Kim Scott and Trier Bryant are the co-founders of Just Work. This isn’t Trier’s first foray into diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) work. She started her career in the Air Force, where she implemented her senior capstone project that highlighted the lack of diversity across all the service academies and how that ultimately affects the lack of officer diversity. From there she led teams at Goldman Sachs, Twitter, and Astra, and she also founded DE&I consulting firm Pathfinder.

Kim was inspired to write "Just Work" after feedback from underrepresented professionals made it clear that not everyone is able to use the strategies outlined in "Radical Candor" equitably and equally. As one Black woman CEO pointed out, it’s hard for her to create radical candor in her workplace without someone invoking the angry Black woman stereotype.

Brooke Baldwin is an Anchor at CNN and Author of "Huddle: How Women Unlock Their Collective Power". She is also the creator and host of CNN's Digital series "American Woman" which focuses on the stories of trailblazing women who have broken barriers in their respective fields and are now helping other women do the same.

In her book, Brooke explores the phenomenon of “huddling,” when women lean on one another—in politics, Hollywood, activism, the arts, sports, and everyday friendships—to provide each other support, empowerment, inspiration, and the strength to solve problems or enact meaningful change. Whether they are facing adversity (like workplace inequity or a global pandemic) or organizing to make the world a better place, women are a highly potent resource for one another.

Josh Rogin is the author of "Chaos Under Heaven: Trump, Xi, and the Battle for the 21st Century". He is also an American journalist who serves as a foreign policy columnist for the Global Opinions section of The Washington Post and a political analyst for CNN.

By the time the COVID-19 pandemic erupted in Wuhan, Trump’s love-hate relationship with president Xi Jinping had sparked a trade war, while Xi’s aggression had pushed the world to the brink of a new Cold War. But their quarrel had also forced a long-overdue reckoning within the United States over China’s audacious foreign-influence operations, horrific human rights abuses, and creeping digital despotism. Ironically, this awakening was one of the biggest foreign-policy victories of Trump’s fractious term in office.

John Preston is the author of "Fall: The Mystery of Robert Maxwell". Robert Maxwell was a British media proprietor, Member of Parliament, suspected spy, and fraudster. Originally from Czechoslovakia, Maxwell rose from poverty to build an extensive publishing empire.

In February 1991, Robert Maxwell triumphantly sailed into Manhattan harbor on his yacht, the Lady Ghislaine, to buy the ailing New York Daily News. Taxi drivers stopped their cabs to shake his hand, children asked for his autograph, and patrons of the hottest restaurant in Manhattan gave him a standing ovation while he dined. Ten months later, Maxwell disappeared off that same yacht in the middle of the night and was later found dead in the water. As John Preston reveals in this entertaining and revealing biography, Maxwell’s death was as mysterious as his remarkable life.
