Omniscience
In the aftermath of Covid-19 and the tumultuous events of the 2020s, Drs. David Shaw and Sharon Roberts work to develop a new kind of technology to help the world heal. Omniscience, this new technology, is meant to show people their future and instill in them confidence and assurance. It requires a chip to be implanted in the user’s brain, but a science this new is bound to create maliciousness in those desperate to gain control over Omniscience. As Omniscience takes the world by storm, the dangers of the implant come to light and brings about panic and violence that rivals the upheavals of the 20th century.

The Indispensable CEO
Centuries ago, leadership was considered an innate trait something you were either born with or without. However, over the last century, this concept evolved as researchers identified different leadership styles for various situations. Today, leadership is recognized more as a mindset than merely a title, and like any mindset, it can be shaped, shifted, and trained. The key to developing this leadership mindset lies in mental models. While numerous leadership styles have emerged autocratic, democratic, laissezfaire, transformative, servant, and visionary no single theory can address all situations a leader faces. This limitation called for a more flexible thinking framework, leading to the a...
The Prey Gets the Last Laugh
Gordon is a poor black man in America. While he doesn't exactly have a clean slate, he isn't bad enough to be chased down and arrested by the police-but it still happens. Two hours later, he dies in the police car, driven by two white officers, one of who has an immense hatred for black people. Gordon's death is ruled an accident. Police officer Anthony supports white supremacy. He believes black people should be slaves to the white man, so he feels no guilt when Gordon dies, even though he knows it wasn't an accident. Gordon was murdered. His death is questioned all over the United States, but there is no justice since the police department suppresses the truth. Instead of receiving hate, Anthony is greeted with love and called a hero. It appears he has gotten away with his crime. He concealed the truth from society ... but will he be able to conceal the truth from his own conscience? Due to his actions, Anthony's soul is irrevocably bruised.

By the end of the decade, she was perched firmly atop the best-seller lists with The Joy Luck Club, with more popular novels to follow.

Tender, sincere, complex, honest and uncompromising in its portrayal of Chinese culture and its affect on women, Amy Tan's work earned her both praise and excoriation from critics, adoration from fans, and a place as one of America's most notable modern writers. This reference work introduces and...

Through personal reflective essays for and about her daughter, OiYan Poon looks at how the debate over affirmative action reveals the divergent ways Asian Americans conceive of their identity. With moving sincerity and insightful study, Poon combines...
