  A look into the mind of “the world’s consummate entrepreneur” through his quotes on leadership, branding, innovation, social responsibility, and more (Huffington Post).   Richard Branson, who has been called “England’s most outrageous billionaire,” is also one of the world’s most successful business leaders. Since the age of 16, when he founded Student magazine, Branson has been creating companies and finding innovative ways to grow them into the prodigious conglomerate known as the Virgin Group. At the age of 20, Branson founded a mail-order record retailer. Two years later he built a recording studio where the first artist signed to his Virgin label, Mike Oldfield, recorded the haunting soundtrack to The Exorcist. Decades later, industries as varied as entertainment (Virgin Music), retail (Virgin Megastores), transportation (Virgin Airlines), and telecommunications (Virgin Mobile) all bear Branson’s business moniker. For the first time, the most thought-provoking, revealing, and inspiring quotes from Branson have been compiled in a single book.   Updated and redesigned since its initial publication in 2013 as Virgin Rebel: Richard Branson in His Own Words, this new edition is a comprehensive guidebook to the inner workings of the Virgin Group chairman and founder. Hundreds of Branson’s best quotes, comprising thoughts on business, music, entrepreneurship, politics, exploration, and life lessons, provide an intimate and direct look into the mind of this modern business icon.  “I have no secret. There are no rules to follow in business. I just work hard and, as I always have done, believe I can do it.” —Screw It, Let’s Do It, page 30

  This is a 2-book combo, which has the following titles: 
    
    
  Book 1: If you’ve been looking for a book about narcissism, you probably already have an idea of what it is. Still, we’ll define it in this book before we start expanding on the intricate details of such a personality. In part, because there are so many myths about it and the term gets tossed around like a diaper into a trash been, while most people don’t realize what it is all about. 
  Moreover, there are other aspects of narcissism that need to be addressed. For instance, other personality disorders, such as anorexia nervosa, are sometimes linked to narcissism; and susceptible or vulnerable narcissism is very different from grandiose narcissism. And yet, despite its many unattractive traits, many people are definitely charmed by the charisma of a narcissist. 
  These topics are all very fascinating, so please, take the time to study them a bit. 
    
    
    
    
  Book 2: In this guide, we will go over some interesting subtopics related to narcissism, such as the impact of celebrities on narcissists in society, of social media, and other significant influences. 
    
  Also, we’ll go over a small checklist that you can use to see if a narcissist is a threat or not, so you know what to expect. Narcissism is often an issue in politics. Some narcissists are also sociopaths, and some narcissists are just the result of our civilization’s greedy emphasis on monetary values and the showing off of status symbols of wealth. 
    
  And then all of this begs the question: Is narcissism ever beneficial? Or is it always wrong? And if so, to what extend? 
    
  To learn more about these things, simply pick up this book online and start reading or listening.

  Understanding the Somme 1916 -...

  This is a guidebook with a difference. It is not a list of memorials and cemeteries. Its aim is to provide the reader with an understanding of the Battle of the Somme. There were some partial successes; there were many disastrous failures. In 17 concise chapters dealing with different areas of the battlefield and various aspects of strategy, this book explains what happened in each location and why.    Each chapter is accompanied by color photographs, taken by the authors in the course of many visits to the Somme, which will illustrate, illuminate and allow the reader to understand important points made in the text. It doesn`t matter whether you are in your armchair, on foot, on a bicycle, or in a car, this book will effortlessly transport you to the battlefield and will sweep you round the front line of 1 July 1916.   From Montauban in the south, to Serre in the north, it will lead you to the night attack of 14 July and to the first use of tanks on 15 September. It will take you to the Pozières Ridge and to Mouquet Farm, and to the heights above the Ancre. You will visit the famous Sunken Lane near Beaumont Hamel, where the text will transport you in time to stand with men from the 1st Lancashire Fusiliers waiting to go over the top on 1 July 1916. You will look towards Hawthorn Mine Crater and almost feel the earth tremble beneath your feet as though you were there at 07.20 hrs. on 1 July 1916. You will go into Beaumont Hamel with the 51st (Highland) Division and climb up Wagon Road. You will look across to where Frankfurt Trench once was, and where men from the 16th Highland Light Infantry from Glasgow fought a last ditch battle, having become marooned in the trench, in what was the last action to take place before the Somme finally petered out in the mud in late November 1916.   With its focus on informing and illuminating the events of 1916 on the Somme, and illustrated throughout by carefully annotated color photographs showing the sites today, this book will prove equally essential to the battlefield visitor or the 'virtual visitor' in their armchair.
