An updated edition of the international bestseller with inspirational stories and new resources to transform your life.
Imagine a workplace where everyone chooses to bring energy, passion and a positive attitude to the job every day. In this engrossing parable, a fictional manager has the responsibility of turning a chronically unenthusiastic and unhelpful department into an effective team.
Seattle's Pike Place Fish is a world famous market that is wildly successful thanks to its fun, bustling, joyful atmosphere and great customer service. By applying ingeniously simple lessons learned from the Pike Place, our manager discovers how to energise and transform her workplace.
Addressing today's most pressing work issues with an engaging metaphor and an appealing message, FISH! offers wisdom that is easy to grasp, instantly applicable, and profound.
This volume explores the history of eugenics in four Dominions of
the British Empire: New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and South
Africa. These self-governing colonies reshaped ideas absorbed from
the metropole in accord with local conditions and ideals. Compared
to Britain (and the US, Germany, and Scandinavia), their
orientation was generally less hereditarian and more populist and
agrarian. It also reflected the view that these young and
enterprising societies could potentially show Britain the way - if
they were protected from internal and external threat. This volume
contributes to the increasingly comparative and international
literature on the history of eugenics and to several ongoing
historiographic debates, especially around issues of race. As
white-settler societies, questions related to racial mixing and
purity were inescapable, and a notable contribution of this volume
is its attention to Indigenous populations, both as targets and on
occasion agents of eugenic ideology.
This volume details generation of gene-edited cell lines and
organisms as models for human diseases, pest control, and large
animal welfare and production outcomes. Chapters guide readers
through gene regulation, editing, screening of cell lines, genome
editing, and an overview of the tools for efficient genome editing
including; ZFNs, TALENs, and CRISPR. Written in the format of the
highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, each chapter
includes an introduction to the topic, lists necessary materials
and reagents, includes tips on troubleshooting and known pitfalls,
and step- by-step, readily reproducible protocols. Authoritative
and cutting-edge, Applications of Genome Modulation and Editing
aims to be a useful and practical guide for researchers to commence
or advance their study in this field.
The phenomenal bestseller FISH! has sold more than one million

Now, with the FISH! Omnibus, readers can enjoy the wisdom of FISH!
and its sequels FISH! TALES and FISH! STICKS in one book. FISH! is
a powerful parable that will help you love the work you do - even
if you can't always do work that you love. In this engaging
metaphor, a fictional manager transforms a chronically
unenthusiastic department into an effective team by applying
ingeniously simple lessons learnt from Pike Place Fish, a wildly
successful local fishmonger. The parable addresses today's most
pressing work issues and offers easy to grasp, profound wisdom -
the hallmark of a business classic. With FISH! TALES, readers can
learn how people from four real-life businesses boosted morale and
improved results by implementing the FISH! principles. Here are
specific and tested techniques that can be put to use immediately
in any kind of business or organisation - even at home. FISH! TALES
features dozens of success stories, and it details a twelve-week
programme with specific steps and action plans to help you find
greater fulfilment - while inspiring those around you to do the

vision for your business - and to keep it alive and renewed through
the tough and changing times, such as turnover in management and
staff. FISH! STICKS will show you sustainable ways to establish an
invigorating management style that really works.
It doesn't matter if you are an individual contributor who wants to hang on to a better work life or a CEO who wants to maintain a new high level of productivity: Sustaining change is the true test of leadership. Holding on to a culture of innovation, maintaining a higher quality of work life, constantly renewing an important customer service program, or retaining a more participative management style require the use of an unique set of principles that are different than those used simply to initiate a change . . . External energy is often what it takes to catch our attention in a busy world. But external energy cannot sustain a change. That takes a different source of energy: natural energy." --from the Introduction to

