Download or read book Things to Do Around Piccadilly written by Samuel Charters and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-01-16 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 70s, noted American author and record producer Samuel Charters often visited London, a city he had come to know and love. Inspired by walking its streets between recording sessions, he began writing down poems in a small notebook. "As the months went by the poems grew. I never could predict just what it was that I had to get down on the notebook's pages. I only knew that it was something that had an overwhelming sense for me of what London was. What I hoped with the poems was to catch some of London's tumult, some of its silences, something of the sense of history that gave its streets so much of their character..." Many years later he asked an old friend, Londoner Martin Colyer, to collaborate on a compilation of the poems, and to give them a visual counterpoint with his photographs of the city now. The result is a book that will appeal to anyone who never tires of London and who appreciates its "proud vulgarity, its often insistent tastelessness, its seediness, and its dismissal of any concern that it should be anything but what it is."

Book excerpt: There's no such thing as just a kiss...Book 3 in the bestselling series The Hellion Club has arrived for your reading pleasure! Read for FREE with Kindle Unlimited!Chaos! That is what greets Miss Calliope St. James when she enters the household of her prospective employer, Lord Winn Hamilton, the Earl of Montgomery. The newly appointed guardian for his nieces and nephew, he's clearly a man who has no idea what to do with children... and they are children who clearly know when the adults in charge haven't a clue what they're doing. But he is handsome. Terribly, temptingly handsome even when he's maddening. Winn thought it was bad enough when his home was overrun with children hell-bent on driving him insane. Then their new governess arrived... and she looks like no governess he's ever seen. Distractingly beautiful, maddeningly forthright, frustratingly capable-he's equal parts attracted to her and infuriated by her. And then he sees the portrait... the portrait that changes everything. Because Calliope St. James isn't just the abandoned and unwanted child of unknown parents as she's always been led to believe. If Calliope is who he thinks she is, she's very, very wealthy and there are powerful people in the highest reaches of society who want her very, very dead. To keep her safe, he'll have to keep her close, and that presents them both with an entirely different sort of danger.The Hellion ClubA Rogue to RememberBarefoot in Hyde ParkWhat Happens in PiccadillySleepless in SouthamptonWhen an Earl Loves a GovernessThe Duke's Magnificent ObsessionThe Governess Diaries

Download or read book Lunch at the Piccadilly written by Clyde Edgerton and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2003-10-01 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his eighth deliciously funny novel, Clyde Edgerton introduces us to the irrepressible Lil Olive, who's recently arrived at the Rosehaven Convalescence Center to recuperate from a bad fall. Lil longs to be back in her own apartment, and since her driver's license doesn't expire until her ninety-seventh birthday, she also longs to get back behind the wheel of her sporty '89 Olds. To pass the time until independence, Lil strikes up some new friendships. Mrs. Maudie Lowe and Mrs. Beatrice Satterwhite, who are laying bets on whether Clara Cochran's glass eye comes out at night. And L. Ray Flowers, the freelance evangelical preacher with fancy white hair who sings his sermons, strums a mean guitar, and aspires to an even higher calling. Keeping a watchful eye on them all is Carl, Lil's middle-aged bachelor nephew with a heart of gold and the patience of a saint. But soon Rosehaven is turned upside down and the outcome is anyone's guess. Lil and the girls steal a car and hit the highway. L. Ray's vision of a national movement to unite churches and nursing homes (Nurches of America) is embraced by the residents. And then there's Darla Avery's dirty little secret, which could spell the end for the visionary preacher. Edgerton looks at the challenges of aging with sympathy, sensitivity, and his trademark sense of humor. Like the bestseller Walking Across Egypt, this is vintage Edgerton: wise, wistful, and laugh-out-loud funny.

Book excerpt: The Wall Street Journal bestseller—a Financial Times Business Book of the Month and named by The Washington Post as “One of the 11 Leadership Books to Read in 2018”—is “a refreshingly data-based, clearheaded guide” (Publishers Weekly) to individual performance, based on a groundbreaking study. Why do some people perform better at work than others? This deceptively simple question continues to confound professionals in all sectors of the workforce. Now, after a unique, five-year study of more than 5,000 managers and employees, Morten Hansen reveals the answers in his “Seven Work Smarter Practices” that can be applied by anyone looking to maximize their time and performance. Each of Hansen’s seven practices is highlighted by inspiring stories from individuals in his comprehensive study. You’ll meet a high school principal who engineered a dramatic turnaround of his failing high school; a rural Indian farmer determined to establish a better way of life for women in his village; and a sushi chef, whose simple preparation has led to his unassuming restaurant being awarded the maximum of three Michelin stars. Hansen also explains how the way Alfred Hitchcock filmed Psycho and the 1911 race to become the first explorer to reach the South Pole both illustrate the use of his seven practices. Each chapter “is intended to inspire people to be better workers…and improve their own work performance” (Booklist) with questions and key insights to allow you to assess your own performance and figure out your work strengths, as well as your weaknesses. Once you understand your individual style, there are mini-quizzes, questionnaires, and clear tips to assist you focus on a strategy to become a more productive worker. Extensive, accessible, and friendly, Great at Work will help us “reengineer our work lives, reduce burnout, and improve performance and job satisfaction” (Psychology Today).
