That's What She Said
By Lipman, Joanne
First things first: There will be no man shaming in That's What She Said. A recent Harvard study found that corporate "diversity training" has actually made the gender gap worse - in part because it makes men feel demonized. Women, meanwhile, have been told closing the gender gap is up to them: they need to speak up, to be more confident, to demand to be paid what they're worth. They discuss these issues amongst themselves all the time. What they don't do is talk to men about it. It's time to end that disconnect. More people in leadership roles are genuinely trying to transform the way we work together, because there's abundant evidence that companies with more women in senior leadership perform better by virtually every measure. Yet despite good intentions, men often lack the tools they need, leading to fumbles, missteps, frustration and misunderstanding that continue to inflict real and lasting damage on women's careers.That's What She Said solves for that dilemma. Filled with illuminating anecdotes, data from the most recent studies, and stories from Joanne Lipman's own journey to the top of a male-dominated industry, it shows how we can win by reaching across the gender divide. What can the Enron scandal teach us about the way men and women communicate professionally How does brain chemistry help explain men's fear of women's emotions at work Why did Kimberly Clark have an all-male team of executives in charge of their Kotex tampon line What can we learn from Iceland's campaign to "feminize" an entire nation That's What She Said shows why empowering women as true equals is an essential goal for women and men - and offers a roadmap for getting there.That's What She Said solves for: The respect gap Unconscious bias Interruptions The pay and promotion gap Being heard The motherhood penalty "Bropropriation" and "mansplaining" And more ... .

82 Days on Okinawa
By Art, Shaw,
In celebration of the 75th anniversary, a riveting first-hand account of the Battle of Okinawa--the Pacific War's "bloodiest battle of all" (New York Times) --from the first officer ashore, who served at the front for the battle's entire 82-day duration, heroism that earned him a Bronze Star.On Easter Sunday, April 1, 1945, 1,500 Allied ships and 1.5 million men gathered off the coast of the Japanese island of Okinawa and launched the largest amphibious assault of the Pacific War. They expected an 80% casualty rate. The first American officer ashore was Major Art Shaw, a unit commander in the U.S. Army's 361st Artillery Battalion of the 96th Division, often called the Deadeyes. For the next three months, Major Shaw and his men served at the front lines of the Pacific's bloodiest battle, their artillery proving decisive against a "phantom enemy" who had entrenched themselves into rugged, craggy island.

By Small, Zachary
A New York Times investigative reporter wades into the murky, pixelated waters of the multibillion-dollar NFT market - the virtual casino that sprang up overnight in 2020 and came crashing down, with all its celebrity hucksters, just two years later.

"A perfect book to understand and to laugh at the craziness of the art world today." - Jerry Saltz, author of How to Be an Artist. In 2021, when the gavel fell at Christie's on the sale of Mike Winkelmann's Everydays series - a compilation of five thousand digital artworks - it made a thunderous announcement: Non-fungible tokens had arrived. The ludicrous world of CryptoKitties and Bored Apes had just produced a piece of art worth $69.
