Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
The never-before-told story of Patrón Tequila the brand that revolutionized an industry§ How a billion-dollar business ascended from a forgotten dusty agave field in central Mexico §The Patrón Way details the unorthodox building of the brand, the extraordinary creativity and marketing ingenuity of Patrón s cofounder, Martin Crowley, and his life partner, Ilana Edelstein, and the way Patrón single-handedly transformed the face of the liquor industry. Edelstein was involved in every aspect of the business from the brand s iconic bottle to designing the sexy and attention- getting outfits worn by the famous Patrón Girls at promotions and parties to running the back office.§Patrón is a tequila so sumptuous and so brilliantly marketed that it has become the world s leading ultrapremium tequila and has changed the way the spirit is experienced: what was once gasoline slammed back in a shot glass is now poured from an exquisite hand-blown bottle into a chilled glass and sipped to attain a Patrón high. §Today, Patrón has grown to over a billion-dollar brand, and it is the largest generator of revenue of all tequila brands. Edelstein combines the dramatic story of the company s rise to success in an astonishingly competitive and sometimes cutthroat industry with practical business lessons about R&D and brand building that business leaders can put to productive use in any industry.§A tale of love, sacrifice, celebrity, dizzying success, and ultimate betrayal, The Patrón Way reveals for the first time all the details behind the intimate relationship and marketing genius of the power couple that transformed the spirits industry.§

Winner, 2010 EPIC Ebook Award for fiction in the Mainstream category."Breathtakingly gorgeous writing ... a multi-layered tale of such depth, breadth and insight that it was very nearly a spiritual experience..."--from a review by T. T. Thomas on Amazon.com"...reminds me of Le Guin, of Cecelia Holland, and something of Rosemary Sutcliff... It made me feel as I did when I was a child reading authors like those... Once again I was in a magical place..."--from a review by Charles Ferguson on Amazon.com"...there's no ring of power or glowing sword of specialness; the magic, like the tone of the book, is quiet. It feels real."--from a blog review on livejournalWhen she was a child, the author of When Women Were Warriors happily identified with all the male heroes she read about in stories that began, "Once upon a time, a young man went out to seek his fortune." But she would have been delighted to discover even one story like that with a female protagonist. Since she never did find the story she was looking for all those years ago, she decided to write it.In Book I of the trilogy, Tamras arrives in Merin's house to begin her apprenticeship as a warrior, but her small stature causes many, including Tamras herself, to doubt that she will ever become a competent swordswoman. To make matters worse, the Lady Merin assigns her the position of companion, little more than a personal servant, to a woman who came to Merin's house, seemingly out of nowhere, the previous winter, and this stranger wants nothing to do with Tamras."...Both men and women of all persuasions seem to love these books... Very rare. Bravo, Bravo, Bravo!"--from a review by T. T. Thomas on Amazon.com"Think Beowulf--only comprehensible and with girls."--from a review on the blog, The Rainbow Reader, by Baxter Clare Trautman, author of The River Within

The most successful leaders in any field don't see themselves merely as managers. They see themselves as the leaders of movements that rally people around common purpose to accomplish big things. Here are the keys to becoming a movement starter.Jennifer Dulski, the head of Facebook Groups, has been a startup founder, a tech executive, and president of Change.org. She has been the mastermind making change in both the business and activism worlds. And though they may seem diametrically opposed in their missions and methods, Dulski argues that the best leaders in both fields share one crucial trait: they lead movements. Whether you're at a startup or a political campaign, a Fortune 500 company or a local community group, you can turn a mission into a movement by helping others believe that they have the power to change the world.Dulski teaches readers to accomplish huge goals by tapping into their visions and inspiring others to join the cause, as she has done at as an executive at Google, Yahoo!, Change.org and Facebook. Now she pairs her experience with stories of movement leaders from both the business and activism worlds. Their passions and origin stories vary widely, but Dulski distills the common themes from these change-makers' experiences into a few key takeaways. For instance:Passion is an equalizer: Sharing your passions can cut across hierarchy and difference to inspire others. Founder of Drybar Alli Webb was a stay-at-home mom passionate about helping women feel good. That belief helped Drybar grow from a two-person business to a $70 million company in just nine years.Ask "why not me?" instead of "why me?": Ordinary people can move mountains. When she was 17 and went bra-shopping with her 13 year-old sister, Megan Grassell became frustrated that only overtly sexual bras were available for young girls. In response, she founded Yellowberry, which is now a thriving business and movement to empower young girls.Encourage others with vulnerability: openness about your struggles catalyzes deeply human connections that can inspire and persuade others. Dulski's own journey to write this book began when she shared the story of her daughter's serious illness in a keynote speech, and found an enormous response from the audience.This is an invaluable resource for all would-be leaders who want to make an impact on the world.

Madrid Tales Oxford University Press
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
The buzzing life of bars, warm evenings by the Manzanares river, the subterranean terrors of the Metro, icy winters and hot, empty summers, student days in the sixties, the ruthless underworld of the city's mafia - this captivating anthology reflects the character of Madrid and the lives of the madrilenos, as its inhabitants are called, in all their splendid variety. Some stories are bizarre, some funny, some serious, and as you read you'll travel through the city. The famous streets and monuments of Madrid - Cibeles, Calle de Alcala, Plaza Mayor, and the Royal Palace - as well as the poor, working-class barrios unfrequented by sightseers will pass before your eyes like a moving picture. Some stories, like the Galdos story and Carmen Martin Gaite's 'A clear conscience' depict a journey across Madrid, while in Javier Marias' sinister tale, 'Fallen from fortune', a couple are unaware that their guide to all the usual tourist highlights is leading them to their death. In 'Through the wall' and 'Personality disorders', the characters barely leave their apartments, and the city lurks outside the windows.A rich assortment of characters - adolescent boys obsessed with sex; maids up from the country; provincial girls who slide into prostitution; a small boy excited at the prospect of going downtown with his grandfather; vain, self-absorbed thirty-somethings with too much money; immigrant families far from home; mafia types; diligent office-workers struggling to bring up a family - come alive in the tales. Few of these stories have previously been translated into English. Some names, such as Benito Perez Galdos, Javier Marias, Juan Jose Millas, and Carmen Martin Gaite, will be more familiar than others but all deserve to be better known. There is a map at the back of the book to indicate the places mentioned in the stories and photographs complement and accompany each story. The reader will also find there biographical notes on the authors and suggestions for further reading.
