Title: History of the Life of the Late Mr. Jonathan Wild the Great

Author: Henry Fielding

Narrator: Denny Sayers

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs 17 mins

Language: English

Release date: 2016-01-01

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, General

Publisher's Summary:

This novel is sometimes thought of as [Fielding's] first because he almost certainly began composing it before he wrote Shamela and Joseph Andrews. It is a satire of Walpole that draws a parallel between Walpole and Jonathan Wild, the infamous gang leader and highwayman. He implicitly compares the Whig party in Parliament with a gang of thieves being run by Walpole, whose constant desire to be a Great Man (a common epithet for Walpole) should culminate only in the antithesis of greatness: being hanged.

Title: Scaling up Excellence

Author: Robert I. Sutton, Hayagreeva Rao

Narrator: Robert Shapiro

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs 47 mins

Language: English

Release date: 2015-12-24

Publisher: Cornerstone Digital

Genres: Business & Economics, Management & Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

Scaling up excellence is the key to creating a great organisation. It's how a small enterprise expands without losing focus. It's how a brilliant new idea or plan developed by the few goes on to be adopted by the many. And, in hard times and tough situations, it's how pockets of smart new thinking overcome cultures of indifference or negativity. An organisation that doesn't know how to scale up what is best within it won't achieve long-term success.

Bestselling author Robert Sutton and his Stanford colleague Huggy Rao have devoted nearly a decade to uncovering what it takes to create and spread outstanding performance, and in Scaling Up Excellence they share the fruits of their research. Drawing on case studies that range from Silicon Valley enterprises to non-profit organisations, they provide crucial insights into corporate cultures, both good and bad, and offer a road map for establishing and stimulating excellence. In the process, they show how to use 'premortems' when making big decisions about change. They reveal why seven is so often the magic number when it comes to team size. They examine successful and unsuccessful quests for improvement - in hospitals, schools and elsewhere. And they discuss when a single corporate mindset is best ('Catholicism') and when local variation is preferable ('Buddhism').

Scaling Up Excellence is the first management book devoted to what is - or should be - a core priority for every organisation. As such it is destined to become the standard bearer.

Publisher's Summary:

Food journalist, wine connoisseur, and onetime bestselling writer Bruno Tannenbaum has long believed these are the elements of a full life. The rest will take care of itself. But lately, nothing's going right for Bruno. His career is floundering, he's separated from his wife and their two daughters and he's drinking his way through a dwindling bank account, certain all that's left of life is a downward slope into obscurity.

Then Bruno stumbles on a clue leading to a lost wine vintage, one of the many bottles stolen and smuggled out of France during WWII, now worth a small fortune and sought after by wine collectors throughout the world. Bruno realizes that finding this bottle could be the key to restoring his career-maybe even writing his comeback book. But his discovery is not a secret for long; as word of his finding spreads, nefarious characters interested in the bottle start appearing at every turn. Bruno scrapes together his final resources, calls in favors he may ultimately regret, and sets off on a grand adventure.

From the rolling hills of Burgundy to a raucous wedding in Moldova, from a Beaune bacchanal to the graying walls of a Russian prison, Vintage is a hilarious food-filled debut about redemption, sacrifices, and making one last effort to follow your dreams.

Title: Narcissist You Know

Author: Joseph Burgo, PhD

Narrator: Christopher Lane

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs 56 mins

Language: English

Release date: 2015-09-22

Publisher: Brilliance Audio

Genres: Non-Fiction, Psychology

Publisher's Summary:

In our selfie-obsessed, social-media-saturated society, everyone's a little narcissistic. But some people (a startling one in twenty Americans, according to some studies) are considered Extreme Narcissists, individuals whose self-regard has actually become a threat to themselves and to those around them. And Extreme Narcissists aren't just annoying-they can be downright dangerous, unless you have the knowledge and tools to defend yourself.

Joseph Burgo, PhD, explains that narcissism actually exists on a spectrum, much like autism or other neurological disorders. While only a fraction of Extreme Narcissists are clinically diagnosed with the most serious label-Narcissistic Personality Disorder-all can still disrupt our lives and make our homes and workplaces all but unbearable. The good news: once you understand the personality characteristics of the different types of Extreme Narcissists, you will be better able to coexist with them. Learn about:

The Bullying Narcissist: I'm a winner, and you're a loser.

The Seductive Narcissist: I want you to want meuntil I'm tired of you.

The Self-Righteous Narcissist: I'm right, and you're wrong.

The Narcissistic Parent: You will be everything I always wanted to be.

And many more.

Weaving together case studies and celebrity profiles of some of the most outrageous narcissistic behavior, Dr. Burgo illustrates the common signs by which to recognize the narcissist you know, and he offers invaluable advice on deflecting and defusing narcissistic behavior. Extreme Narcissists, he says, should be empathized with, not vilified-but they should never, ever be underestimated or ignored.
