“Not buying it, huh?” My mother acknowledged her assertion that the woman she pointed out at the rehab center as being her dead husband was a bit of a stretch. But this was the kind of conversation I had with Mom as her cognitive abilities declined and her psychosis fully bloomed. The true, heart-wrenching, and yet hilarious stories at the center of Dementia Sucks were borne of a journal and blog that author Tracey Lawrence kept as her mother transformed from classic Jewish mother, to mildly forgetful Floridian grandma, to geriatric delinquent removed by police for knife-play at a rehabilitation facility. Really. Tracey’s journey takes her from being an established graphic artist in northern New Jersey through bouts of full-time, hands-on caregiving of both her aging parents. She discusses many of the common challenges families face, and provides a humorous and highly educational perspective on her emotionally charged ride through geriatric illnesses, doctors, hospitals, insurance, facilities, family dynamics, and much more. Anyone who has family members they care about will want to read this book. Whether dementia visits or not, some aspect of Tracey’s caregiving journey will likely resonate with, amuse, and enlighten you. The trick to surviving loss after loss is to find the humor in it all and avoid punching anyone, least of all yourself. This irreverent look shows you the way.
Dogs are getting lawyers. Cats are getting kidney transplants. Could they one day be fellow citizens? Cats and dogs were once wild animals. Today, they are family members and surrogate children. A little over a century ago, pets didn't warrant the meager legal status of property. Now, they have more rights and protections than any other animal in the country. Some say they're even on the verge of becoming legal persons. How did we get here -- and what happens next? In this fascinating exploration of the changing status of dogs and cats in society, pet lover and award-winning journalist David Grimm explores the rich and surprising history of our favorite companion animals. He treks the long and often torturous path from their wild origins to their dark days in the middle ages to their current standing as the most valued animals on Earth. As he travels across the country -- riding along with Los Angeles detectives as they investigate animal cruelty cases, touring the devastation of New Orleans in search of the orphaned pets of Hurricane Katrina, and coming face-to-face with wolves and feral cats -- Grimm reveals the changing social attitudes that have turned pets into family members, and the remarkable laws and court cases that have elevated them to quasi citizens. The journey to citizenship isn't a smooth one, however. As Grimm finds, there's plenty of opposition to the rising status of cats and dogs. From scientists and farmers worried that our affection for pets could spill over to livestock and lab rats to philosophers who say the only way to save society is to wipe cats and dogs from the face of the earth, the battle lines are being drawn. We are entering a new age of pets -- one that is fundamentally transforming our relationship with these animals and reshaping the very fabric of society. For pet lovers or anyone interested in how we decide who gets to be a "person" in today's world, Citizen Canine is a must read. It is a pet book like no other.
The Improvement Engine Summary In The Improvement Engine, you will be introduced to a set of equations called the Physics of Success. They will show how the foundation of success depends on learning and improvement. Once you are familiar with these equations, you will see that they form a rational basis for the concentration on learning and improvement that has been at the heart of the quality revolution in organizational (particularly business) practices since the latter half of the 20th century. While there is much to be learned from the equations themselves, their purpose in this book is fairly simple: to ensure that you are convinced of the need to pursue learning and improvement at least as vigorously as you pursue productivity and profit, since the latter are a product of the former. Armed with this conviction, you will then be ready to learn about the Improvement Engine. The Improvement Engine is a phenomenon which manifests itself in every person, process, and organization. It is running right now inside your own mind, and it should be part of the reason you bought this book in the first place. It is running in your business. It is running in your family. It is running in every group with which you come together to pursue any common purpose. As presented in this book, it is a fairly simple diagram that shows the foundational elements of the Physics of Success in action. The Engine is fueled by knowledge, curiosity, and hope, and it drives people to seek and act toward change. By searching and acting, they discover new knowledge, and the cycle repeats. As a model, it explains not only what works, but why the engine works something often overlooked in the literature of continuous improvement. Perhaps most importantly, it comprehends the human portion of the improvement process, explaining, if you will, the psychology of improvement or at least the psychological factors which affect it. Organizationally, the Engine explains the connections that must exist to mesh Organizational Development and Human Relations issues with improvement tools and methods most commonly associated with Quality, Design, and Manufacturing issues. Without such a meshing, adoption of improvement processes such as Six Sigma or attempts to change culture tend to be unsuccessful. The Engine makes the reasons clear. Analysis of the working of the Engine along with working your way through the accompanying Workbook, will lead to several specific actions that you can take to better manage improvement in any context, personal or organizational. Additionally, you will be able to use the Engine as a model to trace why your current efforts toward improvement are or are not meeting your own expectations. The Workbook is designed to be used by an Executive Leadership Team, or any other management team, while reading and discussing the book. This unique combination of a book and a coordinating workbook set The Improvement Engine apart from other continuous improvement how to materials. By providing a self-facilitated approach, The Improvement Engine fills a much needed void or niche as it describes not only the what, but also the WHY and the HOW of success!

"Complete with hot sex scenes, snarky double-entendres, slapstick humor, and quirky girlfriends, this comedic romp through modern-day dating checks all the romance boxes." -Kirkus Reviews Willa Frank has one simple rule: never go on a date with anyone more than twice. Now that her business is providing the stability she’s always needed, she can’t afford distractions. Her two-date rule will protect her just fine...until she meets smokejumper Grady Billman. After one date—one amazing, unforgettable date—Grady isn’t ready to call it quits, despite his own no-attachments policy, and he’s found a sneaky way around both their rules. Throwing gutter balls with pitchers of beer? Not a real date. Everyone knows bowling doesn’t count. Watching a band play at a local show? They just happen to have the same great taste in music. Definitely not a date. Hiking? Nope. How can exercise be considered a date? With every "non-date" Grady suggests, his reasoning gets more ridiculous, and Willa must admit she’s having fun playing along. But when their time together costs Willa two critical clients, it's clear she needs to focus on the only thing that matters—her future. And really, he should do the same. But what is she supposed to do with a future that looks gray without Grady in it? Each book in the Where There’s Smoke series is STANDALONE: * The Two-Date Rule * Just a Little Bet * The Best Kept Secret
