Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this thrilling novel from Danielle Steel, a small community is tested when their children go missing while exploring a dangerous local peak, forcing them to band together during the crisis. Fishtail, Montana, is home to Anne and Pitt Pollock, local royalty, high school sweethearts, and owners of the successful Pollock ranch. The sprawling foothills of the Beartooth Mountains surround the town, overlooking the Pollocks’ property and the nearby ranch belonging to Bill and Pattie Brown. The two couples have known each other since childhood. Their sons Peter Pollock and Matt Brown are also the best of friends. When they and two other local kids meet Juliet Marshall, new to town after her parents’ bitter divorce, the five of them are soon inseparable, spending their summer days swimming, horseback riding, hiking, and fishing. But one August afternoon, their latest adventure takes a dangerous turn—and quickly escalates into a battle for survival—when they find themselves trapped on Granite Peak. Fear reverberates through the town as their parents grow ever more desperate to hear word that their children have been found. They must place their own trials aside amid a massive search-and-rescue operation. As they come to lean on one another for support, a media frenzy ensues, heightening tensions and testing some already fragile relationships. In the aftermath of this one fateful event, devastating secrets are revealed, new love appears on the horizon, and families are forced to reconsider what they once held dear. In The Challenge, Danielle Steel deftly weaves a story that is a portrait of courage and a striking tale of the bonds of love and family.

Download or read book The Challenge to Change written by Rebecca Kolins Givan and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2016-08-19 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is constant pressure on hospitals to improve health care delivery and increase cost effectiveness. New initiatives are the order of the day in the dramatically different health care systems of the United States and Great Britain. Often, as we know all too well, these efforts are not successful. In The Challenge to Change, Rebecca Kolins Givan analyzes the successes and failures of efforts to improve hospitals and explains what factors make it likely that the implementation of reforms will rewarded by positive transformation in a particular institution’s day-to-day operation. Givan’s in-depth qualitative case studies of both top-down initiatives and changes first suggested by staff on the front lines of care point clearly to the importance of all hospital workers in effecting change and even influencing national policy. Givan illuminates the critical role of workers, managers, and unions in enabling or constraining changes in policies and procedures and ensuring their implementation. Givan spotlights an Anglo-American model of hospital care and work organization, even while these countries retain their differences in access and payment. Entrenched professional roles, hierarchical workplace organization, and the sometimes-detached view of policymakers all shape the prospects for change in hospitals. Givan provides important examples of how the dedication and imagination of the people who work in hospitals can make all the difference when it comes to providing quality health care even in a challenging economic environment.

Download or read book The Challenge I written by Thomas E. Mveng and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-02-11 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advent of modernity, the requirements of development and the high level of poverty, make the struggle for life even more difficult under the tropics. It is a daily strife that goes on in a lifetime, and it is permanent. The situation is even so bad that the black continent is plying under the weight of numerous ailments made up of corruption and embezzlement of public funds; and if we had to add the systematic looting of the continents assets by the western powers, the bowl is full. We now experience a reversal of values, an abandonment of ethical and moral precepts. The degradation thus announced, sinks Africa into an endless hole and compromises its future in the long run. The race to money, material things, becomes the existing requirement. It is the survival of the fittest for poor Africa, throwing its sons in the streets, sacrificing its youth at the altar of promiscuity and vice.

Book excerpt: "Far too little work has been done around the question of value, this is a notable contribution to the field. .....This book will give you a head start in communicating the value inherent in your goods and services to the stakeholders who matter most to your business...your customers." David Thorp, Director of Research and Professional Development, The Chartered Institute of Marketing "The contents of this book are at the very heart of understanding value.

Helmut Stiegler, Manager Sales & Marketing-Sales Excellence, Siemens Industry Automation Division The Challenge of Value: First you must understand your customer and what is important (valuable) to him personally and to his business in terms of the three elements of the Value Triad. Second you must understand your competition and how you are different from them on those issues that are important to the customer. Third you have to quantify the monetary and emotional value (both positive and negative) of these differentiators. Finally you have to construct a Value Proposition that clearly explains the differentiated value that your product or service brings to the customer. At the end of the day, customers will only buy your product or service if they understand the value that you offer and they feel they have a reasonable chance of receiving that value if they purchase. That's the challenge. This book will help you meet it.

Download or read book The Challenge of the 21st Century written by Harold A. Linstone and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The population and technology explosions are shrinking the world to a system in which everything is interactive, forcing us to transcend traditional modes of thinking. In this book, the authors set forth the concept of multiple perspectives: technical, organizational, and personal. They begin the book with a multiple-perspective examination of the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska, a case that foreshadows the intensifying problem of managing hazardous technology in the coming decades. They then apply this approach, on a much larger scale, to the United States in the evolving global setting. Included in the discussion are issues such as the balance between short-term and long-term concerns and between individual and societal responsibilities. The interdependence and inseparability of the three perspectives is reflected in the focus on technological superiority, organizational rethinking, and imaginative personal leadership. This book will help managers and students in business, engineering, science, and policymaking break away from exclusive concern with the technical perspective and thus help prepare them for the challenges of a new era.

Download or read book Rise to the Challenge written by Marlene M. Johnson and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2024-09-24 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspiring life story of Minnesota’s first woman lieutenant governor: breaking political ground, navigating patriarchal tradition, and persevering through great personal loss Marking a milestone for women in state government, Marlene M. Johnson became Minnesota’s first woman lieutenant governor under Rudy Perpich’s gubernatorial administration in January 1983. That same year, she met her husband, Peter, and their deeply loving relationship profoundly sustained her for twenty-seven years. Rise to the Challenge weaves these personal and professional stories together in a courageous portrait of dedication and leadership. Growing up in rural Minnesota, Johnson began organizing and advocating for change early, beginning with a campaign to introduce foreign languages into her high school curriculum. Pursuing a deeply felt commitment to improving the lives of others, she continued to sharpen her leadership skills throughout her life, participating in activist work in college, cofounding organizations to support women entrepreneurs and politicians, and eventually running an international education nonprofit. A stalwart supporter, her husband gave Marlene strength and encouragement to face the challenges of the political landscape and its gender biases. Then, in 2010, he suffered a traumatic brain injury that would change both of their lives. Learning how to be a medical advocate and, eventually, facing the sorrow of Peter’s death, Marlene relied on the hard-fought resilience and belief in herself that Peter had helped her to develop. A story of learning and leadership in politics, business, and public service, Rise to the Challenge is a moving portrayal of spirit, perseverance, and grace in the face of daunting personal challenges, supported by unwavering faith in the public good.
