Your organization can save and thrive in the cloud with this first nontechnical guide to cloud computing for business leaders.
In less than a decade, Google, Amazon, and Salesforce.com went from unknown ideas to powerhouse fixtures in the economic landscape; in even less time, offerings such as LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and many others also carved out important roles; in less than five years, Apple's iTunes became the largest music retailer in North America. They all share one key strategic decision - each of these organizations chose to harness the power of cloud computing to power their drives to dominance. With roots in supercomputing and many other technical disciplines, cloud computing is ushering in an entirely new economic reality: technology-enabled enterprises built on low-cost, flexible, and limitless technical infrastructures.
The Executive's Guide to Cloud Computing reveals how you can apply the power of cloud computing throughout your enterprise, giving members of the C-suite a detailed look at

English | August 15, 2024 | ASIN: B0D1DLKRYG, B0D1DRZ4XJ | M4B@64 kbps | 10h | 286 MB
Author and Narrator: Sammy Wright
Exams, grades, league tables, Ofsted reports. All of them miss the point of school and together they are undermining our whole approach to education.
What is school for? Drawing on his twenty years as a teacher, hundreds of interviews and his experience on the UK Government's Social Mobility Commission, head teacher Sammy Wright exposes the fundamental misconception at the heart of our education system. By focussing on the grades pupils get in neatly siloed, academic subjects, we end up ranking them and our schools into winners and losers: some pupils are set on a trajectory to university - the rest are left ill-equipped for the world they actually face.

Free Download Evergreen Talent: A Guide to Hiring and Cultivating a Sustainable Workforce by Roberta Chinsky Matuson, Gildan Media
English | March 03, 2020 | ISBN: B084T97292 | 5 hours and 43 minutes | MP3 128 Kbps | 314 Mb
Finding the right talent is hard. Finding the right talent that will prosper and stay is even harder. Business growth is being stifled and fields of office cubicles remain empty due to the fierce competition for talent today with job openings having recently surged to a record high: 6.55 million.
Evergreen Talent will show you how to attract, find, and keep employees for the long-term. What many organization leaders fail to understand is that you can't simply transplant a competitor's talent strategy and achieve the same results - just as you can't take plants suited to a warm climate and expect them to thrive in chillier locales. The conditions are too different. But a company that takes the time to examine its own environment, select talent accordingly, and nurture its people will stand tall, regardless of economic conditions.
In Evergreen Talent, Roberta Chinsky Matuson challenges leaders to think differently about their approach to growing a sustainable workforce - one that will regenerate regularly, with minimal effort on their part. The audiobook is filled with pragmatic advice, case studies, and best practices from companies that have done this successfully. Also included are tools to help listeners assess their workplace environment and populate their organization with talent that will continue to grow, year after year.

Free Download Erasing History: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0D47QMSW5 | 2024 | 4 hours and 56 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 278 MB
Author: Jason Stanley
Narrator: Dion Graham
From the bestselling author, a searing confrontation with the far right's efforts to rewrite history and undo a century of progress on race, gender, sexuality, and class. The human race finds itself again under threat of a rising global fascist movement. In the United States, democracy is under attack by an authoritarian movement that has found fertile ground among the country's conservative politicians and voters, but similar movements have found homes in the hearts and minds of people all across the globe. To understand the shape, form, and stakes of this assault, we must go back to extract lessons from our past. Democracy requires a common understanding of reality, a shared view of what has happened, that informs ordinary citizens' decisions about what should happen, now and in the future. Authoritarians target this shared understanding, seeking to separate us from our own history to destroy our self-understanding and leave us unmoored, resentful, and confused. By setting us against each other, authoritarians represent themselves as the sole solution. In authoritarian countries, critical examination of those nations' history and traditions is discouraged if not an outright danger to those who do it.

English | ASIN: B0CW47CQ23 | 2024 | 10 hours and 8 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 292 MB
Author: Nancy MacDonell
Narrator: Gail Shalan
Fashion historian and journalist Nancy MacDonell chronicles the untold story of how the Nazi invasion of France gave rise to the American fashion industry. Calvin Klein. Ralph Lauren. Donna Karan. Halston. Marc Jacobs. Tom Ford. Michael Kors. Tory Burch. Today, American designers are some of the biggest names in fashion, yet before World War II, they almost always worked anonymously. The industry, then centered on Seventh Avenue in Manhattan, had always looked overseas for "inspiration"-a polite phrase for what was often blatant copying-because style, as all the world knew, came from Paris. But when the Nazis invaded France in 1940, the capital of fashion was cut off from the rest of the world. The story of the chaos and tragedy that followed has been told many times-but how it directly affected American fashion is largely unknown.
