The Velvet Revolution at Work The Rise of Employee Engagement, the Fall of Command and Control【電子書籍】[ John Smythe ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>What drives or delivers engaged people? Employers need to focus on creating the right conditions. Employers can't impose engagement: people need to choose to engage themselves. In The Velvet Revolution at Work, the follow-up to his best-selling The CEO: Chief Engagement Officer, John Smythe explains that the essential ingredient of the right conditions is a culture of distributed leadership which enables people at work to liberate their creativity to deliver surprisingly good results for their institution and themselves. Using models, examples and anecdotes from his client research he goes on to demonstrate exactly how to design an engagement process; one that is integrated with your business strategy and that is sustainable.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Girl in Blue Velvet Who Fell From the Stars【電子書籍】[ Paula Freda ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Excerpt 1 ...The loud thump, closer to a crash, shook his bed and rattled the dozen spaceship models on the upper shelf of his bookcase opposite his bed. His body jerked awake. His gasp slurred through lips dry from a night's sleep. "What theー" ... Silence. Ben groaned. He must have been dreaming. He peered drowsily at his wrist watch. It was 5 a.m. He yawned drowsily, pulled the covers tighter about him and went back to sleep, missing the bright colors seeping from behind the perimeter of the drawn curtains....</p> <p>Excerpt 2: ...It wasn't the figure itself that made him pause, turn and look, but the feeling that the figure was watching him. At this distance, he couldn't tell if it was male or female. He honestly was too tired to bother finding out. About to turn back toward his apartment, he noticed the figure beginning to move towards him. A paranoid thought ran through his mind. Was he about to be mugged? But that thought gave way to curiosity as the figure drew closer and he saw that it was a young woman in a gray t-shirt and jeans.<br /> By the time she stood at arms length, he couldn't take his eyes off her face. Her eyes were dark blue and her long hair tied in a pony tail was honey ash blonde. She greeted him with the quaintest smile and a suave "hello."<br /> The words escaped his mouth before he could reflect. "You wouldn't perchance have done modeling?" Ben asked. Oh my God, he thought grimacing. That sounded like a pick-up line, or worse, a predator's pick up line."<br /> The girl raised her chin and met his gaze head on. "Yeah, I might have," she replied lazily, a playful tease in her voice.<br /> Ben thought suspiciously. Maybe she was the predator.<br /> "Do I know you?" he asked.<br /> "No, not likely."<br /> Ben asked, "What's your name?"<br /> The girl tilted her head, her expression saying, let me think. "Oh, of course. My name is Jessica ー Jessica Simmons. At least that's as near a translation as I can give you."<br /> Ben peered closer at her. Her features and her accent were American, though not Montanan, more northeast coast. New York. He had attended college in upstate New York on a scholarship.<br /> "Where are you from?" he asked.<br /> "Oh, it's pretty far up. You wouldn't know the place."<br /> "Northeast?" he pressed.<br /> Again she thought before answering. She glanced upward. "Yeah, Northeast. Definitely Northeast."<br /> She wasn't very forthcoming, Ben thought. But why should she be, he reasoned. It was clear to him now that they had never met before.<br /> He had to ask, "Was there something you wanted from me?" After all, she had approached him.<br /> "No," she replied. "You asked me ー if I'd done modeling."<br /> "Yes, but..." Ben ran a nervous hand through his hair.<br /> She remarked, "It's brown, dark, rich, like the soil here."<br /> "Yeah," he laughed. He'd never heard his hair described that way.<br /> "Listen," he said. "I'm sincere about the modeling. I have my card here." He dug into the inside pocket of his blazer. "I work for a top notch fashion magazine. The name is on the card. Certainly if I was in your place, I wouldn't trust a stranger. Take the time to investigate. The magazine has been around for years, and is well known in fashion circles."<br /> The girl examined the card, front and back. She sniffed it. "Paper, nice, shiny."<br /> Ben swallowed. He hoped she was not an escapee from a mental institution. Or perhaps, he allowed, she was simple-minded. In either case, he must be crazy to be having this conversation with her. But the girl fit his sketch, even without makeup. And after viewing hundreds of photos of beautiful women, none of them had come anywhere close to fitting his sketch like this girl.<br /> "Jessica, my boss' name is Lester Edwards. You can verify everything I've told you before you come to the office, as well you should."<br /> She smiled at him, warmly. "I'll be there," she promised, her voice earnest. "You go and rest now. You look exhausted."<br /> Ben watched, befuddled, as she turned and retraced her steps, and disappeared around a bend in the parking lot....