Fire eaters : the people and aircraft combatting wildfires over the last century / by Pigott, Peter,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The riveting history of how aircraft have transformed the fighting of wildfires. Throughout history, when threatened by wildfires our only defence was to pray for rain and run -- until aircraft changed the way we fight fires. Beginning with the Canadian "H-Boats" in 1924, aircraft have become indispensable in detecting and extinguishing wildfires. Fire Eaters tells the incredible stories of the Ontario Provincial Air Service, the first government aerial fire suppression organization in history; one of its pilots, Carl Crossley, who invented the water scoop-up and drop-off system; and the Canadair CL-215, the first purpose-built water bomber. Today, helicopters with "Bambi Buckets" and snorkels can dump water while hovering directly over the flames, and Air Tractors and Dash 8-400AT air tankers not only perform a crucial role in saving communities but also protect our ecosystem. Satellites -- unmanned aircraft able to fly for sixteen hours, even overnight when manned aircraft do not -- and artificial intelligence already play a decisive role in fire management. But it is the men and women of the aerial fire service who have really changed the way we fight fire around the world. Their bravery and dedication mean that response times are fast, fires can be contained sooner, and people have the chance to save rather than lose everything"--

The blue horse / by Borgos, Bruce,author.;
"A controversial wild horse round-up in the high desert of Nevada results in two murders and too many suspects for Sheriff Porter Beck to deal with. A helicopter driving a controversial round-up of wild horses suddenly crashes and the pilot is found to have been shot. Then the person coordinating the round-up for the Bureau of Land Management is savagely murdered, buried up to her neck and then trampled to death by the very same wild horses. And there's no lack of suspects -- with the wild horse advocacy group having sworn to protect the horse At Any Cost! Now the state and federal agencies are showing up looking for answers or at least a scapegoat. Sheriff Porter Beck has had better days. Porter Beck's new girlfriend, Detective Charlie Blue Horse, arrives to help with the investigation, which leads them to Canadian Lithium mining operation near the round-up area that sets off Beck's mental alarm bells. Brinley, Beck's sister, is leading a group of troubled kids in a wilderness program, when one of them, Rafa, bolts one night. When Brinley catches up to him, they're just outside the mine -- in the wrong place, at the wrong time. With his personal life in turmoil, too many suspects and too many secrets, the feds pushing for a quick resolution, and his impetuous (if skilled) sister in the mix, one wrong step could be deadly for Porter Beck"--

Talent wins : the new playbook for putting people first / by Charan, Ram,author.; Barton, Dominic,author.; Carey, Dennis C.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Most executives today recognize the competitive advantage of human capital, and yet the talent practices their organizations use are stuck in the twentieth century. Typical HR talent-planning processes (which are too expensive and take too long to implement) are designed for predictable environments, traditional ways of getting work done, and organizations where "lines and boxes" still define how people are managed. As work and organizations have become more fluid--and business strategy is no longer about planning years out but about sensing and seizing new opportunities and adapting to a constantly changing environment--companies must deploy talent in new ways to remain competitive. Written for CEOs and leaders across the organization, Talent Rules provides a much-needed framework for transforming how companies acquire, manage, and deploy talent--for today's agile, digital, analytical, technologically driven strategic environment--and for creating the HR function the business needs. With examples of companies that are well along the path of reinventing their approaches to talent, such as Amgen, AT&T, BlackRock, GE, Haier, J&J, and PepsiCo, as well as the juggernauts and the start-ups of Silicon Valley, this book provides leaders with a seven-part plan for: Integrating talent and capital Making talent drive strategy Designing and redesigning the work of the organization Scaling up individual talent Creating an M&A strategy for talent Reinventing the role of HR Living the talent agenda Providing deep, expert insight and advice for what needs to change and how to change it, Talent Rules is the definitive book for reimagining and creating the talent-driven organization.--

Rogers v. Rogers : the battle for control of Canada's telecom empire / by Posadzki, Alexandra,author.;
"A riveting and definitive account that takes us inside the spectacular battle for control of Canada's largest wireless carrier, and paints a larger picture of the telecom industry, known for its cut-throat competetiveness and high stakes drama. Alexandra Posadzki's groundbreaking coverage in the Globe and Mail of the long-simmering tensions within Rogers exposed one of the most spectacular boardroom and family dramas in Canadian corporate history--one that has not only pitted the extraordinarily powerful chairman and largest shareholder, Edward Rogers, against current management but also the wishes of his own late mother, and sisters. Hanging in the balance is no less than the recent acquisition of Shaw Communications for $26 billion, Roger's biggest deal in their history that can transform them into the truly national telecom that founder Ted Rogers always envisioned. Based on deeply sourced investigative reporting of the iconic $30 billion publicly traded telecom and media giant, Posadzki takes us inside a company that touches the lives of millions of Canadians, and challenges what we thought we knew about corporate governance and who really holds the power. Rogers vs. Rogers is also a story of family ownership and succession, of the new guard pushing back at the old guard, and how warring factions each interpret the desires of the founding patriarch and the very legacy of the company that bears their name."--

Love her or hate her, Gwyneth Paltrow has managed to stay on the A-list, her influence spanning entertainment, fashion, and the modern wellness industry.

Over the decades, she has participated in countless carefully managed interviews, but the real Gwyneth -- the basis of her motives, desires, strengths, faults, and vulnerabilities -- has never been fully revealed, until now. Based on exclusive conversations with more than 220 sources, including close current and former friends and colleagues, this deeply researched biography provides insight and behind-the-scenes details of her relationships, family, friendships, iconic films, and tenure as the CEO of Goop.

The Hazelbourne ladies motorcycle and flying club : a novel / by Simonson, Helen,author.;
"Constance Haverhill is without prospects. Her mother has just passed away, her brother is newly married, and now that the Great War is over, she has been asked to give up managing the estate she helped to run when the men all joined the army. It is suggested to her that she become a governess. But first, she will act as caretaker to Mrs. Fog, an old family friend who is convalescing at a seaside resort. Constance is soon swept up in the social whirl of the Meredith Hotel and its colorful inhabitants, most notably, Poppy Wirrall. Poppy wears trousers, operates a taxi and delivery service to employ local women, and manages a ladies' motorcycle club. She and her friends welcome Constance into their circle, despite the differences in their stations-Poppy is, for all her empowered modernity, the daughter of a land-owning gentleman, while Constance has only weeks before she must find a position and a home. Constance soon learns, however, that not everything is as it seems in this pocket of English high society. As her connection to this new group deepens and she makes a powerful impression on Poppy's recalcitrant but handsome brother-a former fighter pilot who recently lost a leg in battle-old secrets come to light. Soon, the women are forced to confront the fact that the freedoms they gained during the war are likely to be revoked as the country settles into a hard-won peace"--
