Love By The Book

Exposes the anatomy of organizational harm and how to save institutions from toxic culture While we often read about corporate scandals, we are left wondering: why do organizations keep causing harm? Benjamin van Rooij and Nicholas Lord argue that to truly understand and address the impacts of dysfunctional organizations we must look beyond senior executives and leaders and understand the deeper problems in the organization itself. To do so, Toxic uses dozens of in-depth case studies to connect the dots between various scandals and illustrate the deeper toxic patterns within organizations that lead to them. Each chapter recounts compelling stories of individuals caught within these toxic systems and addresses urgent societal challenges such as environmental degradation, the opioid epidemic, the harms of social media, and police abuse. Stories include:<ul><li>Boeing focusing so much on its day-to-day share price that it lost sight of ensuring the long-term safety of its 737 MAX airplanes.</li><li>Volkswagen experimenting with monkeys locked in cages breathing exhaust fumes in a desperate attempt to deny the harm of its “clean diesel” engines.</li><li>How the Oakland Police Department taught its rookies to engage in racist and abusive policing practices, resisting decades-long attempts to reform the department.</li></ul>Revealing, accessible, and engaging, Toxic, breaks down the core characteristics of toxic organizations and shows readers how to recognize and address toxicity in their everyday lives.

How Organizations Go Bad

Toxic

Ruth Berlau ist vielen als eine der Mitarbeiterinnen und Liebhaberinnen von Bertolt Brecht bekannt. Dabei zeugt das Leben der dänischen Journalistin, Schauspielerin und Regisseurin von Höhen, Tiefen - und kuriosen Abenteuern - fernab ihrer Beziehung zu dem berühmten Dramatiker. Dem einen, für den sie alles gibt.
Jener nutzt ihre Verliebtheit aus, erschafft ein Schülerin-Lehrer-Verhältnis und profitiert von ihrer Schlagfertigkeit. Als sie ihm auf sein Bitten ins Exil in die USA folgt und das gemeinsame Kind kurz nach der Geburt stirbt, beginnt ihr Verhältnis zu bröckeln. Zurück in Ostberlin, sagt Brecht sich von ihr los, was ihr umgekehrt nie gelingt.
In erhellenden und unterhaltsamen Episoden zeichnet Andrea Paluch den Lebensweg Ruth Berlaus nach, ohne ihren kritischen Blick zu verlieren. Dafür begibt sie sich auf ihr imaginäres Zweirad und reist Ruth Berlaus legendäre Radtour des Jahres 1928 von Kopenhagen nach Paris nach. Auf diese Weise macht die Autorin die Lebenslust, den Humor und die Unkonventionalität der jungen Dänin spürbar und unvergessen.

Alles für Einen

In this modern day fairy tale, seven sisters raised in the woods fight to keep their freedom.Deep in the woods of western Finland, a bear hunter has raised his seven daughters to live off the land and steer clear of the trappings of life in town, like cell phones and a social life outside their family. When on his youngest Elga’s twelfth birthday the hunter is killed by his prey, and their mother dies soon thereafter, the sisters are left with unpaid bills and a leaky house. The tension between sticking to the wild ways their father taught them and submitting to well-meaning townsfolk’s efforts to “help” threatens to divide the seven sisters. Eldest Johanna tries to wield control, young Elga feels tempted by the pull to education, artist Laura spends all her time dreaming up sculptures and exploring nature – but their trips to the farmer’s market to sell foraged mushrooms and their free time exploring their vast forest home bring them together in riotous fun. With evocative language and visceral scene-setting, readers get lost in world they’ve invented together and join the fight to protect it.Inspired by Aleksis Kivi’s classic Finnish novel&nbsp;Seven Brothers&nbsp;(1870), The Bear Hunter’s Daughters is at once realistic and fantastical, an intensely sensory exploration of our essential bonds both with nature and with one another.

A Tale of Seven Sisters

Spüre meinen Zorn

LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2026 From the Women's Prize-shortlisted author of First Love, The Palm House is a sharply observed, slyly funny novel of enduring friendships and small mercies. 'This goes straight onto my list of favourite modern novels' - The Times 'One of our finest novelists of constrained fury: nobody writes better' - The Observer 'Mesmerising . . . confirms Riley as one of Britain's best' - The Telegraph 'A slim, impeccably controlled story that contains multitudes' - The Guardian Laura and Putnam have been friends for a long time. Theirs is a happy meeting of minds, with long evenings spent huddled in an ancient pub by the Thames, where they share office gossip, reflect on their teenage passions, and lament the state of the world. Recently, though, Putnam has been harder to reach: he has lost his father, and the magazine to which he has dedicated his life has been hijacked by an insufferable new editor, Simon 'call me Shove' Halfpenny. Laura has her own problems: with a prickly mother and a tricky past, and in a beautiful and indifferent city, her day-to-day life is precarious. But as Putnam starts to sink into despondency, she must try to bring him back. The Palm House offers us Gwendoline Riley's trademark keen observation and wit, and leaves us - somehow - with a curious sense of possibility. It is a slender masterpiece from one of Britain's finest prose stylists. 'I love this book' - Sarah Perry, award-winning author of The Essex Serpent 'Outstandingly brilliant' - Claire-Louise Bennett, award-winning author of Big Kiss, Bye-Bye 'Riley's prose is so electric, so alive with humour and insight and passion, that by the end you will want to stand up and cheer' - Paul Murray, author of The Bee Sting Named a Most Anticipated Book for 2026 by: Financial Times, The Times, The Observer, The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Sunday Times, New Statesman, Good Housekeeping, Country &amp; Town House, Shortlist, The New York Times, Irish Times, Vulture, LitHub and BBC Culture.

The Palm House

"An astounding achievement." --Megha Majumdar, bestselling author of A Burning "Her best book yet." --Paul Yoon, award-winning author of Run Me to Earth From the bestselling author of Mary Coin comes a rich family saga set in midcentury America centered on two fierce and competitive matriarchs whose intertwined lives reflect the complexities of family, tradition, and personal ambition, told with "Silver's signature combination of toughness and grace" (Laird Hunt, bestselling author of Zorrie).Helene Simonauer and Evelyn Turner are two formidable women whose paths cross when their children marry. Both women are sharp, cunning, and unwavering in their conflicting beliefs about marriage, responsibility, and family and, most pressingly, their efforts to vie for the love of their shared granddaughter. Weaving together the lives of Helene and Evelyn--from their vastly different childhoods through the pivotal events that define them--At Last paints a vivid portrait of the American Midwest, capturing the essence of a time and place where societal norms and personal aspirations often clashed. Both intimate and expansive while capturing the complexities of ambition and love with humor and insight, At Last is a testament to what happens when an unintended, even unwanted relationship turns out to be a central one that defines a life.
