A stunning new insight into how the most crucial lesson you can learn in today’s challenging business environment is how to change the fundamentals of what you do, rather than carry on fighting a battle that is already lost.
The near destruction of the music industry at the hands of online piracy and its subsequent recovery on the backs of digital streaming platforms is more than just the biggest story of disruption and reinvention of the digital age. It is also a trove of insights on how to confront the metamorphosis we are all facing in dealing with the Covid-19 era, as accelerating tech and economic changes reshape our work, our play and our very minds.
Will Page, Spotify’s first chief economist, extrapolates music’s journey into eight guiding principles for pivoting through the ubiquitous disruption in nearly all industries. Expect the unexpected with transferable lessons coming from Starbucks, Tupperware and even Groucho Marx. The notion of 'Tarzan Economics' ties these principles together: a framework for recognising and acting on disruption, by letting go of the old vine and grabbing onto the new. Page joyfully brings these insights to life and provides a guide for knowing not just how to grab the new vine, but when. He assesses the new dynamics of the 'long tail', identifies friends and foes in the battle for scarce attention and provides a practical tool for discovering the right role for each of us to succeed in this new modern world.
As we emerge from the unprecedented disruption of a global pandemic, Pivot shows all of us - individuals, organisations and institutions - that if the vine we are holding onto is withering, we can have confidence to reach out for a new one in 2023 and beyond.

(Tennant) starts a new job at an under-achieving school and soon
finds himself juggling his heavy workload with a wildly

It's 1953, just days from the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, and
Penny Black can't get into the summer holiday spirit. Not when
she's about to move to Scotland â and away from everything she
knows â for good. But when Wishyouwas plops into the fireplace in
a cloud of soot and chaos, with a summons from the Royal
Postmistress herself, all of Penny's plans suddenly go up in smoke.
The intrepid pair are soon on the trail of a mysterious traitor and
a potentially deadly plot to halt the coronation. Their
investigation will take them across London's busy streets, high up
in the air and deeper into danger than they've ever been before âŚ
Part of the How to Help series of books exploring issues commonly
faced by children and young people at home and in school, Autism
Spectrum Disorder (ASD) offers a complete introduction to this
complex and often confusing topic. A lack of clarity can arise for
many reasons, including the broad spectrum of characteristics and
symptoms that can be represented within an ASD diagnosis (ranging
from the very severe, requiring 24-hour monitoring, to the mild but
no less important, where the individual can be successfully
included in education and society), and the many competing
interventions and treatments all purporting to be successful.
Arguing that every child and young person with autism can and
should lead an inclusive and fulfilling life, Jo-Ann Page and Gavin
Reid show that it is up to us as adults to ensure that this is
possible - and show how parents, carers, teachers and schools can
help.

Patrick, author of The Library of Lost and Found She can't recall
what started her collection. Maybe it was in a fragment of
conversation overheard as she cleaned a sink? Before long (as she
dusted a sitting room or defrosted a fridge) she noticed people
were telling her their stories. Perhaps they always had done, but
now it is different, now the stories are reaching out to her and
she gathers them to her... When Janice starts cleaning for Mrs B -
a shrewd and tricksy woman in her nineties - she meets someone who
wants to hear her story. But Janice is clear: she is the keeper of
stories, she doesn't have a story to tell. At least, not one she
can share. Mrs B is no fool and knows there is more to Janice than
meets the eye. What is she hiding? After all, doesn't everyone have
a story to tell? Readers are loving Sally Page: 'Oh my giddy aunt
what an amazing book...absolutely adored it from start to finish'

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'The emergence
of our true selves is all of our life's work. Pageboy helps chart
the course.' Jamie Lee Curtis 'Searing, deeply moving, and
incredibly poignant... This isn't simply a book on what it means to
be trans, it's about what it means to be human.' Alok Vaid-Menon
Full of intimate stories, from chasing down secret love affairs to
battling body image and struggling with familial strife, Pageboy is
a love letter to the power of being seen. With this evocative and
lyrical debut, Elliot Page captures the universal human experience
of searching for ourselves and our place in this complicated world.
'Can I kiss you?' It was two months before the world premiere of
Juno, and Elliot Page was in his first ever queer bar. The hot
summer air hung heavy around him as he looked at her. And then it
happened. In front of everyone. The unthinkable. Here he was on the
precipice of discovering himself as a queer person, as a trans
person. Getting closer to his desires, his dreams, himself, without
the repression he'd carried for so long. But for Elliot, two steps
forward had always come with one step back. With Juno's massive
success, Elliot became one of the world's most beloved actors. His
dreams were coming true, but the pressure to perform suffocated
him. He was forced to play the part of the glossy young starlet, a
role that made his skin crawl, on and off set. The career that had
been an escape out of his reality and into a world of imagination
was suddenly a nightmare. As he navigated criticism and abuse from
some of the most powerful people in Hollywood, a past that snapped
at his heels and a society dead set on forcing him into a binary,
Elliot often stayed silent, unsure of what to do. Until enough was
enough. The Oscar-nominated star who captivated the world with his
performance in Juno finally shares his story in a groundbreaking
and inspiring memoir about love, family, fame - and stepping into
who we truly are with strength, joy and connection.
