Milioane de angajati si mii de companii au descoperit deja placerile si beneficiile muncii la domiciliu. In companii de orice dimensiune, reprezentand, practic, fiecare domeniu, munca la domiciliu a inregistrat o crestere constanta an dupa an. Cu toate acestea, spre deosebire, de pilda, de utilizarea faxului, adoptarea acestui tip de muncǎ nu a fost nici pe departe asa de universala si comuna cum ar fi crezut multa lume. Dispunem de tehnologia necesara. Niciodata n-a fost mai usor sa comunicam si sa colaboram cu oameni de oriunde, oricand. Insa factorul uman este cel care are in continuare o problema fundamentala: lipseste o actualizare a conceptiilor noastre. Cartea aceasta isi propune sa-ti ofere tocmai aceasta viziune actuala. Iti vom pune in vedere nenumaratele beneficii ale muncii la domiciliu, inclusiv accesul la cei mai talentati angajati, eliberarea de naveta insuportabila si productivitatea marita in afara biroului consacrat. — JASON FRIED & DAVID HEINEMEIER HANSSON Remote nu reprezinta doar un set de instrumente foarte utile... Este o carte bogata in sfaturi despre colaborare, inovatie si mintea umana. — LEO BABAUTA, autorul cartii Mai mult cu mai putin (Publica, 2012) Asa cum nu ne puteam imagina un telefon mobil mai mic decat un prajitor de paine in anii '70, unele companii sunt in continuare convinse ca nu pot sa obtina un randament foarte bun de la angajatii lor decat daca acestia vin la birou. Munca virtuala reprezinta viitorul, iar Jason si David se descurca foarte bine sa descrie bunele practici, atat pentru angajati, cat si pentru angajatori. — PAMELA SLIM, autoarea cartii Escape from Cubicle Nation: From Corporate Prisoner to Thriving Entrepreneur Vei constata ca Remote iti ofera sfaturi substantiale de la niste oameni care au succes in campul virtual al muncii. Cartea este un manifest pentru renuntarea la deprinderile organizationale sufocante bazate pe un birou si un interval orar fixe, in favoarea practicilor optime de lucru pentru minunata noastra lume noua si globala. Daca organizatia ta se bazeaza pe tine sa duci anumite lucruri la bun sfarsit, cartea asta reprezinta o lectura obligatorie. — DAVID ALLEN, autorul cartii Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity Pagina cu pagina, argument dupa argument, Remote ofera nesperata oportunitate la care viseaza orice jucator, mic sau mare, de pe piata de afaceri de a schimba regulile jocului si de a-si pozitiona afacerea in fruntea revolutiei. — Argumentul UniCredit Bank Remote face parte din Co-lectia de antreprenoriat a editurii Publica, colectie sustinuta de UniCredit Bank

The Place of Tides

The Place of Tides

‘Enchanting’ Telegraph‘Miraculous’ Isabella Tree‘Exquisite’ FTFrom the No.1 bestselling author of The Shepherd's Life, an unforgettable story of friendship, redemption and a life-changing voyage of discovery on a remote Norwegian islandHow far do you have to go to find yourself? One afternoon many years ago, James Rebanks met an old woman on a remote Norwegian island. She lived and worked alone on a tiny rocky outcrop, caring for wild Eider ducks and gathering their down. Hers was a centuries-old trade that had once made men and women rich, but had long been in decline. Still, somehow, she seemed to be hanging on. Back at home, Rebanks couldn’t stop thinking about the woman on the rocks. She was fierce and otherworldly – and yet strangely familiar. Years passed. Then, one day, he wrote her a letter, asking if he could return. Bring work clothes, she replied, and good boots, and come quickly: her health was failing. And so he travelled to the edge of the Arctic to witness her last season on the island. This is the story of that season. It is the story of a unique and ancient landscape, and of the woman who brought it back to life. It traces the pattern of her work from the rough, isolated toil of bitter winter, to the elation of the endless summer light, when the birds leave behind their precious down for gathering, like feathered gold. Slowly, Rebanks begins to understand that this woman and her world are not what he had previously thought. What began as a journey of escape becomes an extraordinary lesson in self-knowledge and forgiveness

