Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people do not think to observe geology from the sidewalks of a major city, but all David B. Williams has to do is look at building stone in any urban center to find a range of rocks equal to any assembled by plate tectonics. In Stories in Stone, he takes you on explorations to find 3.5-billion-year-old rock that looks like swirled pink-and-black taffy, a gas station made of petrified wood, and a Florida fort that has withstood three hundred years of attacks and hurricanes, despite being made of a stone that has the consistency of a granola bar. Williams also weaves in the cultural history of stone, explaining why a white fossil-rich limestone from Indiana became the only building stone used in all fifty states; how in 1825, the construction of the Bunker Hill Monument led to America’s first commercial railroad; and why when the same kind of marble used by Michelangelo clad a Chicago skyscraper it warped so much after nineteen years that all 44,000 panels of it had to be replaced. This love letter to building stone brings to life the geology you can see in the structures of every city.

Book excerpt: Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere. -Albert Einstein Since the early 2000s, business storytelling has become a widely accepted strategy for companies around the world. Stories are harnessed in advertising, marketing, PR, and even leadership and culture development. Now for the first time ever, Once Upon an Innovation builds upon these practices and applies story techniques to creative problem solving and innovation. Stories light up the imagination, fostering the creative collaboration necessary to inspire, develop, and commercialize winning ideas. Stories also trigger the brain to release oxytocin, the trust and empathy hormone, making them a powerful tool for understanding and addressing users' needs. This also means that storytelling methods can be applied to the other half of the battle-getting others on board with new ideas as they move through the various checkpoints in an organization. This easy-to-read, how to guidebook provides story-based strategies and tools to: * generate rich and meaningful ideas. * rally stakeholders and a team around a vision. * gain empathy for user and insights into users. * bring formative ideas to life for testing and prototyping. - develop storytelling skills to persuade and inspire others. With an engaging balance of anecdotes, theories, and tools, Jean Storlie and Mimi Sherlock take their combined 50+ years of experience to illustrate how storytelling can be applied to accelerate innovation and lead change. Gather around the campfire-your story starts now.

Book excerpt: A Guide to Inspire Creativity and Storytelling Through Nature by Diana Suskind with LeahCrandallPhotography and Paintings by Diana Suskindwith Illustrations by Peter H. Reynolds Stonework Play is an open-ended response to the invitation to work and play with stones. Stones are a kinesthetic medium, never fixed in their place or meaning, the ground an endless canvas and small hands the brushes that move them. Stonework Play is also a how-to book that guides its audience through predictable steps for telling stories with stones. It also recounts a history, beginning with its conception in Nepal. It includes selected stories of children working with the natural world of stones, and champions nature as an important resource for today¿s youth. Written in storybook style to appeal to all ages, this book delves briefly into pedagogy to complete an adult understanding. Stonework Play, your stepping-stone to a great natural adventure! Reviews I am grateful to Diana Suskind who started Stonework Play at HEMS School, Kathmandu, and explores the idea all over the globe. It is amazing how it benefits modern lifestyle. Since the era of Kishna, Rama and Buddha, everyone learns from stone¿ Diana inspires us to search such beauty of creation from a single stone. I love Diana and her work as `stone lady¿ Suresh Bhatta, Education Diplomat for HEMS School, Kathmandu, Nepal It is lovely to see the universality of simple, natural resources¿Children respond to natural resources so well¿stones have the history of the planet locked inside of them¿ and, like all good loose parts, they are open to any interpretation. Michael Follett, Director of Outdoor Play and Learning CIC, Bristol, England Works magically with all ages. Thank you Diana for creating an activity which¿ combines tactile connection with our earth, and quiet, thoughtful moments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children in today's world are inundated with information about who to be, what to do and how to live. But what if there was a way to teach children how to manage priorities, focus on goals and be a positive influence on the world around them? The Leader in Meis that programme. It's based on a hugely successful initiative carried out at the A.B. Combs Elementary School in North Carolina. To hear the parents of A. B Combs talk about the school is to be amazed. In 1999, the school debuted a programme that taught The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Peopleto a pilot group of students. The parents reported an incredible change in their children, who blossomed under the programme. By the end of the following year the average end-of-grade scores had leapt from 84 to 94. This book will launch the message onto a much larger platform. Stephen R. Covey takes the 7 Habits, that have already changed the lives of millions of people, and shows how children can use them as they develop. Those habits -- be proactive, begin with the end in mind, put first things first, think win-win, seek to understand and then to be understood, synergize, and sharpen the saw -- are critical skills to learn at a young age and bring incredible results, proving that it's never too early to teach someone how to live well.
