Shift: Using Business Simulations and Serious Games: A Straightforward Guide for Corporate Training and Developmentby William Hall

Why should organizations learn more about business simulations and serious games?

The answer is simple: they are engaging, applicable, contemporary, exciting, and best of all, they change behavior faster and more naturally. Simulations are not as complex to implement as they were even a few years ago. Creating a custom solution is not only far more effective but also now within reach of most companies. Shift: Using Business Simulations and Serious Games walks you through the process of deciding whether or not to use a business simulation or serious game, how to build them or find an experienced provider, how to implement them, and how to create a sustainable program.

Author William Hall, an award-winning Apple executive, writes with both humor and wisdom to distill years of experience in technology, gaming, and education into an easy-to-read guide for busy executives and managers. Simulations are a fun yet serious, challenging, and practical way to develop employees. Outcomes can include strategic alignment, strategic change, business acumen, leadership development, succession planning, and collaboration. You can change up a person’s work environment and enable them to practice professional skills in real time with real people and actual scenarios.

Coyote Creekby Tabitha Freeman

Molly McGraw was enjoying her life in Savannah, Georgia as a nurse and longtime girlfriend to her college sweetheart–until that normality is unpleasantly interrupted by the death of a grandmother she barely knew. Now, Molly must pack up everything and head out west to pick up where her grandmother left off–in cleaning up the mess that is her older sister, Rainie.

Chayton Lacroix was tolerating his life in Coyote Creek, Idaho as a hospital janitor and lifetime caretaker to his chronically sick mother–until everything is interrupted by the arrival of a new neighbor across the street. Southern, sassy, and full of questions that no one ever dare ask, Molly McGraw turns Chayton’s world–and heart–upside down.

Together, Chayton and Molly will both learn the value of family, the darkness of prejudice, and that no matter what their circumstances were before, they are meant to make the ultimate stand in this quiet little town that has been asleep for far too long.

Every Soulby LK Collins

#1 Bestseller in Erotic Suspense

***This book will leave you breathlessly saying, “What the fuck.” You’ve been warned…enjoy.***

When you lose the one person who grounds your existence, your whole world changes.

In life, it is said that everything happens for a reason. If that’s true, how can you explain death? Especially when it happens to someone so young, so beautiful, and so innocent? My name is Bain Adams, and I struggle with these thoughts every day. I’ve been through hell and back, somehow surviving the unimaginable. My sister took her life six months ago, and now, what’s left is a shell of the man I once was, a shadow of the person I used to be. Do I miss that life? Absolutely. But I miss her more, every day. I pray time will ease the pain and help my suffering while I search for the answers…but so far, nothing.

Happiness is something I knew so long ago, and now it’s nothing but a faint, distant recollection of the life I once had. My name is Arion LaSalle, and seven months ago my life was shredded to pieces when my fiancé disappeared while deployed. He never…

Flukeby Christopher Moore

Just why do humpback whales sing? That’s the question that has marine behavioral biologist Nate Quinn and his crew poking, charting, recording, and photographing very big, wet, gray marine mammals. Until the extraordinary day when a whale lifts its tail into the air to display a cryptic message spelled out in foot-high letters: Bite me.

Trouble is, Nate’s beginning to wonder if he hasn’t spent just a little too much time in the sun. ‘Cause no one else on his team saw a thing — not his longtime partner, Clay Demodocus; not their saucy young research assistant; not even the spliff-puffing white-boy Rastaman Kona (né Preston Applebaum). But later, when a roll of film returns from the lab missing the crucial tail shot — and his research facility is trashed — Nate realizes something very fishy indeed is going on.

By turns witty, irreverent, fascinating, puzzling, and surprising, Fluke is Christopher Moore at his outrageous best.

Welcome to the Funny Farm: The All-True Misadventures of a Woman on the Edgeby Karen Scalf Linamen

What can a woman do for an encore after she backs over her husband’s new laptop with her car?

How long does it take to defrost a turkey with a hair dryer?

What do you say to a house guest who, before going to the bathroom, has to fish two wooden blocks and a set of car keys from your commode?

There is no end to the sources of frustration, challenge, disaster–and humor!–in a woman’s life, and there is no one more skilled at finding the merriment and wisdom in the everyday foibles we all share than Karen Linamen.
Welcome to the Funny Farm guides you on a side-splitting, hopeful, and entertaining tour of the challenges women face–and in true, tongue-in-cheek Linamen style, no topic is off limits! These fifty readings, originally published on the Women of Faith web site (www.women-of-faith.com), cover everything from baby showers to cell phones, holiday frenzy to Hamburger Helper, dumb blonde jokes to well-woman exams.
Karen’s collection of observations will inspire and entertain you (though not necessarily in that order) and ultimately shed light on principles of spiritual wellness and Christian living that will enrich your life as much as her rib-tickling stories will delight your heart.

Death By A Dark Horse: Thea Campbell Mystery Book 1 (Thea Campbell Mystery Series)by Susan Schreyer

Thea Campbell goes out for revenge when the one person who is simultaneously the most likely and least likely candidate for thief steals her horse.

She dutifully reports to the detective in charge. But Thea is wrong. As close to dead…

RUNAWAY TWINS

Book 1 in the Runaway Twins series

LITERARY CLASSICS GOLD AWARD WINNER

“Oh, my gosh, I love these kids! When they were hiding in the Bitterroot Mountains, I felt like I was right there with them.”

