the age of digital transformation, drawing on interviews with top
dealmakers and M&A experts sharing their stories, triumphs, and
challenges. Taking a dynamic storytelling approach, The Deal
Paradox navigates the transition from traditional and ingrained
methods to new techniques, showing how AI, big data, and machine
learning can be used to generate new opportunities and enable
diversity. It walks through the attributes and skills needed in
this new landscape and how M&A professionals can build them
into their approach, from finding and executing deals to making
sure they deliver the desired outcomes. The Deal Paradox draws on
60 years' combined experience of cutting-edge deal making, built on

the 1980s banking boom and Kraft's takeover of Cadbury to key tech
deals including the GBP1bn sale of financial data intelligence
company Acuris to ION. Chapters are richly illustrated throughout
with real-world examples featuring organizations such as Apple,
Google, BP and SoftBank Vision Fund.

Introductory Chemistry: An Atoms First Approach by Julia Burdge and
Michelle Driessen has been developed and written using an atoms
first approach specific to introductory chemistry. It is a
carefully crafted text, designed and written with the introductory
chemistry student in mind. The arrangement of topics facilitates
the conceptual development of chemistry for the novice, rather than
the historical development that has been used traditionally. Its
language and style are student friendly and conversational, and the
importance and wonder of chemistry in everyday life are emphasized
at every opportunity. The text is strengthened by its offering in
ALEKS, now featuring Custom Question Authoring, Video Assignments,
Virtual Labs, and more!
"[A] funny, serious, clever novel." -The New York Times From
award-winning Dutch author Martin Michael Driessen comes a
fearlessly funny tragedy about an improbable friendship, unstable
dreams, missed opportunities, and epic coincidence. In a quiet
coastal town in Yugoslavia, two men seeking more than the Communist
regime can offer find their lives deceitfully entwined. Andrej is a
postman in complete denial of his existence. He yearns for respect
and fame but commits petty crimes for reasons he doesn't fully
comprehend. Josip is an increasingly irrelevant cable car operator
and unfaithfully married. Life was so much simpler when neither one
knew the other's secrets. Now that they do-discovered quite by
accident-each man has resorted to blackmailing the other. As their
anonymous misdeeds escalate, a farce of mutual dependency begins.
So does the unlikeliest of friendships when Andrej and Josip
finally meet face-to-face. In a tale set against the impending
wars, Martin Michael Driessen ingeniously explores the foibles of
two painfully ordinary men boldly staking their claims on life.
