This book is designed for intermediate and advanced students who would like to improve their writing and speaking abilities in English, learn about a variety of grammar forms, and reflect and discuss current social and cultural issues throughout the world. This text has three units addressing cultural issues relating to Asia, Europe, and North America. There are three levels in which to engage students. The first involves a variety of information exchanges: Students discuss their values, background, families, social life and ideas. The second level provides either guided discussions (students are asked to give their own responses to a conversation), or a set of constructed issues / scenarios. In the third level, students can move up to critical discussions focusing on one or more cultural issues. To avoid the usual monotony that comes with a similar format, this book offers three different kinds of learning experiences: pair work, surveys / speeches, and group reactions.

Culture is a mountain effective leaders must climb, and this definitive guide will take leaders to the top. For over a decade, Jaime Taets, Chief Vision Officer and founder of Keystone Group International, has been the go-to consultant for executive teams hoping to untangle their issues and improve their businesses—profits, strategies, and services—along the way. And throughout that time, Jaime has learned that most business problems are actually people problems. To get at the root cause, leaders must go deeper than the business layer with questions that are rooted in culture and people. Jaime developed “The Impact Model” for this reason; to help you as a leader understand all the factors woven together that create a strong culture. The Culture Climb will help leaders • understand and examine their work culture in a simple yet comprehensive way, • discover how to use culture to grow a healthy and sustainable business, and • push past all the theories about culture to help leaders make real change. If you want to get your business unstuck—if you want to take it to the next level—you are going to have to address culture. The Culture Climb can show you how.

At the center of these memories is his elusive, unrequited love, Sarah, a fiercely intelligent French scholar caught in the intricate tension between Europe and the Middle East.

For fans of Cheryl Strayed, the gripping story of a biologist's human-powered journey from the Pacific Northwest to the Arctic to rediscover her love of birds, nature, and adventure. During graduate school, as she conducted experiments on the peculiarly misshapen beaks of chickadees, ornithologist Caroline Van Hemert began to feel stifled in the isolated, sterile environment of the lab. Worried that she was losing her passion for the scientific research she once loved, she was compelled to experience wildness again, to be guided by the sounds of birds and to follow the trails of animals. In March of 2012, she and her husband set off on a 4,000-mile wilderness journey from the Pacific rainforest to the Alaskan Arctic, traveling by rowboat, ski, foot, raft, and canoe. Together, they survived harrowing dangers while also experiencing incredible moments of joy and grace -- migrating birds silhouetted against the moon, the steamy breath of caribou, and the bond that comes from sharing such experiences. A unique blend of science, adventure, and personal narrative, The Sun is a Compass explores the bounds of the physical body and the tenuousness of life in the company of the creatures who make their homes in the wildest places left in North America. Inspiring and beautifully written, this love letter to nature is a lyrical testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Winner of the 2019 Banff Mountain Book Competition: Adventure Travel
