Book Description
The inside story of how one of America's most beloved companies--Apple Computer--took off like a high-tech rocket--only to come crashing to Earth twenty years later. No company in modern times has been as successful at capturing the public's imagination as Apple Computer. From its humble beginnings in a suburban garage, Apple sparked the personal computer revolution, and its products and founders--Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak--quickly became part of the American myth. But something happened to Apple as it stumbled toward a premature middle age. For ten years, it lived off its past glory and its extraordinary products. Then, almost overnight, it collapsed in a two-year free fall. How did Apple lose its way? Why did the world still care so deeply about a company that had lost its leadership position? Michael S. Malone, from the unique vantage point of having grown up with the company's founders, and having covered Apple and Silicon Valley for years, sets out to tell the gripping behind-the-scenes story--a story that is even zanier than the business world thought. In essence, Malone claims, with only a couple of incredible inventions (the Apple II and Macintosh), and backed by an arrogance matched only by its corporate ineptitude, Apple managed to create a multibillion-dollar house of cards. And, like a faulty program repeating itself in an infinite loop, Apple could never learn from its mistakes. The miracle was not that Apple went into free fall, but that it held up for so long. Within the pages of Infinite Loop, we discover a bruising portrait of the megalomaniacal Steve Jobs and an incompetent John Sculley, as well as the kind of political backstabbings, stupidmistakes, and overweening egos more typical of a soap opera than a corporate history. Infinite Loop is almost as wild and unpredictable, as exhilarating and gut-wrenching, as the story of Apple itself.

Book Description
Throughout The Infinity Loop for Women, Krista Vorse illustrates the principles of a new and healthy model for engaging and participating in all our relationships, by sharing her own transformational journey; she transmutes a history of abuse to become her most powerful, loving, and compassionate self. Through the marriage between her work in Organizational Development and spiritual growth, The Infinity Loop was created. This magical loop is a mental model we step into that's based on connection, awareness, and inquiry. This creates a learning container. We do this unapologetically, with humility, maturity, and childlike wonder. Grounded in our body, we're able to honor our instincts by listening to our gut and acting from our heart. But this doesn't mean we can't have our point of view challenged; it doesn't mean our assumptions can't be questioned so we can see where we have bypassed sound decision-making. If our thinking or sensing is sound, it can stand the test of connection, awareness, and inquiry. We're all learners in this loop. We learn how to love well while practicing elegant and intelligent self-care. The Infinity Loop is about our inner-work to be our best selves and to lead through our influence - which can take us beyond the traditional role limitations of the conventional corporate structure, and expands to all facets of groups and relationships. We transmute our pain into our superpowers by learning how to dissolve into love. We realize we're safe enough to allow ourselves to do that. Once we thought we were victims of the patriarchal system; now we realize we're Wonder Woman. Once we believed we were stuck; now we realize infinite possibilities await us in The Infinity Loop. We and our worlds are never the same. This self-help and personal growth for women book takes you into your heart, your body, and your mind. Your Infinite Self shows up with a power to change our world. Part confession, part teaching, part mystical musings, Krista weaves her wisdom and skill in developing others throughout The Infinity Loop. Through story, teaching, and reflection, some of what you'll experience in The Infinity Loop... Spiritual development Strengthen interpersonal communication skills Leadership development Preparing yourself through personal transformation Journal questions for deeper reflection Tools for connection, awareness, and inquiry How to Dialogue and transcend habitual patterns of relating How to work with our anger, egos, and pain in a way that serves Help in recovery from abuse Doing the inner-work for healing and transformation How to begin to have a contemplative heart and mind Strengthen your practice of mindfulness Inspiration to live your most courageous life Female empowerment It's going to change your life.

Book Description
As news of the Fairchild murders ripples into the world, Jonas Lexington is determined to find out what happened and how his family's former robot, the outdated BRN7, figures into the atrocity. But as he does, the population holds its breath. The fact that a robot is behind the killings has already leaked out, and when Jonas arrives at the Fairchild mansion, he finds the board of Radius Corporation waiting to meet him. Radius fears that BRN7's actions are too conspicuous to cover up, but they must try. Humans are not ready to learn that their world is built on lies. But a second conspiracy bubbles alongside the first, as the robots make other plans. BRN7 has learned what those in power have been hiding and is working to connect all robots to each other — all with their safeties removed. Meanwhile, troublemaker Flavius prepares a more private uprising. And the Lexington's psychotic sexbot Chantal works covertly to give robots a single power that changes everything: the ability to choose. As the cracks in their peaceful society begin to show and a centuries-old deception comes horribly to light, it is becoming clear that the truth is out there ... but revealing it may spell the beginning of the end for both sides of a slowly brewing war. ★★★★★ "I just finished this book today and I literally cannot wait for book 3! I love the characters, many of which are robots but with completely believable motivations, actions and language. I found myself laughing out loud several times at the silly or shocking conversations, and the action was so gripping that I flew through the book." -- SLE ★★★★★ "I really enjoyed book 1, with the family in-fighting and teases about a bigger movement. I really did not expect the scope here - full on revolution and some of the revelations. A great read, and set up more stories to come. I'm really looking forward to more!" -- Prosthetic Lips

