Aceh, Indonesia. December 2004.
Two teens find each other surrounded by the destruction left in
the wake of the most devastating tsunami the world has ever seen:
Ruslan, a native of Aceh, in search of his missing father, whom he
hopes has not been added to the fallen; and Sarah, an American
girl, who has already lost her mother and is now struggling to find
medical treatment for her sick brother.
Only together can they find what they're searching for.

Situated in the South Atlantic, some 500 km from mainland South
America, the Falkland Islands are a remote archipelago formed of
two larger islands (East and West Falkland) and over 500 smaller
islands. This book is the output from a collaboration between
scientists at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and Falklands
Conservation, who have been working together for many years. With
recent additions to the flora, there are now 181 vascular plant
species recorded as native to the Islands, including one natural
hybrid, as well as 14 vascular plant species that are endemic to
the Falklands and therefore found nowhere else. This new
comprehensive field guide covers over 300 species, including both
native and non-native, from 14 broad habitat types. Illustrated
throughout with colour photographs, each species profile includes
nomenclature, description, flowering times, native status,
distribution, habitat, abundance, legal protection, Red List status
and invasive notes.

International teams are rapidly becoming the central operating mode
for global enterprises. They are often agile and perceptive, know
local markets better than HQ does, lead innovation and exploratory
ventures, and are more culturally aware than their parent company.
But how much autonomy should they be allowed? How can we get things
done with colleagues who have different worldviews? How can we
strike a balance between core values and the necessary diversity -
and is diversity within the team a strength or a hindrance? What is
the role of the team leader in all of this? How do you establish
team trust? How important is team humor? Who decides the team's
ethics? What misunderstandings can arise in a virtual team, lacking
face-to-face contact? In answering these and other questions,
Richard D. Lewis draws on 30 years experience mediating with
hundreds of international teams in two dozen countries. Generously
illustrated with explanatory diagrams, When Teams Collide analyses
profiles of 24 different nationalities and suggests how they should
be led for best results. Commenting on vital considerations of
leadership, team trust, ethics and humor, the author also evaluates
the relationship between teams and HQ. Applying the cultural
concepts in the bestselling When Cultures Collide specifically to
team leadership, this is a wide-ranging and compelling account of
how to handle what is a difficult and sensitive task.
At the age of 44-at the height of his success-Richard Lewis found himself on a gurney in an emergency room, suffering from a lethal mix of alcohol and drugs. The same dysfunctions that had been the basis for his successful stage persona and had generated so much wonderful material for comedy had turned on him. In this blistering memoir, Lewis tells how he got to that point, how he got on the road to recovery, and how he copes with being Richard Lewis, sober, on a daily basis, in this very funny, profoundly honest, inspiring but unsentimental book. He shares candid and revealing anecdotes about love, sex, fame, family, drinking therapy, eating disorders, and the serious business of comedy.