A double bill of animated features. In 'Despicable Me' (2010),
trying to outdo his main rival Vector (voice of Jason Segel),
serial villain Gru (Steve Carell) hatches a plan to steal the moon,
aided by his army of genetically altered corn pops. About to set
his dastardly plan in motion, and bristling with his arsenal of
freeze-rays and sci-fi gadgetry, all goes according to plan until
the arrival at his door of three little orphan girls, Margo
(Miranda Cosgrove), Agnes (Elsie Fisher) and Edith (Dana Gaier), in
search of a father figure. In 'Despicable Me 2' (2013), now living
a life of domestic bliss in suburbia with adopted daughters Margo,
Agnes and Edith, Gru's world is turned upside down when he finds
himself abducted by agent Lucy Wilde (Kristen Wiig) of the
Anti-Villain League on the orders of boss Silas Ramsbottom (Steve
Coogan). All is not what it seems, however, for with the world
threatened by the new and dastardly super-villain known as Eduardo
(Benjamin Bratt), it falls to the unique talents of Gru and his
minions to step up to the plate and finally save the day.
In this volume distinguished scholars from different social science disciplines assess the emerging international order. The volume's three sections examine theories and strategies of order; the prospects of the major likely contenders for world leadership (the United States, Russia, China, the European Union, Japan and India); and the challenges to world order, including globalization, nationalism, ethnic and religious conflict, environmental degradation, and the spread of weapons of mass destruction. This book thus offers a comprehensive account of the prospects for a peaceful and just international order in the next century.
The Celtic Jersey is a comprehensive and evocative history of one
of the most famous and iconic football shirts of them all. Through
a breathtaking collection of historic match-worn jerseys, this
stunning coffee table book tells the story of the green-and-white
hoops, and the great players who have pulled it on. In doing so The
Celtic Jersey also provides a unique insight into the history of
the club itself. So much more than a football shirt, 'the Hoops'
are steeped in cultural and political significance which makes them
sacred to followers of Celtic Football Club and instantly
recognised the world over. Compiled with the help of the key
collectors of match worn Celtic shirts, this unique publication
showcases both home and away jerseys worn by club legends from
Jimmy Johnstone and Henrik Larsson, to current icon Scott Brown.
With many of the jerseys originating from the personal collection
of legendary kit man Neilly Mochan, the book includes several
opposition jerseys swapped during Celtic's glorious 1960s and 1970s
European Cup campaigns, and a jersey from the infamous
Intercontinental Cup tie against Racing Club of Argentina in 1967.
In the words of the late Tommy Burns, "When you pull on that
jersey, you're not just playing for a football team. You're playing
for a people and a cause."
Before it was written, this book was spoken. For ten winter days in
1977, the orator Paul John-widely respected as a dean of Yup'ik
elders, and recognized for his tireless advocacy of Yup'ik language
and traditions-held an audience of Yup'ik students rapt at Nelson
Island High School, in southwest Alaska. Hour after hour he spoke
to the young people, sharing life experiences and Yup'ik
narratives, never repeating a tale. Now, more than a
quarter-century after Paul John's extraordinary performance, Sophie
Shield's translations and Ann Fienup-Riordan's editing have brought
his words back to life, and to a new audience. This book records
one elder's attempt to create a moral universe for future
generations through stories about the special knowledge of the
Yup'ik people. Tales both authentically Yup'ik and marked by Paul
John's own unique innovations are presented in a bilingual edition,
with Yup'ik and English text presented in facing pages. As Paul
John says, "In this whole world, whoever we are, if people speak
using their own language, they will be presenting their identity
and it will be their strength."

Action film based on the Playstation/Xbox fighting game. In the year 2039, the all-powerful Tekken Corporation controls the whole of America. When rebel teen street fighter Jin Kazama (Jon Foo) witnesses the murder of his beloved mother by the Corporation, he takes on a Tekken ID and sets out to avenge her death.
Investigating autobiographical writing of Mary McCarthy, Henry
James, Jean-Paul Sartre, Saul Friedlander, and Maxine Hong
Kingston, this book argues that autobiographical truth is not a
fixed but an evolving content in a process of self-creation.
Further, Paul John Eakin contends, the self at the center of all
autobiography is necessarily fictive. Professor Eakin shows that
the autobiographical impulse is simply a special form of reflexive
consciousness: from a developmental viewpoint, the autobiographical
act is a mode of self-invention always practiced first in living
and only eventually, and occasionally, in writing. Originally
published in 1985. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
The movement of people from the fen edge and river valleys into the
clay lands of eastern England has become a growing area of
research. The opportunity of studying such an environment and
investigating the human activities that took place there became
available 9 km to the north-west of Cambridge at the village of
Longstanton. The archaeological excavations that took place over a
sixteen year period have made a significant contribution to
charting the emergence of a Cambridgeshire clayland settlement and
its community over six millennia. Evolution of a Community
chronologically documents the colonisation of this clay inland
location and outlines how it was not an area on the periphery of
activity, but part of a fully occupied landscape extending back
into the Mesolithic period. Subsequent visits during the Late
Neolithic became more focused when the locality appears to have
been part of a religious landscape that included a possible barrow
site and ritual pit deposits. The excavations indicate that the
earliest permanent settlement at the site dates to the Late Bronze
Age, with the subsequent Iron Age phases characterised as a small,
modest and inward-looking community that endured into the Roman
period with very little evidence for disjuncture during the
transition. The significant discovery of a group of seventh-century
Anglo-Saxon burials which produced rare evidence for infectious
deceases is discussed within the context of 'final phase'
cemeteries and the influence of visible prehistoric features within
the local landscape. The excavation of the Late Anglo-Saxon and
medieval rural settlement defined its origins and layout which,
alongside the artefactual and archaeobotanical assemblages
recovered creates a profile over time of the life and livelihood of
this community that is firmly placed within its historical context.