“Cult leader wants twins for his child brides, his double portion from God…polygamy raises its ugly head.”

Beautiful preteen twins Rachel and Janie Lemon are desperate to avoid the fate of their older sister Mary, who at thirteen was forced to marry the polygamous Prophet of Sheba Hill.

Their determination leads to an aborted escape attempt, and the cult leader sends the girls to a retraining center deep in Montana’s Bitterroot Mountains. Justin Patrick, an openly rebellious twelve-year-old boy who has been dragged into the cult by his aunt, is sent along with them.

Justin and the twins plan an escape in mid-winter through the Bitterroots. Justin’s father and uncle (who were both killed in an avalanche) trained him as a survivalist, and he assures the girls that the Bitterroots are not as dangerous as the Alaskan wilderness where he grew up.

Their adventures in the mountains include searches for food, shelter, water, and warmth–all…

Handling Sinby Michael Malone

On the Ides of March, our hero, Raleigh Whittier Hayes (forgetful husband, baffled father, prosperous insurance agent, and leading citizen of Thermopylae, North Carolina), learns that his father has discharged himself from the hospital, taken all his money out of the bank and, with a young black female mental patient, vanished in a yellow Cadillac convertible. Left behind is a mysterious list of seven outrageous tasks that Raleigh must perform in order to rescue his father and his inheritance.

And so Raleigh and fat Mingo Sheffield (his irrepressibly loyal friend) set off on an uproarious contemporary treasure hunt through a landscape of unforgettable characters, falling into adventures worthy of Tom Jones and Huck Finn. A moving parable of human love and redemption, Handling Sin is Michael Malone’s comic masterpiece.

Anthem’s Fallby S.L. Dunn

Kristen Jordan never aspired to be anything.
Unfortunately for her, she is a genius.
And very soon the fates of two worlds will rest on her shoulders.

For the tide of a new scientific revolution is coming . . . and no revolution is without its casualties.

Above a horrified New York City, genetics and ethics will collide as the fallen emperor and a banished exile of the same herculean race ignite into battle over the city’s rooftops. In the streets below, Kristen Jordan will discover a technology that can defeat them both, yet might be more terrible than either.

Anthem, in all of its infinite might, may not be the only world to fall against the mysterious power of the Vatruvian cell.

Death by Food Pyramid: How Shoddy Science, Sketchy Politics and Shady Special Interests Have Ruined Our Healthby Denise Minger

Shoddy science, sketchy politics, and shady special interests have shaped American dietary recommendations–and destroyed our nation’s health–over recent decades. The phrase “death by food pyramid” isn’t shock-value sensationalism, but the tragic consequence of following federal advice and corporate manipulation in pursuit of health. In Death by Food Pyramid, Denise Minger exposes the forces that overrode common sense and solid science to launch a pyramid phenomenon that bled far beyond US borders to taint the eating habits of the entire developed world. Minger explores how generations of flawed pyramids and plates endure as part of the national consciousness, and how the “one-size-fits-all” diet mentality these icons convey pushes us deeper into the throes of obesity and disease. Regardless of whether you’re an omnivore or vegan, research junkie or science-phobe, health novice or seasoned dieter, Death by Food Pyramid will reframe your understanding of nutritional science–and inspire you to take your health, and your future, into your own hands.

Crushed: An Amazing True Story of Determination and Survivalby Kathryn Mann

The accident left sixty-six year old Bob Peterson fighting for his life on an isolated farm lane. With broken ribs, a punctured lung, and compression fractures in his chest, spine, and pelvis, Bob pushed his arms forward, dug his fingers into the freezing mud and dragged his crushed body forward.

The Fried Twinkie Manifesto: and other tales of disaster and damnationby Ryan Moehring

Whether solving biblical foreskin mysteries, having his head split open by a crowbar-wielding man named Thor or getting busted for pickpocketing in a remote Mexican desert, Ryan Moehring reveals in his debut collection of stories and essays, The Fried Twinkie Manifesto, that his irreverent wit and capacity for uncovering nuggets of insight from the rubble of the mundane make him one of humor’s most promising newcomers.

While maintaining a voice unmistakably his own, Moehring evokes the wild imagination of Tom Robbins, the soul of Sedaris, and the wisdom of Vonnegut. Though readers will more often than not find themselves laughing out loud, Moehring’s eye for the profound and his unyielding honesty ensure that they are just as likely to cry–or cringe.

Detox, big time! For boundless health.: Stop fatigue, pain, weight problems…by Caroline Benson

You can choose to be healthier.

Why this detox diet for body and mind can protect you from the assaults of modern living?

A cleansing diet that detoxes at the cellular level helps you:

- Boost your immune system on a long-term basis.

- Lose weight.

- Reduce pain and inflammation significantly.

The ancients knew that it was good to regularly purify our body by dieting or fasting. The religions have even made this one of their cornerstones. But what is left of it today?

Nowadays however, more than any other time, our bodies are subject to constant aggressions found in the air, water, and food, as well as on a psychological level (repeated stress). Our bodies endlessly accumulate toxins, without being able to eliminate them….or not sufficiently.

And if this generalized “clogging” would be the well-known breeding-ground of our civilization’s disease? This is a plausible hypothesis that has been taken over by more and more doctors and researchers from all the countries; they have been alarmed by the exponential expansion of this scourge.

The Spring diet is a well-known diet and certainly the most efficient detox diet. This will…
