in action, resistance fighters, locals, and within the Catholic Church. But it is not until tragedy strikes that the truth is finally revealed to Libby about her true identity. Many Shades of Blue is the extraordinary story of an American pilot’s experiences during the Second World War as the past collides with the present and answers a young woman’s questions about her birth.

La Práctica Del Liderazgo Gerencial

By: Nancy R. Lee

La prctica del liderazgo gerencial describe al conjunto integral de principios basados sobre conocimiento cientfico incluyente abarcador comprehensivo denominado La organizacin requerida, desarrollada por el Dr. Elliott Jaques y sus colegas mediante el trabajo de investigacin en consultora durante ms de 55 aos en 15 pases. Nancy Lee trabaj con el Dr. Jaques durante ms de 20 aos. Este libro est dirigido a gerentes en todos los niveles, y se refiere al rol gerencial, que es el punto en que ms se necesita contar con guas de accin claras para lograr las metas de la organizacin. La aplicacin de estas ideas tiene por efecto el incremento de la productividad y de la rentabilidad, consolida la confianza y brinda a los empleados un ambiente de trabajo sano, que promueve el desarrollo personal. Su pensamiento fue una reformulacin monumental de las bases de la capacidad humana y de la estructura de las organizaciones, que se refleja en treinta libros. Jaques no slo plante la existencia de ocho niveles diferenciados de pensamiento conceptual entre los seres humanos, sino que tambin elabor las curvas de ese pensamiento durante la vida adulta. A su vez, este desarrollo conceptual sent las bases para una nueva lgica de la estructura organizacional, un campo que hasta entonces haba carecido de esta lgica del liderazgo y de la respondibilidad en las organizaciones. El trabajo de Jaques exige tomar el tiempo necesario para captar su dimensin innovadora. Tambin supone un cambio radical en el modo de elegir a los ejecutivos y de organizar a las empresas. Al igual que todo pensamiento innovador, su trabajo requiere la prueba de efectuar aplicaciones en la propia organizacin. Sin embargo, captar esta complejidad no es necesariamente una tarea abrumadora. En este libro Nancy Lee, ella misma una consultora organizacional consustanciada con los esfuerzos conceptuales de Jaques, ha logrado hacer su pensamiento mucho ms fcil de comprender. Por este motivo, este texto es de suma utilidad para ejecutivos, consultores y universitarios dedicados a construir organizaciones ms eficaces.

Sophos Ontology

On Post-Traditional Spirituality

By: Lee Irwin

Sophos Ontology: On Post-Traditional Spirituality discusses religious plurality and post-traditional perspectives on emergent forms of sacred sensibility, particularly for those identifying as “spiritual but not religious.” This book is divided into three parts. The first part is a retrospective account of multiple religious traditions, with emphasis on esoteric thought as influenced by mystical writings, covering western, eastern, and Native American traditions. The second part discusses the need for a new conceptualization of the “sacred” as expressed through multiple spiritual perspectives relevant to a pansentient, post-traditional process ontology. Other topics in this section include the importance of an ethically shaped spirituality, collective influences, dreams, imagination, and the role of pluralism in shaping beliefs. Part three explores the role of faith, redefined as spiritual commitment, mysticism as direct experiential knowledge, and transpersonal theory influenced by comparative studies in altered states of consciousness, paranormal research, and the metaphysics of discovery — all contributing to the development of present and future spirituality.

Cognitive Risk

Cognitive Risk

By: James Bone,Jessie H Lee

Cognitive Risk is a book about the least understood but most pervasive risk to mankind – human decision-making. Cognitive risks are subconscious and unconscious influence factors on human decision-making: heuristics and biases. To understand the scope of cognitive risk, we look at case studies, corporate and organizational failure, and the science that explains why we systemically make errors in judgment and repeat the same errors. The book takes a multidisciplinary and pedestrian stroll through behavioral science with a light touch, using stories to explain why we consistently make cognitive errors that not only increase risks but also simultaneously fail to recognize these errors in ourselves or our organizations. This science has deep roots in organizational behavior, psychology, human factors, cognitive science, and behavioral science all influenced by classic philosophers and enabled through advanced analytics and artificial intelligence. The point of the book is simple. Humans persist with bounded rationality, but as the speed of information, data, money, and life in general accelerates, we will need the right tools to not only keep pace but to survive and thrive. In light of all these factors that complicate risk, the book offers a foundational solution. A cognitive risk framework for enterprise risk management and cyber security. There are five pillars in a cognitive risk framework with five levels of maturity, yet there is no universally prescribed maturity level. It is more a journey of different paths. Each organization will pursue its own path, but the goal is the same – to minimize the errors that could have been avoided. We explain why risks are hard to discuss and why we systematically ignore the aggregation of these risks hidden in collective decision-making in an organization. The cognitive risk framework is a framework designed to explore the two most complex risks organizations face: uncertainty and decision-making under uncertainty. The first pillar is cognitive governance, which is a structured approach for institutionalizing rational decision-making across the enterprise. Each pillar is complimentary and builds on the next in a succession of continuous learning. There is no endpoint because the pillars evolve with technology. Enterprise risk is a team effort in risk intelligence grounded in a framework for good decision-making. We close with a call to become designers of risk solutions enabled by the right technology and nurtured by collaboration. We hope you enjoy the book with this context.

Tales from the Symphony

Perspectives from African American Musicians

By: Robert Lee Watt

This book contains conversations with nineteen African American classical musicians currently performing—or who have previously performed—in America’s major symphony orchestras. Each chapter focuses on the story of one musician and sheds light on the realities of African American musicians playing in a musical environment that absolutely forbade their membership over half a century ago. These conversations explore the deeply ingrained prejudices that some hold against African American people in symphony orchestras, conservatories, and other musical institutions. By amplifying these voices, the book provides a variety of perspectives on the almost cloistered world of these beloved institutions. The stories and lessons shared in this book will be invaluable to music students, teachers, and orchestral professionals.

Willa Cather

Double Lives

By: Hermione Lee

Hermione Lee’s provocative and influential biography provides a sensitive reappraisal of a marvelous and often underrated writer. The Willa Cather she reveals here was a Nebraskan who spent much of her life in self-imposed exile from the prairies she celebrated in O Pioneers! and My Antonia, a woman whose life was riddled with the tension between masculine and feminine, and a writer whose naturalness of style disguised exquisite artistry. By exposing the contradictions that lie at the heart of much of Cather’s life and work, Lee locates new layers of meaning and places her firmly at the forefront of the modern literary tradition that was taking shape in her time.