The Hitchcock Hotel

SIX FRIENDS. ONE REMOTE HOTEL. A LONG-OVERDUE REUNION. WELCOME TO THE HITCHCOCK HOTEL . . . 'Wrobel wittily recreates the mood of creeping suspense and comic horror that makes Hitchcock movies so endlessly entertaining' The Times 'Fans of Knives Out, Agatha Christie, and (of course) Alfred Hitchcock, rejoice! The Hitchcock Hotel is cool, classy – but such fun; reverent – yet so original' A.J Finn 'As twisty as a Hitchcock film' Alex Michaelides 'A scream from start to finish' Janice Hallett --- Alfred Smettle adores Hitchcock. And who better to become founder, owner and manager of The Hitchcock Hotel, a remote, sprawling Victorian house sitting atop a hill in the beautiful White Mountains, New England. There, guests can find movie props and memorabilia in every room, round-the-clock film screenings, and an aviary with fifty crows. For the hotel's first anniversary, Alfred invites the five college friends he studied film with. He hasn't spoken to any of them in sixteen years. Not after what happened. But who better to appreciate Alfred's creation? His guests arrive, and everything seems to go according to plan. Until one glimpses someone standing outside her shower curtain. Another is violently ill every time she eats the hotel food. Then their mobile phones go missing. You should always make the audience suffer as much as possible, right? The guests are stuck in the middle of nowhere, and things are about to get even worse. After all, no Hitchcock set is complete without a dead body. --- 'A slow burn of suspense, secrets, and lies that – in true Hitchcockian fashion - explodes into a series of twists, each more jaw-dropping than the last' Riley Sager ‘Artful construction, shudder-inducing suspense, and cinematic sparkle make The Hitchcock Hotel the perfect weekend escape’ Tess Wegert ‘A master stylist, Stephanie Wrobel strikes again with well-drawn characters, intricate plotting, satisfying surprises, and first-class entertainment. Endlessly clever, ridiculously entertaining, and so damn fun’ Kathleen West PRAISE FOR STEPHANIE WROBEL: 'Sensationally good – Wrobel is one to watch' Lee Child 'Worthy of Patricia Highsmith at her finest: quite superb' Daily Mail 'A riveting psychological duel' Sunday Times 'Expertly paced, hugely unsettling, and perfectly dark' Ashley Audrain 'A total page-turner' Lisa Jewell 'A spine-chilling thriller' Stylis

The Will of the Many : Volume 1

At the elite Catenan Academy, where students are prepared as the future leaders of the Hierarchy empire, the curriculum reveals a layered set of mysteries which turn murderous in this new fantasy by bestselling author of The Licanius Trilogy, James Islington. Vis, the adopted son of Magnus Quintus Ulcisor, a prominent senator within the Hierarchy, is trained to enter the famed Catenan Academy to help Ulciscor learn what the hidden agenda is of the remote island academy. Secretly, he also wants Vis to discover what happed to his brother who died at the academy. He’s sure the current Principalis of the academy, Quintus Veridius Julii, a political rival, knows much more than he’s revealing. The Academy’s vigorous syllabus is a challenge Vis is ably suited to meet, but it is the training in the use of Will, a practice that Vis finds abhorrent, that he must learn in order to excel at the Academy. Will—a concept that encompasses their energy, drive, focus, initiative, ambition, and vitality—can be voluntarily “ceded” to someone else. A single recipient can accept ceded Will from multiple people, growing in power towards superhuman levels. Within the hierarchy your level of Will, or legal rank, determines how you live or die. And there are those who are determined to destroy this hierarchal system, as well as those in the Academy who use it to gain dominance in internationally bestselling author James Islington’s wonderfully crafted new epic fantasy series

The House of Ulloa

The House of Ulloa

A rich and unforgettable tragic-comic novel of sexual intrigue and political scheming, The House of Ulloa is one of the greatest works of nineteenth-century Spanish literature. The House of Ulloa follows pure and pious Father Julián Alvarez, who is sent to a remote country estate to put the affairs of the marquis, an irresponsible libertine, in order. When he discovers moral decadence, cruelty and corruption at his new home, Julián's well-meaning but ineffectual attempts to prevent the fall of the House of Ulloa end in tragedy. Combining gothic elements with humour and social satire, The House of Ulloa is the finest achievement of Emilia Pardo Bazán, a prolific writer, feminist, traveller and intellectual, and one of the most dynamic figures of her time. Brilliantly balancing biting satire and gothic undertones, and evoking a rich sense of place, this is a wonderful novel that deserves to be ranked with the other great books of the period. The Countess Emilia Pardo Bazán was born in 1851 and married at sixteen. After separating from her husband, she embarked on an affair with novelist Benito Pérez Galdós. The House of Ulloa (1886) is generally considered as her masterpiece among her many literary works. Professor Paul O'Prey is Vice-Chancellor of the University of Roehampton, London. Lucia Graves has translated works by Robert Graves, Anaïs Nin, Katherine Mansfield and Carlos Ruiz Zafón, and is the author of a memoir, A Woman Unknown, and a novel, The Memory House. 'An absolutely first-rate novelist [...] Bazán's genius lies in the way she mixes comedy, farce, realism and heightened-pitch hysteria with a dash of gothic [...] People may travel by donkey in this book, but it could have been written yesterday' - Nick Lezard, Guardian'Pardo Bazán's mastery of social types and of the political currents that swirled around the liberal revolution are unsurpassed in Spanish literature ... O'Prey and Graves ... avoid awkward literalisms while nonetheless remaining true to the spirit of the original' New Criterio
