Author Brad Honeycutt has collected 200 of the finest deceptive images ever assembled that will excite both novices and long-time fans of illusion art. The spectrum spans from classic optical illusions to art that is "made real from the impossible." This collection includes famous paintings, stunning photographs, and computer enhanced visual eye treats that will make your mind's eye blink twice . . . and then smile. Every image was handpicked to feature a specific segment of the illusory spectrum that has one sole purpose--to illustrate the best artistic presentation possible. With commentary by the artists about their vision and techniques, this is an extraordinary book on the art and science of the illusion.

This revised edition of a bestselling management guide features a new foreword, afterword, FAQ, and performance review. It challenges the conventional wisdom that discourages honest feedback in the workplace. As a former executive at Google and Apple, Kim Scott developed a new approach to effective management known as Radical Candor. This concept emphasizes the importance of caring personally while also challenging directly. When feedback is given without care, it leads to obnoxious aggression; caring without challenging results in ruinous empathy; and failing to do either leads to manipulative insincerity. This framework aims to foster better workplace relationships and fulfill three essential leadership responsibilities: creating a culture of feedback, building cohesive teams, and achieving commendable results. The book serves as a practical guide for those feeling overwhelmed by management, offering actionable insights for both bosses and their teams. It illustrates how managers can succeed while maintaining their humanity, finding meaning in their roles, and cultivating an environment where employees enjoy their work and colleagues.

Taboo takes place in the present day, in the rural South-West of Western Australia, and tells the story of a group of Noongar people who revisit, for the first time in many decades, a taboo place: the site of a massacre that followed the assassination, by these Noongar's descendants, of a white man who had stolen a black woman. They come at the invitation of Dan Horton, the elderly owner of the farm on which the massacres unfolded. He hopes that by hosting the group he will satisfy his wife's dying wishes and cleanse some moral stain from the ground on which he and his family have lived for generations. But the sins of the past will not be so easily expunged. We walk with the ragtag group through this taboo country and note in them glimmers of re-connection with language, lore, country. We learn alongside them how countless generations of Noongar may have lived in ideal rapport with the land. Taboo won four literary awards, was longlisted for four and shortlisted for three more. It is a novel of survival and renewal, as much as destruction; and, ultimately, of hope as much as despair

Oceanic in its rhythms and understanding, brilliant in its use of language and image, moving in its largeness of spirit, compelling in its narrative scope and style, this intriguing journey is a celebration and lament—of beginning and return, of obliteration and recovery, of silencing, and of powerful utterance. Both tentative and daring, it speaks to the present and a possible future through stories, dreams, rhythms, songs, images and documents mobilized from the incompletely acknowledged and still dynamic past.

Just Work: Get it Done, Fast and Fair is the searing and brilliant book on eliminating workplace injustice, from Kim Scott the New York Times bestselling author of Radical Candor.
