Soon Come - Kuba Shand Baptiste - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Centred in a Jamaican restaurant in London, Judith, Mikey and Frankie help each other attempt to plant roots in a country that has been anything but kind to them.Disruptor Mikey uses art and politics to respond to the injustices he sees. Judith conforms, seeking financial security in an ordinary life as a nurse in order to take care of her family back home. Frankie takes life less seriously - he''s been judged all his life, but what he lacks in luck, he makes up for in community. Despite their differences, the group''s shared tenacity fosters a unique sense of identity, courage and belonging as they are each drawn back to the restaurant over a number of years. Inspired by the true stories of three older British-Jamaican citizens, Soon Come shines a light on the everyday lives of London''s Caribbean diaspora, revealing the hopes, dreams and uncrushable spirit of the generation.

Travellers in the Golden Realm - Lubaaba Al Azami - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Travellers in the Golden Realm - Lubaaba Al Azami - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Shortlisted for The British in India Book Prize 2025 ''A spellbinding account of the first forgotten half of the English encounter with India with a fascinating history of the Mughal Empire'' JOSEPHINE QUINN , author of How the World Made the West ''Compelling, highly readable'' NANDINI DAS , author of Courting India ''Remarkable'' THE TIMES When the first English travellers in India encountered an unimaginable superpower, their meetings would change the world. Before the East India Company and before the British Empire, England was a pariah state. Seeking better fortunes, 16th and 17th century merchants, pilgrims and outcasts ventured to the kingdom of the mighty Mughals, attempting to sell coarse woollen broadcloth along the silk roads; playing courtiers in the Mughal palaces in pursuit of love; or simply touring the sub-continent in search of an elephant to ride. Into this golden realm went Father Thomas Stephens, a Catholic fleeing his home; the merchant Ralph Fitch looking for jewels in the markets of Delhi; and John Mildenhall, an adventurer revelling in the highwire politics of the Mughal elite. It was a land ruled from the palatial towers by women - the formidable Empress Nur Jahan Begim, the enterprising Queen Mother Maryam al-Zamani, and the intrepid Princess Jahanara Begim. Their collision of worlds helped connect East and West, launching a tempestuous period of globalisation spanning from the Chinese opium trade to the slave trade in the Americas.Drawing on rich, original sources, Lubaaba Al-Azami traces the origins of a relationship between two nations - one outsider and one superpower - whose cultures remain inextricably linked to this day.

Leadership At Scale - Claudio Et Al Feser - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Leadership At Scale - Claudio Et Al Feser - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Traditional approaches to leadership development focus on a small number of individuals at the top. However, in today''s world of constant change and decentralized decision-making, organizations need effective leaders at all levels of their organizations. That requires a much broader and deeper pool of leadership talent, and most organizations fall far short of what they need.Leadership at Scale defines a new approach. In it, top experts at McKinsey, the world''s number one leadership factory, expose the secrets of how to drive leadership development that reaches the entire organization, adapts to diverse contexts and achieves impact at scale. Grounded in extensive research and the global experience of +25 leadership experts and illustrated with a fictional step-by-step case with numerous real-life examples, this book provides leaders with the systematic and fact-based approach they need to unlock organizational performance through leadership effectiveness.

Mathematics: All That Matters - Mike Askew - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Mathematics: All That Matters - Mike Askew - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Mathematics often gets a bad press. Describing someone as ''calculating'' or ''rational'' is hardly as flattering as being labelled ''artistic'' or ''creative'' and mathematicians in movies or novels are often portrayed as social misfits who rarely get the guy or girl. No wonder some folks say ''oh I don''t care for mathematics, I was never any good at it'' with a wistful sense of pride.Yet professional mathematicians talk of the subject differently. They look for elegant solutions to problems, revel in playing around with mathematical ideas and talk of the creative nature of mathematics. As the Russian mathematician Sophia Kovalevskaya said "It is impossible to be a mathematician without being a poet in soul."By looking at some of the history of mathematics, psychological studies into how we come to know mathematics and key ideas in mathematics itself, this book will, if not make you fall in love with mathematics, then at least come to understand its nature a little better. Perhaps after reading, you will even care a little more for it.

VOLUME 1 IN THE UNFORGETTABLE STORY OF AN EXTRAORDINARY CHILDHOOD The Arab of the Future tells the unforgettable story of Riad Sattouf''s childhood, spent in the shadows of three dictators - Muammar Gaddafi, Hafez al-Assad, and his father. A GUARDIAN BOOK OF THE YEAR | AN OBSERVER GRAPHIC BOOK OF THE YEAR | A NEW YORK TIMES CRITICS'' TOP BOOK OF THE YEAR ''I tore through it... The most enjoyable graphic novel I''ve read in a while'' Zadie Smith ''I joyously recommend this book to you'' Mark Haddon ''Riad Sattouf is one of the great creators of our time'' Alain De Botton ''Beautifully-written and drawn, witty, sad, fascinating... Brilliant'' Simon Sebag MontefioreIn a striking, virtuoso graphic style that captures both the immediacy of childhood and the fervour of political idealism, Riad Sattouf recounts his nomadic childhood growing up in rural France, Gaddafi''s Libya, and Assad''s Syria - but always under the roof of his father, a Syrian Pan-Arabist who drags his family along in his pursuit of grandiose dreams for the Arab nation.Riad, delicate and wide-eyed, follows in the trail of his mismatched parents: his mother, a bookish French student, is as modest as his father is flamboyant. Venturing first to the Great Socialist People''s Libyan Arab State and then joining the family tribe in Homs, Syria, they hold fast to the vision of the paradise that always lies just around the corner. And hold they do, though food is scarce, children kill dogs for sport, and with locks banned, the Sattoufs come home one day to discover another family occupying their apartment. The ultimate outsider, Riad, with his flowing blond hair, is called the ultimate insult... Jewish. And in no time at all, his father has come up with yet another grand plan, moving from building a new people to building his own great palace.Brimming with life and dark humour, The Arab of the Future reveals the truth and texture of one eccentric family in an absurd Middle East, and also introduces a master cartoonist in a work destined to stand alongside Maus and Persepolis .
