Neuware - What if your next career move could be approached like your next big deal Most professionals know how to sell a product, build a pipeline, manage a client relationship, handle objections, and negotiate a commercial agreement.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Evan Cole has spent twelve years learning to be necessary without being seen - a ramp worker at Colwood International, fluent in the silent choreography of wands and headsets.Then one ordinary shift ends, and a private reckoning he can't name anymore stays quiet.Twelve minutes later he's airborne in a stolen turboprop, alone in the rain, and the only person who can bring him down is Dana - a veteran air traffic controller working a frequency that has become the entire world.Hold Short is a novel about the last resort of the invisible: about burnout, the fantasy that one reckless act can make a life feel real, and the unglamorous work of paying attention - to a scope, to a radio, to a person still choosing, minute by minute, to stay on the ground.Contains themes of depression and a mental health crisis.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - It doesn't run countries. It influences the money that does.This morning, before you finished your coffee, a company you've probably never visited may already have touched your retirement account, your employer's pension fund, and quite possibly the mortgage on your home. Most people have never heard its name. That company is BlackRock - and by mid-2026, it was managing more money than the combined economic output of nearly every country on Earth.The Trillion-Dollar Shadow is the definitive plain-language account of how a firm founded in a single room with a handful of Bloomberg terminals grew into the most powerful asset manager in history. Drawing on public filings, congressional testimony, and years of financial reporting, this book traces BlackRock's rise through its billion-dollar acquisitions, its political battles, its quiet grip on your 401(k), and the technology platform - Aladdin - that now underpins a meaningful share of the global financial system.Inside, you'll discover: - How a $100 million trading loss in 1986 shaped BlackRock's entire risk-first culture- Why the Federal Reserve has called on BlackRock during two separate financial crises- How BlackRock's index funds quietly made it one of the largest shareholders in nearly every major U.S. public company- The real story behind the ESG backlash that cost the firm billions in state pension withdrawals- Larry Fink's nearly four-decade reign at the helm, and the annual letters that reshaped corporate boardrooms- Five persistent myths about BlackRock - including whether it's the same company as Blackstone - checked against the evidenceBalanced, rigorously sourced, and written for the curious general reader as much as the investor, The Trillion-Dollar Shadow is the book that finally explains the company hiding in plain sight inside your own financial life. Whether you hold a BlackRock fund in your retirement account or have simply heard the name in a political argument and wondered what's actually true, you'll never look at your account statement the same way again.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - She Who StayedThe Untold Story of Urmila in the RamayanaHistory remembers those who left. This is the story of the one who stayed.When Rama is exiled and Sita follows him into the forest, another life is quietly left behind.Urmila-Lakshmana's wife and Sita's sister-remains in Ayodhya.For fourteen years, while kingdoms rise and fall, battles are fought, and legends are written, she faces a different kind of journey. One without applause. One without witnesses. One that demands resilience instead of glory, silence instead of recognition, and unwavering strength in the face of absence.She Who Stayed reimagines one of the Ramayana's most overlooked voices through a deeply human and emotionally resonant lens. Rather than following the familiar path of exile and war, it turns inward-to the palace, the family, and the unseen sacrifices that quietly shape history.Richly woven with themes of love, duty, loss, identity, and quiet courage, this novel explores what it truly means to remain steadfast when the world celebrates only those who depart.This is not merely a retelling of an ancient epic-it is a tribute to every unseen sacrifice, every untold story, and every person whose strength changed the course of history without ever becoming its hero.Whether you are discovering the Ramayana for the first time or returning to one of its most cherished narratives, She Who Stayed offers a fresh, thought-provoking perspective that lingers long after the final page.…
