Armada - Ernest Cline - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

PRE-ORDER NOW - READY PLAYER TWO: THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED SEQUEL TO READY PLAYER ONE _______________________ ''[A] masterful tale of Earth''s desperate struggle against a powerful alien foe.'' - Andy Weir, bestselling author of The Martian _______________________ It''s just another day of high school for Zack Lightman. He''s daydreaming through another boring math class, with just one more month to go until graduation and freedom-if he can make it that long without getting suspended again. Then he glances out his classroom window and spots the flying saucer. At first, Zack thinks he''s going crazy.A minute later, he''s sure of it. Because the UFO he''s staring at is straight out of the videogame he plays every night, a hugely popular online flight simulator called Armada- in which gamers just happen to be protecting the earth from alien invaders. But what Zack''s seeing is all too real. And his skills-as well as those of millions of gamers across the world-are going to be needed to save the earth from what''s about to befall it. Yet even as he and his new comrades scramble to prepare for the alien onslaught, Zack can''t help thinking of all the science-fiction books, TV shows, and movies he grew up reading and watching, and wonder: Doesn''t something about this scenario seem a little too... familiar? Armada is at once a rollicking, surprising thriller, a classic coming of age adventure, and an alien-invasion tale like nothing you''ve ever read before-one whose every page is infused with author Ernest Cline''s trademark pop-culture savvy. _______________________ Here''s what everyone''s saying about this epic masterpiece: ''a modern classic'' - R.M.

Running Like a Girl - Alexandra Heminsley - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

Running Like a Girl - Alexandra Heminsley - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

_____________________________ ''If you''ve ever wept, "Why Do I Want To Run?", your answer is here.'' CAITLIN MORANAlexandra Heminsley had high hopes: the arse of an athlete, the waist of a supermodel, the speed of a gazelle. Defeated by gyms and bored of yoga, she decided to run.Her first attempt did not end well.Six years later, she has run five marathons in two continents.But, as her dad says, you run with your head as much as with your legs. So, while this is a book about running, it''s not just about running.You could say it''s about ambition (yes, getting out of bed on a rainy Sunday morning counts), relationships (including talking to the intimidating staff in the trainer shop), as well as your body (your boobs don''t have to wobble when you run). But it''s also about realising that you can do more than you ever thought possible.Very funny, very honest and very emotional, whether you''re in serious training or thinking about running for the bus, this is a book for anyone who after wine and crisps for supper a few too many times thinks they might . . . just might . . . like to run like a girl. _____________________________ Here''s what people are saying about Running Like A Girl - and what it''s inspired them to do! ''This book has changed my attitude , I loved it from page one and found it totally relatable for the normal woman ... A real inspiration'' - Clairol on Amazon, 5 stars ''I adored this book... this is a must read '' - Emily on Amazon, 5 stars ''really opened my eyes and inspired me to continue running , fantastic read'' - Kiyone on Amazon, 5 stars ''I was so happy to start reading this fabulous book and realise that there was someone else out there who thought exactly as I did about ''not being a runner'''' - J. Watson on Amazon, 5 stars ''It''s not often I find a book that I can''t put down and this is the first for ages! ... this book echoes so many of my own limiting beliefs constructed around this subject and it was a delight to hear how Alex faced up to her own demons and finally freed her running spirit . Even if you never want to be a runner this is a fun read and an inspirational journey .'' - Joy on Amazon, 5 stars ''Inspirational... Would recommend this book to anyone thinking of running! Very well put together and has lots of information and tips'' - Maria on Amazon, 5 stars '' I laughed out loud ... for anyone wanting to get into running you will be thinking of Alexandra when you are out there taking your first few strides, and you will be grinning !'' - J. Dunne on Amazon, 5 stars ''The best thing about it is how inspiring the journey it is, how much it makes you want to get out there and run yourself. Such a fantastic aid to the beginning of your running journey '' - Emma on Amazon, 5 stars ''I have been fighting with my running demons for over 12 months and had convinced myself that I couldn''t run. This book has inspired me to put my trainers on, join a club and enter three events'' - Chimaera on Amazon, 5 stars '' Laugh-out-loud funny in places but real, genuine experience of the world of running from someone who''s been there, picked up the battered trainers and just run with it'' - Helen on Amazon, 5 stars '' hilarious - it just kept me hooked!'' - Denise on Amazon, 5 stars

Leap In - Alexandra Heminsley - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

Leap In - Alexandra Heminsley - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

''Remarkable'' Observer ''A joy to read'' Daily Telegraph ''Soaringly beautiful'' Sunday Times Magazine ''Genuine and persuasive'' Guardian Alexandra Heminsley thought she could swim. She really did. It may have been because she could run. It may have been because she wanted to swim; or perhaps because she only ever did ten minutes of breaststroke at a time. But, as she learned one day while flailing around in the sea, she really couldn’t. Believing that a life lived fully isn’t one with the most money earned, the most stuff bought or the most races won, but one with the most experiences, experienced the most fully, she decided to conquer her fear of the water. From the ignominy of getting into a wetsuit to the triumph of swimming from Kefalonia to Ithaca, in becoming a swimmer, Alexandra learns to appreciate her body and still her mind. As it turns out, the water is never as frightening once you''re in, and really, everything is better when you remember to exhale. What Hemmo''s readers are saying: ‘This book is funny, engaging, entertaining, informative, suspenseful, motivating, and inspiring... I''ve never read anything quite like it ’ ­ – Nina on Goodreads, 5 stars ‘Just like Running Like a Girl , this was an absolute joy to read. A beautifully written story of swimming, family and being a woman’ – Violet on Amazon, 5 stars ‘Fantastic book… Entertaining – often laugh-out-loud funny – and full of really useful advice’ – J. Edwards on Amazon, 5 stars ‘A fabulous book that’s beautifully written’ – Nik on Goodreads, 5 stars ‘I can''t recommend this book enough!

Little Bets - Peter Sims - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

How did Pixar go from producing CAT scan images to winning Oscars?How did Steve Jobs turn Apple into a world-beating company?How does Amazon''s culture encourage innovation?How can you find the creative solutions demanded by our ever-changing world?The answer, according to renowned business thought-leader Peter Sims, is LITTLE BETS. In these fast-moving times, it''s next to impossible to predict what''s around the corner, and harder still to formulate a foolproof plan to deal with it. Truly innovative companies, Sims argues, don''t get caught up in projections and predictions. Instead, they embrace uncertainty, take a chance, fail quickly and learn fast. This method has formulated thousands of modern advances, from Google''s PageRank to Starbucks coffee shops - if you harness its power, what could you achieve?

Turning the Flywheel - Jim Collins - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

____________ ______ * From the author of the multi-million-copy bestseller Good to Great * ‘ No matter what your walk of life, no matter how big or small your enterprise, no matter whether it’s for-profit or nonprofit, no matter whether you’re CEO or a unit leader, the question stands, How does your flywheel turn? ’ – JIM COLLINS ____________ ______ The key to business success is not a single innovation or one plan. It is the act of turning the flywheel, slowly gaining momentum and eventually reaching a breakthrough. Building upon the flywheel concept introduced in his groundbreaking classic Good to Great, Jim Collins teaches readers how to create their own flywheel, how to accelerate the flywheel’s momentum, and how to stay on the flywheel in shifting markets and during times of turbulence.Combining research from his Good to Great labs and case studies from organisations like Amazon, Vanguard, and the Cleveland Clinic which have turned their flywheels with outstanding results, Collins demonstrates that successful organisations can disrupt the world around them – and reach unprecedented success – by employing the flywheel concept.