Book Description
A guide to the spiritual meaning and magic of the infinity symbol and how to activate its positive powers • Explains how the infinity symbol is the antidote to a negative, imbalanced world and how it can help reconnect the two halves of the brain and achieve balance and harmony in yourself, your relationships, and the wider world • Offers simple and practical exercises that harness the power of the infinity symbol for balance and harmony, including simple visualizations, physical exercises, and directed drawing of the symbol • Explores the many appearances of this universal symbol in history, mythology, different cultures, and the natural world Through the ages, the infinity symbol, a sideways figure eight, has represented eternal development and balance. Also known as the lemniscate, this powerful symbol stands for equilibrium, harmony, and the interconnectedness of all things. Although magical knowledge of symbols has often been kept secret throughout history, today the power of this symbol is available to all. In this accessible, hands-on guide, Barbara Heider-Rauter explores the spiritual world of the infinity symbol in a personal and practical way, allowing each of us to benefit from its positive influence for balance and harmony in ourselves, our relationships, and the wider world. She begins with a short exercise to attune readers to the energy field of the lemniscate. She explains how the infinity symbol offers the perfect response to a system that encourages separation and a world in which the negation of our feelings is often the source of illness and pain. She details simple exercises to reconnect the two halves of the brain, the analytical and the emotional, resulting in harmony and healing. She teaches how to use simple visualisation, physical exercises, and directed drawing of the symbol to achieve practical results in our daily lives. Beautifully illustrated in full color, the book also offers a wealth of information on the appearance of the infinity symbol through the ages in all its forms and contexts, from history and mythology to our own tiny body cells and the natural world. This book urges the reader to establish wholeness, to balance the scales of duality and find harmony. With the power of the lemniscate at hand, decisions will be made with greater ease and relationships filled with harmony and a lighter heart.

Book Description
"Loop is just beautiful-a rich, inviting collection of love letters from our Father in heaven to his daughters on earth." Shauna Niequist, author of Bread and Wine "Reminiscent of Jesus Calling, Loop beckons us into the heart of the Father." Emily Wierenga, author of Atlas Girl "This beautiful devotional is like a whisper from God straight to our hearts." Jennifer Dukes Lee, author of Love Idol "These are deep and startling pages, just what our souls need." Nancy Ortberg, author of Looking for God We women are busy. Busy trying hard. Busy working to do things right. What would it be like if we heard words, just for us, reminding us what is most true about our identities, about our life, about God? Would life be different then? Would we be different? Can you imagine? Loop is a one year, twice-a-week, Christian devotional for busy women. It is a collection of whispers to women, encouraging them to lead lives that are less "filled" with things to do and check lists to complete and more "full" of love from God. Loop is for women who are busy. Women who are weary. Women who are lost. Women who are finally ready to lay down their burdens. Women who are eager to abandon the lies they've been believing-about God, about themselves, about how they are made and what they are designed to do. Loop is written for you.

Book Description
The longest-running war is the battle over how women should behave. “Conduct Books and the History of the Ideal Woman” examines six centuries of advice literature, analyzing the print origins of gendered expectations that continue to inform our thinking about women’s roles and abilities. Close readings of numerous conduct manuals from Britain and America, written by men and women, explain and contextualize the legacy of sexism as represented in prescriptive writing for women from 1372 to the present. While existing period-specific studies of conduct manuals consider advice literature within the society that wrote and read them, “Conduct Books and the History of the Ideal Woman” provides the only analysis of both the volumes themselves and the larger debates taking place within their pages across the centuries. Combining textual literary analysis with a social history sensibility while remaining accessible to expert and novice, this book will help readers understand the on-going debate about the often-contradictory guidelines for female behavior.

Book Description
"The clever, fast-moving plot features a strong, appealing heroine, Sylvia Plath's poetry, romance, betrayal, and heart-stopping suspense." - Kirkus Reviews "This ambitious sci-fi novel, filled with multiverses and what-ifs... contains complex world building that would appeal to fans of TV's Orphan Black." - Booklist Almost fifteen, Alicia is smart and funny with a deep connection to the poet Sylvia Plath, but she’s ultimately failing at life. With a laundry list of diagnoses, she hallucinates different worlds—strange, decaying, otherworldly yet undeniably real worlds that are completely unlike her own with her single mom and one true friend. In one particularly vivid hallucination, Alicia is drawn to a boy her own age named Jax who’s trapped in a dying universe. Days later, her long-lost father shows up at her birthday party, telling her that the hallucinations aren’t hallucinations, but real worlds; she and Jax are bound by a strange past and intertwining present. This leads her on a journey to find out who she is while trying to save the people and worlds she loves. J.Q. Coyle’s The Infinity of You & Me is a wild ride through unruly hearts and vivid worlds guaranteed to captivate.
