    Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. A New York Times Bestseller   An intimate and powerful memoir by the trailblazing former CEO of PepsiCo For a dozen years as one of the world's most admired CEOs, Indra Nooyi redefined what it means to be an exceptional leader. The first woman of color and immigrant to run a Fortune 50 company -- and one of the foremost strategic thinkers of our time -- she transformed PepsiCo with a unique vision, a vigorous pursuit of excellence, and a deep sense of purpose. Now, in a rich memoir brimming with grace, grit, and good humor, My Life in Full offers a firsthand view of Nooyi's legendary career and the sacrifices it so often demanded.    Nooyi takes us through the events that shaped her, from her childhood and early education in 1960s India, to the Yale School of Management, to her rise as a corporate consultant and strategist who soon ascended into the most senior executive ranks. The book offers an inside look at PepsiCo, and Nooyi's thinking as she steered the iconic American company toward healthier products and reinvented its environmental profile, despite resistance at every turn.   For the first time and in raw detail, Nooyi also lays bare the difficulties that came with managing her demanding job with a growing family, and what she learned along the way. She makes a clear, actionable, urgent call for business and government to prioritize the care ecosystem, paid leave and work flexibility, and a convincing argument for how improving company and community support for young family builders will unleash the economy's full potential.    Generous, authoritative, and grounded in lived experience, My Life in Full is the story of an extraordinary leader's life, a moving tribute to the relationships that created it, and a blueprint for 21st century prosperity.…

    Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. A sensuous and compelling novel of passion and vengeance, fact and fiction based on a real-life murder in 1950s Bombay. . . . "[A] brilliant insider-outsider account of India."--Daily Mail The past is never finished with because the present is its perpetually unfolding consequence. The reverberations from the notorious Nanavati society murder in 1950s Bombay--the fatal consequence of a doomed love triangle involving an Indian playboy, his married English lover, and her jealous Indian husband--were so great they reached the offices of Prime Minister Nehru and changed the face of the Indian justice system. But there was a connected crime, an unreported and unpunished event so cruel it destroyed the lives of two women. . . . In contemporary London, Bhalu, a bookseller, unexpectedly meets his childhood friend, Phoebe, 40 years after their idyllic childhood in India. Together they will return to their homeland to solve the mystery of this long-buried crime and exact revenge for the women involved--their mothers. But in the simmering bazaars of Bombay, the adversary they seek still wields enormous power and soon the friends find themselves in real, terrifying danger.…

    Hardback. Condizione: Fair. A New York Times Bestseller   An intimate and powerful memoir by the trailblazing former CEO of PepsiCo For a dozen years as one of the world's most admired CEOs, Indra Nooyi redefined what it means to be an exceptional leader. The first woman of color and immigrant to run a Fortune 50 company -- and one of the foremost strategic thinkers of our time -- she transformed PepsiCo with a unique vision, a vigorous pursuit of excellence, and a deep sense of purpose. Now, in a rich memoir brimming with grace, grit, and good humor, My Life in Full offers a firsthand view of Nooyi's legendary career and the sacrifices it so often demanded.    Nooyi takes us through the events that shaped her, from her childhood and early education in 1960s India, to the Yale School of Management, to her rise as a corporate consultant and strategist who soon ascended into the most senior executive ranks. The book offers an inside look at PepsiCo, and Nooyi's thinking as she steered the iconic American company toward healthier products and reinvented its environmental profile, despite resistance at every turn.   For the first time and in raw detail, Nooyi also lays bare the difficulties that came with managing her demanding job with a growing family, and what she learned along the way. She makes a clear, actionable, urgent call for business and government to prioritize the care ecosystem, paid leave and work flexibility, and a convincing argument for how improving company and community support for young family builders will unleash the economy's full potential.    Generous, authoritative, and grounded in lived experience, My Life in Full is the story of an extraordinary leader's life, a moving tribute to the relationships that created it, and a blueprint for 21st century prosperity.…

    Paperback. Condizione: Fair. In this Booker-shortlisted novel, Indra Sinha's profane, furious, and scathingly funny narrator delivers an unflinching look at what it means to be human. I used to be human once. So I'm told. I don't remember it myself, but people who knew me when I was small say I walked on two feet, just like a human being. Ever since he can remember, Animal has gone on all fours, his back twisted beyond repair by the catastrophic events of that night when a burning fog of poison smoke from the local factory blazed out over the town of Khaufpur, and the Apocalypse visited his slums. Now just turned seventeen and well schooled in street work, he lives by his wits, spending his days jamisponding (spying) on town officials and looking after the elderly nun who raised him, Ma Franci. His nights are spent fantasizing about Nisha, the girlfriend of the local resistance leader, and wondering what it must be like to get laid. When Elli Barber, a young American doctor, arrives in Khaufpur to open a free clinic for the still suffering townsfolk--only to find herself struggling to convince them that she isn't there to do the dirty work of the Kampani--Animal gets caught up in a web of intrigues, scams, and plots with the unabashed aim of turning events to his own advantage. Profane, piercingly honest, and scathingly funny, Animal's People illuminates a dark world shot through with flashes of joy and lunacy. A stunning tale of an unforgettable character, it is an unflinching look at what it means to be human: the wounds that never heal and a spirit that will not be quenched.…

    Paperback. Condizione: Good. For readers of Margaret Atwood, China Miéville, and David Mitchell comes a striking debut novel by a storyteller of keen insight and captivating imagination.LAMBDA LITERARY AWARD WINNER ? NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POSTOn a cool evening in Kolkata, India, beneath a full moon, as the whirling rhythms of traveling musicians fill the night, college professor Alok encounters a mysterious stranger with a bizarre confession and an extraordinary story. Tantalized by the man?s unfinished tale, Alok will do anything to hear its completion. So Alok agrees, at the stranger?s behest, to transcribe a collection of battered notebooks, weathered parchments, and once-living skins.From these documents spills the chronicle of a race of people at once more than human yet kin to beasts, ruled by instincts and desires blood-deep and ages-old. The tale features a rough wanderer in seventeenth-century Mughal India who finds himself irrevocably drawn to a defiant woman?and destined to be torn asunder by two clashing worlds. With every passing chapter of beauty and brutality, Alok?s interest in the stranger grows and evolves into something darker and more urgent.Shifting dreamlike between present and past with intoxicating language, visceral action, compelling characters, and stark emotion, The Devourers offers a reading experience quite unlike any other novel.Praise for The Devourers?A chilling, gorgeous saga that spans several centuries and many lands . . . The all-too-human characters?including the nonhuman ones?and the dreamlike, recursive plot serve to entrance the reader. . . . There?s no escaping The Devourers. Readers will savor every bite.??N. K. Jemisin, The New York Times Book Review?The Devourers is beautiful. It is brutal. It is violent and vicious. . . . [It] also showcases Das?s incredible prowess with language and rhythm, and his ability to weave folklore and ancient legend with modern day loneliness.??Tordotcom?A wholly original, primal tale of love, violence, and transformation.??Pierce Brown, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Red Rising Trilogy?Astonishing . . . a narrative that takes possession of you and pulls you along in its wake.??M. R. Carey, author of The Girl with All the Gifts.…
