How they managed working together for the first time on a real-live side project, tips on how to work together better with the people around you and being cool with embracing our emotional side. In this episode of This is HCD, Liz and I talk about the events that led up to her and her co-author Mollie West Duffy writing this book. Liz’s focus is on actuatable ways individuals at any company in any role can build culture where they feel they belong. Science shows that employees that feel a sense of belonging at work are happier, more productive, and healthier than those who work in cut-throat organisations. Liz spent the last three years empowering leaders at companies like Google, Facebook, and Nike, to create cultures of belonging in which employees feel safe taking risks, asking questions, and putting their ideas out into the world. I’m your host Chi Ryan and in this episode, I’m speaking to Liz Fosslien, designer, illustrator, and co-author of the brilliant book: No Hard Feelings, The Secret Power of Embracing Emotion at Work. Chi: Hello, and welcome to another episode of This is HCD.

Rather, various regimes - Thailand has a long history of coups and of power switching back and forth between the military and business, and traditionalists and reformers - have tended to come back and reconfigure the monarchy as a figurehead standing for whatever it is they want it to stand for, as a means of aiding socio-political stability. The picture is drawn of a Thailand in which the urban-rural divide is strong not only in a geographic sense but also with respect to political identity the monarchy is correctly perceived as a balancing force, but not because the monarchy was strong in itself. The bulk, however, is spent on modern Thailand, with a brief chapter added in the second edition on the post-2006 era after which Thaksin was exiled, the military coup, yellow vs red shirt protests, etc. The first third of the book is spent on pre-20th century Thailand - sketching in particular the structure of its monarchy and the geopolitical region it dominated, the Mekong (stretching to Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Burma). Its also the only up-to-date socio-economic history of Thailand I could find on international bookshelves so this makes it somewhat of a reference text for the layman. A solid history of modern Thailand, running from the 1700s to the present day ~2009. Rather than a dystopian New York there's a world city and no apparent mineral resource problem. I can't help contrasting this book with in which a future population of 1 Trillion people is postulated. It's also a bit of a shame that the only pleasant female character is the most minor one. This spoiled matters somewhat by being too overt and heavy handed. The story is told quite seriously which may come as a surprise to folks familiar with Harrison's OTT spoof/satires starring the Stainless Steel Rat and the points are made deftly - except towards the end when one of the characters turns into a talking head and starts handing out lectures about contraception, Catholicism and politics. It's an odd book tackling the question of over-population back in the 1960s when it seems to have first been taken seriously (though not by policy makers, plainly). Written in 1966 and set in 1999, Make Room Make Room is a witty and unnerving story about stretching the earth’s resources, and the human spirit, to breaking point. Soylent steaks consist of soybean and lentil. Harrison did not envision a society fed with the products of human remains. Sounds like Harrison only got the date wrong. The film was loosely based on science fiction writer Harry Harrrison‘s novel Make Room Make Room, which had been published six years earlieremphasis on loosely. Shanties, tent cities, people living in ships and cars that can't move because there's no more oil. It's the future - 1999 in fact! Over 7 billion humans, 35 million of them in New York City where a cop, a gangster's moll and a street kid all collide on their no longer separate searches for food and water security.

I'd follow the rebellious heroine Zahra anywhere-especially into another nail-biter of a story like this."-James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of The Demon Crown Salvation Day is a taut thriller, a near-future look at where we're headed next, a mirror reflecting the best and worst of humanity. "Kali Wallace, the world needs you-and this book. There's a party going on-the last of the summer. In a town house at a fashionable address on Manhattan's Upper East Side, every lamp blazes. And unknown to all, something dark and evil has awakened…. As Evie jumps headlong into a dance with a murderer, other stories unfurl in the city that never sleeps. When the police find a murdered girl branded with a cryptic symbol and Will is called to the scene, Evie realizes her gift could help catch a serial killer. Evie worries he’ll discover her darkest secret: a supernatural power that has only brought her trouble so far. The only catch is that she has to live with her uncle Will and his unhealthy obsession with the occult. It’s 1926, and New York is filled with speakeasies, Ziegfeld girls, and rakish pickpockets. A young woman discovers her mysterious powers could help catch a killer in the first book of The Diviners series–a stunning supernatural historical mystery set in 1920s New York City, from Printz Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author Libba Bray.Įvangeline O’Neill has been exiled from her boring old hometown and sent off to the bustling streets of New York City–and she is ecstatic. Moira Falkner is one person whose life has been disrupted by Addis’s return. Everyone has long presumed that Addis died on the crusade, and his return comes as a surprise to many. His wife has died, and his step-brother has seized his lands after accusing Addis’s deceased father of treason. When he returns home to England, it appears that his problems are just beginning. That being said, By Possession is a very good read, and Madeline Hunter addresses the troublesome inequality issue with thoughtfulness and insight.Īddis de Valence has spent the last six years in the Baltics after being captured during a crusade. Fundamentally, master/servant romances make me very uncomfortable, usually because of the inherent inequalities between the hero (who always seems to have the upper hand in these scenarios) and the heroine. Though her status as a serf is in question, she spends much of the book as his bondwoman. By Possession is a medieval romance about a knight and a woman who was born a serf, bound to his lands. I know an author is really talented when she makes me enjoy a book with a premise that I basically dislike. These are the pro-Soviet groups, the pro-Chinese, the pro-Albanian, and pro-Cuban.

Martens wrote on the political history of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where he has lived and travelled extensively. Ludo Martens (12 March 1946 – 5 June 2011) was a Belgian historian noted for his work on francophone Africa and the Soviet Union. I like how the author maintained the mood of the story light and sweet both Greg and Keith had some trouble in their teen years, but nothing tragic and nothing that could really prevent them to be happy now. Keith is a living temptation he cannot afford. Greg is not a saint, but he is in self-imposed rehabilitation: after a late teens and beginning of college in which Greg drunk too much and rebelled to his family, he took the decision to change city and degree, and behave. What Greg knows is that Keith behaves like a good boy during the week, to then enjoy his weekends in a midst of sex and alcohol.

Suehiro Maruo is also the author of "Camelia Girl "(published in English as "Mr Arashi's Amazing Freak Show"). With a translation by James Havoc (author of "Butchershop In The Sky") and Takako Shinkado, and an introduction by Romain Slocombe, "Ultra-Gash Inferno "is a revelatory cross-cultural event in comic-book publishing. Only the third of Maruos manga to be released stateside (the other two being Creation Books Ultra-Gash Inferno and Blast Books Mr. "Ultra-Gash Inferno "is the ultimate compendium of Suehiro Maruo's most shocking and graphically precise work, containing nine psycho-nightmares never before translated and published in English. With influences ranging from 19th century atrocity prints to the Sex Pistols, and obsessions with horror, scatology and human freaks, Maruo has taken the "erotic-grotesque" (ero-guro) style of manga, a unique fusion of sex and violence to its ultimate extreme.
