A girl's guide to missiles : growing up in America's secret desert / by Piper, Karen Lynnea,1965-author.;
Includes bibliographical references."A poignant, surreal, and fearlessly honest look at growing up on one of the most secretive weapons installations on earth, by a young woman who came of age with missiles. The China Lake missile range is located in a huge stretch of the Mojave Desert, about the size of the state of Delaware. It was created during the Second World War, and has always been shrouded in secrecy. But people who make missiles and other weapons are regular working people, with domestic routines and everyday dilemmas, and four of them were Karen Piper's parents, her sister, and--when she needed summer jobs--herself. Her dad designed the Sidewinder, which was ultimately used catastrophically in Vietnam. When her mom got tired of being a stay-at-home mom, she went to work on the Tomahawk. Once, when a missile nose needed to be taken offsite for final testing, her mother loaded it into the trunk of the family car, and set off down a Los Angeles freeway. Traffic was heavy, and so she stopped off at the mall, leaving the missile in the parking lot. Piper sketches in the belief systems--from Amway's get-rich schemes to propaganda in The Rocketeer to evangelism, along with fears of a Lemurian takeover and Charles Manson--that governed their lives. Her memoir is also a search for the truth of the past and what really brought her parents to China Lake with two young daughters, a story that reaches back to her father's World War II flights with contraband across Europe. Finally, it recounts the crossroads moment in a young woman's life when she finally found a way out of a culture of secrets and fear, and out of the desert."--Provided by publisher.

The power of teamwork : how we can all work better together / by Goldman, Brian,author.;
"New from the bestselling author of The Power of Kindness and host of CBC Radio's White Coat, Black Art. In the high-pressure and complex setting of healthcare, a new approach to teamwork is leading to healthy patients, happier staff and more efficient operations. Healthcare's embracing of a new teamwork model has gotten noticed by people well outside the world of medicine, so doctors are going outside the walls of the hospital to teach manufacturers, business owners, franchisees, customer and social services and even the worlds of sports and entertainment to do better by shifting the culture from "me" to "we." Drawing on groundbreaking research and examples from around the world, The Power of Teamwork shows how the team approach from medicine can improve customer service and help women break the glass ceiling. It can solidify the providing of social services to troubled youth. It can boost the efficiency and safety of the military and critical industrial complexes like nuclear power plants. It can even make professional sports teams perform better."--

Truth : a brief history of total bullsh*t / by Phillips, Tom(Journalist),author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.This is a book about TRUTH--and all the ways we try to avoid it--from the bestselling author of Humans: A Brief History of How We F*cked It All Up. We live in a "post-truth" world, we're told. But was there ever really a golden age of truth-telling? Or have people been lying, fibbing and just plain bullsh*tting since the beginning of time? Tom Phillips, editor of a leading independent fact-checking organization, deals with this question every day. In Truth, he tells the story of how we humans have spent history lying to each other--and ourselves--about everything from business to politics to plain old geography. Along the way, he chronicles the world's oldest customer service complaint, the Great Moon Hoax of 1835 and the surprisingly dishonest career of Benjamin Franklin. Sharp, witty and with a clear-eyed view of humanity's checkered past, Truth reveals why people lie--and how we can cut through the bullsh*t.