</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Velvet Rope Economy How Inequality Became Big Business【電子書籍】[ Nelson D. Schwartz ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>From <em>New York Times</em> business reporter Nelson D. Schwartz comes a gripping investigation of how a virtual velvet rope divides Americans in every arena of life, creating a friction-free existence for those with money on one side and a Darwinian struggle for the middle class on the other side.</strong></p> <p>In nearly every realm of daily life--from health care to education, highways to home security--there is an invisible velvet rope that divides how Americans live. On one side of the rope, for a price, red tape is cut, lines are jumped, appointments are secured, and doors are opened. On the other side, middle- and working-class Americans fight to find an empty seat on the plane, a place in line with their kids at the amusement park, a college acceptance, or a hospital bed.<br /> We are all aware of the gap between the rich and everyone else, but when we weren't looking, business innovators stepped in to exploit it, shifting services away from the masses and finding new ways to profit by serving the privileged. And as decision-makers and corporate leaders increasingly live on the friction-free side of the velvet rope, they are less inclined to change--or even notice--the obstacles everyone else must contend with. Schwartz's "must read" book takes us on a behind-the-scenes tour of this new reality and shows the toll the velvet rope divide takes on society.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Scrape the Velvet from Your Antlers Poems【電子書籍】[ Kelly McQuain ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>The TRP Southern Poetry Breakthrough Series: West Virginia</strong></p> <p>In questioning the boundaries between the world and oneself, <em>Scrape the Velvet from Your Antlers</em> unflinchingly explores the dark eddies of coming of age and coming out. Kelly McQuain’s poems are far roaming in setting and far ranging in style, depicting the richness of a rural West Virginia upbringing as well as contemporary adulthood in the big city and abroad. Glints of humor and glimpses of pathos abound in the imaginative leaps these poems take as they tackle such subjects as LGBTQ sexuality, homophobia, domestic abuse, and racism. Unafraid to push the limits of contemporary sonics, McQuain’s work is rich in music and varied in form, with new riffs on the sonnet, the villanelle, and the persona poem. Accessible and lyrical, this debut collection deftly explores the homes we come from and the homes we createーall the while shining with wonder and resolve. Several of the poems won contests including the Bloom chapbook prize, the Glitter Bomb Award, <em>Best New Poets 2000</em>.<br /> ...<br /> <em><strong>From “No Trespassing”</strong></em><br /> <em>It’s me who worries about her mini-strokes<br /> and falls, the knot on her head from where she<br /> stumbled picking blackberries on the bank.<br /> She watches the bees come, stippling themselves<br /> with pollen, flowers bending in the breeze.<br /> This world is hers, for nowーall she covets.<br /> Tonight it is a black bear and three cubs up against<br /> her window, spilling seeds from a bird feeder<br /> hung against the house. My mother stands<br /> in the dark by that window, her thin hand,<br /> the chill of ghostly glass.</em></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Velvet Doublet【電子書籍】[ James H Street ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p> This is a story of a man called Lepe. </p> <p> It is the story of a lifetime spent on the sea in the most dazzling years in all the history of navigation and discovery. It is the story of dark days spent under the shadow of the Spanish Inquisition; of bright hours of roistering and shining moments of love. But Lepe's story cannot be told without telling of another man ー a brave, arrogant, and determined visionary. That man is Christopher Columbus.</p> <p> The time is late in the fifteenth century, when the scimitar of Islam was across North Africa and the Moors still held Granada. Constantinople had fallen to the Turks, and Cathay, with its spices, its gold, and its aloes, lay like a locked treasure chest behind the embattled minarets of the East. Denied these riches, Europe waited for bread while the Holy-Orders fought for men's souls. The long bleak night was upon Europe, and a few men ー only a fewー turned their backs on the East and looked westward toward the Ocean Sea and the Unknown.</p> <p> Come with Lepe and his friends ー the hunchback called The Rabbit and Areos, the brawny muleteer ー to the seaports of the Mediterranean as they sail with the sagacious Pinzon. Follow them to Palos as they stand on the decks of a little vessel, the Pinta, that August morning and set sail on the great adventure. And watch while mutiny roars through the three tiny ships and the stubborn Columbus sails on, undaunted. And thrill with them when first Lepe sights the cliffs of San Salvador . . . only to be denied, by the temperamental Columbus, the coveted prize promised to the first man to see the New World . . . the Velvet Doublet.