Good Strategy Bad Strategy: The Difference and Why It Matters
by Richard P. Rumelt
Genres: Business, Nonfiction, Leadership, Management, Buisness, Entrepreneurship, Design
Average rating on Goodreads: 4.13

Clears out the mumbo jumbo and muddled thinking underlying too many strategies and provides a clear way to create and implement a powerful action-oriented strategy for the real world Developing and implementing a strategy is the central task of a leader, whether the CEO at a Fortune 100 company, an entrepreneur, a church pastor, the head of a school, or a government official. Richard Rumelt shows that there has been a growing and unfortunate tendency to equate Mom-and-apple-pie values, fluffy packages of buzzwords, motivational slogans, and financial goals with “strategy.” He debunks these elements of “bad strategy” and awakens an understanding of the power of a “good strategy.” A good strategy is a specific and coherent response to—and approach for overcoming—the obstacles to progress. A good strategy works by harnessing and applying power where it will have the greatest effect in challenges as varied as putting a man on the moon, fighting a war, launching a new product, responding to changing market dynamics, starting a charter school, or setting up a government program. Rumelt’snine sources of power—ranging from using leverage to effectively focusing on growth—are eye-opening yet pragmatic tools that can be put to work on Monday morning.Surprisingly, a good strategy is often unexpected because most organizations don’t have one. Instead, they have “visions,” mistake financial goals for strategy,and pursue a “dog’s dinner” of conflicting policies and actions.Rumelt argues that the heart of a good strategy is insight—into the true nature of the situation, into the hidden power in a situation, and into an appropriate response. He shows you how insight can be cultivated with a wide variety of tools for guiding yourown thinking.Good Strategy/Bad Strategy uses fascinating examples from business, nonprofit, and military affairs to bring its original and pragmatic ideas to life. The detailed examples range from Apple to General Motors, from the two Iraq wars to Afghanistan, from a small local market to Wal-Mart, from Nvidia to Silicon Graphics, from the Getty Trust to the Los Angeles Unified School District, from Cisco Systems to Paccar, and from Global Crossing to the 2007–08 financial crisis.Reflecting an astonishing grasp and integration of economics, finance, technology, history, and the brilliance and foibles of the human character, Good Strategy/Bad Strategy stems from Rumelt’s decades of digging beyond the superficial to address hard questions with honesty and integrity.From the Hardcover edition.

Cass is having a hard time since the night she saw the car in the woods, on the winding rural road, in the middle of a downpour, with the woman sitting inside—the woman who was killed. She’s been trying to put the crime out of her mind; what could she have done, really? It’s a dangerous road to be on in the middle of a storm. Her husband would be furious if he knew she’d broken her promise not to take that shortcut home. And she probably would only have been hurt herself if she’d stopped.But since then, she’s been forgetting every little thing: where she left the car, if she took her pills, the alarm code, why she ordered a pram when she doesn’t have a baby.The only thing she can’t forget is that woman, the woman she might have saved, and the terrible nagging guilt.Or the silent calls she’s receiving, or the feeling that someone’s watching her…

هو من أَجَلّ كتب ابن ماجه وأعظمها وأبقاها على الزمان، وبها عُرِف واشتُهِر.وهو سادس الكتب الستة على القول المشهور؛ إذ كان المتقدمون يعدّون الكتب الأصول خمسة: الصحيحين، وسنن أبي داود، والترمذي، والنسائي، ثم ألحق بها سنن ابن ماجه.وإنما قُدِّم على غيره من الكتب؛ لما فيه من الجوانب التي تفضل به على غيره، ولما فيه من الزوائد على الكتب الخمسة الأصول، ولما فيه من الفقه وحسن الترتيب، وجَودة سَوق الأحاديث واختصار المتون.كما يمتاز سنن ابن ماجه بدقة الترتيب وكثرة الأبواب، وتناسبها مع ما اشتملت عليه من الفقه، وعدد كتبه (37) كتاباً، وعدد أبوابه (1500) باباً.قال الحافظ ابن حجر: كتابه في السنن جامعٌ جيّدٌ كثيرُ الأبواب والغرائب.وقد رَتّب ابنُ ماجه سننَهُ على الكتب والأبواب الفقهية، وقد أحسن وأجاد حينما بدأها بباب اتباع سنة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، وساق فيه الأحاديث الدالّةَ على حُجّية السنة، ووجوب اتباعها والعمل بها.وسنن ابن ماجه منها: الصحيح، والحسن، والضعيف، بل والمنكر والموضوع على قلة. ومهما يكن من شيء، فالأحاديث الموضوعة قليلة بالنسبة إلى جملة أحاديث الكتاب، التي تزيد عن أربعة آلاف حديث، فهي لم تَغُضّ من قيمة الكتاب، فسنن ابن ماجه أصل من أصول السنة، وينبوع من ينابيعها.ويبلغ عدد أحاديثه (4341) حديثاً، منها (3002) حديثاً وردت في الكتب الخمسة أو بعضها، أما زياداته على الخمسة فهي (1339) حديثاً، منها (428) حديثاً صحيحاً، و(613) حديثاً ضعيفاً، و(99) حديثاً ما بين واهية الإسناد أو منكرة موضوعة.والإمام ابن ماجه هو: محمد بن يزيد بن ماجه الرَبعي القَزويني، أبو عبد الله، أحد الأئمة في علم الحديث، من أهل قَزوين، ولد سنة (209ﻫ)، رحل إلى البصرة وبغداد والشام ومصر والحجاز والرَي في طلب الحديث، وتوفي سنة (273ﻫ)، له (تفسير القرآن) وكتاب في (تاريخ قَزوِين).بيانات الطبعة الأصلية: طبع هذا الكتاب عن الطبعة الأصلية المعتمدة المطبوعة في مطبعة عيسى البابي الحلبي وشركاه بمصر سنة 1373ﻫ-1954م، بتحقيق العلامة محمد فؤاد عبد الباقي.http://www.daralnawader.com/books/boo...رابط التحميل:http://www.riyadhalelm.com/book/9/8_s...
Starman Jones
by Robert A. Heinlein
Genres: Science Fiction, Fiction, Young Adult, Audiobook, Science Fiction Fantasy, Adventure, Space Opera
Average rating on Goodreads: 3.87

