 Free Download Between the Sound and Sea by Amanda Cox, Rebecca Quinn Robertson, Recorded Books English | August 06, 2024 | ISBN: B0D5K11W18 | 9 hours and 25 minutes | M4B 64 Kbps | 269 Mb Every family has its secrets. Josephina "Joey" Harris wouldn't mind if her family still had a few of their own after a lawsuit tarnishes their name. When an opportunity opens to become a temporary keeper of a decommissioned lighthouse on a North Carolina island, she takes the opportunity to escape the scrutiny of her small town to oversee its restoration. Soon Joey discovers strange notes tucked deep in the crevices of the lighthouse's old stone walls-pages torn from a keeper's log recounting harrowing rescues at sea. When things start to go amiss on the island, locals are convinced that it is the ghost of the lighthouse keeper and his daughter who were lost at sea during World War II. As Joey sifts through decades of rumors and legends and puts together the pieces of the past, a love story emerges-one that's clearly not over yet. ![Between the Rivers The History of Ancient Mesopotamia [TTC Audio]](https://i124.fastpic.org/big/2024/0929/44/3de36321b1a8f52dfc21b3920ef41e44.webp) Free Download Between the Rivers: The History of Ancient Mesopotamia [TTC Audio] English | July 08, 2013 | ASIN: B00DTNW7TC | M4B@64 kbps | 18h 1m | 512 MB Lecturer: Alexis Q.

This is not just another book about what makes an effective manager. Becoming a Better Boss highlights why well-known advice on good management is so rarely heeded. By focusing on management through the eyes of an employee, Julian Birkinshaw gives us insightful and helpful advice on what we might do differently - both as individual managers of others, and as architects of the organizations in which we work. To achieve this, Birkinshaw has spent time working "in the trenches" to remind himself what life as an employee feels like, as well as interviewed hundreds of employees and managers and undertaken surveys which have received responses in the thousands. The resulting book is a radical new look at what makes good management which is applicable to both manager and employee. It takes managers out of their comfort zone and shows how you can do things differently. It shows how the employee can help themselves be managed more effectively and explores the limitations and pathologies of the organizations we work for. ![Becoming Elizabeth Arden The Woman Behind the Global Beauty Empire [Audiobook]](https://i124.fastpic.org/big/2024/0929/08/111d124ae5adc1fc3d1e917ae92b5c08.webp) Free Download Becoming Elizabeth Arden: The Woman Behind the Global Beauty Empire (Audiobook) English | ASIN: B0CR4HST17 | 2024 | 14 hours and 57 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 431 MB Author: Stacy A.

She revolutionized skin care and cosmetics, making it acceptable for all women to embrace glamour and wear makeup-not just actresses and prostitutes. She created a successful international business empire before women gained the vote and at a time when virtually no woman owned or ran a national company.

Free Download Battle Tested!: Gettysburg Leadership Lessons for 21st Century Leaders by Jeffrey D. McCausland, Tom Vossler, Walter Dixon English | September 08, 2020 | ISBN: B08H4HMHGB | 7 hours and 25 minutes | MP3 128 Kbps | 408 Mb You may never visit the Gettysburg battlefield, but understanding historic lessons from Battle Tested! will have a profound influence on not only your leadership abilities, but also your life, organizations, and career. In order to be a truly effective leader, it is necessary to learn as much as possible from the examples of history - the disasters as well as the triumphs. At Gettysburg, Union and Confederate commanders faced a series of critical leadership challenges under the enormous stress of combat. The fate of the nation hung in the balance. These leaders each responded in different ways, but the concepts and principles they applied during those traumatic three days contain critical lessons for today's leaders that are both useful and applicable - whether those leaders manage operations at a large corporation, supervise a public institution, lead an athletic team, or govern a state or municipality. In the 21st century, leadership is the indispensable quantity that separates successful organizations from failures. Successful leaders communicate vision, motivate team members, and inspire trust. One must move both people and the collective organization into the future while, at the same time, dealing with the past. A leader must learn to master the dynamic requirements of decision-making and change.

 Free Download Banthology: Stories from Unwanted Nations by Various, Yassmin Abdel-Magied, Fayez Bakhsh English | June 13, 2019 | ISBN: B07ST4PKLK | 2 hours and 15 minutes | M4B 128 Kbps | 123 Mb In January 2017, President Donald Trump signed an executive order halting all refugee admissions for 120 days and temporarily barring entry from seven Muslim-majority countries. Mass protests followed, and the order has since been blocked, revised and challenged by judges, politicians, activists and artists alike. But the battle is not yet over, and in the wake of recent terrorist attacks in the UK, Trump has renewed calls for the ban. Banthology: Seven Stories from Seven Countries brings together specially commissioned stories from the so-called 'banned nations': Iran, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. Covering a range of approaches - from satire, to allegory, to literary realism - it explores the emotional and personal impact of all restrictions on movement and is testament to the importance of creative resistance in turbulent times.

Barry Narrator: Mike Chamberlain Bringing together two of America's unifying loves - road trips and Abraham Lincoln - Frank Barry takes listeners on a thought-provoking journey into the heart of our democracy and the soul of our country. A year into his marriage and having never driven an RV, Frank and his wife Laurel set out from New York City in a Winnebago to drive the nation's first transcontinental route, the Lincoln Highway, which zigzags through small towns and big cities from Times Square to San Francisco. Using the spirit of Abraham Lincoln to guide them across the land, they hope to see more clearly what holds the country together-and how we can keep it together, even amidst political divisions that have grown increasingly rancorous, bitter, and exhausting. Along the way, Frank and Laurel meet Americans whose personal experiences help humanize the nation's divisions, and they encounter historical figures and events whose legacies are still shaping our sense of national identity and the struggles over it. This unforgettable journey is full of what makes any great road trip memorable and enjoyable: music, conversation, and laughter. By the end, listeners will have a clearer picture of how we have arrived at a period that carries echoes of the Civil War era, and-using Lincoln as a guide-where the path forward lies. |
