Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. There comes a time when silence has to be broken, and voices must rise and speak out against the veil of tradition. Why now, and why me?

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Lesley Visser is living proof that, no matter where you start, if you are motivated and passionate, your dreams can come true. When Lesley was 11, she told her mother that she wanted to be a sportswriter. The job didn't exist for women in 1964, but her mother -- instead of suggesting she become a teacher or a nurse -- replied, 'Great! Sometimes you have to cross when it says, 'Don't walk.'' That answer changed Lesley's life. Even though no one had done it before, it gave her the strength and self-confidence to try -- permission to cross against the light. When Lesley began, the credentials said, 'No Women or Children in the Press Box,' but she didn't let that stop her. Lesley covered sports for more than 40 years, pioneering women's journalistic presence in men's professional sports, from inside the locker room to out on the field. She's the first and only woman to be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and to ever present the Vince Lombardi Trophy at the Super Bowl. And she's the only sportscaster in history to have worked on the network broadcasts of the Final Four, Super Bowl, World Series, NBA Finals, Triple Crown, Olympics, U.S. Open, and the World Figure Skating Championship. Lesley currently appears on CBS's 'We Need to Talk,' the first-ever nationally televised all-female weekly hour-long sports show. Lesley's had her share of hurdles and stumbles. But with passion, perseverance, and dedication, she found a way to achieve her dream, learning valuable lessons along the way. (Hint: Humor goes further than anger, and no, we can't all look like Beyonce.) In Sometimes You Have to Cross When It Says 'Don't Walk,' Lesley Visser shares her historic journey through the world of sports broadcasting with innate wisdom and good humor. For sports fans who grew up with Lesley, her memoir reads like a walk down memory lane, full of behind-the-camera, VIP-access stories involving John Madden, Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, Joe Torre, and many more famous sports figures. But even those hearing her story for the first time, no matter what their background, will be inspired to chase their dreams, blaze new trails, and pursue the life they want.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Award-winning journalist Gillian Tett applies her anthropologist's lens to the problem of why so many organizations still suffer from a failure to communicate. It's a profound idea, richly analyzed (The Wall Street Journal), about how our tendency to create functional departments--silos--hinders our work. The Silo Effect asks a basic question: why do humans working in modern institutions collectively act in ways that sometimes seem stupid? Why do normally clever people fail to see risks and opportunities that later seem blindingly obvious? Why, as Daniel Kahnemann, the psychologist put it, are we sometimes so blind to our own blindness? Gillian Tett, a first-rate journalist and a good storyteller (The New York Times), answers these questions by plumbing her background as an anthropologist and her experience reporting on the financial crisis in 2008. In The Silo Effect, she shares eight different tales of the silo syndrome, spanning Bloomberg's City Hall in New York, the Bank of England in London, Cleveland Clinic hospital in Ohio, UBS bank in Switzerland, Facebook in San Francisco, Sony in Tokyo, the BlueMountain hedge fund, and the Chicago police. Some of these narratives illustrate how foolishly people can behave when they are mastered by silos. Others, however, show how institutions and individuals can master their silos instead. Highly intelligent, enjoyable, and enlivened by a string of vivid case studies.The Silo Effect is also genuinely important, because Tett's prescription for curing the pathological silo-isation of business and government is refreshingly unorthodox and, in my view, convincing (Financial Times). This is an enjoyable call to action for better integration within organizations (Publishers Weekly).…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. One of the main reasons why people don't pray--or don't pray more often--is because they don't know how to pray. In Praying the Way Jesus Prayed, Mark Link, SJ, simplifies and clarifies for everyone the process of how to pray. By looking closely at the example of Jesus, Fr. Link shows readers uncomfortable with praying how to pray effectively, and he shows those who already routinely engage in prayer how to pray in ways that lead to an even richer, deeper communication with God.…
