DOWNLOAD EBOOKA clever and complex woman builds an ice cream empire after immigrating from Russia in this stunning novel of power, Prohibition, and performance set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America. In 1913, little Malka Treynovsky flees Russia with her family. Bedazzled by tales of gold and movie stardom, she tricks them into buying tickets for America. Yet no sooner do they land on the squalid Lower East Side of Manhattan, than Malka is crippled and abandoned in the street. Taken in by a tough-loving Italian ices peddler, she manages to survive through cunning and inventiveness. As she learns the secrets of his trade, she begins to shape her own destiny. She falls in love with a gorgeous, illiterate radical named Albert, and they set off across America in an ice cream truck. Slowly, she transforms herself into Lillian Dunkle, "The Ice Cream Queen" -- doyenne of an empire of ice cream franchises and a celebrated television personality. Lillian's rise to fame and fortune spans seventy years and is inextricably linked to the course of American history itself, from Prohibition to the disco days of Studio 54. Yet Lillian Dunkle is nothing like the whimsical motherly persona she crafts for herself in the media. Conniving, profane, and irreverent, she is a supremely complex woman who prefers a good stiff drink to an ice cream cone. And when her past begins to catch up with her, everything she has spent her life building is at stake.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe story of Ben & Jerry’s and its controversial acquisition by Unilever, based on interviews with insiders and “rich in details” (Kirkus Reviews). Ben & Jerry’s has always been committed to an insanely ambitious three-part mission: making the world’s best ice cream, supporting progressive causes, and sharing the company’s success with all stakeholders: employees, suppliers, distributors, customers, cows, everybody. But it hasn’t been easy. This is the first book to tell the full, inside story of the inspiring rise, tragic mistakes, devastating fall, determined recovery, and ongoing renewal of one of the most iconic mission-driven companies in the world. No previous book has focused so intently on the challenges presented by staying true to that mission. No other book has explained how the company came to be sold to corporate giant Unilever or how that relationship evolved to allow Ben & Jerry’s to pursue its mission on a much larger stage. Journalist Brad Edmondson tells the story with an eye for details, dramatic moments, and memorable characters. He interviewed dozens of key figures, particularly Jeff Furman, who helped Ben and Jerry write their first business plan in 1978 and became chairman of the board in 2010. It’s a funny, sad, surprising, and ultimately hopeful story.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHow our collective intelligence has helped us to evolve and prosper Humans are a puzzling species. On the one hand, we struggle to survive on our own in the wild, often failing to overcome even basic challenges, like obtaining food, building shelters, or avoiding predators. On the other hand, human groups have produced ingenious technologies, sophisticated languages, and complex institutions that have permitted us to successfully expand into a vast range of diverse environments. What has enabled us to dominate the globe, more than any other species, while remaining virtually helpless as lone individuals? This book shows that the secret of our success lies not in our innate intelligence, but in our collective brains—on the ability of human groups to socially interconnect and learn from one another over generations. Drawing insights from lost European explorers, clever chimpanzees, mobile hunter-gatherers, neuroscientific findings, ancient bones, and the human genome, Joseph Henrich demonstrates how our collective brains have propelled our species' genetic evolution and shaped our biology. Our early capacities for learning from others produced many cultural innovations, such as fire, cooking, water containers, plant knowledge, and projectile weapons, which in turn drove the expansion of our brains and altered our physiology, anatomy, and psychology in crucial ways. Later on, some collective brains generated and recombined powerful concepts, such as the lever, wheel, screw, and writing, while also creating the institutions that continue to alter our motivations and perceptions. Henrich shows how our genetics and biology are inextricably interwoven with cultural evolution, and how culture-gene interactions launched our species on an extraordinary evolutionary trajectory. Tracking clues from our ancient past to the present, The Secret of Our Success explores how the evolution of both our cultural and social natures produce a collective intelligence that explains both our species' immense success and the origins of human uniqueness.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKYou may be sitting there thinking “wow! my life could be better!” or you may be thinking “I’m so jealous I could spit”, or possibly “where is my mocha latte”, but even if you’re thinking “eh, my life is really good too”, in fact especially if you’re thinking that last part, you need to read this book. If you think your life is “good enough”, you need this book to see how much better it could be. If you think your life needs fixing, it probably does. If you think your pajamas are the perfect size for elephants, they probably are. If you can’t remember the last time you saw a rainbow, then this book is exactly what you need. Buy two because you’re probably going to lose one along the way (especially in step 36: “Throwing books at strangers”).

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"For the first time ever, an acute observer is effectively investigating the role of the board and the governance structure necessary for successful acquisitions. This is enormously significant; despite the fact that M&A success factors are broadly known and researched, the conditions upon which they are based and allowed to flourish are not, resulting in the continuing failure of more than two-thirds of acquisitions. Indeed, because of this pioneering approach the book was praised by practitioners for its additions to strategic management understanding. Farsam Farschtschian's incisive analysis, enriched by discussions with some of the world's most renowned CEOs and chairmen, reveals the gap between mainstream theory and the reality of the board room, going on to develop far-reaching recommendations for top management. The author's conclusions sharply illustrate the limits and challenge the inadequacies of current corporate governance and the structural transformations resulting from new types of business practices and methods." -- Publisher's website.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThere was once a poor man who came from a good Christian family. Because he had many questions, he left home to discover why just a few become rich. His quest led him to a rich man who was not only pious, but kind, loving, and humble. This made the poor man think differently about rich people. The rich man welcomed him to his home, and the poor man wondered why this man was so kind to a poor stranger. For months, the poor man studied the rich one. All my life, he thought, I have been raised to believe that the rich are mean and do not have respect for others, let alone take time to pray to God. But now, I know that the rich also pray. I must ask this man to teach me. So his lessons began, and the rich man taught the poor one everything he needed to know to begin living a fulfilled life. He taught him that it is the blessing of the Lord that makes one rich. He taught him how to cultivate new beliefs. He taught him that he had to change his mental attitude toward people and money. But above all, he taught him that money is but a servant, meant to serve a purpose. The poor man was transformed and became rich himself. He also became an evangelist, spreading the good news to others. About the Author Upon completing a degree in law at the University of Kent in Canterbury, England, Kingsley C. Njoku, a Nigerian, found himself far from home and facing a crossroads. He stumbled upon a centuries-old secret that brought him courage. He discovered the power of positive thinking and faith.
