Zustand: Used - Very Good. Product DescriptionFor six years Bailey Lockhart has lived alone in the Alaskan bush, supporting herself from the cockpit of a floatplane. She is the only white woman in a land owned by the local Ingalik tribe; her closest neighbor is a fellow bush pilot and activist named Kash. Bailey and Kash are drawn to each other, but their fiercely independent natures keep them apart. When two Easterners hire Bailey to pilot them into the bush, a series of events is set in motion that will upset the delicate racial balance of the land and lead to violence. As the truth behind the couple's arrival becomes apparent, the refuge Bailey has created for herself shatters.

Along the way, the authors offer advice on mail handling, delegating, promptness, and at least 19 other "get organized" chores or tasks that manage to devour valuable time. Of most interest are the summaries at the end of every chapter ("checkpoint and review") and the list of 170 ways to do things better, from sending postcards instead of letters to preparing a written agenda for all meetings. Helpful, sound, sense-filled recommendation; but who's got the time to read and digest and implement?
