Within most disciplines there are those who are recognized by their colleagues as being exceptionally competent practitioners. These people are sometimes called "expert," "unusually competent," or "extraordinary." Their commonality is that they do their work in a remarkable way and their actions and interpersonal interactions are regarded by others as highly successful. This book is based on a recent study of the beliefs, actions, and interactions of a group of unusually competent oncology nurses. These are nurses their peers would choose to have care for them if they were diagnosed with cancer. The weaving together of the nurses’ narratives and comments, field notes, and poetry, give a very personal and unique perspective on nursing that leaves the reader with a greater understanding of the experience and rewards of caring for others.
From the battlefields of Vietnam to the halls of the White House to film sets, Halstead's sense of timing and eye for the revealing shot was unerring throughout his 50-year career. Among the 300 photographs in this collection are many that are instantly recognizable, such as Bill Clinton embracing Monica Lewinsky, or Nixon saluting with his famous V-for-victory sign.
The New York Times bestselling authors of Switch and Made to Stick explore why certain brief experiences can jolt us and elevate us and change us—and how we can learn to create such extraordinary moments in our life and work. While human lives are endlessly variable, our most memorable positive moments are dominated by four elements: elevation, insight, pride, and connection. If we embrace these elements, we can conjure more moments that matter. What if a teacher could design a lesson that he knew his students would remember twenty years later? What if a manager knew how to create an experience that would delight customers? What if you had a better sense of how to create memories that matter for your children? This book delves into some fascinating mysteries of experience: Why we tend to remember the best or worst moment of an experience, as well as the last moment, and forget the rest. Why “we feel most comfortable when things are certain, but we feel most alive when they’re not.” And why our most cherished memories are clustered into a brief period during our youth. Readers discover how brief experiences can change lives, such as the experiment in which two strangers meet in a room, and forty-five minutes later, they leave as best friends. (What happens in that time?) Or the tale of the world’s youngest female billionaire, who credits her resilience to something her father asked the family at the dinner table. (What was that simple question?) Many of the defining moments in our lives are the result of accident or luck—but why would we leave our most meaningful, memorable moments to chance when we can create them? The Power of Moments shows us how to be the author of richer experiences.

From New York Times bestselling author Mariah Stewart, a sizzling, glamorous rock-and-roll love story involving a famous singer, his wife, and a celebrity journalist—and a marriage primed to explode on national television. After fifteen years of marriage and seven children, British singer-songwriter J.D. Borders and his American wife, Maggie, were an idyllic superstar couple.

Right now I’m feeling much pain, so much so that if I don’t write this story I promised my kids would soon be done and always and never materialized, which has to be done, if only for my own sanity and to ultimately free us all up, I will feel lost. Now. What I didn’t expect to write is this other story. But that must be told to give a better understanding of why this whole mess happened anyway. My dupey heads might come up with better reasons, and then maybe someday they’ll write their books with fond memories and less pain. A bestseller will be yours, I’m sure. If not in the bookstores, it will be in your hearts. I started writing my book over thirty years ago and some. (Smile.)
Published years after her death, Moments of Being is Virginia Woolf's only autobiographical writing, considered by many to be her most important book. A collection of five memoir pieces written for different audiences spanning almost four decades, Moments of Being reveals the remarkable unity of Virginia Woolf's art, thought, and sensibility. "Reminiscences," written during her apprenticeship period, exposes the childhood shared by Woolf and her sister, Vanessa, while "A sketch of the Past" illuminates the relationship with her father, Leslie Stephens, who played a crucial role in her development as an individual a writer. Of the final three pieces, composed for the Memoir Club, which required absolute candor of its members, two show Woolf at the threshold of artistic maturity and one shows a confident writer poking fun at her own foibles.

This is not a book about the fundamentals of shutter speed or how your camera works; it is a book that will teach photographers of all levels how to work with their cameras to capture moments whether they are occurring quickly or unfolding over many hours. Capturing the Moment is about a gesture, an expression, a ball in the net, a whale breaching, like Marilyn Monroe’s skirt flying up or Alfred Eisenstaedt’s image of a kiss between a soldier and nurse in Times Square. Moments in all forms are the true core of photography, and this book will explain how to anticipate them, recognise them, choose them, and capture them, through the eyes and wisdom of award-winning photographer and celebrated author Michael Freeman.
