“Leading is about balancing the interests of customers, suppliers, employees and owners. Whilst this may be obvious, what is less so is how the legal construct of a business can help or hinder in that subtle balancing act. Lucatelli does a fine job of opening the eyes of the uninitiated to the critical challenges of leadership for value. A fine, important book.”Emmanuel Gobillot, author of “The Connected Leader,” “LeaderShift” and “Follow the Leader”“Putting good corporate governance into practice is important to the economic success of any company. According to the author, the main reason things go wrong at many stock corporations is that they have the wrong legal form. An interesting and unsettling thesis.”Professor Roger M. Kunz, University of Basel“We’ve all seen the annual rankings of the best CEOs or most successful companies. But they’re rarely based on the ability to create sustained shareholder value. This book shows which stock market favorites are actually interesting for long-term equity investors and which ones aren’t. Be prepared for some surprises!”Daniel Manser, Derivative Partners Media“This book should be on the required reading list for top managers running talent-based firms—such as movie studios or sports companies—who will find interesting and surprising insights and ideas regarding where to direct their talent recruitment and management efforts.”Professor Jean-Paul Thommen, European BusinessSchool and University of Zurich

"Peterson . . . weaves a lush novel full of cryptic scenes divided into 'before' chapters showing Piper's life in the cult and 'after,' when she is set free, which readers fit together for a thrilling ending.

An intriguing look at a young woman adjusting to life outside a cult."&mdash;Kirkus Reviews&#160;  "Readers follow Piper through the difficult maze of her own mind in trying to sort out what's real from what she is imagining. Her struggle with her mental health rings true. . . . a sound addition to any collection where reality and suspense are in demand."&mdash;School Library Journal  "Entirely gripping and absorbing, with an absolutely convincing voice. I had to keep reading until the very last page."&mdash;Lucy Christopher, Printz Honor-winning author of Stolen and Storm-Wake  "Peterson uses her own experience as a teenager in a cult to bring Piper's story to life through alternating before-and-after perspectives. These come together to create a rich, layered, and unflinching narrative of love, loss, and the struggle to become whole once again."&mdash;Booklist "Full of twists, turns, and emotional gut punches that will leave readers racing to the end to find out how all the puzzle pieces fit together. If you like psychological thrillers, Peterson's book needs to be on your list."&mdash;Eileen Cook, author of You Owe Me a Murder and With Malice

¡Qué presente impresentable! / What an Unpresentable Present!

&ldquo;Memories can be complicated. Thirteen-year-old Lulu has highly superior autobiographical memory (HSAM), allowing her to recall everything she has ever experienced; Gram, who is Lulu&#39;s kindred spirit, finds herself increasingly forgetful; and Mom and Dad (who have delegated most of their parental responsibilities to Gram) try to repress their memories of Lulu&#39;s now-deceased younger sister. Lulu hopes Gram&#39;s memory loss is the result of trauma; if she can uncover its source, she&#39;s sure Gram can be cured. In Lulu&#39;s search for secrets, she uncovers Gram&#39;s diary, her Russian passport, and a mysterious acquaintance. Camiccia&#39;s debut novel begins each chapter with a short discussion of a brain component and its function, which she links to the current story. Characters (especially family and two of Lulu&#39;s friends) are well developed, and the plot unfolds smoothly as Lulu gradually exposes Gram&#39;s hidden past, including a trauma that unfortunately does not alter Gram&#39;s prognosis. Throughout, Camiccia stresses that the best way to hold onto loved ones is by telling their stories.&rdquo;&nbsp;&mdash;Booklist "Lulu Rose, twelve, has Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM), an extremely rare condition that enables her to recall every single detail of her life; fearing people&rsquo;s reactions, she hides her memory from everyone except Gram, her grandmother and confidant, who moved in with Lulu&rsquo;s family years ago. Gram&rsquo;s own memory is now fading as signs of Alzheimer&rsquo;s disease steadily worsen, but Lulu is convinced that it&rsquo;s not Alzheimer&rsquo;s but amnesia linked to a traumatic event in her grandmother&rsquo;s mysterious past, so she gathers stories from and information about Gram in hopes that reviving those memories will cure her. This is a heartfelt tale of an exceptional girl who, for all her gifts, cannot fix what is happening to her grandmother and realizes she may not even know the woman she trusts the most. The story&rsquo;s gentle tone makes serious subjects, ranging from Gram&rsquo;s dementia to Lulu&rsquo;s mother&rsquo;s depression to Gram&rsquo;s father&rsquo;s abuse, accessible but restrained, and readers will also be intrigued by the detective-story aspect as Lulu and her friends puzzle out Gram&rsquo;s true past. The novel provides a diagram of the human brain, and each chapter begins with detailed explanation of one of its many components, using that anatomical element as a springboard for Lulu&rsquo;s contemplations. The author does an awesome job of introducing neuroscience in this intricate tale of a family that works much like the cerebral cortex: when one part struggles to deal, another steps in."&nbsp;&mdash;BCCB
