Title: All the Way to the Tigers

Author: Mary Morris

Narrator: Susan Bennett

Format: Unabridged

Length: 06:32:36

Language: English

Release date: 06-09-20

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: Biography & Memoir

Summary:

From the author of Nothing to Declare, a new travel narrative examining healing, redemption, and what it means to be a solo woman on the road.

In the tradition of Wild by Cheryl Strayed and Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, Mary Morris turns a personal catastrophe into a rich, multilayered memoir full of personal growth, family history, and thrilling travel.

In February 2008 a casual afternoon of ice skating derailed the trip of a lifetime. Mary Morris was on the verge of a well-earned sabbatical, but instead she endured three months in a wheelchair, two surgeries, and extensive rehabilitation. On Easter Sunday, when she was supposed to be in Morocco, Morris was instead lying on the sofa reading Death in Venice, casting her eyes over these words again and again: 'He would go on a journey. Not far. Not all the way to the tigers.' Disaster shifted to possibility and Morris made a decision. When she was well enough to walk again (and her doctor wasn't sure she ever would), she would go 'all the way to the tigers.'

So begins a three-year odyssey that takes Morris to India in search of the world's most elusive apex predator. Her first lesson: don't look for a tiger because you won't find it--you look for signs of a tiger. And all unseen tigers, hiding in the bush, are referred to as 'she.' Morris connects deeply with these magnificent and highly endangered animals, and her weeks on tiger safari also afford a new understanding of herself.

Written in over a hundred short chapters, All the Way to the Tigers offers an elegiac, wry, and wise look at a woman on the road and the glorious, elusive creature she seeks.

Title: Uncommon Service: How to Win by Putting Customers at the Core of Your Business

Summary:

Are you meeting your customers demand for great serviceand saving money at the same time?

If not, youre at a serious disadvantagemissing out on building a sustainable business thats profitable, scalable, and capable of delivering

excellence every day.

In Uncommon Service, Harvard Business School professor Frances Frei and coauthor Anne Morriss bring a provocative new argument to the

table: that companies must dare to be bad in order to be great, choosing strategic ways to underperform while fueling a winning service advantage.

According to the authors, uncommon service is created by specific design choices made in the very blueprint of a business model. And its

not about making a customer happy; instead, its about creating an organization where all employeesnot just star performersprovide excellent

service as a matter of routine. Outstanding service organizations create offerings, funding strategies, systems, and cultures that set their people up

to excel casually.

Introducing a decidedly fresh view of service, the authors present an organizational design model built on tough choices you must make about

four dimensions of your business:

Your service offering: How do customers define excellence in your offering?

Your service funding mechanism: How will you get paid for delivering excellence?

Your employee management system: How will you prepare your employees to deliver excellence every day?

Your customer management system: How will you get your customers to behave in ways that improve their service experiencewithout

disrupting anyone elses?

Create an organizational culture that reinforces smart decisions around these four dimensions and youll achieve a service advantage that rivals

cant hope to copy.

Frei and Morriss illustrate the power of this approach with examples of winning companies from a wide array of industriesincluding financial

services, commercial aviation, health care, and retail. Practical and engaging, Uncommon Service makes a powerful case for a new and systematic

approach to customer service as a pathway to unprecedented productivity and profitability

Title: Code Name Madeleine: A Sufi Spy in Nazi-Occupied Paris

Language: English

Release date: 06-09-20

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: History, Military

Summary:

The captivating story of the valiant Noor Inayat Khan, daughter of an Indian Sufi mystic and unlikely World War II heroine.

Raised in a lush suburb of 1920s Paris, Noor Inayat Khan was an introspective musician and writer, dedicated to her family and to her fathers spiritual values of harmony, beauty, and tolerance. She did not seem destined for wartime heroism. Yet, faced with the evils of Nazi violence and the German occupation of France, Noor joined the British Special Operations Executive and trained in espionage, sabotage, and reconnaissance. She returned to Paris under an assumed identity immediately before the Germans mopped up the Allies largest communications network in France. For crucial months of the war, Noor was the only wireless operator there sending critical information to London, significantly aiding the success of the Allied landing on D-Day. Code-named Madeleine, she became a high-value target for the Gestapo. When she was eventually captured, Noor attempted two daring escapes before she was sent to Dachau and killed just months before the end of the war.

Carefully distilled from dozens of interviews, newly discovered manuscripts, official documents, and personal letters, Code Name Madeleine is both a compelling, deeply researched history and a thrilling tribute to Noor Inayat Khan, whose courage and faith guided her through the most brutal regime in history.
