Um olhar inovador sobre o que está por trás do sucesso individual e das equipes. Prefácio de Carol Dweck, autora de Mindset. “Leitura essencial para criar uma cultura que promova inovação, integridade, inclusão e capacidade de assumir riscos.” – Angela Duckworth, autora de Garra “Pioneira na pesquisa sobre o mindset dos ambientes de trabalho, Mary Murphy criou um roteiro útil, envolvente e baseado em evidências para construir organizações voltadas para o aprendizado.” – Adam Grant, autor de Potencial oculto Discípula da psicóloga Carol Dweck na Universidade Stanford, Mary Murphy escreveu este livro para mostrar que os mindsets fixo e de crescimento não se restringem a pessoas: também se aplicam às equipes – seja em uma empresa, um time esportivo ou mesmo uma família. A autora conduziu uma pesquisa de mais de uma década sobre como o mindset das organizações influencia a postura e o desempenho de seus colaboradores, bem como o resultado dos negócios. Segundo ela, organizações orientadas para o mindset de crescimento estimulam um aprendizado mais profundo, incentivam a colaboração e a inovação e constroem relações de confiança. Nessas culturas, grandes ideias surgem de pessoas de todos os níveis hierárquicos, e não apenas de indivíduos considerados brilhantes ou talentosos, como é comum nas organizações de mindset fixo. Você vai conhecer exemplos inspiradores de empresas, escolas e startups que redirecionaram seus esforços para formar culturas de crescimento, como a Microsoft sob a gestão de Satya Nadella e a Shell diante do desafio da energia do futuro. Em um mundo no qual o sucesso parece reservado a poucos, este livro ensina a moldar ambientes onde as pessoas queiram estar, possam prosperar e atinjam seu potencial máximo, tanto individual quanto coletivamente.

A richly illustrated jaunt through western history, Mining Cultures is the never-told chronicle of how women transformed the richest hill on earth.

In a lyrical story by Mary Murphy, gorgeously illustrated by award-winning artist Zhu Cheng-Liang, a child offers an ode to her favorite things — and people. What I like most in the world is my window. This morning, through my window, I see the postman at the red gate. . . . A little girl observes, one by one, things that give her pleasure — the apricot jam on her toast, the light-up shoes that make her feet bounce, the sparkling river, the pencil whose color comes out like a ribbon. But even after the jar becomes empty, and the shoes grow too small, and the pencil is all used up, one thing will never change. In a tenderly imagined story, Mary Murphy celebrates the intimacy of the bond between mother and child, while Zhu Cheng-Liang’s wonderfully inviting artwork brings the day-to-day details to life.

The riveting true account of the 2001 murder of Bonny Lee Bakley, starring Robert Blake—the Hollywood icon accused of killing his wife in cold blood In May 2001 Bonny Lee Bakley was shot to death in a car parked on a dark Hollywood side street. Eleven months later Robert Blake—her husband, the father of her child, and the star of the classic film In Cold Blood and the popular 1970s TV detective series Baretta—was arrested for murder, conspiracy, and solicitation. Did Blake kill his wife? Did he hire someone to do the job for him? Award-winning journalist Dennis McDougal and entertainment-media expert Mary Murphy recount a real-life crime story more shocking and bizarre than any movie, chronicling the parallel worlds of Blake and Bakley, from their troubled youths to their sham of a marriage. By the late 1990s Blake was coasting on his past success. Bakley was a con artist who concocted online sex scams and victimized unsuspecting men, netting big money and dangerous enemies. In true noir style, McDougal and Murphy lay bare the stories of two violent people whose lives collided in a tragic tangle of abuse, betrayal, and love gone horribly wrong.

This book tells a story that nobody knows because at the time the story happened, nobody cared. The individual lives of the labouring Irish were unrecorded, irrelevant. The Hungry Grass weaves the threads of daily routine, annual cycles, religious faith, fairy belief, communal practice, and political reality to show as clear a picture as possible of the very complex life among tenant families in the nineteenth-century. The poet begins with the little she knows of her Murphy ancestors: the names and birthdates of the six who survived to emigrate, and the name of the parish where they lived. I also knew from my triple-great-grandfathers obituary that two children did not survive. This volume is one continuous poem that unfolds over the course of fifteen years. It never falters in evoking its theme, or in being focused and concise, with impeccable word choices, and unfailing, echoing rhythm. When employed, the rhyming is subtle and musical. The shape of thought, which is a consistent seven-syllable line with occasional variation of one or two syllables, is masterful in its execution of sound and sense. This is poetry that will show anyone who doubts it the continuing and necessary love of this craft, this art.

Since its original publication in 1987, Like a Family has become a classic in the study of American labor history. Basing their research on a series of extraordinary interviews, letters, and articles from the trade press, the authors uncover the voices and experiences of workers in the Southern cotton mill industry during the 1920s and 1930s. Now with a new afterword, this edition stands as an invaluable contribution to American social history. “The genius of Like a Family lies in its effortless integration of the history of the family — particularly women — into the history of the cotton-mill world.” — Ira Berlin, New York Times Book Review “Like a Family is history, folklore, and storytelling all rolled into one. It is a living, revelatory chronicle of life rarely observed by the academe. A powerhouse.” — Studs Terkel “Here is labor history in intensely human terms. Neither great impersonal forces nor deadening statistics are allowed to get in the way of people. If students of the New South want both the dimensions and the feel of life and labor in the textile industry, this book will be immensely satisfying.” — CHOICE
