underworld kingpin Agarkka D'Souza, doesn't take kindly to his
things being stolen. What's more, he will do anything to get her
back. Man O'War is a taut science fiction thriller set in a London
where cutting-edge companies vie for market space with cut-throat
black market operations, and around the Nigerian city of Port
Harcourt, a wild frontier land on the Niger Delta where one of the
world's most powerful oil conglomerates is apparently under threat
from dissident rebels.

The husband of The Bitch in the House responds with a collection of
original essays in which male writers describe what men desire,
need, love, and loathe in their relationships and in the world
today. Cathi Hanauer's bestselling The Bitch in the House: 26 Women
Tell the Truth about Sex, Solitude, Work, Motherhood, and Marriage
spurred a national conversation about the level of friction in
contemporary marriages and relationships. Now her husband, Daniel
Jones, has rallied the men for the "literary equivalent of The Full
Monty," in which twenty-seven thoughtful, passionate and often
hilarious men, lay it bare when it comes to their wives and
girlfriends, their hopes, and fears. Enough with pop psychiatrists
telling us why men lie, cheat, and want nothing more than to laze
around the house in front of the TV. Enough with women wondering
aloud-at increasing volume-why the men in their lives behave the
way they do. The time has come for men to speak for themselves.
Many of the husbands and fathers in these pages contemplate aspects
of their personal lives they've never before revealed in print-they
kick open the door on their marriages and sex lives, their
fathering and domestic conflicts, their most intimate relationships
and situations. Yet unlike the average meat-and-potatoes father who
still rules the roost, these men are grappling with new ideas of
manhood -- some they are going after and grabbing, and others that
are being thrust upon them by a changing world. Powerful, heartfelt
and irreverent, The Bastard on the Couch is a bold, unprecedented
glimpse into the dark corners and glaring truths of modern
relationships that is guaranteed to amuse, entertain, enrich, and
provoke.

A groundbreaking and revolutionary book that will transform how
lean is understood, practiced, and used within organizations A lean
strategy is about gaining a competitive edge by offering better
quality products at competitive prices and making a sustainable
profit by eliminating waste through engaging employees in

Lean Strategy harnesses that power and delivers a new way of
creating value from lean. Leading lean experts address popular
misconceptions about the basics of lean/TPS, showing the true
purpose of tools, methods, and attitudes that leverage the
intelligence of every employee doing the work. You'll learn how to
think-and then act-differently, tapping the power of every person
in your organization in a disciplined manner that generates
unparalleled, sustainable success that is responsive to today's
most pressing challenges
As the editor of the New York Times' popular Modern Love column,
Daniel Jones is privy to the deepest personal revelations of tens
of thousands of strangers. In Love Illuminated, he uses his unique
perspective to tease apart life's most mystifying subject. Drawing
from the 50,000 tales of love that have crossed his desk, Jones
traces the arc of human relationships through ten phases, starting
with the pursuit, sense of destiny, vulnerability, connection, and
trust of new love, and then turning to the practicality, monotony,
infidelity, loyalty, and wisdom of love matured. With empathy and
wry humor, he takes readers on an enlightening journey through the
highs, lows, and enduring unknowns of this universal experience
that rattles the head and stirs the heart.

worse, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer. They

their 10-day-old son, Junior. Through it all, Danielle and

to their marriage, but to turning their pain into a positive for
other families. Founders of the Angel Baby Network, Danielle and
Christopher share their story to provide hope and inspiration for
married couples and parents facing their own highs and lows.
