The Promise

Ann Weisgarber

1900. Young pianist Catherine Wainwright flees the fashionable town of Dayton, Ohio in the wake of a terrible scandal. Heartbroken and facing destitution, she finds herself striking up correspondence with a childhood admirer, the recently widowed Oscar Williams. In desperation she agrees to marry him.

But when Catherine travels to Oscar's farm on Galveston island, Texas - a thousand miles from home - she finds she is little prepared for the life that awaits her. The island is remote, the weather sweltering, and Oscar's little boy Andre is grieving hard for his lost mother. And though Oscar tries to please his new wife, the secrets of the past sit uncomfortably between them.

Predatory Thinking

Dave Trott

Predatory Thinking starts with a simple truth: if you want more, someone is going to get less. If you aren’t 100% focused on winning your share, someone else will steal it from you. You are either predator or prey.

This book is a masterclass in how to outwit the competition, using creativity to overcome challenges in any walk of life. It is the philosophy that has underpinned Dave Trott’s career as copywriter, creative director, and founder of some of the world's most successful advertising agencies.

Confucius on Leadership

John Adair

Few things are more important than the quality and credibility of leaders, as they play a vital role in every aspect of our modern lives. Yet strong leadership is a difficult skill to master. Good leaders must learn not only to manage, analyse and appraise, but also to encourage, improve and inspire.

Here, John Adair, the celebrated expert on leadership training, shows how Confucian philosophy can help you become a better leader. He demonstrates how, far from merely being interesting ideas from centuries ago, Confucius's sayings, or Analects, will help you to develop the confidence, characteristics and skills you need to be the best leader you can be.
