Say Thank You for Everything is a guide to management that shows
you the right way to lead a business, inspired by Jim Edwards's
experience of helping to transform a small unread blog into a
business with 200 million readers and hundreds of employees, which
finally sold for $442m. Based on a legendary internal email that
distilled 19 things a new manager might find helpful, Say Thank You
for Everything will show you: - the 'whales and fails' method of
decision-making that systematically improves your team's results -
the incredible power of being slightly better than average - why
good hiring is 80% of everything - how to increase productivity and
reduce burnout at the same time - why your teams should never be
bigger than five people - the importance of taking your enemies to
lunch - the surprising places great ideas actually come from - the
dark arts of successful management - and much, much more. You might
be a brand-new boss unsure where to start, or a struggling
supervisor thinking of throwing it in, or perhaps someone who just
doesn't want to lose their humanity on the way to the executive
suite. Say Thank You for Everything will help you look after your
people, get results for your business, and be the kind of boss you
always wanted to have yourself.

symbolizing good luck. By simply turning eight interconnecting I
Ching wheels containing 8 hexagrams each, read the associated
meanings. Discover an understanding of your past, present, future,

In the words of author Ellen Schoeck: I Was There is for anyone who
loves the University of Alberta. It is a simple book of stories
from alumni. They will tell you why they decided to come to
university, what everyday was like for them, and where their
degrees took them after graduation. You will also hear stories told
by a handful of professors who were at the U of A in the early
days. These first professors were pioneers in education who came
from revered and established universities to take a chance on a
university that only had a name - the University of Alberta. They
came west to a university that had no students, staff or buildings.
All that existed was a piece of paper, an act of the Legislature,
passed on May 9, 1906, called the University Act. But it was people
- students, faculty and staff - who brought that piece of
legislation to life. This is a documentary account of their stories
- stories that pluck the University's history down from the
bookshelf, and make it live all over again. 1908 and you'll be with
her as she fails English, her major, twice, under the scrutiny of
the inspiring but unrelenting taskmaster, Dr. Broadus. Then, in
1927, you will be tossed off the roof of Athabasca Hall with Hugh
Morrison (BA '30) during freshman initiation. Three decades later,
long-time U of A Registrar Brian Silzer (BSc '69, Dip(Ed) '71, MEd
'78) will describe what happened after he and his buddies dropped a
bowling ball from the roof of their undergraduate residence, St.
Stephen's College. Along the way you will meet teachers, actors, a
famous pilot, physicists, researchers, military personnel,
journalists, politicians, linguists, diplomats, public servants, a
spy, engineers, and playwrights. You'll even meet a ghost or two.

This collection of Burgess's public talks and writings offers a
unique insight into the social and intellectual dimensions of
architecture and town planning during the first half of the
twentieth century. Architectural history, the impact of the Arts
and Crafts and Modernist movements, the meaning of domestic
architecture, and the connection of architecture and town planning
to everyday life figure prominently in this collection. A
contemporary of Cecil Burgess said that no one in Canada was
superior in architectural scholarship. Cecil Burgess was professor
of architecture and resident architect at the University of Alberta
between 1913 and 1940. A similar collection of writings and talks
has not been published about Canadian architecture for this period.

Enjoy the world of colorful birds as they chirp, cheep, and squawk
throughout various short stories. Five different varieties of birds
are used in the stories; each story focuses on the use of a certain
verb. The verb tenses are printed in the color of the bird in the
story. Also included are facts about each of the five varieties of
birds, along with pictures and links to bird songs. The book is
geared for several levels. Preschool children will like looking at
the birds and will hear correct language through listening as
someone reads to them. The stories use words recommended for
children to know prior to kindergarten. Early elementary students
can hear correct usage and practice reading. Students doing reports
on birds can turn to the pages with facts about the birds and
follow links to websites for more information.
I have faith in a better future, because I have faith that most
human beings want to do the right thing. - Lois Hole In early 2005,
Alberta lost one of its greatest treasures--a woman who not only
voiced her thoughts, but also acted upon them. Lois Hole was a
compassionate being who remained, even as Lieutenant Governor of
Alberta, modest and approachable to those inspired by her. This
collection of speeches, edited by Mark Lisac, will appeal to
everyday Albertans whose lives Lois Hole touched, and particularly
to those interested in how this remarkable woman reacted to and
affected Alberta's history and political life.
"All True Things "is a critical history of the genesis and
evolution of the University of Alberta and a splendid way to mark
the University's centennial. Professor Emeritus of History and
alumnus, Rod Macleod, relates the University's coming of age
against the parallel history of the Province of Alberta's
remarkable growth. "All True Things"--a variation on the University
of Alberta's motto, "Quaecumque Vera," or, "Whatsoever Things Are
True"--uncovers times of triumph and trouble by examining key
people, circumstances, and decisions of that first century. What
emerges is an enduring narrative of an institutional will to thrive
and become a vibrant centre of learning. As the University embarks
on its second century, this definitive source of information and
reflection on institutional history and governance will inspire
future leaders and policy makers and delight the University of
Alberta's many friends far and wide.
