Pressure: How the People Who Power Formula One Thrive at the Limits
As lead presenter for Sky Sports Formula One live coverage, Simon Lazenby is at the center of Grand Prix race-weekend action. In this book, he takes us off camera to give us exclusive, behind-the-scenes access to the people who power this multi-billion-pound sport. Drawing on over a decade's accumulated first-hand knowledge and connections across the paddock, Simon talks to key experts and professionals within the teams and the overall organization, who each reveal how they operate, how they compete, the skills they've learnt to navigate the challenges they face. Among the insiders who let us into their world are Max Verstappen's race engineer, whose voice we hear on the driver's cockpit radio communicating key strategic decisions, and the Aston Martin mechanic who oversees the team responsible for assembling the F1 car from 145,000 different components before each GP. There's the performance coach, who has to ensure that the drivers' necks can withstand the equivalent of 24kg of weight (helmet + head + G force) and Giorgio Piola whose sketches of F1 cars have been revered since the late 1960s. George Russell talks about life at Mercedes as their new lead driver. And at the top of pyramid are Zak Brown, CEO of current contenders McLaren, and James Vowles, team principal of Williams, who are breaking through. In all, we get insight for some 27 separate roles up and down the paddock. We see split-second, mid-race decision-making at the pit wall, lightning physical and technical efficiency in the pit lane, high-level politics and boardroom maneuvers, emergency medical interventions, genius design innovation and much more inside track action. This is a unique, first-hand insight into human performance under extreme pressure at the highest level of motorsport, bringing man and machine together to compete at speeds of 200 miles per hour. -

Worth Burning
A searing portrait of survival, Worth Burning traces a boy's journey from a turbulent Southern childhood--marked by parental abuse, death, and hidden queerness--through the AIDS crisis, a marriage of convenience, and finally, towards a rugged self-acceptance haunted by the past.
Worth Burning crackles with the heat of a burn barrel. With a novelist's attention to character and narrative trajectory, Mickie Kennedy glides through four decades beginning with the random hit-and-run that kills the young speaker's father. The mother's mourning curdles, grief becomes addiction, and addiction becomes abuse--emotional, physical, and sexual--as mother and son persist, locked in a monstrously confused togetherness further complicated by the speaker's hidden gayness, in a small Southern town.
Through searing confession and stark image-making, Kennedy excavates the contours of a life that persistently bends, against all odds, toward a ramshackle wholeness. Suffused with efficient, image-rich narrative poems, Kennedy's debut is at once sweeping and intimate, like a love note passed in secret. -
Ejecutar Ejecutando / Excute by Excuting: El Arte de Hacer Que Las Cosas Sucedan
Un director no será recordado por lo que planeó, sino por lo que logró. Mucho se ha escrito sobre planeación estratégica, pero no sobre la ejecución. Y es que para planear hay una metodología clara, pero la ejecución es fundamentalmente práctica y no existe una receta única; requiere de juicio y disciplina, de saber aplicar el saber prudencial. Ejecutaremos mal si estamos lejos de la acción del día a día, o si no sabemos dar seguimiento a los proyectos, lo cual lleva a no lograr los objetivos. Ejecutar ejecutando desmenuza estos y otros problemas y enseña un cúmulo de herramientas para solucionarlos, con base en la experiencia de los autores, pero también en textos clásicos sobre management y liderazgo. Aquí hallarás conceptos como el análisis FODA, los objetivos SMART, el gestionar caminando, los tres pilares para generar confianza, la seguridad psicológica, el efecto Pigmalión, los indicadores clave de desempeño, los tableros de control, el ejercicio pre mortem, el modelo Shingo, la metodología Agile y muchos más. No importa si tienes una gran empresa, un pequeño negocio o cualquier otro proyecto personal o profesional: este libro te ayudará a lograr una excelente ejecución de. A manager will not be remembered for what he planned, but for what he achieved. Much has been written about strategic planning, but not about execution. There is a clear methodology for planning, but execution is fundamentally practical and there is no single recipe; it requires judgment and discipline, knowing how to apply prudential knowledge. We will execute poorly if we are far from day-to-day action, or if we do not know how to follow up on projects, which leads to failure to achieve objectives. Executing by executing breaks down these and other problems and teaches a wealth of tools to solve them, based on the authors' experience, but also on classic texts on management and leadership. Here you will find concepts such as SWOT analysis, SMART objectives, managing by walking, the three pillars for building trust, psychological safety, the Pygmalion effect, key performance indicators, dashboards, the pre-mortem exercise, the Shingo model, the Agile methodology and many more. It doesn't matter if you have a large company, a small business or any other personal or professional project: this book will help you achieve an excellent execution of your strategy to make all your goals a reality. Remember that planning is good, but executing is... better. -
You're the Only One I've Told: The Stories Behind Abortion
"Moving, multifaceted, and deeply human...as eye-opening as it is compelling" --Cecile Richards, author of Make Trouble At a time where reproductive rights are at risk, these vital stories of diverse individuals serve as a reminder of the importance of empathy, finding community and motivating advocacy For a long time, when people asked Dr. Meera Shah, Chief medical officer of Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic, what she did, she would tell them she was a doctor and leave it at that. But when she started to be direct about her work as an abortion provider an interesting thing started to happen: one by one, people would confide that they'd had an abortion themselves. The refrain was often the same: You're the only one I've told. This book collects these stories as they've been told to Shah to humanize abortion and to combat myths that persist in the discourse that surrounds it. A wide range of ages, races, socioeconomic factors, and experiences shows that abortion always occurs in a unique context. Today, a healthcare issue that's so precious and foundational to reproductive, social, and economic freedom for millions of people is exploited by politicians who lack understanding or compassion about the context in which abortion occurs. Stories have the power to break down stigmas and help us to empathize with those whose experiences are unlike our own. A portion of proceeds will be donated to promote reproductive health access. -