</p> <p> But their story doesn't end here. There is excitement and intrigue, rich good fortune and bitter tragedy, whirlwind passion and uncanny tricks of fate in store for you as you read Lepe's exciting account of the years when Columbus built an ocean bridge to the New World.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Green Velvet Chair Sometimes Inspiration Comes from the Most Unlikely Places【電子書籍】[ Laura E Ballerini ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<h3><strong>The Green Velvet Chair</strong></h3> <p><em>Sometimes Inspiration Comes from the Most Unlikely Places</em></p> <p>Inspiration is all around us-waiting to be captured. Art is everywhere too-not only in museums. Art is in food, music, nature, and so much more. Inspiration enables each of us to become artists in our own way.</p> <p>Laura Ballerini is a designer who started much of her creative journey at The Calgary Herald in Canada. She now owns her own digital design boutique and seamlessly weaves together an unlikely array of stories about her inspiring mother, museum visits, online shopping, designing in the dirt, and many other adventures (including a visit to Graceland). Some of these essays are funny, some poignant-all are memorable snippets of universal experiences meant to spark our awareness and awaken us to the rich fields of design all around us. Ballerini's stories encourage the reader to embrace the following:</p> <ol> <li> <ol> <li>Appreciate art and design around you. It's everywhere including how we dress, talk and interact with the world. It's not just a painting hanging in a gallery, it's also the leaves hanging on a tree and the necklace around our neck. It's arts and crafts, music, dance and so much more.</li> <li>Find your own creative outlet. We are all gifted. Albert Einstein was a brilliant musician; Louis Pasteur a talented painter. But they were known for their skills in math, physics and chemistry. Honing our creative thinking makes us better in all aspects of our life.</li> <li>Nurture our own inner badass-not by riding a motorcycle with leathers and a bandana but by standing up to the bullies; having the confidence to say "Yes, I can" when the world says "I don't think so"; and losing your inhibitions on the dancefloor at the family wedding! Life is short and we need to bravely embrace all aspects of our creativity.</li> </ol> </li> </ol> <p>The essays span over Laura's 40+ years in the design industry and are viewed through her unique creative lens. Her discovery: We are all artists in our own unique way-in the kitchen, in our gardens, and in our relationships.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Sweet, Wild and Vicious: Listening to Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground【電子書籍】[ Jim Higgins ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>From the time he began recording with the Velvet Underground in the 1960s until his death in 2013, Lou Reed released nearly 50 original albums. In</strong> <em><strong>Sweet, Wild and Vicious</strong></em>**, Jim Higgins delves into each one, with descriptions, details, analysis and appraisals that will amplify and expand fans' understanding and appreciation of them.**</p> <p><strong>This listener's guide is both personal and authoritative, a thoughtful consideration of Reed's entire career from the clear-eyed (but opinionated) perspective of a devoted follower able to separate the highs from the lows.</strong></p> <p><strong>Greg Kot,</strong> <em><strong>Sound Opinions</strong></em> <strong>co-host:</strong></p> <p>I didn't think we needed another book on Lou Reed or the Velvet Underground until I read Sweet, Wild and Vicious. A voracious listener and gifted writer, Jim Higgins contextualizes Reed's life and aesthetic in a way that illuminates the world he created between the headphones. His recordings ー by turns brilliant, confounding and daring ー finally get the book they deserve. It's nothing less than an essential addition to our understanding and appreciation of Reed/Velvets.</p> <p><strong>Victor DeLorenzo, actor, writer, musician, founding member of the Violent Femmes:</strong></p> <p>I have been aware of and absolutely mystified by the glorious VU since I was 16 years old. Jim Higgins has written a book that celebrates this magical group of musicians and then proceeds to follow the many enigmas that is Lou Reed. (I had the pleasure to meet them all and record and play live with Moe and Sterling.) Jim presents a very good take on Lou, and I'm sure the audience that adores Mr. Reed will enjoy the way Jim listens and responds to the recordings.</p> <p><strong>Elizabeth Nelson, singer-songwriter, the Paranoid Style:</strong></p> <p>Replete with gimlet-eyed observations and a true fan's infectious enthusiasm, Jim Higgins' survey of Lou Reed's solo years is simultaneously a wild ride and a scholarly account of a complex and legendary canon. Two hundred and fifty-five pages of street hassles, dance crazes, and brilliant new sensations. Bold and essential.