What I Didn't Learn in Business School: How Strategy Works in the Real World (Audiobook)
Meet Justin Campbell. He's a newly minted MBA who's landed a coveted job in consulting. He's headed to Chicago to serve HGS, a large client with an intriguing new technology its executives haven't yet decided how to exploit. Constrained by a short timeline and limited information, Justin and his team use state-of-the-art strategy tools to analyze various possibilities. Justin is energized by this challenging assignment, but soon finds the application of his strategy toolkit isn't as straightforward as he'd expected. The political and organizational forces swirling within HGS complicate his analyses and test his fundamental understanding of important strategic concepts.
Political Theory: The Classic Texts and Their Continuing Relevance
We all need some help in understanding the world, and that is the starting point for political theory itself. The great works of other times and places can speak to us today, wherever we are. Political theory does this better than other subjects, in part because the theorist wants us to look around and think about the specifics of the world around us, but also to lift our heads and see farther than we normally do. The theorists we will study in this course wanted very badly to reach their readers, to make them think about their world differently. They don’t tell us what to think, but we don’t see things in quite the same way after we read them.

Starred Review. Set in 1664, Gregory's exciting, intrigue-filled fifth mystery featuring English spy Thomas Chaloner (after 2009's The Westminster Poisoner) reinforces this British author's place in the front rank of those penning historicals in the genre. On the orders of the earl of Clarendon, Chaloner follows the Rev. Richard "Blue Dick" Culmer, who may be connected with political turmoil that threatens the recently restored monarchy, through the streets of London.
