Could she risk her daughter? It had been six years since Verity Summers had fallen in love with newly qualified doctor Benedict Jackson. Although intense, their relationship hadn't lasted, and Benedict had left to take up a new post, unaware that Verity was to be the mother of their daughter. But now Benedict was returning to London—to St. Jude's Hospital, where Verity was a theater nurse. Verity was certain she could control the feelings she still harbored for him. But could she—did she want to—hide the truth about their daughter?

The coauthors of the bestselling Peak Performance dive into the fascinating science behind passion, showing how it can lead to a rich and meaningful life while also illuminating the ways in which it is a double-edged sword. Here’s how to cultivate a passion that will take you to great heights—while minimizing the risk of an equally great fall. Common advice is to find and follow your passion. A life of passion is a good life, or so we are told. But it's not that simple. Rarely is passion something that you just stumble upon, and the same drive that fuels breakthroughs—whether they're athletic, scientific, entrepreneurial, or artistic—can be every bit as destructive as it is productive. Yes, passion can be a wonderful gift, but only if you know how to channel it. If you're not careful, passion can become an awful curse, leading to endless seeking, suffering, and burnout. Brad Stulberg and Steve Magness once again team up, this time to demystify passion, showing readers how they can find and cultivate their passion, sustainably harness its power, and avoid its dangers. They ultimately argue that passion and balance--that other virtue touted by our culture--are incompatible, and that to find your passion, you must lose balance. And that's not always a bad thing. They show readers how to develop the right kind of passion, the kind that lets you achieve great things without ruining your life. Swift, compact, and powerful, this thought-provoking book combines captivating stories of extraordinarily passionate individuals with the latest science on the biological and psychological factors that give rise to—and every bit as important, sustain—passion.

"Every Holocaust story is unique, but Joe Pell's is so extraordinary it transcends the genre. Pell's book is part World War II saga, part adventure tale, part memoir. It encompasses the tragedy of the war and the triumph of the survivors. It goes from Pell's days sleeping on leaves and digging for potatoes in the Ukranian woods to his life among the Bay Area's most successful businessmen. It's also a great read. -Caroline Jones, San Francisco Chronicle. Illustrations. Winner Foreword Magazine Book of the Year Bronze Award

Explores activist scholarship in relation to feminist and social movements in the Americas. Taking Risks offers a creative, interdisciplinary approach to narrating the stories of activist scholarship by women. The essays are based on the textual analysis of interviews, oral histories, ethnography, video storytelling, and theater. The contributors come from many disciplinary backgrounds, including theater, history, literature, sociology, feminist studies, and cultural studies. The topics range from the underground library movement in Cuba, femicide in Juárez, community radio in Venezuela, video archives in Colombia, exiled feminists in Canada, memory activism in Argentina, sex worker activists in Brazil, rural feminists in Nicaragua, to domestic violence organizations for Latina immigrants in Texas. Each essay addresses two themes: telling stories and taking risks. The authors understand women activists across the Americas as storytellers who, along with the authors themselves, work to fill the Latin American and Caribbean studies archives with histories of resistance. In addition to sharing the activists stories, the contributors weave in discussions of scholarly risk taking to speak to the challenges and importance of elevating the storytellers and their histories. Julie Shayne took a risk with this book, and the result is impressive: By challenging the activism-research divide that US academies so often sustain, the authors in this collection challenge epistemological as well as national, race, class, age, and gender boundaries. Taking Risks is a must read for researchers and students alike! Amy Lind, editor of Development, Sexual Rights, and Global Governance

Walt Robb is convinced that taking calculated risks is the key to success in business and life. His concern today is that U.S. companies are becoming risk-averse, presenting a real threat to our country. Are we becoming less competitive by not taking enough legitimate risks? Are we depending too much on start-ups and acquisitions for innovation and continued growth? Walt addresses these and other issues in TAKING RISKS. Using his own experiences, large and small, he demonstrates what prudent risk-taking can achieve in business and in life. It's a must read for everyone concerned about America's competitive posture in today's global economy.
