From a New York Times–bestselling author and Caldecott Medal-winning artist, this story of a royal race car driver is “a shot of gleeful adrenaline” (Publishers Weekly (starred review). Once upon a time there was a Princess. . . . who made a pit stop. While the Birds and Beasts changed her tires, her Fairy Godmother told her she was in last place! With just one lap left! She might as well give up! Give up? Not THIS princess! Instead, she hit the gas! Join Her Royal Highness in the driver’s seat for a mad dash to the finish in this exciting ode to auto racing. With appearances by fable and fairy tale favorites including the Tortoise and the Hare, the Frog Prince, and ALL of the Wicked Witches, this rollicking mash-up of race cars and royalty is a true celebration of both girl power and horsepower. “The full-page illustrations are saturated with color and express the action so vividly readers will nearly hear the roar of the racetrack. The emphasis on the Princess’ racing skill and zeal for her sport is empowering and refreshing.” —Kirkus Reviews “With its breakneck speed and massive number of storybook references, The Princess and the Pit Stop is sure to be a story time favorite.” —Shelf Awareness

Are you a Formula 1 buff? Even if you are not, have you had a chance to watch a Formula 1 (F1) race? It is probably the most grueling race in the world, where only the best qualify. These drivers are daredevils, deeply passionate about the sport and have nerves of steel. They are backed by great machines, great automobile research and great support teams. There is nothing really that sets one F1 driver apart from the other among the top 10. If that is so, how is it that some of them win consistently? How are F1 drivers like Lewis Hamilton and Mark Webber so consistent in winning the race every time? What separates winners from those who “almost win”? If this question bothers you, then Pit Stops for Peak Performance is for you.

Pit stops can make or break a race. “A lot of races are won in the pit,” according to IndyCar driver Will Power. Isn’t your work as a manager like the Formula 1 race where you are racing for excellence through the year? If pit stops differentiate the winners from others, how smart are your pit stops? You will learn how to: • Achieve high performance • Set and achieve reasonable and realistic goals • Develop teams and motivate them • Analyze the markets – customers, distributors and competitors • Become more productive and strategic KANTI GOPAL KOVVALI is the founder and CEO of a change management consultancy firm, Institution Builders HR Solutions Pvt Ltd (www.institutionbuilders.com).

This original short story from the New York Times bestselling thriller anthology FaceOff pairs bestsellers Raymond Khoury and Linwood Barclay - and features characters from their bestselling novels - in a one-of-a-kind thriller match-up. FBI Agent Sean Reilly (hero of Khoury's multi-million-copy bestseller The Last Templar) is tracking a criminal who is in possession of a lethal biological agent and threatening to unleash it on innocent civilians. But now Reilly has a bigger problem: his quarry, known online as Faustus, has created an explosive diversion and stolen a truck from a restaurant car park - and inside that truck is a teenage girl. General contractor and single dad Glen Garber (of Barclay's bestseller The Accident) had stopped to grab a snack for his daughter Kelly when they both got caught up in the chaos in the car park. Thinking she'd be safest in the truck, he ordered her inside, and that was the last time he saw her. Agent Reilly must navigate the chase with nerves of steel, attempting to free Kelly Garber from the madman's clutches without endangering thousands of lives in the process - and all with her terror-stricken father right by his side.

Whether you are singer, Broadway performer, school teacher, salesperson, or call centre operator, this book will inform and provide you with the tools you need to protect, manage, and maybe even save your voice. The Vocal Pitstop is written by Adam Rubin, MD, a performer and actor who qualified as one of the world's foremost laryngologists, and who recognized that most singers and performers - in fact, most of us - have no idea what is going on in our 'voice box', how we can look after it and, worse, what could be going wrong. Here then, is his light-hearted but not light-weight, serious but not scientific guide to your voice, and what you need to do to keep it on the road - it is the manual for your pitstop crew Dr Rubin covers all you'll need to know, including vocal health, methods of voice rest, 'quack' cures to avoid, when to pull on to the hard shoulder, when to call in to the garage, and much, much more. Featured are useful checklists, do's and don'ts, practical hints and tips, who to see for help, what to avoid, and questions to ask of voice professionals. Be informed. Your voice is your profession as well as your personality - abuse it, you may lose it
