Every day, millions of businesses around the world experience the same leadership problems: the managers, doers and wannabes who seek to lead run into traps, pitfalls and stumbling blocks. Whether corporations or startups, whether in Brazil or Berlin. Jan Myszkowski knows many of them. All over the globe. A top manager himself, he has spent many years on the road, working in the corporate world. During breaks between meetings, in airport and station lounges, and when he has a free evening, he draws. His experiences serve as his inspiration. What emerges is an irrepressible passion for cartoons which seek to capture the little contradictions of leadership. In his first book, the author has depicted 50 deputy managers from around the globe, staging each of them in typical and true-to-life cartoons. A collection of global curios of leadership. With a clear purpose: those who are familiar with them gain confidence. Those who take them into consideration can train their own personal leadership abilities. Every first time offers the possibility of a second chance! This is the motto of the manager with the unmistakable penwork and the brilliant "aha!" moments, whose cartoons makes readers smile, while at the same time, in their own inimitable style, teaching them about leadership.

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. You might think that its name says it all. A bookshelf is just that - a shelf for books. It's the stuff of libraries, offices, and the bane of movers' existence. But every shelf is different and every bookshelf tells a different story. One bookshelf can creak with character in a bohemian coffee shop and another can groan with gravitas in the Library of Congress. Bookshelf takes an almost meta-approach to the object studies aim of Object Lessons: exploring the stacks as well as our bedside tables, writer and historian Lydia Pyne unpacks not just the material parts but the secret lives of bookshelves. Pyne finds bookshelves to be holders not just of books but of so many other things: values, vibes, and verbs that can be contained and displayed in the buildings and rooms of contemporary human existence. With a shrewd eye toward this particular moment in the history of books, Pyne takes the reader on a tour of the bookshelf that leads critically to this juncture: amid rumors of the death of book culture, why is the life of bookshelf in full bloom? Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in the The Atlantic.

You're in at 7am, there until 7pm and marking into the late hours. You've got one student who's a full time carer, another who's pregnant, and a third who's just joined a gang. You haven't got enough textbooks to go around, and one of the parents just called you an 'extremist'. You've just gone through a devastating heartbreak and you have to teach Romeo and Juliet to 30 hormonal 14 year olds. Welcome to life as a teacher. This is a world that all of us know, but most of us have completely forgotten. It's a world where you're working 50 hour weeks, but you're still just a part-time teacher because the rest of the time you're a security guard, a nurse, a counsellor, or a friend. It's also a world where you spend all day with some of the most interesting people you know. And even when the lesson plan has been abandoned, you're still learning. Mehreen started teaching at 21, and by the time she left 10 years later she'd learnt a bit about teenagers and a lot about life. This is her story.
