"The Flow System shows how to generate and nurture self-organizing teams that mobilize the full talents of those doing the work to cope with dizzying change and complexity, while also drawing on the contributions of those for whom the work is being done--the customers."--Steve Denning, author of The Age of Agile "Organizations that pull off this triple helix trick of thinking about the complexity of their systems and the environment in which they're operating, distributed leadership to engage the collective intelligence and creativity of the organization, and building teams of teams so the whole is greater than the sum of the parts, have a good chance of keeping up and staying ahead."--Steve Spear, MIT Sloan School senior lecturer, author of The High Velocity Edge "The Flow System's Triple Helix provides many of the tools and ways of thinking we will need to do that; it is agile without being doctrinaire about Agile."-- David Snowden, creator of the Cynefin Framework, Chief Scientific Officer of Cognitive Edge

Politics: An Introduction

Little Billy asked his grandmother how long she planned to stay 39, because on each birthday when asked how old she was, she would reply, “I’m still 39 and holding.” To which Billy replied, “Granny do you think you can stay 39 forever?” Far too many of us take growing old and old age too seriously. We need to lighten up...go with the flow. A sage is reportedly to have said, “You grow up the day you can laugh at yourself.” This volume of poems presents a humorous, and at times a serious, view of growing older. It is a follow-up to the author’s book, Have You Hugged Your Parents Lately? A book in which a deep and serious look is taken at aging, it’s problems and challenges. There is a second part in this book in which the author takes a nostalgic trip back into his childhood in rural Georgia, which he refers to as, “We didn’t know the depression was over until the middle fifties.” This poetic trip and the poems on aging will delight and encourage the hearts of all who read this book. It is an ideal gift for young and old.

This book analyses the complex relationship between corporate governance and economic development by focusing on the reform of corporate governance, the role of the legal system, and the interconnections with the financial system. Corporate governance has a central role to play in helping to increase the flow and lower the cost of the financial capital that firms need to finance their investment activity. The importance of this role has grown considerably in recent years, and the findings of this book emphasize that the standard of corporate governance matters significantly for developing countries. The editors rediscover that improved corporate governance can contribute to sustained productivity growth and stability of institutions. This timely and insightful book offers a one-stop reference guide for practitioners, academics, researchers, donor agencies and those who are interested in understanding the multi-dimensional and interdisciplinary aspects of corporate governance.

The Last Supper

When Sam Stoneman disappeared in November 1989, the bottom fell out of Mason Tanner's life. Sam and Mason were best friends, and it was on a ski trip together in the Sierra Nevada Mountains that the unthinkable happened. A chance encounter with a creep in a bar set events into motion, and when it was over, Sam was gone. In the aftermath, Mason could never shake the feeling that he was responsible. The guilt nearly killed him. Years later, Mason has turned his life around, the heartbreak and destructive living rooted in that long-ago night finally behind him. But the past remains, and when Mason's girlfriend resurrects Sam's case, it sets them both on a terrifying course of no return. The investigation leads to Bridgeport, California, in the Eastern Sierra. From there, an epic showdown awaits at the infamous ghost town in Bodie. The old mining camp holds many secrets, and as Mason draws closer to a horrible truth, he will need all his cunning and courage to face down Sam's killer.