The stars were closed to Max Jones. To get into space you either needed connections, a membership in the Guild, or a whole lot more money than Max, the son of a widowed, poor mother, was ever going to have. What Max does have going for him are his uncle’s prized astrogation manuals—book on star navigation that Max literally commits to memory word for word, equation for equation. From the First Golden Age of Heinlein, this is the so-called juvenile (written, Heinlein always claims, just as much for adults) that started them all and made Heinlein a legend for multiple generations of readers.

Chaos is coming, old son. 


With those words the peace of Three Pines is shattered.

What past did he leave behind and why has he buried himself in this tiny village? And why does every lead in the investigation find its way back to him?

The Jumping Frog
by Mark Twain
Genres: Classics, Short Stories, Fiction, Humor, Literature, 19th Century, American
Average rating on Goodreads: 3.70

Mark Twain's Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County is a story of the crusty Jim Smiley, a man who so loved to bet on animals - horses, dogs, etc. - that he trained a frog to be the strongest jumper in his county.   Twain's broad yet graceful humor is beautifully complemented by the elegant woodcuts of Alan James Robinson. Finely reproduced, these illustrations bring Twain's great comic tale to life. Twain's classic tale of the Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County is in three the original tale published in 1865, the first French translation of the story, and Twain's tongue-in-cheek verbatim re-translation into English.
Lovingkindness: The Revolutionary Art of Happiness
by Sharon Salzberg
Genres: Buddhism, Spirituality, Nonfiction, Self Help, Psychology, Philosophy, Personal Development
Average rating on Goodreads: 4.19

Throughout our lives we long to love ourselves more deeply and find a greater sense of connection with others. Our fear of intimacy—both with others and with ourselves—creates feelings of pain and longing. But these feelings can also awaken in us the desire for freedom and the willingness to take up the spiritual path.In this inspiring book, Sharon Salzberg, one of America's leading spiritual teachers, shows us how the Buddhist path of lovingkindness ( metta in Pali), can help us discover the radiant, joyful heart within each of us. This practice of lovingkindness is revolutionary because it has the power to radically change our lives, helping us create true happiness in ourselves and genuine compassion for others. The Buddha described the nature of such a spiritual path as "the liberation of the heart, which is love." The author draws on simple Buddhist teachings, wisdom stories from various traditions, guided meditation practices, and her own experience from twenty-five years of practice and teaching to illustrate how each one of us can cultivate love, compassion, joy, and equanimity—the four "heavenly abodes" of traditional Buddhism.

Cane
by Jean Toomer
Genres: Fiction, Poetry, Classics, Short Stories, African American, Literature, Race
Average rating on Goodreads: 3.84

A literary masterpiece of the Harlem Renaissance, Cane is a powerful work of innovative fiction evoking black life in the South. The sketches, poems, and stories of black rural and urban life that make up Cane are rich in imagery. Visions of smoke, sugarcane, dusk, and flame permeate the Southern landscape: the Northern world is pictured as a harsher reality of asphalt streets. Impressionistic, sometimes surrealistic, the pieces are redolent of nature and Africa, with sensuous appeals to eye and ear.

Malevil
by Robert Merle
Genres: Science Fiction, Fiction, Post Apocalyptic, Dystopia, France, Apocalyptic, Novels
Average rating on Goodreads: 4.24

À la suite d'une explosion, sans doute nucléaire, qui a selon toute vraisemblance ravagé la Terre entière, Emmanuel Comte et ses six compagnons font du château de Malevil, dont la profonde cave leur a permis de survivre, la base de départ de leurs efforts de reconstruction de la civilisation, qui passera également par l'affrontement avec d'autres groupes de survivants, que ce soient des bandes errantes ou des groupes structurés nomades ou sédentaires.La qualification de science-fiction peut être considérée comme exagérée, concernant ce roman, puisque seule la situation de départ (la destruction de la civilisation humaine par une explosion d'origine inconnue) rejoint le thème post-apocalyptique, alors très populaire en science-fiction. Tout le reste du roman raconte comment un groupe de survivants miraculés relève le défi de la reconstruction d'une société humaine. De ce point de vue, on peut dire que le roman relève du genre de la robinsonade.De nombreux thèmes sont abordés dans ce roman : la religion, la politique, la place des femmes dans la société, le monde rural, le rôle du chef, certes sous l'angle d'une mini-communauté mais qui renvoient à notre société.
