A booklover's new best friend Thin and light for one-handed reading The all—new Kindle is 11% thinner and 16% lighter than the previous generation Kindle, making it easy and comfortable to hold in one hand. No glare in bright sunlight Unlike reflective tablet and smartphone screens, the high contrast touchscreen display eliminates glare in any setting—even direct sunlight. No eye strain, reads like real paper Kindle uses actual ink particles and proprietary, hand-built fonts to create crisp text similar to what you see in a physical book. The blacks and whites on the screen are uniform, improving text and image quality. Battery lasts weeks, not hours Kindle doesn’t need power to maintain a page of text, allowing you to read for weeks on a single charge. Unlike tablets, no blue light to disturb your sleep Recent studies have shown that evening exposure to blue light from devices with backlit screens like tablets and smartphones can suppress the body’s production of melatonin, a naturally occurring hormone that helps the body fall asleep.

2005 RWA Golden Quill Best First Book Dear Mom, How’s Florida? Life in little ole Peeler, Oklahoma has been exciting. My new neighbor, big-time lawyer, Jason Brooks, has finished building his ultra-modern mansion next to my old dilapidated Victorian. The first time I met him, he knocked me off my feet—literally, right into the red dirt. I know what you’re thinking, but forget the matchmaking, Mom. A high society attorney wouldn’t go for a tree-hugging, vegetarian, health food store owner named Persephone Jones. (What were you thinking?) And by the way, the whole town is in an uproar over a proposed commercial hog farm. I’m leading the crusade against a huge corporation that wants to pollute our local environment. When I find out who’s behind this mess, I’m really going to let him have it. Gotta run, big town meeting tonight. Write soon. Love, Perse P.S. could you send me your recipe for chocolate chip cookies? I sort of promised that stuffed shirt brooks I would bake him some as a welcoming gift. Don’t get any ideas, I’m just being neighborly!

The Way We're Working Isn't Working is one of those rare books with the power to profoundly transform the way we work and live. Demand is exceeding our capacity. The ethic of "more, bigger, faster" exacts a series of silent but pernicious costs at work, undermining our energy, focus, creativity, and passion. Nearly 75 percent of employees around the world feel disengaged at work every day. The Way We're Working Isn't Working offers a groundbreaking approach to reenergizing our lives so we're both more satisfied and more productive-on the job and off. By integrating multidisciplinary findings from the science of high performance, Tony Schwartz, coauthor of the #1 bestselling The Power of Full Engagement, makes a persuasive case that we're neglecting the four core needs that energize great performance: sustainability (physical); security (emotional); self-expression (mental); and significance (spiritual). Rather than running like computers at high speeds for long periods, we're at our best when we pulse rhythmically between expending and regularly renewing energy across each of our four needs. Organizations undermine sustainable high performance by forever seeking to get more out of their people. Instead they should seek systematically to meet their four core needs so they're freed, fueled, and inspired to bring the best of themselves to work every day.