</p> <p><strong>Tom Moon, author of the</strong> <em><strong>New York Times</strong></em> <strong>bestseller</strong> <em><strong>1000 Recordings to Hear Before You Die</strong></em>**:**</p> <p>Jim Higgins begins with a disclaimer: "I have no unifying theory of Lou Reed to sell you." Be glad about that! As fits his subject, Higgins engages at street level, weaving carefully researched details, sharp original descriptions of the music and reactions from artists (and tastemakers) into a thorough exploration of the sonic realms this icon visited ー and then owned.</p> <p><strong>Musician Steve Wynn (Dream Syndicate, Baseball Project):</strong><br /> A heroic job of navigating the choppy and complicated waters of Lou Reed's recorded history. Putting his spin on the good, the bad and the ugly contained in the grooves, Higgins takes no prisoners. This book will make you want to go back and listen to the records one more time with fresh ears ー and ain't that what it's all about?</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p>The Second in the Series of ‘The Destin Blake Cody Story’. Destin Blake Cody, known to his adoring fans as Blake, is becoming the hottest show on the Vegas Stip. Blake, with the help of his ‘manager’ Stevie, has found his niche in reviving the old Rat Pack songs. The Kublai Khan Kasino, one of the top rated Casinos on the Strip, has booked Blake for the foreseeable future and built a theater just for his show- The New Copa Room. Danny Endabai, a crew leader for a minor Mob, has commissioned paintings on velvet from a down in his luck Vegas artist, as a way for the Mob to transfer ill-gotten revenues across the Mexican border to the Cartel. While Danny is away, his number two not only picks up the wrong paintings from the artist but puts the artist in a coma. To celebrate Blake’s third year anniversary of staying sober and drug free, Stevie buys three paintings for Blake at ‘fire sale’ art auction of the artist’s remaining paintings. The artist’s niece, Cynthia, arrives to find her uncle in the hospital and the studio covered in police tape. She eventually finds her way to the buyer of her uncle’s painting.<br /> What with ‘black swans’, the Twiddles, a gangland hit on Blake, the Khan’s Staff starting up a betting pool on ‘their’ Stevie and Cynthia’s first public kiss, and romance under the Nevada night sky, the question becomes how Blake, Stevie and Cynthia figure out the mysteries of the velvet paintings.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

A Velvet of Vampyres Tales of Horror【電子書籍】[ Don Webb ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>A VELVET OF VAMPYRES: Tales of Horror, by Don Webb. It's a "murder" of crows and a "parliament" of owls. For bats, the genus is "velvet," and hence also for vampires. We like the older spelling, the one John Polidori gave us when he alerted the world to their presence. They’re here--dominating our dreams, our fears, our media. But what if they aren't boy-band-pretty with diamond sparkly skin? What if they're more dangerous because they’re Desire herself? What if they're behind deep erotic urges AND the desire to write a poem? What if they live in the need to tear open a bright shiny Christams present AND the desire to drink hot red blood burning bright in the night? Seven great tales of the living undead by a Master of the Order of the Vampyre of the Temple of Set.

Deadly Charms: The Velvet Hex【電子書籍】[ Elara Quinn ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In the shadow-drenched city of Valemire, where charmcraft is as common as crime, Detective Marin Vale walks the thin line between law and magic. When a high-profile socialite is found brutally murdered, her chest hollowed and black velvet petals scattered like a signature, Marin is thrust into a case that's both eerily familiar and dangerously personal.</p> <p>The crime scene reeks of charmcraftーdark, precise, and unmistakable. The evidence points toward Lucian Drake, a notorious charm dealer with a history tangled in Marin's past. But Lucian's name isn't the only one whispered in the shadows. Selene Ward, a rogue charmcrafter thought to be nothing more than a ghost, has resurfaced, and her deadly spells leave more than just bodies in their wakeーthey leave marks on the soul.</p> <p>As Marin digs deeper, she uncovers a web of corruption woven through Valemire's elite, secret societies like The Crimson Veil, and a sinister force known only as <em>The Velvet Hex</em>. The victims aren't random. Each murder is a message, part of a larger design connected to forbidden magic capable of bending wills and erasing identities.</p> <p>Haunted by her own history with Lucian and the dark past she's tried to bury, Marin must navigate a world where nothing is as it seems. Allies have hidden motives, and every clue pulls her closer to a truth she isn't ready to faceーthat some spells never break, and some ghosts refuse to stay dead.</p> <p><em>Deadly Charms: The Velvet Hex</em> is a gritty, spellbinding noir where murder meets magic, loyalty is an illusion, and the real danger isn't what's hidden in the darkーit's what's standing right in front of you.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
