<b>'There's no easy way to share your story with the world, but I'm an optimist to the core and refuse to be defined by my tragedies. Life can shake you up and tear you down, but even when you're at your worst, there's hope, and you have an opportunity to rebuild.'</b><br/><br/><i>Heroes </i>and <i>Nashville </i>star Hayden Panettiere reclaims her story in a remarkably candid memoir.<br/><br/>Hayden Panettiere's career in entertainment began before she was old enough to walk. From early commercials to film and television roles in hits like <i>Remember the Titans</i>, her career unfolded in the public eye resulting in tremendous success by her early teens. She had become a fixture of early-2000s pop culture, earning acclaim for performances in <i>Heroes</i>,<i> Nashville </i>(which earned her two Golden Globe nominations) and beyond-while quietly carrying the weight of expectations that came with being Hollywood's "It girl."<br/><br/>Behind the image was a far more complicated reality. As Hayden entered adulthood, the industry that once felt playful grew unforgiving. The pressure placed on young performers, the hefty price that often comes with fame, and how quickly someone else can take control of your story. She recounts being scrutinized by tabloids, watching her body and private pain become public property, and performing storylines on-screen that echoed trauma she was living through off camera.<br/><br/>In this memoir, Hayden shares a rare and intimate glimpse into her life behind closed doors opening up about postpartum depression, addiction and recovery, trauma, domestic abuse, and loss. She holds nothing back as she reflects on the moments she calls "lifequakes"- experiences that fractured her sense of self and forced her to rebuild it from the inside out.<br/><br/>In <i>This Is Me: A Reckoning</i> Hayden showcases her most vulnerable role yet . . . this is her story on her terms.

<b>Is this a pear? No, it's a bear!</b><br/><br/>This delightfully clever picture book is full of visual tricks and rhyming reveals to inspire wonder while making you chuckle - brought to life by an Oscar-nominated animator and based on his seven-year-old son's original idea and drawings!<br/><br/>Through the hole in the page, you might see a plum . . . or a spider . . . or a spoon. But turn the page to see the full picture and - SURPRISE! - it's something unexpected: the moon, a tiger, even a hippo's bum!<br/><br/><b>This deceptively simple picture-book debut by father-and-son duo Dan and Finn Ojari uses bold, stylish art, rhyming call-and-response text, and clever cut-through holes that play with shape and colour to create a deeply satisfying read-aloud experience for children of two and up and their adults.</b>

"Indispensable!" -Kim Scott, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Radical Candor</i><br/><br/>"Ries shows us, with rigor and optimism, how to build organizations that are worthy of our trust." -Frances Frei, Harvard Business School<br/><br/>"A playbook to help avoid the inevitable pitfalls and find your path to the business you set out to create." -Mark Cuban, entrepreneur and investor<br/><br/><b>The most radical and powerful idea in business isn't disruption... it's integrity.</b><br/><br/> <i>The Lean Startup</i> transformed how a generation of entrepreneurs build products and sparked a global movement for smarter, faster innovation. Now Eric Ries takes the next step, asking a deeper question: how can we build companies that stay true to their mission once they succeed?<br/><br/> In <i>Incorruptible</i>, Ries reveals the hidden forces that cause even great organizations to drift from their values and shows how to design businesses that can withstand that pressure. Drawing on two decades of work with founders, CEOs, and investors around the world, he exposes the structural flaws that make modern companies vulnerable to short-term thinking and moral compromise. He then offers the blueprint for "mission-locked" organizations that can grow, prosper, and endure without losing their soul.<br/><br/> Drawing on wide ranging examples including Cadbury, John Lewis Partnership, Vanguard and Anthropic, <i>Incorruptible </i>uncovers the urgent need for purpose-driven leadership. It gives every builder-founder, executive, investor, or citizen-the tools to create enterprises that uplift rather than exploit. We all have a role to play in shaping a better future. This book is the place to start.

'God whispers through a crease in the wallpaper', writes Patti Smith in this indelible account of her life as an artist. A post-Second World War childhood unfolds in a condemned housing complex described in Dickensian detail: consumptive children, vanishing neighbours, an infested rat house, and a beguiling book of Irish fairytales. We enter the child's world of the imagination where Smith, the captain of her loyal and beloved sibling army, vanquishes bullies, communes with the king of tortoises and searches for sacred silver pennies. The most intimate of Smith's memoirs, Bread of Angels takes us through her teenage years where the first glimmers of art and romance take hold. Arthur Rimbaud and Bob Dylan emerge as creative heroes and role models as Patti starts to write poetry, then lyrics, merging both into the iconic songs and recordings such as 'Horses' and 'Easter', 'Dancing Barefoot' and 'Because the Night'. She leaves it all behind to marry her one true love, Fred Sonic Smith, with whom she creates a life of devotion and adventure on a canal in St. Clair Shores, Michigan with ancient willows and fulsome pear trees. She builds a room of her own, furnished with a pillow of Moroccan silk, a Persian cup, inkwell and fountain pen. The couple spend nights in their landlocked Chris-Craft studying nautical maps and charting new adventures as they start their family. As Smith suffers profound losses, grief and gratitude are braided through years of caring for her children, rebuilding her life and, finally, writing again-the one constant in a life driven by artistic freedom and the power of the imagination to transform the mundane into the beautiful, the commonplace into the magical, and pain into hope. In the final pages, we meet Patti on the road again, the vagabond who travels to commune with herself, who lives to write and writes to live.

<b>'Pulls off the rare feat of making you laugh, think and feel like you happened upon a top secret dossier' GEOFF NORCOTT</b><br/><br/><b>'<i>MONEYMANIA</i> is a page-turner and a must read if you wonder why the world is so screwed up.' PATRICK ALLEY, </b>author of <i>VERY BAD PEOPLE</i><br/><br/>The anonymous author of TAXTOPIA takes us behind the scenes as he embarks on another part of his career, this time recruited as an economist into an industry that believes the world of money can be predicted with almost scientific accuracy. Instead, he discovers that economics has long been driven by vested interests, reckless predictions and a staggering lack of common sense.<br/><br/>In MONEYMANIA we find out why mortgages cost more because of a casual remark made in New Zealand in the '80s, and ask whether the Age of Austerity was due to a simple spreadsheet error. We also learn that if America behaved more like Iceland, they would have put 32,000 bankers in prison.<br/><br/>The Rebel Accountant strips away the complexities of economics, showing us how the profession is responsible for some of the greatest mistakes of all time - and leaves us wondering how they got away with it.<br/><br/>This is <i>MONEYMANIA</i>.
